Dear Shareholders,

DMG MORI AKTIENGESELLSCHAFT continued its growth trend. Following a strong first quarter 2017, we reached new record figures for the first half year. For order intake, sales revenues and earnings we recorded the best first-half year results in the company's history. Order intake rose by 22% in the second quarter to € 690.3 million (previous year: € 566.6 million). In the first half year, order intake rose by 20% to € 1,384.2 million (previous year: € 1,158.2 million). Adjusted for structural effects we even recorded a plus of 26%. Sales revenues in the second quarter rose by 4% to € 574.1 million (previous year: € 551.1 million). In the first half year, the company achieved € 1,108.0 million in sales revenues, which was slightly up on last year's figure (€ 1,092.5 million). Adjusted for structural effects from the realignment, sales revenues were 7% up compared to the previous year's figure. EBITDA rose by 14% to € 107.3 million (previous year: € 94.2 million). EBIT increased by 19% to € 77.6 million (previous year: € 65.3 million) and EBT even saw a 23% increase to € 75.2 million (previous year: € 61.2 million). As at 30 June 2017, the group recorded € 52.0 million in earnings after taxes (previous year: € 42.8 million). Apart from the good development of earnings, the financial position also developed positively. Free cash flow rose by € 161.9 million (+87%) to € –23.7 million (previous year: € –185.6 million).

The high demand for our innovative high-tech products continued in the second quarter. The industry trade fairs – the CIMT in Beijing (China), Metalloobrabotka in Moscow (Russia) and our open house exhibitions in Bielefeld and Bergamo (Italy) – were also a success for DMG MORI. Another highlight was the production launch of our LASERTEC 30 SLM in the new assembly area of REALIZER GmbH in Bielefeld. Selective powder-bed laser melting technology enables us to provide our customers with completely new application areas within the additive manufacturing sector.

The main focus of DMG MORI is Automation, Digitization, ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING and Technology Excellence. Our objective is to equip all DMG MORI machines with automation in the future. Tailored solutions allow us to provide our customers with the ideal conditions for digital transformation. The app-based control and operating software, CELOS, has helped us to make our machine tools ready for digitization. At the EMO in Hanover – the world's largest machine tool trade fair – we will be presenting eight world premieres and for the first time a 'digital factory', thus providing innovative Industrie 4.0 solutions.

Despite political uncertainties, the global economy continued to gain speed in the second quarter and is expected to grow in financial year 2017. A positive trend is also again expected for the global machine tool market. As a result of these conditions and the sustainably successful business development in the first half of the year, DMG MORI raises its forecast for the financial year: We are now expecting around € 2.5 billion in order intake and around € 2.3 billion in sales revenues. EBT shall amount to around € 160 million. Moreover, we are now expecting around € 60 million in free cash flow.

Business Environment

The global economy continued to gain speed in the second quarter 2017. The German economy was on growth course. The Eurozone continued to enjoy a broad-based economic upswing. China saw further growth, but at a persisting slower pace. Both Japan and the USA continued to develop positively.

According to the current spring forecast (April 2017), the global machine tool market is expected to grow again in 2017. The German Machine Tool Builders' Association (VDW) and the British economic research institute, Oxford Economics, continue to expect a global consumption growth of +3.2% to reach € 69.8 billion. The German machine tool market is expected to grow by +2.9%. At +4,0%, Europe is likely to see the strongest growth in machine tool demand. Asian markets are expected to see a +3.5% growth in consumption. For America, it should remain almost constant at +0.5%.

The international business of DMG MORI AKTIEN-GESELLSCHAFT is influenced by the exchange rates of the euro. Particularly important are the Us dollar, the Chinese renminbi, the Russian ruble and the Japanese yen. Compared to the same quarter last year, the euro rose against the renminbi and yen and fell against the US dollar and ruble.

Earnings after taxes amounted to € 29.2 million (previous year: € 24.7 million).

As at the end of the first half year, EBITDA improved to € 107.3 million (previous year: € 94.2 million), EBIT increased to € 77.6 million (previous year: € 65.3 million) and EBT rose to € 75.2 million (previous year: € 61.2 million). As of 30 June 2017, the group reports earnings after taxes of € 52.0 million (previous year: € 42.8 million).

Sales revenues were € 1,108.0 million (previous year: € 1,092.5 million). Total operating revenue reached € 1,125.9 million (previous year: € 1,125.4 million). The cost of materials amounted to € 590.8 million (previous year: € 577.8 million). The materials ratio increased to 52.5% (previous year: 51.3%). The change compared to the previous year results in particular from the effects of the implemented 'Smart Pricing Concept' in the Services segment. Gross profit declined by € 12.5 million to € 535.1 million (previous year: € 547.6 million). Personnel expenses reduced to € 272.0 million (previous year: € 288.5 million). The personnel expense ratio improved to 24.2% (previous year: 25.6%).

