The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Group revenue increases by 42.7% to EUR170.4 million according to preliminary, unaudited figures Luxembourg, 15/02/2012 - exceet Group SE, a leading supplier of integrated electronic products and solutions, has just completed the best year in its history. According to preliminary unaudited figures, Group revenue in the financial year 2011 grew by 42.7% to a total of EUR170.4 million (2010: EUR119.4 million). The key drivers of the company's revenue growth were strong demands in the areas of medical technology and industrial automation. The full-year results will be disclosed in the financial statements to be published on the 30 March 2012. Outlook For exceet Group SE, 2012 offers numerous opportunities in its core markets. Owing to its high-quality products and solutions, sophisticated innovations, efficient production facilities and strong customer relationships, the Group enjoys good growth potential, particularly in the areas of medical technology and industrial automation, as well as in security solutions. The company expects increasing growth especially in the area of Cloud Security, part of the Embedded Security Solutions (ESS) segment. Cloud Security is a field of rising importance due to the increasing use of Cloud computing where even most sensible data and applications are hosted externally. Overall exceet is confident about the new financial year 2012. Even if the economic environment proves to be more challenging and develops with a high degree of uncertainty, exceet Group will continue to focus on implementing its growth strategy. exceet's medium-term EBITDA margin expectation remains unchanged at 18%. With a comfortable net cash position, exceet is operating from a sound financing base. Its outlook takes the uncertain international economic environment into account, despite the fact that some of exceet's core business segments are probably not affected by business cycle fluctuations. One of the Group's key strategic goals is to increase its market share in growth markets while focusing on those markets in which the Electronic Components Modules & Systems (ECMS) and ID Management & Systems (IDMS) segments are already firmly established. The aim is to expand business activities in these markets and industry segments to serve new customer groups. The company intends to continue its geographic expansion in order to further bolster its strong position, especially in Europe. Furthermore, existing cross-selling opportunities within the exceet Group will continue to be used systematically. By streamlining production facilities, merging production sites and reducing personnel costs, the cost base will be further optimized. In 2012, the Group will again strengthen its existing development capacities and invest in new technologies, products and solutions. exceet Group SE 114, avenue Gaston Diderich L-1420 Luxemburg Fabian Rau, Vice President Investor Relations E-mail: f.rau@exceet.ch Phone: +41 (0)79 3125998 ISIN LU0472835155 (public shares), Regulated Market, Prime Standard, Frankfurt/Main ISIN LU0472839819 (public warrants), Regulated Market, General Standard, Frankfurt/Main 15.02.2012 DGAP's Distribution Services include Regulatory Announcements, Financial/Corporate News and Press Releases.
