. Group revenues up by 47% to EUR 1.6 billion
. Increases in all major indicators
EBITDA up 58%
EBIT up 69%
EBT up 84%
. Continued growth planned for 2007

Vienna, 19 February 2007. A-TEC Industries AG (ISIN
AT00000ATEC9), the international industrial group, recently listed
on the Vienna Stock Exchange. With the publication of its
preliminary results for financial 2006, it has now given an
impressive demonstration of its ongoing successful performance.

Based on the preliminary figures, its published financial
indicators show a marked improvement over 2005. Consolidated
revenues for 2006 have reached EUR 1.594 bn, 47.1% higher than
in 2005 (EUR 1.084 bn). Earnings indicators have also improved
significantly: earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and
amortisation (EBITDA), at EUR 125.8m, were 58.4% higher than last
year's EUR 79.4m, while earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) of
EUR 93.4m topped 2005's EUR 55.0m by 69.9%. A-TEC Industries'
earnings before tax (EBT) has also jumped - by 84.0%, from EUR
43.0m to EUR 79.1m. The Group's success is reflected in the
price of its stock, which has climbed by some 40% since first
listing.

Plant engineering - Austrian Energy & Environment

In 2006 Austrian Energy & Environment, the Group's plant engineering
business, was successful in winning numerous major international
contracts totalling EUR 1.228 bn, so that at the year end its
order book stood at a record EUR 1.453 bn. The AE&E Group's
sales and earnings figures also grew impressively in the
last 12 months. Revenues were up 38.3%, from EUR 443.3m to EUR
613.1m, EBITDA came out at EUR 30.9m, 13.2% higher than in the
previous year (EUR 27.3m), and EBIT climbed from EUR 23.1m to EUR
26.3m. At EUR 31.6m, EBT was 37.5% up on the comparable figure for
last year (EUR 23.0m).

Drive systems - ATB Austria Antriebstechnik

ATB Austria Antriebstechnik AG, which is also stock exchange
listed and is responsible for drive systems, posted greatly
increased revenues of EUR 304.5m, a 44.2% improvement on 2005's
EUR 211.1m, an achievement all the more impressive given the
strained situation in global commodities markets. It has
strengthened its market presence and secured an entry to several
important new markets. The integration of its Serbian company and
the acquisition in the first half of 2006 of a majority interest
in the Singapore-based Lindeteves- Jacoberg Group has however
acted as a damper on drive systems earnings. The preliminary
figures reveal that although ATB Group's EBITDA has risen by 76.7%
to EUR 25.8m (2005: EUR 14.6m) and its EBIT by 48.6% to EUR
9.3m (2005: EUR 6.3m), its EBT fell back to EUR -0.9m (2005: EUR
1.1m).

Machine Tools - EMCO

EMCO Group's machine tool business has an ambitious product
strategy: its acquisition of Italian market leader FAMUP and
technology provider MECOF, combined with its very active
development department, have turned it into a full-line supplier
and allowed it to boost revenues by a satisfactory 36.9%. After
sales of EUR 124.7m in 2005, the Group's preliminary figures for
2006 show a record EUR 170.8m, which is primarily the result of its
expanded market share in Germany. The performance indicators are
even more impressive than the revenue, and well above the levels
achieved elsewhere in the industry. EBITDA grew by 76.5% to EUR
21.7m (2005: EUR 12.3m), EBIT by 162.7% to EUR 15.5m (2005:
EUR 5,9m) and EBT by 326.7% to EUR 12.8m (2005: EUR 3.0m).

Metallurgy - Montanwerke Brixlegg

In 2006 Montanwerke Brixlegg benefited from the strong growth in
demand for copper worldwide, as the preliminary results show:
revenues were up 65.1%, from EUR 306.5m to a record EUR 506.1m. Its
already respectable earnings measures also improved, with EBITDA
reaching EUR 48.2m, 86.0% up on the EUR 25.9m achieved in 2005.
Both EBIT and EBT also grew strongly, to EUR 43.2m and EUR
40.2m respectively, after EUR 21.1m and EUR 18.6m in 2005.

In the light of the overall economic situation, the Management
Board is currently optimistic about the prospects for 2007, and is
looking forward to further increases in revenue of roughly
EUR 2 bn and a corresponding improvement in earnings. As
announced at the time of the IPO, A-TEC Industries is constantly on
the look out for potential acquisitions that can sensibly be added
to the existing businesses.
