stock market/Preliminary sales figures
Hanover, October 30, 2007 - Delticom AG
(German Securities Code (WKN) 514680, ISIN DE0005146807, ticker 
symbol DEX), Europe´s leading Internet tyre dealer, recorded revenues
totaling EUR 146.1 million in the first nine months of fiscal year 
2007 - according to preliminary figures. The company, which has been 
listed since October 26, 2006 - almost exactly one year - on the 
Frankfurt Stock Exchange's Prime Standard, has thus lifted its 
revenues by 34% compared to the Q3 2006 figure of EUR 108.9 million.
This growth has been driven by the strong tyre sales to end customers
in Delticom's online shops, of which there are now 81. During the 
third quarter alone almost 190,000 customers made purchases from 
these online shops - bringing the total number of customers to 1.7 
million. More than 20,000 partner workshops in Europe, North America 
and Asia fit the tyres bought online to the customers' cars. 
eCommerce revenues in the first nine months lifted to EUR 132,2 
million - up 39% compared to the first nine months of 2006 (EUR 95.3 
million). 91% of the total revenues were recorded in this segment 
(previous year: 88%). Revenues in the Wholesale division were up 
slightly year-on-year from EUR 13.6 million to EUR 13.9 million. 
"Over the last months, Delticom has been successful in developing its
eCommerce business - both in the fiscal year 2007 to date and since 
our IPO in October last year," commented Frank Schuhardt, Delticom 
AG's CFO, adding: "We are well prepared to face the coming winter 
tyre season. A representative study by the E-Commerce-Center (ECC) at
the Institut für Handelsforschung (IfH - Institute for retail 
research) at Cologne University recently showed that our German 
online shop ReifenDirekt.de is around 24% cheaper on average for 
top-quality winter tyres than the other bricks-and-mortar tyre 
retailers in Germany. The Internet has become a widely recognized 
sales channel. Delticom's growth is in line with the trend: more and 
more tyres are being bought online."
Delticom AG will publish its full nine-month report for 2007 on 
November 21, 2007. In addition the Managing Board will present the 
company on November 12, 2007 at 9.00 am in Frankfurt at the German 
Equity Forum.
