• Revenue increased by 18.9% to EUR 820.0 million

Vienna, March 29th 2012 - Semperit Group with its medical sector
(Sempermed) and industrial sector (Semperflex, Sempertrans and
Semperform) increased year on year revenue in 2011 by 18.9% to EUR
820.0 million. Sales growth is primarily derived from higher prices
as a result of increasing cost of raw materials but also increased
volumes in all sectors. The breakdown by sector shows an increase in
revenues in Sempermed of 17.4% to EUR 371.5 million, in Semperflex by
28.5% to EUR 186.9 million, in Sempertrans by 24.5% to EUR 147.0
million and in Semperform by 4.7% to EUR 114.6 million.

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization
(EBITDA) increased by 0.5% to EUR 112.8 million in comparison with
the previous year. The operating result (EBIT) increased by 0.9% to
EUR 83.1 million. Net income increased by 19.2% from EUR 45.4
million to EUR 54.1 million. Earnings per share increased in
line with net income to a value of EUR 2.63.

Semperit Group´s financial independence is highlighted by its
further increase in the equity ratio to 60.4% as of Dec. 31, 2011.
Based on these results, the board will propose a dividend payment
of EUR 0.80 per share at the Annual General Meeting. This
proposal reflects the balance between an unaltered attractive
shareholder return and a stronger growth orientation while
maintaining a solid capital structure.

Outlook For 2012, Semperit Group foresees further moderate growth.
Given the limited strategic visibility, primarily due to the
continued volatile raw material markets and the macroeconomic
conditions, an informed outlook regarding revenue and profit trends
for 2012 is difficult at the current time. Semperit Group continues
to follow its medium term target. On average, in the years up to and
including 2015, double digit sales growth should be achieved while
maintaining current profitability levels.
