MBB Industries AG: Earnings rise to EUR1.41 per share after first nine
months of 2012
- Earnings improve by 272% to EUR9.1 million

• Revenue growth of 90% to EUR151 million

• Outlook remains positive

Berlin, 6 November 2012 - MBB Industries AG (ISIN DE000A0ETBQ4), a
family-owned, medium-sized corporation, has again enjoyed a dynamic
business performance in the third quarter of 2012 and has significantly
increased revenues and posted a strong improvement in earnings, according
to provisional figures. Consolidated earnings improved by 272% to EUR9.1
million in the first nine months of 2012 after EUR2.5 million in the same
period of the previous year. EBITDA rose by 190% to EUR17.3 million after
EUR6.0 million in the first three quarters of 2011. EBIT increased by 348%
as against the previous year's figure of EUR3.0 million to EUR13.6 million.
Earnings per share after the first nine months therefore amounted to
EUR1.41 after EUR0.37 previously. The highly positive business performance
was driven by all holdings, and MBB Fertigungstechnik, which was acquired
at the end of the first quarter of 2012, has been included in these figures
pro rata. MBB Industries is assuming that its positive business performance
will continue for 2012 as a whole and is still forecasting sales of more
than EUR200 million.

Consolidated earnings amounted to EUR3.4 million in the third quarter of
2012, up 1,999% as against the same quarter of the previous year. EBITDA
increased by 319% to EUR6.5 million while EBIT rose by 1,236% to EUR5.2
million. Earnings per share amounted to EUR0.52 for the third quarter of
2012.

The positive development in business resulted in a further increase in net
cash and cash equivalents to EUR28.3 million as at the end of September
2012. This growth over 2012 was achieved in spite of the acquisition of MBB
Fertigungstechnik and the dividend payment of around EUR2.8 million,
corresponding to EUR0.44 per share. With its cash and cash equivalents of
EUR51.5 million as at the end of September 2012, MBB Industries is also
able to continue its expansion through acquisitions in addition to its
internal business growth.

The full quarterly report will be available for download under Investor
Relations at www.mbb.com from 30 November 2012.
