BERU Maintains Sales Forecast for 2007 but Lowers Earnings Guidance.

LUDWIGSBURG, Germany -- Despite the weaker first three months of 2007, the company maintains its forecast for the full year of increasing the Group's sales revenues by a low single-digit percentage. However, in a situation of increasing pressure on sales prices and margins accompanied by high prices for raw materials and energy, as well as a weaker aftermarket business due to weather reasons, BERU expects operating profit (EBIT) to fall to between EUR 47 million and EUR 50 million in 2007. With regard to net profit and earnings per share, when comparing with the prior year, the one-time extraordinary tax gain of EUR 7 million that was realized in 2006 also has to be taken into consideration. New orders and the ramp-up of new products are unlikely to lead to a return to more substantial growth before 2009.
