Unit sales: up 11 per cent, net income for the year: up 17 per cent
Dividend: 18.8 per cent increase to EUR 1.90 per share
Employees: 690 new jobs

In financial year 2005, Fielmann generated double-digit growth in
unit sales, sales and profit. Sales of glasses rose 11 per cent to
5.7 million pairs while external sales were up 10 per cent to EUR 842
million. Consolidated sales climbed 10 per cent to stand at EUR 733
million. Pre-tax profit increased 13 per cent to a forecast EUR 86
million and net income for the year was up 17 per cent to total
approx. EUR 57 million.

This result was achieved despite unfavourable market conditions. The
rest of the optical industry remains 18 per cent below the level of
2002, which was the last year before structural reform was
introduced.

As a result of this pleasing business development, the Supervisory
Board and the Management Board will recommend a dividend payment of
EUR 1.90 per share (+ 18.8 per cent) to the Annual General Meeting on
6 July 2006.

Our branches in Switzerland and Austria have contributed in
overproportional measure to the positive result. With 10 per cent of
unit sales, our branches in these countries again accounted for
approximately 30 per cent of consolidated net income for the year. We
are rapidly promoting this expansion.

Fielmann is the largest employer and offers more trainee positions
than any other company in the optical industry, employing 10,470
staff at the end of 2005, of which 1,502 are trainees. The company
created 694 new jobs in the period under review. With 5 per cent of
all specialist opticians’ stores (Fielmann: 474 branches (previous
year 463), industry as a whole: 9,900 stores), Fielmann trains 22 per
cent of optical trainees in Germany.

For 2006, Fielmann intends to achieve significant increases in unit
sale, sales and profit. The first few weeks of the current financial
year have already confirmed our positive expectations. We will open
25 new branches and create over 300 new jobs.
