3-month report

25.04.2012

Au / Wädenswil, April 25, 2012 - Von Roll Holding AG announced its
first-quarter results today. The development of the company's
business during the first three months of 2012 was significantly
influenced by the continuing uncertain economic situation and by
foreign currency translation effects. Order intake rose slightly by
0.6% to reach CHF 160 million. At constant exchange rates, this
equals an increase of 5.7%. At current exchange rates, the industrial
group's turnover was 2.1% lower than in the previous year, amounting
to CHF 140 million. However, turnover increased by 2.1% when adjusted
for currency translation effects.

Since January 1, 2012, Von Roll's business segments are no longer
based on business applications in customer-defined sales markets.
Instead, the segments now cover all activities related to Von Roll's
production processes. The newly formed segment Von Roll Technologies
covers applications in the transformers, water and solar segments.
Figures from the previous year have been adjusted accordingly.
