IFCO SYSTEMS N.V. Expects a Loss for the Third Quarter 2006 Due to Non Recurring Items.

HOUSTON -- In anticipation of the Q3 2006 earnings release, the Management expects a minor pre tax loss for that reporting period. The loss will entirely arise from the Company's business segment Pallet-Management-Services in the US through:

* non-recurring, higher than expected legal

* a temporary decline in productivity and profitability in the US Pallet-Management-Services Segments (PMS) due to the partial replacement of the US Pallet-Management-Services workforce as a result of the ICE investigations.

Cash flow is expected to continue to be positive in Q3 2006 and for entire 2006.

Additional information regarding the investigations of the ICE can be found in the quarterly report Q1 2006 and Q2 2006, in the press release dated April 21, 2006 and on the Company's web-site.

The Company anticipates improvement in the productivity and profitability of the PMS business segment as well as declining legal costs and therefore expects a positive result for the fourth quarter 2006.
