Tanja Tamara Dreilich, sole Executive Board member
Dear shareholders, ladies and gentlemen,
Despite a slight weakening of the European construction sector and a general deterioration of the economic environment, the third quarter of 2012 was successful for the Nemetschek Group. Group revenue climbed by 11 percent to EUR 43.3 million. The result before interest, taxes and depreciation (EBITDA) climbed in comparison by 6 percent to EUR 10.2 million. The EBITDA margin was 24 percent. The trend was supported by a continuing positive development in the internationalization of the company.
The positive developments in the third quarter, under the changed management, could not, however, compensate for the business development which lay below expectations in the first half year. In the first nine months Group revenue rose 8 percent to EUR 127.7 million. EBITDA rose in comparison by 2 percent to EUR 28.4 million. The EBITDA margin amounted to 22 percent.
The developments of the first half year still continue to place a heavy burden, even on the largest subsidiary of the Group, Nemetschek Allplan. In the third quarter the Executive Board analyzed the situation together with the new management of Allplan, as well as introducing initial steps towards raising profitability. These are already showing the first signs of success.
On the basis of a realistic scenario the Executive Board sticks to the outlook for the full year 2012 published in July 2012. According to this, revenue is expected to reach at least EUR 175 million with EBITDA at previous year's level. This comprises the costs of the steps planned for 2012 as part of the optimization of Allplan.
The personnel numbers of the Nemetschek Group developed as forecast. The number of employees at September 30 amounted to 1,233 compared to 1,173 in the prior year. Thereby, we grew above all in areas that will continue to drive the degree of innovation and the internationalization of our Group further in the future. We would be delighted if you would continue to back us as shareholders on our growth route in the future.
Yours sincerely
Tanja Tamara Dreilich
Price development of the Nemetschek share in comparison to the TecDAX (indexed)
Despite a market environment still burdened by issues related to the Euro crisis, the German stock market developed extremely well. At 7,479 points the DAX reached new peaks for the year towards the end of September. Nemetschek AG's share also developed positively and rose in the third quarter by 14.6 percent to €33.58.
This was above all due to an improved perception of Nemetschek by the capital markets. In addition to participating in three capital market conferences and numerous personal meetings with investors, the publication of three new studies additionally directed the attention of investors to the company. In their initial evaluations the Close Brothers Seydler Bank and the Baader Bank, as well as the Berenberg Bank, recommended the share as a "buy".

In the first nine months the Nemetschek Group increased revenues by 8% to EUR 127.7 million (previous year: EUR 117.9 million). The Group EBITDA amounted to EUR 28.4 million (previous year: EUR 27.9 million) which represents an operative margin of 22% (previous year: 24%). Net income for the year (group shares) amounted to EUR 13.0 million (previous year: EUR 13.3 million). The Nemetschek Group generated an operating cash flow of EUR 26.3 million (previous year: EUR 24.8 million).
Revenues from foreign markets rose by 9 percent
In the first nine months license revenues rose by 9% to EUR 61.9 million (previous year: EUR 56.7 million). Thus, their share of total revenues is in line with the previous year at 48%. Revenues from maintenance contracts rose by 7% to EUR 59.1 million (previous year: EUR 55.3 million). In the foreign markets the Nemetschek Group generated revenues of EUR 77.0 million (previous year: EUR 70.5 million). This is equivalent to a growth rate of 9% (mainly in the USA and Asia). The share of revenues from overseas was thus the same as in the previous year (60%). Revenues within Germany increased by 7% to EUR 50.7 million (previous year: EUR 47.5 million).
In the Design segment the Group generated revenue growth of 9% to EUR 103.3 million (previous year: EUR 95.0 million). At EUR 19.5 million EBITDA was almost at the prior year level and represents an operative margin of 19% (previous year: 21%). The Multimedia business segment was able to increase its revenues by 6% from EUR 10.1 million to EUR 10.7 million, with an above-average EBITDA margin of 43% (previous year: 46%).
