Hanover, 23 February 2011 - Viscom AG (ISIN DE0007846867) increased its revenue and earnings figures considerably once again in the fourth quarter of 2010, exceeding even the positively adjusted guidance for 2010.
In the past financial year, Viscom AG generated revenue of EUR 40 million, corresponding to a rise of around 91 % year on year (previous year: EUR 20.9 million). Revenue therefore considerably exceeded the Company's guidance of EUR 34 million to EUR 35 million. Targeted procurement management measures enabled Viscom AG to resolve procurement bottlenecks at short notice. By improving the availability of parts and employing temporary workers, the Company was able to deliver a larger number of orders than originally planned in November and December 2010.
Net profit for the period in 2010 amounted to EUR 10.5 million (previous year: EUR -13.7 million), also higher than the forecast in the region of EUR 4 million to EUR 4.5 million. The net profit for the period includes an one-off effect from deferred tax assets in the amount of EUR 4.1 million.

Due to revenue rising steeply and at the same time cost increases being only below average, earnings before interest and taxes came to EUR 7.1 million (previous year: EUR -13.9 million). EBIT include one-off effects from the capitalisation of company-produced assets (EUR 1.1 million) and the reduction of impairment losses (EUR 1.8 million).
In 2010, incoming orders amounted to EUR 48.2 million, clearly up on EUR 19.9 million in the previous year. Order backlog at the end of 2010 was EUR 13.5 million (previous year: EUR 5.3 million).

The final key figures on the Group's financial position and earnings situation for financial year 2010 will be published on 30 March 2011.
