LPKF's earnings for 2016 impacted by non-recurring effects

Garbsen, October 28, 2016 - LPKF has decided to recognize extraordinary
write-downs in its risk provisioning in order to reflect the continued
weakness of the LDS business in particular. This will impact earnings
(EBIT) in the amount of EUR 6 - 6.5 million in 2016. The write-downs relate
to inventories and capitalized development costs. Liquidity will be
unaffected.

The Management Board had previously forecasted revenue of EUR 90-110
million and an EBIT margin of between -3% and +6% for the 2016 financial
year assuming stable global economic development. Excluding these non-
recurring effects the Management Board currently expects revenue and the
EBIT margin to be at the lower end of the previous guidance.

The comprehensive figures for the third quarter will be published on
November 14, 2016.

LPKF Laser & Electronics AG's shares are listed in the Prime Standard of
the Frankfurt Stock Exchange (ISIN 0006450000).

Information on key financial indicators can be found on page 49 of LPKF
Laser & Electronics AG's Annual Report 2015.
