---------------------------------------------------------------------

Brunnthal/Munich, January 29, 2013 - SFC Energy AG announces preliminary,
unaudited figures for the 2012 fiscal year.
SFC Group achieved total sales 2012 of approx. 31.3m EUR. More than
doubling 2011 sales (15.4m EUR) and thus slightly exceeding expectations.
SFC's business generated sales of approx. 18.3m EUR which marks an increase
of 26% (2011: 14.5m EUR). With approx. 13.0m EUR, as expected, PBF's 2012
sales reached the previous year's level. (It should be noted that in 2011
PBF was only consolidated with effect from December 1, 2011, contributing
0.9m EUR sales).
SFC's sales growth was mainly due to the positive development in the
segments Defense & Security (up 95% versus 2011) and Industry (up 32%
versus 2011). As a result of the weaker demand throughout Europe sales in
the Consumer Segment were down 25% on 2011 as had been expected.
As forecasted, SFC Energy Group achieved a positive EBITDA of approx. 0.7m
EUR (2011: negative 4.6m EUR). Underlying EBITDA, before one-off items, was
approx. 0.8m EUR (2011: negative 2.7m EUR).
The Group's EBIT 2012 was also significantly improved to approx. negative
0.5m EUR (2011: negative 6.6m EUR). Contained in this are one-off items in
the total amount of a net gain of approx. 0.5m EUR (reversal of impairment
charges on capitalized development costs as a consequence of the major
order placed by Deutsche Bundeswehr, acquisition costs and compensation
payments). Underlying EBIT 2012 was negative approx. 1.0m EUR versus
negative 4.1m EUR in the previous year.
For the 2013 fiscal year SFC Energy management continues to expect sales
growth of about 10% along with further improvements in key earning figures.
A more detailed outlook and the complete annual report will be published on
March 26, 2013.
