Liège  (Belgium),  July  16,  2009,  EVS  Broadcast  Equipment   S.A.
(Euronext  Brussels:  EVS.BR)  (Pinksheets:  EVBEF),  the  leader  in
Professional Digital  Video  applications  for  Live,  Near-Live  and
Studio TV  Production,  today reported  its  revenue for  the  second
quarter ("2Q09") and the first half  ("1H09") of 2009.


Key Highlights

Pierre L'Hoest, CEO of EVS said: "While this quarter still represents
a strong decline compared to one  year ago, we clearly feel that  the
discussions that  have  taken place  over  the last  few  months  are
confirming that the worst is behind  us. With the big events of  2010
approaching, investments  that had  been postponed  in the  difficult
economic environment  are  coming back  on  the table.  We  are  also
broadening our  product portfolio  for sport  TV solutions  with  the
reinforcement of our R&D  skills focusing on  real time graphics  for
live sporting events."

Commenting on  the  perspectives,  Jacques Galloy,  CFO  added:  "The
global economic environment  will continue to  weigh on our  business
performance this  year. Our  sales teams  are doing  a great  job  in
identifying and  offering the  solutions that  best meet  the  client
needs, and more specifically in  terms of efficiency. Even though  we
expect a slightly better second half, it is clear that both  revenues
and profits will be much lower in 2009 than in record year 2008.  But
we are  ready to  attack  2010 with  an  organization that  has  been
strengthened in some areas."
