Dear Shareholders,

the global demand in machine tools is expected to rise in this year merely by 3.3% according to the most recent forecasts of the German Machine Tool Builders' Association (vdw) and Oxford Economics. Compared to the autumn forecast of October 2014, the growth rate was revised down by 4.0 percent.

The start into the year took the following course for dmg mori seiki aktiengesellschaft: Order intake in the first quarter reached € 587.2 million and was therefore 2% below the previous year's period (€ 601.2 million). Sales revenues rose by 7% to € 538.4 million (previous year: € 505.1 million). ebitda amounted to € 42.4 million (previous year: € 39.5 million), ebit reached € 30.0 million (previous year: € 28.4 million), and ebt were at € 27.9 million (previous year: € 26.1 million). As at 31 March 2015, the group reported earnings after taxes of € 19.5 million (previous year: € 18.0 million). For the second quarter, we expect a positive business development. We expect important impulses for the order intake, especially from the Asian trade fairs.

We assume that the development of individual markets will continue to differ strongly from each other and that the competitive pressure will rise overall. In order to be able to compensate the regional market fluctuations even better in the future, we will further expand our international market presence together with dmg mori seiki company limited. Besides growth markets such as South Korea where we are planning to build a new technology centre, we believe the future sales markets to be particularly the countries in Asia. Europe continues to remain a key market for us. Here, we will increasingly focus on a stronger market penetration also of smaller markets.

The voluntary tender offer of our Japanese partner was received with broad support. Combined with the shares tendered within the scope of the tender offer, dmg mori seiki company limited holds a share of 52.54% of dmg mori seiki aktiengesellschaft. The successful completion sets the cooperation also for the long term on a stable basis, to be able to work together closely in the future. Together we are well positioned on the world market to grasp all business opportunities that arise.

We confirm our forecast for the financial year 2015. We are expecting an order intake of around € 2.4 billion. Based on our solid order backlog, we are planning with sales revenues of around € 2.25 billion. On the assumption that the market development will take place according to our expectations, we are planning to achieve an ebit of around € 165 million and an ebt of around € 160 million. Based on these figures, we intend to distribute a dividend for the financial year 2015.

The overall economic development has picked up a little speed in the first quarter of 2015. However, the development of individual markets differed, which was partly also caused by exchange rate fluctuations between the international lead currencies. The Ukraine conflict, the recession in Russia and the export sanctions imposed, as well as the budget crisis in Greece continued to take a damping effect foremost on the cyclical economy in Europe.

In Asia – including China – the dynamics have slowed down somewhat during the reporting period. In Japan, the export economy has profited from the devaluation of the yen in the beginning of the year; nevertheless, the overall economy is picking up only slowly.

Positive signals are received from the Western industrialised countries. In usa, the perspectives have further improved in the first months of the year, however, at a lesser rate than in the previous months due to lower oil prices. The economic recovery in Europe continues to be modest – slight growth has been recorded since the third quarter of the previous year – to which primarily the countries outside of the Euro zone make a positive contribution. In Germany, the cyclical economy added steam again in the beginning of the year. Respectively, the German economy has grown by 0.7% in comparison to the previous quarter according to the German Economic Research Institute (diw).

The dmg mori seiki group's international business is affected by the euro's exchange rates. Of particular importance are the us dollar, the Chinese renminbi and the Japanese yen. Compared to these currencies, the euro lost in value in the first quarter 2015 compared to the same quarter in the previous year. Compared to the average value of the euro, the U.S. dollar was at usd 1.13 (previous year's quarter: usd 1.37). Thus, the euro fell by 17.8% compared to the usd. The median value of the Chinese renminbi was noted at 7.02 renminbi (previous year's quarter: 8.36 renminbi) and the euro thus fell by 16.0% compared to the renminbi. For the customers in the usa, in the dollar-dependent markets as well as in China, prices for the products from our European manufacturing have become cheaper. The yen's average value fell slightly by 4.7% compared to the euro and it was quoted at 134.1 yen (previous year's quarter: 140.8 yen).

