PALFINGER continued its successful performance in the third quarter
of 2006. Compared to the same previous-year period, revenue increased
by 13.3 percent to EUR 437.2m in the first nine months, and EBIT rose
from EUR 52.6m to EUR 59.3m, equivalent to an EBIT margin of 13.6
percent.

With consolidated net profit for the period of EUR 41.8m (Q1-Q3
2005: EUR 37.6m), earnings per share reached EUR 4.74. The company's
equity ratio rose to 57.1 percent at balance sheet date.

The segment EUROPA and REST of the WORLD remains the strongest
segment. In the segment NORTH and SOUTH AMERICA, revenue rose by
16.9 percent from EUR 47.8m in the previous-year period to EUR
55.9m.

The CRANES segment is still marked by demand for higher performance
classes and high-grade fittings. Sales development of EPSILON in
Europe was also highly positive. In the HYDRAULIC SYSTEMS and
SERVICES segment, revenue increased from EUR 109.5m by 17.1 percent
to EUR 128.3m compared to the previous-year period. There was a
slight increase in EBIT to EUR -3.7 m. (Q1-Q3 2005: EUR -3.8m).

Based on the positive developments of the first three quarters, we
anticipate reaching our target of sustained, profitable growth for
the 2006 financial year.
