Ad hoc press release: Volume figures as at end of third quarter 2008
Satisfactory order and sales volume. Corrected result expectations.
The Mikron Group, a specialist in the production of machining and assembly systems, posted an order volume of CHF 193.3 million (-23.4%) and net sales of CHF 205.7 million (+9.2%) in the first nine months of the current financial year. The lower order intake volume was expected, given the high comparative value for the same period in 2007. Although sales rose, they did not meet expectations. Overall, however, sales volumes remained at a good level. Mikron is feeling the first effects of the financial crisis, especially the effects on the automotive industry. A selective adjustment of capacities will probably become necessary. The expected operating result (EBIT) will have to be corrected. The figure for the entire 2008 financial year will be lower than the previous year's figure.

Results of the Mikron Group for the first half of 2008
Order and sales volume at a good level. Profits further improved.
The Mikron Group, a specialist in the production of machining and assembly systems, achieved an order intake of CHF 137.0 million (-22.2%) and net sales of CHF 144.5 million (+18.2%) in the first half of 2008. Taking account of the unusually high order volume in the previous year, both of these figures fulfilled expectations. The operating profit (EBIT) of CHF 5.2 million (+30.0%) and Group net earnings of CHF 4.3 million (+48.3%) developed positively and were both higher than in the previous year. For the entire financial year 2008, the targeted improvement on the previous year’s results is within reach.

Volume figures for the first quarter 2008
Order intake at very good level. Significant increase in sales. Investor group extends its commitment.
The Mikron Group, a specialist in the production of machining and assembly systems, posted an order intake of CHF 84.8 million in the first quarter of the 2008 financial year and recorded net sales of CHF 68.3 million. Both values represent a very good level. Order intake (-2.9%) almost achieved the previous year’s extraordinarily high volume and exceeded expectations by a substantial margin. Net sales (+22.5%) are a reflection of the high order volume that Mikron achieved in the middle of last year. Achieving a significant improvement in operating profit (EBIT) remains the top priority for the 2008 financial year. The group of investors headed by Johann N. Schneider-Ammann is extending its commitment by another three years.
