Dear Readers, Dear Shareholders,
2019 was an extremely successful fiscal year for Exasol in many respects. The pre-IPO placement in October laid the foundation for the IPO and significantly expanded the financial scope for the continued growth of our company. The previous obstacles in terms of external financing have been overcome and we now have every opportunity to further accelerate our dynamic growth, which is reflected in annual revenue growth rate of more than 20% over the last five years.
In 2019, Exasol generated sales revenues of around EUR 22 million. Recurring revenues accelerated at an ever faster rate to EUR 17.6 million (annualised) in December 2019, up 50% on the December 2018 level. Our scalable infrastructure and platform allow us to yield a stable and high gross profit margin. The operating gross profit margin reached 90% and has continuously exceeded 80% since 2016. Our attractive financial profile is supported by strong visibility of revenues and low annual customer churn rates (CCR). Recurring revenue as a percentage of total revenue, including subscriptions and support contracts, increased from 66% in fiscal year 2018 to 70% in 2019 following the ongoing transition from a license to a subscription-based model. The annual CCR stood at a low 4.0%.
We benefit from very high customer satisfaction, as evidenced by the internationally renowned Dresner Advisory study, and from top ratings in the independent TPC-H benchmark study, according to which our analytics database is the market leader in terms of performance and scalability. Other factors that had a positive impact on our business last
year are increasing brand awareness and the rapidly growing importance of data analytics in the market.
Data are at the heart of the ongoing global digital transformation. This increasing dependence on data will continuously expand the global data sphere in the long term. This trend is further accelerated by the current coronavirus pandemic. This is attributable to four main drivers, namely the increasingly dynamic digital transformation of companies in the current crisis, an expected increase in spending on data analytics, growing demand for remote services and for realtime information for better corporate management.
Irrespective of the accelerated digital transformation caused by the crisis, we have also noticed a temporary reluctance to invest on the part of existing customers and potential new customers, which we have countered by implementing costcutting measures to offset potential negative effects. With a view to the coming months, however, the positive impulses in the market clearly outweigh the negative ones, which means that we can push ahead with our growth strategy after the IPO with full vigour.
The successful IPO at the Frankfurt Stock Exchange in May, in the midst of the economic crisis affecting the financial markets, marks an absolute highlight in the history of our company and the beginning of a new chapter in our growth story. The proceeds from the capital increase will give us the opportunity and the resources to sustainably strengthen our commitment to our target customers and support them in setting new standards in the use of their data.
Expanding our international presence is one of our key strategic goals. In the past, the Exasol sales team focused on the DACH region. We now want to strengthen our sales and marketing activities in other growth markets, particularly in the USA and in the UK, where teams have already been set up, at a much faster pace.
Another strategic focus is the expansion of the partner ecosystem, i.e. large system integrators, business intelligence and analytics consultants and value-added resellers. In addition, we plan to increase the scalability of revenue from our existing customer base by offering an even more flexible product range and expanding our customer relationship team.
We are facing a very exciting phase for the company and look forward to intensifying the dialogue with you, our shareholders, in the coming months and to informing you regularly about the progress made in implementing our growth strategy.
We thank you for your trust.
Kind regards,
Aaron Auld CEO

for the financial year from 1 January to 31 December 2019
In the reporting year, the Supervisory Board performed the duties incumbent on it by law, the Articles of Association and rules of procedure with due diligence. The Supervisory Board afforded intensive support to the Executive Board in management matters, provided regular consultation and supervised Executive Board activity. The benchmarks for supervision were the legitimacy, correctness, appropriateness and efficiency of the Executive Board's actions and this collaboration was characterised by trust and openness. The Supervisory Board was involved directly and early on in fundamental and important company decisions. During regular Supervisory Board meetings and via written, telephone and personal exchanges, the Executive Board kept the Supervisory Board continually informed about business developments, essential planning aspects, Exasol Group's up-to-date situation, the funding strategy, key business processes and other strategic developments. Regular discussions were held about the company's financial situation. Deviations in the course of business from the Group plan were explained to the Supervisory Board in detail and discussed by the Supervisory Board in depth.
