ATOSS|HALF-YEAR REPORT 2020

4
Dear Shareholders, Ladies and Gentlemen,
In spite of global uncertainty and the shifts emanating from the coronavirus crisis, ATOSS Software AG has brought the first half of 2020 to a successful conclusion and maintained its strong performance. The excellent business developments of the last six months are mainly attributable to the sustained expansion of the cloud business and a resulting increase in the share of recurring sales.
Workforce management issues and topics are gaining increasing significance, especially in times of volatile markets – as currently caused by the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic. This is the only way to create transparency and efficiency in the process of managing short-time working, reducing and flexibilizing working time triggered by fluctuations in the utilization of capacity and the gradual resumption of production, distribution and workflows in other sectors under totally new conditions.
Companies which have already digitized their working time management and planning processes and are deploying professional workforce management solutions, have been able to meet the new challenges posed by the coronavirus with significantly greater agility in the last few months. Awareness of digitalization issues and topics has changed abruptly as a result of the health crisis. Public life and our economy would not have survived without digital technologies. So in spite of all its negative connotations, Covid-19 can be seen as a digital turning point and an important driver of corporate digitalization.
As a technology leader, ATOSS will continue to support and shape this digital change as well as investing in the growth engine "Cloud" as a fundamental technology for the business of tomorrow in order to retain the company's powerful growth dynamics going forward.
The cloud has exhibited consistently strong developments over the last few years and will gain further significance in the coming years. This is also reflected in our current metrics for the order book: For example, the key metric for managing business in the cloud – Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) – jumped 70 percent to EUR 10.6 million (prior year: EUR 6.3 million). Taken together with consistently high orders on hand for software licenses valued at EUR 8.4 million (prior year: EUR 6.1 million) as of June 30, 2020 and impressive figures for sales and earnings for the first half of the year the company is excellently equipped to face the future.
LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS
Christof Leiber and Andreas F.J. Obereder Management Board ATOSS Software AG
This growth story is also being perceived as such by the capital markets. Consequently, ATOSS Software AG was admitted to Deutsche Börse's SDAX index on June 22. This places our company among the 165 largest enterprises included in the Prime Standard now. This listing is exceptionally gratifying for us, not least as it constitutes the capital markets' confirmation and recognition of our long-term corporate strategy. At the same time, however, we see it as an incentive to not only continue to grow profitably in the current record-breaking year, our 15th in succession, but also to keep charting this course in the future.
Chief Executive Officer Member of the Management Board

Buoyed by a very strong first half of the year in spite of tough underlying conditions, we are reaffirming our financial targets for the whole of 2020 and assuming total sales of EUR 80 million with an EBIT margin of over 25 percent.
Yours sincerely,
Andreas F.J. Obereder Christof Leiber

| Economic environment | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
The German economy finds itself in a deep recession following the global spread of the coronavirus. The outlook for further economic developments remains subject to considerable uncertainty. Above all, the course of the pandemic is of crucial significance. If efforts to keep the number of new infections low, maintain the easing of the lockdown and mitigate the levels of uncertainty for companies and households are unsuccessful, the weakness in the economy can be expected to last for a considerably longer period of time.
The Bitkom-ifo Digital Index published by the Digital Association Bitkom in June 2020 in collaboration with the ifo Institute is significantly more confident, as the ICT companies polled are already assessing the state of their business as appreciably better than in April and May.
The company
Sales and earnings growth in the first half of 2020 underlines 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 fifteenth record year in succession is conceivable.

SHARE PRICE DEVELOPMENT 01/2010 – 06/2020
ATOSS share hits new heights in the first half of 2020
After a turbulent first half of the year on the exchanges, the ATOSS stock set a new record in the first 6 months, thereby maintaining its long-term positive growth. The stock reached EUR 105.0 in mid-June 2020 – its highest price since the IPO in 2000 – and closed the first half of the year at EUR 103.0 on June 30, 2020.
The ATOSS stock also looks strong across a longer time frame: From 2010 to the end of June 2020, the stock has recorded a price increase of 1,579 percent. By way of comparison, the Daxsubsector Software Performance Index was only able to grow by 361 percent over the same period. The SDAX, on which ATOSS Software AG has been listed since June 22, 2020, posted a rise of 226 percent in the same period. The ATOSS stock has thereby significantly outperformed both indices and put in appreciably higher growth than the market.

