- Result from core business before depreciation and amortization
increases sharply to EUR12.3 million (Q3 2015: -EUR4.9 million)

In December 2015, the Gigaset AG Executive Board adopted a far-reaching
reorganization of the group, with the objective of putting the company on
course for the market and competitive challenges in a changing market
through various efficiency-enhancing, production and personnel measures.
This involved the Executive Board pursuing a three-point plan aimed at
returning Gigaset to profitable growth in the medium and long term. After
the first six months of 2016, the Executive Board was able to announce that

depreciation and amortization improved sharply to EUR12.3 million (Q3 2015:
-EUR4.9 million), while the consolidated net loss for the year fell
significantly by EUR14.3 million to EUR0.4 (Q3 2015: net loss of EUR14.7
million). The free cash flow improved by EUR11.4 million to minus EUR19.3
million (Q3 2015: minus EUR30.7 million)

"Although consolidated revenue is lower year on year due to the general

"positive trends can be seen from all key figures on the whole." That was
helped in particular by the decrease in personnel expenses before
restructuring and in other expenses from core business. The restructuring
