ATOSS | 2024 Half-year Report

Letter to shareholders

img-2.jpeg

Dear Shareholders, Ladies and Gentlemen,

We are pleased to inform you that ATOSS Software SE has successfully continued its strong performance of recent years in the first half of 2024. This means that the continuation of our growth course is now in its 19th year - and nothing stands in the way of a record year.

Workforce management as a strategic tool in digital transformation

The digitalization of the world of work is in full swing and we are proud to be actively shaping this change as a trendsetter and innovator in the workforce management market, providing positive impetus with our solutions. Demographic change and digital transformation are placing high demands on workforce scheduling and are massively changing the world of work. In addition, ever rising skilled labour shortages are forcing companies to deploy their existing staff far more efficiently. The report on skilled labour of the German Chamber of Commerce and Industry (DIHK) illustrates aptly just how challenging the current situation is for companies. According to the survey, 82 percent of the companies surveyed expect negative consequences to ensue from the current staff shortages. ${ }^{1}$ In this environment, it is imperative for every company - regardless of sector and size - to prioritize the digitalization of its HR processes in order to remain successful on the market over the long term.

As a reliable business partner excelling with maximum investment security and innovative strength, we are ideally positioned to successfully benefit from the growing opportunities in the workforce management market. Not least, this is distinctly demonstrated by the high growth rates ATOSS has achieved in recent years.

Successful change of legal form and sustained profitability on an international level

The successful change of legal form of ATOSS Software AG to a European company in June of this year has set the course for further expansion. The conversion to an SE, as a supranational legal form, not only marks a significant step in the corporate development of the ATOSS Group, but also a clear commitment to flexibility and growth in an increasingly globalized market environment. The impressive growth and success story is also attracting the attention of the public.

According to recent research by Handelsblatt, which analyzed all listed companies worldwide with a market capitalization of more than one billion euros, ATOSS ranks as one of the only two German companies to have consistently achieved an operating return on sales of 20 percent or more over the past decade. This positions ATOSS, alongside international corporations such as Apple, Alphabet and Oracle, in the bracket of the 5 percent of the world's most profitable companies. ${ }^{1}$ This underlines our position as a leading player in the market and our continuous upward trend. At the same time, this distinction motivates us to bring our vision of a human economy to life every single day.

Our strength, however, is not only reflected in the impressive sales and earnings figures, but also in the current key figures on the order books. Here, the renewed increase in demand for cloud solutions compared to the previous year is particularly noteworthy. The cloud order backlog, which shows revenues from contractually committed cloud usage fees within the next 12 months, advanced to EUR 76.0 million in the first half of the year (December 31, 2023: EUR 64.3 million). This key cloud indicator also includes the cloud Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR for short) resulting from current cloud usage fees, which increased by 20 percent to a total of EUR 70.6 million compared to the year-end figure as of December 31, 2023. Total ARR (consisting of cloud usage fees and maintenance revenues) climbed by 14 percent to EUR 109.1 million in the first six months until June 30, 2024.

In view of the outstanding growth of the business in the first half of the year, we are confirming our sales forecast of EUR 170 million for the 2024 financial year. Due to the positive developments and expectations for the further course of business we have lifted our forecast for the EBIT margin to at least 33 percent (previously: 30 percent).

With best regards

Facts and figures at a glance

Economic environment

After the economy spent the last two years largely in the grip of stagnation as a result of the energy price shock, there are growing indications at the end of the first half of the year that the economy in Germany is picking up. This is evidenced by the latest leading indicators from various economic research institutes. For example, according to the summer forecast of the Leibniz Institute for Economic Research Halle (IWH), GDP is likely to grow by 0.3 percent in 2024. ${ }^{1}$ Economic experts from the German Institute for Economic Research (DIW) have also arrived at the same assessment, raising their forecast for this year's economic growth to 0.3 percent (previously 0.1 percent). ${ }^{3 / 3}$

By comparison with the economy as a whole, the digital sector is showing stable growth overall in a tough environment. This is underlined by surveys conducted by the digital association Bitkom and the ifo Institute. The digital index jointly prepared by the two organizations stood at 7.9 points in June 2024. Consequently, it continues to beat ifo's business climate index for the overall economy which remains in negative territory at minus 6.3 points. Information technology, in particular, is benefiting from consistently strong growth rates. With regard to this year, for example, Bitkom is expecting the software sector in Germany to expand by 9.8 percent to EUR 46.6 billion. ${ }^{4}$

The company

The positive growth in revenues and earnings in the first half of 2024 is a testament to customers' continuing interest in professional, digital workforce management solutions and also highlights the competitive strength of ATOSS.

