St. Georgen (euro adhoc) - St. Georgen, 9 November 2006 - GFT
Technologies AG, leading European provider of innovative IT
solutions, is continuing its positive development of the current
year. In the third quarter a solid growth of revenue and profit was
achieved compared to the previous year.

As of 30 September 2006, total revenue of the GFT Group amounted to
EUR 127.3 million. In the third quarter an increase in revenue of 12
percent to EUR 47.2 million was realised.

Earnings before tax in the third quarter totalled to EUR 2.2 million
compared to EUR 1.4 million in the previous quarter. In the first
nine months, the GFT Group therewith generated earnings before tax of
a total of EUR 4.5 million.

All segments contributed to the solid growth. The segment Resourcing
could benefit from the integration of the former Parity companies
acquired in the beginning of the year as well as from a brisk demand.
In the segment Services the projects in Brazil are to be
distinguished, which are going according to plan and will employ
additional staff. The biggest contribution to results provided, as in
previous quarters, the Spanish subsidiaries.

As of 30 September 2006, the GFT Group's balance sheet showed liquid
assets and securities of EUR 13.5 million, with no significant short
or long-term financial liabilities. The equity ratio was 52 percent.

The GFT group employed a total of 1,046 workers as of 30 September
2006 - 40 more than in the previous quarter and 47 more than at the
same point in time last year. 71 percent of the employees are working
abroad.

"The development in the current financial year meets our expectations
and has confirmed our strategy", Ulrich Dietz, Chairman of the
Executive Board of GFT Technologies AG, comments on the results.
"Given the current demand and the satisfying capacity utilisation at
all important development centres, we confirm our prospects for the
total year. We will exceed the forecast of EUR 170 million in
revenues slightly and the announced profit margin of three percent by
an estimated 20 percent."
