FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) January 31, 2008 -- Delticom : Preliminary revenues for 2007 at upper end of forecast

• Revenues total € 214 million – up 24% year-on-year
• EBIT between € 12.0 and € 12.5 million – previous year € 10.2 million
• More than 600,000 new eCommerce customers
• Foreign expansion gaining ground: Formation of Delticom North America Inc.

Hanover, 31 January 2008 – Delticom AG (German Securities Code (WKN) 514680, ISIN
DE0005146807, stock exchange ticker DEX), Europe's leading Internet tyre retailer, has

substantially increased its revenues based on preliminary consolidated IFRS figures.
Revenues have surged by around 24% year-on-year to € 214 million (previous year:
€ 173 million), at the upper end of the company's forecast (€ 210 – 215 million). At the
same time, EBIT of between € 12.0 million and € 12.5 million is anticipated for financial
year 2007 (previous year: € 10.2 million).

eCommerce revenues totalled € 194 million, up 25% compared to 2006 (€ 155 million).
Revenues in the Wholesale division were up year-on-year from € 18 million to € 20 million.

Delticom's strong growth in 2007 was again due to the ongoing positive growth in business at
its online shops such as www.reifendirekt.de. Delticom now has a total of 86 online shops in
30 countries. More than 600,000 new customers were acquired in 2007, raising the total
number of customers to more than 1.8 million. There was also constant growth in the number
of partner workshops: right now customers can have their tyres fitted in more than 20,000
workshops worldwide – with more than 5,000 in Germany alone.
In total, business with winter tyres in Germany was not as strong as in previous years: In

mid-December, the BRV (Bundesverband Reifenhandel – German Tyre Retail Association)
announced that a substantially lower number of tyres were sold in Germany in 2007
compared to 2006. This was due to reasons including the mild weather last winter and the
fact that sales in 2006 were inflated by new statutory regulations. As a tyre retailer, Delticom
was not able to fully break away from these developments, however it was able to increase
its revenues last fiscal year in contrast to the trend in Germany.
