Letter from the Management Board

Dear shareholders, customers and friends of 11 88 0 Solutions AG,

The coronavirus pandemic continued to set the agenda in the first half of the current financial year, with the majority of our team working from home. This did not adversely affect our performance – on the contrary, we exceeded our ambitious internal targets in the first six months of 2021 and recorded further growth compared to the same period in 2020. This was true of both the Digital business, where the number of contract customers rose to 45,767 as of 30 June 2021, and the Directory Assistance segment, which performed well thanks to the call centre third-party business and the outsourcing collaboration with FRED 11811.

We also made significant progress at operating level during the first half of the year. We largely completed the integration of FAIRRANK GmbH after acquiring the business at the end of September last year. At the same time, we started expanding our existing key account management team, which will look after our most lucrative customers in the future and use the entire 11880.com and FAIRRANK product range to deliver the best online marketing for these customers. We also redesigned our specialist portals to make their added value more readily apparent to users and give them an even more direct connection with the right service provider.

By using intelligent SEO and SEA measures, we have given the online marketing of our own products and services a considerable boost. These measures have paid off, not only enhancing our profile but also unearthing several prospective customers for our sales team.

For the fifth year in a row, we were named the best classified directory in the annual market research conducted by television station n-tv and the German Institute for Service Quality (DISQ). The most important criteria in this poll were service quality and transparency, and we are very proud to say that 11880.com once again scored highly on both counts.

Although the Directory Assistance business recorded a further decline in line with the market in the first half of the year, our collaboration with FRED 11811 allowed us to buck this trend. We continued to grow our call centre third-party business by acquiring several new smaller customers and expanding the volume of orders from long-standing customers in the first six months of the current financial year. We re-established our quality management system in this area and are now seeking various certifications to ensure that we can meet the necessary conditions for public tenders in the future.

It is encouraging for us to see that the development of the Covid pandemic now enables our customers to return to normal business life. Our team will be there to support them and help them add as much value to their online presence as possible. We will also roll out several new products offering specific added benefits for our corporate customers in the Digital business during the second half of the year.

Thank you the confidence you have placed in us. Sincerely,

Christian Maar Chief Executive Officer 1188 0 Solutions AG

Course of business, material events

Although the first half of the 2021 financial year was affected by the restrictions of the Covid pandemic, 1188 0 Solutions AG per formed successfully even during the months of lockdown. Both of the Company's divisions again achieved growth compared with the previous year. 1188 0 Solutions AG also laid important founda tions for future growth at operational level.

Leveraging intelligent SEO and SEA measures, the Company sig nificantly boosted its public awareness in the first six months of 2021 and generated a large number of leads. A dedicated page on SEO has also been developed for corporate customers, provid ing them with practical tips on how to market their products and services. Complementing the gold, silver and bronze advertising categories, the Company plans to launch a platinum category par ticularly for enterprises that use the website as a key part of their business and primarily market their products and services online. The product range will also be expanded to include a Consent Man agement Tool supporting 11880.com customers in complying with all GDPR provisions.

The second division of 11 88 0 Solutions AG, which comprises di rectory assistance services and the call centre third-party busi ness, also performed well in the first half of 2021. The collabora tion with Fred 11811 compensated for some of the market-related decline in directory assistance call volumes, while larger custom ers expanded their order volumes. The acquisition of three small er new customers was another factor contributing to the positive performance. 11 88 0 Solutions AG also redesigned its quality management system in this area in order to be able to participate in public tenders in the future and obtain the certifications that are often required for this purpose.

This year's Annual General Meeting of 11 88 0 Solutions AG was held in a virtual format on 16 June 2021. The actions of the Man agement Board and Supervisory Board were formally approved with 99.98 percent of all votes, and all other proposals on the agenda were adopted by at least 98 percent of the votes.

Financial situation

The entities FAIRRANK GmbH and Seitwert GmbH, which were acquired with effect on the 21st of September 2020, are not included in the prior-year figures for the comparative period due to their acquisition date.

