Hannover (euro adhoc) - Hanover, 30 April 2009 - Delticom AG (WKN
514680, ISIN DE0005146807, stock market symbol DEX), Europe's leading
online tyre dealer, continued its growth path in the first quarter of
the fiscal year 2009, despite the further intensification of the
economic crisis. According to preliminary figures, the company
recorded revenues totalling EUR 51.0 million. This corresponds to an
increase of 19.8% compared with the prior-year period (EUR 42.6
million).

Ecommerce is an attractive sales channel, even in difficult economic
times. As a result, in 2009 Delticom has acquired approximately 146
thousand new customers so far, 18% more than last year. As a result,
on 31 March 2009 the customer base totalled 2.8 million customers. At
the same time, customer loyalty grew still further: 2009 no fewer
than 79 thousand repeat customers (+30%) have returned to the 102
online shops to make purchases with Delticom.

Revenues in the key eCommerce segment increased in the reporting
period by 21.4% year-on-year, from EUR 38.5 million to EUR 46.7
million. In the Wholesale division revenues were up 4.6%, from EUR
4.1 million to EUR 4.3 million.

CEO Rainer Binder: "In the tyre trade, due to the minor seasonal
weight the first quarter is no dependable proxy for the year as a
whole. On the other hand, we are of course very pleased with the
course of business over the first months of 2009. The online tyre
retailing becomes more and more attractive. As market leader,
Delticom is able to capitalize on this trend, despite difficult
economic conditions."

Delticom AG will publish its full financial statements for the first
quarter 2009 on 14 May 2009. Subject to the approval of the Annual
General Meeting on 19 May 2009, Delticom AG will pay out a dividend
of EUR 3.00 for the past fiscal year 2008, 50% more than for the
previous year.
