Liège  (Belgium),  November  10, 2011 -  EVS  Broadcast Equipment S.A. (Euronext
Brussels:  EVS.BR, Bloomberg: EVS BB, Reuters: EVSB.BR) (Pinksheets: EVBEF), the
leader in Professional Digital Video applications for live, near-live and studio
TV  production, today  reported its  results for  the third quarter ("3Q11") and
first nine months of 2011 ("9M11").


Key highlights

Commenting  on the  results and  perspectives, Jacques  Galloy, CFO,  added: "In
3Q11, sales  amounted to EUR  29.8 million, leading to  slightly higher sales in
the  first nine months of  2011 at constant exchange rate  and excluding the big
event  rentals. As  anticipated, the  operating margin  improved sequentially to
46.6%, mainly thanks to higher revenues and despite our investment in innovation
as  our operating  expenses increased  by +11.4% in  3Q11 vs. 3Q10. Recently, we
confirmed  the largest deal in the history of EVS, with more than EUR 10 million
for  the equipment of 12 OB  vans in Russia. We  also signed the rental contract
for the Olympic Games in London next year. The Board confirms 2011 sales to near
2010 record before a stronger 2012 and has decided to pay an interim dividend of
EUR 1.16 per share later in December."

Pierre  Rion, Chairman  of the  Board of  Directors of  EVS said:  "The internal
process  to  better  structure  EVS  to  accompany  the growth of the company is
progressing  well. We  will communicate  on the  new structure  at the latest in
January 2012."
