DGAP-Adhoc: Biotest AG: Outlook revised

Biotest AG / Key word(s): Change in Forecast 11.08.2014 20:23 Dissemination of an Ad hoc announcement according to Â§ 15 WpHG, transmitted by DGAP - a service of EQS Group AG. The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- / Ad-hoc RELEASE Announcement according to Â§ 15 Sec. 1 Securities Trading Act (WpHG) Outlook revised Dreieich, August 11, 2014. The Management Board revises its outlook. A sales increase of 7% and an operating result (EBIT) slightly above the previous year is expected. Prior to this, an increase of 10% was planned for both key figures. Main reasons for the lower outlook: The recall and the competitive situation in the US market will have a negative impact on the sales and earnings development for the full year 2014. Due to the political crisis in Russia and Middle East further negative impacts on the operative business cannot be excluded. Due to a positive development of clinical studies, (i.e. enlargement of the clinical study IIb with tregalizumab (BT-061) including the accelerated production of clinical study material for a phase III study as well as accelerated production of additional clinical study material for Civacir(R)), higher R&D expenses for the financial year 2014 are expected.
