Mindbreeze

Mindbreeze Business Desicion Insights

With the innovative business ecosystem Mindbreeze BDI (Business Decision Insights) a professional basis was created to perfectly implement unique business models based on Mindbreeze InSpire and Mindbreeze Insight Services.

Mindbreeze BDI supports entrepreneurs in professionalizing their business and increasing their economic success. Thanks to careful selection of entrepreneurs and solutions as well as seamless and consistent integration, Mindbreeze creates an ecosystem that offers customers a first-class user experience.

Mindbreeze BidForce

Mindbreeze BidForce bid management software supports sales teams throughout the entire bidding process from pre-selection and planning to compiling and responding to bid documents. With Mindbreeze InSpire as the technological foundation, insightful answers to relevant business questions can be extracted from both structured and unstructured enterprise data. Artificial intelligence (AI) is used to analyze and enrich company data. As a result, Mindbreeze BidForce is able to identify subject matter experts within the company to help sales teams answer complex questions. In addition, Mindbreeze BidForce enables the creation of structured libraries that store all knowledge about past tenders. As a result, responding to bid documents is much more efficient and the entire bid management process is optimized.

Mindbreeze InSpire

Mindbreeze InSpire (Insight Engine) analyzes information, understands it and thereby enables a variety of use cases such as a consolidated view of corporate knowledge - regardless of where (data sources) and how (structured, unstructured) it is stored. After connecting the relevant corporate data sources via an extensive range of connectors, for example for e-mail or document management systems, archives or even industry-specific specialist applications, Mindbreeze InSpire also analyzes structured and unstructured information using artificial intelligence methods.

This is made possible by the Insight Services developed by Mindbreeze. These combine a wide range of artificial intelligence techniques to understand and link information. They include services in the areas of entity recognition, classification, semantic relation, proactive insight, knowledge extraction and natural language processing. Mindbreeze InSpire provides users with a 360-degree view of the relevant information (documents, structured data, etc.) on the topic they are searching for.

Understanding the information is enabled by Mindbreeze developments in generative AI or Large Language Models (LLM). Mindbreeze InSpire forms the perfect product solution to overcome the typical hurdles in the use of LLMs such as data hallucinations, authorizations, critical intellectual property issues, expensive training costs or generally the technical implementation with confidential corporate data.

For example, the internal enterprise data that has been connected to the Insight Engine with the multitude of connectors serves as the basis for machine learning. Thus, the data and the models trained with it are always owned by the respective company and do not feed into a public model. Both existing and generated content are thus secure, correct, trustworthy and, above all, traceable. Since the solution references the source in addition to the answer, users are able to validate the answers at any time if necessary.

Mindbreeze leaves the selection of additional LLMs to its customers. The Insight Engine is delivered with pretrained models. However, due to the use of Transformer Models and open standards, models from communities such as Huggingface can also be used very easily. If a customer already has a specific model in use, this can also be integrated. In addition, Mindbreeze offers customers qualified support in the selection of a suitable LLM and the associated use cases.

The Insight App Designer developed by Mindbreeze allows users to design their own applications without any programming knowledge and is thus aimed at employees in the respective department. In this way, the different needs of the departments are quickly met by individual search applications and work steps are significantly simplified and shortened. Insight Services and Insight Apps form the basis for supporting companies in the area of applied artificial intelligence for business units.

Mindbreeze InSpire is used in various business areas such as customer service, maintenance and repair, project management or human resource management. The search applications available for this purpose are tailored to the requirements of the areas and thus provide an important basis for supporting business process transformation and in everyday work, for example as a research tool or for creating graphically prepared summaries. In addition, Mindbreeze InSpire provides interfaces and services so that software manufacturers, integrators and developers can easily use the proven Mindbreeze technology in their own products and solutions.

The comprehensive capabilities of Mindbreeze InSpire, especially in semantic search and search applications, combined with the outstandingly short implementation times – given the appliance and service character – also qualify the product particularly well as an essential component of in-house private and hybrid cloud infrastructures.

Technology Products

#nextlevel-Talk: "Digital contract management: the 'stepchild' in companies?"

