Positive EBIT and a confident forecast for Q4

With a positive operational result and increased gross margin, S&T
again resumed its path to success in the third quarter. For the
fourth quarter S&T expects the recent restructurings together with
the stabilization of the order situation to become visible in the
bottom line.

"The full effects of our restructuring became clearly evident in the
last quarter. Despite the costs for the ongoing re-organizational
measures, we were still able to increase our EBIT slightly to 0.14
million euros," comments Christian Rosner, CEO S&T AG, with regard to
developments during recent months. Compared to the same period in the
previous year, staff costs had to be reduced by almost 20 % and other
operating expenses by even 25 % in order to adapt to the prevailing
market conditions. The latest sales figures are as follows: sales of
92.1 million euros during Q3 2009 correspond to a decrease of almost
25 percent (from 122.7 million euros in Q3 2008) in line with this
year´s over-all trend in the IT sector. Sales during the first nine
months of 2009 reached 283.1 million euros, 19.9 % less than the
figure for the same period in 2008 (353.5 million euros).

Different results in the individual fields of business and national
markets Due to its long-term service contracts, Managed Services (MS)
has also currently demonstrated stable development - sales in this
area remained constant in Q3 at 25.7 million euros. The fields of
Business Solutions (BS) and Enterprise Systems (ES) have again been
affected by the recession in Q3 2009 and have each suffered declines
in demand of around 30 % (ES) and 32 % (BS), although the earnings
trend in the ES area and especially in MS was very satisfactory in
many countries under the economic circumstances.

Restructuring in Japan is also going to affect figures for the last
quarter 2009, although positive results are expected again in Japan
by Q1 2010. In China S&T is currently preparing the partial disposal
of its subsidiary, an LOI has already been signed. The Company will
keep its presence in the Chinese market as a minority shareholder in
a joint-venture.

Business outlook Taking into account the group´s traditionally strong
performance in Q4, the management board is forecasting total sales of
415 - 425 million euros and EBIT of approximately 4 million euros for
the year 2009. Following a year of consolidation, the clear focus
will again be on sales and marketing in 2010. In addition and as
already announced, S&T will continue to actively pursue strategic
acquisitions.
