PRELIMINARY RESULTS 2010 FOR SEMPERIT AG HOLDING: RECORD REVENUE AND
EARNINGS ACHIEVED

- Group revenue up 17.2% to EUR 689.4 million
- EBIT improved by 18.4% to EUR 82.4 million
- Positive outlook for 2011

Vienna, February 17, 2011 - The Semperit Group could achieve a new
revenue and earnings record in 2010.

2010 preliminary 2009 Change in %
Revenue in EUR million 689.4 588.1 +17.2
EBITDA in EUR million 112.3 102.8 +9.2
EBIT in EUR million 82.4 69.6 +18.4
Net profit for the year in EUR million 45.4 38.8 +17.0
Earnings per share 2.21 1.89 +17.0

Based on a clearly improved level of demand, total revenue of the
Semperit Group rose by 17.2% to EUR 689.4 million in the 2010
financial year. At the same time, despite massive price rises for the
most important raw materials, the operating result (EBIT) could be
increased by 18.4% to EUR 82.4 million, and the earnings before
interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) also reached an
all-time high of EUR 112.3 million (previous year: EUR 102.8
million). Net profit for the year and earnings per share rose by
17.0% to EUR 45.4 million or EUR 2.21 per share. This significant
earnings improvement can be attributed to the considerable increase
in sales volume and revenue as well as the cost reduction measures
set in 2009.

Divisions On the basis of ongoing good demand for high quality
gloves, the Sempermed division increased its revenue by 16.6% to EUR
316.4 million. The particularly cyclically-dependent Semperflex
division focusing on hose production clearly profited from the upturn
of the global economy, with revenue up 38.1% to EUR 145.5 million.
The Semperform division succeeded in improving revenue by 13.4% to
EUR 109.4 million. A slight rise in revenue by 2.8% to EUR 118.1
million was generated by the Sempertrans division.

Outlook Earnings for 2010 clearly show that Semperit not only coped
well with the economic crisis, but implemented the right measures to
be able to fully take advantage of the economic recovery to achieve
further growth and strengthen the Group. On the basis of the positive
economic forecasts and its strong competitive position, the
management of the Semperit Group also expects a satisfactory rev-enue
and earnings development in 2011 in spite of volatile raw material
markets.

The final results will be published on March 22, 2011.
