Nuremberg/Amsterdam, April 15, 2011

ad pepper media International N.V. began the new financial year with
significant sales growth in the 1st quarter of 2011. With consolidated
sales of EUR 12,859k (Q1 2010: EUR 11,995k), the company generated its
highest level of first-quarter sales in its history. The Webgains segment
in particular notably boosted its business volumes, with sales growth of 36
percent to EUR 4,886k (Q1 2010: EUR 3,591k), while the ad pepper media
segment generated sales of EUR 6,100k and thus began the current financial
year on a slightly weaker note than expected (Q1 2010: EUR 6,558k). The
Group's gross profit showed less marked year-on-year growth than sales,
rising 2.2 percent to EUR 5,410k (Q1 2010: EUR 5,291k).

Due in particular to investments in additional technology staff, the
company was unable to match the key profitability figures for the first
quarter of the previous year. First-quarter EBITDA amounted to EUR -1,090k
(Q1 2010: EUR 203k). EBIT amounted to EUR -1,225k, as against EUR 17k in
the previous year's quarter.

Liquid funds (including securities measured at fair value and time
deposits) fell to EUR 21,061k (31.3.2010: EUR 22,677k). In addition, ad
pepper media holds 1,779,292 own shares. There are still no liabilities to
banks. The equity ratio rose to 72.5 percent (31.3.2010: 68.9 percent).

The report on the 1st quarter of 2011 will be published on May 11, 2011.