Six meetings took place in the reporting year. Topics including the provisional key figures for the consolidated financial statements for the 2018 financial year were discussed on 11 January 2019. The projected figures and the agreement of objectives for the Executive Board for the 2019 financial year were also reviewed during this meeting along with an in depth discussion about the financial strategy and plans.. Executive Board bonuses for the 2018 financial year were the subject of the meeting on 7 February 2019. The Supervisory Board meeting agenda on 29 May 2019 included the examination, discussion and approval of the 2018 annual financial statements and the Executive Board's proposal regarding the appropriation of profits. In addition, the status
and next steps of a financing project which had already been launched in the previous year were examined in detail. At the meeting on 11 September 2019, the Supervisory Board again reviewed the financing project mentioned above as well as other financing options put forward by the Executive Board (including an IPO). The status, ongoing schedule and details of the planned IPO for the 2020 financial year and the upcoming Annual General Meeting were discussed at the meeting on 4 December 2019. The agenda for the meeting on 6 December 2019 included the following points: The appointment of Executive Board members and Executive Board contracts.
The passing of resolutions by written circulation procedure too, alongside resolutions passed at meetings.
There were no personnel changes for either the Executive Board or the Supervisory Board in the reporting period. As the Supervisory Board is only made up of four members, there were no committees formed in the financial year.
The Annual General Meeting on 29 August 2019 appointed KPMG AG Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaft, Nuremberg, as the auditor for the 2019 financial year. KPMG AG Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaft audited the company's annual financial statements for the 2019 financial year, as prepared by the Executive Board, and the 2019 consolidated financial statements, which were provided voluntarily, and issued an unqualified audit opinion in each case. In addition, KPMG AG Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaft audited the consolidated financial statements for the 2018 financial year, which were provided voluntarily and required for the IPO, and issued an unqualified audit opinion for these too.
The Supervisory Board received the audited and certified annual financial statements for 2019 and the consolidated financial statements for 2018 and 2019 in good time and subjected them to its own review. On 4 June 2020, the documentation associated with the annual financial statements was discussed in detail with the auditors involved (Dr Schroff and Mr Medick) during the accounts meeting hosted by the Supervisory Board via video conference.
There were no objections raised after the audits were completed. The Supervisory Board agrees with the results of the audit of the 2019 annual financial statements and the 2018 and 2019 consolidated financial statements by the auditor following its own review. The annual financial statements for 2019 are therefore approved and the consolidated financial statements for 2019 and 2018 are duly approved.
The entire Supervisory Board would like to sincerely thank the Executive Board and all Exasol AG employees for their work during a successful 2019.
Nuremberg, June 2020
For the Supervisory Board
Jochen Tschunke (Chairman of the Supervisory Board)

The functional currency is the euro.
The financial year for the Group and the consolidated companies is the calendar year.
The consolidated financial statements of EXASOL AG, Nuremberg, encompass the wholly owned subsidiaries included pursuant to Section 313 (2) HGB.
| Name and registered office of the company | Share in % | Currency |
|---|---|---|
| EXASOL Vertriebsholding GmbH, Berlin | 100 | EURO |
| EXASOL Cloud Computing GmbH, Nürnberg | 100 | EURO |
| EXASOL Big Data Technologies GmbH, Berlin | 100 | EURO |
| EXASOL Europa Vertriebs GmbH, Nürnberg | 100 | EURO |
| EXASOL UK Ltd., London (Großbritannien) | 100 | GBP |
| EXASOL USA Inc., San Francisco (USA) | 100 | USD |
| EXASOL France S.A.S., Paris (Frankreich) | 100 | EURO |
All companies were fully included in the consolidated financial statements through full consolidation. Therefore, with the exception of the first-time consolidation of EXASOL France S.A.S, Paris, the date of first-time consolidation is 1 January 2017. EXASOL France S.A.S. was founded on 1 September 2017 and consolidated for the first time on this date. The investments are indirectly held by EXASOL AG through EXASOL Vertriebsholding GmbH, Berlin.
(3) Fixed assets are generally stated at cost less amortisation and depreciation. If permanent impairment is likely, assets are is written down beyond amortisation/ depreciation to the lower fair value. Additions are depreciated pro rata temporis. Any low-value assets acquired at a cost of EUR 800.00 or less are written down in full in the year of acquisition.
(4) Internally generated intangible fixed assets are recognised and valued in accordance with Section 248 (2) and Section 255 (2a) HGB. The manufacturing costs in this regard include all direct and indirect costs directly attributable to the production process. Exercising the capitalisation option shows financial performance in a better light and reflects better the potential of the developments in the financial position. These assets are amortised on a straight-line basis over two to five years.
