Rücker AG: Preliminary results first quarter 2009

In spite of lower order volume positive EBIT - strong sales deviation
compared to 2008 - extensive measures implemented early on

Wiesbaden, April 27th, 2009 - According to the preliminary results of the
first quarter 2009 Rücker AG realized a positive operational result. The
global financial & economical crisis has had an important impact on the
automotive companies and their suppliers and therefore also on the publicly
quoted Rücker AG.

In spite of this impact the company could still realize a positive
operational result (EBIT) of 300 TEUR. Strong deviations from 2009 were
caused by lower order volume and postponement of projects: in the first
quarter 2008 EBIT was at 2.1 Mio. EUR. Net profit after tax should be
around 25.000 EUR (2008: 1.1 Mio. EUR). Sales were down 19.6% from 43.1
Mio. EUR in 2008 to 34.8 Mio. EUR.

In order to compensate for the lower business volume the company has
reacted by implementing extensive measures to optimize the costs improve
structure and short time work.
