DEAG sales double from EUR 13.7 to 26.3 million in Q1 - EBITDA rises by 30%

Berlin, May 28, 2009. DEAG Deutsche Entertainment AG (ISIN DE 005513907)
successfully started the new financial year. Vis-à-vis the prior year
period sales increased from EUR 13.7 million to EUR 26.3 million. Even not
counting the effect in sales of UK subsidiary Raymond Gubbay Ltd. and
label/music publisher DEAG Music consolidated for the first time compared
to the previous year quarter an organic rise in sales of 49% was recorded.
Both units contributed to profits and are important additions to the DEAG
core business. EBITDA rose by 30% to EUR 1.3 million. EBIT climbed likewise
to EUR 1.1 million (previous year 0.8).

Management board considers the positive first quarter result as a
confirmation of the optimization of the group portfolio implemented during
recent months as well as the further profitable growth potential in a
difficult economic environment. The company assumes that the positive trend
will continue during the business year.
