6-month report

- 30.6 % increase of half-year EBIT 2007 to EUR 11.1 million against
comparable previous-year period - Planned EBIT in business year of
2007 at least EUR 33 million with Heycom acquisition - Earnings per
share up to over EUR 1 in 2009 (2006 EUR 0.35)

HAMBURG. August 14, 2007. D+S europe AG (ISIN: DE0005336804), leading
solutions provider for integrated and value-oriented e-commerce and
customer contact management, reached another turnover and earnings
record in the second quarter of 2007. In the second quarter turnover
increased by 25.6% from EUR 38.7 million in the same quarter a year
before to EUR 48.6 million. EBIT rose over-proportionally by 52.5%
from EUR 4.0 million in the comparable period of the previous year to
EUR 6.1 million thus clearly exceeding the previously communicated
expected EBIT of EUR 5.5 million. Earnings per share rose from 8
cents in the second quarter of 2006 to 9 cents in the second quarter
of 2007.

Due to the strong operative growth in the two quarters total Group
turnover increased by 23.3% from EUR 74.7 million in the same period
of the previous year to EUR 92.1 million in the first half-year of
2007. In 2007 D+S europe AG increased its EBIT by 30.6% to EUR 11.1
million compared with EUR 8.5 million in the comparable period a year
before. Earnings per share - adjusted for one-off expenses in the
amount of 1 cent - rose to 18 cents in the first half-year of 2007.
In the first half-year of 2006 EpS adjusted for one-time tax effects
stood at 14 cents.

The 100-percent takeover of the e-commerce service provider Heycom as
of July 1, 2007 in connection with a continuing strong organic growth
will lead to another clear leap in earnings to an EBIT in the amount
of over EUR 22 million in the 2nd half of 2007. The new segment D+S
e-commerce and fulfillment will be one of the strongest future growth
drivers of the Group.

For the entire business year of 2007 D+S europe AG expects an
increase in turnover of 45% from EUR 164.8 million in 2006 to about
EUR 240 million. Moreover, the Group plans an over-proportional EBIT
increase by 75% to over EUR 33 million in 2007. Given this
development, adjusted earnings per share (EpS) will amount to between
50 and 55 cents in the current business year compared to 35 cents in
2006. The one-time, non-cash relevant decrease in earnings of about 5
cents per share in 2007 resulting from the corporate tax reform
effective from 2008 has already been taken into consideration. As of
2008 D+S europe AG will then clearly benefit from the corporate tax
reform.

For 2008, after initial full-year consolidation of the Heycom Group,
D+S europe AG anticipates a turnover of over EUR 320 million. For
2009, turnover is expected to reach more than EUR 390 million. A
further increase in EBIT of about 50% compared to 2007 to between EUR
48 and 50 million is planned for 2008. In 2009 EBIT is expected to
reach an amount of EUR 60 million. Earnings per share are expected to
rise to over 80 cents in 2008. In 2009 for the first time D+S europe
AG expects earnings per share to reach over EUR 1.00.
