financial year, Wirecard AG continued last year's successful performance.
Consolidated sales revenues in the first three months of 2011 amounted to

interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) were at 16.9
million euros. This includes non-recurring expenses of 2.3 million
eurosWithout these costs, EBITDA would have increased by 20 percent in the
first quarter of 2011 year-on-year, to 19.2 million euros.
After-tax earnings came to 12.5 million euros, resulting in earnings per
share of EUR 0.12. Cash flow from operating business activities, adjusted
for transaction volumes of a transitory nature, amounted to EUR 12.7
million.
The transaction volume processed via the Wirecard platform increased by 21
percent year-on-year, to reach EUR 3.4 billion. Constant growth rates were
recorded in our new customer business.

'In our European core business, we continue to expect dynamic market
development', says Dr. Markus Braun, CEO of Wirecard AG. 'In the second
half of the year, we anticipate additional positive effects from the
prepaid card business and our expansion in Asia'.
The Management Board confirms its forecast for EBITDA in the range of 81 to
90 million euros. At this year's Annual General Meeting, a dividend payout
of EUR 0.10 per share will be proposed.
