Provisional numbers for 2006

16.02.2007

• EBIT margin increased from 8.7 per cent (2005) to 11.3 per cent (2006)
• Large orders confirm the 2007 prognosis with organic sales increase of
more than 25 per cent

HAMBURG, February 16, 2007. According to the provisional numbers, D+S
europe AG (ISIN: DE0005336804), leading solutions provider for
comprehensive customer management, reached record turnover and
results in the past year. The net turnover increased by 48.6 per cent
from 110.9 million euros in the previous year to 164.8 million euros.
EBITDA was able to rise by 91.6 per cent from 14.3 million euros in
the previous year to 27.4 million euros. EBIT rose by 92.7 per cent
from 9.7 million euros in the previous year to 18.7 million euros.
The EBIT margin therefore improved substantially in the previous
year, rising from 8.7 per cent to 11.3 per cent. The per share result
at a value of 35 cents resulted in unique financing expenditures of
approx. 1 million euros (approximately 3 cents per share) in
connection with the refinancing made at the end of September 2006.
With this, the company succeeded in increasing its bonded capital
program by more than approx. 50 per cent (around 25 million euros)
with an interest charge that remained virtually the same. Adjustments
for this one-time effect led to results per share rising by 81 per
cent from 21 cents in the 2005 to 38 cents in the past financial
year.

In the current financial year, D+S europe AG is expecting an organic,
company-level turnover increase of over 25 per cent. EBIT should then
add a super-proportional 40 per cent. So far, the company has worked
with the assumption of a 30 per cent EBIT increase. Purchases have
not yet been incorporated, though they are a part of the overall
strategy. In the promising area of on-line transaction management or
the increasingly lucrative field of address and collection services,
there are attractive opportunities for acquisition, and the aim is to
make an acquisition which would lead to a significant jump in
profits; thus, a company with an EBIT that is within the range of
double-digit millions is desirable. Purchases would then be financed
largely through outside capital.

Explanatory note:

The D+S mobile & telephony services division, which was first
consolidated annually following the dtms takeover in the middle of
2005, contributed 81.1 million euros, including mobileview AG, which
was only consolidated in the fourth quarter, to the company turnover.
Thus the EBIT margin for this division was increased to 14.3 per
cent, as opposed to 10.3 per cent (only dtms) in 2005. D+S europe AG
plans to increase this margin to 15-17 per cent by 2008.

For the D+S communication & dialogue technology services division,
with a turnover equalling 74.0 million euros, achieved a 5.5 per cent
margin. With numerous new large orders from telecommunications,
energy, and Internet companies, this division started off the new
year with great success, and for the first time enjoyed full
utilization of a nationwide communication centre. On this foundation,
D+S europe AG is striving to raise the margin to more than 8 per cent
this year and to 10 per cent in 2008.

The D+S of consumer information & collection services division, which
developed organically in 2006, achieved a turnover 9.7 million euros
in the past year with a margin of 31.2 per cent. Within the two years
to come, D+S europe AG is counting on a margin increase here of up to
40 per cent.
