Koblenz (euro adhoc) - Koblenz (Germany) - November 20, 2008: In the
first nine months of the business year 2008, CompuGROUP Holding AG
has increased its group-wide sales by 23% compared to the same
period in the previous year, while operating profit and cash flow
were at the same level as last year. Business development
activities remain at a high level, and CompuGROUP has secured its
largest contract ever in the Austrian hospital information systems
sector.

CompuGROUP continues to pursue its growth strategy.
Year-to-date revenue reached a new record high of EUR 158.2 million
compared to EUR 128.6 million in the same period last year.
Acquisitions contributed 19% to growth while organic growth was 4%.
The Koblenz-based group was able to increase its earnings before
taxes, interest, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) by EUR 1.2
million to EUR 37.1 million. This result corresponds to an EBITDA
margin of 23%.

Depreciation and amortization during the first nine months of 2008
amounted to EUR 22 million compared to EUR 16.9 million in the same
period of 2007. This increase is mostly related to acquisitions.

Earnings after tax for the reporting period were EUR 8.1 million,
which is a decrease by EUR 8.6 million compared to last year.
This change is mostly related to the increased amortizations as
well as a higher tax rate compared to the same period in 2007.

In October 2008, the Austrian CompuGROUP company Systema Human
Information Systems signed a contract for the largest IT project in
company history, in competition with worldwide renowned companies.
Systema is going to implement the new system in twelve hospitals
and eleven geriatrics centers belonging to Vienna's hospital
network (Wiener Krankenanstaltenverbund, KAV). The system, which
is part of the IMPULS KIS project, will be fully implemented in
these institutions by 2013. The net value of the contract amounts to
EUR 42 million with a total project value, including optional
proportions, of EUR 58 million.

With this contract, CompuGROUP has taken a major step to further
expand its share of the healthcare IT market. Frank Gotthardt,
Chairman of the Board of CompuGROUP Holding AG, states: "Our
diversified product portfolio for all parties involved in the
healthcare system and in social institutions enables all users to
allocate their resources more efficiently."

Outlook CompuGROUP expects regulatory changes in Germany to lead
to only a small decrease in revenue and earnings in the HCS
(Health Connectivity Services) segment for the remainder of
2008. Germany's health insurance companies continue to be
reluctant to enter into large contracts for products of the
process and decision support system sector. The slow development of
the group's EPS (Electronic Patient Services) segment affects
the group's results negatively, and this is also expected to be
reflected in the results for the remainder of 2008. In the Health
Professional Services segment (HPS I), whose business are
information systems for doctors and dentists, CompuGROUP expects
sales and earnings to exceed the results targeted for 2008. For the
rest of the year, good margins are expected in France and the Czech
Republic. Lower growth rates and margins will probably be produced
by the Turkish companies acquired in 2007.

In summary, CompuGROUP confirms its prognosis for 2008, which was
adjusted in July 2008. For the business year 2008, the group's
management board expects an EBITDA of about EUR 50 million (roughly
the same as last year), and group sales amounting to about EUR 225
million (a growth rate of 25% compared to 2007).