The long-term growth of the key financial indicators remains very pleasing and matches the forecasts announced by the company.

ATOSS on the capital market

After a successful first half-year of trading, the ATOSS stock set a new all-time high in the first six months, thereby maintaining the positive growth achieved over many years. At the end of March, the stock reached its highest level since the company's flotation in 2000 at a price of EUR 139.25 and closed the half-year on June 28, 2024 at a price of EUR 112.

The long-term view also shows the strength of the ATOSS stock. From 2015 to the end of June 2024, the share price has risen by 1,251 percent. By way of comparison, the DAXsubsector Software PerformanceIndex was only able to put on 269 percent over the same period. The SDAX and TecDAX stock indices on which ATOSS Software SE is quoted also posted significantly lower rises of 97 percent and 141 percent respectively in the same period. The ATOSS stock has therefore significantly outperformed all three indices and outpaced the market by an appreciable factor.

Dividend policy

Every year, ATOSS Software SE distributes around 75 percent of its earnings per share to its shareholders assuming there are corresponding profits to be distributed. The company has been systematically pursuing this transparent policy since 2003 (having adjusted the dividend rate from 50 to 75 percent in 2020). In addition, financial years 2006, 2013, 2016, 2019 and 2023 were capped off with attractive special dividends. In total, long-term shareholders of ATOSS have received dividends of EUR 11.92 per share since the company went public.*

Given this dividend policy - combined 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.

Stock split

The stock split resolved by the Annual General Meeting of April 30, 2024 was carried out with effect from June 25, 2024. For every existing share held, each shareholder received one new share by means of a corresponding credit in their securities account. Technically, the stock split was carried out by means of a capital increase from company funds of EUR 7,953,136 thereby raising the share capital from EUR 7,953,136 to EUR 15,906,272. As a result of the split, the share capital of ATOSS Software SE doubled from 7,953,136 to 15,906,272.

Shareholder structure

img-11.jpeg
*Direct shareholdings as of 06/30/24

AOB Invest GmbH which is controlled by founder and CEO of ATOSS Software SE, Andreas F. J. Obereder, holds a share of 30.000028 percent in ATOSS Software SE.

Analysts praise outstanding growth of the business in the first half year, lifting their forecast

For the analysts at Warburg Research and Hauck \& Aufhäuser, ATOSS was once again able to impress with strong business figures in the first half of the year. In addition to new records in sales and earnings and an increase in the earnings forecast, the impressive expansion of cloud activities was particularly emphasised.

Against the backdrop of the unchanged strong figures and the growth potential, which is also considered to be very high in the long term, the share was given a 'buy' rating on 25 July 2024 following the publication of the half-year figures by the analysts at Warburg Research with a 'buy' rating and a price target of EUR 142. The assessment by analysts at Hauck \& Aufhäuser is similar, with a 'hold' rating (as at 25 July 2024) and a price target of EUR 114 after the second half of the year.

1. Corporate structure and organization

ATOSS Software AG has successfully completed its conversion to a European Company (Societas Europaea/SE) announced in 2023 with the change in form entered in the commercial register of the District Court of Munich, and has been trading as ATOSS Software SE since May 22, 2024.

The Annual General Meeting of shareholders had approved the conversion to an SE on April 30, 2024. On the same day, the newly constituted Supervisory Board of ATOSS Software SE appointed the members of ATOSS Software SE's Management Board. The company has retained its headquarters in Munich, Germany. The dual system consisting of a management board and a supervisory board has been maintained. The Supervisory Board of ATOSS Software SE continues to be made up of four members, three of whom were elected by the Annual General Meeting on April 30, 2024 with one member delegated by the eligible voters defined in the articles of association.

Fundamentally, the legal status of ATOSS Software AG shareholders is unaffected by the conversion to an SE. The company's listings on the regulated market (Prime Standard) of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange and on the SDAX and TecDAX are also unaffected by the change in legal form.

