Amadeus FiRe AG:
9-months results of fiscal year 2014

Frankfurt/Main, October 23, 2014. After nine months of fiscal year 2014
Amadeus FiRe group achieved consolidated sales revenues of EUR 119,301k, an
increase of 12.7% on prior year. There was the same number of billable days
in the reporting period as in the same period of the previous year. All
services of the Amadeus FiRe Group contributed to the sales improvement.

- Temporary staffing + 15%

- Interim and project management + 8%

- Permanent placement + 10%

- Training + 5%

At EUR 50,434k, the gross profit after three quarters is up 12.7% on the
previous year's figure of EUR 44,752k. The gross profit margin was
unchanged year-on-year at 42.3%. Slight improvements in the margins of all
three personnel services were neutralised by a decline in the margin for
training services.

Selling and administrative expenses increased to EUR 30,788k (previous
year: EUR 27,671k). The increase of 11,3% was essentially due to personnel
expenses. In addition to general salary increases and additional staff in
the sales organisation, expenses for performance-based remuneration rose
significantly.

EBITA climbed by EUR +2.559k or 14.9% to EUR 19,690k (previous year: EUR
17,133k). The EBITA margin improved by 0.3 percentage points to 16.5%
(previous year: 16.2%).

Earnings per share reach EUR 2.51 (previous year: EUR 2.18).

The goal of Amadeus FiRe sales organisation to increase productivity was
achieved during the third quarter successfully. The demand situation for
the services of the Amadeus FiRe Group has reduced slightly recently. As
well macroeconomic factors develop worse than assumed. Based on the
improved productivity level and the current order situation, the Management
Board maintains the expectations that sales will exceed EUR 150 million and
to achieve a higher operating result compared to fiscal year 2013.
