4 Drillisch Semiannual Report 2005

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,

The Drillisch Group once again accele-rated its dynamic earnings performan-ce in second quarter 2005. The EBITDA (earnings before interest,taxes, depreciation and amortization),the most important earnings indicatorfor any mobile-communications ser-vice provider, surged 60.2 percent to8.5 million euros. This allowed us toachieve what for our industry is a clearly above-average EBITDA opera-ting margin of 10.2 percent.

The tremendous success of our dis-count brand SIMply was a key factorin driving the business. As early asmid-April we were the first providersto launch a “customer-friendly, no-gimmicks offer”. Now that other pro-viders have gotten on the bandwa-gon, we always guarantee our custo-mers the lowest-possible price withour new SIMply rate option called“Best Rate Matching”. We do this bycomparing the SIMply rate everymonth with five comparable discountrates and then billing the customerusing the lowest-priced model. This isour idea of rate transparency andputting the customer first.

You need only look at all the semian-nual earnings figures to see that pro-fit margins have not suffered as aresult: With a slightly larger subscriber

base of 1.637 million, sales reached161.9 million euros (minus 4.8 per-cent). This is a clear expression of thevalue-oriented customer-loyalty pro-gram we introduced last year, where-by customers are only subsidized inrelation to the gross profit achieved.Thus the EBITDA rose 40.4 percent to14.1 million euros, while the EBITDAoperating margin reached 8.7 per-cent.

The focus of our expansion strategy isprofitable growth. This is why we aremanaging the company on the basisof earnings and not sales indicators.For us, the widely used parameterARPU (average revenue per user) issimply not a satisfactory comparativeor management benchmark. Wewant to be judged instead on thekind of earnings results we achieve.And as far as we’re concerned, ourearnings are once again quite impres-sive.

The excellent achievements of firsthalf-year have given us cause toadjust our forecasts significantlyupward for the fiscal year as a whole.With 1.7 million subscribers weintend to post revenues of just under350 million euros. The EBITDA shouldreach 27.5 million euros and the EBT24.5 million euros. This means we areraising our earnings expectationsfrom May by 3.5 million euros.

The German market for informationand communications technology(ICT) continues to grow. In its mostrecent industry barometer, theGerman Association for InformationTechnology, Telecommunications andNew Media (BITKOM) reaffirmed thegrowth projections for 2005 it madein March, namely a gain of 3.4 per-cent to 135.2 billion euros. The rea-son: excellent business performancein the first half of the year and theprojections made by the surveyedmember companies. Sixty-nine per-cent of the companies expect a gainin revenues this year, while one thirdforesee sales increases of more thanfive percent (15 June 2005).

The penetration rate in Germany is87.8 percent with some 72.5 millioncurrent cellphone users. A recentGartner Research Institute study onthe German wireless communicationsmarket dealt with the issue of whatthe latest growth opportunities arewithin the mobile communicationsmarket. At the top of the list werepremium services such as MMS orInternet via UMTS. Discount provi-ders are being closely watched asthese are trying to make cellphonecalling even more appealing to thecustomer, thus boosting revenues peruser – mostly at the expense of fixed-network services (16 June 2005).

Technological breakthroughs in thefield of services and terminal equip-ment, which everybody was talkingabout in first quarter – especiallyaround the time of the CeBIT trade

show – have faded from the spotlightin this year’s second quarter. TheGerman mobile communicationsmarket is now concentrating on anew market segment: low-cost provi-ders.

A veritable flood of aggressively pri-ced wireless offers hit the marketduring this first half of 2005.Numerous established mobile com-munications providers, as well asthose from outside the industry,began making discount offers availa-ble. The customer profits from twofactors in this low-cost market,namely: simple rate structures thatbring more transparency to the pri-cing jungle and absolute rock-bottomprices. In return they get a basicallyno-frills service. The cell phonesthemselves are not subsidized, whichmeans these offers pertain only tothe SIM card itself. The primary sel-ling venue is the Internet. A similaritywith low-cost airlines is quite unavoi-dable.

The A.T. Kearney consulting companyprojects these discounters will hold amarket share of from ten to twentypercent. The decisive factor here istheir ability to establish their owncontent and added value in order tostay afloat amid the powerful compe-tition (Handelsblatt, 30 June 2005).

UMTS, or 3G, continues makingheadway in Germany. The range ofUMTS-capable cell phones has incre-ased significantly. More and moreUMTS data cards for working wire-less on notebooks are being sold.

Network operators still hesitate togive specific details on the number ofusers and average revenue per user.The only exception is Vodafone,which has expressed optimism.

According to company’s statementsabout 530,000 customers have used3G Services at the end of June.

Software Services

The IT market continues to showpositive performance in all sectors.Software suppliers and IT service pro-viders are reporting good businessand anticipate a renewed upswing insales during the current year (BIT-KOM, 15 June 2005).

