9-month report

29.02.2008

Krems, 29 February 2008. After the corporate statistics published an
Ad Hoc Report on 31 January 2008 with the announcement of an
estimated negative effect in the amount of EUR 27 million Eybl
International AG, a manufacturer of automotive interior parts traded
on the Vienna Stock Exchange´s prime market (ISIN: AT0000908157),
today publicly reported on the first three quarters of 2007/08:

Sales trends The ever-tougher competition conditions in the
automotive supplier industry were also reflected in Eybl
International´s sales figures for the first three quarters of its
business year. Thus this Austrian manufacturer of interior parts for
automotive interiors recorded a 15% drop in sales to EUR 216.7
million after EUR 253.3 million in the first nine months of
2006/2007.

Broken down by technologies it turns out that in particular the
fabrication technology division was affected by this trend in the
first three quarters of the current business year. Fabrication
technology did admittedly contribute by far the largest component in
total sales with EUR 135.2 million in the first three quarters of
2007/2008 but with a sales drop of almost 20% on the comparable
period last year (EUR 168.5 million) it remained significantly below
expectations. The textile production division also recorded a fall in
sales by about 10% to EUR 52.3 million (comparable period in 2006/07:
EUR 57.0 million).

More satisfactory was the way the interiors technology division
performed with sales in the first nine months of the current year
that were successfully raised by 5% to EUR 29.2 million (comparable
period in 2006/07: EUR 27.8 million).

Profitability and earnings position The persistently strong cost
squeeze on the automotive supplier industry as well as the clearly
visible drop in sales at Eybl International weighed down the earnings
figures for the first nine months. For instance, the sales drop alone
impacted on EBIT by about EUR 7.8 million in the first nine months of
2007/08. Taking situation-dictated precautions into account, the
cumulative earnings results (EBIT) were at EUR -3.7 million after the
first nine months compared with EUR 6.3 million in the first nine
months of 2006/07.

EBITDA in the first three quarters of the current business year
reached EUR 9.7 million after EUR 17.2 million in the first nine
months of 2006/07 while the EBITDA margin was concomitantly reduced
from 6.8% to 4.5% from the comparable period of last year.

As of the closing date of 31 December 2007 Eybl International thus
posted a deficit in the magnitude of EUR 9.9 million for the period
(comparable period in 2006/07: EUR 3.3 million surplus for the
period).

Financial position Cash flow from financial results came to EUR 3.2
million in the first three quarters of the current business year and
was below last year´s EUR 13.8m by EUR 10.6 million.

Liquid funds doubled in the same period from EUR 8.2 million to EUR
16.7 million.

Structure of assets and capital At EUR 230.8 million as of the
closing date of 31 December 2007 total assets were at the level of 31
March 2007 (EUR 232.9 million).

As of 31 December 2007 equity reached EUR 41.9 million or 18.1% of
total assets and was thus about EUR 12.1 million below the comparison
figure on 31 March 2007.

This drop was due to a loss in the amount of EUR 9.9 million,
negative foreign currency differences of EUR 1.5 million and a
dividend payment of EUR 0.7 million.
