3-Month Report Q1 2006

Dear shareholders, employees and friends of United Internet!

United Internet got off to a successful start in its fiscal year 2006. Compared with the same period last year, there was strong growth in all key figures. Sales were up 81 % — from C 157.9 million to C 285.6 million. Pre-tax earnings (EBT) also grew strongly from C 25.5 million last year to C 41.5 million — representing growth of 63 %.

All business segments contributed toward this positive result:

In the Product sector, with our brands GMX, WEB.DE, 1&1 and Schlund + Partner, sales grew by 91 % over the previous year to C 217.6 million and EBT by 53 % to C 34.8 million. During the period under review, the number of paying customer contracts grew by 300,000 to 5.38 million. This growth was driven above all by our international hosting business, our fee-based Information Management products and our DSL business. The number of webhosting contracts in the UK, France, Austria and the USA rose by 110,000 — the highest-ever quarterly increase — to 710,000. In our Information Management segment there was growth of 80,000 contracts to 1.07 million and in our DSL business the number of contracts increased by 100,000 to 1.86 million. In our DSL business, we focused on the launch of ADSL 2+ connections with up to 16,000 kbit/s in the first quarter of 2006. We also concentrated on building customer loyalty with existing customers. We were thus able to sell 270,000 DSL connections to new and existing customers, resulting in a total of 1.23 million own DSL connections as of March 31, 2006. We also achieved strong growth in the number of telephony customers and completed 480 million telephone minutes per month in March (prior year: 50 million minutes).

In our Outsourcing segment — represented by the brands InterNetX and twenty4help — the measures introduced in 2005 to raise profitability are increasingly taking effect: compared with the first quarter of 2005, sales were up 19 % to C 27.6 million. EBT improved by 27 % to C 2.8 million.

In the Online Marketing segment, our brands AdLINK, Sedo and affilinet are benefiting from the ongoing positive development of the online advertising market. Compared with the same period last year, sales in this segment grew by 92 %, from C 21.0 million to C 40.4 million, while EBT improved from C 1.4 million to C 4.8 million.

We are also optimistic for the coming quarters of 2006: our DSL and telephony products continue to enjoy strong demand, our international expansion in webhosting is making good progress, product innovations such as "Pocket Web" and "maxdome" have been (or will soon be) launched and the boom in online advertising is also to our benefit.

Development of the Group

New record figures for sales and earnings

In the first 3 months of 2006, consolidated sales revenues of the United Internet Group grew by 81 % to C 285.6 million (prior year: C 157.9 million). Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) grew by 79 % to C 54.5 million (prior-year: C 30.4 million). Earnings before taxes (EBT) were up by 63 % to C 41.5 million (prior year: C 25.5 million).

Dynamic growth in DSL tariffs — connections and telephony

A total of 100,000 new DSL customer contracts were concluded in the first quarter of 2006, taking the total to around 1.86 million as of March 31, 2006 (prior year: 1.15 million). In our DSL business, we focused on the launch of ADSL 2+ connections with up to 16,000 kbit/s in the first quarter of 2006. We also concentrated on building customer loyalty with existing customers. We were thus able to sell 270,000 DSL connections to new and existing customers, resulting in a total of 1.23 million own DSL connections as of March 31, 2006. We also achieved strong growth in the number of telephony customers and completed 480 million telephone minutes per month in March (prior year: 50 million minutes).

Successful international expansion

Our international expansion program continues to make strong progress: in the first quarter of 2006, sales outside Germany accounted for C 60.3 million of total consolidated revenue (prior year: C 35.2 million). In our Product business we achieved our highest-ever quarterly increase (110,000) in new hosting contracts. As of March 31, 2006 we had a total of 710,000 customer contracts outside Germany (March 31, 2005: 430,000).

Cash flow / capital expenditures / bank balances

Depreciation of tangible and intangible assets grew from C 5.3 million last year to C 12.8 million in the period under review. This figure includes around C 5.1 million for the amortization of identified and capitalized intangible assets in connection with company acquisitions, resulting from the takeover of WEB.DE's portal business and CibleClick in late 2005. In line with the positive development of earnings, cash flow from operating activities also grew to C 38.7 million (prior year: C 21.1 million).

Investments in tangible and intangible assets amounted to C 9.0 million in the first quarter of 2006 (prior year: C 7.0 million). Investments focused mainly on the Product segment, and especially on the scheduled expansion of infrastructure and server capacities.

As of March 31, 2006, the United Internet Group disclosed net bank liabilities of C 13.4 million (net bank liabilities as of December 31, 2005: C 47.0 million).

Employees

At the end of March 2006, United Internet employed a total of 5,990 people (December 31, 2005: 5,540). The number of staff employed outside Germany amounted to 2,255 (December 31, 2005: 1,831).

