Hamburg (euro adhoc) - Hamburg - The executive board and the
supervisory board of Thielert Aktiengesellschaft published the final
results for the business year 2006 today in coordination with the
auditor BDO Deutsche Warentreuhand AG. The figures published on 13
April 2007 have been confirmed in general. Thielert AG posted an
increase in sales of 59.5 percent to EUR 59.9 million. The operating
profit (EBIT) is presently at EUR 9.3 million and thus 29.6 percent
above that of the year before. The EBT fell by 14.6 percent to EUR
7.8 million. The net profit was EUR 5.2 million (minus 31.8 percent).
BDO has finished the audit at Thielert´s site and has confirmed the
final result. Now only the audit report has to be finalized and the
presentation for the supervisory board has to be done.

The drop in earnings can be attributed to the complete discounting of
old accounts receivable of EUR 3.05 million, which were the object of
some public criticism. Moreover, the sales revenues from development
services in combined development and series delivery contracts is no
longer being attributed to net income.

Divisional reporting

In 2006, the Aircraft Engines Division made a contribution of EUR
31.5 million to overall earnings, an increase of 41.6 percent
compared to the previous year. The earnings before interest, tax,
depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) fell slightly in the reporting
year by 1.8 percent to EUR 9.4 million. The operating profit (EBIT)
in this segment was EUR 7.1 million and thus 8.9 percent below that
of the previous value.

percent, to EUR 28.5 million. This is where the acquisition of the
new subsidiary Superior Air Parts, Inc. made its presence felt. The

year. The EBIT was EUR 2.2 million (minus 59,6 percent).

size even including the personnel of Superior Air Parts was moderate.
In the end of 2006, Thielert employed 320 employees, 30 percent more
than in the previous year.

Outlook

The foundation for solid growth in the coming years has been laid in
the business year 2006. Production capacity has been significantly
extended and rationalized at all company locations. With the
CENTURION 2.0 and 4.0, two highly-developed engines are in series
production. Over 1800 model and installation licenses mean that 60
percent of the total market (replacement engines and equipment of new
aircraft) can now be certified. Right now over 40 percent of
currently produced new aircraft are covered with certifications.

"We have every reason to look with confidence into the future, as we
now have the customer base for further growth," said Frank Thielert,
CEO and founder of Thielert AG. Thielert is projecting sustained
growth in sales of over 50 percent annually. Thielert can also
discern a positive trend in the profit situation for the ongoing
business year.