Overall Economic Development Development of the Machine Tool Industry

The global market for machine tools in 2015 is expected to develop on the level of the previous year. The German Machine Tool Builders' Association (vdw) and the British economic research institute Oxford Economics expect in their most recent forecast (status: April 2015) a growth in world consumption of 3.3% to rise to € 62.3 billion. The growth rate was thereby revised down by 4.0 percentage points compared to the autumn forecast. With regard to the given macro economic uncertainties, we've previously considered a growth rate of 7.3% for 2015 as too high. Demand in Asia, according to the current forecast, is expected to rise by 4.2%. For America, a rise in consumption by 2.5% is forecast. Demand in Europe is expected to rise by 1.0%.

The German machine tool market is expected to in total grow again in the course of the year. Order intake of German machine tool manufacturers was on the decline at the beginning of the year (– 9%). Oxford Economics forecasts a growth of 3.5% for the whole year (2014: – 1.9%).

The ifo business climate index rose again at the beginning of the year. The main consumer industries are rating the current business situation somewhat more positively than in the previous months.

Order intake

in € million

In the first quarter, order intake amounted to € 587.2 million and was thereby 2% below the previous year (€ 601.2 million). This decline is essentially based on postponed investment decisions. For the second quarter, we plan with an order intake above the level of the previous year. We expect important impulses from the trade fairs in Asia.

The balance sheet total as of 31 March 2015 was € 2,293.8 million (31 Dec. 2014: € 2,229.8 million).

Under assets, long-term assets rose by € 88.1 million to € 968.1 million. The intangible assets and property, plants and equipment rose to € 640.1 million (31 Dec. 2014: € 609.2 million). Financial assets amounted to € 252.0 million (31 Dec. 2014: € 201.7 million). The increase results in particular from the valuation of shares in dmg mori seiki company limited as of the reporting date.

Short-term assets amounted € 1,325.7 million (31 Dec. 2014: € 1,349.8 million). Inventories rose by € 90.3 million to € 585.6 million. Essentially, the stock of finished goods increased by € 69.8 million to € 263.1 million. The increase was primarily due to preliminary work for planned sales revenues with end customers. The stock of unfinished goods increased to € 120.3 million (€ + 12.2 million). Raw materials and consumables grew to € 198.4 million (€ + 7.7 million). The turnover rate of inventories was 3.7 (previous year's period: 3.8). Trade debtors rose by increased sales and a reduced factoring volume by € 54.8 million to € 314.6 million. Liquid funds amounted to € 243.6 million (31 Dec. 2014: € 433.0 million) due to the development of free cash flow in the first quarter.

Under equity and liabilities, equity increased by € 94.5 million to € 1,360.6 million. The equity ratio rose up to 59.3% (31 Dec. 2014: 56.8%). Outside capital fell to € 933.2 million (31 Dec. 2014: € 963.7 million). Provisions decreased by € 6.2 million to € 270.4 million; this was especially due to the decrease in provisions for profitsharing bonuses and premiums. Trade creditors decreased as scheduled by € 36.0 million to € 379.2 million.

The group's financial position developed in the first quarter as follows: As of 31 March 2015, cash flow from operating activities was € – 164.6 million (previous year: € – 84.8 million). The earnings before taxes (ebt) of € 27.9 million (previous year: € 26.1 million) and depreciation of € 12.4 million (previous year € 11.1 million) made a positive contribution to cash flow. The rise in inventories by € 90.1 million as well as in trade debtors by € 55.4 million and the decrease of trade creditors by € 26.8 million reduced cash flow, as described above.

Cash flow from investment activity changed to € – 33.9 million (previous year: € – 41.6 million). Payments for investments in intangible assets and property, plant and equipment were € – 34.4 million (previous year: € – 20.4 million). There were no payments for investments in financial assets. In the previous year, these amounted to € – 21.9 million and were due to the increase of shares in dmg mori seiki company limited within the scope of the capital increase, as reported.

Cash flow from financing activity was € + 1.2 million (previous year: € +38.0 million). The deposits in the amount of € 38.6 million resulted from the sale of own company shares in March 2014.

In the first quarter, free cash flow amounted to € – 198.5 million (previous year: € – 104.7 million); this trend is primarily due to the increase in inventory because of the cyclical nature of our business for planned sales activities.

