Result 2008

09.02.2009

Gleisdorf, February 9, 2009. As anticipated, Binder+Co AG´s highly
positive business development of the first nine months of 2008 was
maintained in the final quarter and as a consequence, the overall
result for the financial year expired is most satisfactory. The
company issued this information today, in a deviation from the
original financial calendar, due to the fact that the consolidated
financial statements could be completed ahead of schedule.

In 2008, Binder+Co sales amounted to EUR 73.45 million, which represented a
notable increase of 37.4% over the figure for the preceding year (2007: EUR
53.44 million). In addition, at EUR 7.20 million, EBIT was also well up on the
EUR 4.89 million achieved in 2007, and operating cash flow more than doubled to
EUR 8.27 million (2007: EUR 3.20 million).

The background to this continuing good performance was provided by the
conclusion of several large system and plant projects in all product segments
and the successes attained in new CEE and CIS markets.

As awaited, at 40.0%, return on equity (ROEEBIT) in 2008 was clearly higher than
the 34.5% of the previous year, while the equity ratio remained at a
consistently solid level of 38.4% (2007: 44.5%).

In view of these positive business developments, at the Annual
General Meeting on March 25, 2009, the Management Board will
recommend a dividend of EUR 0.64 per share for the financial year
expired. Following share dividends of EUR 0.48 for 2007 and EUR 0.32
for 2006, this again represents a sizeable increase. The intention is
that the stockholders who have accompanied Binder+Co on its path
through the past three years should participate to a reasonable
extent in the company´s steadily growing business success.

The Binder+Co AG Management Board is also continuing to implement the
programme approved by the Annual General Meeting of March 26, 2008,
for the buy-back of a maximum of 10% of company stock for the planned
stock option programme.
