Hamburg (euro adhoc) - - Turnover by quarterly comparison up by 20.8%
to EUR 43.5 million - EBITDA increase of 27.4% to EUR 7.9 million -
EBIT adjusted by acquisition costs up by 22.2% to EUR 5.5 million -
376 new employees - new location with 500 jobs on Rügen - Leap in
turnover and earnings by Heycom consolidation as of mid-2007

HAMBURG. May 15, 2007. D+S europe AG (ISIN: DE0005336804), leading
solutions provider for comprehensive customer management, continued
its growth trend in the first quarter of 2007. Thus turnover
increased by 20.8% from EUR 36.0 million to EUR 43.5 million. These
figures show the mere operative growth of D+S europe AG as the Heycom
Group, whose takeover was announced at end of March, will only be
consolidated as of the middle of the year.

EBITDA rose by 27.4% from EUR 6.2 million in the previous-year period
to EUR 7.9 million in the first quarter of 2007. EBIT went up by 12%
from EUR 4.5 million in the first quarter of 2006 to EUR 5.0 million
in the period under review. It has to be taken into account that the
figures already include the costs in the amount of EUR 0.5 million
incurred for the acquisition of the Heycom Group. Without these
advance costs for the Heycom Group acquisition EBIT would have risen
by 22.2% reaching EUR 5.5 million in the first quarter of 2007.
Earnings per share were burdened by 1 cent per share due to special
expenditure incurring in the course of the Heycom acquisition in the
first quarter of the year. Adjusted EPS standing at 9 cents in the
first quarter of 2007 rose by 1 cent as opposed to the comparable
previous-year value. In the previous-year´s quarter EPS adjusted for
one-time tax capitalization amounted to 8 cents.

Thus D+S europe AG achieved its profit targets despite considerable
expenditure incurred by upsizing its workforce nationwide in the
first three months. In the past months D+S europe AG, having
concluded several large long-term contracts, has been recruiting more
than 600 additional employees in the first half of 2007, 376 in the
first quarter alone. The existing locations of D+S europe AG have
been fully utilized. In April D+S europe AG therefore decided to
establish a new location on the island of Rügen which is planned to
start operations with over 150 employees by mid-2007 and which is to
be extended to 500 employees in 2008.

With the Heycom Group takeover D+S europe AG succeeded in
skyrocketing to a leading position in the market of online
transaction management, as it did in 2005 in the field of value-added
services with the acquisition of dtms. Heycom´s initial consolidation
in mid-2007 will provide an additional growth spurt for D+S europe AG
resulting in earnings being doubled, so that the Group expects an
EBIT of over EUR 11 million for both the third and fourth quarter of
2007. These first quarter results show that D+S europe AG is on its
way to meet its 2007 targets. All in all the turnover of the current
year is expected to increase by about 45.0% from EUR 165 million in
2006 to about EUR 240 million in 2007. EBIT is expected to rise in
above average proportions by more than 75% from EUR 18.9 million in
2006 to over EUR 33 million in 2007 corresponding to an EBIT margin
of almost 14%. Earnings per share are to rise to between 50 and 55
Cent in 2007.

For 2008 D+S europe AG anticipates continuing its growth trend,
triggering another leap in earnings to over EUR 320 million together
with the first all-year consolidation of the Heycom Group. D+S europe
AG´s EBIT is expected to reach about EUR 50 million in 2008
signifying a 2.5-fold increase compared with 2006. Thus D+S europe AG
would reach its EBIT margin target of 15% for the first time in 2008.
Correspondingly earnings per share would rise to between 70 and 75
cent.

Dipl.-Ing. Achim Plate, Chairman of D+S europe AG: "D+S europe AG is
continuing its growth very dynamically, and by taking over the Heycom
Group in the first quarter of 2007 it has given the starting signal
for pushing forward into new growth regions. The great number of
large contracts of the past months clearly confirms D+S europe AG´s
positioning as full service provider. For the future we expect
further potential for improvement from our large contracts as we are
already conducting talks with some of our clients on providing
additional services from our full range of services."
