annual result

München (euro adhoc) - - Order entry grew 10.6% to 153.9 million
euros

- Order backlog rose 19.2% and achieved a new record
- EBIT of 8.2 million euros below prior year - Charges resulting from
investments in preparation for expected growth in the coming years

Data Modul AG, the European market leader in the area of display
technology, reviews a successful 2012 fiscal year. In 2012, the
transformation of the business model continued towards a higher
portion of added value solutions and proprietary products which are
tailored to the customer's requirements and are concentrated in the
Systems business. Accordingly, the Systems business recorded a 12.1%
increase in revenues in the past year. Order entry even attained an
increase of 39.4%. At the Group level, revenues in 2012 remained
virtually unchanged at 140.2 million euros while the order entry for
the Group rose 10.6% to 153.9 million euros. The order backlog
reached a new record level of 81.5 million euros.

The results were marked by expenses for the expected growth to come:
significantly higher investments, a further planned increase in
research and development costs, and a rise in the number of
employees. Consequently, EBIT was below the high level of the prior
year and amounted to 8.2 million euros. A favourable tax effect
resulted in a decrease in net income of only 9.2% to 6.9 million
euros. This corresponded to earnings per share in 2012 of 1.98 euros.
At the Annual General Meeting on May 5, 2013, an unchanged cash
dividend distribution of 0.60 euro per share will be proposed.

*Proposal for the Annual General Meeting on May 17, 2013

The year 2013 will be a transition year for DATA MODUL and will be affected by
investments in future growth. This especially pertains to the transfer of
production and logistics from Munich to Weikersheim, as well as the related
build-up of capacity. As has been already announced last year, DATA MODUL will
continue to consistently forge ahead with its strategic transition of the
business model toward the higher added value and strong growing Systems
business as well as toward increased internationalisation.
