SEMPERIT AG HOLDING: REVENUE AND EARNINGS GROWTH IN THE FIRST QUARTER
OF 2011

- Revenue increase of +27% to EUR 194 million
- Rising costs of materials increased pressure on margins
- Earnings after tax up +20% to EUR 11 million

Vienna, May 10, 2011 - The first quarter 2011 proceeded
satisfactorily for the Semperit Group. On basis of increased demand
in almost all markets, total revenue of the Semperit Group climbed by
+27% to EUR 194 million. In addition to the higher level of sales,
the underlying reason was the large-scale selling price increases, in
some cases in the double-digit range.

1-3/2011 1-3/2010 Change in %
Revenue in EUR million 193.7 152.4 +27.1
EBITDA in EUR million 25.3 23.8 +6.2
EBIT in EUR million 18.0 16.2 +11.3
Earnings after tax in EUR million 11.2 9.3 +20.3

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization
(EBITDA) amounted to EUR 25 million, a rise of +6% from the
prior-year quarter. EBIT rose by +11% from the first quarter of 2010
to EUR 18 million. Earnings after tax were up by +20% to EUR 11
million.

The Semperit Group managed to report a gratifying business
development especially in the industrial sector (Semperflex,
Semperform, Sempertrans), whereas revenue growth in the medical
sector (Sem-permed) was due to selling price increases. The
industrial sector achieved considerable volume growth in all
divisions.

OUTLOOK The current economic situation should ensure a high capacity
utilization of all production companies in 2011. However, the further
development of raw material markets poses a big risk to the business
development of the company. The ability to fully pass on raw material
price hikes to customers in a timely manner seems to be limited. For
this reason, margins are likely to come under even more pressure in
the upcoming quarterly periods. In this environment, Semperit will do
everything in its power to further improve its productivity and cost
structure in order to be able to also generate satis-factory results
in the entire year 2011.

The complete Report on the 1st quarter 2011 of the Semperit Group has
been published and can be viewed on the company´s Website at
