annual report

Hamburg, 8 November 2011 (euro adhoc) - SinnerSchrader ended the
2010/2011 financial year (1 September 2010 to 31 August 2011) with
net revenue of EUR 30.9 million and an operating result (EBITA) of
EUR 2.6 million. In comparison to the previous year, SinnerSchrader
increased its revenue by EUR 7 million or 29.1 per cent and increased
its EBITA by EUR 0.4 million or 19.5 per cent. Net income rose by
15.9 per cent to just under EUR 1.3 million or 11.4 cents per share.
The audited Consolidated Financial Statements approved by the
Supervisory Board at its meeting yesterday, which are being presented
today, confirm the provisional figures of 13 October 2011.

SinnerSchrader has thus greatly exceeded the growth objectives set
for 2010/2011. The good economic development in Germany and the
steady move towards digital marketing ensured high demand for the
SinnerSchrader Group´s services in the financial year just completed,
particularly in the Interactive Marketing segment. Many new customers
acquired in the 2009/2010 and 2010/2011 financial years contributed
to revenue growth of EUR 5.4 million in this segment alone against
the backdrop of stable business with existing customers and have
enabled SinnerSchrader to gain a good position in the insurance
industry, and with luxury brands and food retailers.

As announced, SinnerSchrader also consistently advanced the expansion
of its service portfolio, thus investing in future growth. In the
2010/2011 financial year, the creative agency Haasenstein was
launched and the retargeting network mementoo was developed and
introduced on the market. Furthermore, SinnerSchrader took over
TIC-mobile GmbH (now SinnerSchrader Mobile GmbH), a specialist for
mobile apps, and two agencies with a technical focus on developing
online shops based on Magento technology.

These growth initiatives burdened the total operating result by
around EUR 1.5 million. Without these encumbrances, the EBITA would
have been above EUR 4 million and the EBITA margin would have been
13.3 per cent. Including the expansion costs, the operating margin in
the 2010/2011 financial year was 8.5 per cent.

Due to the rise in revenue, the investments in growth and resumed tax
payments, the liquidity reserve fell in the financial year by
EUR 2.5 million to EUR 5.7 million as of 31 August 2011. The equity
ratio on the balance sheet date was a good 59 per cent. At the end of
August 2011, the SinnerSchrader Group had 400 employees, 13 of whom
were apprentices.

In spite of a clearly slowing economy in Germany, SinnerSchrader sees
good opportunities for double-digit growth in the current financial
year as well. However, in contrast to the previous year, the focus is
to be on the profit development: For 2011/2012 SinnerSchrader has set
itself the goal of revenue growth of 15 per cent to around
EUR 35.5 million, an improvement in the EBITA of 25 per cent to more
than EUR 3.25 million and a rise in the net income of 33 per cent to
EUR 1.7 million. So far, the current turbulence concerning state
indebtedness in the Euro region have not had any noticeable effect on
business conducted by SinnerSchrader, but the forecasts are subject
to the proviso that the crisis does not give rise to major economic
upheavals.

Against the background of the success in the 2010/2011 financial year
and in view of the fundamentally positive outlook, the Management
Board and Supervisory Board propose that the Annual General Meeting
on 15 December 2011 increase the dividend by 25 per cent over the
previous year, from 8 cents to 10 cents per share. This amount will
presumably once again be paid from the tax deposit account and would
therefore be tax-free for those with minor holdings. SinnerSchrader
is also planning to include shareholders in the positive development
of the net profit per share by increasing the dividend in the years
ahead.

The Consolidated Financial Statements and the Annual Report of
SinnerSchrader AG can be viewed from today on SinnerSchrader´s
investors´ website, at www.sinnerschrader.ag. The complete Annual
Report will probably be published on the same website on 30 November
2011.
