Hanover (euro adhoc) - 14 May 2009 - Delticom AG (German Securities
Code WKN 514680, ISIN DE0005146807, stock market symbol DEX),
Europe's leading Internet tyre retailer, published its full report
for the first three months of 2009 today.

During the first three months of the current fiscal year, the company
increased its revenues by 19.8% to EUR 51 million (Q1 08: EUR 42.6
million). Quarterly revenues in the eCommerce segment were up by
21.4% to EUR 46.7 million (Q1 08: EUR 38.5 million). Revenues in the
Wholesale segment came in at EUR 4.3 million (Q1 08: EUR 4.1
million). The company´s profitability has improved significantly
since the previous year: EBIT rose to EUR 2.6 million (Q1 08: EUR 0.5
million). The EBIT margin amounted to 5.2% for the first quarter.
With consolidated net income of EUR 1.9 million (previous year: EUR
0.5 million), Delticom continues to chart its profitable growth path
of recent years, also under increasingly challenging macroeconomic
conditions.

"We can certainly be pleased with the first quarter," commented
Rainer Binder, CEO of Delticom AG, before going on to add: "For tyre
dealers, the first quarter nevertheless plays a somewhat less
important role due to its relatively low seasonal weight. Even so, we
see a trend: More and more tyres are bought online. In the current
economic situation across Europe, a rising number of consumers are
discovering favourably priced purchasing opportunities on the
Internet."

The recently published ADAC report "Reifenmonitor 2009" documents
that drivers are definitely inclined towards buying their tyres
online. Among the survey participants, 15% could well imagine buying
their tyres on the Internet in the future. Only 4.9% (previous year:
3.1%) of the drivers polled had already purchased tyres online. These
figures clearly indicate sufficient growth potential for the next few
years. Delticom, as a market leader with over 100 online shops across
the whole of Europe and the USA, is well positioned to continue to
benefit from the underlying growth.

This year's Ordinary Annual General Meeting of Delticom AG will be
held on Tuesday, 19 May 2009 in the Börsensaal of BÖAG Börsen AG in
Hanover. On this occasion, the Management and Supervisory boards of
Delticom AG will propose a dividend of EUR 3.00 for the 2008
financial year elapsed.