IFRS accounting

The accounting and valuation standards used in this quarterly report correspond to the standards applied in the annual financial statements for the fiscal year 2005.

Parent company results

Pre-tax earnings of the parent company, United Internet AG, amounted to C –0.8 million (prior-year: C –0.6 million). As of March 31, 2006 the company had an equity ratio of 80.7 %.

Share and dividend

With an increase in share price of 65 % during the first quarter, the United Internet stock easily outperformed the comparative TecDAX index. The share price rose from C 32.25 on December 31, 2005 to C 53.09 as of March 31, 2006.

At the annual shareholders' meeting on June 13, 2006, the Management Board and Supervisory Board of United Internet AG will recommend the payment of a

25-cent dividend per share for the fiscal year 2005 (prior year: 20 cents per share).

The Management Board and Supervisory Board of United Internet AG will propose the adoption of a share split at the Annual Shareholders' Meeting of June 13, 2006, in Frankfurt am Main, Germany. The share split will be effected as a capital increase from company funds. The existing capital stock will be increased by C 186,825,603.00, from C 62,275,201.00 to C 249,100,804.00, by converting part amounts from capital reserves, revenue reserves and the addition to revenue reserves from retained earnings, which the Annual Shareholders' Meeting should also adopt on June 13, 2006. The capital increase will involve the issue of 186,825,603 new shares. The new division of capital stock will increase the number of company shares from currently 62,275,201 to 249,100,804. In the course of this measure, every shareholder is to receive three additional shares for each existing share.

Outlook

We have made very encouraging progress in the current fiscal year to date, setting new records in all relevant key figures.

We are also optimistic for the year as a whole: demand remains strong for our DSL and telephony products, our international webhosting business continues to make good progress, new products such as Pocket Web and maxdome have been (or will soon be) launched and the positive development in online advertising is benefiting our business model.

Compared with fiscal year 2005, we aim to raise sales, EBITDA and EBT by some 50 % in 2006 and to increase the number of customer contracts to over 6 million.

Segments and Brands

Product Segment

United Internet offers a wide range of innovative internet products in its Product segment. Our customers sign subscription contracts with us based on fixed monthly fees. This business model differentiates us from those suppliers which focus on internet-by-call or customized solutions.

Our products are divided into 3 product lines:

  • Information Management with e-mail solutions, messaging, address management and 0700 numbers
  • Webhosting with domains, home pages, dedicated servers and e-shops
  • Internet-Access with DSL connections (often including internet telephony) and narrowband connections

These products are marketed under our brand names GMX, WEB.DE, 1&1 and Schlund + Partner. This enables us to cover most mass market needs while differentiating between varying target groups. GMX and WEB.DE target mainly consumers, 1&1 focuses on discerning private users and SoHos, while Schlund+Partner serves the SME market.

As of March 31, 2006 we had a total of 5.38 million feebased customer contracts (year-end 2005: 5.08 million).

Customer contracts

Divided according to product lines the customer contract figures comprise 1.07 million contracts in the field of Information Management, 2.25 million in Webhosting and 2.06 million in Internet Access (of which 1.86 million DSL).

Customer contracts by product line in million:

Internet access 1.41 2.06 + 46
Thereof DSL 1.15 1.86 + 62
Total 3.70 5.38 + 45

Our brands not only generate revenues from subscriptions; an increasing proportion of income also results from our online advertising and e-commerce activities. United Internet Media, the marketing company for our GMX, WEB.DE and 1&1 portals and our new shopping portal SmartShopping.de, provides advertisers and agencies in Germany with everything they desire. This includes a reach of over 50 % among German internet users, as well as high-quality, targeted marketing and innovative advertising instruments. Our family of brands provides unique market coverage in Germany.

Compared with the same period last year, Product segment sales grew by 91 % to C 217.6 million (prior-year: C 113.7 million), while EBT was up 53 % to C 34.8 million (prior-year: C 22.8 million).

We are confident that our international expansion strategy will continue to make good progress and that we can maintain our dynamic growth. Thanks to further product innovations and our attractive price/ performance ratio, we also see excellent opportunities for DSL connections and DSL telephony. In total, we expect dynamic growth in the number of customer contracts in all product lines with rising revenues and earnings. Owing to its tremendous reach, coupled with innovative advertising technology and expected market growth, United Internet Media can also look forward to continued success in fiscal 2006.

GMX

GMX targets the mass market with e-mail and DSL products. 9.6 million active users per month make GMX one of Germany's leading portals. In addition to its free e-mail accounts, GMX also offers fee-based e-mail solutions and products for fast internet access.

In the period under review, GMX focused on the launch of its new DSL flat rate for C 0.– in major conurbations

and the preparation of a new shopping area (launched in early April 2006) with extensive product and price comparison capabilities.

