EANS-Adhoc: Delticom AG: Trading Update for FY 2010

  ad-hoc disclosure pursuant to section 15 of the WpHG transmitted by euro

Company Information
07.12.2010
Hanover, 7 December 2010 - Delticom AG (German Securities Code 
514680, ISIN DE0005146807, stock market symbol DEX), Europe's leading
Internet tyre retailer, once again raises its guidance for 2010.
During the last days, the extreme winterly weather across Europe has 
caught many car drivers by surprise. Heavy snowfalls have caused 
serious traffic delays, especially in countries where the winter is 
usually quite mild. The surge in demand has been amplified by new 
regulations in Germany, making winter tyres mandatory for the current
road surface conditions. Consequently, tyre sales in Germany and 
elsewhere have jumped to unanticipated new highs. At the same time 
tyre supply falls substantially short of demand, because tyre 
manufactures had ramped up their production only relatively late in 
the aftermath of the recession. As a result, winter tyre prices have 
increased starkly across Europe, driven by market-wide scarcity.
Delticom Management's guidance for FY 2010 from November 26th has 
been overtaken by the recent developments. On the back of strong Q4 
sales, the company should be able to grow 2010 revenues by more than 
+30% year-on-year (previous guidance: more than +20%). Due to the 
very beneficial pricing environment throughout the year and 
especially in Q4, profitability will be unusually elevated and thus 
significantly better than last year. Management sees a 2010 EBIT 
margin on the order of 11% as realistically achievable (previous 
guidance: around 10%, last year: 9.4%). Depending on how the next 
weeks will evolve with regards to demand, stock levels and prices, 
margins could come in even higher than currently estimated.
Delticom will not be able to sustain this level of growth in 2011. 
After three exceptionally successful years in a row and with 2010 
helped by the aforementioned extraordinary circumstances, negative 
base effects are inevitable. Assuming a return to normal business 
next year, Delticom should continue to grow its revenues, albeit at a
considerably lower rate. Furthermore, in a more balanced market, 
demand and supply should adjust and lead to less flurried prices. In 
comparison with this year's one-off step-up in profitability, 
Delticom's 2011 margins will thus most likely come back to well below
2010 levels.
Despite any burdening effects in 2011, though, Delticom remains well 
positioned to capitalise on the longer-term trend towards online tyre
retail.
