Schaltbau Group remained on growth course in 2012 - dividend to be    
raised to EUR 0.77 per share

Munich, 08 March 2013 - Despite the unsettled economic environment, in
fiscal year 2012 the Schaltbau Group again managed to surpass both sales
revenue and Group net profit compared with the previous year. Preliminary
figures show that sales grew by 13.9% to EUR 362.8 million. EBIT improved
by 7.3% to reach EUR 29.5 million. The result is influenced by exceptional
factors relating to the first-time consolidation, acquisition costs and
upfront expenditure for personnel as well as the cost of research and
development. The EBIT margin decreased to 8.1% in the year under report,
compared with 8.6% in 2011.

Group net profit for the year rose to EUR 22.2 million (2011: EUR 21.7
million), despite the previous year having been positively impacted by fair
value gains recorded in interest and investment income. The profit
attributable to shareholders of Schaltbau Holding AG amounted to EUR 19.0
million (2011: EUR 18.7 million). At EUR 3.09, undiluted earnings per share
were higher than the most recently forecast figure. Adjusted to account for
the impact of the 1:3 share split that came into force on 20 August 2012,
earnings per share for the fiscal year 2011 amounted to EUR 3.13.

Despite the significant increase in the balance sheet total, the equity
ratio rose to stand at 29.9% on the balance sheet date (2011: 27.9%). Due
to a sharp rise in working capital resulting from strong sales in the final
quarter 2012 as well as growth in order-book figures, Group net bank
liabilities amounted to EUR 45.0 million (2011: EUR 27.4 million).

Due to the good earnings situation in fiscal year 2012 and the unbroken
positive prospects for the future of the Schaltbau Group, the Executive
Board will put forward a proposal for the appropriation of profit to the
Supervisory Board to pay a dividend of EUR 0.77 (2011: EUR 0.60).
