Preliminary Figures 2011

17.01.2012

Ternitz/Vienna, 17 January 2012: Schoeller-Bleckmann Oilfield
Equipment AG (SBO), listed on the ATX market of the Vienna Stock
Exchange, again posted a remarkable increase in sales and profit in
fiscal 2011. This was due to SBO's position as the global market
leader in high-precision components for the oilfield service industry
and the strong industry cycle that remained unaffected by the
economic slowdown seen in the second half of 2011.

Based on preliminary figures, group sales went from MEUR 307.7 in the
previous year to MEUR 407.0, up 32 %. Earnings before tax (EBT)
climbed by an impressive 80 %, from MEUR 42.9 in 2010 to MEUR 77.0.
Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) stood at MEUR 89.0,
increasing by 80 % from MEUR 49.4 in 2010.

The final figures for full fiscal 2011 (1 January to 31 December
2011) will be published by SBO on 8 March 2012.
