Turbon AG – Turnover and result of Turbon Group still in line with the plan

Group sales of Euro 74.3 million for the first nine months of 2008 are
lower than those for the same period of 2007 (Euro 93.6 million). However,
we are still in line with the plan as nearly one-third of the decline is
currency-related and two-thirds are due to our conscious focus on core
laser cartridges and key customers. Ongoing cost saving measures continue
to pay off and resulted in improved earnings figures. Earnings before
interest and taxes (EBIT) were Euro 3.4 million (previous year Euro 1.8
million), result from ordinary operations was Euro 2.3 million (previous
year Euro 0.3 million) and consolidated net result after taxes was Euro 1.5
million versus Euro -0.2 million in 2007. Earnings per share, calculated on
the basis of the average number of shares outstanding were Euro 0.41
(previous year: Euro -0.14). Our total sales forecast of Euro 100 million
remains unchanged for the whole year of 2008. Therefore we expect positive
earnings figures also for Q4. The complete interim report for the first 9
months of 2008 is available from November 21, 2008 at Turbon AG,
Sekretariat, Ruhrdeich 10, 45525 Hattingen or at our website www.turbon.de.
