United Labels AG: Special Retail segment records growth with The Simpsons

• Key account business in Germany remains subdued
  -Total revenues and earnings generated by subsidiaries exceed last
  year's figure
  -Consolidated net result after taxes unchanged year on year

Münster, November 6, 2007 – United Labels AG (ISIN: DE 0005489561), a
company specialising in comicware sold under licence, recorded a solid
performance within its Special Retail segment in the first nine months of
the financial year. Segment revenue improved by 17% to EUR 9.1 million
(prev. year: EUR 7.8 million). The segment result edged up to EUR 0.5
million (prev. year: minus EUR 0.3 million). Within this context, both 'The
Simpsons' and 'The Wild Soccer Bunch' contributed to the overall
performance.

Business within the Key Account segment was again restrained. Revenue
amounted to EUR 19.7 million (prev. year: EUR 22.1 million). The segment
result stood at EUR 3.1 million (prev. year: EUR 3.4 million). The
year-on-year decline in revenue within this segment is attributable to key
account activities in Germany. Within this area, the introduction in August
of a new key account brand by the name of 'House of Trends Europe', which
is directed specifically at the budget end of the market, is expected to
provide fresh impetus.

Overall, revenues and earnings recorded by the subsidiaries exceeded last
year's figures.

In total, Group revenue amounted to EUR 28.8 million in the first nine
months of 2007 (prev. year: EUR 29.9 million). EBIT rose to EUR 0.4 million
(prev. year: EUR 0.3 million). The consolidated net result after taxes
remained unchanged year on year at minus EUR 0.2 million.

Group revenue grew to EUR 10.1 million in the third quarter (prev. year:
EUR 9.8 million). The earnings before interest and taxes for this period
amounted to EUR 0.2 million (prev. year: loss of EUR 0.1 million), while
the post-tax result was break even (prev. year: loss of EUR 0.1 million).

Order backlog increased by 19% to EUR 17.8 million (prev. year: EUR 15.0
million)
