Berlin, 13. August 2012 - MBB Industries AG (ISIN DE000A0ETBQ4), a
family-owned, medium-sized corporation, has generated significant increases
in revenues and earnings in the first half of 2012, according to
provisional figures. All holdings contributed to the highly positive

quarter of 2012 and has since been renamed MBB Fertigungstechnik. Revenues
of MBB Industries climbed by 73% in the first half of 2012 to EUR89.8
million after EUR51.9 million in the same period of the previous year.
EBITDA rose by 146% to EUR10.9 million after EUR4.4 million in the first
half of 2011. EBIT improved by 217% to EUR8.4 million after previously
EUR2.6 million. Consolidated earnings also increased strongly by 151% to
EUR5.8 million after EUR2.3 million in the same period of the previous
year. These figures include income from the first-time consolidation of MBB
Fertigungstechnik of EUR1.7 million. Earnings per share in the first half
of 2012 amounted to EUR0.89 after EUR0.35 in the first half of the previous
year. For the year as a whole, MBB Industries is still assuming sales of
more than EUR200 million and a continuing positive performance in earnings.

In the second quarter of 2012, in which MBB Fertigungstechnik was included
in reporting for the first time, sales rose by 141% to EUR58.4 million.
EBITDA improved by 258% year-on-year to EUR6.2 million, while EBIT rose by

of 2012 after EUR13.7 million at the end of 2011. It should be noted that
MBB Fertigungstechnik was acquired and a dividend of around EUR2.8 million
