6-month report

21.12.2007

The results of feratel media technologies AG for the first half of
the 2007/2008 business year demonstrate a continued growth in sales
and a marked improvement in EBITDA.

The results for the first two quarters are in line with expectations.
"We are satisfied with our performance," says Markus Schröcksnadel,
CEO of the listed company feratel media technologies AG, in response
to the half-yearly figures. "The results show that we are right on
target."

At EUR 8.8 million, consolidated sales at feratel media technologies
AG are 49 percent up in the period-to-period comparison. That
increase is due primarily to consolidation of the Sitour companies
acquired in the last quarter of the previous year in Austria, Italy,
the Czech Republic and Slovakia. Earnings before interest, taxes,
depreciation and amortization also showed a further improvement in
comparison with the first half of 2006/2007, from minus TEUR 310.7 to
minus TEUR 151.2.

Seasonal pattern of business The results for the first two quarters
need to be interpreted in the light of the fact that the period from
May to October (1st and 2nd quarters) is traditionally weak. That has
led to a negative contribution to results in the first half of the
year in the past, too. There are two reasons for this effect.
Firstly, sales in the Telecommunications Division are concentrated in
the second half of the financial year, and secondly, this seasonal
effect has been additionally reinforced by the newly consolidated
Sitour companies, whose business activities also have a pronounced
seasonal focus. In a number of major markets, the period from May to
October accounts for only five percent of income from advertising and
also of directly related expenditures. The result from ordinary
activities (EBT) for the first two quarters was minus TEUR 2,170.1
after minus TEUR1,045.6. The operating result (EBIT) came to minus
TEUR 2,048.8 compared with minus TEUR 1,109.6 in the same period of
the previous year. In financial 2006/2007, an EBIT of TEUR 1,043.1
and an EBT of TEUR 1,136.0 were generated from sales totaling EUR
20.8 million.

Strong performance at home and abroad Once again feratel media
technologies AG has been able to consolidate its position as a
leading developer and provider of tourism information systems and
innovative advertising platforms. With the contract for the
Neusiedler See Card, feratel is handling Austria's biggest visitor
card project with an integrated visitor registration service. The
feratel Infoterminal also put in a strong showing in the period under
report, with one in two of all orders now being delivered to other
European countries. That includes Infoterminal's recent debut in
Greece and Ireland, as well as further sales in the first two
quarters to the tourism industry in Italy, Spain, Bulgaria and
Austria. New customers were also recruited in the fields of winter
destination, outdoor and public transport advertising, including Sky
Europe, Intersport, Brenner Outlet Shop, Ready for Nature, Kästle and
many others. In addition, the feratel group once again demonstrated
its powers of innovation with the development of the web-based hotel
management software that was launched recently.

Outlook Both the general economic data and the predictions for the
tourism industry for 2008 look promising. On the basis of performance
to date within the various divisions, the Executive Board at feratel
media technologies AG is expecting a positive outcome to the
2007/2008 business year, with further improvements to all key figures
for sales and earnings. "We are confident that the targets set will
be achieved. At the present time, agreement between the budgeted
results and the actual figures confirms that the Board's expectations
for the 2007/2008 business year are realistic. In financial
2006/2007, an EBIT of TEUR 1,043.1 and an EBT of TEUR 1,136.0 were
generated from sales totaling EUR 20.8 million," says CEO Markus
Schröcksnadel.