Contracts form the basis for entrepreneurial action. As a result, it requires active management in digital form in order to recognize and exploit the associated potential and risks. It is therefore all the more surprising that knowledge of contract content is often limited to just a few people in the company. What are the advantages of digitizing contract management? What are the reasons for the current relatively low level of application? And what does it take to successfully automate the associated business processes? Georg Harer, lawyer at EY Austria, Sophie Martinetz, Director Legal Tech Center at the Vienna University of Economics and Business, and Robin Schmeisser, Managing Director of Fabasoft Contracts GmbH, discussed these and other questions at the #nextlevel-Talk on 18 April 2023 at k47 Vienna. Jakob Zirm, Head of Economist at the daily newspaper "Die Presse", acted as moderator.

Outlook

Transformation of the business

Pursuant to a general trend in the software industry as a whole, the software product business of the Fabasoft Group continues to undergo a transformation process: the use of software products is moving away from the model of purchasing user rights for these products against an one-off fee – usually linked to a maintenance contract – more in the direction of an ongoing monthly user fee for cloud services, SaaS offers and/or appliances.

Depending on the target markets, this transformation process is currently developing differently: In public tenders, purchase models for the software are still predominantly in demand. The client then often operates the software in its own data centers with the support of Fabasoft. The majority of private customers are primarily interested in cloud solutions and appliances. The flexibility of the Fabasoft product portfolio continues to support on-premises projects as well as hybrid models, where required.

It must be considered that the structure of the appliance business differs in its nature from the software licence business: the hardware components of the appliances are purchased by Fabasoft or Mindbreeze, the customer undertakes to pay periodically for the use that is agreed for a fixed period of time. The revenue for use is received monthly and the hardware components are also amortized on a monthly basis.

In terms of sales, Fabasoft is continuing its overall efforts to supplement the direct sales model with an indirect, partner-oriented, international sales and marketing model, particularly for Fabasoft PROCECO Solutions and Mindbreeze InSpire.

The Fabasoft PROCECO ecosystem for digital business processes

In line with the growing trend of digital transformation, the focus remains on further developing and expanding Fabasoft PROCECO as an ecosystem for internal and cross-company business processes. Increasing the market presence of existing and future Fabasoft PROCECO Solutions and their visibility in the individual target markets remain key tasks. Fabasoft continues to focus on standardization and rapid deployment in order to meet customer requirements for immediately usable solutions.

The further development of the solutions goes hand in hand with the strategy of establishing Fabasoft PROCECO as an ecosystem for digital business processes, on which solutions from partner companies can also be built. The current and growing market demand for highly scalable and flexible business applications is thus taken into account.

Development of certain expense items

In order to continue the Fabasoft Group's growth course, investments in the 2023/2024 fiscal year will continue to focus on the areas of product innovation, strengthening sales and marketing, as well as expanding the workforce and attracting new talent to take advantage of future opportunities.

In particular, Fabasoft will invest in the further development, sales and marketing of content-focused solution offerings based on Fabasoft PROCECO. In addition to entrepreneurial organic growth opportunities, inorganic options are to be evaluated and exploited.

In the area of public sector clients, Fabasoft is striving to expand its customer base from the federal government, states, cantons and municipalities in Austria, Germany and Switzerland by strengthening sales and marketing through new products and features, additional services and expanding the circle of users.

Another focus of the required investments is the ongoing development of Mindbreeze InSpire: the company is continuously striving to establish and expand a successful international partner infrastructure. This would entail considerable upfront investments, particularly in international marketing, cross-regional presence, partner support and personnel expansion in this segment.

These expansion and growth measures, as well as the expected increase in personnel costs due to the acquisition of new talent and inflation-related salary increases, will continue to impact the profitability of the Fabasoft Group in the 2023/2024 fiscal year.

Conclusion

The Fabasoft Group that successfully implements the core issues of digital transformation with its comprehensive and field-proven range of products and services, will remain promisingly positioned for opportunities, even in a difficult market environment characterized by global political and economic upheavals. In particular, the development of Fabasoft PROCECO Solutions again showed strong growth in the reporting period.

The positive customer response reflects the innovative strength and solutions expertise in the Fabasoft Group. Further development will depend greatly on the extent to which and how quickly this positive market response can be realized in the form of correspondingly large (new) customer orders and further scaling of the business model can be achieved.

