Dürr raises forecast for the full year 2012 following a strong first six
months

June 21, 2012 - Dürr AG - WKN 556520 / ISIN DE0005565204

Bietigheim-Bissingen, June 21, 2012 - Due to the strong and
higher-than-expected demand from the automobile industry, Dürr is raising
its forecast for sales revenues, incoming orders and earnings for the full
year 2012. Dürr now expects a 20% increase in sales revenues year over year
to around EUR 2.3 billion, after a previous guidance of at least EUR 2.0
billion. The forecast for incoming orders was raised from at least EUR 2.0
billion to EUR 2.5 billion. The EBIT margin is expected to reach 6.5% to
7.0%, as opposed to 5.5% to 6.0% previously forecast. The forecast increase
is based on the assumption that the general economic conditions will not
deteriorate any further.

Dürr will publish its results for the second quarter and the first six
months of 2012 on August 1, 2012.
