'This again is testimony to MTU's successful development over the past few years and to the attractiveness of our stock to investors.

MTU Aero Engines AG has been listed on the Deutsche Börse Prime Standard since June 6, 2005 and was admitted to the MDAX mid-cap index on September 19, 2005. The share price has increased far more than tenfold since MTU's initial public offering, when it sold its stock at an issue price of 21 euros a share. In the past, MTU has succeeded in containing the impact of economic and industry crises and posted record profits even during the biggest investment phase in its corporate history. As things stand, 2019 will mark another record-breaking year for MTU.
