For the Munich-based Data Modul AG, the European market leader in the field of

display technology, the first quarter of 2012 proved to be a good
start into the new fiscal year for Data Modul.

Compared to the same quarter of the previous year, revenue increased
to 35.8 million euros. There was also a positive trend in the volume
of orders, with an increase of 10.4% over the first quarter of last
year to 45.8 million euros. The continued positive mood in Germany,
our main market, as well as the upward trend at our successful
foreign subsidiaries determined this development. Thus, we have
achieved our most important goal of delivering consistently positive
results. EBIT for the first quarter of the current year is 2.1
million euros (2011: 2.1 million euros). In the first quarter, net
income increased by 7.1% to 1.5 million euros, translating to
earnings per share of 0.43 euros (based on a total number of shares
of 3,518,602) (2011: 0.39 euros).
