Nuremberg, August 10, 2006: The TA Triumph-Adler Group increased
sales in the first six months of fiscal year 2006 by 3.2 % to EUR
174.3 million, after generating EUR 168.9 million in the same period
of the previous year. At EUR 86.7 million, sales in the traditionally
weaker second quarter were 4.3 % up on the previous year’s quarter,
and were only around EUR 0.9 million below those of the first
quarter.

The company, which specializes in document business efficiency,
generated an operating result (EBIT) of EUR 6.3 million. This figure
includes a valuation adjustment of EUR 1.9 million for a claim
against a guarantee insurer. At its Annual General Meeting the
company had already reported on the pending legal dispute, which has
now been settled out of court quicker than expected and with a better
outcome than planned. The operating result (EBIT) for the previous
year’s reporting period was burdened by a write-down for a silent
participation and amounted to EUR 2.5 million.

The half-year result before minority interests improved by EUR 2.4
million to give what is now a net loss for the quarter of EUR 0.3
million. The company is keeping firmly to its targets for the year of
generating net income in the lower single-digit millions on moderate
sales growth. In this respect TA Triumph-Adler makes reference in its
current quarterly report to areas such as the continuing growth of
market penetration by TOM (its analysis and consulting approach),
strong growth in the sales of printers and very good market
acceptance of the new generation of color devices that is now
available.

The balance sheet total came to EUR 427.9 million on June 30, 2006,
and was therefore 1.4 percent above the figure of EUR 422.1 million
on December 31, 2005. The increase in the balance sheet total was
primarily due to an increase in receivables and liabilities from
financial leasing which resulted from broadening the refinancing
volume via sale-and-leaseback. The equity ratio is stable at a solid
11 %. The net cash provided by operating activities came to EUR 18.2
million in the first half of the year following a net cash used for
operating activities of EUR 2.4 million in the same period the
previous year. As of June 30, 2006, TA Triumph-Adler had liquid funds
of EUR 13.6 million at its disposal following EUR 13.2 million at the
end of fiscal year 2005.

On June 30, 2006, there were 1,472 employees in the group (previous
year: 1,497 employees).
