MAN AG / Final Results

Release of an Ad hoc announcement according to § 15 WpHG, transmitted
by DGAP - a company of EquityStory AG.
The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement.

The MAN Group boosted order intake in 2007 by 17% to EUR19.4 billion
(up from EUR16.6 billion) within a congenial economic environment. MAN
boosted sales in 2007 by 19% to EUR15.5 billion.

Following its 64% surge the previous year, the MAN Group’s operating
profit was in 2007 again vigorously boosted to the new all-time high
of EUR1,730 million (up 57% from EUR1,105 million). Return on sales
(ROS) improved from 8.5% to 11.2%.

The nonrecurring result for 2007 was +EUR183 million. Thus the
earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) reached EUR1,913 million
(EUR1,105 in 2006).

MAN Group’s net income (EAT) reached EUR1,225 million (up EUR300
million from EUR925 million). The bottom line is a much improved EpS
of EUR8.24 (up 63%), excluding the nonrecurring result, an EpS of
EUR7.99 (up 58%).

Given the already towering order backlog throughout the business
areas and the related, in some cases lengthy, delivery periods, we
expect to report a volume approximating the prior year's. Sales by the
MAN Group in 2008 are expected to again advance, also due to the tall
order backlog, by over 5% above the 2007 figure of EUR15.5 billion.

Given our budgeted order intake and sales, we predict for 2008 an ROS
in line with the high level of 2007. This year will see another rise
in the MAN Group's operating profit.

During the past weeks, the MAN Group has gone through a corporate
rating process: The two agencies, Standard & Poor’s and Moody’s, have
rated MAN at A– and A3, respectively.
