The DATA MODUL Group will thus find further growth opportunities in 2015,
arising from the overall economic situation and from new products developed
to market-readiness - despite fierce competition. We will therefore
consequently continue reviewing all our product lines with regard to
profitability and adjust our strategic product orientation if necessary. We
will nevertheless consequently pursue our strategic goals with a view to
remaining on the trajectory of recent years. In view of the positive market
environment however, the DATA MODUL Executive Board believes in a good
fiscal year 2015. We expect the productivity-raising measures implemented
over recent years to come to fruition, adding lasting value, which however
may be impacted by special charges.

The Executive Board
Munich, August 11, 2015