Dividend policy

In January 2020, the Management Board decided to propose to the Supervisory Board a sustainable increase in the company's previous distribution ratio from 50 to 75 percent of consolidated earnings per share. Otherwise, the dividend policy that has been in place since 2006 remains unchanged. This policy follows the principle of dividend continuity according to which this year's dividend should not fall below that of the previous year and it should be increased if this is possible with a distribution ratio of now 75 percent (previously 50 percent) with respect to consolidated earnings per share. Adjustment of the dividend policy thus represents continuation of the sustainable participation of the shareholders in the success of ATOSS Software AG. Overall, long-term ATOSS shareholders have received a dividend of EUR 14.16 per share in the last 18 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
ATOSS DIVIDEND IN EUR


Shareholder structure
The founding family holds 57.2 percent of the shares in ATOSS Software AG. Since December 6, 2012, Mr. Andreas Obereder has held 50.0000025 percent of the shares indirectly via AOB Invest GmbH of which he is sole owner.
Share split
On June 19, 2020, ATOSS Software AG implemented the share split adopted by the Annual General Meeting on May 28, 2020. For every old share they held, every shareholder received a new share by way of a corresponding credit in their securities account. From a technical perspective, the stock split was effected by means of a capital increase from company funds of EUR 3,976,568 from EUR 3,976,568 to EUR 7,953,136. As a result of the split, the share capital of ATOSS Software AG doubled from 3,976,568 shares to 7,953,136.
Listing on the SDAX
At market opening on June 22, 2020, ATOSS Software AG was listed in Deutsche Börse AG's SDAX. In light of the listing criteria, this means that ATOSS ranks among the 165 largest assets in the Prime Standard. Besides the exchange's high transparency requirements, ATOSS meets the crucial criteria with regard to its level of market capitalization and trading volume.
Analysts praise strong half-year figures
For the analysts at Warburg Research, ATOSS once again delivered strong business figures in the first half-year. The high volatility of the current market environment resulting from the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has led to a marked increase in the relevance of workforce management for companies in all industries and market segments. The expansion of the cloud business also increased the share of recurring revenues in software revenue by 3 percentage points to 72 percent.
Against the background of the continuing very positive forecasts, the share is still rated "buy" with a price target of EUR 110.

1. Business and operating conditions: Corona pandemic hobbles global economy
Global economic activity probably contracted by approximately 10 percent in the first half of 2020 as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic, thereby marking a collapse of historical proportions. The nadir now seems to have passed. For example, the Chinese economy has already made up for a considerable share of the production lost in January and February. Assuming that the course of the pandemic allows a sustainable and extensive easing of the containment policy and that the massive monetary and fiscal measures have their desired effect, output across the whole economy should pick up again in the second half of the year. 1)
The corona pandemic also severely impacted on the economic output in the Eurozone. The economic crash, however, took on very different forms in the four largest countries in the Eurozone. Italy, Spain and France were particularly badly affected and extensive packages to support the economy were implemented as in other European countries. 2)
The German economy was plunged into by far its deepest recession in its post-war history as a result of the coronavirus pandemic and efforts to contain it. Economic output was also drastically cut with the shutdown in March and April. As the restrictions on contact were eased, economic activity slowly increased again from May onwards. However, according to economic forecasters, the recovery phase will take some time as the epidemiological risks remain and citizens and business are modifying their behavior accordingly. 3)
On the other hand, the German high-tech sector is already looking to the future with much greater confidence. This is underlined, for example, by the Bitkom-ifo Digital Index published by the Digital Association Bitkom in June in collaboration with the ifo Institute in which the ICT companies polled assessed the state of their business as appreciably better than in April and May. 4)
Against this background, ATOSS posted a particularly strong performance in the first half of 2020 with sales growing by 20 percent and operating earnings (EBIT) by 33 percent. Together with a consistently high order book from its licensing business standing at EUR 8.4 million (prior year: EUR 6.1 million) and a 70 percent increase in Annual Recurring Revenue – the central control metric in the cloud – which jumped to EUR 10.6 million (prior year: EUR 6.3 million), ATOSS can also boast an excellent basis for maintaining its strategic growth.

