ATOSS|2021 HALF-YEAR REPORT

Dear Shareholders, Ladies and Gentlemen,

In the first half of 2021, ATOSS Software AG maintained its growth trajectory and the successful development of its range of cloud solutions in an impressive manner, while at the same time laying down crucial, strategic markers for strengthening the Group's global focus and further expansion of its cloud business.

The current development of the business is evidence of the high, undiminished demand and relevance of digital solutions for demand-optimized workforce scheduling in professional corpo rate management, further accelerated by digital transformation in all walks of life and business processes. In an age of globalization, digitization and transformation, the optimum deployment of the available workforce is of strategic importance for companies. The dynamic organizations of tomorrow need to be built upon agile personnel infrastructures, smooth processes and new forms and ways of work. And it is crucial to be able to tap the potential of valuable working time to the fullest extent. This is precisely the strength of ATOSS and its innovative workforce management solutions.

For this reason, the newspaper DIE WELT also perceives us as one of the key players in the design of working environments in the 21st century.* We are particularly delighted by this recognition in the global software market, as it represents impressive evidence that ATOSS' aspirations and vision – to design the transformation of the world of work for the benefit of companies, employees and society – are already perceived as reality in society today. Not only on a domestic level but also on a global scale. Around 10,000 customers are now planning and managing more than 3.5 million employees in over 50 countries with our ATOSS solutions.

ATOSS Software AG is also set up for further growth with its first tier of management. Accordingly, effective as from April 1, we appointed Dirk Häußermann to the Management Board as the new Co-CEO for the globalization and marketing areas and Pritim Kumar Krishnamoorthy as the new CTO as from July 1. These seasoned professionals both draw on many years of experience in the software sector gained with renowned, globally active companies. This Management Board structure will put us in a position to pack an even more powerful punch in our target markets, enabling us to continue driving our globalization strategy and implementation of cloud trans formation on a sustainable basis.

The conditions for doing so are excellent. This is reflected not least in our latest key indicators for the order book: For example, the key metric for managing the cloud – Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR for short) – increased by 74 percent as of June 30, 2021, coming in at EUR 18.5 million

(previous year: EUR 10.6 million). Furthermore, the Group succeeded in significantly expanding the proportion of orders received for Cloud & Subscriptions in total orders for software to over 70 percent. By comparison: in fiscal 2020, the share of cloud orders received was still at 42 percent. Consequently, ATOSS is continuing to pursue the cloud transformation of its business model.

ATOSS Software AG is and remains a growth company with high stability, a successful business model and great innovative energy.

Also against the backdrop of the progress made in cloud transformation, which is significantly above budget, the Management Board is maintaining its forecast for the whole of 2021, already increased at the start of the year. This forecast looks for sales to grow to EUR 95 million. Furthermore, the company is budgeting an EBIT margin of 27 percent, taking account of the capital expenditure planned, particularly in sales and distribution to open up new markets and in development capacity.

Best regards

Economic environment

Economic activity in Germany enjoyed a noticeable recovery in the second quarter of 2021, following on from a 1.8 percent drop in GDP in the first quarter in the wake of the third wave of the pandemic. In view of the vaccination progress made and the associated decline in infection rates, the economy can be expected to pick up pace again as the year progresses.

The estimates of the digital association Bitkom, whose business sentiment index on the current state of business has shown positive growth in the last few months also support this confidence. There was a particularly sharp rise in May in the expectations of the ICT companies surveyed for the coming six months and in the Bitkom-ifo Digital Index which is calculated using the estimate of business position and business expectations. The Digital Index rose by 2.3 points in May 2021 by comparison with the previous month, reaching 34.2 points, its highest level for 32 months.

The company

The growth in sales and earnings in the first half of 2021 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 sixteenth record year in succession looks likely.

SHARE PRICE DEVELOPMENT: 01/2010 – 06/2021

ATOSS share hits new heights in the first half of 2021

The ATOSS share set a new record in the first half of 2021 and has therefore continued its positive long-term development. The share traded at EUR 197.0 at the end of January 2021 – its highest price since the IPO in 2000 – and closed on June 30, 2021 at EUR 186.4.

The ATOSS share also looks strong across a longer time frame. From 2010 to the end of June 2021, the share price has risen by 2,968 percent. By way of comparison, the Software Performance Index DAX sub-sector was only able to grow by 346 percent over the same period. The SDAX, on which ATOSS Software AG has been traded since July 1, 2021, climbed 351 percent over the same period. The ATOSS stock has therefore significantly outperformed both indices and grown faster than the market by an appreciable factor.

