ATOSS HALF-YEAR REPORT 2018

ATOSS HALF-YEAR REPORT 2018

Dear Shareholders, Ladies and Gentlemen,

ATOSS Software AG continues to grow – adding another chapter to its continuing success story for the thirteenth year in succession. Thanks to customer-oriented innovations and the successful development of a range of cloud solutions, ATOSS has also succeeded in continually expanding its dynamic growth in the first half of this year.

And the preconditions for sustaining this success moving forward are outstanding. ATOSS was not only able to achieve new record figures for sales and earnings, but also for orders received and orders on hand.

Advancing digitization, new work concepts and an individualized society are changing the world of work continuously and dramatically. Companies today have to be able to adapt increasingly flexibly to the demands of the market to prevail against the competition. As part of this, having a highly agile and flexible personnel infrastructure is essential. ATOSS' professional workforce management solutions play a key role in achieving this.

As a reliable long-term business partner with top-notch investment security, excellent innovation and robust growth rates, we are ideally positioned to successfully tap the ever growing opportunities in the workforce management market.

This strong positioning is recognized and appreciated accordingly within the public arena. For instance, ATOSS was presented with the BAYERNS BEST 50 award by the Bavarian State Ministry for Economic Affairs and Media, Energy and Technology for the second time in 2018, after already picking up the award in 2003. Every year, this annual prize recognizes owner-run companies that have achieved significantly above-average growth in personnel and sales over the past five years. We are delighted to have received this award and gained recognition for our track record. Together with the latest figures, this award clearly confirms that we are on the right track strategically.

The promising order pipeline in H1 2018, with orders on hand for software licenses of EUR 5.1 million and cloud solutions of EUR 12.1 million, forms an outstanding basis for further growth in the current financial year and beyond.

Andreas F.J. Obereder and Christof Leiber Board of Management ATOSS Software AG

LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS

Given this situation, the Management Board stands by its guidance for the financial year 2018 and continues to anticipate sales and earnings development on a par with the growth rates of the financial year 2017 within a corridor of +/- 3 percent. Despite further planned investments, particularly in sales for developing new markets, and a continuing high level of expenditure on research & development amounting to around one fifth of sales, the EBIT margin is also expected to remain unchanged at around 25 percent.

Yours sincerely,

Andreas F.J. Obereder Christof Leiber

Chief Executive Officer Member of the Board of Management

Economic environment

The economic barometer published by the German Institute for Economic Research (DIW Berlin) indicates moderate growth of 0.4 percent in the second quarter over the previous quarter. Although the German economy therefore lost some momentum compared to the rapid growth of last year, it is still enjoying good capacity utilization thanks to the well-filled order books.

In contrast, the market forecasts for the German ICT market published by the digital trade association Bitkom in February 2018 are considerably more confident. Growth in the software segment for the current year is expected to come in at 6.3 percent.

The company

The development of sales in the first half of 2018 underlines the continued customer interest and therefore also the strong competitive position of ATOSS within the workforce management field.

The long-term development of the key performance indicators remains very pleasing. A thirteenth record year in succession is conceivable.

SHARE PRICE PERFORMANCE: Q1/2007 – Q2/2018

ATOSS share hits new heights in the first half of the year

The ATOSS share set new records in the first half of 2018 and has therefore continued its positive development in the long-term. The share traded at EUR 96.0 in mid-June 2018 – its highest price since the IPO in 2000 – and closed on June 29 at EUR 89.8.

The ATOSS share also looks strong across a longer time frame: From 2007 to the end of June 2018, the share has recorded a price increase of 776 percent. By way of comparison, the Software Performance Index Daxsubsector was only able to grow by 208 percent over the same period. As a result, the ATOSS share substantially outperformed the index and developed considerably better than the market.

ATOSS Software AG distributes around 50 percent of its earnings per share to shareholders annually, assuming payout capability. The company has followed this transparent approach consistently since 2003. In addition, there were also respectable special distributions in 2006, 2013 and 2016. Overall, long-term ATOSS shareholders have received a dividend of EUR 21.52 per share in the last 15 years.

Given this distribution policy – in combination with the highly positive earnings growth – ATOSS will retain its positioning in future as a technology company offering an attractive and reliable dividend return, as well as consistently positive development, plus the growth opportunities on offer.

INVESTOR RELATIONS

Analysts praise strong sales performance

According to the analysts from Warburg Research, the key figures posted for the first half of the year underline ATOSS' continued strong sales performance. The cloud segment notably recorded high growth in orders received in the first six months of the year. These orders secure positive earnings effects for the company in the long term over the entire span of a project, even if these orders have a lesser impact on earnings in the short term. Given the sustained positive forecasts, the share continues to be rated as "Hold" with a price target of EUR 91.

GROUP MANAGEMENT REPORT 1. Business and operating conditions: German economy loses

momentum

The expansion of the global economy slowed tangibly at the start of 2018. Global production, which grew very strongly over the course of 2017, has lost considerable momentum of late. After growth in production already slowed somewhat in the second half of last year, the global economy grew by 0.8 percent in Q1 2018, only slightly more than in 2015 and 2016 – years which were synonymous with global economic weakness.

The Eurozone economy also lost momentum at the beginning of this year. With a 0.4 percent rise in the real gross domestic product in the first quarter 2018 compared to the previous quarter, expansion weakened noticeably compared to the strong growth rates of 0.7 percent respectively achieved in the four quarters of 2017.

A slowing of economic development was also observed in Germany due to external risks. For this reason, the ifo Institute substantially revised its spring 2018 economic forecast downwards. With a look to the current and coming year, it is anticipating growth in the real gross domestic product of 1.8 percent. The upwards momentum in Germany will nevertheless continue, though not at the same pace as in 2017.

