The positive dynamic business trend registered in the previous
reporting periods also continued in the third quarter 2010, with
group sales showing considerable growth of roughly 30% to EUR 184.4
million. In the first nine months of 2010 this increase amounted to
26.9% or EUR 116.5 million. Group EBITDA also showed a favorable
development in the third quarter 2010, rising to EUR 13.6 million
compared to EUR 3.8 million in the same period of the previous year.
In the first nine months of 2010, group EBITDA amounted to EUR 30.2
million, which corresponds to an EBITDA margin of 5.5%. In addition
to the global recovery trend of the market, this favorable
performance of group EBITDA is mainly attributable to the
implementation of efficiency measures and the continued high cost
awareness of the management. Nevertheless this fairly positive
earnings development has to be seen in the context of the continued
need for remedial action in the "problem areas" of the Automotive
Systems Division (please refer to the segment reporting and the
outlook for further details in this regard). The first half of 2010
was marked by the achievement of a turnaround at the group level with
the company´s operating result turning positive for the first time
since the beginning of the financial and economic crisis. This
favorable development also continued in the third quarter of 2010,
with net profit for the period amounting to almost EUR 9 million
after a loss of EUR 97 million in the previous year.

OUTLOOK

Based on the dynamic development of the automotive and commercial
vehicle industry, which continued in the third quarter of 2010 und
the forecasts for the rest of the year, total group sales of EUR 750
million are anticipated for the full year 2010. Compared to the
interim report for the half year 2010, sales forecasts for the
full-year 2010 have been significantly raised. However, a certain
degree of insecurity with regard to the actual development until
year-end persists. This improved forecast will logically also have a
positive impact on the development of earnings, with full-year EBITDA
expecting to total at least EUR 40 million from today´s perspective.

However, it remains to be seen whether the turnaround measures
currently underway can be completed on time, thus averting the need
for additional restructuring measures with a negative impact on
results.
