Earnings Forecast/3-month report
04.05.2015

Vienna/Frankfurt, 04.05.2015. C-QUADRAT Investment AG (ISIN
AT0000613005) announces the preliminary results according to IFRS for
the first quarter 2015:

· Strong increase in revenues and net profit for the period compared
to Q1/2014 · Total revenues of EUR 40.9 million (previous year: EUR
19.1 million; +113.5%) · Net profit for the period of EUR 15.4
million (previous year: EUR 3.2 million; +379.2%) · Assets under
management of approx. EUR 5.7 billion

C-QUADRAT was able to successfully continue the very positive
business development of 2014 as well in 2015 and completed the first
quarter of 2015 with total revenues of EUR 40.9 million (previous
year: EUR 19.1 million; +113.5%) and a net profit for the period of
EUR 15.4 million (previous year: EUR 3.2 million; +379.2%).
Management fees accounted for 31% of these revenues and
performance-related remuneration for 66%.

The earnings per share in Q1/2015 amount to EUR 3.48 (previous year:
EUR 0.75; +365.1%).

As per the reporting date, C-QUADRAT's assets under management
amounted to approx. EUR 5.7 billion.

The extremely positive business and earnings development in the first
quarter 2015 is, in addition to the continued increase in assets
under management and the positive stock market environment in the
first quarter, also due to the very good performance of the mutual
funds managed by the fund managers of the C- QUADRAT Group especially
of those managed by C-QUADRAT subsidiary ARTS Asset Management.

The further development in 2015 will largely depend on the further
development of the previously positive mood on the international
capital and financial markets.

The final figures for Q1/2015 will be published on 18.05.2015 in
accordance with the Financial Calendar of the Company and can be
downloaded from this date at www.c-quadrat.at in the Investor
Relations section.
