Koblenz (euro adhoc) - Koblenz-based CompuGROUP Holding AG today published the
full Annual Report 2009. As an innovator and early mover when it comes to
technology, CompuGROUP has now eliminated the printed paper version and instead
provides an interactive version of the report available online on the website
http://report.compugroup.com/english. This move saves costs, saves the
environment and provides for enhanced information content with easier access
and rapid navigation.

For the first time, investors are now able to track the results and the
strategy pursued by CompuGROUP Holding AG over the Internet. The online
business report offers users a number of benefits. For example, it is possible
to select individual Excel tables from the business report and use them
directly in your own calculations. With each click of the mouse, the requested
information - for example the different sites in 18 countries - may be
retrieved in a systematic way. Moreover, investors are able to `get to know´
chief executive Frank Gotthardt on a personal level. The CEO and company
founder talks about his strategy for success and his future plans in a short
video to elaborate on the key points in his address to the shareholders.

"We have spent the last 20 years to help doctors, dentists and hospitals move
from paper-based patient records to electronic medical records, and in that
process greatly enhanced the value of information" states CEO Frank Gotthardt.
"It is only natural that we will be one of the first companies to adopt the
same paperless philosophy when we share information with our shareholders and
others who are interested in CompuGROUP."

The content of the Annual Report 2009 follows the audited financial report that
was already published on March 16th this year. Even in 2009, the year of the
financial crisis - CompuGROUP managed to expand its international business
operations, to intensify customer loyalty and achieve record sales in a value
of almost 300 million euros (294.2). Earnings before taxes, depreciation and
amortization (EBITDA) were just under 60 million euros (59.1). In the last six
years CompuGROUP has grown by an average of 27% a year, driven by a consistent
focus on the health market and a strategy to combine IT-supported workflow
optimization for doctors and hospitals with the networking of all stakeholders
in healthcare. For 2010, CompuGROUP expects sales revenue of between 315 and
330 million euros and operating profit (EBITDA) between 67 and 73 million
euros.