The balance of other income and expenses reduced to € 155.8 million (previous year: € 164.9 million). Depreciations amounted to € 29.7 million (previous year: € 28.9 million), due to the high investment volume in the previous years. The financial result in the first half year improved to € –2.4 million (previous year: € –4.1 million). Earnings after taxes were € 52.0 million (previous year: € 42.8 million), which lead to tax expenses of € 23.2 million, as at 30 June 2017 (previous year: € 18.4 million). The tax ratio amounted to 30.9% (previous year: 30.0%).

Balance sheet total 2,074.0 2,339.2 2,226.2

The balance sheet total as of 30 June 2017 reduced by € 265.2 million to € 2,074.0 million (31 Dec. 2016: € 2,339.2 million) in particular due to the decline in short-term assets.

Under assets, long-term assets reduced by € 18.1 million to € 815.4 million, compared to 31 Dec. 2016. The intangible assets and property, plants and equipment declined to € 661.3 million (31 Dec. 2016: € 681.6 million). Financial assets amounted to € 68.2 million (31 Dec. 2016: € 67.9 million).

Short-term assets declined to € 1,258.6 million (31 Dec. 2016: € 1,505.7 million). Inventories rose by € 23.3 million to € 528.4 million. Raw materials and consumables increased by € 6.4 million to € 208.5 million and the stock of unfinished goods increased by € 29.7 million to € 141.3 million. The increase especially results from preliminary work for planned sales revenues with customers in the second half of the year. The finished goods reduced to € 172.3 million (€ –5.7 million). The turnover rate of inventories was 4.2 (previous year's period: 3.8). Trade debtors increased, as factoring volume was reduced, by € 10.2 million to € 205.6 million.

Receivables from related companies amounted to € 172.7 million (previous year: € 166.4 million.) The sale of shares in the subsidiaries in the Asia and America regions results in the reduction of long-term assets held for sale by € 114.3 million to € 2.2 million. Liquid funds were in the first half of the year € 201.3 million (31 Dec. 2016: € 396.7 million).

Under equity and liabilities, equity rose by € 21.6 million to € 1,209.3 million. The equity ratio rose to 58.3% (31 Dec. 2016: 50.8%). Outside capital fell to € 864.7 million (31 Dec. 2016: € 1,151.5 million). Provisions decreased as planned by € 23.3 million to € 281.8 million and trade creditors declined as planned by € 31.8 million to € 204.2 million. Liabilities to related companies reduced by € 204.4 million to € 68.9 million. The planned reduction largely accrues from the purchase price payment for the acquisition of the shares in DMG MORI Europe AG in 2016 and the payment of the profit transfer amount for 2016 to DMG MORI GmbH.

The group's financial position developed positively in the first half of the year: cash flow from operating activities improved by € 147.3 million to € –11.0 million (previous year: € –158.3 million). Earnings before taxes (EBT) of € 75.2 million (previous year: € 61.2 million) and depreciations in the amount of € 29.7 million (previous year: € 28.9 million) made a positive contribution to cash flow. The rise in inventories by € 30.1 million (previous year: € 54.6 million) and in trade debtors by € 4.6 million (previous year: € 57.8 million) as well as a decline in trade creditors by € 39.2 million reduced cash flow (previous year: € 92.3 million).

Cash flow from investment activity amounted to € +7.0 million (previous year: € –27.3 million). Payments for investments in plant, property and equipment and in intangible assets were € –16.7 million (previous year: € –29.7 million). The sale and acquisition of subsidiaries resulted in total deposits amounting to € +19.7 million (previous year: € 0 million).

Cash flow from financing activity amounted to € –189.7 million (previous year: € –1.1 million) and essentially results from the purchase price payment for the acquisition of the shares in DMG MORI Europe AG in 2016 and the payment of the profit transfer amount for 2016 to DMG MORI GmbH.

In the first half of the year, free cash flow improved by € 161.9 million (+87%) to € –23.7 million (previous year: € –185.6 million). This improvement is primarily due to the lower inventory build-up (€ 30.1 million; previous year: € 54.6 million) compared to the previous year and trade debtors (€ 4.6 million; previous year: € 57.8 million), as well as the lesser reduction of trade creditors (€ 39.2 million; previous year: € 92.3 million).

Personnel costs amounted to € 272.0 million (previous year's period: € 288.5 million). The personnel ratio was 24.2% (previous year's period: 25.6%).

