Dear Stockholders:
The CANCOM group performed well in the second quarter of 2016, and the first half of the year has been a success on the whole. Consolidated sales revenues rose by 14.3 percent to € 492.2 million between January and June, and operating income continues to grow at a good rate.
Our strong position in the growth market of cloud computing is attested by Experton Group, which awarded CANCOM the title of Cloud Leader once again in a total of eight market categories in its Cloud Vendor Benchmark for 2016. We also received this major award in 2015 for our outstanding competitiveness and our attractive portfolio. The awards show that IT market experts believe CANCOM is in an excellent position to provide comprehensive, integrated solutions to meet the diverse needs of companies setting up cloud infrastructure. The Cloud Leader award provides a boost to the cloud computing business, but it will also have a positive impact on our IT solutions business, which comprises mobility and security solutions as well as big data and analytics.
In view of the group's positive performance, we remain optimistic about the second half of the year and 2016 as a whole. Our confident forecast is echoed by the vast majority of IT companies in Germany. According to the most recent IT sector barometer from BITKOM, Germany's digital association, 83 percent of the surveyed IT companies expect sales revenues to increase in the second half of the year.
We would like to thank you, our stockholders, for your confidence in CANCOM, and look forward to your continued involvement in the growth of our company.
Sincerely yours,
Klaus Weinmann CEO
Consolidated interim management report
1. Overview of the group
The CANCOM group is one of the leading providers of IT infrastructure and services in Germany and Austria. With its decentralized distribution and services structure, as well as central services in areas such as finance, purchasing, warehousing, logistics, marketing, product management and human resources, the group is well placed for sustainable, profitable growth. The group has locations in Germany, Austria, Switzerland and the U.S.A. in addition to a representative office in Brussels, Belgium.
Structure of the CANCOM group
CANCOM SE (also referred to as CANCOM), based in Munich, Germany, performs the central financial and management role for the equity investments held by the CANCOM group.
Areas of business
The cloud solutions operating segment comprises the CANCOM group's cloud and shared managed services business, including sales revenues from cloud hardware, software and services allocated to the projects. The service offer includes analysis, consulting, delivery, implementation and services, thus offering clients the necessary orientation and support for their conversion from traditional corporate IT systems to cloud computing. As part of its range of services, the CANCOM group can provide scalable cloud and managed services – in particular shared managed services – to run entire IT departments, or parts of them, for its clients. Distribution costs allocated to cloud distribution are included in the segment. The cloud business also benefits from synergies with CANCOM's central sales and marketing department, the costs of which are allocated to the IT solutions reportable segment.
The IT solutions operating segment of the CANCOM group offers comprehensive support for IT infrastructure and applications. The range of services offered includes IT strategy consulting, project planning and implementation, system integration, IT procurement via e-procurement services or as part of a project, in addition to professional IT services and support.
Focus of activities and sales markets
The CANCOM group is one of the largest independent integrated IT systems providers in Germany. It offers IT architecture, systems integration and managed services. As a provider of integrated services, CANCOM mainly focuses on IT services, in addition to distributing hardware and software from well-known manufacturers. The IT services offered by the group include consulting, the design of IT architectures and landscapes, and the design, integration and operation of IT systems – ranging from the performance of individual partial assignments (out-tasking) to taking over the complete operation of a company's IT systems.
The CANCOM group's client base therefore mainly includes commercial end-users, from small and medium enterprises to large enterprises and groups, as well as public-sector clients. Geographically, the CANCOM group operates primarily in Germany and Austria as well as in the U.S.A.
Explanation of the control system used within the group
To control and monitor the performance of the individual subsidiaries and the operating segments, CANCOM analyzes their monthly figures for, among other things, sales revenues, gross profit, operating expenditure and operating profit, and compares these key figures with the original plan as well as the quarterly forecast. For the purpose of management control, the company also regularly uses external indicators such as inflation rates, interest rates, the general economic trend and the performance of the IT sector, including forecasts. It also takes into account any data or indicators deriving from the early warning system of the group. Further details can be found in the risks and opportunities report.
