CANCOM shows strong third quarter and a very good development overall for
the current financial year

The financial results for the first nine months 2015 are as follows:

- Consolidated sales revenues EUR 657.4 million (+14.5 % year-on-year)

- Group EBITDA EUR 40.9 million  (+15.5 % year-on-year) corresponds to an
EBITDA margin of 6.2 % and on previous year's level

- Group EBITA EUR 31.4 million (+15.4 % year-on-year)

- Earnings per share EUR 1.04 adjusted for a one-off effect (as-if) (+30.0
% year-on-year)

Munich, Germany, 12 November 2015  - The positive development of CANCOM
group's business has continued in the further course of the year. This is
reflected in the excellent financial results for the third quarter as well
as for the first nine months of 2015. Both business segments contributed to
a respectively strong group-performance.

Consolidated sales revenues for the first nine months amount to EUR 657.4
million, up by 14.5 % compared to previous year's value (9 months 2014: EUR
574.3 million). Group-EBITDA from January to September grew by 15.5 %, thus
hitting a value of EUR 40.9 million, corresponding to a constantly sound
EBITDA-margin of 6.2 %. EBITA for the same period was also increased by a
double-digit percentage, namely by 15.4 % to EUR 31.4 million. Earnings per
share (EPS) from continuing operations for the first nine months of the
current financial year is negatively affected by a one-off effect in the
financial result. Earnings per share, adjusted by this effect in the amount
of 9 cent based on EPS, adds up to EUR 1.04 (as-if) compared to previous
year's value of EUR 0.80 (+30.0 %).

Significantly high profitability in the third quarter

Consolidated sales revenues in the period July to September grew by 10.1 %
to EUR 226.9 million. Group-EBITDA could be increased by 17.0 %  to EUR
17,2 Mio., corresponding to a strong EBITDA-margin of 7,6 % as compared to
7.1 % in previous year's third quarter.

Both business segments IT Solutions and Cloud Solutions had a share in the
strong development of the group's business. The segments took advantage
form a continuing friendly business climate in Germany and a stable demand
for trend-setting IT solutions in the Cloud Computing environment, which
should continue in the fourth quarter from today's perspective.
