Ad-hoc release pursuant to Section 15 of the German Securities Trading Act
(WpHG)

The BayWa Group achieves considerable increases in revenue and profit in
the first half-year

The BayWa Group, a Munich-based trading and services company, continued its
good start to the season and achieved considerable increases in the second
quarter of the current financial year. At the end of six months, revenue
came to EUR 4.4 billion, which is 28.3 percent higher in comparison with
the previous year’s period.

The Group raised ordinary profit to around EUR 80 million, which is EUR 40
million more as against the first six months of 2007. The remarkable leap
in profit was mainly attributable to the Agriculture Segment which used the
favourable market situation to boost revenue and earnings.

The Group will be releasing further figures and detailed information on the
development of its individual business segments in its half-yearly report
and at a press conference to be held on 7 August.
