6-month report

29.08.2011

St. Marien, August 29, 2011 - The technological Group HTI High Tech
Industries AG ("HTI"), listed in the prime market of the Vienna Stock
Exchange, reports on positive business development within the first
half-year 2011. From January until June 2011 the revenues of the HTI
Group increased by 7.1% to EUR 105.2 million, compared to the same
period last year. All earnings figures were further improved compared
to last year. This was made possible by good utilization in all
segments and a further improved cost structure.

The operative earnings before non-recurring items, interest, tax,
depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) increased from EUR 9.1 million
to EUR 9.2 million compared to the same period last year. The
operative earnings before non-recurring items, interest and tax
(EBIT) in comparison to the same period last year, increased by 26.1%
to EUR 4.1 million. The half-year EBT turned from EUR -0.3 million to
EUR 1.9 million. The EBIT-margin improved from 3.3% to 3.9%, the
EBT-margin from -0.3% to 1.8%. The half-year net result after tax
improved by EUR 3 million to EUR 2.2 million. As a result of that the
net result-margin increased substantially from -0.8% to 2.1%. The
earnings per share turned from -0.03 in the first half-year 2010 to
now EUR 0.08.

The equity measures, implemented during the past few months, like for
example the cash capital increase in the amount of 6.6 million, led
to a significant increase of consolidated equity of now EUR 45.3
million (after EUR 25.5 million as of mid-year 2010).

`We were able to continue our positive business development in the
first half-year 2011 and also managed to extend our existing market
position. We are totally on track for the whole year 2011´, comments
HTI CEO Peter Glatzmeier on the business development.

Outlook The good situation in call forwards in the segment
Lightweight Construction, the high order situation in the segments
Engineering and Energy Technology as well as a variety of promising
projects, currently under negotiation, basically allow the
expectation of continuation of the positive business development for
the second half-year 2011 for HTI. Precondition for this, however, is
that the latest turbulences on the financial markets are limited to
the capital markets only and do not have any influence on the cyclic
branches like the automotive-, steel- and construction industry. With
a mostly stable economic environment consolidated revenues
significantly above the EUR 200 million barrier and a clear positive
EBIT can be expected.
