the third quarter. At the same time, the Gigaset High Sound Performance(TM)
technology delivers brilliant sound quality even during handsfree calls.

In addition, Gigaset has launched the CAT-iq 2.0 certified cordless phone
A540 CAT on the market. The handset is the perfect complement for DECT
routers using the CAT-iq standard. The handset, which won the Red Dot
Design Award, comes in tried-and-proven Gigaset quality and offers
telephony, including in handsfree mode, in excellent audio quality (HD
voice) as well as the usual reliable phone convenience. The Gigaset A540
CAT also recognizes call lists and the central phone book in the router and
hence enables persons in them to be called back directly. It can, of
course, also be used to operate an answering machine, no matter whether it
is implemented in the network or on the router.

Business Customers
Revenue in the Business Customers segment increased again in the second
quarter of 2015, expanding by around 9% compared with the same quarter of
the previous year (Q2/2014). Growth was driven primarily by the business
under the "Gigaset pro" brand, particularly in France, the United Kingdom,
and the Netherlands.
The recently introduced Maxwell 10 product made a significant contribution
to this development and will continue to drive growth in the future. The
redefinition of the product portfolio continues to be pursued and will lead
to further product launches in the current fiscal year.
Regional expansion is being driven further - various regions are currently
being evaluated with a view to continuing to scale the expansion of the
market presence in the regions.

Revenue jumped by 71% in the first six months compared with the first half
of 2014.

In mid-January 2015, Gigaset presented a new and innovative product in the
field of networked electronics: the G-tag. The G-tag is a latest-generation
Bluetooth beacon that searches for, keeps an eye on and finds objects to
which it is attached. In the second quarter, the segment expanded its sales
activities relating to the product, successfully launching the G-tag for
online and retail sales not only in Germany, but also in France, the
Netherlands, Belgium, and Sweden.
