quaterly report

24.04.2008

The Supervisory and Management Boards of Fielmann AG will recommend
payment of a dividend of EUR 1.40 per share, which is up on the
previous year´s dividend of EUR 1.20 (+ 16.7 per cent), to the Annual
General Meeting to be held on 10 July 2008. The total sum paid out
will amount to EUR 58.8 million, with earnings per share for the year
2007 as a whole rising 14.6 per cent to EUR 1.88.

At its last session on 17 April 2008, the Supervisory Board of
Fielmann AG approved the annual and consolidated accounts for
financial year 2007. The market leader sold 6.0 million pairs of
glasses (previous year: 5.8 million), achieved external sales of EUR
984.4 million (previous year: EUR 913.4 million) and consolidated
sales of EUR 839.2 million (previous year: EUR 792.9 million).
Pre-tax profits rose to EUR136.3 million (+ 27.5 per cent), while net
income for the year totalled EUR 82.0 million (+ 14.3 per cent).
Amongst others, included in the pre-tax profits is a sum amounting to
EUR 10 million, which reflects the results of the German Social Court
(Bundessozialgericht) ruling made in September 2007 concerning the
date on which the health reform act came into effect. The statutory
health insurance companies settle our claims from financial year 2004

Our expectations for the first quarter of financial year 2008 have
been met, with sales of 1.5 million spectacles, external sales
totalling EUR 258.9 million, consolidated sales of EUR 218.3 million,
pre-tax profit amounting to EUR 38.7 million (+ 31.8 per cent) and
net income for the year rising to EUR 27.1 million (+ 53.6 per cent).
The disproportionately high rise in the pre-tax profit is
attributable to lower advertising costs and a higher share of
varifocals sold. With the rate of tax reduced from 39.8 per cent to
29.9 per cent, the corporation tax reforms introduced have had a
positive effect on the tax liability applying to the profit for the
quarter.

For 2008, Fielmann is planning a further increase in unit sales,
sales and profits, adjusted by one-off extraordinary health insurance
back-payments. For the year overall, we intend to open 30 new
branches with the creation of more than 400 new jobs.