A slight upward trend can also beseen in investment behavior. Accor-ding to a study on 2005 IT budgetsconducted by InformationWeek, it isthe German small-to-midsize-busi-ness segment that is increasingly pre-pared to invest in products, technolo-gies and services in order to maintaintheir competitiveness. One of thethings that small and midsize compa-nies are focusing on this year is opti-mizing their enterprise processes.

Second-quarter highlights includedthe Midvision/Midrange 2005 ITtrade show that was held in June inKarlsruhe and drew some 4,300 pro-fessional visitors. The show’s themeof IT innovations for small to midsizebusinesses had 131 exhibitors pre-senting multidiscipline and branch-specific IT solutions. One examplewas innovative document and work-flow solutions to structure and per-fect business processes from diversefields of application with an eye onboth practical use and cost efficiency.

As was announced in first quarter,Drillisch intensified its communica-tions with both institutional and pri-vate investors. The enhanced interestin the stock that resulted from thiseffort was reaffirmed by good quar-terly results and the guidance issuedfor fiscal year 2005. You can find thepresentations made for each road-show on our homepage at www.dril-lisch.de. We are continuing to moveforward and present the Drillischstock to a broad public in order tofurther expand our shareholder base.

The TecDAX in Second Quarter 2005The TecDAX rose 4.32 percent to548.84 points in second quarter,while the TecAll Share improved by3.40 percent to 689.93 points.

Mixed quarterly reports from themost diverse industries proved unner-ving to the stock market in Germany

at the start of second quarter. Thesituation on the international exchan-ges only got worse as a result of ner-vous liquidity situations stemmingfrom the American automobile mar-ket. The IFO index in Germany fell forthe third time in a row, which re-duced any willingness to take risks onthe stock markets.

Pessimism about the economic reco-very led to interest rates falling to ahistoric low in May. These low inter-est rates caused stocks to once againbecome a more interesting invest-ment instrument. German andEuropean stock markets broke awayfrom the sideways trend in the UnitedStates in June, as important econo-mic indicators (IFO business-climateindex, ZEW economic index) reactedto a possible change in Germany’sgovernment during early elections setfor September.

Sales and Marketing

Drillisch AG continues in its drive totake the lead position within themobile-communications marketwhen it comes to technology and pri-cing developments. The companywas the first in the industry to recog-nize the importance of the discountsegment and, as early as mid-April, todecisively pursue the cheapest-possi-ble prices with SIMply. By the end ofJune SIMply had sold itself to over25,000 customers with its around-the-clock flat rate of 18 euro centsper minute for calls to all Germannetworks – not to mention no basefees, no minimum contract periods,no minimum call volume and nobothersome airtime reloading.

Drillisch signed a service provideragreement with the fourth Germanmobile-communications operator O2

on 18 May. Starting in fall 2005Drillisch will be offering productsfrom all German network operators.One example of the kind of attractiveproducts O2 has to offer is Genion:the rate for those customers seekinggreater independence from fixed-linenetworks.

QuickTalk, the all-network push-to-talk service that turns cell phones intowalkie talkies, has posted very favor-able growth since its launch in Febru-ary 2005. Further-advanced softwareand greater selection of push-to-talkhandsets form a very solid basis forfurther marketing successes.

IQ-work Software AG is expanding itsrange of workflow-management sys-

tems and services through new pro-cesses, which include those for per-fecting the handling of invoices andcomplaints. In early April the en-gineering office GNUSE awarded acontract for implementing IQ-worksoftware. In late May IQ-work garne-red two new competent partnerswith the ML Group and Behrens &Schuleit allowing it to expand its IQ-work partner network.

Company Profile

Drillisch is a successful mobile-com-munications service provider. Specia-lized on Germany, Drillisch is thefourth-largest provider on (at the riskof being redundant) its domesticGerman market with an almost nine-percent share (in the service-providermarket). As the owner of contractrelationships with 1.637 million wire-less customers (as at 30 June 2005),Drillisch has the right to design andstructure its rates as it sees fit.Drillisch, with an EBITDA operatingmargin of 8.7 percent in the first half-year 2005, is one of the industry’smost profitable companies inGermany.

Customers know the company primarily through its VICTORVOX,ALPHATEL, SIMply, DIALING,QuickTalk, IQ-Work Software andDrillisch brands. Drillisch AG concen-trates on holding functions within thecorporate group. VICTORVOX AG serves contract customers (postpaid),while ALPHATEL Kommunikations-technik GmbH focuses on prepaidcustomers.