Results of operations

Consolidated revenues as of the 30 June 2021 reporting date were EUR 28.8 million (previous year: EUR 24.0 million), representing a year-on-year increase of 20 percent. Adjusted for the share of revenues attributable to FAIRRANK GmbH and Seitwert GmbH, which were only acquired in September 2020, the increase was 11%. Further information on the segment breakdown and changes is provided in the section entitled "Segment report".

The consolidated cost of revenues was EUR 16.3 million in the first half of 2021, an increase of 21 percent year-on-year (previous year: EUR 13.5 million). However, FAIRRANK GmbH and Seitwert GmbH contributed EUR 1.7 million to cost of revenues, which means that the like-for-like increase would be 9%. This was mainly due to an increase in variable costs incurred, among other things, in connection with the cooperation with FRED 11811-Auskunft, which has been in place since May 2020. These costs rose in line with the corresponding revenue generated in this area. There were also higher costs for call centre services due to the year-on-year increase in revenues.

Selling and distribution costs increased year-on-year from EUR 7.5 million to EUR 8.5 million, driven mainly by costs attributable to FAIRRANK GmbH and Seitwert GmbH.

The general administrative expenses incurred in the first six months rose slightly by EUR 0.1 million to EUR 4.4 million compared with the previous year.

Consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) improved by EUR 1.2 million year-on-year, from EUR 1.4 million to EUR 2.6 million. Earnings after taxes at the half-year mark were EUR -0.6 million (previous year: EUR -1.0 million). Significantly higher revenues compared to the same period of the previous year as well as a disproportionally low increase in costs, mainly in sales, were the reasons for the positive performance in earnings.

Net assets and financial position

Capital expenditures

Capital expenditures in the first half of 2021 totalled EUR 2.3 mil-

lion (previous year: EUR 2.4 million). In addition to investments in product improvements and product innovations, especially in the digital business, this item includes capitalised sales commission of EUR 2.0 million (previous year: EUR 1.7 million) and capitalised right-of-use assets of EUR 0.2 million (previous year: EUR 0.3 million) in accordance with IFRS 16 Leases.

Statement of financial position

As of 30 June 2021, total assets amounted to EUR 28.5 million, showing a decrease of EUR 2.9 million compared with 31 December 2020 (31 December 2020: EUR 31.4 million).

On the assets side of the statement of financial position, current assets declined by EUR 2.2 million (31 December 2020: EUR 14.1 million) to EUR 12.0 million. This was due mainly to the EUR 1.9 million decrease in trade accounts receivable. As of 30 June 2021, the 11880 Solutions Group had investments in short-term money market and bond funds that are reported as financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss. The fair value of these investments remained unchanged at EUR 0.6 million compared with 31 December 2020.

As of the reporting date, the Group had non-current assets worth EUR 16.5 million (31 December 2020: EUR 17.3 million). The decrease of EUR 0.7 million resulted mainly from a decrease in capitalised right-of-use assets pursuant to IFRS 16.

On the liabilities side, current liabilities fell by EUR 1.8 million to EUR 12.5 million (31 December 2020: EUR 14.3 million). The reduction mainly concerned other current liabilities and trade accounts payable.

Non-current liabilities decreased from EUR 7.4 million as of 31 December 2020 to EUR 6.8 million as of the 30 June 2021 reporting date. This decline is mainly due to a reduction in non-current lease liabilities.

Equity declined by EUR 0.6 million to EUR 9.1 million compared to 31 December 2020 (31 December 2020: EUR 9.8 million), due mainly to the net loss for the period incurred in the first half of 2021.

Cash flow & financing

Cash flow from operations in the first half of 2021 amounted to EUR 2.4 million, compared to EUR 0.6 million during the prior-year period due to a significantly reduced receivables portfolio.

The cash outflow from investing activities in the first six months amounted to EUR 2.1 million (previous year: EUR 2.1 million).

The cash flow from financing activities was EUR -0.8 million in the first six months (previous year: EUR -0.7 million).

