Letter from the Board of Management

Dear Shareholders, Dear Partners and Friends of STRATEC,

In the second quarter, we upheld the performance already seen in the first three months of the current financial year. At 1 70.0 million, our sales for the first six months were 1.4% ahead of the previous year's figure. We succeeded at the same time in further enhancing our profitability, with an EBIT margin of 17.1% as of June 30, 2015, compared to 16.3% in the same period in the previous year. This margin improvement was driven by both a higher share of sales from service parts, as well as by greater efficiency in our production activities. Consolidated net income grew by 1.8% to 1 9.8 million, while earnings per share rose by 1.2% to 1 0.83 compared to an adjusted earnings per share of 1 0.82 in the previous year.

We continue to expect sales growth in 2015, accompanied by a slight increase in profitability, and can confirm our currently valid financial forecast through to 2017, which provides for average annual sales growth of between 8% and 12% based on figures for the 2013 financial year.

STRATEC is focusing in the current year on achieving further key development milestones for future market launches by our partners. In the first half of 2015 our Data Management business unit successfully acquired a major development order in the field of middleware software from one of the world's leading diagnostics and pharmaceuticals companies. Although the implications of this two-year order for the STRATEC Group are in the low single-digit percentage range, and thus do not impact on the current company forecast, this order nevertheless represents a significant milestone in the development of the Data Management business.

Our construction work in Romania and Switzerland is progressing well and we expect to be able to move into both buildings in the first half of 2016.

Shareholders participating in this year's Annual General Meeting, held in Pforzheim on May 22, 2015, approved all of the proposals submitted by the management. The distribution of a dividend of 1 0.70 per share for the 2014 financial year was approved. This represents the eleventh consecutive dividend increase and is consistent with our aim to remain an attractive growth investment for shareholders, while also ensuring dividend reliability.

We would like to thank you very warmly for the trust you have placed in us.

Interim Group Management Report

Report on the Earnings, Financial and Net Asset Position

STRATEC increased its sales by 1.4% to 1 70.0 million in the six three months of the 2015 financial year (previous year: 1 69.1 million). The gross profit (gross profit on sales) grew to 1 25.5 million (36.4% of sales), up by 1 2.9 million compared with the previous year (32.7% of sales). This growth was chiefly driven by efficiency enhancements and the solid performance of the spare parts and services business.

Gross development expenses rose by 1 0.2 million to 1 10.8 million, of which 1 7.5 million were capitalized. Sales-related expenses increased from 1 3.0 million to 1 3.3 million, while administration expenses decreased by 1 0.5 million to 1 5.3 million. This was due to the recognition in the previous year of an expense for the remaining years of the term of the employment contract with a departed member of the Board of Management.

Due to lower amortization of intangible assets, depreciation and amortization reduced from 1 3.6 million to 1 2.2 million. At 1 12.0 million, EBIT was 1 1.7 million, or 16.7%, ahead of the previous year's figure (which included a one-off charge due to the aforementioned termination of a management board contract). This resulted in an EBIT margin of 17.1% (previous year: 14.9%). Net financial expenses amounted to 1 0.2 million (previous year: 1 -0.1 million). The tax result amounted to 1 2.3 million. STRATEC can thus report consolidated net income of 1 9.8 million for the period under report (previous year: 1 8.9 million). Earnings per share amounted to 1 0.83 (previous year: 1 0.76).

Despite ongoing strong demand for analyzer systems and a full development pipeline, inventories rose only slightly from 1 18.1 million in the previous year to 1 19.2 million. Due to higher trade receivables and higher income tax receivables, receivables and other assets grew by 1 6.5 million to 1 31.0 million.

The equity ratio amounted to 78.4%. The Group has reduced its non-current financial liabilities from 1 4.5 million to 1 3.8 million. Current financial liabilities, by contrast, grew to 1 4.5 million due to the taking up of a loan on favorable interest terms. The increase in trade payables was driven by higher procurement volumes for raw materials and supplies. Alongside the marked increase in prepayments for development services, other current liabilities also include the aforementioned one-off liability for the remaining years of the term of the employment contract with a departed member of the Board of Management.

