3-month report

26.07.2007

- Marked increase in free cash flow and liquid assets compared to
2006/07. - Large new orders, especially from German car
manufacturers, permit the expectation of order intake of almost EUR
400 million during the financial year. - Fall in new registrations
in Western Europe results in a drop in sales to EUR 76.6 million.

Krems, July 26, 2007. In a market environment, which continues to be
problematic, during the first quarter of 2007/08, Eybl International
achieved sales returns of EUR 76.6 million (preceding quarter: 79,6
Mio., Q1 2006/07: EUR 88.7 million). A fall of 1.2% in new
registrations in Western Europe during the first half of 2007 (yearly
comparison) represented a continuation of the trend of previous
years. There was a particularly marked drop in sales in the French
market of 3%, with the registrations of vehicles from French
manufacturers falling by no less than 7%.

In the first quarter of the 2007/08 financial year, Eybl
International EBIT was raised by more than 20% as compared to the
preceding quarter to EUR 1.3 million. However, this amount was still
far lower than the comparable figure for the previous year (Q1
2006/07: EUR 2.4 million). The ordinary business result amounted to
minus EUR 0.5 million, which was more than 40% up on the total for
the same period of the last financial year, while the loss for the
period was down by almost a half at minus EUR 0.4 million. The
constant strength of the self-financing capability was underlined by
EBITDA of EUR 5.7 million (Q1 2006/07: EUR 6.5 million) and as in the
preceding year, the EBITDA margin stood at 7.5%.

At EUR 4.9 million, operative cash flow was markedly higher than the
comparable value of the preceding year (EUR 1.2 million). As a result
of the focus on positive cash flow development, during the first
quarter free cash flow of EUR 22.7 million was generated (Q1 2006/07:
EUR 0.4 million). This led to an increase in liquid assets to EUR
12.4 million (Q1 2006/07: EUR 10.2 million), which was achieved in
spite of payment conduct in line with planning and additional loan
repayments,

Large new orders; first and foremost from German car manufacturers
During the first quarter of 2007, Eybl International was able to
capture several notable order intakes with a total value of almost
EUR 60 million, which when adjusted, mean a total order volume up to
today of around EUR 1 billion. The new orders include the production
of 50% of the fabrics used in the AUDI Q5, the development and
make-up of seat covers for the new VW Passat Coupé (together with the
VW subsidiary SITECH), a ski sack module for BMW made of waterproof
fabric and headliner material for the compact BMW 1. Moreover, within
just two years, Eybl International has succeeded in being represented
with advertising items in all SEAT models.

Further improvements in asset and capital structure At EUR 55
million, or 24.2% of total assets, the equity trend showed a clearly
positive tendency (Q1 2006/07: EUR 51.4 million, or 20.2%). Taking
into account the limited partnership capital of EUR 7.3 million,
which is reported as outside capital, the equity ratio now amounts to
27.4%. All in all, following the reduction of assets in the current
financial year, the assets structure is stable with a further
reduction in total assets of around EUR 4 million.

Outlook - order intake of over EUR 400 million expected during the
financial year In order to maintain and further consolidate the
position that it has established over the years as a supplier of
innovative developments to the European automotive sub-supplier
industry, Eybl International is seeking to enhance its market
strength through a strategy of systematic growth. In the 2007/08
financial year, this means an increase in the market addressed to
almost EUR 4 billion and a targeted order backlog in excess of EUR
1.1 billion. The Eybl International management anticipates that the
package of measures approved for the current financial year will lead
to an improvement in core business and an increase in return on
capital.
