ots Ad hoc-Service: ProSiebenSat.1 Media AG <DE0007771172> ProSiebenSat.1 Group achieves revenues of Euro 514 million in the first quarter of 2001

(ots Ad hoc-Service) - Munich/Germany, April 18, 2001. Based on
preliminary calculations, the ProSiebenSat.1 Group achieved group
revenues totaling Euro 513.7 million in the first quarter of 2001.
The pro forma value in the same period last year amounted to Euro
525.7 million. The slight decrease in revenues, which amounted to two
percent, is mainly attributable to the business development in the
television area, which was affected by a difficult advertising
climate in the first two months of 2001. While the ProSiebenSat.1
Group's TV stations closed the month of March with a combined revenue
increase of four percent compared to March 2000, the TV network
recorded a single digit percent decrease in revenues for the first
two months of 2001.
In view of the rather muted outlook for the German economy, the
ProSiebenSat.1 Group anticipates net growth of up to four percent in
the television advertising market for the year 2001 as a whole. From
the start, the ProSiebenSat.1 Group's business plans have projected
to realize revenue growth mainly in the second half of 2001. For the
first six months of the year, the company expects its revenue
performance to fall slightly below the pro forma values recorded for
the same period last year. It is estimated that the demand for
television advertising bookings will increase substantially from June
onward.
The preliminary quarterly results for the first three months of
2001 will be published on April 24, 2001. The detailed quarterly
report will be presented on May 15, 2001.
