Linz, 12.11.2012. Quanmax AG (www.quanmax.ag) continues its positive development 
trend even in the third quarter of 2012: With a sales of 74.1 million Euros 
(22.6 million Euros in the previous year), a sales revenue of 232.3 million 
Euros (66.2 million Euros in the previous year) could be achieved after nine 
months. In addition to the S&T Solutions business which contributed 150.3 
million Euros (was not part of the group in the previous year), the major sales 
drivers with a contribution of 26.0 million Euros (16.6 million Euros in the 
previous year) were products from the "appliances" segment.  Because of the 
change in product mix with a higher share of solutions and proprietary 
technology, the gross margin could be increased once again: To 35.9 percent 
(34.5 percent in the previous year) in the third quarter and to 35.7 percent 
(30.5 percent in the previous year) after nine months. 
EBITA of the Quanmax Group was 3.1 million Euros in the third quarter and 11.1 
million Euros in the first nine months (2.3 million Euros and 5.4 million Euros 
respectively in the previous year). The consolidated profit was 1.8 million 
Euros in the third quarter and 7.4 million Euros in the first nine months (1.6 
million Euros and 3.9 million Euros respectively in the previous year). 
The liquid assets of the entire Quanmax group was 24.7 million Euros on 
30.9.2012 (29.9 million Euros on 31.12.2011). Owing to a strong third quarter, 
the operating cash flow was 3.3 million Euros (1.2 million Euros in the previous 
year) and 2.7 million Euros (-0.2 million Euros in the previous year) in the 
first nine months. The financing liabilities was 48.5 million Euros (53.5 
million Euros on 31.12.2011). The equity capital of the group was 60.6 million 
Euros (54.6 million Euros on 31.12.2011). The equity ratio of the group 
increased to 32.7 percent compared to 24.0 percent at the end of 2011. The 
short-term orders on hand amounted to 79.1 million Euros on 30.09.2012, the 
projects in the pipeline amounted to 203.9 million Euros. The figures of the 
last nine months and the orders on hand corroborate the annual expectations: The 
management therefore reconfirms the sales target of 330 million Euros and 10 
million Euros consolidated profit for the current fiscal year, in spite of the 
merger costs.
