2 Quarterly Statement as of March 31, 2010

To our Shareholders

Dear shareholders, ladies and gentlemen,

Off to a good start: after a year in which revenue fell as a result of the economic situation, we once again saw an increase in the first quarter. License revenues even increased by around 10 percent – but then this was also where we experienced the greatest losses in 2009. Western and Eastern Europe, areas particularly affected by the crisis, started to recover, and a few non-European markets have also stabilized.

The cost level has remained stable, as planned, and has also been reflected in the results. In the first quarter, we also achieved an important milestone: Nemetschek AG is now free of net debt – the outstanding liabilities of 32 million euros are set against liquid assets of almost 35 million euros. That has confirmed our intention to allow our shareholders to participate in the company's success this year again and to pay out a dividend for 2009.

However, prudence is still required. The year is by no means over and there are many question marks surrounding the economic development. And the growth outlooks for our most important markets are known for their cautiousness.

For 2010, we have planned group-wide growth in the region of three to five percent – and as things look today, this remains realistic. We are going to continue to count on a recovery of license revenues, primarily in the non-German markets. The planned product innovations should also play their part here – all the large companies will again launch substantial innovations on the market in the current fiscal year. At the same time our subsidiaries must continuously increase the proportion of maintenance contracts.

On balance, higher sales revenues will also have a positive effect on earnings, as the non-sales-dependent costs are largely set to remain stable. And we will of course be maintaining the high level of investment in research and development – to ensure corporate management over the long term as we understand it.

Thank you for your trust.

Yours sincerely

Ernst Homolka

CEO

The Share

Steady rise

The Nemetschek share started Q1 2010 at 16.44 euros. The publication of the preliminary financial results for 2009 gave the share fresh impetus: on February 18, the price leapt from 16 euros to 17.80 euros. As a result, the share increased further and cost 18.30 euros at the end of February.

After the announcement of the final annual financial results for 2009, Goldman Sachs and WestLB increased their price targets for the Nemetschek share on March 25 to 27 and 28 euros respectively. For the current fiscal year the analysts anticipate an increase in revenue between three (WestLB) and seven percent (Goldman Sachs) and an EBITDA between 33 and 34.8 million euros.

In the final weeks of the quarter the share increased steadily and closed at 19.45 euros on March 31. The share price was thus 18 percent higher than at the start of the year.

Report on the Earnings, Financial, and Asset Situation

Successful start in fiscal year 2010

In the first three months of the year Nemetschek made a good start in 2010 and, compared with the same period in the previous year, improved in all key areas. The revenues in the group increased to 35.4 million euros (previous year: 33.6 million euros), which represents growth of 6 %. The group EBITDA increased by 15 % to 8.3 million euros (previous year: 7.3 million euros). The net income increased by more than 50 % to 3.6 million euros (previous year: 2.3 million euros). The cash flow from operating activities amounted to 12.9 million euros after 9.5 million euros in the first quarter of 2009.

Software revenues up by 10 %

Compared with the same period in the previous year the Nemetschek Group managed to increase revenues from license sales from 15.8 million euros to 17.4 million euros. This is equivalent to 10 % growth. Revenues from maintenance contracts rose 3 % to 15.7 million euros and thus account for 44% of overall revenue (previous year: 45 %).

Revenues abroad show significant growth

In its foreign markets the Nemetschek Group managed to increase revenues by 8 % to 21.0 million euros. In the previous year these amounted to 19.6 million euros. Revenues from abroad thus accounted for 59 % of overall revenue, after 58 % in the previous year. Domestic revenues increased from 14.0 million euros to 14.3 million euros. This is equivalent to 3 % year-on-year growth.

Profitable segments with increased revenues

The Design and Multimedia business units managed to grow in comparison with the same period in the previous year. In the Design segment the revenue increased by 5 % to 28.9 million euros. The EBITDA in this business unit amounted to 6.0 million euros (previous year: 5.7 million euros), which represents an operating margin of 21% like in the previous year. The Multimedia business unit increased significantly: revenues here were up by 27 % from 1.8 million euros to 2.3 million euros (previous year: 1.8 million euros). The EBITDA increased to 0.9 million euros (previous year: 0.4 million euros), the operating margin thus amounted to 38 % after 20 % in the first quarter of 2009.

