6 February 2008. 2007 followed in the footsteps of the 
record-breaking year of 2006 and means a further year of growth for 
the S&T Group. After having the best third quarter in the history of 
the company, S&T broke all its previous records during the fourth 
quarter of 2007. Sales increased in the fourth quarter by 21% and the
EBIT by 53%. According to the company's preliminary annual results, 
total sales increased by 14% and the EBIT by 7%. 45% of sales are now
generated with consulting and services, a field which will be 
consequently developed further. For 2008, S&T is expecting sales of 
560 to 580 million Euros and an EBIT of 15 to 17 million Euros.
In the 4th quarter of 2007, S&T achieved sales of 172 million Euros 
and an EBIT of ~6.9 million Euros, making it the most successful 
quarter in the company´s history. In total during 2007, S&T generated
sales of 524 million Euros (+14%) and thereby produced a result 
considerably above expectations. In addition, S&T achieved its aim of
growing significantly more than the market. Consultancy and services 
provided some 45% of the sales, in 2006 they produced some 37%. In 
2010, S&T wants to generate 60% of its business in this area.
EBIT Target Reached: 13 Mill. Euros The Earnings before Interest and 
Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA) provided a particularly
pleasing picture, increasing by 13% to around 20 million Euros. The 
company also achieved its EBIT goal of ~13 million Euros (+7%). The 
number of employees increased in 2007 by 37% to 3,150. 653 of these 
came by way of the takeover of IMG - more than 200 were new 
recruitments.
Share Price Rises Considerably: +18% Despite the difficulties in the 
stock market, the S&T share has performed at the end of the year 2007
with +18% higher than at the beginning of the year 2007. S&T 
concluded the stock exchange year 2007 with a market capitalization 
of 167 million Euros, compared with 140 million Euros at the 
beginning of the year.
Business Solutions Sales Increases by 60% The Business Solutions and 
Managed Services sectors were intensively developed and brought in 
the desired results. The sales in the Business Solutions area grew by
60% in 2007 to 150 million Euros. In the meantime S&T has become a 
leading SAP consultant in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) and in the
DACH region (Germany, Austria and Switzerland). In the Managed 
Services sector, S&T experienced an organic growth of 16% to 87 
million Euros. S&T has established itself above all as a supplier of 
Managed Desktop Services and was awarded several million-Euro 
projects. Combined, these two sectors together make up 45% of total 
sales. In the Enterprise Systems sector, S&T concentrated in 2007 
primarily on high margin contracts, which, in turn, generated further
service projects. As expected, the Enterprise Systems sector 
developed constantly to produce sales of 287 million Euros.
2008: Earnings in Double Figures Expected S&T's order pipeline is 
well filled - the company will continue, also by means of further 
acquisitions, with its undiminished growth. For 2008, S&T expects 
sales of 560-580 million Euros and an EBIT of 15-17 million Euros, 
thereby continuing to grow significantly more than the market.