The cash flow from operating activities decreased from 1 17.1 million to 1 12.3 million. At 1 2.8 million, investments fell short of the previous year's figure. Even though an amount of 1 8.2 million was distributed as dividends, cash and cash equivalents nevertheless increased from 1 46.6 million to 1 49.1 million.

Changes in the Business Environment and Implications for STRATEC

Macroeconomic framework: In its economic outlook published in July 2015, the International Monetary Fund (IWF) reduced its global economic growth forecast for 2015 by 0.2 percentage points. Alongside the ongoing crisis in Greece and the unexpectedly sharp dip in growth in the US, this reduction was made to account for the further increase in downside risks due to the economic slowdown and marked fall in stock market prices in China.

The IMF has so far not issued any downward correction in its growth forecast for China, but nevertheless significantly reduced its forecasts for North America. The IMF is comparatively confident with regard to further growth in the euro area. Irrespective of the permanent crisis situation in Greece, the IMF may not have changed its growth forecast for the euro area as a whole, but has nevertheless recently raised its forecasts for several euro countries. To date, the events in Greece have not led to any notable contagion. According to the IMF, the economic recovery in the euro area so far appeared largely intact, while domestic economic activity and inflation were showing robust developments.

Based on the IMF's latest forecast, the global economy is set to grow by 3.3% this year – less than the 3.5% forecast by the IMF in April 2015 and the growth of 3.4% achieved last year. The IMF has left its 2016 forecast unchanged at 3.8%.

Irrespective of the aforementioned developments, global demographic developments represent one of the most serious challenges facing the world. The dynamic growth in the world's population, together with an unprecedented increase in the elderly share of the population and the sharp rise in the number of people with access to medical care, represent key factors which will shape the 21st century. This situation is accompanied by scientific and technological progress, which is opening up ever new possibilities in the fields of medicine, research, diagnostics and life science.

These developments will lead not only to an increase in the numbers of clinical diagnostics tests to be performed, but will also result in new, unique business opportunities for which STRATEC is optimally positioned with its automation solutions and on which it will continue to focus its strategy and operations.

In view of the factors outlined above, global economic risks only have a very limited impact on STRATEC's business performance and business model. Moreover, long-term supply agreements with our customers minimize the potential implications for STRATEC.

Industry and market data: Based on different estimates, in-vitro diagnostics (IVD) will continue to show average global growth of around 4% to 5% in the years until 2018 and 2020 respectively. Some regions, such as the BRIC states, are growing significantly faster, while other regions, such as Europe, are not expected to show any growth. Similar developments can be seen in the various IVD segments. While some areas in which STRATEC consciously does not operate, such as blood sugar self-testing, are expected to decline significantly, other segments are expected to show very strong growth in future as well. STRATEC plans to continue benefiting to a disproportionate extent from these growth rates by deliberately tracking down and developing projects in high-growth niches. The company currently has both customer projects and proprietary platform solutions in development for several of these sub-segments.

The US still represent a special case. While cost savings could have a slightly negative impact on the test volumes handled at laboratories, overall test volumes are nevertheless expected to rise due to the growing number of people with health insurance. On the one hand, the number of people insured has most recently risen slightly due to lower unemployment rates and is expected to remain stable until 2018. On the other hand the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) is expected to substantially increase the number of people insured from around 217 million in 2015 to around 235 million.

Even though the diagnostics, pharmaceuticals and healthcare industry repeatedly witnesses short-term periods of consolidation at individual market players due to corporate takeovers and new technological development possibilities, several underlying factors will guarantee sustainable growth in future as well:

• Increasing market regulation, leading manual and semi-automated, in some cases homegrown test methods to be displaced by fully automated processes – whose lifecycles are thus simultaneously extended
• Development and expansion in healthcare systems, particularly in developing and emerging economies (especially in BRIC states)
• Expansion in global infrastructure and thus improved access to medical care
• Rapidly growing niche markets due to new medical discoveries and new diagnostic possibilities
• Newly developed diagnostics tests in all major areas of application, such as for oncology, sexually transmitted diseases, or hospital bugs
• Demographic developments (growing global population, increasingly elderly population with growing diagnostics requirements).