Research and development activities
Innovation is very important for economic momentum and growth. As it is a service and trading enterprise, CANCOM does not conduct any research activities. Its development work focuses, for example, on software solutions, applications or architecture in IT growth segments such as cloud computing, virtualization, mobile solutions, IT security and shared managed services. Development work is limited in scope and is mainly used for the group's own purposes. During the period under review, further development work was carried out on the group's own IT architecture platform, CANCOM AHP Enterprise Cloud, in addition to customization of in-house software used by the company.
2. Economic report
The general economic situation and the performance of the IT sector
According to economic experts, the German economy has made a good start to the year 2016. Encouraging signs include the steady growth in production levels and the increase in exports in the industrial sector as well as in private demand. On the other hand, German companies' willingness to invest has been dampened by the slowness of the recovery in the global economy and political issues such Britain's decision to leave the European Union, as well as the economic problems of the euro area. Following the U.K. vote to leave the European Union, uncertainty as to how the situation will develop is likely to continue to dominate corporate investment in Europe.
The mood in the IT sector in Germany remains positive, according to the latest survey by Germany's digital association, BITKOM. The most recent IT sector barometer found that seven out of ten digital companies experienced an increase in revenues in the first half of 2016, and the vast majority of them are also optimistic about the prospects for the second half.
Impact on the CANCOM group's business performance
CANCOM SE's sales revenues continued to increase during the first six months of the year, with profits also up. Both figures exceeded those for the same period of 2015. The growth is driven by the cloud and managed services business as well as related solutions, such as mobility, security and big data and analytics, which contributed to the positive performance of the integrated IT systems business.
Employees
As at June 30, 2016, the CANCOM group employed 2,752 people (2015: 2,707).
The staff expenses for the first six months were as follows (in € '000):
| Jan. 1 - Jun. 30, 2016 €'000 |
Jan. 1 - Jun. 30, 2015 €'000 |
|
|---|---|---|
| Wages and salaries | 76,969 | 75,417 |
| Social security contributions | 12,393 | 12,200 |
| Pension expenses | 190 | 107 |
| Total | 89,552 | 87,724 |
3. Earnings, financial and assets position of the CANCOM Group
a) Earnings position
The CANCOM Group recorded a growth in its sales revenues and profits in the first six months of 2016 in comparison with the same period of 2015.
Consolidated sales revenues rose 14.3 percent, from € 430.5 million to € 492.2 million. The organic growth was 8.9 percent.
In Germany, sales revenues were up 13.1 percent, from € 385.2 million to € 435.8 million.
In international business, the group's sales revenues were up 24.3 percent, from € 45.3 million to € 56.3 million.
In the IT solutions segment, sales revenues were up by 12.9 percent, from € 367.8 million in the previous year to € 415.4 million in 2016. In the cloud solutions segment, sales revenues also experienced growth of 22.3 percent, from € 62.7 million to € 76.7 million.
The consolidated gross profit of the CANCOM group for the first six months of 2016 was 9.4 percent higher than in the same period of the previous year. It rose from € 130.6 million to € 142.9 million. The gross profit margin was 29.0 percent in comparison to 30.3 percent in 2015.

||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2015 | 130.6 | |||||
| 2016 | 142.9 |
Staff expenses increased from € 89.6 million to € 91.2 million. The ratio of staff expenditure fell from 20.4 percent to 18.2 percent, reflecting the change in the staff structure as a result of the group's increased activities in the higher-end consulting and services business.
At € 33.1 million, the consolidated EBITDA for the first six months of the fiscal year 2016 was up 39.7 percent on the figure of € 23.7 million achieved in the same period of 2015. This resulted in an improvement in the EBITDA margin, at 6.7 percent compared with 5.5 percent in the first half of 2015.
| CANCOM Group EBITDA: year-on-year comparison of figures for the first six months (in € million) |
|
|---|---|
| 2015 | 23.7 |
| 2016 | 33.1 |
Consolidated earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) totaled € 22.6 million, up 75.2 percent from € 12.9 million in 2015.
