* Presentation of previous year as of December 31, 2020.
Consolidated revenue rose by 13.0% in the first nine months to EUR 493.6 million (previous year: EUR 436.8 million). The increase in revenue is a result of solely organic growth. Adjusted for currency translation effects at constant exchange rates, revenue growth would have been 15.7%.
EBITDA increased by 24.0% to EUR 160.3 million (previous year: EUR 129.3 million). The EBITDA margin thus rose considerably from 29.6% in the previous year to 32.5%. The aboveaverage margin is mainly due to the strong operating business development.
Overall, there was a recovery in the license business compared to the previous year. In the first nine months of 2021, the Nemetschek Group's revenues from software licenses were 11.2% higher than in the same quarter of the previous year at EUR 169.0 million (previous year: EUR 152.0 million). Adjusted for currency effects, the increase was 14.2%. Recurring revenues again increased significantly in the first nine month by 14.0% to EUR 302.6 million (previous year: EUR 265.4 million). Adjusted for currency effects, recurring revenues rose by 16.7%. The disproportionately strong increase reflects the strategic change in the business model to increasingly offer subscription and SaaS. Revenues from subscription /SaaS increased significantly by 46.6% (adjusted for currency effects: 50.2%) to EUR 93.0 million. Software licenses accounted for 34.2% of total revenues (previous year: 34.8%), while the share of recurring revenues slightly increased from 60.8% in the previous year to 61.3%.
An essential diversification factor is the Group's continuing global orientation. Domestic sales increased by 9.8% to EUR 117.9 million (previous year: EUR 107.4 million). In the foreign markets, the Nemetschek Group achieved revenues of EUR 375.7 million, an increase of 14.1% compared to the previous year. The share of revenues generated abroad increased to 76.1% (previous year: 75.4%).
In the Design segment, revenues increased by 10.8% (adjusted for currency effects: 12.5%) to EUR 254.0 million compared to the prior-year (EUR 229.3 million). EBITDA increased by 9.2% to EUR 83.2 million (previous year: EUR 76.1 million). This corresponds to an operating margin of 32.7%, which was slightly below the previous year's level of 33.2%. In the Build segment, revenues increased significantly year-on-year by 11.6% (after adjustment for currency translation effects: 16.0%) to EUR 161.1 million (previous year: EUR 144.3 million). The EBITDA margin increased to 42.5% (previous year: 38.0%). In the Manage segment, revenues increased by 12.9% (adjusted for currency translation effects: 12.8%) to EUR 33.0 million (previous year EUR 29.2 million). The EBITDA margin was 9.7% and below the previous year (14.1%). The Media & Entertainment segment revenues significantly increased by 27.2% to EUR 50.1 million (previous year: EUR 39.4 million) in the first nine months. The currency-adjusted growth was at 31.1%. At 37.5%, the EBITDA margin significantly increased (previous year: 28.9%).
Operating expenses increased by 7.0% from EUR 352.0 million to EUR 376.8 million. The cost of materials included in this figure rose to EUR 18.1 million (previous year: EUR 17.2 million). Personnel expenses rose by 8.3% from EUR 196.4 million to EUR 212.6 million. Other operating expenses increased by 7.5% from EUR 101.3 million to EUR 108.9 million. Depreciation and amortization on fixed assets slightly increased by 0.2% from EUR 37.2 million to EUR 37.2 million.
The net income for the year (group shares) increased to EUR 96.8 million (previous year EUR 67.7 million). Adjusted for amortization from the purchase price allocation after tax, net income rose by 36.3% to EUR 111.8 million (previous year: EUR 82.0 million), resulting in earnings per share of EUR 0.97.
The Group's tax rate at the end of the third quarter of 2021 was 19.4% (previous year: 24.4%).
The cash flow from operating activities was mainly used for investments in fixed assets and the start-up Reconstruct Inc., dividends as well as the repayment of loans and lease liabilities.
The operating cash flow of the first nine months in the amount of EUR 163.6 million increased significantly due to the higher operating performance (previous year: EUR 114.5 million) supported by positive working capital effects as well as tax effects.
Cash flow from investing activities was EUR –19.7 million (previous year: EUR –90.3 million) and included the investment in the start-up Reconstruct Inc. In the previous year, EUR 79.1 million were paid for the acquisition of Red Giant in the Media & Entertainment segment. The cash flow from financing activities of EUR –95.8 million (previous year: EUR –81.8 million) mainly includes dividends paid out in the amount of EUR 34.7 million (previous year: EUR 32.3 million), the repayment of bank loans of EUR 47.6 million (previous year EUR 43.1 million), the repayment of short-term interim financing EUR 18.0 million (previous year EUR 0) and the repayment of lease liabilities of EUR 11.2 million (previous year EUR 9.6 million).
On the quarterly closing date, the Nemetschek Group held cash and cash equivalents of EUR 191.9 million (December 31, 2020: EUR 139.3 million).
The balance sheet total increased from EUR 889.7 million to EUR 957.5 million compared to December 31, 2020. Equity amounted to EUR 497.8 million (December 31, 2020: EUR 417.3 million), resulting in an equity ratio of 52.0% compared to 46.9% as of December 31, 2020. The increase was driven by the net income for the year (EUR 98.3 million), the currencyrelated increase of Group assets (EUR 17.3 million) and decreased by dividends paid (EUR 34.7 million).
There were no significant events after the end of the interim reporting period.
As of September 30, 2021, the Nemetschek Group employed a staff of 3,139 (September 30, 2020: 3,067), an increase of 2.3% on the prior-year quarter. In the following quarters, the Nemetschek Group intends to further increase the number of employees in order to ensure future growth.
For the main opportunities and risks of the Nemetschek Group's anticipated development, we refer to the opportunities and risks described in the Group management report as of December 31, 2020. No significant changes have occurred in the meantime. With regard to the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic, we refer to the forecast report in the Group management report as of December 31, 2020, and to the comments in this quarterly report.
Based on the very good business development in the first nine months and the continued positive outlook, the Executive Board expects to achieve the upper end of the previously raised target ranges for revenue growth and EBITDA. The currency-adjusted revenue growth is expected to be in a range between 12% and 14% while the EBITDA margin is targeted to be between 30% and 32%.
The outlook is based on the assumption that there will be no significant deterioration in the macroeconomic conditions in the fourth quarter of 2021 and that the Corona pandemic will continue to be under control.
