Bechtle turns in record figures

  - Revenue up by some 9.5% 

  - EBT climbs by approximately 20% to some EUR129m

  - EBT margin at around 4.6%

Neckarsulm, 4.2.16 - According to preliminary figures, Bechtle AG is
looking back on another year of dynamic growth. Revenue has increased by
some 9.5% from EUR2.58bn to around EUR2.82bn. This growth has been
supported in almost equal measure by both the IT System House & Managed
Services and IT E-commerce segments. EBT rose at an even higher rate of
approximately 20% to an expected EUR129m (previous year: EUR107.4m). The
EBT margin improved from 4.2% in the previous year to around 4.6%.

"We are very pleased with the past business year. This shows significant
improvement over 2014 in each quarter. In particular, the robust final
quarter was a vital contribution to what turned out to be another record
year. This year, too, we aim to significantly step up both revenue and
earnings", says Dr Thomas Olemotz, Chairman of Bechtle AG's Executive
Board.

Bechtle AG is due to release all confirmed figures for the 2015 fiscal year
on 16 March 2016.