At € 13.9 million, the after-tax profit from continuing operations after deduction of minority interests was higher than in the figure generated in the previous year (€ 6.2 million). Earnings per share from continuing operations for the first six months of 2016 therefore amounted to € 0.88, compared with € 0.42 in the same period of 2015.
Order position
In the cloud solutions segment, and large parts of the IT solutions segment, orders are often placed over long periods. For this reason the reporting date figures do not give a good indication of the order situation, and they are therefore not published. At the time this management report was written, capacity utilization among our consultants was good in both business segments.
Explanations of individual items on the statement of income
Further details on items in the statement of income are given in the notes to the consolidated statement of income.
b) Financial and assets position
Objectives of financial management
The core objective of the financial management of the CANCOM group is to safeguard its liquidity at all times in such a way that day-to-day business activities can be continued. In addition, the group aims to achieve optimum profitability as well as a high credit status to ensure favorable refinancing rates.
Notes on the capital structure
On the assets side of the balance sheet, current assets grew from € 277.4 million to € 335.2 million between December 31, 2015 and June 20, 2016. Cash and cash equivalents also increased from € 85.8 million to € 105.8 million in the same period. Other current financial assets increased from € 7.8 million to € 39.8 million. This amount included, inter alia, time deposits with banks of € 30 million. Trade accounts receivable were up from € 145.8 million to € 153.3 million. Inventories also went up from € 27.9 million to € 28.7 million.
At € 159.0 million as at June 30, 2016, non-current assets were almost unchanged in comparison with € 158.9 million as at December 31, 2015.
On the liabilities side of the balance sheet, there was a reduction in current liabilities from € 159.6 million as at December 31, 2015 to € 149.5 million. Trade accounts payable decreased from € 106.8 million to € 94.7 million as at June 30, 2016.
Non-current liabilities, consisting of debt with a residual term of at least one year, also decreased. They were down from € 72.4 million as at December 31, 2015 to € 69.6 million as at June 30, 2016.
Nominal equity went up from € 204.3 million as at December 31, 2015 to € 275.2 million, mainly as a result of the capital increase against cash contributions carried out in the first quarter of the fiscal year. Overall, this resulted in a further improvement of the equity ratio from 46.8 percent as at December 31, 2015 to 55.7 percent at the end of the first six months of 2016, with an increase of total assets to € 494.2 million, compared with € 436.3 million as at December 31, 2015.
Further details of the individual balance sheet items can be found in the notes to the consolidated balance sheet.
Notes to the statement of cash flows
The cash flow from ordinary activities stood at € 2.7 million as at June 30, 2016 compared with a negative cash flow of € 15.0 million in the same period of 2015, mainly owing to a change in the working capital.
There was a negative cash flow from investing activities of € 43.1 million, which results from time deposits with banks. The figure recorded for the first half of 2015 was minus € 15.1 million.
As a result of the capital increase, there was a positive cash flow from financing activities of € 60.5 million, compared with minus € 8.3 million in 2015.
In total, this resulted in cash and cash equivalents of € 105.8 million, compared with € 76.3 million in the previous year.

Details of the risks can be found in the annual report for 2015, starting on page 30. The annual report can be downloaded from www.cancom.com/corporate/company/investor-relations or obtained in printed form, free of charge, from the company.
7. Opportunities for future development
There have been no major changes in the opportunities for future development at CANCOM since the start of the current fiscal year. Details of the opportunities can be found in the annual report for 2015, starting on page 39. The annual report can be downloaded from www.cancom.com/corporate/company/investor-relations or obtained free of charge from the company.
8. Forecast
There are diverging expectations among experts with regard to the performance of the German economy in 2016. Forecasts for gross domestic product (GDP) growth range from just over 1 percent to more than 2 percent.
