Inside Information according to Article 17 MAR

secunet Security Networks AG:
further improvement in the outlook for the 2016 financial year

[Essen, 12 December 2016] The Management Board at secunet Security Networks
AG (ISIN DE0007276503, WKN 727650) has raised its forecast for the 2016
financial year: they anticipate revenue of around 114 million euros and
earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) of around 13 million euros (2015
financial year: revenue 91.1 million euros, EBIT 8.6 million euros). This
further improvement in the revenue forecast (last status dated 15 November
2016: revenue about 105 million euros, EBIT about 10 million euros) is due
to advanced call-off orders from existing contracts in the product
business. The income from hardware and licences actually anticipated for
the year 2017 is now leading to a considerable increase in the EBIT
expectations to about 13 million euros.
