Subtitle: Revenue at Systems business unit plus 20.9 %

München (euro adhoc) - Munich-based DATA MODUL AG is Europe's largest
independent display technology company. DATA MODUL's leading edge
display solutions, embedded systems and Easy- Touch technologies are
used globally in electronic engineering applications and information
systems requiring the highest quality standards.

DATA MODUL has confirmed the positive trend of the first two quarters
in its earnings of the third quarter of 2012. We have continued
developing our business model to become an intelligent systems
solutions supplier with very promising results. In the third quarter
of the current financial year, order entry increased by 11.4% to 37.2
million euros. Compared to the same quarter of the previous year,
revenue increased slightly to 35.2 million euros. EBIT for the third
quarter of the current year is 2.2 million euros and totals 7.3
million euros for the first nine months of this year. Net income for
the period has risen significantly, reaching the 2.9 million euros
mark for the third quarter of 2012 (previous year: 1.6 million euros)
and totaling 6.4 million euros for the first nine months of the
current year (previous year: 5.2 million euros). Earnings per share
in the third quarter of the current financial year amount to 0.82
euros (previous year: 0.46 euros) and total 1.83 euros for the first
nine months of the current year (previous year: 1.47 euros).

Despite rather modest overall developments of the global markets,
DATA MODUL expects revenues for the current year to remain at
previous year's level. We are very well positioned and are largely
independent of individual markets and therefore able to compensate
for any market volatility. The upturn in the USA and Germany, our
most important markets, will be the driver for our business,
compensating for the difficult business environment in southern
Europe. DATA MODUL will continue to grow its R&D activities in 2012
and will prepare its production and logistics center in Weikersheim
for future growth. Even though these investments may have a
short-term impact on our earnings, we have laid the groundwork for
our future success.

Our shareholders will also benefit from DATA MODUL's bright future,
as the current development of our business and encouragement from
analysts and investors alike clearly indicates potential for our
market capitalization.
