Rücker AG / Preliminary Results/Forecast 13.03.2009 Release of a Adhoc News, transmitted by DGAP - a company of EquityStory AG. The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wiesbaden, March 13th, 2009 - In an increasingly difficult economical environment the company could in 2008 again show an increase in sales and results. Total sales increased by 4% to 176.3 Mio. Euro (previous year 168.9 Mio. Euro). The operational result (EBIT) was with 11.0 Mio. Euro higher than the year before (9.3 Mio. Euro). Net result was with 6.5 Mio. Euro significantly stronger than in 2007 (4.5 Mio. Euro). Sales for the group of the year 2009 will be lower than the year before due to the effects of the financial and economical crisis. Delays in projects will have a negative effect on sales and results. The company reacts by optimization of fix cost and adaptation of capacity and regional short time work. A realistic prognosis for the year 2009 is at this time not possible because of fluctuating market developments. Due to the weak start at the beginning of the year it will probably not be possible to reach the results of the previous year.