Share

The share price of DMG MORI AKTIENGESELLSCHAFT at the start of the second quarter was quoted at € 46.28 (3 April 2017) and closed at a price of € 49.20 on 30 June 2017. The market capitalization rose by 14% or € 0.48 billion to € 3.88 billion (record date: 30 June 2017).

Research and Development

Expenses for research and development in the first half of the year amounted to € 25.3 million (previous year: € 22.3 million). 510 employees worked on the development of our new products, which equals a share of 15% of the staff at the plants. In the financial year 2017, we will present together with DMG MORI COMPANY LIMITED a total of 18 world premieres. At our traditional open house exhibition in Pfronten, we already showed four of these world premieres. We presented six world premieres together at the Iga Innovation Days in Japan in June. We will enlarge our portfolio with eight world premieres

at the EMO in Hanover. At this industry highlight, our central theme will be the 'path of digitization,' on which we will show our customers worldwide the future of the 'digital factory'. With around 80 machines, we will present innovations in the areas of Automation, Digitization, ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING and Technology Excellence. More than 30 of the shown machines are equipped with automation solutions. We will expand the number of our exclusive DMG MORI technology cycles to 29 applications for the simple and quick shop floor programming.

In the technology field of turning, the new ALX series with improved user friendliness follows in the steps of the compact universal turning machines of the CL product line. These machines are available with different solutions for automation. In our entire portfolio, we rely on the technical integration of turning, milling and grinding, and offer this complete machining as of now also for all turn & mill machines. In the field of milling, we introduced the third generation of the DMU 50 that has been established in the market for more than 20 years. It stands out primarily for its greater precision and much larger workspace.

In the field of Advanced Technologies, the LASERTEC 30 SLM of REALIZER GmbH and the components built with it were the highlights in June at the open house exhibition in Bielefeld. This ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING machine is assembled on the remodeled production areas in the Bielefeld headquarter. With our ULTRASONIC product line we now enable the complete processing of tools made of carbide.

We have added 10 apps and another 50 functions to our app-based control and operating software, CELOS. For the first time, we enable external partners to develop their own CELOS apps and offer an intelligent system that can help optimize maintenance intervals and avoid downtimes. The start-up ISTOS, with which we are further expanding our digitization competence, currently realizes projects for interconnecting machines.

Opportunities and Risks Report

Our opportunities and risks management is described in detail in the Annual Report 2016 on pages 78 et seq. The statements are essentially unchanged in this regard. Additional opportunities and risks can furthermore be generated by planned structural and operative enhancements of our global sales and service operations, the further enhancement of our product portfolio and the optimization of production capacities. In consequence of the domination and profit transfer agreement concluded between DMG MORI GmbH and DMG MORI AKTIENGESELLSCHAFT, opportunities based on the deepened cooperation arise, yet also risks for the future economic development result from potential instructions given by DMG MORI GmbH. These instructions do not necessarily have to be in the sole interest of DMG MORI AKTIENGESELLSCHAFT but they are set in the interest of the group. All risks are aggregated in an overall risk in the DMG MORI group, which does not imperil the continuation of the group in today's perspective.

Forecast

Despite political uncertainties, global economic growth is again expected for 2017. The Institute for World Economics (IfW) in Kiel forecasts a 3.6% increase in global gross domestic product. Germany and Europe will show continued growth. As in Germany, economic researchers are expecting the gross domestic product of euro countries to rise by 2.0%. At an expected growth of 6.2%, Asia will be the region with the strongest growth. Economic growth in the USA is expected to pick up even more speed. In this case, the Kiel Institute for the World Economy (IfW) estimates a 2.2% increase in gross domestic product growth.

According to the current spring forecast (April 2017), the global machine tool market is expected to grow again in 2017. The German Machine Tool Builders' Association (VDW) and the British economic research institute, Oxford Economics, continue to expect a global consumption growth of +3.2% to reach € 69.8 billion (October 2016: +2.1%). The German machine tool market is expected to grow by +2.9% (previously: +4.0%). At +4.0%, Europe is likely to see the strongest growth in machine tool demand (previously: +4.1%). Asia is expected to see a +3.5% growth in consumption (previously: +1.7%). For America, it should remain almost constant at +0.5% (in 2016: +0.9%).

Future Business Development

Despite political uncertainties, the global economy continued to gain speed in the second quarter and is expected to grow in financial year 2017. A positive trend is also again expected for the global machine tool market. As a result of these conditions and the sustainably successful business development in the first half of the year, DMG MORI raises its forecast for the financial year: We are now expecting around € 2.5 billion in order intake and around € 2.3 billion in sales revenues. EBT shall amount to around € 160 million. Moreover, we are now expecting around € 60 million in free cash flow.