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 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. By adjusting its dividend policy in the previous year, ATOSS Software AG is thereby maintaining the sustainable participation of shareholders in the success of the company. A cumulative amount of EUR 15.83 per share has been paid to shareholders since the company went public, including several special dividends.

Given this distribution policy – in combination with 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.

Admission to the SDAX

ATOSS Software AG was admitted to Deutsche Börse AG's SDAX at the start of trading on July 1, 2021. The SDAX comprises 70 companies listed on the regulated market of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange and ranking below the MDAX in terms of size and liquidity. Selection is based on the free float market capitalization and 12-month order book sales. The SDAX is weighted by free float market capitalization although no company may make up more than 10 percent of the index.

Analysts praise impressive progress with cloud transformation

Besides new records for sales and earnings in the first half of the year, ATOSS particularly impressed the analysts from Warburg Research and Hauck & Aufhäuser with respect to the expansion of its cloud business. The proportion of orders received for Cloud & Subscriptions in total orders received jumped to over 70 percent, and Annual Recurring Revenue in the cloud increased by 74 percent to EUR 18.5 million (previous year: EUR 10.6 million). Consequently, ATOSS is continuing to successfully drive the cloud transformation of its business model. Against this background, the share price target has already been raised twice this year: According to the current analysts' evaluation from Warburg Research, the ATOSS stock is rated as a "Buy" with a target of EUR 215. According to the analysis published by Hauck & Aufhäuser on July 27, 2021, ATOSS stock is rated "Buy" with a target price of EUR 204.

1. Business and operating conditions: Economic recovery accelerates

Growth of the global economy slowed at the start of the year, primarily due to the coronavirus pandemic. In the meantime, global GDP has now recovered from its dramatic collapse in the spring of 2020 and was recently almost back to its pre-crisis level.1) The effects of the pandemic were largely limited to the service sectors. Industrial output and global trade, on the other hand, continued to expand strongly even if the upswing was partly constrained by supply bottlenecks and logistics problems. As a result, there have already been sharp increases in the price of commodities, intermediate goods and transportation services, which have fed through to a noticeable rise in consumer prices.2)

Economic growth in the Eurozone followed a similar path and, according to economic researchers, can be expected to expand strongly over the summer months and surpass its pre-crisis levels by the end of 2021.2) Nevertheless, the autumn will be particularly decisive for the trajectory of further growth as only then will it become clear to what extent vaccinations can prevent the virus and its mutations from spreading.3)

In Germany, too, the economy has picked up pace and, according to the latest studies, it will continue to grow or even exceed its pre-crisis level.4) In this context, the German high-tech sector views the future with particular confidence. This is evidenced by the assessment of the digital association Bitkom in May 2021. According to this assessment, the Bitkom-ifo Digital Index, calculated using business position and business expectations, rose by 2.3 points over the previous month in May 2021, reaching 34.2 points and thus its highest level for 32 months.5)

Against this backdrop, ATOSS recorded strong business development in the first half of 2021, with sales growth of 13 percent as well growth in operating profits (EBIT) of 4 percent. Together with the successful expansion of the cloud business, as a result of which the main control parameter for this sector – Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR for short) – increased by 74 percent to EUR 18.5 million (previous year: EUR 10.6 million), ATOSS is outstandingly positioned to maintain its strategic growth trajectory.

5) Bitkom-ifo Digital Index: May 2021: Business climate continues to trend upwards

2. Earnings situation: Strong performance in the first half of the year

In the first half of the 2021 financial year, ATOSS generated overall sales growth of 13 percent to EUR 45.7 million (previous year: EUR 40.6 million). Sales in the core software business posted double-digit growth of 18 percent, reaching EUR 30.9 million (previous year: EUR 26.2 million). This equates to a share of overall Group sales of 68 percent (previous year: 64 percent). The largest boost to growth within software revenues came from recurring sales with cloud solutions, which jumped 52 percent to EUR 8.8 million (previous year: EUR 5.8 million). The growth in software maintenance which has been consistently positive for years, also continued. Sales here rose by 8 percent to EUR 14.1 million (previous year: EUR 13.0 million). Overall, the proportion of recurring revenue in total sales – and thus the central, key factor in the company's future growth – continued to grow in line with the budget and has now reached 50 percent for the first time (previous year: 46 percent). Sales from consulting services showed moderate growth of 4 percent to EUR 12.1 million (previous year: EUR 11.6 million) – based on the figure for the previous year which was already very high.