The IT market will continue to be shaped by strong growth and innovation. The complexity and variety of solutions, and thus also the demands placed on company IT departments, will continue to increase – driven, among other things, by changed work and usage patterns. The digitization of nearly all sectors and the resulting comprehensive networking – along with the Internet of Things – are increasingly driving the development of business models, production processes and products, across all sizes of organization and in all areas of the economy. Against this background, a rise in the demand for innovative and intelligent IT solutions can be expected.
BITKOM, Germany's digital association, expects revenues from software, IT services and IT hardware to grow by 3 percent to € 83.5 billion in 2016 – significantly faster than the economy as a whole. However, great variations are anticipated in the performances of the individual market segments. The software and IT services businesses are expected to experience the strongest growth (6.2 percent and 2.7 percent respectively), with demand in areas such as big data and cloud computing solutions growing fastest as a result of the digitization of companies in all sectors.
Anticipated performance of the CANCOM group
Thanks to its proven expertise and outstanding market position in the IT growth areas referred to above – cloud computing, mobility, security and shared managed services – CANCOM aims to continue growing its two operating segments, both organically and through acquisitions, at a faster rate than the German IT market, so continuously expanding its market share. To achieve this objective, CANCOM decided at an early stage to gear its business policy to the IT growth areas, designing its sales and services structure around them while focusing on the expansion of the higher-end services and consulting business. With its integrated portfolio of services across all areas of IT, and its flexibility in providing individually tailored packages for its clients, CANCOM has major client advantages to enable it to penetrate the market even further and more comprehensively. In addition, the increasing complexity of IT is stretching smaller integrated systems providers to the limits of their capabilities and as such could result in the CANCOM group gaining new clients and orders – with positive impacts on the IT solutions and cloud solutions business.
In the past year, the Executive Board set the course for further growth and good performance in the future. CANCOM focuses on profitable business in the traditional IT environment and withdraws without hesitation from low-growth or declining areas. The IT solutions and cloud solutions operating segments benefit from each other's business, due to the interactions between the CANCOM units across the group and the fact that the provision of integrated solutions for clients usually requires input from both areas.
CANCOM has significantly expanded its market presence and improved its client proximity in the German-speaking area (i.e. Germany, Austria and Switzerland). The group is represented all over Germany and Austria by its many service and consulting locations. It also has subsidiaries in Switzerland and the U.S.A. as well as a representative office in Brussels, Belgium. CANCOM intends to continue strengthening its market position, partly through selective acquisitions, while taking advantage of marketing and cost synergies. The highly fragmented service provider landscape, particularly in the IT environment in the German-speaking area, continues to offer favorable conditions for CANCOM to act as a market consolidator.
Against the background of the group's successful performance in 2015 and in view of its favorable positioning in the growing market of cloud computing and in the IT market as a whole, the Executive Board expects further growth and an improvement in profits if the demand for IT products remains steady.
Unforeseen events could influence the anticipated performance of both the group as a whole and of the business segments, IT solutions and cloud solutions. The Executive Board currently expects a further increase in the sales revenues and gross profit of the group as a whole in the fiscal year 2016. The growth of the CANCOM group should continue to exceed the growth of the German IT market. In the fiscal year 2016, the Executive Board anticipates a further increase in the CANCOM group's EBITDA, which should grow faster than the organic growth in sales revenues owing to an improved product mix.
CANCOM believes in an increase in the sales revenues, gross profit and EBITDA generated by the IT solutions operating segment. The group aims to achieve growth in these key figures at a higher rate than that of the German IT market, which is the market of particular relevance to the group. For the cloud solutions operating segment, the Executive Board expects significant increases in sales revenue, gross profit and EBITDA.

A. The principles adopted for the consolidated financial statements
1. General information
The consolidated financial statements of CANCOM SE and its subsidiaries ('the CANCOM group' or 'the group') for the fiscal year 2016 were drawn up according to the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) or the International Accounting Standards (IAS).
