2009 financial year, itelligence AG increased its revenues by 1.6% from
MEUR 216.6 in the previous year to MEUR 220.0. Accordingly, revenues for
2009 were within the forecasted range of between MEUR 220 and 230. In the
fourth quarter of 2009, revenues amounted to MEUR 61.7 compared with MEUR
62.5 in the same period of the previous year. Orders on hand increased over
the course of 2009 to total MEUR 162.8 at December 31, 2009 (September 30,

Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) amounted to MEUR 12.3 in 2009
after MEUR 13.6 in 2008. The EBIT margin for the past fiscal year totaled
5.6% compared with 6.3% in the previous year. itelligence AG had originally
forecasted a margin of between 4.7% and 5.2%. In the fourth quarter in
particular, EBIT improved significantly by 35.9% from MEUR 3.9 in the

despite the difficult market environment in the fiscal year 2009 and was
able to exceed its earnings forecasts also thanks to a cost saving program.
