Bechtle AG to close 2011 with new records.

Neckarsulm, 02/02/2012 - Bechtle AG has achieved its ambitious growth
targets for 2011. Preliminary figures suggest record revenues amounting to
some 2 bn euros, an increase of nearly 16 per cent compared to 2010.
Earnings before taxes (EBT) climbed by around 39 per cent to 86 million
euros. This represents a significant increase in the EBT margin to 4.3 per
cent from 3.6 per cent in the previous year.

Despite the economy's slowing momentum over the course of the year, Bechtle
was able to top the fourth quarter of 2010-the strongest quarter in the
company's history-in terms of both revenue and earnings. October through
December 2011 showed an increase in group revenues from 566 million euros
to around 585 million euros. EBT increased of approximately 6 per
cent to some 26.2 million euros (previous year: 24.6 million euros).

'For us, the 2011 fiscal year was a great success with excellent results.
In the fourth quarter, we were even able to slightly exceed our own record
figures from the previous year-despite a rather turbulent economy. I'm
especially pleased that we were not only able to achieve our ambitious
target of 2 bn euros in revenues, but at the same time could generate an
above-average increase in EBT,' explains Dr. Thomas Olemotz, CEO of Bechtle
AG.

Bechtle AG is due to release all confirmed figures for the fiscal year 2011
on Thursday, 15 March 2012.
