MBB Industries AG continues profitable growth in first half of 2013
- Revenue rises by 27.3% to EUR114.3 million

• Consolidated earnings improve by 9.6% to EUR6.3 million

• Outlook positive

Berlin, 30 July 2013 - MBB Industries AG (ISIN DE000A0ETBQ4), a
family-owned, medium-sized corporation, has posted further growth in
revenue and earnings in the first half of 2013. Revenue increased by 27.3%,
from EUR89.8 million in the first half of 2012 to EUR114.3 million.
Consolidated earnings improved by 9.6% to EUR6.3 million after EUR5.8
million previously. Per share, this corresponds to EUR0.98 after EUR0.89 in
the first half of the previous year.

Despite the dividend payment of more than EUR3 million in June, MBB
Industries AG further expanded its cash position in the reporting period.
This reflects the company's earnings power. Its cash and cash equivalents
rose to EUR46.2 million as at the end of June 2013 after EUR45.2 million at
the end of 2012. Equity climbed to EUR59.1 million after EUR57.4 million as
at the end of the financial year.

In the second quarter of 2013, revenue amounted to EUR58.8 million after
EUR58.4 million in the same quarter of the previous year. Earnings improved
to EUR3.0 million after previously EUR2.6 million. It should be noted that
MBB Fertigungstechnik, acquired in the previous year, has been contributing
to the revenue and earnings of MBB Industries AG since the second quarter
of 2012. The good business performance is still driven by the entire group.
With the construction of a new paper machine at Hanke Tissue and the
development of own production facilities in China for MBB Fertigungstechnik
strategically important investments in the further growth of the existing
portfolio companies are currently being implemented. The outlook is
positive, hence the company is still assuming a revenue increase with a
healthy earnings level for 2013 as a whole. Thanks to its good liquidity
position MBB Industries will be able to support the anticipated growth of
its existing portfolio companies, as well as perform further acquisitions.

The half-year report will be published on 30 August 2013 and will be
available for download at www.mbb.com.