In the second half of the year, we are planning as every year an increasing surplus in liquidity. In light of the planned high investment volume, which is to be financed largely from own funds, and also based on the profit forecasts, we are planning with a positive free cash flow between € 10 million and € 20 million for the entire year 2015.

As of 31 March 2015, we are showing surplus funds of € 193.8 million (previous year: € 270.6 million).

Investments

Investments in plant, property and equipment as well as intangible assets amounted to € 25.4 million in the first three months (previous year's value: € 20.4 million).

In this respect, especially our construction projects were in the focus. The new production and assembly plant in Ulyanovsk (Russia) is in the final construction phase and will presumably be opened end of September of the current year. Likewise, the construction of our new technology centre in Moscow (Russia) is progressing on schedule. In Asia, we further strengthen our sales and service presence. In South Korea, which is the fifth largest market for machine tools, we are therefore planning to build a new technology centre in Seoul. In this important market we want to gain greater market share in the future. Additional focus points were on the development of pioneering products, as well as the provision of tools, models and equipment required for production.

Segmental Reporting "Industrial Services" "Corporate Services" Employees Share

Share

The share price of dmg mori seiki aktiengesellschaft at the start of the year was quoted at € 23.63 (2 Jan. 2015). With the announcement of the voluntary public tender offer from dmg mori seiki company limited on 21 January 2015 and an offer price of € 27.50, the share noted a jump in the stock price on the next day to reach € 28.82 (+ 12.6%). Subsequently, the share performance was influenced by the two increases in the offer price: the offer price was raised to € 30.00 on 3 March 2015 and on 9 March to € 30.55. The share followed immediately these offer prices and rose slightly above the current offer price in the further course. The share price performance was mainly influenced by the participation of international financial investors as a result of the tender offer. At the end of the first quarter, the share closed at a price of € 30.60 (31 March 2015). The share currently lists € 31.25 (24 April 2015). At the present time, the company is analysed in studies by nine banks. In light of the tender offer two recommend to sell the share. Five analysts recommend holding the share, one analyst recommends "underweighting" the share, while one bank recommends buying the share.

For the first three months, based on the number of shares of 78.8 million, a turnover rate of 0.5 times (previous years' period: 0.2 times) was calculated. At the German stock exchanges, the trading volume averaged 647,00 shares per trading day (previous year: 274,000 shares).

Research and Development

The expenses for research and development in the first quarter amounted to € 11.1 million (previous year: € 10.9 million). 508 employees are working on the development of new products, which equals a share of 14% of the staff at the plants.

At our annual inhouse exhibit in Pfronten, we presented four world premieres in the beginning of the year. Further focus points were system solutions for the automotive and aerospace industry, as well as solutions for large-series production. In Pfronten, we also presented the high-tech lasertec 65 3d additive manufacturing machine, which combines laser deposition welding and final processing by means of 5-axis milling technology. The combination of the two processes is unique in the global market.

Our app-based control and operating software celos simplifies and accelerates the process from the idea to the finished product. In addition to the celos apps that have been available since 2014, four new celos apps and the celos pc version were presented at the inhouse exhibit in Pfronten. The new version of celos with now 16 apps increases efficiency both in production and maintenance planning as well as in production control. With the celos pc version, the communication between work preparation and production is optimised. Moreover, optional machines and equipment can be integrated in one standardised celos periphery.

In the financial year 2015, we are planning together with our Japanese partner to present a total of 19 new developments. The presentation of our world premieres at overall 77 international and national trade fairs, as well as inhouse exhibits in the further course of the year concentrates particularly on the autumn trade fairs, with the emo in Milan as an industry highlight. There, we will present also additional technology solutions and innovative software tools, besides the seven world premieres.

celos – 4 new apps and the pc version increase customer benefit

celos of dmg mori connects the machines in an unprecedented way with the superordinate company structures and thus creates the basis for a consistently digitalised, paper-less production. With 16 celos apps and the celos pc version, the time required by users to arrive at a product is reduced by up to 30% through the direct coupling with their company's own software. dmg mori sets the standard with celos in machine tool industry and sets the conditions for implementing Industrie 4.0.