From 18 – 23 September, DMG MORI will be presenting manufacturing technologies of the future in a 'digital factory' at the EMO 2017 in Hanover. As the largest exhibitor, we will be showing the latest trends and innovations from the areas of Automation, Digitization, ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING and Technology Excellence across 10,000 m² exhibition space. DMG MORI will be presenting around 80 high-tech machines, including 30 with automation solutions, as well as complete custommade technology solutions at its Aerospace, Automotive, Die & Mold and Medical 'Technology Centers'.

Selected Explanatory Notes to the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

Application of Regulations

The Consolidated Financial Statements of DMG MORI AKTIENGESELLSCHAFT as of 31 December 2016 were prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and their interpretations as applicable at the reporting date and as adopted by the European Union. The Consolidated Interim Financial Statements as of 30 June 2017 were prepared on the basis of IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The group Interim Consolidated Financial Statements as of 30 June 2017 and the Interim Report for the period 1 January to 30 June 2017 was not reviewed or audited pursuant to Section 37w of the German Securities Trading Law (WpHG). All interim financial statements of those companies that were included in the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements were prepared in accordance with uniform accounting and valuation principles that also formed the basis for the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ending 31 December 2016. In view of the sense and purpose of the interim reporting as an instrument of information based on the Consolidated Financial Statements, and in accordance with IAS 1.112, we refer to the Notes to the Consolidated Annual Financial Statements. These set out in detail the accounting, valuation and consolidation methods applied and the right of choice contained in the IFRS that has been exercised. The accounting and valuation principles as well as the consolidation methods applied have been retained when compared to financial year 2016 (see further discussions in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements as of 31 December 2016 annual report pages 106ff), with the exception of the application of new financial accounting regulations. None of the obligatory applications of IFRS amendments and new standards effective as of 1 January 2017 has any material effect on the reporting of DMG MORI AKTIENGESELLSCHAFT.

NEW ACCOUNTING REGULATIONS

The DMG MORI group will apply IFRS 9 'Financial Instruments' and IFRS 15 'Revenue from Contracts with Customers' for the first time as at 1 January 2018. The actual effects from the application of IFRS 9 and IFRS 15 on the consolidated financial statements and the consolidated interim reports 2018 are not known yet and cannot be reliably estimated or quantified, but will probably not have any significant effects on the annual financial statements.

The DMG MORI group has made a preliminary assessment of the potential effects caused by the application of IFRS 9, and it arrives at the conclusion that the new classification requirements and valuation approaches for financial instruments will probably not have any significant effects on the accounting of financial assets. However, the group believes that the expenses for impairments of assets within the scope of the impairment model under IFRS 9 will likely rise and become more volatile. This is bearing in mind that the model of 'incurred loss' according to IAS 39 is replaced by a future-oriented model of 'expected credit losses' in IFRS 9. This requires substantial new calculation parameters regarding the question as to in how far the expected credit losses are influenced by changes in the economic factors. This assessment is determined on the basis of weighted probabilities in different scenarios. The impairment methods to be applied have not been determined finally yet. A reliable quantification is not possible at this time yet. The classification of financial debt as well as the changes relating to the reporting of hedging transaction according to the requirements of IFRS 9 will not have any significant effects for the DMG MORI group according to the preliminary assessment. In addition, IFRS 9 demands comprehensive new disclosures in the Notes, especially regarding the accounting of hedging transactions, credit risk and credit losses to be expected.

In respect of IFRS 15 'Revenue from Contracts with Customers', the group intends to utilise a modified retrospective initial application of IFRS 15. According to a more in-depth analysis of the potential effects from the application of IFRS 15 on the consolidated financial statements, the DMG MORI group arrives at the estimation that multiple performance obligations (transport and commissioning of machines, training) can result from the contracts for the sale of machine tools, which are subject to separate rules regarding the realisation principle. This entails that the sales revenues of the performance obligations from the sale of machine tools and the related costs will be recorded later than at the present time, meaning after the fulfilment of these performance obligations. It is currently

being worked on a system solution together with the subsidiaries. For the consolidated financial statements as at 31 December 2018 and the consolidated interim financial statements in 2018, the amount of the sales revenues from these performance obligations, which will be recorded at a point later than the present, will not have any significant effects on the respective financial statements. More information on the requirements of IFRS 15 is given in the consolidated financial statements as at 31 December 2016.

Seasonal Effects

As a globally operating company, the DMG MORI group is subject to various cyclical developments. In the sections 'Business environment', the cyclical influences have been set out in detail. Industry-related seasonal fluctuations over the course of the year are normal and may lead to different sales revenues and as a result different earnings.