WEB.DE

With 10.9 million active internet users, WEB.DE is No. 2 on the German portal market. As does GMX, WEB.DE offers free basic services, as well as fee-based products and services, including the popular WEB.DE Club.

In the first quarter of 2006, WEB.DE expanded its search function by adding a local search option. The local search combines the wealth of regional information provided by the "yellow pages" with the benefits of the internet. By combining a variety of databases, customers are led quickly to their desired results in a particular town or region.

1&1

1&1 is the right address for discerning private users and SoHos looking for Information Management, Webhosting and Access solutions. 1&1 is No. 2 in Germany's DSL sector and the world's leading hosting company, active in 5 countries.

In the first quarter of 2006, 1&1 focused on the following activities in Germany: the start of ADSL 2+ with up to 16,000 kbit/s, the launch of a new Virtual Server product line, the integration of marketing tools into our hosting packages and the launch of Pocket Web. In our international business, we drove the rollout of our product range on the French market. In the UK, we launched content modules and started marketing .eu domains. In the USA, we launched free .info domains.

Schlund + Partner

Our premium brand Schlund + Partner offers small to mid-size companies (SMEs) a range of professional information management, hosting and access products. Customers can also select comprehensive on-site service, which is provided by an extensive network of over 6,700 partner agencies.

With its "DSLfon 2.0", Schlund + Partner presented a fully revamped version of its telephony software at the CeBIT fair. "DSLfon 2.0" enables DSL phone calls directly from all Windows applications with a TAPI interface. We also launched our push service for all Exchange mailboxes in time for the CeBIT fair. Users of Schlund + Partner Exchange accounts can use their mobile phone

Key figures Product Segment

Outsourcing Segment

Our Outsourcing segment comprises purely B2B activities. We are represented in this segment by the brands InterNetX and twenty4help. InterNetX works for other webhosters and twenty4help acts as a service provider for major companies in the field of CRM.

The measures launched in 2005 to raise the profitability of our Outsourcing segment are proving increasingly effective: in the first 3 months of 2006, sales grew by 19 % to C 27.6 million, while EBT was up 27 % to C 2.8 million. We were thus able to stabilize the positive trend in our traditionally strong first quarter.

InterNetX

United Internet's reselling activities are all conducted through InterNetX. The company's hosting products are marketed by InterNetX to other ISPs and multimedia agencies (resellers), who in turn market them under their own name and for their own account.

In the period under review, InterNetX focused on gaining further sales partners. The company now serves over 14,900 resellers, for which it hosts more than 1.2 million domains and 600 servers.

twenty4help

Under the twenty4help brand, we offer major corporations an extensive range of CRM services. Our customers include international blue chip companies, such as Microsoft, Lexmark and Sun. twenty4help operates ten facilities in eight European nations. Over 2,500 employees answer technical enquiries in 22 languages by phone, e-mail or chat.

In view of the modest market development and strong competition in this segment, twenty4help already launched initial measures to enhance profitability in 2005 which began to take effect in the first quarter of 2006.

Quarterly development in C million

Online Marketing

Our Online Marketing segment offers advertisers a variety of marketing and sales solutions: display marketing via AdLINK, affiliate marketing via affilinet and domain marketing via Sedo. Compared with the same period last year, the segment once again achieved strong growth: sales grew by 92 % to C 40.4 million (prior year: C 21.0 million), while EBT improved by 243 %, from C 1.4 million to C 4.8 million. Considering the positive development in this sector and the overall boom in online advertising, we expect further growth in sales and earnings for the fiscal year as a whole.

AdLINK

AdLINK is one of Europe's largest independent marketers of online advertising. The company's business model is based on an online advertising network of high-reach websites, which it markets to advertisers.

In the period under review, the company focused mainly on the further restructuring of its product portfolio and the expansion of its advertising network. The number of page impressions generated by the network per month grew to 6.4 billion (prior year: 4.1 billion).

Sedo

Sedo operates the global domain trading platform "sedo.com", which currently trades around 4 million domains. In its "domain parking" business, Sedo markets some of these domains to advertisers on behalf of the domain owners.

In the period under review, Sedo focused on driving its international expansion – especially in the USA and the UK. The number of active, marketable domains grew to 1.25 million (prior year: 0.5 million).

affilinet

affilinet operates a network for suppliers of affiliate programs and website operators, who integrate these programs into their sites. affilinet profits from the contacts and sales initiated via the network on a purely success-oriented basis.

In the first 3 months of 2006, affilinet focused on integrating the affiliate supplier CibleClick, which it acquired in late 2005, and launching operations in the UK. The company also succeeded in expanding its network: the number of affiliate programs grew to over 810 (prior year: 700) and the number of participating websites reached over 300,000.