Research and Development

In the technology field of turning, the successful ctx tc-series will be added by a second generation of the ctx beta 1250 tc. With the new, ultra-compact turning-milling spindle of the compactmaster, the machine enables a more efficient turn & mill complete processing.

In the technology area of milling, our two 5-axle processing centres, the dmu 100 p duoblock and the dmc 125 fd duoblock for milling-turning applications, expand the product portfolio of the successful duoblock series in the fourth generation. With the dmc 270 u, we are adding to the Portal series of the universal processing centres with pallet changer for the 5-axle processing of large components.

In the current financial year, the focus is especially on the structuring of a joint product portfolio together with dmg mori seiki company limited. It is our aim to reduce the complexity in development, purchasing, production, sales and service through a reduction of the offered machine types (product streamlining).

Within the framework of our "scope" programme for the cross-product standardisation of components, synergies are systematically implemented through the cooperation of purchasing and development. The aim of our activities in the area of the core components is the realisation of both purchasing advantages as well as innovations. One successful example is the development of the speedmaster milling spindle, with its patented technical features representing a unique selling proposition in the industry. Furthermore a joint product development process based on our standardised Cooperative r&d-Platform (crp) has already been established and is now being rolled out in the current development projects.

Forecast

The global economy is expected to continue its growth according to current forecasts. The Institute for World Economics (IfW) forecasts a 3.7% increase of the gross domestic product (gdp) for the current year. A further deterioration of the various political crises and ongoing exchange rate deviations between the major currencies might cause a downturn in the global economy.

Growth impulses continue to be expected primarily from the industrialised countries in the year 2015. In the usa, the economic growth will continue accelerating. A modest recovery of the economy is forecast for Europe in this year: economic researchers expect that the gdp of the Euro countries will rise by 1.3% in the year 2015. For Germany, a plus of 1.8% is expected.

The global market for machine tools in 2015 is expected to develop on the level of the previous year. The German Machine Tool Builders' Association (vdw) and the British economic research institute Oxford Economics expect in their most recent forecast (status: April 2015) a growth in global consumption by 3.3% to € 62.3 billion.

The growth rate was thereby revised down by 4.0 percentage points compared to the autumn forecast. With regard to the given macro economic uncertainties, we've previously considered a growth rate of 7.3% for 2015 as too high.

Demand in Asia, according to the current forecast, is expected to rise by 4.2%. For America, a rise in consumption by 2.5% is forecast. Demand in Europe is expected to grow slightly less by 1.0%. For Germany, a modest growth is expected (+ 3.5%).

We assume that the development of individual markets will continue to differ strongly from each other and that the competitive pressure will rise overall. In order to be able to compensate the regional market fluctuations even better in the future, we will further expand our international market presence together with dmg mori seiki company limited. Furthermore, we can produce "in the market for the market" from now on by virtue of a joint utilisation of production sites, and we can thereby lower import and logistics costs.

Besides the growth markets in Asia such as China, Japan and South Korea, we believe the future sales markets to be particularly the countries of South East Asia, like Vietnam and Indonesia. Here, the demand in machine tools is beginning to pick-up. Europe continues to remain a key market for us, where we will increasingly focus on a stronger market penetration also of smaller markets. In addition, we intend to participate in the unchanged high demand for machine tools in the usa.

In the area of purchasing, the expansion of our global supply partnerships in terms of the joint activities with dmg mori seiki company limited will be in the foreground. The aim is to optimise material costs worldwide. Through a global purchasing strategy coordinated at both companies and by means of uniform quality standards, improvements regarding quality, costs and delivery capacity are to be achieved together.