Non-current receivables denominated in foreign currency are translated at the rate prevailing on the transaction date or the lower rate on the balance sheet date. Short-term receivables denominated in foreign currency are translated at the average spot exchange rate applicable as at the reporting date.
Non-current liabilities denominated in foreign currency are translated at the rate prevailing on the transaction date or the higher rate on the balance sheet date. Shortterm liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the average spot exchange rate as at the balance sheet date.
(11) Prepaid expenses and deferred income include receipts or expenditures prior to the reporting date that represent income or expenses after the reporting date.
(12) In accordance with Section 274 HGB, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for temporary differences between the values stated in the tax balance sheet and the values reported under the German Commercial Code (temporary concept).
In addition, deferred taxes are recognised in respect of tax losses carried forward, provided it is expected that these can be used in the near future.
Deferred taxes are determined on the basis of the tax rates that, according to the current legal situation in the countries concerned, will apply or are expected to apply at the time of realisation. Deferred tax assets are recognised only if it is expected that these can be realised.
For differences between values reported in the financial statements and for tax purposes, which are likely to be offset in future financial years, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised and measured pursuant to Section 306 HGB.
The option to net deferred tax assets and liabilities has been exercised.
The Company uses the modified closing rate method for translating foreign currencies.
The balance sheet items of the foreign subsidiaries are translated at the respective average spot exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Equity is translated at the historical exchange rates.
Income statement items of foreign subsidiaries are translated using the average annual exchange rate. In order to incorporate the net income for the year from the income statement (translated at the average annual rate) into the balance sheet, the difference from the rate prevailing on the reporting date is allocated to a separate item entitled "foreign currency translation differences".
The following exchange rates provided the basis for foreign currency translation:
| EUR 1 is equivalent to | Closing rate on 31 Dec. 2019 |
Average rate in 2019 |
|---|---|---|
| US-dollar (USD) | 1.12 (PY: 1.14) | 1.12 (PY: 1.18) |
| British pound (GBP) | 0.85 (PY: 0.90) | 0.88 (PY: 0.88) |
The reporting date of the consolidated financial statements is 31 December 2019 and corresponds to the Parent Company's balance sheet date and that of the subsidiaries.
Capital is consolidated pursuant to Section 301 (2) sentence 5 HGB as at the date of first-time consolidation 1 January 2017 using the values recognised at the date the entities became subsidiaries, as all subsidiaries were established by cash contribution in the past. The differences from netting the acquisition costs of the shares upon establishment (date of acquisition) and the equity at book value as at 1 January 2017 of the subsidiaries are solely from accumulated profits and losses and were offset against the consolidated retained earnings brought forward.
On account of Section 303 (1) HGB, receivables and liabilities between companies included in the consolidated financial statements are eliminated during the course of debt consolidation.
Assets included in the consolidated financial statements, which are based on supplies or services between the companies included in the consolidated financial statements, are recognised at group production cost. The Group's manufacturing costs include appropriate material and production overheads and are otherwise calculated using the same method that is uniformly used in the financial statements of the group companies. If intercompany trade profits or losses are realised between companies included in the consolidated financial statements, then these were determined and eliminated pursuant to Section 304 (1) HGB for the purpose of the consolidated financial statements.
The elimination of intercompany profits and losses led to a KEUR -444 change in the Group's earnings as at 31 December 2019 (PY: KEUR -141).
Both revenue and other trade income between consolidated companies are set off in the consolidated income statement against expenses attributable to them with respect to recipients of goods and services.
The movements in fixed assets during the financial year between 1 January 2019 and 31 December 2019 as well as the breakdown of the individual items are presented in the statement of movements in fixed assets (appendix to the notes).
Intangible assets include purchased property rights and IT software as well as internally generated intangible assets (capitalised development services for software) and goodwill. KEUR 2,262 in internally developed intangible fixed assets were capitalised in the year under review. (PY: KEUR 1,395). Overall, R&D expenses were incurred in the amount of KEUR 2,262 (PY: KEUR 1,395) in the form of personnel expenses and directly allocable overheads for rent, the IT infrastructure and administration.
Purchased property rights include property rights acquired as part of purchase and transfer agreements along with other acquired rights.
Additions in 2019 to fixed assets mainly included investments in internally generated intangible assets, IT software and IT infrastructure.
The Company does not report any deferred tax assets. Deferred tax assets were offset against deferred tax liabilities – to the extent permissible and if they arose in the same tax office (Germany, UK, USA and France).
