9-month report

12.11.2014

While during the first three quarters of 2014, the Gleisdorf-based
international specialist for processing, environmental and packaging
technology was subject to a tangible decline in both sales revenues
and results, new business showed a marked increase of 62% over the
preceding year.

In the third quarter of 2014, the upturn in Binder+Co order intake,
which was already indicated during the second quarter, continued to
gather strength. All in all, in the first nine months of the year new
orders with a value of EUR 87.39 million were acquired, thus
surpassing the figure for the comparable period of 2013 by 61.6%.

Karl Grabner, from the Binder+Co Management Board: “With sales
revenues of EUR 58.92 million, during the third quarter the negative
EBIT of the first half-year was turned into a plus of EUR 0.49
million. This is less than we expected, but it does indicate a clear
upward trend. At EUR 65.03 million, our order backlog is 157% higher
than in the previous year and even though more than half of this
total will first be recognized after 2014, the order backlog of
relevance to 2014 amounts to some EUR 27.2 million. This underpins
our goal of emulating the sales revenues and result figures achieved
in 2013.”

Segments: sales revenues and results down, but more orders across the
board Although slightly weaker than in the preceding year, with EUR
32.11 million Processing Technology was again the strongest segment
and provided the largest share of total sales revenues. As in the
first half-year, segment EBIT remained negative due both to the
losses of the young subsidiaries reported under the segment and the
lack of contributions to the result on the part of the parent
company. By contrast, order intake based on large plant projects rose
by 74.5%.

Sales revenues in the Environmental Technology Segment, which focuses
on classification machines for glass and plastics recycling, totalled
EUR 13.85 million and were therefore below the level of the preceding
year. As a consequence, segment EBIT fell considerably to EUR 0.38
million. The increase in new orders is based largely on high-volume
systems business.

The Packaging Technology Segment, which is managed by the independent
subsidiary Statec Binder GmbH, also showed a decline in sales
revenues and results as compared to the above-average figures for the
comparable period of 2013. Nonetheless, order intake in this segment
was also up, rising by around 80%.

Constant workforce numbers By the end of 2013, continuing
internationalization had resulted in a considerable increase in the
size of the Binder+Co Group workforce to 370. On September 30, 2014,
own personnel numbered 373.

Investments By the end of the third quarter of 2014, Binder+Co had
invested a sum of EUR 6.00 million in expansion at the individual
Group locations. The focus of this spending continued to be Gleisdorf
and related mainly to the construction of the new Group headquarters,
which commenced in 2012, and production modernization.

The Binder+Co Group Binder+Co is a specialist in the field of
processing, environmental and packaging technology and the world
market leader in the screening and glass recycling segments. The
company was listed on the Vienna Stock Exchange at the end of 2006
and is now part of the Third Market in the mid market segment. The
Binder+Co Group consists of Binder+Co AG, the three fully owned
subsidiaries Comec-Binder S.r.l., Bublon GmbH and Binder+Co Machinery
(Tianjin) Ltd., as well as the Statec Binder GmbH joint venture
(50.7%). In 2010, Binder+Co was awarded the Austrian National
Innovation Prize for its successful implementation of inventive
capacity. Moreover, in 2011 it received both the Austrian National
Prize for Work Safety for its introduction of special safety measures
for apprentices, and the Best Open Innovator Award of the Zeppelin
University Friedrichshafen as the top SME in the D-A-CH region. In
2012, the company was also presented with the TRIGOS Styria in the
Ecology category for its efforts in the resource conservation area.
