Wuppertal, 11 February 2016 - In the first nine months (1 April to 31
December 2015) of the financial year 2015/2016, GESCO Group generated
growth in incoming orders and sales and recorded a disproportionately high
rise in key earnings figures.

GESCO AG has adjusted its full-year guidance in the wake of this positive
performance. GESCO Group's most recently published guidance forecast Group
sales of between EUR 480 million and EUR 490 million. Now the company
expects sales to come in at the upper end of that range. The guidance also
put Group net income after minority interest at, or just over, EUR 14
million. Based on the information available at the current time, the
company now expects this figure to come in at around EUR 16 million.

The full quarterly statement for the first nine months of financial year
2015/2016 will be published on 15 February 2016.
