quarterly report

Koblenz (euro adhoc) - With revenues of almost 300 million euros
(294.2)and earnings before taxes, depreciation and amortization
(EBITDA) of almost 60 million euros (59.1), the Koblenz-based
CompuGROUP Holding AG, who specializes in the healthcare information
technology sector (HIT), again achieved record results, despite the
worldwide economic crisis in 2009.

"I am proud of the progress of our company and the performance of our
employees," said Frank Gotthardt, Founder and Chief Executive
Officer. "The progress we have made, in particular during the past
two quarters, demonstrates that we are successfully managing and
continuing our growth by focusing on our core business. This inspires
all of us for 2010." With approximately 2,800 employees in 18
different countries, CompuGROUP develops intelligent software for
private practice physicians, dentists, hospitals and consumers, as
well as the most effective and most secure connectivity solutions for
all participants in the healthcare system.

In Germany alone, approximately one out of two private practice
physicians uses CompuGROUP systems and there are approximately
326,000 users worldwide. In addition, intelligent CompuGROUP products
utilize this extensive coverage to support physicians and treatment
teams in finding even better diagnostic and treatment options for
their patients during their daily clinical routine. This is an
innovative product and solution spectrum with enormous potential for
further development. In the fourth quarter of 2009, this amounted to
revenue of 84.4 million euros. This is an increase of 19% compared to
the same period last year. Christian Teig, CompuGROUP CFO, could also
announce an increase of 46% to 17.9 million euros in fourth quarter
operating profit. "We were able to expand our position as a market
leader in many sectors, in a difficult economic environment. For our
shareholders, this translates to a cash net income of 0.74 euros per
share for 2009. Not many companies are able to present such a result
to their shareholders during these tough economic times. We take
great pride in that."

CompuGROUP expects revenue between 315 and 330 million euros for 2010
and operating profit (EBITDA) between 67 and 73 million euros. Aside
from the company´s ambitious growth goals, Frank Gotthardt sees a
particular potential for savings in the healthcare system, which
could be achieved through increased efficiency with the use of
CompuGROUP products. "We are going on the assumption that "more
health" and "more efficiency" can be achieved in this area with the
use of our software solutions. These effects could be in the range of
as much as 15% of all healthcare spending. Since the patients feel
better as a result, one could also argue: More health - fewer
expenses. We are working toward this goal so we can participate in
these improvements, achieved through our solutions for medical
workflow and decision support. That is my vision - and not just for
2010."

management board of CompuGROUP Holding AG will go through the Q4
