HAMBURG, 7 June 2007. D+S europe AG (ISIN:
DE0005336804), a leading provider of integrated customer management 
solutions, will continue to grow profitably. This was confirmed by 
Achim Plate, CEO of D+S europe AG, at today's Annual General Meeting.
The takeover of the Heycom Group announced in March 2007 ushered in 
the latest phase of growth for D+S europe AG, which has experienced a
strong upward trend for several years. "Assuming the corporate tax 
reform approved by the Bundestag goes into effect, we are 
anticipating earnings of over EUR 1 per share and sales of around EUR
390 million for 2009," Plate said. D+S europe AG has therefore raised
its profit forecast for the year 2009 by over 10%.
In the past years, D+S europe AG has evolved from a call center 
service provider into a leading provider of integrated customer 
management solutions. The successful integration of several 
acquisitions has assisted in this evolution. The Annual General 
Meeting fully endorsed the growth strategy of the management and also
approved the proposed capital measures to be carried out with the 
existing authorized capital.
The impressive growth of D+S europe AG continued unabated in the year
2006. Net sales rose by 49% to reach EUR 164.8 million, up from EUR 
110.9 in 2005. EBIT grew disproportionately by 95%, from EUR 9.7 
million in the previous year to EUR 18.9 million in 2006. Earnings 
per share, adjusted for one-off expenses, increased by 81%, rising 
from 21 cents in 2005 to 38 cents in the past financial year.
For the current 2007 financial year, D+S europe AG expects sales to 
increase by another 45% to around EUR 240 million and EBIT to rise 
disproportionately by 75%, reaching over EUR 33 million. Earnings per
share are expected to reach between 50 and 55 cents. If the corporate
tax reform approved by the Bundestag takes effect in 2008, the 
deferred taxes from existing loss carryforwards will decrease, 
leading to a non-recurring reduction of earnings by around 5 cents 
per share for 2007. The figures published for the first quarter have 
already completely confirmed the course of expansion set for 2007.
The positive effects of the corporate tax reform will be felt in the 
coming years, leading to a projected improvement in earnings as early
as 2008. With the commencement of the tax law, D+S europe AG 
anticipates earnings per share of over 80 cents in 2008, compared to 
70 to 75 cents without the tax reform.
