 Special Retail segment continues to develop well
 Record order backlog at year end
 Proposal for dividend comparable to last year's payout

Münster, March 13, 2008 – United Labels AG (ISIN: DE 0005489561), an
enterprise specialising in comicware sold under licence, generated Group
sales revenue of EUR 43.2 million in the 2007 financial year (prev. year:
EUR 45.3 million) and consolidated net profit of EUR 0.4 million (prev.
year: EUR 1.5 million).

Revenue within the Special Retail segment rose by 20% to EUR 13.2 million
(prev. year: EUR 11.0 million). The segment result improved significantly,
reaching EUR 0.6 million (prev. year: EUR 0.1 million). Within this
context, 'The Simpsons', 'Die Wilden Kerle' and 'SpongeBob' were among the
principal growth drivers.
By contrast, the Key Account segment was relatively restrained: it produced
revenue of EUR 30.0 million (prev. year: EUR 34.3 million), particularly as
a result of more tentative orders in the run-up to the 2007 Christmas
season.

Order backlog at the end of the year rose by 12% to a record level of EUR
13.1 million (prev. year: EUR 11.7 million).

The majority of the company's subsidiaries produced an encouraging
performance. Consolidated revenue in Spain increased by 27% to EUR 12.2
million, while Italy achieved growth of 74%, taking its revenue to EUR 1.6
million. Both the UK and Belgium also increased their sales.

On the basis of the Group's annual performance, the Management Board
proposes a dividend payment equivalent to last year's figure of EUR 0.20
per share.

The company plans to generate growth in all areas of business over the
course of the 2008 financial year, particularly in the Key Account segment.
The aim is to exceed the record level of sales achieved in 2006 by
implementing structural changes and introducing new licences and products.

The audited financial statements for the financial year just ended will be
published as part of the annual results press conference today in
Münster/Germany.