2. Business and operating conditions: German economy slowly recovering from the crisis

After losing momentum toward the end of 2023, the global economy grew noticeably faster again in the first quarter of this year. The fact that production growth in emerging countries - predominantly in China - proved significantly stronger than hitherto played a pivotal role in this development. In the advanced economies, however, economic expansion continued at a somewhat subdued pace overall. While the strong economic performance in the United States slowed, the economy in Europe picked up noticeably after a period of stagnation. Nevertheless, the EU Commission continues to see high geopolitical risks to the economy in the Eurozone, and according to its economic forecast published in mid-May, it is expecting gross domestic product (GDP) to expand by 0.9 percent. ${ }^{1}$

The German economy is also slowly working its way out of the crisis. The sentiment among companies has brightened since the start of the year. According to ifo economic surveys, most companies admittedly continue to assess the situation as poor. However, expectations in terms of developments in the coming months have risen across all economic sectors. ${ }^{2}$

By comparison with the overall economy, the ICT sector continues to operate at a significantly higher level and benefit from full order books. Companies in the IT and telecommunications sector rate their business position overall as good as surveys by Bitkom and the ifo Institute continue to show. The digital index jointly prepared by the two organizations stood at 7.9 points in June. It thus continues to beat ifo's business climate index for the overall economy which remains in negative territory at minus 6.3 points. Information technology, in particular, is benefiting from consistently strong growth rates. With regard to this year, for example, the digital association Bitkom is expecting the software sector in Germany to expand by 9.8 percent to EUR 46.6 billion. ${ }^{3}$

Against this backdrop, ATOSS recorded very pleasing business development in the first half of 2024, with revenue growth of 14 percent as well as a rise of 23 percent in operating earnings (EBIT). This business growth is primarily due to the sustainable expansion of its cloud business and the increasing share of recurring revenues as a direct result.

3. Earnings: Strong performance in the first half of the year

In the first half of fiscal 2024, ATOSS recorded 14 percent growth in total revenues which increased to EUR 83.8 million (previous year: EUR 73.2 million). Of this amount, EUR 60.9 million (previous year: EUR 51.8 million) was accounted for by the Software division, with revenues advancing by 18 percent. Driven by the dynamic expansion of its cloud business, revenues from the cloud and subscriptions appreciated by 37 percent to EUR 33.9 million (previous year: EUR 24.8 million) and now account for a 41 percent share of total revenues (previous year: 34 percent). Together with the 9 percent gains in software maintenance revenues amounting to EUR 19.4 million (previous year: EUR 17.7 million), recurring revenues advanced year on year by 25 percent to EUR 53.3 million (previous year: EUR 42.5 million). Recurring revenues from the cloud and maintenance as a proportion of total revenues amounted to 64 percent (previous year: 58 percent) in the first half of the year. Revenues from consulting services expanded to EUR 18.0 million in the same period (previous year: EUR 16.4 million).

Operating earnings (EBIT) grew by EUR 5.5 million to EUR 29.7 million. The EBIT margin amounts to 35 percent (previous year: 33 percent) which exceeds the forecast made at the beginning of the year of 30 percent for the whole of 2024, primarily due to prudent cost management and the temporary deferral of investments in the expansion of staff resources.

Earnings before taxes (EBT) were 28 percent higher at EUR 31.1 million (previous year: EUR 24.4 million). Net income for the first half of the year amounted to EUR 21.3 million (previous year: EUR 16.2 million), Earnings per share increased from EUR 1.02 to EUR 1.34.1

In this context, the renewed year-on-year increase in demand for cloud solutions is worthy of particular mention. For example, the cloud order backlog which shows revenues from contractually committed cloud usage fees within the next 12 months, advanced to EUR 76.0 million in the first half of the year (December 31, 2023: EUR 64.3 million). This key cloud indicator also includes cloud Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR for short) resulting from current cloud usage fees which increased by 20 percent to a total of EUR 70.6 million by comparison with the year-end figure as of December 31, 2023. Total ARR (consisting of cloud usage fees and maintenance revenues) climbed by 14 percent to EUR 109.1 million in the first six months until June 30, 2024.

4. Net assets and financial position

In the first six months of the year, cash flow from operations totaled EUR 29.3 million (previous year: EUR 25.1 million). Liquidity (cash and cash equivalents less borrowings) rose compared with the previous year period from EUR 29.1 million to EUR 64.3 million. The overall position comprising liquidity and other current and non-current financial assets) expanded year on year from EUR 56.9 million to EUR 83.3 million in spite of the dividend payment of EUR 26.8 million (EUR 3.37 per share - before stock split) at the beginning of May 2024. Liquidity per share on June 30, 2024, including these other current and non-current financial assets and adjusted for borrowings, stood at EUR 5.23 (previous year: EUR 3.58). ${ }^{1}$

The principal factors impacting positively on cash flow from operating activities include net income and the increase in contract liabilities. Effects reducing cash flow ensue principally from the fall in other current financial and non-financial liabilities as a result of the payment of salary and commission liabilities.

