euromicron AG / Key word(s): Change in Forecast 04.12.2013 12:15 Dissemination of an Ad hoc announcement according to § 15 WpHG, transmitted by DGAP - a company of EQS Group AG. The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Frankfurt/Main, December 4, 2013 - euromicron AG is adjusting its forecast for fiscal 2013. In the 3rd quarter of 2013, euromicron performed stably and, as a consequence, achieved high new orders as well as record order backlog of EUR145 million. However, the usually above-average trend in the final quarter of 2013 has not materialized and instead there have been significant postponements in orders, with the result that sales and income will not reach the levels of the previous year. euromicron expects sales of around EUR320 million in 2013, below the original corridor of approximately EUR350 million. A key factor in this trend in the 4th quarter of 2013 is that the launch of projects, as well as ones already underway, are being postponed to the subsequent quarters. The related costs for providing capacities and material will impact anticipated income, as will additional project costs. Allowing for these additional special burdens and the lack of contribution margins as a result of lower sales, euromicron expects an EBITDA margin of just under 5%, compared with the original target and forecast of around 8%, in its second year of core integration. euromicron AG (www.euromicron.de) is an all-round solution provider for communications, transport, data and security networks. euromicron's network infrastructures integrate voice, video and data transport wirelessly, via copper cable and by means of fiber-optic technologies. euromicron builds leading applications, such as security, control, healthcare or surveillance systems, on the basis of these cutting-edge network infrastructures.
