Berlin, November 27, 2009 - MBB Industries AG (ISIN DE000A0ETBQ4), a holding company specialising in medium-sized industrial companies with sustainable value growth potential, continues to be profitable despite of a decrease in turnover and confirms the reported figures for the third quarter 2009.

For the first nine months of 2009 MBBs consolidated group revenue reached EUR96m after EUR141m in the equivalent previous year's period. Revenue attained EUR21m in third quarter of 2009 compared with EUR46m in the third quarter of the previous year. It should be taken into consideration that the sale of the Reimelt-Henschel-Group and the following deconsolidation by the end of May resulted in a significant decline in turnover.

Earnings per share was 46 cents for the first nine months of 2009. The nine-months-earnings reached EUR3.0m after EUR6.7m in the first nine months of 2008. Earnings for the third quarter of 2009 were at EUR0.7m compared with EUR2.0m for the equivalent previous period. This implies earnings per share are 11 cents.

As of September 30, 2009, MBB had liquid funds of EUR36.1m and a net cash position (liquid funds less Bank liabilities) of EUR12.2m.

For the year 2009 as a whole, the management board of MBB Industries assumes a turnover of EUR120m accompanied by a lower level of earnings compared to the previous year. According to management board, MBB's favourable equity base and liquidity position give a good chance of expanding the holdings portfolio through acquisitions in the current market environment.

The quarterly report is published today on www.mbbindustries.com.