Notwithstanding the significant year-on-year increase in expenses – particularly for R&D as part of the continuous refinement of ATOSS software solutions as well as higher personnel costs resulting from its international expansion of capacity in Sales – the return on sales relative to operating earnings (EBIT) of EUR 12.0 million (previous year: EUR 11.5 million) remains at a high level of 26 percent (previous year: 28 percent).

Earnings before taxes (EBT) stand at EUR 12.0 million (previous year: EUR 11.9 million) as of June 30, 2021. After deducting taxes, this results in net income of EUR 8.3 million (previous year: EUR 8.3 million). As a result, earnings per share totaled EUR 1.04 (previous year: EUR 1.04).

Thanks to the successful expansion of its cloud business, the crucial metric for controlling the cloud – Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR for short) – increased significantly by 74 percent to EUR 18.5 million (previous year: EUR 10.6 million). 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.

3. Net assets and financial position

In the first six months of the year, cash flow from operations totaled EUR 8.1 million (previous year: EUR 11.9 million). Liquidity (cash and cash equivalents less borrowings) increased compared with the previous year period from EUR 13.6 million to EUR 14.1 million. The overall position comprising liquidity and other current and non-current financial assets adjusted for borrowings (e.g. loans) increased from EUR 30.7 million to EUR 33.8 million in spite of the dividend payment of EUR 13.3 million (EUR 1.67 per share) at the beginning of May 2021. Liquidity per share including other current and non-current financial assets and adjusted for borrowings stood at EUR 4.25 on June 30, 2021 (previous year: EUR 3.87).

The principal factors impacting positively on cash flow from operations include net earnings and high cash flows from major projects. Effects that reduced cash flow derived primarily from the formation of trade receivables.

The negative cash flow from investment activities results from the acquisition of fixed assets (EUR 0.4 million; previous year: EUR 0.4 million) and payments for the acquisition of financial assets (EUR 5.0 million; previous year: EUR 3.9 million). Payments received from the reflow of investments in financial assets in an amount of EUR 2.4 million (previous year: EUR 0 million) had a positive impact on the cash flow from investment activities.

Besides cash outflows from investment activities, the payment of a dividend of EUR 1.67 per share (previous year: EUR 1.28 per share) – total amount distributed EUR 13.3 million (previous year: EUR 10.1 million) – and the repayment of lease liabilities in an amount of EUR 1.3 million (previous year: EUR 1.3 million) had a negative effect on cash and cash equivalents. The sale of 4 percent of the shares in ATOSS Aloud GmbH led to an increase in cash and cash equivalents of KEUR 211 (previous year: EUR 0).

As of June 30, 2021, ATOSS had an equity ratio of 42 percent (previous year: 40 percent).

Thanks to the consistently excellent earnings situation overall and sound asset position, the company expects its ability to meet its financial commitments at any time to remain unchanged in the future.

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 16 percent compared with the previous year and stood at EUR 8.2 million as of June 30, 2021 (previous year: EUR 7.0 million). R&D costs as a proportion of overall sales amounted to 18 percent (previous 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 524 in the previous year to 588. As of June 30, 2021, ATOSS is employing 209 members of staff in Development (previous year: 194), 171 in Consulting (previous year: 159), 129 in Sales and Marketing (previous year: 92) and 79 in Administration (previous year: 79).

Personnel costs for the current financial year totaled EUR 23.7 million on June 30, 2021 (previous year: EUR 20.1 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, 2020.

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 10.4 million and EUR 2.6 million respectively as of June 30, 2021, and this risk is dependent on the performance of the share price and movements in the gold price moving forward.

7. Outlook

ATOSS Software AG can look back on an exceptionally successful first half of the year with new records set in sales and earnings. Together with the consistently high figures in the order book which are primarily characterized by the successful expansion of cloud business in the first half of the year and consequently have played a pivotal role in raising the share of recurring revenue, ATOSS has an excellent platform for maintaining its strategic growth trajectory. For this reason, the Management Board is standing by its forecast for the whole of 2021, already increased at the start of the year. This forecast calls for sales to grow to EUR 95 million and an EBIT margin of at least 27 percent.
