SEMPERIT AG HOLDING: REVENUE AND EARNINGS INCREASE IN THE FIRST HALF
OF 2010

- Group revenue up 11.6% to EUR 330.3 million
- EBT rose by 13.6% to EUR 39.8 million

Vienna, August 10, 2010 - The order situation of the Semperit Group
during the first half-year 2010 developed significantly better than
in the particularly difficult 2009 financial year.

1-6/2009 1-6/2010 Change in %
Revenue in EUR million 296.1 330.3 +11.6
Earnings before tax (EBT) in EUR million 35.0 39.8 +13.6
Net profit for the period in EUR million 19.0 22.0 +15.7

On balance, total revenue climbed 11.6% from the prior-year period,
to EUR 330.3 million. Earnings before tax could be improved by 13.6%
to EUR 39.8 million despite the massive rise in raw material costs.
The net profit for the period of the Semperit Group amounted to EUR
22.0 million, considerably above the previous year´s level.

PERFORMANCE OF THE DIVISIONS The Sempermed division continued to
report good demand in the first half of 2010, increasing revenue by
12.6% to EUR 152.6 million. In particular, the Semperflex division
profited from the improved economic environment, expanding revenue by
29.6% to EUR 69.5 million. The Semperform division witnessed a
turnaround in the second quarter, with revenue up 6.9% to EUR 51.4
million. In the first half-year 2010, the Sempertrans division was
the only one suffering a decline in revenue, which fell 3.6% from the
previous year to EUR 56.8 million.

OUTLOOK In addition to the continued difficulties in assessing the
economic situation, the further development of raw materials prices,
which are partly at record levels at the present time, comprises the
biggest element of uncertainty. Based on the good market position in
all divisions and the ability of the company to quickly react to
changed market requirements and economic conditions, the management
of the Semperit Group continues to anticipate a satisfactory business
development for the 2010 financial year as a whole.
