Hanover, May 23, 2007 - Delticom AG (German
Securities Code (WKN) 514680, ISIN DE0005146807, stock market symbol 
DEX), Europe´s leading Internet tire retailer, today published its 
full consolidated interim report for the first quarter of 2007. The 
first three months of the year are traditionally the weakest for tire
retailers. Delticom lifted its revenues in Q1 2007 compared to the 
first quarter of 2006 by around 52.3 % to EUR 38.9 million (Q1 2006: 
EUR 25.6 million). Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) 
increased from EUR -0.03 million in Q1 2006 to EUR 0.25 million. At 
the same time, net income for the period increased to EUR 0.37 
million (compared to Q1 2006 of EUR -0.04 million).
Revenues in the key eCommerce segment increased in Q1 2007 compared 
to Q1 2006 by 69.4 % from EUR 20.9 million to EUR 35.5 million. 
eCommerce has accounted for an increasing proportion of Delticom´s 
total revenues over the past few years. After the first three months 
of the current fiscal year, eCommerce already accounted for 91.1 % of
revenues compared to 81.9 % last year.
This division´s positive growth is mainly due to the significant 
growth in the customer base. The number of registered customers, 
i.e., customers who have in the past (including the current fiscal 
year) already bought tires from Delticom at least once, increased in 
the eCommerce division from approx. 833 thousand on March 31, 2006 to
approx. 1.4 million on March 31, 2007. In the first quarter of 2007 
Delticom acquired more than 125 thousand new eCommerce customers. It 
is equally pleasing that more than 62 thousand customers bought tires
at Delticom in the period under review who already registered as 
customers in prior periods (repeat customers).
Revenues in Germany continue to enjoy strong growth, but have been 
excelled by the growth abroad. As a direct result of Delticom AG´s 
internationalization, the ratio of foreign revenues continues to 
rise: Delticom posted revenue increases and improving market 
penetration in all 30 countries via its total of 78 online shops. In 
total, the eCommerce division registered sales in Germany of EUR 14.2
million (+45.5 % compared to the previous year), EUR 20.4 million in 
other countries of the European Union (+69.9 % compared to the 
previous year) and EUR 4.4 million in other countries (+14.8 % 
compared to the previous year).
"We can be very happy with the first quarter," commented Rainer 
Binder, one of Delticom AG´s CEOs. "However, the weather in March 
this year was incredibly mild. That leads us to believe that some car
drivers moved buying their summer tires forward from the second and 
third quarter to the first quarter. That means that it is not 
unlikely that the year-on-year increase in revenues and earnings in 
the second quarter will be lower than in the first quarter."
