Salzburg, January 25, 2007

PALFINGER, the world market leader in truck-mounted
knuckle-boom cranes, achieved further revenue and earnings records
in the 2006 business year. The revenue growth is attributable to
strong organic growth in the core CRANES segment in Europe, as
well as to the favourable market environment and the high level of
capacity utilization achieved in all production areas.

The profitable European Cranes business was characterized in
2006 by the continuing trend towards high-performance product
classes and fittings, the excellent market position in Western
Europe, and above-average rates of growth in Eastern Europe.

Revenue compared with the same period of the previous year grew by
EUR 65.1m, or 12.5 percent, to EUR 585.2m. EBIT compared with the
prior-year period rose EUR 11.9m, or 18.2 percent, to EUR 77.0m,
equivalent to an EBIT margin of 13.2 percent.

The same general macro-economic conditions that prevailed in
2006 are anticipated to continue in 2007. During 2007, we shall
focus on securing our technological and innovative leadership on a
sustainable basis, and on lowering supply times through capacity
expansion.

The above-mentioned figures are indications from a projected
calculation based on IFRS. We shall publish the final results on
February 28, 2007.
