Berlin, 22 February 2018 - According to preliminary figures, MBB SE (ISIN DE000A0ETBQ4), a medium-sized family business, generated record revenue of €403.1 million in the financial year 2017 after €332.2 million in the previous year and thus grows by 17.6%. EBITDA increased by 20.1% from €30.4 million to €38.0 million. MBB's net income before effects from purchase price allocations (PPA) amounts to €13.6 million or €2.06 per share (€2.04 after PPA). Both revenue and result thus exceed the forecast of €390 million revenue and €2.00 earnings per share.

The dynamic growth of MBB of more than 20% p.a. since its IPO in 2006 is expected to continue in 2018. Next to organic growth resulting from strong order intake in all subsidiaries, this development is driven by MBB's successful M&A activities. With USK, the MBB Group bought again a very successful medium-sized company from its family owners in October 2017. For 2018, management expects revenue of more than €500 million and earnings per share (before PPA) in the range of €2.60 to €2.80.

The Group's liquidity as of 31 December 2017 increased to €279.2 million after €77.4 million as of 31 December 2016. In the same time, net cash increased to €221.7 million (previous year: €22.2 million) of which €161.2 million are attributable to MBB SE. Given the excellent conditions for acquisitions, management strives for a stronger diversification and a revenue level of €750 million already in 2020, which was previously planned for 2022.

The financial statements for 2017 will be published on 25 April 2018 atwww.mbb.com.