The German high-tech industry can, however, look to the future with optimism. According to a market forecast for the German ICT market published by the digital trade association Bitkom in February, growth in the software field is expected to total 6.3 percent for the current year.

Against this backdrop, ATOSS recorded strong business development in the first half of 2018, with sales growth of 11 percent as well as growth in operating profits (EBIT) of 12 percent – in parallel to substantially higher expenses for R&D, sales and customer services compared to the previous year. Sales growth of 12 percent was achieved in the core software business. Sales from consulting services, which have risen continuously over past years, came in at EUR 8.5 million (previous year: EUR 7.1 million), representing a substantial rise of 19 percent over the previous year period. Orders on hand for software licenses and cloud solutions totaled EUR 5.1 million and EUR 12.1 million respectively as of June 30, 2018, following on from EUR 5.1 million and EUR 6.9 million in the previous year.

2. Earnings situation: Record sales and earnings figures once again

In the first half of the 2018 financial year, ATOSS generated overall sales growth of 11 percent to EUR 29.4 million (previous year: EUR 26.5 million). Sales in the core software business rose by 12 percent from EUR 16.6 million to EUR 18.5 million. Within software income, the largest driver of growth came from recurring sales from cloud solutions, which more than doubled to EUR 1.8 million (previous year: EUR 0.8 million). Sales from software licenses totaled EUR 6.0 million (previous year: EUR 6.1 million). The software maintenance business also enjoyed a successful first half of the year, sustaining the consistent positive development of past periods. Sales in this area rose by 11 percent to EUR 10.8 million.

Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT), the most important key figure for expressing the operating success of the company, improved from EUR 6.6 million in the first half of the previous year to EUR 7.5 million on the back of the positive sales development. The return on sales represented by EBIT therefore stood at 25 percent (previous year: 25 percent).

Earnings before taxes (EBT) recorded growth of 12 percent during the reporting period, rising from EUR 6.6 million to EUR 7.4 million.

Earnings after taxes came in at EUR 5.0 million as of June 30, 2018 (previous year: EUR 4.4 million). As a result, earnings per share totaled EUR 1.25 (previous year: EUR 1.10).

Orders received for software licenses and the software component of contracted cloud subscriptions during the first six months of the year rose impressively by 20 percent from EUR 6.4 million to EUR 7.7 million overall. The promising order pipeline – with orders on hand for software licenses of EUR 5.1 million (previous year: EUR 5.1 million) and cloud solutions valued at EUR 12.1 million (previous year: EUR 6.9 million) – therefore provides an outstanding foundation for the remainder of the 2018 financial year.

3. Net assets and financial position

In the first six months of the year, cash flow from operations totaled EUR 4.4 million (previous year: EUR 4.0 million). Liquidity (cash and cash equivalents less borrowings) increased compared to the previous year period from EUR 11.6 million to EUR 14.2 million. The overall position comprising liquidity and other current and non-current financial assets adjusted for borrowings (e.g. loans) increased from EUR 23.7 million to EUR 25.9 million. Liquidity per share including other current and non-current financial assets and adjusted for borrowings stood at EUR 6.5 on June 30, 2018 (previous year: EUR 5.97).

Cash flow from operating activities was mainly positively influenced by the higher net profit, the non-operative write-downs on fixed assets contained within it as well as higher order-related advance payments received. The primary effects which reduced cash flow resulted from the decrease in miscellaneous liabilities following the payout of salary and commission liabilities, and the increase in trade accounts receivable.

Cash flow from investment activities was strongly influenced by the EUR 0.9 million investment in fixed assets (previous year: EUR 0.5 million).

As of June 30, 2018, ATOSS had an equity ratio of 57 percent (previous year: 50 percent). The company therefore continues to enjoy excellent capital resources, ensuring financial solvency at all times.

4. Product development

Research and development remains an important component of the ATOSS growth strategy, with the goal of further extending the company's strong position as a technological leader in workforce management moving forward. Research and development costs in the first six months rose by 8 percent compared to the previous year and stood at EUR 5.6 million as of June 30, 2018 (previous year: EUR 5.2 million). R&D costs as a proportion of overall sales amounted to 19 percent (previous year: 20 percent).

The company continues to refrain from capitalizing the expense of developing product innovations. All expenditure for this purpose is recognized in the income statement in the period in which it is incurred.

5. Employees

The number of employees has risen from 388 in the previous year to 436. As of June 30, 2018, ATOSS employed 179 members of staff in development (previous year: 156), 116 in consulting (previous year: 109), 76 in sales and marketing (previous year: 68), and 65 in administration (previous year: 55).

Personnel costs for the current financial year totaled EUR 14.9 million on June 30, 2018 (previous year: EUR 13.6 million).

6. Risks associated with future development

No material changes to the company's risk structure occurred with regard to the description provided in the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2017.

The market risk associated with financial assets available for sale largely concerns the fair value of the investment funds and the company's gold holdings, which stood at EUR 5.0 million and EUR 1.9 million respectively as of June 30, 2018, and this risk is dependent on the price performance of the share and the development in the gold price moving forward.

7. Events after the closing date

No reportable events of particular significance have occurred since June 30, 2018.

8. Outlook

In the first six months of the current financial year 2018, ATOSS recorded highly positive developments in both sales and operating profits. Given this situation, the Management Board stands by its guidance for the financial year 2018 and continues to anticipate sales development on a par with the growth rates of the financial year 2017 within a corridor of +/- 3 percent. Despite the further planned increase in headcount, particularly in sales for developing new markets, and a continuing high level of expenditure on research & development amounting to around one fifth of sales, the EBIT margin is also expected to remain at around 25 percent.