Even in a difficult environment, the company intends to take advantage of opportunities as they arise, for example in recruiting high-caliber talent or in pursuing inorganic expansion and growth options.

Furthermore, not least in view of the Group's solid cash position, priority will be given, where appropriate, to pursuing issues judged to be future-oriented and sustainable over short-term profitability considerations.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS AT 30 JUNE 2023

1) Company details

Fabasoft is a European software manufacturer and provider of cloud services for digital document, process and records management in Europe. With the unique Fabasoft PROCECO ecosystem, Fabasoft unites selected powerful software solutions for document-intensive business processes. Fabasoft's products help digitalize, accelerate, simplify and boost the quality of business processes. They include the receipt, structuring, team and process-oriented provision, processing and handling, secure storage and context-sensitive finding of all business documents as well as the preparation and provision of content for different publication channels. This is complemented by digital, sustainable knowledge transfer based on neuroscientific findings.

Fabasoft AG with its headquarters at Honauerstrasse 4, 4020 Linz, Austria is the Group Parent Company.

Company shares have been quoted in the Prime Standard of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange (WKN (D) 922985).

The reporting period for the consolidated interim financial statements is from 1 April 2023 to 30 June 2023.

2) Accounting policies

2.1. Basis of preparation

The consolidated interim financial statements dated 30 June 2023 were drawn up in compliance with the International Financial Reporting Standard 34 (IAS 34).

The consolidated interim financial statements were drawn up in accordance with generally recognized accounting policies, which require the use of estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions influence the amount and return on assets and liabilities shown in the balance sheet, the disclosed contingent assets and liabilities on the interim balance sheet date as well as the income and expenditures for the period under consideration. Although these estimates are calculated to the best knowledge based on current transactions, actual values may deviate from these estimates.

The same accounting and valuation principles applied for the last consolidated financial statements as at 31 March 2023 were also applied for the preparation of the interim consolidated financial statements.

The consolidated interim financial statements are prepared in thousands of Euros (kEUR), as are entries in the notes.

2.2. Consolidation

The consolidated interim financial statements of subsidiaries included in the interim financial statements were drawn up Group-wide on 30 June 2023 and in accordance with IFRS, as adopted by the EU.

2.2.1. Consolidation scope

As at the interim balance sheet date, 30 June 2023, the following companies in addition to Fabasoft AG, as the Parent Company, have been fully consolidated and are included in the consolidated financial statements:

Entity Location of Headquarters Direct share of Fabasoft AG as a %
Fabasoft International Services GmbH Linz/Austria 100
Fabasoft R&D GmbH Linz/Austria 100
Fabasoft Austria GmbH Linz/Austria 100

Full consolidation of Mindbreeze BidForce GmbH was effected for the first time with date of establishment.

On 27 April 2023 Fabasoft AG reduced its holding in Fabasoft Contracts GmbH from 100 % to 80 %. The shares were purchased by the management of Fabasoft Contracts GmbH.

2.2.3. Foreign currency translation

Interim financial statements in foreign currencies have been translated at the average relevant exchange rate. According to this method, the items on the interim balance sheet were translated at the exchange rates valid on the interim balance sheet date, whereas the items on the statement of comprehensive income were translated at the average exchange rate for the reported period. Differences in these currency conversions are recorded in the other result. Exchange differences which may occur when converting transactions and accounting items into foreign currencies are calculated using the valid exchange rate at the time of the transaction or valuation and recognized in profit or loss.

3) Notes to the balance sheet and the consolidated statement of comprehensive income

3.1. Investments

The purchases of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets mainly concern hardware and other office equipment.

3.2. Equity

As at 30 June 2023, the company's share capital was kEUR 11,000 (31/03/2023: kEUR 11,000). It is comprised of 11,000,000 individual shares (31/03/2023: 11,000,000) at a nominal value of EUR 1.00 per share.

The capital reserve amounting to kEUR 19,555 (31/03/2023: kEUR 19,555) affects premiums to the amount of kEUR 17,173 (31/03/2023: kEUR 17,173). The remainder results in an amount of kEUR 2,069 (31/03/2023: kEUR 2,069) from reorganizations and in an amount of kEUR 313 (31/03/2023: kEUR 313) from former options programmes.

Fabasoft AG holds no treasury shares as of the interim balance sheet date of 30 June 2023.

