Financial Figures/Balance Sheet
15.02.2013

Reporting sales revenues of EUR 227.4 million for the fiscal year
2012, Westag & Getalit AG was able to match the previous year's
gratifying level of sales (EUR 227.1 million). At EUR 48.9 million
(previous year: EUR 48.7 million) exports also remained almost
constant despite the precarious economic situation in Europe.

Earnings before income tax amounted to EUR 10.8 million (previous
year: EUR 11.8 million) in fiscal 2012. As already pointed out in the
previous quarterly reports, results were affected by the inferior
quality of certain sourced raw materials and the resulting increase
in the cost of manufacturing our products.

Reflecting the trend in earnings before tax, net profit for the year
reached EUR 7.5 million (previous year: EUR 8.2 million).

All above figures are provisional and are subject to the ongoing
audit of the financial statements. The final figures as well as a
profit appropriation proposal will be communicated in an ad-hoc press
release on March 14, 2013 following the adoption of the financial
statements by the Supervisory Board.

The above press release and further information on Westag & Getalit
are available on the Internet at www.westag-getalit.de.
