The mutares Group (ISIN: DE000A0SMSH2) increased its operating earnings
(EBITDA) to EUR 4.4m by generating revenues of EUR 152.7m in the first
quarter. The management expects 2016 to be another record year driven by
dynamic M&A activities in the coming months.

In Q1 2016, the mutares Group generated revenues of EUR 152.7m (Q1 2015:
EUR 169.9m). The development of revenues was effected by the
deconsolidation of the recent exits. The operative result (EBITDA)

progress of portfolio companies acquired in 2015. This reflects and proves

competence of mutares. For the coming months, a dynamic M&A activities can
be expected due to mutares' attractive transaction pipeline. Therefore, the
management anticipates 2016 to be another record year.
