Munich, October 13, 2010 - In the 3rd quarter of 2010, LUDWIG BECK AG (ISIN
DE 0005199905) succeeded in spurring the growth dynamics of the first half
of the year. As a result of the highly positive business development which
exceeded all expectations in the first nine months of the year 2010, the
Executive Board of the LUDWIG BECK Group has for the second time upgraded
its earnings forecast for 2010.

Based on the preliminary figures for the first nine months of 2010 the
company is now expecting earnings before taxes on income (EBT) to exceed
EUR 7.5m in the full year 2010 instead of EUR 7.0m as had been forecast.

Even though the fiscal year 2009 could be concluded with all-time record
results, the management anticipates clearly surpassing past successes in
the current fiscal year 2010. The 43.5 % EBT increase from EUR 4.4m to EUR
6.4m generated in the fiscal year 2009 was the best result ever achieved in
the company's history.

The final figures for the first nine months of the year 2010 will be
published by the company on October 21, 2010.
