Release of an ad hoc announcement pursuant to Art. 53 KR
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Baar, 28 March 2014 - IPS ended the business year 2013 with a consolidated
operating result (EBIT) of EUR -5.9 million and a consolidated loss of EUR
6.2 million. The 2013 result reflects the operational cost of the
production organization set up to fulfill contracted sales volumes. As the
total sales volume lagged behind expectations - mainly due to delays in the
ramp-up of customers' confirmed volume requirements and timing - the
absorption of the fixed organizational expenses could not be achieved.
IPS Group's joint venture company Airolux shipped roughly 1.4 million
pieces of Airopack to various customers including Procter & Gamble,
Elizabeth Arden (Ceramide), Method Products and Remark Groep (for its
brands Amando, Therme and Vogue) resulting in net sales of EUR 1.8 million
in 2013. On consolidated level this translated into net sales of EUR 1.0
million for IPS Group in 2013.

Outlook 2014
Based on the current volume forecasts of the existing customers and the
firm expectation that additional customer projects will start in the next
months, the Board of Directors and Group Management are confident that the
operational business of the Group will achieve break-even in 2014.
In the first 3 months of 2014 IPS Group's joint venture Airolux has shipped
approximately 2.9 million pieces of Airopack resulting in net sales of
roughly EUR 2.9 million. On IPS Group consolidated level this translates
into net sales of approximately EUR 1.5 million for the first quarter 2014.

IPS will publish its full 2013 annual report on 9 April 2014.
