Bad Soden, May 13th, 2009: TRIPLAN AG (ISIN: DE 0007499303) releases
the first quarter result 2009. Hereafter, the group boosts its

(previous year: 11,825 TEUR / +10.5 percent). EBIT declined from
1,127 TEUR in the period of the previous year by 28.5 percent down to
806 TEUR. The resean for the decline in EBIT is traced back mainly to
a superior first quarter 2008, that is - due to a high project
settlement - not directly comparable to the first quarter 2009. The
EBIT-margin in the amount of 6.7 percent (previous year: 10.4
percent) accords to the planning of the management board and reflects
the general going concern of the group. The net profit amounts as of
balance sheet day 760 TEUR (previous year: 887 TEUR). This answers to
an earnings per share of 0,08 EUR (previous year: 0,09 EUR). With

ratio as of March 31th 2009 is 58.6 percent after 59.3 percent to the
period of the first quarter 2008. The group cash position was as at
March 31 2009 with 5,521 TEUR lightly under the year-ago quarter of
6,168 TEUR. The decline of 10.5 percent reflects outstanding payment
transactions of customers, that can be traced back mainly to the
valuation date view March 31 2009 and the due payment date of the
customers.

Refinery/Petrochemical, Chemical/Industrial and Energy as well as the
