annual report

26.06.2007

Krems a. d. Donau, June 27, 2007. In spite of a difficult market
situation, Eybl International AG, which manufactures components for
automotive interiors and is listed on the Vienna Stock Exchange, was
able to achieve important corporate targets during the past 2006/07
financial year.

Eybl attained sales of EUR 332.8 million, which were roughly 3.6% down on the
comparable figure for the preceding year (2005/06: EUR 345.3 million). The
breakdown of sales by technology mirrors Eybl International´s good positioning
in the technical textiles market with around 23.5% of total sales emanating from
this segment. The weaving competence centres in Krems and Gmünd played an
especially important role in this regard. Eybl Inter¬national´s earnings
situation in the financial year expired was influenced by stagnating car sales
and the related, massive pressure on the subsupplier industry, as well as the
wildly fluctuating exchange rate of the Hungarian forint (negative impact of EUR
2.3 million). EBIT in the past financial year amounted to EUR 7.4 million, which
was lower than the EUR 10.4 million of the preceding year.

Marked improvement in cash flow. The solid increase in operating cash flow to
EUR 17.6 million (2005/06: EUR 4.7 million) can largely be traced to
improvements in the operative process. Free cash flow was clearly positive at
EUR 27 million and the surplus obtained was employed to reduce financial
liabilities. As a result of this positive development, at tomorrow´s AGM, the
Managing Board will propose the payment of a dividend per share of EUR 0.20.

At 2.2%, the EBIT margin was below that of the previous year (2005/06: 3.0%),
while the profit for the 2006/07 financial year stood at EUR 1.5 million
(2005/06: EUR 6.3 million). As a result of a reduction in current assets, total
assets on the reporting date fell from EUR 258.8 million (March 31, 2006) to EUR
232.9 million. By contrast, although a dividend of EUR 0.85 per share was paid
for the 2005/06 financial year, the equity ratio amounted to 23.2 % (2005/06:
20.7%).

Satisfactory, stable order situation. During the past financial year, Eybl
International retained its positioning as a run-up and series supplier with
process stability. Above all, this was possible due to teamwork with the German
premium class car manufacturers, BMW and Audi. Consequently, numerous new orders
were received and despite the deterioration in the market situation already
described, order intake totalled EUR 311 million, which was roughly the level of
the preceding year (2005/06: EUR 323 million). Adjusted order backlog on the
reporting date (March 31, 2007) was also constant at EUR 1,040 million (2005/06:
EUR 1,050 million).