The Build segment managed to largely maintain the high revenue level of the previous year's quarter and achieved revenues of 3.2 million euros (previous year: 3.3 million euros). The EBITDA increased further to 1.3 million euros after 1.1 million euros; the EBITDA margin thus amounted to 41 % (previous year: 32 %). The Manage segment achieved revenues of 1.0 million euros like in the previous year and an EBITDA of 0.1 million euros (previous year: 0.2 million euros).

Earnings per share of 0.35 euros

Thanks to the increase in revenues and the ongoing keenly pursued cost management the group achieved an EBITDA of 8.3 million euros in the first three months of the year (previous year: 7.3 million euros), which represents an operating margin of 24% (previous year: 22 %). The operating costs sank again marginally from 30.3 million euros to 30.1 million euros.

Following amortization from purchase price allocation of 1.8 million euros and interest of 1.2 million euros from the bank loans, the net income was 3.6 million euros (previous year: 2.3 million euros). The financial result contains the interest expenses of 0.6 million euros, which are due to the negative market valuation of the interest hedge concluded as part of the financing of the Graphisoft acquisition. The earnings per share (consolidated shares, basic) are 0.35 euros (previous year: 0.24 euros).

Nemetschek plans dividend payout

As part of the annual general meeting on May 26, 2010, Nemetschek AG will propose a dividend payout of 4.8 million euros to the shareholders. This is 0.50 euros per share. Based on the final share price in 2009 it is equivalent to a dividend yield of 3.1 percent.

Strong cash flow from operating activities

The positive result of the first three months of the current fiscal year is also reflected in the cash flow. The cash flow from operating activities rose by 3.4 million euros to 12.9 million euros (previous year: 9.5 million euros). The cash flow for the period reached 7.8 million euros (previous year: 6.8 million euros). The cash flow from investment activities amounted to – 1.0 million euros (previous year: – 0.5 million euros) and mainly comprises the replacement of fixed assets. The cash flow from financing activities amounted to – 0.4 million euros (previous year: – 0.6 million euros) and consists of interest payments only.

Group free of net debt

The group increased cash and cash equivalents compared with December 31, 2009, by 11.9 million euros to 34.8 million euros. After deduction of the remaining loan from the Graphisoft acquisition in the amount of 32.2 million euros the group is free of net debt. In the second quarter further scheduled and special repayments of the loan are planned. Current assets increased by 12.6 million euros to 65.4 million euros (December 31, 2009: 52.8 million euros), largely as a result of the increase of cash. The long-term assets were reduced to 105.4 million euros (December 31, 2009: 106.5 million euros). This was primarily the result of planned amortization of asset values from purchase price allocation.

Equity ratio of 49 %

8.9 million euros of the current liabilities relate to the current portion of the bank loan (including interest share) from the Graphisoft acquisition. 23.5 million euros of the non-current liabilities relate to the longterm portion of the bank loan. The balance sheet total was 170.9 million euros on March 31, 2010 (December 31, 2009: 159.4 million euros). This is largely attributable to the increase in liquid assets and the increase in deferred revenues of 9.2 million euros as a result of the maintenance fees invoiced at the beginning of the year. Equity amounted to 84.1 million euros (December 31, 2009: 79.6 million euros) and the equity ratio is 49 % (December 31, 2009: 50 %).

Events after the end of the reporting period

Opportunity and risk report

Please see the consolidated financial report of December 31, 2009 for details on the most significant opportunities and risks for the prospective development of the Nemetschek Group. There have been no major changes in the meantime.

Report on forecasts and other statements on prospective development

Considering the development of the license revenues in the group, initial recovery tendencies could be made out in the first quarter of 2010 in individual regions in Western and Eastern Europe that had previously suffered especially hard in the crisis. The situation in Germany, Switzerland and Austria remained pleasingly steady.

With this background in mind the Nemetschek Group continues to expect revenue growth for 2010 in the region of three to five percent. With largely stable non-sales-dependent costs the growth in revenues has a positive impact on earnings so that the EBITDA margin of 2009 (22 percent) can be maintained.

The interest expense will continue to decrease as a result of the ongoing reduction in liabilities from the Graphisoft acquisition, even if the valuation of the interest hedge made in this context at any one time can slightly dull this effect. The net income at any rate will also increase in 2010 thanks to lower interests.

With respect to the economic outlook and the forecasts for the building industry in 2010, please refer to the forecast in the consolidated financial statement of December 31, 2009.