The consolidated interim financial statements were drawn up in euro. All amounts are shown in thousand euro (€ thousand) unless otherwise stated. In individual cases rounding of figures may result in inconsistencies between totals and sums of constituent parts. For the same reason, percentage may not exactly match the aggregate values shown.
This consolidated interim financial report is condensed and was drawn up in compliance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. It should be read in conjunction with the IFRS-compliant consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year 2015, which can be downloaded from www.cancom.de.
2. Reporting entity
The consolidated financial statements include CANCOM SE and all subsidiaries in which CANCOM SE has either a direct or an indirect majority stockholding, or in which it holds the majority of the voting rights. These subsidiaries are fully consolidated.
Xerabit GmbH was merged into CANCOM GmbH. The merger is documented in a merger contract dated April 21, 2016 and was entered in the commercial register of CANCOM GmbH on April 29, 2016.
3. Accounting and valuation policies
The consolidated interim financial report is compiled using basically the same accounting and valuation methods as those used for the consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year 2015.
B. Notes to the consolidated balance sheet
1. Other current financial assets
This item comprises receivables from banks (€ 30,000 thousand), claims to the payment of a purchase price (€ 4,167 thousand), bonuses due from suppliers (€ 3,550 thousand), marketing revenue (€ 1,077), creditors with a debit balance (€ 870 thousand) and receivables from staff (€ 116 thousand).
2. Prepaid expenses and other current assets
This item mainly consists of other current assets such as tax refunds (€ 3,182 thousand), commission income (€ 344 thousand), insurance refunds (€ 154 thousand), and receivables from social insurance institutions (€ 26 thousand).
The prepaid expenses (€ 2,919 thousand) include deferred insurance premiums and expenses paid in advance.
3. Deferred tax assets
The deferred tax assets are as follows:
| Deferred tax from | temporary differences €'000 |
tax loss carry forwards €'000 |
|---|---|---|
| As at January 1, 2016 | 2,398 | 2,983 |
| Tax income/expense from profit and loss calculation |
75 | -718 |
| Currency exchange gains/losses * | 1 | 0 |
| As at June 30, 2016 | 2,474 | 2,265 |
* directly recognized in equity
As at June 30, 2016, the CANCOM group had corporate tax loss carryovers of € 6.5 million and trade tax loss carryovers of € 7.3 million. The unused corporate tax losses for which no deferred tax claim was recognized in the balance sheet amounted to € 0.0 million. The trade tax loss carryovers for which no deferred tax claim was recognized also amounted to € 0.0 million. On the basis of the planned tax results, it is expected that the capitalized deferred tax advantages from loss carryovers will be realized.
The deferred taxes from temporary differences are mainly the result of differences in intangible assets (€ 704 thousand), property, plant and equipment/tangible assets (€ 530 thousand), other financial liabilities (€ 395 thousand), pension provisions (€ 382 thousand), other liabilities (€ 245 thousand) and provisions (€ 115 thousand).
4. Other current financial liabilities
This item refers to liabilities to former affiliated entities (€ 2,778 thousand), debtors with a credit balance (€ 2,014 thousand), outstanding bills of charges (€ 699 thousand), purchase price liabilities (€ 363 thousand), Supervisory Board remuneration (€ 160 thousand) and rent (€ 90 thousand).
5. Other provisions
The provisions mainly include the variable component of the purchase price for shares in affiliated entities (€ 5,889 thousand), guarantees and warranties (€ 1,421 thousand), copyright fees (€ 1,174 thousand), salaries (€ 595 thousand), provisions for anniversaries (€ 266 thousand), archiving costs (€ 170 thousand), financial statement costs (€ 121 thousand), provisions for additional leasing costs (€ 70 thousand), provisions for termination and severance payments (€ 68 thousand) as well as for contingent risks (€ 55 thousand).
