2007 results

13.03.2008

Ad hoc Release pursuant to § 15 of the Securities Trading Act (WpHG)

London, 12 March 2008 - According to preliminary results, Air Berlin
has net earnings of approximately 11 million Euros for the 2007
financial year. The total revenue for 2007 is 2.54 billion Euros
(2006: 1.58 billion Euros), representing an increase of 61 percent.
EBITDAR (earnings, before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization
and rent) improved 48% from 256.5 million Euros (2006) to 379.0
million Euros. Operationally, the results for the past financial
year were affected by one-time charges in the double digit millions
resulting from the delayed LTU integration and issues associated with
the technical integration of the IT systems. An EBIT of 21.49
million Euros (2006: 64.15 million Euros) has been realized. The
expected compensation from releasing certain reserves could not be
realized. Instead of extraordinary income, the release of the
reserves is accounted without having effect on the net income. This
represents a net earning, after interest and tax, of 11 million Euros
(2006: 50.10 million Euros).

Air Berlin will publish more detailed information on its Annual
Financial Statements 2007 in the Press Conference and Analysts &
Investors Conference on 31 March 2008.
