* Due to the varying number of shares before / after capital increase,
there is only limited scope for comparing Earnings per share.

The recovery was due greatly to our domestic business with its refinery
operations. Its contribution to EBITDA in the first nine months of 2014 was
improved by EUR2.8 million to EUR18.9 million. International activities
achieved a nine-month EBITDA of EUR10.4 million. Our Plastics segment was
even able to recover slightly and improved its EBITDA contribution to
EUR-0.9 million. For the third quarter alone activities in the plastic
segment even generated slightly positive earnings.

When it comes to the final quarter of 2014, H&R Aktiengesellschaft is
expecting - on the basis of currently available knowledge - comparable
developments in terms of the business in particular and the market in
general. These will include sales of around EUR1.1 billion, and therefore
below those of previous years. The Board's expectations regarding EBITDA
are reaffirmed in the terms expressed in the report for the first half year
of 2014.

For further details, H&R AG refers to the Interim Report for the Nine
Months 2014, published today and available in PDF format under the Investor
Relations tab on www.hur.com.
