2nd April 2008, Vienna. S&T´s success in 2007 has surpassed its own 
record results for 2006. The second half of 2007 saw particularly 
good results, with outstanding 3rd quarter results and the best 
quarterly results ever were recorded in Q4. This enabled the company 
to boost annual sales by 13% to 522.2m euros. EBIT rose 7% to 13m 
euros. In accordance with expectations, EBITDA rose 13% to 20.4m 
euros.
S&T made strong progress in the key units of service and consulting 
in the 2007 financial year. This included an expansion of operations.
Growth in 2007 was primarily driven by the business units of 
solutions and services, and IT consulting, which accounted for 45% of
overall sales. The S&T Group intends to expand these business units 
in 2008 in order to continue their profitable growth. S&T´s Business 
Solutions operations rose to 149.1m euros - equating to growth of 
59%. The Managed Services business unit also experienced considerable
organic growth - up 16% to 86.5m euros. At 286.6m euros (-2%), the 
Enterprise Systems business sector remained on the same level as 
during the previous year, although noticeable improvement in the 
business mix and gross margin was made.
Sales Driver - Industry Knowledge Within the S&T target industries, 
the manufacturing industry once again had the largest share of sales 
in 2007, with 26%. In this sector, S&T, with its comprehensive 
industry knowledge, is primarily active with companies involved with 
process manufacturing, plant and mechanical engineering and the 
automotive industry. Orders from the fast growing financial services 
sector equated to 21% of sales, with IT systems providing flexible 
and efficient support for the stringent requirements of this 
business. The telecommunications industry contributed 17% to S&T´s 
2007 sales, with public administration providing 15% and the energy 
supply business 7%. The area of retail finished the year with a sales
share of 14%, a sector in which S&T primarily addresses wholesalers, 
retailers and commodities. The companies in the S&T target industries
are becoming increasingly international and are active in Eastern 
Europe. They want to implement their technology and high IT standards
at all sites. For this they need a partner such as S&T, which can 
design international strategies and then implement them locally in 
all relevant countries.
Further growth forecast for 2008 S&T intends to continue its recent 
success in 2008. A promising volume of contracts in the order books, 
a successful business strategy and its realization, and the 
development of the local S&T (country) markets, will all contribute 
to continued profit growth. With sales forecast at 560-580m euros and
projected EBIT of 15-17m euros, S&T expects its strong growth to 
exceed market growth once again this year. The projections for the 
S&T markets continue to be good. S&T will utilize its potential and 
strategy to achieve double-digit EBIT growth.
