• Consolidated revenue increases by 6.3% to EUR 22.1 million in first nine
  months
• EBITDA improves to reach EUR 0.6 million after first nine months
• Company plans to raise additional capital

Münster, 7 November 2014. United Labels AG (ISIN: DE 0005489561, WKN:
548956) saw its Group revenue rise by 6.3% to EUR 22.1 million (prev. year:
EUR 20.8 m) in the first nine months of 2014. At EUR 0.6 million, the
Group's operating profit (EBITDA) was much improved on last year's result
(EUR -0.2 million). Having accounted for depreciation and amortisation, the
Group's EBIT rose by EUR 0.8 million to EUR 0.1 million (prev. year: EUR
-0.7 million). The gross margin increased to 32.4% (prev. year: 30.8%).
Thus, the optimisation programme initiated at the beginning of 2013
continues to have the desired impact.

Looking ahead to the current financial year, United Labels AG anticipates
that sales revenue will grow at a rate of between 3% and 12% year on year,
depending on the momentum of sales in the run-up to Christmas, while
operating profit is expected to be in positive territory.

Against this background and based on the growth opportunities identified
and realised in the current year, the company plans to broaden and drive
forward its expansion efforts in the coming years. In this context,
measures currently in preparation for the purpose of raising additional
capital of up to EUR 5 million are seen as an important prerequisite for
the expansion of the company's business model and the funding of growth.
