Press release / Main company information

Gleisdorf, 12 August 2015. In the first half of 2015 Binder+Co, the
Gleisdorf-based, international specialist for processing,
environmental and packaging technology was able to improve its sales
revenues, EBIT and order backlog markedly. The declared aim of the
Binder+Co management for the year as a whole is therefore to raise
sales revenues and the result for the year to levels that exceed
those of 2013 and 2014.

At EUR 40.95 million sales revenues in the first half of 2015
surpassed the figure for the same period of the last year by around
15% (H1/2014: EUR 35.76 million). Following negative EBIT of minus
EUR 0.49 million in the comparative period of 2014, the first half of
2015 saw Binder+Co again achieve positive EBIT of EUR 0.65 million.
The order situation and hence the medium-term outlook also developed
satisfactorily and as at 30 June 2015, Binder+Co order backlog stood
at EUR 56.12 million, which was slightly higher than the already
solid EUR 54.79 million of the preceding year.

Karl Grabner from the Binder+Co Management Board: “In the first half
of 2015, Binder+Co was again able to raise its sales revenues, EBIT
and order backlog. We are also extremely satisfied with the order
intake situation. The related figure was lower than in 2014, but no
longer consisted of large-volume system and plant projects with poor
margins and instead was dominated by lucrative single machine
projects. All in all, we assume that in 2015 we will be able to lift
both sales revenues and income to levels above those of 2013 and
2014.”

The strengths of the Binder+Co Group: three different segments Sales
revenues in the Processing Technology Segment, which is the strongest
segment and covers the screening, wet processing, drying and
comminution areas, amounted to EUR 17.12 million, which represented a
roughly 42% share of total sales. The 9% decline in sales revenues as
compared to the preceding year can be traced to the fact that no
large-volume plant projects were cleared in the first quarter of
2015. Moreover, as the subsidiaries allocated to the segment are yet
to develop as anticipated, in spite of a marked improvement segment
EBIT remained negative at minus 0.58 million. Owing to the lack of
large volume system and plant business, order intake was considerably
down on the figure for the preceding year at EUR 18.71 million.

Sales revenues in the Environmental Technology Segment, which focuses
on classification machines for glass, paper and plastics recycling,
were some 28% up on those of the previous year at EUR 11.06 million.
Nonetheless, segment EBIT remained negative at minus EUR 0.33 million
owing to weaker result margins on the plant projects undergoing
completion (H1/2014: EUR 0.07 million). Order intake rose by around
25% to stand at EUR 14.93 million.

The Packaging Technology Segment, which is managed by the independent
subsidiary Statec Binder GmbH, was able to increase its sales
revenues by roughly 54% to EUR 12.77 million and its EBIT by around
79% to EUR 1.56 million. By contrast, at EUR 9.28 million, order
intake was roughly 35% down on the highly positive level of the first
half of 2014.

Workforce numbers Owing to personnel structure streamlining,
workforce numbers at Binder+Co fell marginally from 373 at the end of
2014 to 369 as at 30 June 2015.

Investments As compared to the same period of 2014, Binder+Co Group
investments in the first half of 2015 were considerably lower at EUR
1.37 million (H1/2014: EUR 3.33 million). This was due to the fact
that the long-term investment programme at group headquarters in
Gleisdorf was largely completed in 2014.

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%).
