PROFIT WARNING: PKC GROUP LOWERS ITS OPERATING PROFIT OUTLOOK FOR 2013 DUE TO
UNIT IN BRAZIL 



Brazilian unit's profitability shall be weaker than previously estimated. The
operating losses shall increase due to the sizeable payments related to the new
collective bargaining agreement which have been demanded from automotive
companies in Curitiba and which weaken PKC's operating profit during the second
half of the year. 



PKC lowers its outlook for 2013 so that the comparable operating profit
excluding non-recurring items is not estimated to reach 2012 level. The
estimate regarding the full year net sales remains unchanged. 



REVISED PKC GROUP'S OUTLOOK



PKC Group estimates its full year 2013 net sales to be lower than in 2012 and
estimates its comparable operating profit excluding non-recurring items not to
reach 2012 level. In 2012 PKC's net sales were EUR 928.2 million and comparable
operating profit excluding non-recurring items was EUR 51.5 million.