2. Earnings situation: New records for sales and earnings
In the first half of the 2020 financial year, ATOSS generated overall sales of EUR 40.6 million (prior year: EUR 33.9 million) – a 20 percent increase. Sales in the core software business posted double-digit growth of 19 percent, rising to EUR 26.2 million (prior year: EUR 22.0 million). This equates to a 64 percent share of the Group's total sales (prior year: 65 percent). The largest boost to growth within software revenues came from recurring sales with cloud solutions which jumped 70 percent to EUR 5.8 million (prior year: EUR 3.4 million). The consistently positive development of software maintenance over the last few years was also sustained. Sales in this area rose 9 percent to EUR 13.0 million (prior year: EUR 11.9 million). Overall, recurring sales as a proportion of software revenues increased by 3 percent to 72 percent (prior year: 69 percent) thereby further stabilizing the company's already sound business model. Sales from consulting services climbed 24 percent to EUR 11.6 million, a significant year-on-year increase (prior year: EUR 9.4 million).
The key metric for the company's operating success, earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT), was heavily influenced by the successful realization of major projects and the Group's cautious cost management in light of the effects of the coronavirus crisis. Investments required to expand capacity, above all in the areas of Customer Services and Support as well as Research and Development were further stepped up. Overall, operating earnings (EBIT) rose by EUR 2.9 million or 33 percent to EUR 11.5 million (prior year: EUR 8.7 million). The return on sales represented by EBIT therefore stood at 28 percent (prior year: 26 percent).
Earnings before taxes (EBT) recorded growth of 31 percent during the reporting period, rising from EUR 9.1 million to EUR 11.9 million.
Earnings after taxes came in at EUR 8.3 million as of June 30, 2020 (prior year: EUR 5.9 million). As a result, earnings per share stood at EUR 1.04 (prior year: EUR 0.74).
In spite, or indeed in view of the currently tough times, the overall growth in demand for workforce management solutions from this Munich software specialist has been very pleasing. Besides increasing orders for software licenses to EUR 8.4 million as at June 30, 2020, a 38 percent gain over the previous year's figure of EUR 6.1 million, the key metric for managing business in the cloud – Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) – jumped 70 percent to EUR 10.6 million (prior year: EUR 6.3 million). The ARR stands for the sales generated by the company within the next 12 months on the basis of monthly cloud usage fees applicable on the closing date. The promising order pipeline thus represents an excellent starting point for the 2020 financial year.
3. Net assets and financial position
In the first six months of the year, cash flow from operations totaled EUR 11.9 million (prior year: EUR 8.5 million). Liquidity (cash and cash equivalents less borrowings) increased compared to the previous year period from EUR 12.9 million to EUR 13.6 million. The overall position comprising liquidity and other current and non-current financial assets adjusted for borrowings (e.g. loans) increased from EUR 25.1 million to EUR 30.7 million in spite of a dividend payment of EUR 10.1 million (EUR 2.55 per share) in June 2020. Liquidity per share including other current and non-current financial assets and adjusted for borrowings stood at EUR 3.87 on June 30, 2020 (prior year: EUR 3.16).
Higher net earnings and high cash flow resulting from major projects were the main factors exerting a positive impact on the cash flow from operating activities. The primary effects reducing cash flow were a decrease in miscellaneous liabilities following the payout of salary and commission liabilities, and a reduction in trade accounts payable.
Cash flow from investment activities relates to investment in fixed assets amounting to EUR 0.4 million (prior year: EUR 0.3 million) and investment in financial assets amounting to EUR 3,9 million (prior year: EUR 0 million).
As of June 30, 2020, ATOSS had an equity ratio of 40 percent (prior year: 36 percent).
Thanks to the overall excellent earnings situation and its consistently sound asset position, the company expects its ability to meet its financial commitments to remain unchanged in the future 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 19 percent compared with the previous year and stood at EUR 7.0 million as of June 30, 2020 (prior year: EUR 5.9 million). R&D costs as a proportion of overall sales amounted to 17 percent (prior year: 17 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 484 in the previous year to 524. As of June 30, 2020, ATOSS employs 194 staff in Development (prior year: 180), 159 in Consulting (prior year: 143), 92 in Sales and Marketing (prior year: 92) and 79 in Admin (prior year: 69).
Personnel costs for the current financial year totaled EUR 20.1 million on June 30, 2020 (prior year: EUR 17.1 million).
6. Risks associated with future development
The control or management of risks is particularly crucial in times of the coronavirus. On the basis of the latest analysis, ATOSS Software AG's risk structure has not materially changed from its presentation in the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2019 even if the general bad debt risk represented by our customers has risen appreciably as a result of new financial challenges. The Group meets this risk by intensifying its active receivables management and credit rating verification prior to concluding contracts.

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 5.2 million and EUR 2.7 million respectively as of June 30, 2020, 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, 2020.
8. Outlook
ATOSS Software AG can look back on an exceptionally successful first half of the year with new highs for sales and earnings. Together with a consistently high order book from its licensing business standing at EUR 8.4 million (prior year: EUR 6.1 million) and a 70 percent increase in Annual Recurring Revenue – the central control metric in the cloud – from its prior year level of EUR 6.3 million to EUR 10.6 million, ATOSS boasts an excellent platform for maintaining its strategic growth. For this reason, the Management Board is reaffirming its financial targets for the whole of 2020 after a strong first half of the year, and assuming total sales of EUR 80 million with an EBIT margin of over 25 percent.
