München (euro adhoc) - Munich-based DATA MODUL AG is Europe's largest
independent display technology
company. DATA MODUL's leading edge display solutions, embedded systems and Easy-
Touch technologies are used globally in electronic engineering applications and
information systems requiring the highest quality standards.
DATA MODUL has confirmed the positive trend of the first two quarters in its
earnings of the third quarter of 2012. We have continued developing our
business model to become an intelligent systems solutions supplier with very
promising results. In the third quarter of the current financial year, order
entry increased by 11.4% to 37.2 million euros. Compared to the same quarter of
the previous year, revenue increased slightly to 35.2 million euros. EBIT for
the third quarter of the current year is 2.2 million euros and totals 7.3
million euros for the first nine months of this year. Net income for the period
has risen significantly, reaching the 2.9 million euros mark for the third
quarter of 2012 (previous year: 1.6 million euros) and totaling 6.4 million
euros for the first nine months of the current year (previous year: 5.2 million
euros). Earnings per share in the third quarter of the current financial year
amount to 0.82 euros (previous year: 0.46 euros) and total 1.83 euros for the
first nine months of the current year (previous year: 1.47 euros).

Despite rather modest overall developments of the global markets, DATA MODUL
expects revenues for the current year to remain at previous year's level. We
are very well positioned and are largely independent of individual markets and
therefore able to compensate for any market volatility. The upturn in the USA
and Germany, our most important markets, will be the driver for our business,
compensating for the difficult business environment in southern Europe. DATA
MODUL will continue to grow its R&D activities in 2012 and will prepare its
production and logistics center in Weikersheim for future growth. Even though
these investments may have a short-term impact on our earnings, we have laid
the groundwork for our future success.
Our shareholders will also benefit from DATA MODUL's bright future, as the
current development of our business and encouragement from analysts and
investors alike clearly indicates potential for our market capitalization.
