- Delticom publishes preliminary figures fort he first nine months of
2006 - EBIT increased by 52%

Hanover, November 16, 2006 - Delticom AG (German Securities
Code (WKN) 514680, ISIN DE0005146807, stock exchange symbol DEX)
has published its quarterly results for the first time since
going public in the Prime Standard. According to preliminary
figures, the company has been able to improve its revenues by
around 28% to EUR 108.9 million in the first nine months of the
current fiscal year compared to the same period of 2005 (Q1-Q3 2005:
EUR 85.1 million). The company recorded an above-average increase
of almost 39% to EUR 95.3 million in the key eCommerce segment.
Delticom's earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) were up by 52%
to EUR 4.1 million, compared to EUR 2.7 million last year. The net
income for the first nine months totaled EUR 2.5 million, or EUR
0.81 per share - up 50% compared to September 30, 2005 (EUR 0.54).

Sales increased faster than expenses due to the scalability of the
business model and the improved purchasing conditions. This allowed
an increase in all

key margins. For example, the gross margin at the end of September 2006
totaled 21.9% compared to 20.5% in the first nine months of last year. The
EBIT margin improved from 3.1% to 3.7%.
One key reason for the company's positive growth from January 1 to
September 30, 2006 was, in particular, the significant increase in the
customer base with the addition of around 300,000 new tire buyers in the

current fiscal year, lifting the total number of registered, active
customers to more than one million. In addition, the foreign
expansion has been consistently continued. Delticom entered
markets including Canada during third quarter, and the 60th online
store worldwide has now been opened.

The fourth quarter of the year on the tires market is
traditionally the period with the highest sales as a result of
the weather-related road conditions. The new legal requirement for
winter tires in Germany and the anticipated subsequent demand for
winter tires mean that Delticom's forecast for the fourth quarter is
positive. Delticom AG's Managing Board is confident that it will
reach revenues for the year as a whole totaling at least EUR 170
million, and that it will be able to again improve the EBIT margin
compared to these Q3 figures.

November 22, 2006 and will be available at www.delti.com.
