Berlin, 12 May 2015. Tele Columbus Group, the third largest German cable network operator, started the financial year 2015 with gains in all relevant key figures. Revenues grew by 2.2% year on year to EUR 53.6 million in the first quarter of 2015. Normalised EBITDA grew significantly by 11.7% year on year to EUR 24.4 million in Q1 2015, showing continuously strong momentum. Operating margin improved to 45.5% of revenue in Q1 2015 compared to 41.6% in Q1 2014. Tele Columbus continues to invest in its network and technology capabilities. This is reflected in Q1 2015 capital expenditures (Capex) of EUR 15 million which is more than twice the Q1 2014 Capex of EUR 6 million.

The ongoing growth is particularly due to Tele Columbus' high-performance network and the company's success in selling new products to existing customers. As of 31 March 2015, approximately 56% of Tele Columbus' homes connected were upgraded for two-way communication and connected to its own Level 3 network, compared to 55% at the end of the previous year and 53% in 31 March 2014.

Supported by ongoing product innovation and network upgrades, Internet RGUs reached 208,000 at the end of the first quarter 2015 (+13.5% yoy) and Telephony RGUs increased to 175,000 (+13.5% yoy). Compared to the first quarter 2014, the total number of revenue generating units (RGUs) increased from 1.81 to 1.84 million, and subscription of Tele Columbus' services reached 1.46 RGUs per subscriber versus 1.42 RGUs per subscriber at the end of Q1 2014. Tele Columbus' customer base remained fairly stable at 1.26 million subscribers compared to 1.27 million subscribers in the previous year. Monthly average

revenue per user (ARPU) for the first quarter increased from EUR 13.8 to EUR 14.1 compared to the same period in 2014.

Recent developments

In April 2015, Tele Columbus Group acquired several cable network assets with approximately 18.000 homes connected primarily in Eastern Germany. The assets fit well into the ongoing growth and migration strategy providing potential for cross- and upselling additional services.

Tele Columbus has demonstrated the strength of its high performing network by introducing bandwidths of 400 Mbit/s in April 2015 - a new record high in the German consumer market. This offer was launched in Potsdam and is planned to be extended to a broader customer base in the future.

Guidance for the full year 2015 affirmed

Based on the first quarter positive developments of further network migrations and product mix evolving towards higher gross margin products, the Management Board of Tele Columbus confirms its guidance for the full fiscal year 2015:

- revenue growth of between 4.0% to 6.0%,

- an expansion of Normalised EBITDA margin to more than 47.5%,

- Capex between EUR 110 to 120 million,

- to increase the level of two-way upgraded networks connected to own signal to more than 60% by year end,

- to maintain a target leverage of 3.0 to 4.0 times Normalised EBITDA.

In view of the investment requirements over the next few years and in light of current leverage, Tele Columbus does not expect to propose a dividend for fiscal year 2015.

Summary table for Q1 2015 and Q1 2014:

¹ Includes RFC Radio-, Fernseh- u. Computertechnik GmbH which Tele Columbus repurchased in January 2015

² We define Normalized EBITDA as earnings before financial result (income from investments in associates, interest income, interest expenses and other financial results by the equity method) income taxes, amortisation of intangible assets and goodwill, adjusted for
extraordinary expenses.
