Koblenz (euro adhoc) - CompuGROUP just ahead of target with strong
first quarter 2008 results

• Group Revenues increased by approx. 14% to EUR 47.5 million
• Group EBITDA rose 10.2%, to EUR 12.8 million
• Cash Net Income up 33.3%, to approx. EUR 9.5 million
• 2008 financial targets confirmed

Coblenz - 15 May 2008: With its first-quarter results, 2008 has started well for
Com-puGROUP. Compared with first quarter 2007, group revenues rose 13.9%, to EUR
47.5 million. Buoyed by the strong revenues and efficient overheads that
remained un-changed, the Group's EBITDA of EUR 12.8 million was 10.2% higher
than a year ago. Reported Group profits rose to EUR 5.0 million in the first
quarter of 2008, up EUR 2.1 million (or 74.6%) from first quarter 2007. Cash Net
Income surged 33.3%, to EUR 9.5 million, up from EUR 7.1 million in Q1 2007.
"These three months have enabled us to plan the foundations for the rest of the
year," said Frank Gotthardt, Chairman of the Man-agement Board of CompuGROUP
Holding AG.

In February 2008, ISPro GmbH, a Group subsidiary, entered into an
agreement with HELIOS Kliniken-Gruppen (Fresenius Health Care Group).
In the future, the 60 HELIOS Clinics will communicate with referring
general practitioners using ISPro's jesa-ja.net. This will increase
the CompuGROUP subsidiary's market share for referrer portals to over
85%.

In addition, in February the Madrid Physicians Association (ICOMEM)
awarded a con-tract to the Group's Spanish holding company Medigest
Consultores S.L. for the elec-tronic networking of more than 15,000
doctors. This project will thus lead to about a mil-lion patients
being served by "vita-X" medical records and by the CompuGROUP's
"Cor-doba" network solution.

CompuGROUP subsidiary systema Deutschland GmbH's 100% acquisitions of
fliegel data GmbH and herbert dahm datensysteme GmbH will bring about
a significant expan-sion in the Group's position on the German
hospital market. Almost every other German hospital is now using a
software product made by CompuGROUP.

Allgemeine Krankenhaus Wien (AKH), one of Austria's largest clinics,
hired Com-puGROUP subsidiary systema Human Information Systems GmbH
in March to imple-ment an on-duty shift scheduling system for its
7,000 employees. The software package that was implemented is
designed to provide massive improvements in efficiency in the
management of employee shifts.

In March, CompuGROUP subsidiary GTI AG and the Technicians Health
Insurance Fund successfully won recognition in the Financial Times
Deutschland's "Health Care Industry Idea Park" competition.
CompuGROUP's DocPortal, a knowledge platform selected by an
independent jury from among 63 entries, is thus one of the leading
innovations on the target market.

Outlook Based on the first quarter of 2008, CompuGROUP Holding AG
maintains its EBITDA ob-jective of at least EUR 65 million and Group
revenues of at least EUR 215 million for 2008.
