United Labels AG: Nine-month results affected by European consumer climate

• Year-on-year decline in 9M earnings

• Quarterly profit rises to EUR 0.5 million

Münster, 9 November 2009 - United Labels AG (ISIN: DE 0005489561), a
company specialising in comicware sold under licence, generated
consolidated revenue of EUR 28.1 million in the first nine months of 2009
(prev. year: EUR 30.5 million). EBIT for the same period amounted to EUR
-0.9 million (prev. year: EUR 0.2 million). Impacting on all of the Group's
European enterprises, the decline in revenue affected business within both
the Key Account and the Special Retail segment. Within this context, the
units in Germany, England and Spain bore the brunt of the downturn.

In the third quarter, earnings rose significantly year on year. EBIT
increased from EUR -0.1 million a year ago to EUR 0.6 million, while
consolidated profit rose from EUR -0.1 million to EUR 0.5 million.

United Labels AG further extended its activities relating to its
company-operated shops. In July, a new United Labels store was opened at
the highly frequented 'Maremagnum' shopping centre in Barcelona. October
saw the launch of the company's first German airport store in Düsseldorf.
Additional openings have been planned in November 2009 (in Hamburg) and in
February/March 2010 (in Malaga).
