3-month report

Koblenz (euro adhoc) - CompuGROUP Holding AG today presented the
financial report for the first quarter of 2010. The company, one of
the leading global providers of eHealth solutions, achieved revenue
of EUR 69.3 million, an increase of 7 percent compared to the same
period of 2009. Operating profit (EBITDA) came in at EUR 12.6
million, up from EUR 11.9 million in the first quarter of 2009. Cash
net income increased from EUR 7.3 million in the first quarter 2009
to EUR 7.5 million in the first quarter 2010, corresponding to a Cash
net income per share of 15 Cent (Q1/2009: 14 Cent). The quality of
earnings is strong with an operating cash flow of EUR 31.0 million,
almost double the amount of the first quarter last year.

With this result, CompuGROUP Holding AG continues its strategy and
growth based on the greatest coverage among healthcare providers
(physicians, dentists, hospitals etc.) worldwide. In the HPS (Health
Provider Services) business segment, revenue was EUR 55.3 million
compared to EUR 47.4 million in the first quarter of 2009. This
represents an increase of 17 percent. In the HCS (Health Connectivity
Services) business segment, special market conditions affected sales
during the first quarter of 2010 resulting in revenue of EUR 13.9
million compared to EUR 16.1 million in the first quarter of 2009.

It should be noted that the first quarter results include a one-off,
non-cash, loss on sale of shares in medi cine medienproduktions GmbH
of EUR 0.5 million. Also, the business of Innomed Gesellschaft für
medizinische Softwareanwendungen GmbH, Austria, is not consolidated
for the first quarter (pro-forma figures: Revenue EUR 1.3 million,
EBITDA EUR 0.6 million). Retroactive consolidation from 01.01.2010
expected beginning with the second quarter report when transaction
closing is complete.

CompuGROUP also made further progress during the reporting period to
develop its business relationship with the health insurance funds in
Germany. A successful first implementation of the product "Smart
Exchange" was performed for one statutory health insurance company
during the first quarter. Smart Exchange is a system to safely and
systematically drive higher levels of generic substitution to save
care costs without sacrificing care quality. The two existing
diabetes management pilots, including the AV+ pilot with AOK Hessen
that has been operating since 2007, have continued unchanged during
the first three months of 2010. There is a good pipeline for
additional diabetes management contracts both in new regions and with
new health insurance companies. In total, a positive trend within
Workflow & Decision Support is expected in the coming quarters of
2010.

Frank Gotthardt, Chairman of the Board of CompuGROUP Holding AG,
stated: "Growth and profit for the first quarter this year do not
reflect the growth- power we predict for the total year 2010, but
fully comply with our internal planning for the course of the year.
Not least, the strong order booking reaffirms our expectations for
the business development in the upcoming quarters."

CompuGROUP reaffirms the guidance for 2010 presented in the Annual
Report 2009:

Revenue is expected to be in the range of EUR 315 million to EUR 330
million. Operating income (EBITDA) is expected to be in the range of
EUR 67 million to EUR 73 million.
