    Revenue and earnings forecast for the full year 2015/16 has been met.
    Management Board and Supervisory board propose to the Annual
    Shareholders' Meeting 2017 to pay out a dividend of EUR 0.15 per common
    share and of EUR 0.20 per preferred share (previous year: EUR 0,20 and EUR
    0,25).

    Sales revenues of the Baldessarini, Pierre Cardin and Pioneer Authentic
    Jeans brands increased in FY 2015/16 by 1.6 percent or EUR 3.6 million from
    EUR 228.7 million to EUR 232.3 million. Due to the discontinued business
    activity of Gin Tonic and the discontinuation of business with the last
    remaining large private label customer, sales revenues declined by EUR 7.7
    million as had been expected. As a result, total sales revenues in the
    fiscal year 2015/16 declined by a total of EUR 4.1 million or 1.7 percent
    to EUR 237.8 million (previous year: EUR 241.9 million).

    The cost-cutting measures initiated in the previous year sent earnings
    rising sharply in the reporting period. Group earnings after taxes
    increased by 79 percent from EUR 1.4 million to EUR 2.5 million. Thus the
    company has met his projections for the past financial year 2015/16. Ahlers
    had projected stable to slightly declining sales revenues and a notable
    increase at all earnings levels.

    The Management Board and the Supervisory Board propose a dividend of EUR
    0.15 per common share and EUR 0.20 per preferred share to the Annual
    Shareholders' Meeting, thus a 5 Cent reduction compared to the previous
    year (EUR 0.20 and EUR 0.25). The company intends to pay out EUR 2.4
    million (previous year: EUR 3.0 million). The dividend payment will result
    in a dividend yield of 2.1 percent for the common share and 2.9 percent for
    the preferred share based on the share price of November 2016. Thus Ahlers
    maintains its consistent dividend policy, which is characterized by
    reliable dividend payments and high payout ratios between 80 to 100
    percent, also this year.

    Detailed information on the Annual Report will be published on March 15,
    2017.
