Ad-hoc RELEASE
Announcement according to § 15 Sec. 1 Securities Trading Act (WpHG)

Biotest increases revenues significantly by 16.2% 

Dreieich, 13. February 2015. According to preliminary and unaudited
figures, the Biotest Group increased revenues to EUR 582.0 million. This 
represents an increase of 16.2% compared to the previous year (EUR 500.8
million). Biotest successfully gained market shares - particularly in the
Middle and Far East.

On account of advanced research and development cost, additional  expenses
relating to the planed production capacity expansion at the headquarters in
Dreieich, Germany,  as well as overall lower margin business, especially in
crisis regions, Group's earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) came in at
EUR 53.4 million at the previous year EBIT level (EUR 53.8 million).

Biotest will publish final results for the Financial Year 2014 and the
annual report on March 24th, 2015. The Annual General Meeting of Biotest AG
will take place on May 7th, 2015 in Frankfurt am Main, Germany.
