ots Ad hoc-Service: ProSiebenSat.1 Media AG <DE0007771172> Solid performance of ProSiebenSat.1 Group in the first quarter 2001

Munich (ots Ad hoc-Service) -

Ad hoc-announcement. The sender is solely
responsible for the contents of this announcement.
The ProSiebenSat.1 Group reports a solid performance in the first
quarter of 2001 despite a difficult start into the advertising year.
According to the preliminary figures for the first quarter of 2001
published today, the ProSiebenSat.1 Group generated consolidated
revenues of Euro 513.7 million in the first three months of 2001.
This represents a decrease of two percent, or Euro twelve million
respectively, over the pro-forma figures for the first three months
of last year. The slight decline in revenues was mainly attributable
to the fact that the television area was negatively affected by the
declining advertising market in January and February 2001. In March,
the ProSiebenSat.1 Group's channels reported a four percent increase
in revenues in comparison with March
2000.
The restrained start of the advertising year 2001 had only a
limited impact on the results of the ProSiebenSat.1 Group. With
regard to the results, the lower revenues were mostly offset by
reduced operating costs and the synergy effects due to the merger of
SAT.1 and ProSieben Media AG. In the first quarter of 2001, the
group's pre-tax profit was Euro 28.6 million, due to greater
investments in attractive programming. The group's plannings had for
the first three months of 2001 originally projected a pre-tax profit
of Euro 34.1 million. This compares to a pro-forma figure of Euro
45.5 million for the same period in 2000. In the first quarter of
2001, the group's pre-tax profit was only around Euro five million
lower than originally projected.
More information about the first quarter 2001 and the annual
report 2000 will be published this morning at our press conference
and corporate presentation at 10.00 a.m. in Unterfoehring near
Munich.
