SINGULUS TECHNOLOGIES Reports Preliminary Results for the Business
Year 2012 -Sales in-line with expectations -Earnings weaker than
projected -Order backlog improved to EUR 40.1 million -Leading
technologies in all three business segments

Kahl am Main, February 26, 2013 - SINGULUS TECHNOLOGIES (SINGULUS)
confirms the forecast released on November 8, 2012 with sales of
108.6 million for the past business year 2012. According to
preliminary results the total earnings including extraordinary
charges amounted to minus EUR 60.5 million. The order intake in the
fiscal year 2012 amounted to EUR 121.9 million (previous year: EUR
151.6 million). The order backlog in the amount of EUR 40.1 million
has improved compared with the prior-year level of EUR 26.8 million.

SINGULUS has a high liquidity position and in the business year 2011
already completely repaid its borrowings owed to banks. The balance
sheet remains stable and is still solid with an equity ratio of
approximately 37 %.

For SINGULUS TECHNOLOGIES to once again develop favorably, the core
segments will be further stabilized economically. Dr.-Ing. Stefan
Rinck, Chief Executive Officer of the SINGULUS TECHNOLOGIES AG,
comments: "We are leading with our machines in our three core
segments Optical Disc, Semiconductor and Solar. We expect that
overall we will be able to grow in these segments in 2013 and to
achieve positive earnings for the full-year.

Dr. Rinck adds: "However, if the current investment restraint for
production equipment in the solar market continues, this will have
corresponding impacts on the earnings targets of the company. To
strengthen the existing business activities, we continue to focus on
developing innovative products, which opens new markets."
