Fiscal 2006/New Company Structure

02.03.2007

Hamburg-Jungheinrich AG (ISIN: DE0006219934) continued its course for
growth in the financial year that just ended and got off to a good
start in 2007. Group net sales for 2006 amounted to 1,748 million
euros-6 per cent up on the year-earlier level (1,645 million euros).
Last year, operating income (EBIT) advanced by 10 per cent to 118
million euros (prior year: 107 million). The EBIT return on sales
totalled 6.8 per cent (prior year: 6.5 per cent).

In light of Jungheinrich AG's positive business performance, the
Board of Management of Jungheinrich AG will recommend to the
Supervisory Board that a proposal to increase the dividend be
submitted at the Annual General Meeting on June 5, 2007. It will be
suggested to increase the dividend from 0.45 euros to 0.48 euros
per ordinary share and from 0.51 euros to 0.54 euros per preferred
share.

Jungheinrich will disclose detailed information on its 2006 financial
year at its balance sheet press conference on April 11, 2007, in
Hamburg, Germany.

The Board of Management plans to realign the company's structure,
which has developed over time. It aims to establish a structure
that is tailored to promoting growth and competitiveness, enabling
higher levels of transparency and flexibility. The objective is to
reorganize the Group according to company law and establish a
clear separation between Jungheinrich AG as active management
holding company with corporate functions, i.e. sales (sales and
after-sales service), engineering, finance, the service centre and
real estate on the one hand and the operating units on the other.
Units previously belonging to Jungheinrich AG are thus to be spun
out into new, autonomous limited partnerships with a stock
corporation as fully liable partner obligated to prepare a
balance sheet as defined in the German Commercial Code, bearing
the abbreviated company designation "AG & Co. KG." A measure of this
type is planned for German sales and export sales as well as the
plant and the spare parts logistics unit in Norderstedt, Germany.
The realignment will not place affected employees at a financial
disadvantage.

The new structure is scheduled to be presented to the Supervisory
Board on March 27, 2007, for approval and to the Annual General
Meeting on June 5, 2007, for adoption of the corresponding
resolution. It is slated for implementation in the current fiscal
year.