Deferred tax assets were recognised on tax loss carryforwards up to the amount of the net excess over deferred tax liabilities on temporary differences. The excess amount was written down because the usability of loss carryforwards in the next five years cannot be reliably estimated.
Temporary differences between the values stated for intangible assets and goodwill in the commercial and tax balance sheets resulted in deferred tax liabilities as of the balance sheet date, whereas deferred tax assets result from other provisions and items denominated in foreign currencies.
Consolidation measures pursuant to Section 306 HGB triggered deferred taxes. This is not reported due to lacking evidence of its usage.
The company-specific tax rates of the EXASOL single entities are used to calculate deferred taxes. In this regard, the German companies used a tax rate of 32.17%, EXASOL UK Ltd. 19%, EXASOL USA Inc. 21% and EXASOL France S.A.S. 31%.

The Executive Board proposes that EXASOL AG's net income for the year of EUR 6,436,086.15 be carried forward to the following year.
The cash flow statement was prepared in accordance with GAS 21.
Cash and cash equivalents consist of "cash at bank", "cash on hand" and overdraft bank facilities within "liabilities to banks".
Material non-cash expense and income largely included the reversal of prior year's amounts for prepaid expenses (KEUR 481; PY: KEUR 611) and deferred income (KEUR 4,152; PY: KEUR 4,053) as well as retained interest (under interest expenses/income: KEUR 622; PY: KEUR 465).
The coronavirus has been spreading worldwide since January 2020 and has also had extensive effects in Germany since March 2020. The preliminary business climate index of the ifo Institute has fallen from 96.0 % in February 2020 to 86.1 % in March 2020. The German government is also currently assuming recessionary economic development for 2020.
For Exasol AG (Group/Company), we therefore assume that the willingness of customers and potential new customers to invest will be temporarily restrained, especially in the first half of 2020. In order to counteract the potential effects, the company has now taken a package of cost-cutting measures (short-time working, hiring freeze, reduction of material costs, etc.) to offset the potential negative financial impact.
On 20 April 2020, a further shareholder loan of KEUR 1,200 to EXASOL AG was approved. The loan has a term until 27 April 2021 and bears interest at 8% p.a.
There were no other reportable events after the balance sheet date.

The below auditor's report and consolidated financial statements referred to are both translations of the respective German-language documents.
To EXASOL AG, Nuremberg
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of EXASOL AG, Nuremberg, and its subsidiaries (the Group), which comprise the consolidated balance sheet as at 31 December 2019, and the consolidated income statement, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the financial year from 1 January to 31 December 2019, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including the accounting policies presented therein.
In our opinion, based on the findings of our audit, the accompanying consolidated financial statements comply, in all material respects, with the requirements of German commercial law and give a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities and financial position of the Group as at 31 December 2019 and of its financial performance for the financial year from 1 January to 31 December 2019, in compliance with German Legally Required Accounting Principles.
Pursuant to Section 322 (3) sentence 1 HGB, we declare that our audit has not led to any reservations relating to the legal compliance of the consolidated financial statements.
We conducted our audit of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with Section 317 HGB and the German Generally Accepted Standards for Financial Statement Audits promulgated by the Institut der Wirtschaftsprüfer [Institute of Public Auditors in Germany] (IDW). Our responsibilities under those requirements and principles are further described in the "Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements" section of our auditor's report. We are independent of the group entities in accordance with the requirements of German commercial and professional law, and we have fulfilled our other German professional responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinions on the consolidated financial statements.
Management is responsible for the preparation of consolidated financial statements that comply, in all material respects, with the requirements of German commercial law and that
the consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities, financial position and financial performance of the Group in compliance with German Legally Required Accounting Principles. In addition, management is responsible for such internal control as they, in accordance with German Legally Required Accounting Principles, have determined necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. They also have the responsibility for disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern. In addition, they are responsible for financial reporting based on the going concern basis of accounting, provided no actual or legal circumstances conflict therewith.
The Supervisory Board is responsible for overseeing the Group's financial reporting process for preparing the consolidated financial statements.
Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, as well as to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinions on the consolidated financial statements.
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Section 317 HGB and in compliance with the German Generally Accepted Standards for Financial Statement Audits promulgated by the Institut der Wirtschaftsprüfer (IDW) will always detect a material misstatement. Misrepresentations can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.
We exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive
to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinions. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal controls.
to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to be able to continue as a going concern.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