The negative cash flow from investing activities is due solely to the acquisition of fixed assets in an amount of EUR 0.6 million (previous year: EUR 1.3 million).

Furthermore, the payment of a dividend of EUR 3.37 (previous year: EUR 2.83) per share (before the stock split) - i.e. total distribution of EUR 26.8 million (previous year: EUR 22.5 million) - the repayment of lease liabilities in an amount of EUR 1.6 million (previous year: EUR 1.4 million) had the effect of reducing liquidity.

As of June 30, 2024, ATOSS is reporting an equity ratio of 48 percent (previous year: 46 percent).

Thanks to its overall good earnings position and continuing sound financial position, the company expects its ability to meet its financial commitments to remain unchanged in the future.

5. Product development

Research and development remains an important element in ATOSS' growth strategy with the objective of further expanding its strong positioning as technology leader in workforce management. Research and development costs in the first six months were up by 10 percent compared with the previous year and stood at EUR 12.7 million as of June 30, 2024 (previous year: EUR 11.5 million). R\&D costs as a proportion of overall revenues amounted to 15 percent (previous year: 16 percent).

The company continues to refrain from capitalizing the expense of developing product innovations. All such expenses are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.

6. Employees

The number of employees increased to 813 compared with 735 in the previous year. As of June 30, 2024, ATOSS employed 311 staff in Development (previous year: 283), 192 in Consulting (previous year: 171), 186 in Sales and Marketing (previous year: 171) and 124 in Administration (previous year: 110).

Personnel costs for the current financial year totaled EUR 38.2 million on June 30, 2024 (previous year: EUR 34.4 million).

7. Report on opportunities and risks

The risk structure has not changed materially by comparison with the presentation in the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2023.

As of June 30, 2024, the market risk at Group level associated with financial assets invested in investment funds amounted to EUR 5.2 million at fair value. In the case of financial assets invested in gold, the market risk at Group level as of June 30, 2024 amounted to EUR 3.7 million at fair value.

8. Outlook

ATOSS Software SE can look back on an exceptionally successful first half of the year with new records set in revenues and earnings. Once again, this underlines the consistency of ATOSS' impressive growth which is now being maintained for the 19th record year in succession. Besides technologically leading software solutions, this success is founded first and foremost on the Group's attractive business model, its financial strength and the high level of predictability of revenues which is continuously expanded by consistent growth in the Cloud business.

In view of the growth of the business in the first half of the year, the Management Board has again confirmed its revenue forecast for the 2024 fiscal year. This forecast envisages revenue growth to EUR 170 million. The forecast for the EBIT margin has been lifted to at least 33 percent (previous year: 30 percent) due to the positive growth in the first half of the year and expectations of further performance.

Notes to the consolidated half-year financial statements

1. General information

The present condensed, consolidated half-year financial statements as of June 30, 2024 were prepared in compliance with the regulations of IAS 34. The requirements of the German Accounting Standard (DRS) No. 16 for interim reporting were also met.

The consolidated half-year financial statements do not comprise all the disclosures in the notes that financial statements for a full financial year usually include. The present consolidated half-year financial statements must therefore be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the financial year ending on December 31, 2023.

The accounting policies adopted correspond to those for the prior financial year and the associated interim reporting period.

The indicators covered in the report have been rounded to the nearest whole number. Rounded figures can occasionally cause numbers in this report not to add up exactly to the total given and percentages not to match the values presented.

The Management Board is satisfied that the net assets, financial position and results of operations portrayed in the present consolidated half-year financial statements as well as the cash flows convey a true and fair picture of the company's financial position. The present consolidated half-year financial report was not subjected to a review by the auditor nor to a full audit of the financial statements.

2. Reporting period

These condensed, consolidated half-year financial statements were prepared as of June 30, 2024 for the reporting period from January 1, 2024 to June 30, 2024.

3. Currency

Subscribed capital

The share capital of ATOSS Software SE as of June 30, 2024 amounted to EUR 15,906,272 (12/31/2023: EUR 7,953,136) and is divided into 15,906,272 bearer shares. Each share represents EUR 1.00 of the share capital.

The stock split adopted by the Annual General Meeting of April 30, 2024 was carried out with effect from June 25, 2024 (record date).

The share capital of ATOSS Software SE doubled as a result of the capital increase from EUR 7,953,136 to EUR 15,906,272 shares.

Capital reserve
