Berlin, 5 March 2014 - Based on provisional, unaudited figures, MBB
Industries AG (ISIN DE000A0ETBQ4), a family-owned, medium-sized
corporation, continued its profitable growth in the 2013 financial year.
The Group's sales for the year as a whole increased to EUR228.2 million in
comparison to the previous year's level of EUR204.9 million, representing
growth of 11.4%. EBITDA amounted to EUR22.7 million after EUR24.3 million
in the previous year. At EUR13.5 million, consolidated net profit for 2013
was up slightly on the previous year's level of EUR13.4 million. Earnings
per share came to EUR2.09, compared to EUR2.08 in the previous year.

Despite a dividend distribution of more than EUR3 million and record
capital expenditure, the Group's equity and liquidity increased further as
at 31 December 2013. Equity rose from EUR57.4 million at the end of 2012 to
EUR67.8 million at the end of 2013, corresponding to an equity ratio of
38.2%. The Group's liquidity climbed to EUR54.9 million as at the end of
2013 after EUR45.2 million in the previous year. At the same time, net
liquidity declined from EUR31.5 million in 2012 to EUR23.8 million as at
the end of 2013 as a result of capital expenditure impacting liquidity in
the amount of approximately EUR15 million in the 2013 financial year. The
funds were mainly invested in a new paper machine at Hanke Tissue, the
formation of MBB Technologies (China) Ltd., land and buildings, and the
acquisition of the companies DHK automotive and HTZ Holztrocknung.

MBB Industries expects to continue its profitable growth course in 2014
with sales of more than EUR250 million. The company sees its asset and
liquidity resources as a good basis for a continuous dividend policy,
organic growth and further acquisitions.

The 2013 annual report of MBB Industries AG with the final figures will be
published on 30 April 2014.
