Overview: First half of FY 2016/2017

DATAGROUP SE has accelerated its strong and profitable growth in the second quarter of FY 2016/2017 once again. Revenues grew by one third, earnings per share almost tripled. Based on the very good business development and the recent acquisition of IT service provider HanseCom, the management board raises its guidance for FY 2016/2017.

In the second quarter of FY 2016/2017 (01.01. - 31.03.2017), DATAGROUP achieved a strong increase in revenues of 33% yoy. The IT service provider thus has been able to accelerate growth even further after an increase of 29% had been entered in the books in the first quarter. Q2 revenues amounted to EUR 54.6m (previous year EUR 41.1m). This was due to strong organic growth of 10% and the takeover of IT specialists from Hewlett-Packard Enterprise in September 2016. The significant expansion of the high-margin core business with Cloud and outsourcing services leads to a disproportionate increase in earnings. Quarterly earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) jumped 77% to EUR 6.3m (previous year EUR 3.5m). The EBITDA margin was up from 8.6% to 11.5%. Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) more than doubled to EUR 4.3m (previous year EUR 1.9m), corresponding to an increase of 123%. Earnings per share (EPS) almost tripled yoy from 13 cents to 36 cents.

In the first half of FY 2016/2017 (01.10.2016 - 31.03.2017) DATAGROUP boosted revenues by 31% to EUR 108m (previous year EUR 82.7m). The increase in EBITDA, which was up 92% yoy to EUR 11.5m (previous year EUR 6.0m), was even more pronounced. EPS improved from 17 cents to 59 cents. When accounting for the 10% capital increase on April 5, 2017, EPS amounted to 54 cents.

"We are very pleased with the course of the fiscal year up to now, especially with the strong organic growth", commented DATAGROUP CEO Max H.-H. Schaber. "The operating business with long-term service contracts and recurring income is developing extremely well. The acquisition of IT service provider HanseCom will provide an additional impetus and the successful capital increase creates financial scope for further strong growth. All of this makes us look to the future with great optimism and enthusiasm!"

The capital increase by 10% has substantially strengthened equity. Resulting from a significant extension of the balance sheet by 55% in the last fiscal year, the equity ratio had dropped to below 20% despite the very good operating business trend. The reasons were sharp increases in pension liabilities in the wake of the takeover of 306 IT specialists from Hewlett-Packard Enterprise as well as the issuance of a promissory note loan with a volume of EUR 30m to secure the low level of interest over the long term. At the reporting date on March 31,

2017, the equity ratio stood at 18% (including subordinated loan: 20%). When including the issue proceeds of the capital increase of over EUR 21m, the equity ratio would have been 28% at the reporting date (including subordinated loan: 29%). The sustainable improvement of the equity base enables DATAGROUP to continue to play an active and dynamic role in the consolidation of the market for IT services.

Since its IPO, DATAGROUP has acquired 19 companies or parts of companies, the most recent of which was Hamburg-based IT service provider HanseCom in early April. The company has some 70 employees and generates annual revenue of c EUR 16m, which will be consolidated in the annual financial statement of DATAGROUP SE from May 2017. In line with DATAGROUP's corporate strategy, HanseCom will act as an independent subsidiary in the market under the new name DATAGROUP Operate IT GmbH. At the same time, DATAGROUP's and HanseCom's service profiles will be interlinked so that customers benefit from the broader service offering and expertise within the group.

"An above-average customer satisfaction is one of our most important competitive advantages", said DATAGROUP board member and Chief Operating Officer Dirk Peters. "As our corporate structure is heavily influenced by the German Mittelstand, we are always close to our customers and at eye-level. At the same time, our structure guarantees a consistently high level of quality. This is achieved with our joint full-service portfolio CORBOX, which is partly produced locally and partly in central service factories, but always on the basis of our standardised production processes. This combination of proximity to our Mittelstand customers and certified process and service qualities is our core strength in the market."

Based on the very good development of the operating business and the successful acquisition of HanseCom, the management board raises its guidance for the current fiscal year 2016/2017 and now expects revenues of EUR 215 – 225m (previously EUR 210-220m) and EBITDA of EUR 22.0 – 23.0m (previously EUR 21.5 – 22.5m).

