Hanover, July 1, 2009 - Following a favourable course of business in
the first half of the year, Delticom AG (German Securities Code WKN
514680, ISIN DE0005146807, stock market symbol DEX) increases its
guidance for the 2009 EBIT margin to 7%.

During the current recession the consumer climate has been
surprisingly robust in many parts of Western Europe so far. In the
first half-year of 2009, the European tyre trading was negatively
impacted by special effects such as scrappage schemes, but prices
remained largely stable. Delticom - Europe's largest online tyre
retailer - was able to continue its positive business progress of
recent years.

Although consumer confidence still seems to buck the economic
downturn, economists and sector experts expect that the recession
will affect tyre buyers soon. For this reason, Delticom's management
continues to guide cautiously optimistic for a 10% year-on-year
increase in revenues for 2009. In preparation for the anticipated
decline of consumer demand, Delticom has optimised distribution
channels, product offerings and margins and has implemented further
measures of cost control over the course of the last months. For the
remainder of the year, company management will continue to actively
counter macroeconomic risks. Due to the good earnings situation in
the first half of the year, Delticom´s management is raising its
earnings expectations and now forecasts an EBIT margin of 7%
(previously 6%).

Delticom AG will publish preliminary revenue figures on July 30,
2009, and complete first-half 2009 results on August 13, 2009.
