EANS-Adhoc: Balda AG preliminary results: Earnings suffer from MobileCom business

  ad-hoc disclosure pursuant to section 15 of the WpHG transmitted by euro
  adhoc with the aim of a Europe-wide distribution. The issuer is solely
  responsible for the content of this announcement.
26.01.2011
• Sales revenues slightly above previous year´s level with around 140
million euros • Operating result (EBIT) before special depreciation 
expected to be in the amount of about minus 8 million euros (previous
year: plus 4.7 million euros, without India) • Operating result 
(EBIT) after special depreciation expected to be in the amount of 
around minus 38 million euros • Earnings before tax (EBT) due to 
one-off TPK special effect of around plus 90 million euros (previous 
year: 47.3 million euros, without India)
Bad Oeynhausen, 26 January 2011 - According to provisional figures, 
the Frankfurt SDax listed company Balda AG ended the 2010 financial 
year with sales revenues slightly above previous year´s level. The 
company had already commented in early November 2010 on the 
development of falling revenues as compared to the original forecast.
The operating result (EBIT) before special depreciation is expected 
to be in the amount of about minus 8 million euros. Below-target 
sales revenues for MobileCom in China, restructuring expenses and 
extraordinary depreciation on machinery and inventories all had a 
significant impact on the operating result.
The Balda Group generated sales revenues of around 140 million euros 
(previous year: 134.1 million euros, without India) in the continued 
operations in the 2010 financial year.
Taking into account the preliminary determined special depreciation 
in the MobileCom and Electronic Products segments in the amount of 
around 30 million euros due to the impairment testing undertaken in 
the annual financial statement process, the operating result (EBIT) 
is expected to be around minus 38 million euros. The operating result
(EBIT) before special depreciation amounts to about minus 8 million 
euros (previous year: 4.7 million euros, without India).
TPK valuation at market values Following the initial public offering 
of touchscreen manufacturer TPK on 29 October 2010 the reporting of 
the holding in TPK in future will be entered as a financial 
instrument at market values; until this date it was reported at book 
values according to the "at equity"-method. The revaluation of the 
TPK stake is carried out on the basis of the first quotation (220 
Taiwanese Dollars). In 2010 this had a one-off impact on earnings in 
the amount of around 124 million euros. Since TPK shares were 
classified as financial assets, a share of profits is no longer 
shown, only dividend payments. The evaluation of the TPK with the 
quotation as of 31 December 2010 leads to a further strengthening of 
Group equity.
Due to the unique impact on earnings based on the  revaluation of the
TPK holding, as referred to above, the Balda Group recorded an 
extremely positive EBT of around 90 million euros in continued 
operations in the 2010 financial year. In the previous year the Group
posted a plus of 47.3 million euros, without India.
All of the above numbers are still being audited. The Balda Group 
will publish its audited 2010 annual financial statements with final 
figures on 17 March 2011. A balance sheet press conference on the 
2010 financial year will also be held on this date.
