quarterly report

Hanover (euro adhoc) - 08 November 2012 - Delticom (German Securities
Code (WKN) 514680, ISIN DE0005146807, stock market symbol DEX),
Europe's leading online tyre dealer, has published its 9-monthly
report 2012 today. In a troubled market environment the company
recognised revenues of EUR 280.4 million in 9M 12, a minus of 5.8 %
year-on-year.

Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) decreased in the reporting
period by 37.9 % to EUR 17.5 million (9M 11: EUR 28.2 million),
primarily due to higher fix costs. This translates into an EBIT
margin (EBIT in percent of revenues) of 6.2 % (9M 11: 9.5 %). Third
quarter EBIT saw a decline of 55.0 %, from prior-year's EUR 9.5
million to EUR 4.3 million. The quarterly EBIT margin was 4.9 % (Q3
11: 9.5 %).

Consolidated net income totalled EUR 11.7 million after EUR 19.0
million in 9M 11. This corresponds to earnings per share (EPS) of EUR
0.99 (undiluted, 9M 11: EUR 1.60), a decline of 38.4 %.

Since the beginning of the year, working capital came down by EUR
21.5 million or 48.4 % to EUR 22.9 million (31.12.2011: EUR 44.4
million). In the corresponding prior-year period the increase in
working capital value had amounted to EUR 40.7 million. In light of
the positive development in net working capital the cash flow from
ordinary business activities (operating cash flow) for the period
under review was significantly better than last year, at EUR 29.7
million (9M 11: EUR -26.0 million).

Business in the first nine months fell short of expectations. While
last year's winter tyre season benefitted from an early start, this
year the winter tyre business has so far been relatively sluggish.
Despite good demand for winter tyres in some European countries,
Management does not expect the company to exceed annual prior-year
revenues in 2012. Due to the challenging market environment Delticom
has scaled back its EBIT goal for the current financial year to 7 % -
8 %.

Relations" area.
