Change at the helm of the Supervisory Board of ElringKlinger

- Walter H. Lechler, long-standing Chairman of the Supervisory Board, to step down from his post at the end of the Annual General Meeting on May 16 and vacate the Supervisory Board

- Klaus Eberhardt nominated as new Chairman of the Supervisory Board

- Proposal for Bizerba CEO Andreas Wilhelm Kraut to join the Supervisory Board as a replacement member

Dettingen/Erms (Germany), March 24, 2017 +++ The Supervisory Board of ElringKlinger charted an important course for the future at its meeting convened on March 24, 2017. Having held leading positions at ElringKlinger AG and its predecessor companies over a period spanning 45 years in total, Chairman of the Supervisory Board Walter H. Lechler informed his fellow board members that he would be standing down from his post at the end of the Annual General Meeting on May 16, 2017, and would thus be vacating the Supervisory Board. In doing so, he is following the standard practice embraced by the family of principal shareholders not to occupy key positions beyond the age of 75. In 1972, Lechler became a member of the shareholder committee of the company formerly known as Elring GmbH. As from 1976, he was a member of the supervisory board of ZWL Grundbesitz- und Beteiligungs-AG, which together with ElringKlinger GmbH was merged into ElringKlinger AG in the year 2000. At that point, he became a member of the company's Supervisory Board, before being appointed its Chairman on May 16, 2012.

Deputy Chairman of the Supervisory Board, Markus Siegers, acknowledged Lechler's accomplishments: "In his supervisory roles, Walter H. Lechler was instrumental in shaping the Group's fortunes in terms of growth and market success. The Supervisory Board as a whole would like to thank him for his tremendous personal dedication, a sentiment also expressed at today's meeting."

In Klaus Eberhardt, an experienced manager and business leader has been nominated as a successor to Lechler. The election will take place during the Supervisory Board meeting to be convened on completion of the upcoming Annual General Meeting. Eberhardt can draw on many years of professional experience and has held senior managerial posts at various companies, which also includes the role of CEO at Rheinmetall AG for a period of 13 years. Aged 69, the degree-educated mathematician has been a member of the Supervisory Board of ElringKlinger AG since May 2013. In addition, he chairs the supervisory boards of Dürr AG and MTU Aero Engines AG.

The Supervisory Board will propose to the Annual General Meeting that Andreas Wilhelm Kraut be appointed to fill the vacant seat on the board. The 43-year-old manager, who holds a degree in business, is head of weighing technology specialist Bizerba SE & Co. KG, Germany. The fifth-generation family company employs some 4,000 people worldwide and generates annual sales of around EUR 650 million. "In Andreas Wilhelm Kraut, we have attracted to our Supervisory Board a young, dynamic, and - at the same time - successful executive of a global family-run group of companies. All of these credentials represent a perfect match for ElringKlinger," says departing Chairman of the Supervisory Board Lechler.

In addition, at today's meeting the Supervisory Board agreed to extend by five years, i.e., up to January 31, 2023, the contracts with Management Board members Stefan Wolf and Theo Becker, which were scheduled to end at the beginning of 2018. In taking this approach, it has ensured that the company will benefit at an early stage from managerial continuity at the most senior level. Dr. Wolf has held a seat on the Management Board since January 2005 and was appointed its Chairman/CEO in March 2006. Becker joined the Management Board in January 2006 and is responsible for operations.

ElringKlinger announces preliminary results for fiscal 2016:
revenue up, earnings before interest and taxes at prior-year level

- Revenue up by 3.3% to EUR 1,557 million, organically by 4.7%

- EBIT before purchase price allocation on a par with previous year at EUR 140.4 million

- Q4 2016: revenue improves by 4.4% to EUR 407 million, organically by 5.1%; EBIT before purchase price allocation stands at EUR 39.5 million

- Outlook for current financial year on March 30, 2017

Dettingen/Erms (Germany), February 28, 2017 +++ Based on unaudited, preliminary data, the ElringKlinger Group generated revenue of EUR 1,557.4 (1,507.3) million in the 2016 financial year just ended, up 3.3% on the previous year's figure. Taking into account the effects of foreign exchange rates and acquisitions, growth was as much as EUR 71.1 million or 4.7% in organic terms. The direction taken by exchange rates for the Mexican peso, Chinese yuan, and the British pound in particular resulted in currency translation losses of EUR 33.4 million in total, which is equivalent to -2.2%. The two entities acquired in 2016 contributed EUR 12.4 million, or 0.8%, to growth. The Group had acquired the Dutch distribution company COdiNOx Beheer B.V. in the first quarter; the latter was fully consolidated effective from April 11, 2016, and was integrated within the Group as Hug Engineering B.V. Additionally, certain assets of Maier Formenbau GmbH were taken over effective from June 1, 2016, for the purpose of strengthening ElringKlinger's tooling operations.

At EUR 140.4 (140.4) million, Group EBIT before purchase price allocation was unchanged year on year. This includes exceptional charges of approx. EUR 11 million from the first half of the year relating to the Original Equipment segment. Overall, therefore, earnings were in line with expectations, which had been adjusted by the Group in July 2016. The Group's earnings guidance had been revised downward to between EUR 140 and 150 million mainly due to delays in the migration of manufacturing operations to Hungary; this prevented the Swiss site of ElringKlinger from recording improvements to its performance. On publishing its results for the third quarter of 2016, the company had put in more precise terms its earnings forecast for the annual period, specifying a figure at the lower end of the aforementioned range. Based on its latest preliminary results, this target has been met.

"After three relatively weak quarters when compared to others, annual earnings were boosted by a particularly solid performance in the fourth quarter," said Dr. Stefan Wolf, CEO of ElringKlinger AG. This was attributable to a number of factors, including favorable market conditions, the sale of real estate by the company, and first and foremost the steady improvement in earnings at the Swiss subsidiary. "The improvement in our performance in Switzerland had a visible impact on the fourth quarter in particular. The same quarter last year had produced exceptional charges of EUR 13 million, whereas we have now seen a return to more stable earnings," added CFO Thomas Jessulat. "Progress made within this area has further strengthened our resolve to gradually streamline our site in Switzerland by reducing the level of fixed operating costs over the coming three years."

ElringKlinger will publish its full and definitive results for the 2016 financial year on March 30, 2017, together with its outlook for 2017.
