Eindhoven, December 19, 2007 – Catalis N.V., a worldwide leading
outsourcing services provider focusing on high-end technical services
relating to the creation of digital content for the film, video games and
telecom industry, is pleased to announce its financial guidance for the
fiscal year 2008 and to raise its forecast for the fiscal year 2007.

Due to the positive business development in the fourth quarter 2007 so far,
the management of Catalis N.V. raises its forecast for the full fiscal year
2007, now expecting a turnover of more than EUR 34.0m and an operating
profit (EBIT) of more than EUR 4.9m

The reasons for this development and the basis for the following guidance
for the fiscal year 2008 are a strong recovery of the DVD testing business,
which is due to the fact that the impact of the still lingering 'war of
formats' between BluRay and HD-DVD on the film business has significantly
decreased, and a very dynamic growth of the video games testing business
going hand in hand with the strong and sustainable demand for video game
content.

Based on these developments in two important markets for Catalis N.V., and
without taking into account the effects of the planned acquisition of
GameInstinct, the company’s management expects revenues of more than EUR
39.0m and an operating profit (EBIT) of more than EUR 5.5m for the fiscal
year 2008.