Consolidation Group

On 30 June 2017, the DMG MORI group, including DMG MORI AKTIENGESELLSCHAFT, comprised 88 companies, of which 84 companies were included in the Interim Financial Statements as part of the full consolidation process. Compared to 31 December 2016, the number of fully consolidated subsidiaries reduced by eleven. In addition, DMG MORI Australia Pty. Ltd. that has been consolidated to date 'at equity' left the basis of consolidation. The number of group companies has therefore reduced by twelve overall. The change of the group structure is composed of the following:

BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

With effect on 6 February 2017, GILDEMEISTER Beteiligungen GmbH acquired 50.1% of the shares in REALIZER GmbH, Borchen. For the acquisition of remaining shares, the acquisition price is dependent, among other factors, on the contractually agreed terms. The attributable fair value of the consideration amounted to € 14.2 million and it will be remitted in payment instruments.

REALIZER GmbH has been fully consolidated since the takeover date. The acquired assets and liabilities were recognized at fair values. Details are shown in the table below:

The resulting positive difference of € 12.1 million was reported as goodwill and results from expected synergies for the product range in ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING. Costs incurred directly from the acquisition in the amount of € 43 k were considered as expenses in the period. Since 6 February 2017, REALIZER GmbH contributed an additional amount of € 2.4 million to the group's sales revenues. The contribution to the earnings after taxes for the same period amounted to € –0.1 k. If the acquisition of shares had already been included as at 1 January 2017, the contribution to the earnings after taxes would have been € –0.2 million and sales revenues would have amount to € 2.6 million. The purchase price allocation is still preliminary.

Earnings per share

In accordance with IAS 33, earnings per share are determined by dividing the consolidated earnings by the average weighted number of shares. At the same time, the group earnings after taxes of € 52.0 million are decreased by € 0.9 million by the earnings attributed to non-controlling interests.

As in the previous year, there were no diluted earnings per share at 30 June 2017.

Income Statement, Balance sheet, Cash flow Statement

The income tax expense in the interim reporting period is determined for the entire year pursuant to IAS 34.30(c) on the basis of the currently expected effective tax rate and according to economic considerations. Pursuant to IAS 34.16A, all types of financial assets and liabilities are to be stated at fair value. In the Notes on the Consolidated Financial Statements as at 31 December 2016, the valuation rates of the financial instruments are explained in detail. The accounting as at 30 June 2017 is unchanged. There are only differences between the book values and fair value for short-term and long-term financial debts. The book value as of 30 June 2017 is € 46.8 million, whereas the fair value is € 47.9 million.

Segmental Report

Within the scope of segmental reporting, pursuant to IFRS 8 regulations the business activities of the DMG MORI group have been divided into the 'Machine Tools', 'Industrial Services' and 'Corporate Services' business segments. The segmentation corresponds to the internal management and reporting based on the different products and services. The machines of DMG MORI COMPANY LIMITED produced under license are included in 'Machine Tools'; the business with the products of DMG MORI COMPANY LIMITED is accounted for under 'Industrial Services'. The demarcation of the segments and / or the determination of the segment results remain unchanged from 31 December 2016. The business activities of the segments are disclosed in detail in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements as at 31 December 2016. As of 1 January 2017, selected American and Asian subsidiaries are no longer in the 'Industrial Services' segment due to their deconsolidation. While DMG MORI Systems GmbH is no longer included in the 'Machine Tools' segment as of 28 February, REALIZER GmbH has been included in the 'Machine Tools' segment as of February. The new companies, Components Stahl- und Maschinenbau GmbH, the GILDEMEISTER LSG Solar Australia Pty Ltd., Brisbane (Australia) and GILDEMEISTER LSG Solar RUS, Moscow (Russia), have been allocated to the 'Industrial Services' segment. The ECOLINE companies were reported in the 'Machine Tools' segment so far. Because the companies are merged, they are now attributed to the segment 'Industrial Services'.

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 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 AKTIENG-ESELLSCHAFT are subject to a series of risks and uncertainties, which may result in forward-looking statements estimates or forecasts becoming inaccurate. DMG MORI 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 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, unfavorable 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 in the capital markets and a deterioration in the conditions for the credit business 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 DMG MORI; changes in corporate strategy; interruptions in the supply chain, including the inability of a third party, for example due to natural catastrophes, 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 AKTIENGESELLSCHAFT and various other factors.

Should one of these factors of uncertainty or other unforeseeable events 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 AKTIENGESELLSCHAFT neither intends to nor does DMG MORI 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.