In the Build segment revenues rose by 5% to EUR 10.6 million (previous year: EUR 10.1 million). The EBITDA margin amounted to 36% (previous year: 33%). In the Manage segment revenues rose by 11% to EUR 3.0 million. The EBITDA increased from EUR 0.3 million to EUR 0.4 million and thus reached a margin of 12% (previous year: 10%).
Operating margin at 22 percent In the first nine months the Nemetschek Group achieved EBITDA of EUR 28.4 million (previous year: EUR 27.9 million). This represents an operating margin of 22% (previous year: 24%).
The operating expenses rose from EUR 100.1 million to EUR 111.0 million. This is mainly related to increased personnel expenses and other operating expenses in several group companies as part of initiated growth projects. Personnel expenses increased mainly due to the targeted increase of 60 employees (closing date September 30) from EUR 51.0 million to EUR 56.8 million. Other operating expenses rose from EUR 36.1 million to EUR 40.0 million, primarily due to increases in sales and marketing services as well as due to external services. Depreciation includes a one-off effect of EUR 1.0 million from the write-down of a financial asset resulting from the year 2011.
The Group tax rate amounted to 27% as in the previous year. The net income for the year (group shares) of EUR 13.0 million was slightly below that of the previous year (EUR 13.3 million). The earnings per share were thus EUR 1.35 (previous year: EUR 1.38).
In the first nine months the Nemetschek Group achieved an operating cash flow of EUR 26.3 million (previous year: EUR 24.8 million). The cash flow from investing activities of EUR – 4.4 million was above the prior year level (EUR – 4.0 million). The cash flow from financing activities amounting to EUR - 18.0 million (previous year: EUR – 19.7 million) primarily includes dividend distributions amounting to EUR 11.1 million as well as the repayment of the last installment of the bank loan amounting to EUR 4.7 million.
After dividend payments and loan repayments amounting to EUR 15.8 million in total the liquid funds amounted to EUR 37.8 million (December 31, 2011: EUR 33.5 million).
Current assets increased by EUR 3.7 million to EUR 69.4 million (December 31, 2011: EUR 65.7 million) principally due to higher liquid funds. Non-current assets reduced as a result of scheduled amortization on assets from the purchase price allocation as well as from distribution by DocuWare AG and the write-down of a financial asset to EUR 92.1 million (December 31, 2011: EUR 96.7 million).
Equity ratio at 66 percent The bank loan for the Graphisoft takeover was completely repaid in June 2012 and thus, Nemetschek has repaid capital totaling EUR 100 million within the last five and a half years. The deferred revenues increased by EUR 7.3 million to EUR 26.6 million in line with the maintenance fees invoiced. The balance sheet total was EUR 161.4 million as of September 30, 2012 (December 31, 2011: EUR 162.4 million). Equity amounted to EUR 106.6 million (December 31, 2011: EUR 103.7 million). Accordingly the equity ratio increased to 66% (December 31, 2011: 64%).
On October 19, 2012 by way of a board resolution the supervisory board of the Munich based Nemetschek AG has dismissed Tim Alexander Lüdke, who was the speaker of the management board, with immediate effect. Further, the supervisory board resolved to terminate the service agreement with Tim Alexander Lüdke with immediate effect; the duration of the service agreement would have been until December 31, 2014 without such termination. Furthermore, Mr Tim Alexander Lüdke resigned from his function as the CEO with immediate effect and terminated his service agreement with immediate effect. Nemetschek AG will be represented by the sole Executive Board member Ms Tanja Tamara Dreilich.
At the reporting date September 30, 2012, the Nemetschek Group employed 1,233 staff (September 30, 2011: 1,173). The increase is due to the planned recruitment in several group companies.
There are no significant changes compared to the disclosures in the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2011.
With regard to the significant opportunities and risks for the prospective development of the Nemetschek Group we refer to the opportunities and risks described in the Group management report as of December 31, 2011. In the interim period there have been no material changes.
