quarterly report

10.02.2010

Preliminary results of the business year 2009 and Q4 2009:

• Significant restructuring measures and new organizational structure
realized • Cost basis for 2010 considerably optimized, risks reduced
• Preliminary results for FY 2009: Sales EUR 412 million* (2008: 502
million*, - 18%), EBIT EUR 0,3 million* • Preliminary results for Q4
2009: Sales EUR 129 million*, EBIT EUR 1.6 million* • Results
burdened by devaluations of CEE currencies important to S&T • Initial
successes in Q3 and significant improvement in Q4 earnings confirm
cautiously positive assessment for 2010

The first half-year 2009 showed that S&T was particularly hard hit by
the difficult market developments due to its industry focus (e.g.
automotive and machine industry) and geographical focus (CEE). Budget
cuts and project delays by customers negatively impacted consulting
services. This was largely compensated by a group-wide cost reduction
drive, without correspondingly slashing service quality or expertise.
The infrastructure service and outsourcing business have largely
remained stable and sustainably profitable.

S&T generated preliminary sales of EUR 412 million* in 2009 and
anticipates a positive EBIT of EUR 0.3 million*. These results
basically correspond to the latest company outlook. The sales decline
is largely due to risk-oriented project selection and (compared to
non-restated 2008 results) to the divestments in China, Russia and
Turkey. S&T maintains its presence in Russia and China based on
strategic partnerships and minority shareholdings. On December 31,
2009 the Group employed ca. 2600 members of staff.

Business strategy and sales offensive The strong service component
(again ca. one-half of total sales) significantly contributed to
stability in revenues and profit, especially in Managed Services and
Outsourcing. Margins in new customer business remained low. S&T is
moving to counteract this situation with an increasingly offensive
sales strategy in 2010, and already began in Q3 to expand its sales
efforts across all countries and business units.

Q4 2009 business development Only insignificant restructuring
measures were taken in Q4, most notably in Japan. The Group achieved
total sales of EUR 129 million* (Q4 2008: 149 million*), generating
an EBIT of EUR 1.6 million* (Q4 2008: 5.5 million*).

Summary and outlook Despite the important measures in 2009, S&T
succeeded in expanding its product and service quality and further
intensifying its long-term strategic orientation. The cost structure
for 2010 was significantly improved, sales and marketing activities
were expanded. Management board believes that S&T is well-positioned
for the future, while the visibility of the market remains difficult.
The order situation is assessed as cautiously positive.

*Note: All figures contained in this announcement represent
preliminary, unaudited figures. Due to the closing of the subsidiary
in Turkey, the conversion of the company´s business operations in
Russia into a cooperation agreement with a minority shareholding, and
the ongoing sale of the subsidiary in China, the previous activities
in these markets will be reported as discontinued operations in
accordance with the stipulations of IFRS 5. The comparable figures
for 2008 are correspondingly adapted.
