Dornbirn, Austria - In the 2006/07 financial year, the Zumtobel
Group of Austria more than doubled its net profits from EUR 49.5
million in the previous year (PY) to EUR 103.6 million. Adjusted
for exceptional items and non- recurring expenses, EBIT rose
13.3% to EUR 112.3 million, enabling the Group to attain the
targeted improvement in EBIT margin, which reached 9.1% (PY adjusted
EBIT margin: 8.5%).

Along with cost reductions generated by restructuring measures,
the Group's improved performance was largely driven by further
revenue growth. Group revenues moved ahead 5.6% from EUR
1,168.0 million in the previous year (adjusted for the sale of
the airfield lighting business) to EUR 1,234.0 million in the
year under review. As in the previous year, both of the Group's
divisions contributed to growth. Revenues increased 3.2% in
the luminaire business, while TridonicAtco posted two-digit
growth as sales moved ahead 11.6%.

Based on the substantial upturn in earnings and the capital
increase carried out in conjunction with initial public offering in
May 2006, the key financial indicators showed a further
improvement. Thus, by the balance-sheet date, equity had
increased by EUR 253.8 million to EUR 441.6 million and as a result,
the equity ratio rose from 17.3% to 38.6%.

Even compared to what had been a strong fourth quarter in the
previous year (EUR 303.7 million), revenues in the fourth quarter
(February to April) were up 3% at EUR 312.7 million. The adjusted
EBIT margin rose 80 basic points to stand at 8.1% (PY Q4: 7.3%). The
fact that this was lower than the full-year adjusted EBIT margin of
9.1% was due to the seasonal nature of the Group's project
business.

The Management Board and Supervisory Board will recommend that
the Annual General Meeting on 26 July 2007 approve the payment of a
dividend of EUR 0.50 per share.

In the current financial year 2007/08, the Management Board is
expecting to see a further increase in revenues and EBIT. Against
the backdrop of a healthy economy, the Zumtobel Group is
targeting revenue growth of at least 5% and thus aiming to once
again outperform European construction industry growth by
between two and three percentage points. In terms of EBIT
margin, the Management Board confirmed a target of 10% for the
2007/08 financial year.

Note to the editors The comparable prior year figures were adjusted
to reflect the application of IFRS 5 and IAS 19.