Organisational and legal structure of the DATAGROUP Group

DATAGROUP is one of the leading IT service providers in Germany1 . In essence, the following operating subsidiaries are under the umbrella of DATAGROUP SE at the reference date on March 31, 2017:

Within the DATAGROUP Group, DATAGROUP SE assumes the central financing and management function for its entities. It provides central services such as accounting, human resources, and the central IT services for the group companies.

Since the IPO in 2006, DATAGROUP SE has acquired 19 companies or business units, most recently HanseCom Gesellschaft für Informations- und Kommunikationsdienstleistungen mbH, which will be consolidated in the annual financial statement of DATAGROUP SE from May 2017. The acquisition strategy primarily focuses on IT services companies in Germany. It is based on a buy-and-build strategy (i.e. the

acquired companies complement or strengthen DATAGROUP's existing service portfolio) and a buy-andturnaround strategy (i.e. the acquired companies are in situations of radical change).

DATAGROUP SE integrates these companies into the Group. In this process, the individual companies are preserved as much as possible so as not to jeopardise the proximity to the customer and the customer relationships that to some extent have been existing for decades.

All companies are operated under the uniform brand name DATAGROUP across Germany. Newly acquired companies are renamed after a transition period. An umbrella brand campaign throughout Germany actively promotes the perception of DATAGROUP and an increase in brand awareness within the relevant target group.

The DATAGROUP Group is to grow within the context of this acquisition strategy in the future as well.

Revenue and earnings

In H1 2016/2017, revenues amounted to TEUR 108,054 after TEUR 82,680 In H1 2015/2016. Sales increased by TEUR 25,374 or 30.7%. In organic terms (i.e. ex acquisitions), revenues grew by 8.0%. As DATAGROUP is focussing on the higher-margin service business, the service share rose once again – from 78.7% in H1 of the previous year to 81.5%. The share of trading revenues in the overall performance declined to 18.5% (21.2% in H1 2015/2016).

The business activity of the DATAGROUP Group is mainly geared towards Germany. The share abroad amounted to TEUR 1,896 or 1.8% (prior-year period TEUR 1.424 or 1.7%).

The gross profit was up 38.9% yoy to TEUR 77,377. Accordingly, the gross profit margin increased from 67.2% to 71.4%.

EBITDA came in at TEUR 11,501 after TEUR 6,002 in H1 2015/2016. This is an increase by TEUR 5,499 or 91.6% compared to the same period a year ago. The EBITDA margin rose from 7.2% in the prior-year period to 10.6%.

Deprectiation and amortisation rose from TEUR 3,167 to TEUR 3,861. Amortisation of goodwill was not required in H1 2016/2017 or in the previous years.

The financial result amounted to TEUR -1,055 after TEUR -858 in H1 2015/2016. The increase in financial expenses is due to a substantial expansion of pension liabilities and the corresponding increase in interest expenses.

The Group's tax rate was 31.9% after 33.3% in H1 2015/2016.

Financial and assets position

The balance sheet total rose by 3.7% on March 31, 2017 in comparison to the balance sheet date on September 30, 2016.

The development of the balance sheet total was impacted by different opposite effects.

Especially an increase in trade receivables resulting from the transaction with Hewlett-Packard GmbH, investments made in the CORBOX IT infrastructure, an expansion of the leasing volume as well as a net increase of a loan granted to the parent company HHS Beteiligungsgesellschaft mbH had an extending impact on the balance sheet. On the liabilities side, the increase is due to the good result (equity up by TEUR 2,215) as well as an increase in income tax liabilities.

Despite another increase in the dividend payout by TEUR 2,271 and investsments made in property, plant and equipment – the cash flow from investing activities was TEUR -9,529 – the net debt was reduced. This is attributable to the strong cash inflow from operating activities.

Equity was up TEUR 2,215 from TEUR 28,367 on September 30, 2016 to TEUR 30,582. The equity ratio increased from 17.8% on September 30, 2016 to 18.5% on March 31, 2017. The modified equity ratio, which was determined under consideration of subordinated loans, amounts to 19.7% (on September 30, 2016: 19.0%). The capital increase carried out in April 2017 results in an increase in equity by some EUR 21.2m and an increase in the equity ratio by c 9 percentage points.
