balance/companies
31 January 2008 - Delticom AG (German
Securities Code (WKN) 514680, ISIN DE0005146807, stock exchange 
ticker DEX), Europe's leading Internet tyre retailer, has 
substantially increased its revenues based on preliminary 
consolidated IFRS figures. Revenues have surged by around 24% 
year-on-year to EUR 214 million (previous year: EUR 173 million), at 
the upper end of the company's forecast (EUR 210 - 215 million). At 
the same time, EBIT of between EUR 12.0 million and EUR 12.5 million 
is anticipated for financial year 2007 (previous year: EUR 10.2 
million).
eCommerce revenues totalled EUR 194 million, up 25% compared to 2006 
(EUR 155 million). Revenues in the Wholesale division were up 
year-on-year from EUR 18 million to EUR 20 million.
Delticom's strong growth in 2007 was again due to the ongoing 
positive growth in business at its online shops such as 
www.reifendirekt.de. Delticom now has a total of 86 online shops in 
30 countries. More than 600,000 new customers were acquired in 2007, 
raising the total number of customers to more than 1.8 million. There
was also constant growth in the number of partner workshops: right 
now customers can have their tyres fitted in more than 20,000 
workshops worldwide - with more than 5,000 in Germany alone.
In total, business with winter tyres in Germany was not as strong as 
in previous years: In mid-December, the BRV (Bundesverband 
Reifenhandel - German Tyre Retail Association) announced that a 
substantially lower number of tyres were sold in Germany in 2007 
compared to 2006. This was due to reasons including the mild weather 
last winter and the fact that sales in 2006 were inflated by new 
statutory regulations. As a tyre retailer, Delticom was not able to 
fully break away from these developments, however it was able to 
increase its revenues last fiscal year in contrast to the trend in 
Germany.
International sales markets also became more important for Delticom 
in 2007. A key milestone in the company's internationalization 
strategy is the recently completed formation of Delticom North 
America Inc. in Portland, Oregon, USA. The Delticom Group is thus 
further expanding its presence in the North American online tyre 
market, creating the foundations for long-term sustainable growth 
into the US market. "Forming our own subsidiary in North America puts
us right where our American customers are," commented Philip von 
Grolman, the Managing Board member responsible for the company's 
North American business.
Rainer Binder, a member of Delticom AG's Managing Board and Co-CEO 
commented on the preliminary revenues: "Fiscal year 2007 was 
excellent for Delticom. Although developments in the German market 
were not particularly pleasing, we were still able to reach our 
targets for 2007 as a high-growth, internationally oriented company. 
And what's most important: as the cost leader we were again able to 
combine growth with high margins."
Delticom will publish its full 2007 financial statements on 26 March 
2008 on its Web site (www.delti.com) in the Investor Relations 
section.
