Turbon AG / Quarter Results 19.11.2008 Release of a Corporate News, transmitted by DGAP - a company of EquityStory AG. The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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.