Cash holdings

Cash holdings (cash and current financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss at the end of the period) declined from EUR 3.7 million to EUR 3.1 million compared with 31 December 2020. The decrease in cash holdings by EUR 0.6 million (net cash flow) corresponds to the sum total of the cash flow from operations of EUR 2.4 million, the cash flow from investing activities of EUR -2.1 million and the cash flow from financing activities in the amount of EUR -0.8 million.

Segment report

At EUR 22.4 million, revenues in the Digital business were up yearon-year (previous year: EUR 18.1 million). The Digital business now accounts for around 78 percent of total revenue (previous year: 75 percent). Six-month earnings (EBITDA) as of the reporting date were EUR 2.5 million (previous year: EUR 1.4 million).

The traditional directory assistance business accounted for EUR 6.4 million of total revenues (previous year: EUR 5.9 million). Sixmonth earnings (EBITDA) as of the reporting date were EUR 0.1 million (previous year: EUR 0.0 million).

Outlook

Digital segment

The company's strategy in 2021 remains focused on continuing on its dynamic growth trajectory in this segment and optimising its products in a customer-driven way. Furthermore, the integration of FAIRRANK GmbH and Seitwert GmbH will see 11 88 0 Solutions AG revamp their products SEO, online advertising, usability optimisation and website analysis, and make them more of a focus.

In the area of new customer business, the Group will again be working on a continued, moderate increase in the 2021 financial year.

In its business with existing customers, the 1188 0 Solutions Group still expects to achieve customer growth although it will be below the growth rates of the previous year.

Directory Assistance segment

In the Directory Assistance segment, the 11 88 0 Solutions Group anticipates that the negative trend with respect to call volumes in Germany will persist in 2021. In addition to further expanding the call centre third-party business, the Company is always reviewing and testing new business models and collaboration opportunities in order to ward off decreases in business volume as much as possible and ensure long-term success.

Group

At Group level, the 1188 0 Solutions Group continues to expect posting revenues of EUR 54.8 to EUR 60.6 million in 2021. In comparison, revenues were generated in the amount of EUR 50.8 million in 2020. The 1188 0 Solutions Group also continues to expect EBITDA in 2021 to be in the range of EUR 3.1 to EUR 4.3 million. In comparison, the Company generated EBITDA of EUR 3.0 million in 2020.

Cash holdings

The 1188 0 Solutions Group continues to expect positive cash holdings of between EUR 1.5 and EUR 2.3 million as of the end of the 2021 financial year. Cash holdings at the end of 2020 amounted to EUR 3.7 million.

Employees

On 30 June 2021, the 11 88 0 Solutions Group had 574 employees (head count; excluding Management Board, trainees, interns and dormant employment contracts), which represents a year-on-year increase of 5 percent (previous year: 545). The prior-year figure does not include the employees of FAIRRANK GmbH and Seitwert GmbH, which were acquired in September 2020.

Significant events after the end of the interim reporting period

The global spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19) continues to represent an additional element of uncertainty with regard to the economic impact on the 1188 0 Solutions AG Group as well. At the time of preparing the financial statements, the Company's business model continues to prove resilient. Both risks and opportunities arise for the remainder of the 2021 financial year, but their occurrence will depend on how the pandemic develops. On the one hand, customer behaviour with regard to contract fulfilment still cannot be reliably predicted for the coming months; on the other hand, however, opportunities arise for the Company triggered by the increasing digitalisation trend.

3. Segment reporting

The Management Board of 11880 Solutions AG, as the Group's main decision-making entity, reviews the Group's results on the basis of weekly and monthly reporting and makes significant business decisions on this basis.

For the purpose of internal reporting and management control, the 11880 Solutions Group divides its activities into two operating segments: Digital und Directory Assistance.

Costs directly attributable to revenue generation and product development are assigned to the segments and include all personnel, technology, rental and licence expenses required to manage the segments. Costs not directly attributable are distributed among the segments according to a formula that is regularly reviewed and reflects actual costs incurred.

The two segments' main key performance indicators for operations are revenues and EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation).

The accounting principles for the segments essentially match those described in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2020.

There were no intersegment revenues in the first six months of the current financial year or in the same period of the previous year.
