m4e publishes final figures for fiscal year 2007

m4e AG - April 2008

 
The brand management and media specialist m4e AG (ISIN DE000A0MSEQ3, stock exchange code: MU4), which is listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange, generated consolidated revenues of EUR 13.66 million (on a pro forma basis in accordance with IFRSs) in fiscal year 2007 according to audited figures. Profit before taxes and interest (EBIT), also on a pro forma basis, and before one-off costs in relation to the IPO and the acquisition of Tex-Ass GmbH, amounted to EUR 2.56 million. This means that m4e AG once again exceeded the provisional figures for fiscal year 2007 published at the end of January 2008.

In accordance with IASs, m4e AG generated consolidated revenues of EUR 3.64 million. The Company’s figures are not comparable with those of 2006 due to the fact that it only became an aktiengesellschaft (German stock corporation) on May 1, 2007 and that the acquisition of its subsidiary Tex- Ass GmbH can only be consolidated from its acquisition date of November 15, 2007.

Thus, the Company’s final figures for fiscal year 2007 exceeded the Executive Board’s expectations. m4e AG achieved an EBIT margin of around 36%. Net profit for the period before minority interest amounted to EUR 901 thousand.

In 2008, the Company will continue its growth strategy, announced when it went public, and will also continue to expand its position as a central marketer of third-party and its own IP rights. The Executive Board is retaining its forecasts of target revenues amounting to around EUR 20 million and EBIT of at least EUR 4 million.

The 2007 Annual Report is currently being prepared based on the audited figures and will be available to download at www.m4e.de from the end of April 2008.
