Integration of Swisslog leads to regular depreciation resulting from
purchase price allocation
KUKA expects strong, profitable growth to the year 2020

The EBIT-margin of the KUKA Group that was targeted at 5.5% for the fiscal
year 2015 with planned sales revenues of EUR 2.8 billion is expected to
reduce to 3.5%. This is due to regular depreciation of realized assets to
the amount of approximately EUR 60.0 million from purchase price allocation
in the context of the acquisition of Swisslog Holding AG.

Furthermore, the Executive Board is presenting a first-time guidance on a
five-year period, which indicates group-wide sales revenues amounting to
EUR 4.0 to 4.5 billion and an EBIT-margin of over 7.5% for the fiscal year
2020.
