Salzburg, 24 January 2011

Following the economic turbulences over the past few years, the PALFINGER  Group
resumed a distinct upward trend in  the  2010  financial  year.  Thanks  to  the
recovery of significant  markets  and  the  further  expansion  of  the  market,
revenue came to EUR 650 million in 2010, which is 29 percent above the  previous
year´s figure of EUR 505.4 million. The  acquisitions  carried  out  contributed
approximately 7 percent to the revenue generated. EBIT came to  EUR 35  million,
after being in negative territory by EUR - 5 million  in  2009.  The  systematic
implementation of measures aimed  at  optimising  the  cost  and  organisational
structure that had taken place in  previous  years  was  essential  in  bringing
about this exceptionally high increase in earnings. The EBIT margin amounted  to
approximately 5 percent.

Thanks to the pleasing earnings development, the Management Board is  presumably
going to propose to distribute a dividend of EUR 0.22 per share.

Outlook
It is largely owed to the flexible structures of PALFINGER that  the  Group  has
been able to turn the crisis to its advantage. Due to the fact that markets  are

expected to remain volatile, a further increase in flexibility has become one of the strategic pillars that will be reinforced in the future.

In the first weeks of 2011, PALFINGER saw a continued recovery of the market. From today´s point of view, management therefore reckons with a 20-precent increase in revenue for the 2011 financial year. The expansion of the market, in particular in the young areas of Russia and Asia, is to be continued and add to further revenue growth.

The above-mentioned figures are indications from a projected calculation based on IFRS. The final results will be published on 23 February 2011.
