ZEAL Network SE: ZEAL achieved strong earnings growth in the first nine months driven by a robust underlying performance - Seite 2

quarterly dividend payment of EUR 0.70 in December 2015 completing total
dividends of EUR 2.80 per share in the current year. The Group intends to
continue quarterly payments of at least that amount in 2016 and future
years.

Outlook for 2015
ZEAL reiterates its guidance from 2 September 2015. Assuming ordinary
course of business in the last quarter, ZEAL expects total operating
performance in the range of EUR 120-130 million and full year EBIT in the
range of EUR 20-30 million.

The strategic outlook of the Group remains unchanged with attractive growth
opportunities in the company's target markets. The Group remains well
positioned to capitalise on opportunities arising from changes to
regulatory conditions and relatively low internet penetration of the
lottery industry.
