Delticom AG (German Securities Code (WKN)
514680, ISIN DE0005146807, stock exchange ticker DEX), Europe's 
leading Internet tyre retailer, has substantially increased its 
revenues, according to preliminary figures. With revenues of EUR 258 
million, the company hit the top end of its guidance for 2008, 
growing by 20% year-on-year (previous year: EUR 215.5 million).
More and more consumers are turning to the Internet to do their 
shopping - a particularly attractive option in difficult economic 
times. Delticom benefits from this trend: In 2008 Delticom acquired 
approximately 700,000 new customers. The company's customer base thus
increased year-on-year from 1.9 million to 2.6 million. At the same 
time, customer loyality grew still further: No fewer than 213,000 
returned to the 99 online shops to make purchases with Delticom in 
2008. Furthermore, the number of Delticom's service partners grew so 
that customers can now have their newly purchased tyres installed in 
one of over 24,000 garages affiliated with the Delticom network, 
thereof 5,900 in Germany alone.
Delticom succeeded in growing its business not only in Germany but 
especially in non-domestic markets. In the fourth quarter alone 
Delticom recorded revenues of about EUR 83 million (Q4 07: EUR 69.5 
million). ECommerce revenues for the past fiscal year totalled EUR 
237 million (2007: EUR 195.3 million, up 21%). Revenues in the 
Wholesale division were up year-on-year from EUR 20 million to EUR 21
million.
Rainer Binder, CEO of Delticom AG, draws a positive conclusion: "2008
was a successful year for Delticom. As Europe's largest Internet tyre
retailer, we were able to increase our market share. More and more 
drivers are looking for quality tyres at fair prices - and they find 
them with us."
At the beginning of 2008, the Board of Delticom AG guided for 
revenues in the range of EUR 240 million to EUR 260 million. "We hit 
the upper end of this range. In addition, we were able to combine 
growth with good margins. That is why we will also have reached our 
earnings target", commented CFO Frank Schuhardt. The company had 
forecast an EBIT-Margin of between 5% and 6%. Delticom AG will 
publish its full financial statements for the fiscal year 2008 - 
including an outlook on 2009 - on 30 March 2009.
Company profile: Delticom, Europe's leading Internet tyre retailer,
