Increased international footprint from 10 to 14 IXDatacentres in four countries
Continued signing-up blue-chip customer base

*Reported EBITDA excluding one-off charges for IPO cost and option charges in H106 and exceptional costs in 2005

Guy Willner, Chief Executive of IXEurope said:

"In the first six months of 2006, we have successfully continued our focus on acquiring high quality datacentre capacity to meet strong customer demand and to build the foundation for future growth. Sales have continued strongly, with new signings of blue-chip names and with over 60% of our increased contracted revenues coming from existing customers.

“Our year-on-year growth of 46% in revenue and 111% increase in underlying EBITDA reflects our success in this strategy. Our flotation on AIM in April 2006 has helped the Group to expand its portfolio by adding fast-growing new IXDatacentres to our maturing, cash-generative sites.”
