• Revenues up 34% year-on-year
• EBIT up around 80% to EUR 10.2 million
Hanover, April 3, 2007 - Delticom AG (WKN 514680, ISIN DE0005146807, 
stock market symbol DEX) has recorded a substantial year-on-year 
increase in its results. According to the current figures, the 
Delticom group recorded revenues totaling EUR 173.1 million in fiscal
year 2006. This corresponds to an increase of 34.0 % over the 
previous year (EUR 129.2 million). The strongest sales driver in 
fiscal year 2006 was the eCommerce segment, where the Internet tire 
sales company recorded above average revenue growth of 42.2% to EUR 
155.2 million (previous year: EUR 109.2 million). EBIT was up 
year-on-year by 78.9% to EUR 10.2 million (previous year: EUR 5.7 
million). Consolidated net income increased from EUR 3.3 million in 
2005 by 90.9% to EUR 6.3 million. This corresponds to basic earnings 
per share of EUR 1.97 (previous year: EUR 1.11).
In a year-on-year comparison, the Delticom group has improved its 
gross profit margin from 22.2% in 2005 to 23.5% in 2006. The EBIT 
margin has also increased by 1.5 percentage points to 5.9% (previous 
year: 4.4%). This improvement in margins is mostly due to more 
favorable purchasing conditions thanks to increasing order volumes 
and improved efficiency in marketing and logistics.
Although the unseasonably warm winter did not result in more winter 
tires being sold, Delticom was still able to increase its Q4 revenues
yet again. Compared to Q4 2005, the company recorded revenue growth 
of 45.4% to EUR 64.2 million (previous year: EUR 44.2 million) in the
final quarter of the year. This is due to the increased demand as a 
result of the new legal requirement for winter tires in Germany. In 
addition, Delticom was able to increase the proportion of its foreign
sales from 48.4% in 2005 to 51.3% in 2006. In total, the Internet 
tire sales company acquired 490,000 new customers in 2006, lifting 
the total number of Delticom’s customers to 1,248,000.
The Managing and Supervisory Boards of Delticom AG will request the 
General Meeting on May 16, 2007 to approve a dividend of EUR 1.20 per
no-par value share for fiscal year 2006.
