AT&S Austria Technologie & Systemtechnik AG / Results Forecast
Release of an Ad hoc announcement according to § 15 WpHG, transmitted by
DGAP - a company of EquityStory AG.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
For the fiscal year 2007/08, starting in April 2007, the Management of AT&S
Austria Technologie und Systemtechnik AG expects revenues between EUR 540m
and EUR 550m and Earnings per Share between EUR 1.60 and EUR 1.70. This
growth (revenue increase above 15% and EPS increase of roughly 30%) is
solely based on organic growth, mainly out of the Asian plants of AT&S.
From today’s point of view, this confirms that the loading softness in
December and January as well as the bad product mix in the running fourth
quarter are due to short term developments in the market. As a result of
the trend towards slim mobile phones and a rising share of 3G phones, the
demand for complex printed circuit boards will further increase.
AT&S will present its full year figures for 2006/07 on Mai 10th.
