Q3 2013

Business development in the Film segment below expectations so far - Seite 2

of 2012 (CHF 72.5 million) to CHF 53.1 million. Due to investments in the
Film segment, current financial liabilities rose at the same time by CHF
36.2 million to CHF 172.2 million (December 31, 2012: CHF 136.0 million).
Accord¬ingly, net debt increased to CHF 119.1 million (December 31, 2012:
CHF 63.5 million) as of the balance sheet date.

Consolidated equity (including non-controlling interests) fell by CHF 9.2
million to CHF 102.1 million (December 31, 2012: CHF 111.3 million). This
development is primarily due to dividend distributions (CHF 9.4 million)
and the acquisition of treasury shares (CHF 8.2 million). Relative to the
significantly higher total assets, this resulted in a sound notional equity
ratio of 22.4% as of September 30, 2013.

The interim report as of September 30, 2013 is available for downloading
from the company's website www.highlight-communications.ch as of today.