Report on Forecasts and other Statements Concerning the Company's Expected Development

STRATEC aims to generate permanent, sustainable growth in all business divisions. We are building on innovative solutions enabling our customers to serve their markets with high-quality products. Alongside the activities within our group of companies, we are also relying on further growth in our target markets, especially in the field of in-vitro diagnostics and on the continuing positive trend towards outsourcing at our partners and potential customers.

STRATEC published its currently valid company forecast on July 12, 2013. This forecasts average annual growth of between 8% and 12% through to 2017 on the basis of 2013 sales (1 128 million). Growth rates may fluctuate significantly in individual years and quarters and thus leave the target corridor in individual reporting periods. The overall forecast through to 2017 should nevertheless remain intact. This forecast remains valid for the overall period. The highly transparent forecasts provided by our customers enable us to issue forecasts with a high degree of security, but also reveal potential upward and downward deviations from forecast developments in individual periods.

For the current 2015 financial year, STRATEC expects to be able to generate slight sales growth accompanied by a slight increase in its EBIT margin. Due to expected and planned market launches, among other factors, the company expects to generate substantial sales growth once again in 2016.

Due to the immense debt accumulated by some countries and economic regions and the resultant potential implications (debt crisis), movements in currency markets, and volatile developments in individual economic regions, the level of budgeting reliability remains low for all industries, and for the global economy as a whole. This situation continues to harbor risks for STRATEC's customers and suppliers, as a result of which STRATEC also faces economic risks. The ongoing difficult economic climate also means that STRATEC continues to face increased market risk.

Apart from this, since the assessment of the company's situation provided on March 31, 2015 upon the compilation of the Annual Report for the 2014 financial year, no new information has arisen which could lead to any change in our assessment of the company's expected development.

Opportunity and Risk Report

We analyze and evaluate the risks facing the company and its business environment within the framework of our risk management system, which has been established as an early warning risk identification system. Furthermore, this system also includes an internal control system (IKS) and a compliance system to ensure compliance with the relevant legal and industry-specific requirements.

STRATEC's business activities basically focus on sustainability and responsible behavior. In future, the company will document this in a sustainability report.

Apart from the factors outlined in the "Report on forecasts and other statements concerning the company's expected development", we do not see any changes compared with the risks and opportunities identified in the Group Management Report for the 2014 financial year dated March 31, 2015. Details of our risk management system and our company's specific opportunity and risk profile can be found in Section D "Opportunity and Risk Report" of our 2014 Group Management Report. Information about our use of financial instruments can be found in Section F of the 2014 Group Management Report.

Notes to the Group Interim Report

for the Period from January 1 to June 30, 2015 of STRATEC Biomedical AG

Summary of principal accounting and valuation methods

The consolidated financial statements of STRATEC Biomedical AG as of December 31, 2014 were prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the EU valid at the balance sheet date. In the interim report as of June 30, 2015, which has been prepared on the basis of International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34 "Interim Financial Reporting", application has been made of the same accounting methods as in the consolidated financial statements for the 2014 financial year. One exception applies to the first-time inclusion in the scope of consolidation of STRATEC Services AG, Beringen, Switzerland, a company founded in the 2014 financial year. The implications of the first-time full consolidation of this company for the net asset, financial and earnings position of the STRATEC Group are of subordinate significance. Application has also been made of all interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) with binding effect as of June 30, 2015.

There were no indications of any potential impairment in goodwill at the balance sheet date.

The interim reports are neither audited, nor subject to an audit review by the group auditor, Ebner Stolz GmbH & Co. KG Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaft Steuerberatungsgesellschaft, Stuttgart.

Reference is made to the consolidated financial statements of STRATEC Biomedical AG as of December 31, 2014 with regard to further information concerning the individual accounting and valuation methods applied.

The Group's currency is the euro. Unless otherwise indicated, all amounts have been stated in thousand euros (1 thousand).

Segment disclosures

Apart from the first-time inclusion of STRATEC Services AG, Beringen, Switzerland, in the "Instrumentation" segment, there have been no changes in segmentation compared with the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2014.

The STRATEC Group invested a total of 1 10.8 million in research and development in the first six months of the 2015 financial year (previous year: 1 9.3 million).
