H&R AG: Preliminary figures for the first quarter of 2015 - Seite 2

Cash flow from operating activities totaled EUR -3.0 million in the first
quarter of 2015 (first quarter of 2014: EUR -29.6 million); free cash flow
totaled EUR -8.8 million (first quarter of 2014: EUR -32.5 million). Total
assets decreased marginally from EUR 706.6 million as of 31 December 2014
to EUR 704.6 million at the end of the first quarter. Shareholders' equity
increased from EUR 248.9 million to EUR 267.1 million over the same period.
The significant changes since the first quarter of 2014 (shareholders'
equity at the end of the first quarter of 2014: EUR 187.9 million) are
related to the increase in capital through a contribution-in-kind
implemented in September 2014 and the associated inclusion of the majority
(51% of the voting rights) of the Hansen & Rosenthal Group's Chinese
businesses under the umbrella of H&R AG.

Based on the good preliminary quarterly results, H&R Aktiengesellschaft
expects the current trend to continue and therefore confirms its forecast
for 2015. On the earnings side, assuming the oil price stabilizes, H&R AG
still expects EBITDA to fall within a range of EUR 45 million to EUR 65
million.

Final figures for the first quarter of 2015 will be published on 15 May
2015, as scheduled. H&R AG's Annual Shareholders' Meeting will be held in
Hamburg on 19 May 2015.
