Preliminary quarterly results

First Sensor enjoyed a successful nine months of the current financial
year. Preliminary sales more than doubled in the first nine months, partly
as a result of the acquisition carried out last year. They rose by 109 %
from EUR40.7 million to approximately EUR85 million. This high growth
significantly outstrips the average growth of our markets and clearly
demonstrates the dynamism of our further development. In the first nine
months we generated nearly doubled EBITDA before integration costs of
approximately EUR11.3 million. Thus, the previous year's figure (EUR5.7
million) was increased by 97%. Before accounting for the integration costs
and amortization effects from the Purchase Price Allocation, earnings per
share were EUR0.38 in the first three quarters of 2012, an increase of
around 20% (previous year: EUR0.32).
