Officer: On January 31, 2018, the Supervisory Board of Software AG has appointed Sanjay Brahmawar (47) as the new Chief Executive Officer of Software AG for five years as of August 1, 2018. Brahmawar succeeds Karl-Heinz Streibich (65), who will step down after more than 14 years at the top at Software AG as he has reached the recommended age limit. Sanjay Brahmawar is currently General Manager Global Revenue of IBM Watson Internet of Things at Munich, Germany. There, he is responsible for global software sales with a focus on data analysis and artificial intelligence. Previously, he served as General Manager at IBM Consulting Services in London, where he was responsible for the business in the European industrial sector (oil and gas, automotive, aerospace, electronics and engineering). Sanjay Brahmawar has repeatedly and impressively demonstrated that he can increase business both in terms of sales and margin. He has an international and multicultural background with experience in Germany, England, Holland, Belgium, Finland and India. Sanjay Brahmawar was born in India and has Belgian nationality. He lives with his family nearby Munich and is a passionate runner and cyclist in his leisure time.

Software AG decided to cancel treasury shares and to decrease the share capital: On March 13, 2018, the Management Board of Software AG decided to redeem 2,400,000 treasury shares which had been acquired by the company in previous years based on various buy-back authorizations and to decrease the share capital accordingly by €2,400,000. This corresponds to 3.14 percent of the share capital before redemption and capital decrease. The redemption is based on the authorization of the General Assembly of Software AG of May 31, 2016. After the share capital decrease, the current share capital of Software AG of €76,400,000 will amount to €74,000,000 and will be divided into 74,000,000 shares with a proportional share in the share capital amounting to €1.00 per share. After the redemption of 2,400,000 treasury shares, Software AG will still hold 23,761 treasury shares. This corresponds to 0.03 percent of the decreased share capital.

Software AG named a Leader for 7th Year in a Row: On January 4, 2018, Software AG announced that Gartner, Inc., a leading industry analyst firm, named it a Leader in its 'Magic Quadrant for Integrated IT Portfolio Analysis Applications' report (published on Nov. 27, 2017) for its IIPA product, Alfabet, for the seventh consecutive time.1 For the report, Software AG was evaluated for its Alfabet platform among seven different software vendors on 15 criteria. Software AG's Alfabet platform for IT planning and portfolio management offers management and governance capabilities across multiple IT portfolios to provide the CIO and other leaders with the information they need in order to make broad, directional and strategic decisions. It enhances communication and collaboration among different IT portfolio managers and helps them un-

derstand the symbiotic relationships between the business strategy and demand, technology, application and project portfolios while also taking finance and risk perspectives into consideration.

1 Gartner, "Magic Quadrant for Integrated IT Portfolio Analysis Applications", by Daniel B. Stang, Stefan Van Der Zijden, published: 27 November 2017, ID: G00321039. From 2011-12, Software AG was listed as Alfabet since it acquired the company in June 2013.

MANAGEMENT'S ASSESSMENT OF THE FIRST QUARTER RESULTS

Q1 was a breakthrough start to the year and a great foundation for our 2018 business development.

Only one quarter after our announcement to show IoT/ Cloud revenue separately, Software AG witnessed strong growth in this new business area. The IoT/Cloud business increased by 125 percent to €6.4 million in Q1. The cloud order entry improved even stronger with an increase of 195 percent, driven by high market demand and accelerating customer adoption of independent and open IoT & Cloud platforms. Increasingly, major global corporations are building their IoT & Cloud strategy on Software AG's leading technology. Based on this positive market development, the Company is confident of seeing further acceleration in its IoT/Cloud business. Consequently, Software AG's Management Board has decided to increase its 2018 outlook for the IoT/Cloud business from 70 to 100 percent growth (€25-30 million) to 100 to 135 percent growth (€30-35 million). Additionally, the Company confirmed its 2018 revenue outlook for its Digital Business Platform (excluding IoT/Cloud revenue) and Adabas & Natural. Also confirmed is the 2018 operating margin (non-IFRS) and EPS margin (non-IFRS) outlook.

We grew our Digital Business Platform (DBP) business line in Q1 regarding annual recurring revenue (ARR) by 14 percent. ARR is a good indicator for future cash flows generated by activities conducted in the past. The ARR of €276.5 (2017: €262.0) million reflects all future recurring revenue resulting from business signed until March 31, 2018 as well as all future SaaS and usage-based revenue from transactions closed until end of Q1. ARR is going to be a KPI that we will use in our guidance starting 2019.

