Financial Figures/Balance Sheet/quarterly report
04.12.2013

Laakirchen, December 4, 2013. In terms of group revenue and profit,
the Upper Austrian technology group Miba AG, listed in the standard
market auction segment of Wiener Börse AG, once again nearly reached
prior-year levels in the first three quarters of 2013-2014 (February
1 to October 31) despite more difficult market conditions than in the
prior-year comparative period.

Consolidated revenue amounted to EUR 460.0 million, which equates to
a minimal reduction of only 0.4 percent compared to the first three
quarters of 2012-2013. EBIT (earnings before interest and tax)
amounted to EUR 54.1 million and was thus also only slightly below
the prior-year comparative (EUR 54.2 million).

As of the October 31, 2013, reporting date, Miba employed 4,618
members of staff globally (including agency staff), and thus 206
employees more than in the previous year. Increases in staff numbers
occurred mainly in Slovakia, the USA and China. Currently, Miba is
training 169 apprentices at its sites in Austria and Slovakia - the
highest number ever in the history of Miba apprenticeship training.

In the first nine months of the fiscal year, Miba invested almost EUR
37.3 million globally (previous year: EUR 40 million) in the
expansion of capacity and in measures to improve productivity,
despite continuing short-term uncertainties concerning the
development of demand. Capital expenditure volumes for the whole year
should at least be at or around the same level as in the previous
year (EUR 51 million).

While developments in some sales markets over the next few months
continue to be difficult to predict, other sectors are showing signs
of stabilizing as well as slight increases since the third quarter,
which should also continue in the fourth quarter. Miba is therefore
assuming that it will be able to end the whole year (February 1 to
January 31) at or around the level of the previous year.
