KROMI Logistik AG publishes H1 report for FY 2014/2015 - Seite 2

explains this expense development.

As a consequence, the Group reported EUR 130 thousand of earnings before
interest and tax (EBIT) for the first six months of 2014/2015, a slight
increase compared with the previous year's EUR 85 thousand. When adjusted
for expenses arising from unrealised valuation losses, pure operating
earnings stood at EUR 457 thousand (previous year: EUR 498 thousand). At
the bottom line, KROMI Logistik reported a consolidated net loss of EUR
-194 thousand (previous year: EUR -224 thousand).

"We look back on a first half of our 2014/2015 fiscal year that was
challenging, but satisfactory overall, during which we reported slight
growth in both sales revenue and EBIT. The rise in our gross profit margin
to 24.9%, compared with 23.8% at the end of the 2013/2014 fiscal year, is
also pleasing. These key indicators reflect our business model's intrinsic
value and stability. We are convinced that we can continue to achieve
successive revenue growth in combination with rising profitability," as
Jörg Schubert commented. In this connection, the Managing Board is
confirming its forecast of realising revenue growth in the upper
single-digit percentage range on a full-year view. KROMI Logistik is also
aiming for further EBIT growth, given stable economic trends.

Over the course of the day, KROMI Logistik will make its full (IFRS) report
for the first six months of its 2014/2015 fiscal year available for
downloading on its website at www.kromi.de within the Investor Relations
area.
