SinnerSchrader ended the 2011/2012 financial year (1 September 2011
to 31 August 2012) with net revenue of EUR 36.0 million and an
operating result (EBITA) of EUR 1.6 million. With these figures,
SinnerSchrader confirms the preliminary figures published on 18
October 2012.

SinnerSchrader's net income amounted to just under EUR 0.2 million in
2011/2012. Due to write-offs on the goodwill of the acquisition of
the newtention technologies GmbH in 2009 of about EUR 0.4 million,
net income ranges at the lower end of the guidance in the preliminary
figures issued in mid-October. The write-offs became necessary after
therepositioning of newtention as NEXT AUDIENCE towards the thriving
segment of audience management and due to the anticipated initial
losses for implementation of the repositioning.

With a growth rate of 16.4 per cent in 2011/2012, in comparison to
the previous year, SinnerSchrader expanded its business slightly more
than planned. New clients, among them the Holy Fashion Group,
Karstadt, Stage Entertainment, and Dole, contributed EUR 3.4 million
or 11 percentage points to this growth. The business with existing
clients grew by EUR 1.6 million.

With respect to earnings, SinnerSchrader fell significantly short of
its goals, the major reasons being overcapacity at the spot-media
Agency after two major clients had noticeably reduced the services
commissioned, a considerable overrunning of costs in one fixed-price
project at the SinnerSchrader agency, and the repositioning of NEXT
AUDIENCE.

For the financial year 2012/2013, SinnerSchrader anticipates unabated
demand for its digital services and expects two-digit net revenue
growth to more than EUR 40 million. The decision by SKODA in July
2012 to make SinnerSchrader its global digital lead agency
substantiates these expectations. This growth in revenues should also
result in noticeable earnings improvements. SinnerSchrader expects
all business units except NEXT AUDIENCE to generate a total EBITA of
more than EUR 3.5 million in 2012/2013. Initial costs for the
establishment of NEXT AUDIENCE's audience management system -
selected for the SAP HANA Technology Accelerator Program in September
- will, however, range between EUR 1.5 and 1.8 million.
SinnerSchrader thus plans for Group EBITA to exceed EUR 2.0 million
in the 2012/2013 financial year. Net income should reach at least EUR
0.7 million.

Given the weak earnings in the 2011/2012 financial year and expected
considerable investments in the audience management business, the
Management Board and the Supervisory Board decided against a dividend
for 2011/2012.
