Interim Management Report

Business Development

Earnings

PSI Group achieved 5.8 \% lower sales of 112.3 million euros in the first half of 2024 (June 30, 2023: 119.3 million euros). In the second quarter of 2024, sales improved slightly to 62.0 million euros (June 30, 2023: 61.0 million euros) despite the effects of the cyberattack in February 2024. The operating result (EBIT) was still negative in the second quarter at -4.6 million euros (April 1-June 30, 2023: -9.4 million euros), but improved compared to the same quarter of the previous year and the first quarter of 2024. In the first half of 2024, it was clearly negative at -19.4 million euros (June 30, 2023: -5.4 million euros) following the impact of the cyberattack. The consolidated result was correspondingly -22.6 million (June 30, 2023: -8.7 million euros). Incoming orders decreased by 8.9\% year-on-year to 154 million euros (June 30, 2023: 169 million euros) as a result of the cyberattack; in the second quarter, they improved by 15.7\% year-on-year to 59 million euros (April 1-June 30, 2023: 51 million euros). At 211 million euros, the order backlog as at June 30, 2024 exceeded the prior-year figure by $7.1 \%$ (June 30, 2023: 197 million euros).

The Energy Management segment (energy grids, energy trading, public transport) achieved 7.6\% lower sales of 53.4 million euros (June 30, 2023: 57.8 million euros) and a significantly lower operating result of -16.2 million euros (June 30, 2023: -8.2 million euros). Although the segment's business gradually returned to normal over the course of the quarter, it was still clearly impacted by the consequences of the cyberattack.

Sales in the Production Management segment (metals, industry, logistics) decreased by $4.2 \%$ to 58.9 million euros in the first half of the year (June 30, 2023: 61.5 million euros). The segment's operating result deteriorated to -1.3 million euros (June 30, 2023: 8.1 million euros), but the segment returned to profit in the second quarter. Although Production Management also continued to suffer from the consequences of the cyberattack, the overall negative effect on sales and earnings was lower than in Energy Management due to the more product-based business.

Financial Position

Cash flow from operating activities was negative at $\sim 17.6$ million euros as a result of the cyberattack (June 30, 2023: 2.1 million euros). At 38.0 million euros, cash and cash equivalents were 13.5 million euros below the previous year's figure (June 30, 2023: 51.5 million euros), offset by higher current financial liabilities of 14.4 million euros (December 31, 2023: 2.1 million euros).

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 2,324 (June 30, 2023: 2,273).

PSI-Shares

The PSI stock ended the first six months of 2024 with a final price of 21.90 euros, 13.4\% below the final 2023 price of 25.30 euros. In the same period, the technology index TecDAX recorded a decrease of $0.3 \%$.

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 have continued to normalize since then. 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. As announced in June 2024, the PSI Group intends to streamline its organizational structure by merging the German subsidiaries into PSI Software SE. The structural simplification will facilitate the PSI-wide harmonization of business processes, tap synergy potential and improve the overall scalability of the business.

As already announced at the beginning of June, the Executive Board expects, taking into account the negative effects of the cyberattack, a reduction in sales of around 20 to 30 million euros and a negative operating result in the upper single-digit to lower double-digit million range for the full year.

Notes on the consolidated financial statements as of 30 June 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 1 January 2024 to 30 June 2024 were released for publication by a decision of the management on 4 September 2024.

The condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the period from 1 January 2024 to 30 June 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 largely resumed since the beginning of May. 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.

5. Changes in the Consolidation Group

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