preliminary figures

22.05.2007

- as predicted, sales of EUR 332 million slightly decreased
- EBIT impacted by weak calls in the fourth quarter

Krems, May 21, 2007. The pressure on the European vehicle
manufacturers and particularly on the supplying industry has still
increased in the past business year 2006/07. To face this difficult
market environment, Eybl International strives for a continuous and
proactive increase in value creation.

As a result, in the business year 2006/07, Eybl International could
sustainably secure and in certain areas could even expand its
positioning as innovation supplier - especially for the German
premium brands.

However, the fourth quarter of the past financial year was clearly
marked by the weak customer demand in the European key markets.

This difficult situation was most noticeable in the French automotive
market: the partly drastically decrease in sales volumes of
individual orders could only be compensated to a limited extent by
new orders. The result (EBIT of EUR 7.4 million) is directly affected
by these noticeable cost reduction programs of the automobile
manufacturers.

Due to the currency related interdependence between Austria and
Hungary within the Group, the Forint is Eybl International´s main
foreign currency. The strongly fluctuating exchange rate of the
Hungarian Forint constitutes a further strain on the result.

To be able to achieve the strategic target of the sustainable
earnings increase, Eybl International pursues clearly defined cost
improvement programs to raise the flexibility in the order fulfilment
process and a further increase in its business initiation and
acquisition competence.

The total order entry amounted to EUR 311 million. Particularly in
the field of technical textiles, Eybl International could prove its
excellent market positioning. Among others, new orders for the VW
models Golf and Seat Leon as well as for the Ford Fiesta are produced
in the weaving centre in Krems / Lower Austria. In addition, the
excellent co-operation with the German car manufacturers of the
premium classes was underlined by several customised orders for BMW,
Audi and VW.

"In the past business year, the situation in the automotive market
remained basically unchanged. Operating losses, particularly of
system responsible suppliers show their impact on the result of Eybl
International. Thus, in the future, we will increasingly rely on a
well-directed expansion of our value chain and on a process
optimisation of production." comments Johannes Elsner, CEO of Eybl
International AG on the preliminary result.

Eybl International will publish and comment upon the final figures
for the business year 2006/07 on June 27, 2007 in the context of the
press conference on the financial statements.
