Wien (euro adhoc) - Vienna / Frankfurt, 18 May 2009. C-QUADRAT
Investment AG (ISIN AT0000613005) ended the first quarter with a
gross income of EUR 6.4 million (Q1 2008: EUR 9.9 million), an EBT of
EUR - 0.2 million (Q1 2008: EUR 2.3 million), and a net result of EUR
- 0.2 million (Q1 2008: EUR 1.9 million). In the 1st quarter of 2009,
total income from performance fees fell by EUR 0.121 million (-
95.8%) to EUR 0.005 million (Q1 2008: EUR 0.126 million). The sale of
the Absolute Plus Group at the end of 2008 resulted in a
discontinuation of income from this business segment in the amount of
EUR 1.9 million, and in a reduction of depreciation and impairment
losses by EUR 0.4 million. At the same time, contrary to the
prevailing trend in the industry, management fee income remained
essentially stable due to increased volume in the Asset Management
segment (Q1 2009: EUR 4.6 million, Q1 2008: EUR 4.9 million). At EUR
1.6 million, personnel expenses were 17.5% lower than in the
corresponding quarter of the previous year (EUR 1.9 million).
Remaining expenses were 21% lower than in the previous year (Q1 2009:
EUR 1.3 million, Q1 2008: EUR 1.7 million).

On the subject of C-QUADRAT's quarterly results, Alexander Schütz,
one of the founders and a Director of C-QUADRAT, stated: "The company
has undergone a consolidation process which was completed by the end
of the 1st quarter. The implemented cost-saving programmes are
bearing fruit. Despite the negative market environment, we have
continued to invest in sales and marketing so that our growth in the
future will be supported by an even broader base."
