Viscom AG: economic conditions determine adjustments of forecast for the year 2008


Viscom AG / Profit Warning

Release of an Ad hoc announcement according to § 15 WpHG, transmitted by DGAP - a company of EquityStory AG.
The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement.

Due to the recent events on the international financial markets and the arising implications for the real economy, especially the automotive and the automotive suppliers industry, it came to a considerable slump in investment decisions.

This is especially mirrored in current incoming orders of Viscom since September 2008. At the current point in time, Viscom does not assume that the originally forecasted business goals for 2008 can still be met. The executive board now estimates € 50 million to € 52 million in revenue and an EBIT margin between 1 % and 3 %. With the new forecast, the company differs from the original forecast of € 57 million to € 60 million and an EBIT margin between 7 % and 9 %.

Viscom will publish its figures for the first nine months of 2008 on 12 November 2008 as planned.
