- 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.