The following resolutions, among others, were made at the Fabasoft AG Annual General Meeting on 3 July 2023:

A dividend of EUR 0.30 per dividend-bearing share shall be paid out for the 2022/2023 fiscal year.

The Managing Board is authorized for the period of 30 months to acquire its own shares pursuant to Section 65 (1) (4) of the Austrian Stock Corporation Act for the purpose of issuing them to employees, company executives and members of the Managing Board of the company or an affiliated company respectively to Section 65 (1) (8) of the Austria Stock Corporation Act and up to a maximum holding of 10 % of the total share capital of the company. The equivalent value permissible at repurchase must not exceed 10 % above and must not be 20 % at the least below the average price at the close of Xetra trading on the Deutsche Börse AG of the last five stock exchange trading days prior to the fixing of the purchase price.

The Managing Board is authorized with the approval of the Supervisory Board to increase the share capital of the company within five years of this amendment to the articles being entered in the company register – possibly in several tranches – by up to nominally EUR 5,500,000.00 through the issue of up to 5,500,000 no-par-value shares both against cash deposit and also pursuant to Section 172 of the Austrian Stock Corporation Act against non-cash contribution to up to EUR 16,500,000.00 and stipulate the conditions of issuance in agreement with the Supervisory Board (authorized capital in the sense of Sections 169 ff Austrian Stock Corporation Act), whereby the Managing Board shall also be authorized to issue the new shares possibly with the exclusion of the subscription rights that the shareholders are otherwise entitled to (Section 170 (2) Austrian Stock Corporation Act).

*Book values cannot be adjusted with the respective balance sheet item as this itemization applies only to financial instruments. **In the recurring evaluation of other financial assets, it was determined that the allocation to "Fair Value - Level I (through profit and loss)" is considered more appropriate. Accordingly, these other financial assets are now presented as "Fair Value - Level I" instead of "Fair Value Level II". The adjustment of the allocation does not lead to any accounting amendment.

Other financial assets relate to securities (investment certificates) to the amount of kEUR 145 (31/03/2023: kEUR 145) and other receivables to the amount of kEUR 8 (31/03/2023: kEUR 8). The fair values of the securities are derived from the current market value. Other receivables result from the aquisition of 4teamwork AG and derive from the valuation at fair value of the contingent purchase price.

Part of the purchase price was paid into an escrow account and will be paid out to the seller by 31 March 2025 at the latest, subject to compliance with the defined key performance indicators and the defined integration steps. The discounted cash flow method was used for the evaluation.

As of the reporting date of 31 March 2023, the defined performance indicators and the defined integration steps have been achieved. Therefore a first part of the contingent purchase price in the amount of TCHF 150 will be paid in the 2023/2024 fiscal year.

The amount reported under other payables measured at fair value constitutes the earn-out component from the acquisition of Xpublisher GmbH. The discounted cash flow method was used for the evaluation.

On attainment of the specific performance indicators, the undiscounted, potentially payable amount in the fiscal years ending on 31 March 2024 or 31 March 2025 is kEUR 1,300 (31/03/2023: kEUR 1,300). Should the specific performance indicators fall short of the targets no earn-out payment is made.

3.4. Further notes to the balance sheet and the consolidated statement of comprehensive income

The contract liabilities resulting from service contracts pursuant to IFRS 15 amounted to kEUR 508 as at 30 June 2023 (31/03/2023: kEUR 264).

The right-of-use assets pursuant to IFRS 16 are reported in the balance sheet item "Property, plant and equipment" and amounted to kEUR 7,881 as at 30 June 2023 (31/03/2023: kEUR 7,106), the leasing liabilities are reported at an amount of kEUR 6,340 as at 30 June 2023 (31/03/2023: kEUR 5,731) in non-current other payables and at an amount of kEUR 1,966 (31/03/2023: kEUR 1,761) in current trade and other payables.

Investment premiums are shown in the balance sheet item "Investment grants". These are grants from the Austrian Federal Government of up to 14 % of the investments made. They were recognized as a liability to the amount of kEUR 128 (31/03/2023: kEUR 139) and to the amount of kEUR 11 (corresponding period of the previous year: kEUR 17) as other operating income due to the dissolution over the period of the useful life of the assets.

