Company Profile:

Derby Cycle is Germany's largest bicycle manufacturer in terms of
revenues, and one of the leading manufacturers in Europe. In
particular, global demand growth for high-quality electric and sports
bicycles, as well as the company's advancing internationalisation in
all European volume markets, are reflected in the company's dynamic
growth. Derby Cycle's product range comprises electric bicycles,
sports bicycles for leisure and competition purposes, as well as
comfort bikes for everyday and travel use. These bicycles are sold
through the established Kalkhoff, Focus, Raleigh, Univega and Rixe
brands. All models are developed and assembled at the company's base
in Cloppenburg, Germany. These high-quality products are distributed
through specialist retailers who provide their customers with
professional advice and extensive service.

With around 550 employees, Derby Cycle achieved revenue of EUR 173
million in the 2009/2010 financial year, 72.6 percent of which was
generated in Germany, and 27.4 percent abroad. Earnings before
interest and tax (EBIT) amounted to approximately EUR 12 million.
Derby Cycle sold a total of around 430,000 bicycles, of which 44,000
comprised e-bikes. As a consequence, Derby Cycle has asserted a
position of clear market leadership in the German e-bike market in
2010 with a 20 percent market share. The company forecasts revenues
of EUR 220 million to 240 million, and an EBIT margin of 8 to 9
percent (2009/10: 7.0 percent) for the 2010/11 financial year that
ends on September 30, 2011.