Latest news

The acceptance period for the Tender Offer of dmg mori seiki company limited ended on 13 April 2015. Subsequently the bidder announced on 16 April 2015 pursuant to section 23 (1) sentence 1 no. 3 of the German Securities Acquisition and Takeover Act (Wertpapiererwerbs- und Übernahmegesetz, Wpüg) that the Tender Offer has been accepted at the expiry of the Notification Reference Date for a total of 9,377,464 dmg mori seiki ag-Shares. This corresponds to 11.90% of the total share capital and the voting rights in dmg mori seiki aktiengesellschaft. As of the Notification Reference Date, the total number of shares held by the Bidder and companies acting in concert with the Bidder – plus the tendered shares – amounts to 41,408,563. This corresponds to 52.54% of the total share capital and the voting rights in dmg mori seiki aktiengesellschaft.

Future Business Development

In the financial year 2015, we still expect that the global economic development will remain volatile. On the one hand, economic experts assume that energy prices will remain low around the world. On the other hand, stress factors for the cyclical economy, and thus also for the investment tendency of companies, continue unchanged to be the economic effects from the Ukraine crisis, ongoing exchange rate deviations between the major currencies and the sovereign debt problems in Europe.

We confirm our forecast for the current year. We are expecting an order intake of around € 2.4 billion. Based on our solid order backlog, we are planning with sales revenues of around € 2.25 billion. On the assumption that the market development will take place according to our expectations, we are planning to achieve an ebit of around € 165 million and an ebt of around € 160 million. In light of the planned high investment volume, which is to be financed largely from own funds, and also based on the profit forecasts, we are planning with a positive free cash flow between € 10 million and € 20 million. Based on these figures, we intend to distribute a dividend for the financial year 2015.

Forward-looking statements

This report contains forward-looking statements, which are based on current estimates of the management of future developments. Such statements are based on the management's current expectations and specific assumptions. They are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors, which could lead to the actual future circumstances including the assets, liabilities, financial position and profit or loss of dmg mori seiki aktiengesellschaft differing materially from or being more negative than that those expressly or implicitly assumed or described in these statements. The business activities of dmg mori seiki aktiengesellschaft are subject to a series of risks and uncertainties, which may result in forward-looking statements estimates or forecasts becoming inaccurate. dmg mori seiki aktiengesellschaft is strongly affected, in particular, by changes in general economic and business conditions (including margin developments in the most important business areas as well as the consequences of a recession) as these have a direct effect on processes, suppliers and customers. Due to their differences, not all business areas are affected to the same extent by changes in the economic environment; significant differences exist with respect to the timing and extent of the effects of any such changes. This effect is further intensified by the fact that, as a global entity, dmg mori seiki aktiengesellschaft operates in various markets with very different economic rates of growth. Uncertainties arise inter alia from the risk that customers may delay or cancel orders or they may become insolvent or that prices become further depressed by a persistently, unfavourable market environment than that which we are expecting at the current time; developments on the financial markets, including fluctuations in interest rates and exchange rates, in the price of raw materials, in borrowing and equity margins as well as in financial assets in general; growing volatility and further decline in the capital markets and a deterioration in the conditions for the credit business and in particular deterioration from growing uncertainties that arise from the financial market and liquidity crisis including that of the euro debt crisis as well as a deterioration in the future economic success of the core business areas in which we operate; challenges in integrating major acquisitions and in implementing joint ventures and achieving the expected synergy effects and other essential portfolio measures; the introduction of competing products or technology by other companies or the entry onto the market of new competitors; a change in the dynamics of competition (primarily on developing markets); a lack of acceptance of new products and services in customer target groups of the dmg mori seiki aktiengesellschaft group; changes in corporate strategy; interruptions in the supply chain, including the inability of a third party, for example due to natural catastrophe, to supply pre-fabricated parts, components or services on schedule; the outcome of public investigations and associated legal disputes as well as other measures of public bodies; the potential effects of these investigations and proceedings on the business of dmg mori seiki aktiengesellschaft and various other factors. Should one of these factors of uncertainty or other unforeseeable event occur, or should the assumptions on which these statements are based prove incorrect, the actual results may differ materially from the results stated, expected, anticipated, intended, planned, aimed at, estimated or projected in these statements.

dmg mori seiki aktiengesellschaft neither intends to nor does dmg mori seiki aktiengesellschaft assume any separate obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect any change in events or developments occurring after the reporting period. Forward-looking statements must not be understood as a guarantee or assurance of the future developments or events contained therein.