And we are very pleased with the performance of our newly set up revenue line IoT/Cloud which not only generated revenue above expectation but already an ARR of almost €20 million in Q1. In total, on the DBP side we especially saw an enormous interest of customers and prospects on cloud. Consequently, every single KPI for IoT/

Cloud went up strongly: ARR +81 percent, Licenses +178 percent, Maintenance +100 percent and SaaS/usage-based revenue +113 percent. Due to this early success in the market we decided to increase the guidance.

Currently, we see three major trends in the global digital market: First of all, IoT/Cloud is the biggest market, the IT industry has ever seen. Second, it is a software platform market. And third, ecosystems and not single players are the new giants. We believe that Software AG is very well positioned with regard to all three major trends. We are top positioned in the IoT market and our heritage of being a software company and software platform provider for decades give us a pole position in the race for digital and IoT business development. Building an ecosystem of partners and strategic customers is the single most relevant aspect for success in the digital IoT market of tomorrow and we are in a leading position there as well, compared to all other relevant players. One example is the growing ecosystem of the open, digital platform ADAMOS (ADAptive Manufacturing Open Solutions). Set up by DMG MORI, Dürr, Software AG, ZEISS and ASM PT, ADAMOS is available around the world with support from 200 experts. After Engel Austria GmbH joined this strategic IIoT alliance in February 2018, the KARL MAYER group has become a shareholder in March 2018.

Adabas & Natural (A&N) had a very positive start into the year showing strong license growth which contributed to an overall growth of our A&N business line. A&N will continue to have a very positive impact on our EBIT results, due to a high customer loyalty enforced through the Adabas & Natural 2050+ program.

The focus in the Consulting business continues to remain on supporting our strategic license projects and simultaneously closely monitoring profitability.

BUSINESS LINE DEVELOPMENT | TOTAL REVENUE AND EARNINGS DEVELOPMENT | EMPLOYEES

"The outstanding success and accelerated market adoption of our IoT/Cloud business in Q1 validates our strategy. IoT and Cloud have become the success driver of all industries and, internationally, we are taking a pioneering role in building new IoT and cloud platforms through strategic partnerships with world market leaders. Establishing powerful ecosystems will be the key for future success." Karl-Heinz Streibich, CEO, Software AG

"In Q1, we managed to grow our IoT/Cloud business significantly while, at the same time, maintaining our operating profit margin at a very high level. The capability of growing revenue and profitability simultaneously gives us a uniquely strong market position, which we will continue for the rest of the year and beyond."

Arnd Zinnhardt, CFO, Software AG

BUSINESS LINE DEVELOPMENT

Software AG's IoT/Cloud business showed strong growth in Q1, reaching record revenues of €6.4 million (Q1 2017: €3.0 million) – a plus of 125 percent at constant currency compared to last year. Also, the cloud order entry significantly increased by 195 percent in Q1.

Following an all-time record in Q4 2017, the Digital Business Platform (DBP) generated some 20 percent of the forecasted full year revenue in Q1, this result represents the normal seasonal development. Maintenance revenues excl. IoT/Cloud were at €66.0 million (Q1 2017: €66.5 million) in the same period, 7 percent higher at constant currency than in the previous year. License revenues excl. IoT/Cloud reached €23.4 million (Q1 2017: €36.4 million). Accordingly, the DBP product revenue (licenses + maintenance) excl. IoT/Cloud amounted to a total of €89.4 million (Q1 2017: €102.9 million) in Q1.

The Adabas & Natural (A&N) business line had a strong start to the year. The positive development underscores the stability of the business and high level of loyalty of the A&N customer base. The Company's "Adabas & Natural 2050+" innovation program provides support and digital innovations for customers beyond the year 2050. With this program, Software AG is contributing, in the long term, to protecting its customers' investments and actively modernizing their IT landscapes. A&N license sales rose by

Accordingly, the Company's product sales (licenses + maintenance) totaled €140.4 million (Q1 2017: €153.7 million) in the first quarter. At the same time, the recurring revenue portion of the total product revenue increased from 71 percent in Q1 2017 to 78 percent in Q1 2018.
