Viscom AG: Preliminary figures - Viscom surpasses its own expectations for
financial year 2011

Hanover, 27 February 2012 − Viscom AG (ISIN DE0007846867) has increased its
results in the fourth quarter of 2011 even further according to preliminary
figures. This means that the Company has exceeded its 2011 guidance, which
it had already raised last year.

In the past financial year, Viscom AG generated revenue of EUR 53.5
million, corresponding to a rise of around 33.7 % year-on-year (previous
year: EUR 40.0 million), and slightly exceeding its own revenue forecast of
EUR 50 million to EUR 53 million.

Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) developed particularly positively
in financial year 2011. At EUR 12.0 million (previous year: EUR 7.1
million), EBIT was 69.0 % up year-on-year, surpassing the published 2011
guidance by around 25.0 %. EBIT includes a one-off effect for capitalised
development costs to the amount of EUR 1.5 million. The EBIT margin was
22.5 %, considerably higher than the forecast from 27 July 2011, which
predicted a rise somewhere in the region between 15 % and 18 %. This picks
up on the good performance in the third quarter of 2011.

These preliminary figures are subject to the attestation of the auditor and
the approval of the Supervisory Board. The final key figures on the Group's
financial position and earnings situation for financial year 2011 will be
published on 27 March 2012.