IQ-work Software AG develops andmarkets its proprietary workflow-management software designed tooptimize processes in companiesrepresenting the most diverse rangeof businesses and industries. Havingthis kind of IT expertise firmly ancho-red within the company is not onlyone of its most important competi-tive advantages, but also givesDrillisch cost and price leadership within the German mobile-communi-cations-service-provider market.

Staffing

There were an average of 350 indivi-duals (prior year: 373) employed in allthe group companies combined(including the executive board)during this first half-year 2005. Inaddition, the number of young peo-ple undergoing formal vocationaltraining within the group increasedto 12 (prior year: 10).

Net Worth and Financial Situation

Drillisch AG’s most remarkable attri-bute is its ability to boost shareholdervalue on a large scale through anincreasing free cash flow. TheDrillisch Group had cash and cashequivalents totaling 21.2 millioneuros at the mid-year mark. Thismeans that the company had some5.5 million euros in net cash inflowsduring the past three months, whichis more than 1.8 million euros ofadditional cash and cash equivalentseach month. Because of the highamount of cash on hand, Drillisch

cleared its bank avals as security withthe network operators at the start ofthe year. In their place it has deposi-ted 7.5 million euros directly with thenetwork operators. This move impro-ves interest earnings and eliminatesthe aval fees. Had these avals notbeen cleared, the amount of cashand cash equivalents as at 30 June2005 would have totaled just under29 million euros – almost 9 millioneuros more than at year’s end 2004.

As at 30 June 2005 the balance sheettotal had improved by 6 million eurosto 101.2 million euros compared toend-of-year 2004. This is evident onthe assets side primarily with theincrease in current assets (which alsoinclude cash and cash equivalents) of6.9 million euros to 57.3 millioneuros. The good profit situation hasleft its mark on the liabilities andshareholders’ equity side of thebalance sheet. And so shareholders’equity rose 8.2 million euros to 66.2million euros, which results in thecapital ratio improving to 65.4 per-cent. This is 4.5 percent more than at31 December 2004 and 9.9 percentmore than at the end of the samequarter a year ago.

Earnings Situation

Despite a slight slip in revenues, theprofit in the second quarter of thisfirst half-year rose substantially.During the period 1 April to 30 June,the EBITDA (earnings before interest,taxes, depreciation and amortization)surged 60.2 percent to 8.5 millioneuros. With a gain of 120.9 percent

Page 11: DRILLISCH AG - SEMIANNUAL REPORT 2005

Drillisch Semiannual Report 2005 11

B U S I N E S S P E R F O R M A N C E

to 7.5 million euros, the EBIT muchmore than doubled due to the chan-ged accounting regulations that tookeffect at the start of the year, whicheliminated regular goodwill amortiza-tion. This high level of cash led to anexcellent financial result, which iswhy the EBT (earnings before taxes)catapulted 117.2 percent to 7.8 mil-lion euros. At 4.7 million euros, theperiod earnings, or net income insecond quarter 2005, was 115.7 per-cent higher than that of the com-parable year-earlier quarter.

On a year-to-date basis, revenues inthe first half-year of 2005 declined4.8 percent to 161.9 million euroscompared to the first half-year 2004.The EBITDA rose 40.4 percent to 14.1million euros, the EBT increased 97.2percent to 12.8 million euros andmid-year earnings improved 117.6percent to 7.6 million euros. In turnthe earnings per share advancedfrom 0,10 euros to 0,23 euros.

Outlook

The outstanding business perfor-mance during the first half of 2005gives the Drillisch executive boardreason to significantly raise its ear-nings guidance for the full 2005 fiscalyear. With 1.7 million customers, weexpect revenues of almost 350 mil-lion euros. Thanks to the optimizedcustomer structure and the successfulwinning of new customers, particu-larly through the innovative SIMplyproduct, we now anticipate an EBITDA of 27.5 million euros. In Maywe were looking at an EBITDA for

2005 of 24 million euros. We expectan EBT of 24.5 million euros for thefull 2005 year – 3.5 million more thanthat of our May forecast. We areaiming to distribute a dividend in theamount of 0.31 euros per share inview of earnings per share expectedto be considerably higher than lastyear’s 0.20 euros (based on a corres-ponding number of shares).

Risk Assessment

Business activities go hand in handwith inherent risks. A company’s suc-cess is determined by the kind ofcare, foresight, creativity and skillswith which risks are confronted andturned into opportunities. TheDrillisch Group has a qualified risk-management system in place.

During this first half-year the risk situ-ation remained unchanged from thatof last year. Adequate precautionsand steps have been taken to handleany probable risk.

The risk to earnings has been reducedthrough increased margins per custo-mer. An efficient credit-check systemprevents major instances of delin-quencies and bad debt. A capitalratio of 65.4 percent, no bank debts,and cash and cash equivalents tota-ling 21.2 million euros put DrillischAG on the kind of solid footing foundin only very few companies on theGerman capital market.
