Ad hoc press release

Provisional net turnover figures for the year 2012:
Goldbach Group: Stable turnover in a recessive market environment

Turnover CHF 445 million - TV and radio advertising strong - Decline
in online advertising - moving images as revenue driver -
International business 11%

Küsnacht, January 22nd, 2013. Goldbach Group, the leader in the
German-speaking region, in Southeastern and Eastern Europe, as well
as in Russia, in the marketing of private electronic, mobile and
interactive media and online marketing, closed the 2012 financial
year with net turnover totalling CHF 445 million (previous year: CHF
446 million). This means a stable turnover situation for Goldbach,
despite the underlying recessive market environment.

Turnover in the business line Goldbach Media, in which Goldbach pools
the marketing of private TV, radio and digital out-of-home
advertising first and foremost in Switzerland, as well as in Austria
and Romania, rose by 4% to CHF 352 million (previous year: CHF 338
million).

The business line Goldbach Audience, which sells online advertising
in Switzerland, Austria, the southern Adriatic and the eastern
European region, reports 18% drop in turnover in 2012 in comparison
to the previous year, at CHF 62 million (previous year: CHF 75
million). The decline in sales (most of all Display) in the first six
months of 2012 slowed substantially in the second half of the year.
The demand for moving images advertising increased greatly.

Net turnover for the business line Goldbach Interactive, which
provides concept development, design and technological services for
interactive communication and marketing solutions for the internet
and mobile devices such as smartphones and pads, dropped down
slightly in 2012, falling by -3% in comparison to the previous year,
to CHF 38 million (previous year: CHF 39 million).

Goldbach Media accounts for 80% of total turnover (previous year:
76%), with Goldbach Audience contributing 12% (previous year: 15%).
Goldbach Interactive's share of total turnover is 8% (previous year:
9%). In 2012, 89% of turnover derived from Switzerland (previous
year: 87%) and 11% from international business (previous year: 13%).

The finalised turnover and EBIT figures will be communicated on
Tuesday, March 5th, 2013.

"In a recessive advertising environment, Goldbach has achieved an
increase in turnover with its strong involvement in above-the-line TV
and radio advertising. This confirms once again that the advertising
community favours tried and tested forms of advertising in
economically difficult times", notes Klaus Kappeler, CEO of Goldbach
Group. "The continuing integration of TV and interactive mobile
communications in conjunction with the ongoing development of
performance marketing should boost demand for services in the field
of internet business as soon as the initial signs of an economic
recovery emerge."
