Vienna, Austria, April 29, 2008 - In the 2007 financial year the

favourable market environment, further internationalisation of the 
company's business operations, targeted selling price policies and 
consistent cost management.

* Proposal to the Annual General Meeting
During the period under review, consolidated sales rose by 5.9 % to 
EUR 607.8 million and operating profit (EBIT) climbed 
disproportionately by 26.0%, to EUR 63.9 million. Due to the negative
financial result, earnings before tax only rose slightly by 9.8% 
above the previous year's level, to EUR 59.6 million. The main reason
was the massive crisis on international capital markets, which 
resulted in a negative financial result of minus EUR 4.3 million. 
After deducting minority interests, the consolidated net profit for 
the year 2007 totalled EUR 44.6 million, an increase of 11.5%.
Group equity rose by 11.1% to 280.0 Mio. EUR, the equity ratio of the
Semperit Group increased from 55.3% to in the pervious year to the 
current level of 58.7%. Gross cash flow increased by 21.1% in the 
2007 financial year, to EUR 82.9 million. Cash and cash equivalents 
at the balance sheet date amounted to EUR 70.3 million, or EUR 20.4 
million above the previous year's level.
Management will be recommending an increase in the dividend from 84 
cent per share for 2006 to 95 cent per share for 2007 at the upcoming
Annual General Meeting.
Semperit is confident to once again announce record business results 
for the 2008 financial year. The Semperit Group expects to maintain 
its growth path with increased sales and earnings based on efficiency
improvements, an even quicker realisation of measures designed to 
respond to raw material price hikes and capacity expansion in 
selected production plants.
The annual report and the annual financial report are now available 
on our homepage www.semperit.at as well as the invitation and agenda 
of the Annual General Meeting, taking place on May 20, 2008.
