    KTG Agrar SE: DZ Bank AG raises price target for KTG Agrar share to EUR 22

    - "Buy" recommendation confirmed

    - Price target raised from EUR 20 to EUR 22 per share

    - Non-cyclical business model with growth opportunities in China

    Hamburg, 20 July 2015. Following the publication of the 2014 annual report,
    the completion of the capital increase and the planned strategic
    partnership, DZ Bank AG has confirmed the "buy" recommendation for the KTG
    Agrar SE share (ISIN: DE000A0DN1J4). The price target has been raised from
    EUR 20 to EUR 22 per share. This means that the analysts see approximately
    41% upside potential in the share price (XETRA closing price on 17 July
    2015: EUR 15.55).

    Noting the solid business performance in 2014 with earnings before interest
    and taxes (EBIT) at EUR 37.1 million and net income at EUR 6.4 million, the
    analysts anticipate continued growth in the upcoming years, driven in
    particular by the food segment and the group's high-margin energy
    production business. The analysts expect EBIT to increase to EUR 42.7
    million and net income to rise to EUR 15.4 million (EUR 2.21 per share) in
    2016. Moving forward to 2017, EBIT and net income are expected to climb to
    EUR 46.4 million and EUR 18.5 million, respectively. The significant growth
    potential existing in China for quality foods produced by KTG are not
    included in these estimates.

    DZ Bank take a bullish view of the short-term future as well, explaining
    that the recent pick-up in the prices of agricultural commodities -
    especially in grains - and the acquisition in the biogas area should
    support a good first-half result and a positive outlook for the full year.
