companies/9-month results
Hamburg, November 5, 2007 - MPC Münchmeyer
Petersen Capital AG, the  SDAX-listed asset manager, generated sales 
of EUR 144.9 million in the first nine months  of 2007.  The  10%  
decline  from  the  previous  year's  EUR  160.3   million   is 
attributable to the fact that equity placed was 8% lower than  in  
the  previous year (EUR 662 million vs. EUR 722 million) as well as  
to  the  previous  year's income from the sale of fund properties in 
an amount of approx. EUR 13  million. At 37.5 million, earnings 
before interest and taxes (EBIT) were down 17% on  the previous 
year's  EUR  44.9  million.  Consolidated  net  income  after  
minority interests  declined  by  13%  from  EUR  32.4  million  to  
EUR  28.1   million. Accordingly, earnings per share changed  from  
EUR  3.06  to  EUR  2.65.  As  of September 30, 2007, the MPC Capital
Group on average employed 305 people  (2006: 256).
In view of the diverse product  portfolio  of  established  and  new 
investment concepts,  the  Managing  Board  expects  the  placement  
volume   to   increase significantly in the fourth quarter. 
Accordingly, the equity capital placed  and the consolidated net 
income for  the  full  year  2007  will  be  in  line  with 
expectations, amounting up to  EUR  1.1  billion  and  up  to  EUR  
45  million, respectively.
"The  first  nine  months  of  fiscal  2006  were  characterised  by 
a   steady development  of  the  placement  volumes.  Continued  high
demand   for   ship investments  and  the  product  portfolio  of  
established  and  new  investment concepts that is available for the 
fourth quarter  suggest  that  the  placement volumes will increase. 
MPC Capital continues to evolve and to develop new  asset classes and
products for institutional investors and has  strengthened  the  MPC 
Capital brand by restructuring its sales organisation. All this will 
create  an excellent position and growth perspective for the coming 
years," said  Dr.  Axel Schroeder, CEO of MPC Capital AG.
