Utimaco Reports Preliminary Results of the First Quarter 2008/2009 

Oberursel, 29th October 2008 – According to current calculations, Utimaco
Safeware has achieved revenues of € 12.2 million in the first quarter (July
to September) of fiscal year 2008/2009 (July 2008 to June 2009). This
represents an increase of 11.4% compared to the same period in the previous
year (previous year € 11.0 million).

According to preliminary estimates the company expects a negative EBITDA in
the first quarter 2008/2009 of minus € 0.4 million compared to a positive
EBITDA of € 1.5 million in the first quarter of the previous year. The
EBITDA include extraordinary costs of € 0.2 million within the scope of the
voluntary public offer of Sophos.
Due to the uncertainty of the future economic development in the target
markets Europe, USA and Japan, which increasingly also affects investments
in IT, the company does currently not assume to repeat previous year´s
EBITDA of € 10.9 million in the actual fiscal year.

The final results for the first quarter of fiscal year 2008/2009 will be
published on 18th November 2008.

Utimaco Safeware AG, with headquarters in Oberursel, near Frankfurt am