The total provisions include long-term provisions of € 8,098 thousand, which are disclosed under other non-current liabilities. These provisions are principally for variable components of purchase prices for corporate acquisitions (€ 3,986 thousand), copyright fees (€ 1,174 thousand), guarantees and warranties (€ 672 thousand), provisions for anniversaries (€ 266 thousand), archiving costs (€ 135 thousand), decommissioning and restoration liabilities (€ 128 thousand), termination payments (€ 68 thousand) for which a provision is legally mandatory in Austria, and provisions for additional leasing costs (€ 12 thousand).
6. Other current liabilities
Other current liabilities mainly comprise sales tax (€ 6,950 thousand), bonuses to board members, officers and staff (€ 6,185 thousand), vacation and overtime entitlements (€ 5,791 thousand), tax on salaries and church tax (€ 3,172 thousand), payments to employers' liability insurance association (€ 561 thousand), wages and salaries (€ 318 thousand), social security contributions (€ 231 thousand) compensation levy for non-employment of the severely handicapped (€ 123 thousand), and convertible bond interest liabilities (€ 102 thousand).
7. Convertible bond
In March 2014, CANCOM SE issued a convertible bond for a total nominal amount of € 45,000 thousand. The bond matures in March 2019. The denomination per unit is € 100,000, and holders are entitled to convert the bond into up to 1,055,510 new no-par value bearer shares in CANCOM SE. The initial conversion price was € 42.6334 per share. The conversion ratio is therefore 2,345.5788 shares per bond at a nominal amount of € 100,000. The conversion right for the convertible bond can be exercised throughout its term to maturity. The bond has a coupon of 0.875 percent. Interest will be paid annually on March 27, starting on March 27, 2015.
On the balance sheet, the convertible bond will be split into an equity component and a debt component. The resulting value of the equity component is € 5,942 thousand, which is recognized under capital reserves. An interest expense of € 788 thousand was recognized for the bond in the first six months of 2016.
8. Deferred tax liabilities
The deferred tax liabilities are as follows:
| €'000 | |
|---|---|
| As at January 1, 2016 | 8,891 |
| Tax income from profit and loss calculation | -1,283 |
| Currency exchange gains/losses * | -96 |
| As at June 30, 2016 | 7,512 |
* directly recognized in equity
The deferred tax liabilities arise from deviations from the tax balance sheets. They are the result of the recognition and revaluation of intangible assets (€ 5,406 thousand), other financial assets (€ 532 thousand), loans to affiliated entities (€ 439 thousand), software development costs (€ 437 thousand), property, plant and equipment/tangible assets (€ 259 thousand), goodwill (€ 226 thousand), convertible bonds (€ 142 thousand), prepaid expenses (€ 31 thousand), other liabilities (€ 18 thousand), provisions (€ 8 thousand), contracts in progress (€ 7 thousand), equity-accounted investments (€ 6 thousand), and financial assets (€ 1 thousand).
The deferred tax liabilities are recognized at an individual tax rate of between 25 percent (for the Austrian subsidiary) and 39.83 percent (for the U.S. subsidiary).
9. Other non-current financial liabilities
Other non-current financial liabilities include purchase price liabilities of € 1,134 thousand and rent obligations of € 457 thousand.
10. Equity
CANCOM SE carried out a capital increase against cash contributions, which was recorded in the commercial register on March 4, 2016. Part of the authorized capital (2015/I) was used to increase the capital stock from € 14,879,574 to € 16,367,531 by issuing 1,487,957 new no-par value bearer shares. The existing stockholders' subscription rights were excluded. The new shares carry dividend rights from January 1, 2015. The total issuing value of the new shares is € 66.2 million, which will be used to strengthen the equity base for the further organic and inorganic growth of the group.

Reconciliation
Reconciliation shows items not directly connected with the operating segments and the other entities. They include sales within the segments and the income tax expense.
The income tax expense is not a component of the profits of the operating segments. Since the tax expense is allocated to the parent company where the parent company is the taxable entity, the allocation of the income tax does not exactly correspond to the structure of the segments.
