Interim Management Report

Business Development

Earnings

PSI Group achieved 3.8\% lower sales of 177.4 million euros in the first nine months of 2024 (Sept. 30, 2023: 184.5 million euros). In the third quarter of 2024, sales were stable at 65.1 million euros (July 1-Sept. 30, 2023: 65.2 million euros). The operating result (EBIT) was balanced at 13,000 euros in the third quarter (July 1-Sept. 30, 2023: 2.6 million euros) and continued to improve compared to the first two quarters of 2024. In the first nine months of 2024, it was clearly negative at -19.4 million euros (Sept. 30, 2023: -2.7 million euros) following the negative impact of the cyberattack. The consolidated result was correspondingly -24.1 million euros (Sept. 30, 2023: EUR -7.1 million). Incoming orders decreased by $16.8 \%$ compared to the same period of the previous year to 198 million euros (Sept. 30, 2023: 238 million euros). In the previous year, the third quarter in particular was characterized by very large orders in the areas of electrical grids, logistics and in Malaysia. At 188 million euros, the order backlog as at Sept. 30, 2024 was 5.5\% below the previous year's figure (Sept. 30, 2023: 199 million euros).

The Energy Management segment (energy grids, energy trading, public transport) achieved 7.6\% lower sales of 84.8 million euros (Sept. 30, 2023: 91.8 million euros) and a significant deterioration in the operating result to -19.5 million euros (Sept. 30, 2023: -7.5 million euros). Although the segment's business continued to normalize, fixedprice projects in particular were still significantly impacted by the lower productivity following the cyberattack.

Sales in the Production Management segment (metals, industry, logistics) remained constant in the first nine months at 92.6 million euros (Sept. 30, 2023: 92.7 million euros). The segment's operating result deteriorated to 2.3 million euros (Sept. 30, 2023: 11.1 million euros), but in the third quarter the segment achieved a $23 \%$ year-onyear improvement in its operating result to 3.7 million euros. Due to the more productbased business, Production Management recovered much faster from the consequences of the cyberattack than Energy Management.

Financial Position

Cash flow from operating activities was clearly negative at -34.2 million euros (Sept. 30, 2023: -6.5 million euros) as a result of the cyberattack and one-off working capital changes, which will be reversed in subsequent quarters. At 27.4 million euros, cash and cash equivalents were 19.6 million euros below the previous year's figure (Sept. 30, 2023: 47.0 million euros), offset by higher current financial liabilities of 24.7 million euros (Dec. 31, 2023: 2.1 million euros). The Group has sufficient funds available for financing and a significant improvement in cash and cash equivalents is expected in the fourth quarter.

Assets

Compared to 31 December 2023, there have not been any material changes in the Group's assets.

Personnel Development

The number of employees in the Group increased slightly to 2,316 (Sept. 30, 2023: 2,279).

PSI-Shares

The PSI stock ended the third quarter of 2024 with a final price of 22.30 euros, $11.9 \%$ below the final 2023 price of 25.30 euros. In the same period, the technology index TecDAX recorded an increase of $2.3 \%$.

Risk Report

The estimate of the corporate risk has not changed since the Annual Report for 31 December 2023.

Outlook

Following the cyberattack in February 2024 and the restart of the renewed IT systems, productive operations have largely resumed since the beginning of May and are now almost completely back to normal. In the course of the restart, further measures were adopted that will significantly increase the security of the IT systems as part of a revised IT strategy and are currently being implemented. No further costs are expected from the cyber attack in the fourth quarter of 2024.

The simplification of the Group structures was already initiated in the middle of the year with the merger of the German subsidiaries into PSI Software SE. In future, PSI's business will be divided into the five industry segments Grid \& Energy Management, Process Industries, Discrete Manufacturing, Logistics and Mobility, which will also form the basis for financial reporting from the fourth quarter of 2024. With the cloud transformation of the product portfolio, which was initiated with three specific proof-of-concept projects, PSI is laying the foundations for the future development of the SaaS business (Software-as-a-Service).

Taking into account the negative effects from the cyberattack, the PSI Executive Board continues to expect a reduction in sales of up to 25 million euros for the full year and a negative EBIT of up to $\sim 15$ million euros.

Notes on the consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2024

The Company

1. Business Activities and Legal Background

The business activities of PSI Software SE and its subsidiaries relate to the development and sale of software systems and products fulfilling the specific needs and requirements of its customers, particularly in the following industries and service lines: utilities, manufacturing, logistics and transportation. In addition, the Group provides services of all kinds in the field of data processing, sells electronic devices and operates data processing systems.

The PSI Group is structured into the core business segments energy management and production management. The company is listed in the Prime Standard segment of the Frankfurt stock exchange.

The company is exposed to a wide range of risks that are similar to other companies active in the dynamic technology sector. Major risks for the development of the PSI Group lie in the success with which it markets its software systems and products, competition from larger companies, the ability to generate sufficient cash flows for future business development as well as in individual risks regarding the integration of subsidiaries, organisational changes and the cooperation with strategic partners.

The condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the period from January 1, 2024 to September 30, 2024 were released for publication by a decision of the management on October 29, 2024.

The condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the period from January 1, 2024 to September 30, 2024 were produced in compliance with IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting". The condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not contain all the data and notes prescribed for the annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for 31 December 2023.

2. Accounting and Valuation Principles

With regard to the principles of accounting and valuation and especially the application of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), see the group consolidated financial statements for the financial year 2023.

3. Seasonal Influences on the Business Activities

Seasonal effects resulted in the PSI Group operations with regards to the receipt of maintenance revenues in the first quarter of the financial year (deferment of the influences on the result of corresponding incoming payments throughout the year) and significantly greater demand and project accounting in the fourth quarter of the financial year.

4. Significant Events

PSI Group was the target of a cyberattack in February 2024. The majority of the PSI Group's IT systems were taken offline and had to be shut down. PSI Group was temporarily only able to carry out central activities of its business model to a limited extent. In the meantime, productive operations have been resumed since the beginning of May and are now almost completely back to normal. In the course of the restart, further measures were adopted which will significantly increase the security of the IT systems as part of a revised IT strategy and are currently being implemented.

5. Changes in the Consolidation Group

Compared to December 31, 2023 there were no changes in the consolidation group.
