HAMBURG. August 14, 2007. D+S europe AG (ISIN: DE0005336804), leading solutions
provider for integrated and value-oriented e-commerce and customer contact
management, reached another turnover and earnings record in the second quarter
of 2007. In the second quarter turnover increased by 25.6% from EUR 38.7 million
in the same quarter a year before to EUR 48.6 million. EBIT rose
over-proportionally by 52.5% from EUR 4.0 million in the comparable period of
the previous year to EUR 6.1 million thus clearly exceeding the previously
communicated expected EBIT of EUR 5.5 million. Earnings per share rose from 8
cents in the second quarter of 2006 to 9 cents in the second quarter of 2007.

Due to the strong operative growth in the two quarters total Group turnover
increased by 23.3% from EUR 74.7 million in the same period of the previous year
to EUR 92.1 million in the first half-year of 2007. In 2007 D+S europe AG
increased its EBIT by 30.6% to EUR 11.1 million compared with EUR 8.5 million in
the comparable period a year before. Earnings per share - adjusted for one-off
expenses in the amount of 1 cent - rose to 18 cents in the first half-year of
2007. In the first half-year of 2006 EpS adjusted for one-time tax effects stood
at 14 cents.

The 100-percent takeover of the e-commerce service provider Heycom as of July 1,
2007 in connection with a continuing strong organic growth will lead to another
clear leap in earnings to an EBIT in the amount of over EUR 22 million in the
2nd half of 2007. The new segment D+S e-commerce and fulfillment will be one of
the strongest future growth drivers of the Group.

For the entire business year of 2007 D+S europe AG expects an increase in
turnover of 45% from EUR 164.8 million in 2006 to about EUR 240 million.
Moreover, the Group plans an over-proportional EBIT increase by 75% to over EUR
33 million in 2007. Given this development, adjusted earnings per share (EpS)
will amount to between 50 and 55 cents in the current business year compared to
35 cents in 2006. The one-time, non-cash relevant decrease in earnings of about
5 cents per share in 2007 resulting from the corporate tax reform effective from
2008 has already been taken into consideration. As of 2008 D+S europe AG will
then clearly benefit from the corporate tax reform.

For 2008, after initial full-year consolidation of the Heycom Group, D+S europe
AG anticipates a turnover of over EUR 320 million. For 2009, turnover is
expected to reach more than EUR 390 million. A further increase in EBIT of about
50% compared to 2007 to between EUR 48 and 50 million is planned for 2008. In
2009 EBIT is expected to reach an amount of EUR 60 million. Earnings per share
are expected to rise to over 80 cents in 2008. In 2009 for the first time D+S
europe AG expects earnings per share to reach over EUR 1.00.
