Ad hoc announcement:

Sales in the third quarter of the 2009/10 fiscal year

Wolford increases third-quarter sales

  • Sales in the third quarter up 5.7 percent from previous year

  • Proprietary stores raise third-quarter sales by 12.3 percent

  • Positive earnings outlook

Vienna/Bregenz, February 5, 2010

The perceptible pick-up of sales in the second quarter was confirmed in the
third quarter of the current fiscal year. On balance, sales totaled EUR
44.2 million in the period November 2009 - January 2010, an increase of 5.7
percent compared to the third quarter of the previous fiscal year. In
particular, this positive trend featured a 12.3 percent rise in sales at
Wolford's proprietary stores (boutiques, shop-in-shops and factory
outlets).

In respect to Wolford's core geographic markets, Germany (+6.7 percent),
the USA (+16.7 percent in USD), Great Britain (+9.8 percent in GBP) and
Spain (+17.8 percent) particularly contributed to this increase in sales
during the period under review.

Whereas total sales in the first half-year 2009/10 were down by 10.7
percent from the previous year's level, the positive sales development in
the third quarter enabled the company to limit the decline in sales to -4.9
percent for the first nine months of the 2009/10 fiscal year compared to
the same period of 2008/09.

In respect to earnings, from today's perspective the Executive Board of
Wolford Aktiengesellschaft expects a considerable earnings improvement for
the first nine months as well as for the entire 2009/10 fiscal year in
comparison to the respective periods of the previous year.