4) Consolidated cash flow statement

The cash flow statement has been drawn up according to the indirect method. It shows the change in cash and cash equivalents for the Group during the reporting year through the inflow and outflow of funds.

On the cash flow statement, a differentiation is made between cash flows from operating activities, investment activities and financing activities.

5) Segment reporting

The Group's reporting format is structured according to geographical segments in terms of the location of the assets.

In order to take account of the general trend in the software industry in the reporting – namely the transformation process away from the model of purchasing rights of use against an one-off fee and in the direction of an ongoing monthly usage fee – a breakdown of sales by recurring revenue from ongoing obligations with varying terms or residual terms (recurring revenue) and sales not based on ongoing obligations (non-recurring revenue) follows.

Breakdown of sales by type of contract:

in kEUR April – June 2023 April – June 2022
Recurring revenue 10,495 8,337
Non-recurring revenue 9,196 6,701
thereof software 244 140
thereof professional services 8,952 6,561
Total 19,691 15,038

Recurring revenue includes in particular software updates, fees for right of use for Mindbreeze InSpire, Fabasoft PROCECO Solutions and recurring professional services (e.g. for support and operation management).

Non-recurring revenue includes one-off licenses (software) and sales of consulting services (professional services).

6.2. Direct and indirect impacts of the war in Ukraine

Fabasoft does not operate any subsidiaries or branches in Ukraine, the Russian Federation or Belarus, nor does it procure relevant development services from any of these countries. Likewise, there is no relevant end customer or partner business in any of the aforementioned countries. The impact of the war and the associated sanctions and similar measures on the company's customers and partners, for example by impairing supply chains, the overall economic climate, public budgets, etc., and thus possibly subsequently on the company's business, cannot currently be estimated. The increased risk of cyber attacks or other attacks on critical infrastructures cannot be quantified either.

6.3. Climate related risks and opportunities of the Fabasoft Group

The Fabasoft Group is fully aware of its role and responsibility with regard to climate change and is clearly committed to regularly collecting and actively managing its climate-related risks and opportunities taking into consideration the recommendations of the TCFD (Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures).

The assessment of the residual risk for all identified climate-related risks and opportunities is below the materiality threshold defined internally, so that the overall impact on the business model, income statement and balance sheet of the Fabasoft Group are classified as immaterial.

6.4. Events after the balance sheet date

No significant events in respect of this interim financial statement occurred after 30 June 2023.

REPORT ON THE REVIEW OF THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMETS

Introduction

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements of Fabasoft AG, Linz, for the period from 1 April 2023 to 30 June 2023. These condensed consolidated interim financial statements comprise the consolidated interim balance sheet as of 30 June 2023 and the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated cashflow statement and the consolidated statement of changes in equity for the period from 1 April 2023 to 30 June 2023 and the condensed notes, summarizing the significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes.

Management is responsible for the preparation of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS's) for Interim Financial Reporting as adopted by the EU.

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on these condensed consolidated interim financial and third parties. Our liability towards the Company and towards third parties is limited in accordance with Section 275 (2) of the Austrian Commercial Code (UGB).

Scope of review

We conducted our review in accordance with Austrian Standards for Chartered Accountants, in particular in compliance with KFS/PG 11 "Principles of Engagements to Review Financial Statements", and with the International Standard on Review Engagements (ISRE 2410) "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity".

A review of interim financial statements is limited primarily to making inquiries, primarily of Company personnel, responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Austrian Standards on Auditing or International Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing came to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS's) for Interim Financial Reporting as adopted by the EU.

These forward-looking statements are normally but not exclusively paraphrased with words such as "expect", "assume", "plan" etc. If these assumptions on which the statements have been based do not prove true or if risks materialise – such as those mentioned for example in the issue prospectus or in the risk report or if the current situation changes in the future, the actual results may deviate from the result expected at present. The forward-looking statements assert no claim to correctness or completeness, are not updated and should therefore be treated with all due caution.

This report has been complied with the highest degree of diligence and all data published have been checked. Rounding, typesetting and printing errors cannot be excluded, however. The addition of rounded amounts and percentages may result in differences in figures calculated due to use of automatic calculation aids. The translation of the original German version of the report has been included for the convenience of our English-speaking shareholders. The German version is authoritative.
