The GfK Group records a significant increase in sales and adjusted 
operating income
Nuremberg, November 2, 2010 - The first nine months of financial year
2010 were very successful for the GfK Group. The growth recorded in 
the third quarter underlines this success. According to preliminary 
key financial data, GfK´s sales increased by 10.8% in the first nine 
months of the year to stand at approximately EUR 931 million (prior 
year: EUR 840.2 million). 7.4% was attributable to organic sales 
growth. GfK uses adjusted operating income as a performance indicator
which increased by 33.6% to around EUR 120 million (prior year: EUR 
89.8 million). The Group´s margin (ratio of adjusted operating income
to sales) is at 12.9% after the first nine months of the year (prior 
year: 10.7%).
In its report for the first half year 2010, GfK already significantly
increased its forecast with respect to sales and adjusted operating 
income. The Management Board is confident that it will achieve the 
upper level of its guidance.
The quarterly report will be published on November 15, 2010.
