Miba's annual results for 2012-2013: increase in sales and earnings

Laakirchen, Austria, May 8, 2013: Miba AG, a strategic partner to the
international engine and automotive industry which is listed on the
Vienna Stock Exchange in the standard market auction segment,
increased its consolidated sales by 2.4 percent to EUR 606.6 million
in the past business year (February 1, 2012 to January 31, 2013) from
the previous year's level of EUR 592.6 million. Earnings before
interest and taxes (EBIT) rose by 4.2 percent to EUR 69.9 million
from the previous year's level of EUR 67.0 million.

The Miba Sinter Group generated the largest share of consolidated
sales at nearly 35 percent, followed by the Miba Bearing Group with a
33 percent share. The Miba Friction Group contributed roughly 22
percent of consolidated sales. Just under eight percent came from the
New Technologies Group, and the remaining two percent from the Miba
Coating Group.

A solid capital and financial structure The equity ratio remains at
the high level of 52.6 percent (previous year: 54.6 percent), which
reflects Miba's solid capital and financial structure and ensures its
financial independence. Cash flow from operations totaled EUR 114.3
million (previous year: EUR 48.3 million), with Miba once again fully
financing its investments in fixed assets through the Group's own
capital resources. These investments totaled EUR 51.0 million
(previous year: EUR 47.3 million) and went to expanding the capacity
of the sites in Austria, Slovakia, China and the USA.

4,386 employees As of January 31, 2013, Miba had 4,386 employees
(including leased employees) at more than 20 sites worldwide. This
figure represents an increase of 87 employees over the previous year.
At the same time, in the past year the Group permanently took on many
previously leased employees.

Outlook: growth in China and the USA Despite the International
Monetary Fund's cautiously positive outlook for forecasted global
economic growth of 3.5 percent, it is difficult to predict how Miba's
target markets will develop. The restrained development of the second
half-year 2012-13 continued in the first months of 2013-2014, and
Miba cannot safely assume that growth will continue throughout the
2013-2014 business year. In the longer term, however, the Group
expects a noticeable recovery, especially in China and the USA.
