Schaltbau Group raises forecast for 2011

Munich, 15 September 2011 - The Schaltbau Group maintained a continuously
dynamic business performance in all three segments during the first eight
months of 2011. The business fields Door Systems, Components and Brake
Systems in particular all easily outperformed company expectations. The
latter profited to a great extent from the dissolution of the investment
backlog in the field of container terminals. The outlook continues to be
positive for the coming months. In view of these facts, the Executive Board
of Schaltbau Holding AG is again upwardly adjusting its forecast for the
current fiscal year 2011, based on market conditions remaining constant.

Group sales for 2011 are thus forecast to rise to approximately EUR 315
million (previous forecast: EUR 300 million). The operating profit (EBIT)
is now predicted to total EUR 29.3 million (previous forecast: EUR 26.0
million) and group net profit to reach EUR 20.9 million (previous forecast:
EUR 18.6 million). Earnings will also be positively affected by higher
exceptional gains recorded in the result from investments. Earnings per
share would then total approximately EUR 8.85 (previous forecast: EUR
8.00).
