Alexander van der Lof, CEO TKH: "The focus to accelerate turnover growth has borne fruit in the first quarter. Newly developed market positions and innovations have made an important contribution to this. Following the very strong fourth quarter last year, TKH has again had a strong quarter in this first quarter 2007. With that, the developments are in line with the outlook communicated at the presentation of the annual results in March 2007."

Developments first quarter

Turnover rose by 31.3% in the first quarter. Organic growth came in at 25.3%. The remaining growth was realised by the companies acquired during 2006. Growth in turnover was realised in all three groups (Technical Trading group, Cable group and Machinery group). The most important increases were realised in the Cable group and Machinery group. Especially strong increases were realised in Building Solutions and Industrial Solutions. Within Building Solutions, this was the consequence of a further increased investment level in the construction- and installation sector and the development of new market positions in Europe. The Industrial Solutions segment benefited from healthy growth of industrial activity in Europe and the many innovations introduced by TKH.

Operating result (EBIT) rose by 36.1% in the first quarter to € 12.7 million. The share of sales with lower added value was relatively high in the first quarter. All groups realised an increase in operating result. The Machinery group's operating result showed the highest increase.

Net profit was up 32.9% to € 8.1 million. The tax burden increased slightly to 31.1% from 29.9%, mainly due to an increase in the share of the profit realised in Germany, where the tax burden is higher.

The developments in the first quarter were in line with the outlook communicated at the presentation of the annual results in March 2007.
