Financial Figures/Balance Sheet/quarterly report
07.12.2012

Laakirchen, December 7, 2012. The strategic partner to the
international engine and automotive industry Miba AG, listed in the
standard market auction segment of Wiener Börse AG, delivered a solid
performance in the first three quarters of 2012-2013 (February 1 to
October 31). When compared to the same period last year, consolidated
sales rose by 7.5 percent to EUR 461.9 million, and EBIT (earnings
before interest and taxes) advanced 7.9 percent to EUR 54.2 million.

In the first nine months of the business year, Miba invested almost
EUR 40.0 million (previous year: EUR 34.4 million). Roughly half of
the investments were directed to Miba's locations abroad.

Even in a challenging market environment, Miba benefits from its
extensive product portfolio and its global network. The broad
positioning and targeted investments - in strategic business sectors
as well as in growth markets - safeguard Miba's competitive edge.
With all measures securing its ability to compete, Miba is building
upon a robust equity ratio of 49.2 percent, which guarantees Miba's
long-term financial independence.

As of the October 31, 2012 reporting date, Miba employed 4,185 people
(excluding leased employees) worldwide, and thus 330 more employees
than the previous year (3,855). Almost two-thirds of the growth in
workforce numbers took place at the locations in China, the USA and
Slovakia. In Austria, the workforce grew by 116 new employees.

Almost all markets of relevance to Miba are affected by declines,
especially trucks, ships, construction machinery and industrial
investment goods. The automotive industry, in which Miba generates
approximately one-third of its total sales, continued to develop at a
steady overall pace, despite the marked attenuation in Europe. The
duration and intensity of the downturn are difficult to estimate. For
the 2012-2013 business year as a whole, Miba still expects to be able
to keep up with the same level as the previous year.
