Tanja Tamara Dreilich, Executive Board
Dear shareholders, ladies and gentlemen,
The first three months of the new financial year are now behind us and we can say that Nemetschek AG has had a solid start to the year 2013. Group revenues climbed by 5 percent to EUR 43.7 million. The result before interest, taxes and depreciation (EBITDA) improved over-proportionally compared to revenues by 15 percent to EUR 10.8 million which represents an EBITDA margin of 24.6 percent. The earnings per share rose to EUR 0.55 from EUR 0.45 in the prior year.
The strong market position of the Group once again proved to be the main growth driver in its core markets in Europe. In particular all subsidiaries expanded their market positions in the DACH region, but also in the US market. In the international growth markets the Group paved its way as planned for future growth in the context of its growth initiatives.
Within the basic idea of Open BIM the greatest growth drivers for the Nemetschek Group in 2013 will also be internationalisation, innovation and cooperation. Our product innovation Nevaris already shows a good order intake and the Open BIM platform bim+ presented at BAU 2013 is ready for launch and will provide a new generation of data collaboration. And, above all, we expect additional impetus and inspiration for the whole Group from our new cooperation of Maxon with the leading worldwide software group Adobe. The alliance announced at the end of March lays the foundation for an extensive development and marketing cooperation. We are looking forward to this promising cooperation and the new challenges of the future.
Against the background of the respectable developments in the first quarter and a positively expected market environment, the Executive Board adheres to the prospects published in the 2012 annual report. For the year as a whole we expect a climb in revenues of 6 to 9 percent to EUR 185 to EUR 190 million as well as an EBITDA margin of 22 to 24 percent.
Finally, it would like to draw your attention to the upcoming Annual General Meeting on 16th May in Munich and it would be my particular pleasure to greet many of you personally. I remain
yours faithfully
Tanja Tamara Dreilich
At the beginning of the year the situation of the European financial markets calmed down. After the purchasing manager indices stabilised in January, the global economy also regained momentum in February. Not until March did the flaring up of insecurity about the future in Europe stall the rally of the DAX at 8,085 points from 7,778 points at the beginning of the year. On balance the DAX completed the first quarter almost unchanged with a growth of 0.2 percent, whereby the TecDAX climbed by 10.6 percent.
Contrary to the general trend the Nemetschek share increased significantly in terms of price and volume and closed the quarter at EUR 47.04 which represents growth of 41.7 percent since the beginning of the year. In the TecDAX ranking Nemetschek, thus, made further ground and ended the first quarter in 26th position by market capitalisation and in 34th position by trading volume. Thus, the company is considered a strong candidate for being taken up in the index as part of the imminent index revision in September.
Additionally, two further institutes, Montega Research and M.M. Warburg, published their initial assessments of Nemetschek AG in the first quarter. Thus, in the meantime, 7 analysts in total are observing the development of the company actively.

Key fIGureS
* Presentation of previous year as of December 31, 2012
The Nemetschek Group increased revenue in the first three months by 5.1% to EUR 43.7 million (previous year: EUR 41.6 million). EBITDA amounted to EUR 10.8 million (previous year: EUR 9.4 million) which represents an operative margin of 24.6% (previous year: 22.5%). Net income for the year (group share) amounted to EUR 5.3 million (previous year: EUR 4.3 million). The Nemetschek Group generated an operating cash flow of EUR 13.7 million (previous year: EUR 9.7 million).
Revenues from maintenance contracts climb by 9,1 percent The Nemetschek Group increased revenue from maintenance contracts in the first three months by 9.1% to EUR 20.8 million (previous year: EUR 19.1 million). The share of revenues from maintenance contracts compared to total revenues has grown from 45.8% to 47.6%. The license revenues of EUR 20.5 million were slightly up on those of the previous year of EUR 20.2 million. Thus, their share of total revenues amounts to 46.9% (previous year: 48.5%). Regionally the growth impulses came primarily from the core markets of the DACH region. The share of revenues in Germany rose by 11.1% to EUR 17.8 million (previous year: EUR 16.1 million). In the foreign markets the Nemetschek Group generated revenues of EUR 25.9 million (previous year: EUR 25.5 million). The share of revenues from overseas amounted to 59.2% of revenues compared with 61.4% in the previous year.
In the Design segment the Group generated revenue growth of 3.2% to EUR 34.7 million (previous year: EUR 33.6 million). The EBITDA increased marginally to EUR 7.3 million (previous year: EUR 6.4 million). This is equivalent to an operating margin of 21.1% after 18.9% in the previous year. The Multimedia segment continued to develop positively: revenues increased by 15.7% from EUR 3.6 million to EUR 4.1 million with an above-average EBITDA margin of 48.3% (previous year: 47.1%).
In the Build segment the Group generated revenues of EUR 3.8 million (previous year: EUR 3.4 million), with an EBITDA margin of 32.1% (previous year: 34.9%). The Manage segment is at the level of the prior year with revenues of EUR 1.0 million. The EBITDA margin was raised to 19.5% (previous year: 14.8%).
Operating margin amounts to 24,6 percent
In the first three months the Nemetschek Group achieved EBITDA of EUR 10.8 million (previous year: EUR 9.4 million). This represents an operating margin of 24.6% (previous year: 22.5%).
The operating expenses rose slightly by 3.2% from EUR 35.9 million to EUR 37.0 million. The cost of materials increased by EUR 0.4 million to EUR 2.1 million due to higher external development services. Personnel expenses were up by 3.9% from EUR 18.5 million to EUR 19.2 million. Other operating expenses developed in the other direction decreasing from EUR 13.2 million to EUR 13.0 million.
The net income for the year (group shares) amounted to EUR 5.3 million and thus exceeded the previous year amount of EUR 4.3 million. The tax rate of the Group is almost unchanged at 28% (previous year: 29%). Thus the earnings per share amounts to EUR 0.55 (previous year: EUR 0.45).
The Nemetschek Group generated an operating cash flow in the first three months of the year 2013 of EUR 13.7 million (previous year: EUR 9.7 million). The rise is predominantly due to the year-end effects of the provisions for employee remuneration and provisions for outstanding invoices. The cash flow from investing activities of EUR – 1.3 million was above the prior year level (EUR – 1.1 million). The cash flow from financing activities of EUR – 0.4 million (previous year: EUR – 0.6 million) includes the net interest payments for the interest rate hedge.
At the quarter closing date the Nemetschek Group held liquid funds of EUR 56.0 million (December 31, 2012: EUR 44.3 million).
Mainly due to this increase in liquidity the current assets increased to EUR 88.9 million (December 31, 2012: EUR 74.4 million). The non-current assets reduced, as a result of scheduled amortisation on assets from the purchase price allocation, to EUR 89.2 million (December 31, 2012: EUR 90.6 million).
Equity ratio at 66,0 percent The deferred revenues increased by EUR 11.2 million to EUR 32.8 million in line with maintenance fees already invoiced. The balance sheet total was EUR 178.1 million as of March 31, 2013 (December 31, 2012: EUR 165.0 million). Equity amounted to EUR 117.6 million (December 31, 2012: EUR 112.0 million), thus the equity ratio amounted to 66.0% after 67.9% as of December 31, 2012.
Against the background of the current liquidity position the Nemetschek Group has a solid basis for the proposed dividend distribution of EUR 11.1 million (previous year: EUR 11.1 million). This represents EUR 1.15 per share (previous year: EUR 1.15 per share), as well as on the basis of the year-end closing rate, a dividend yield of 3.5% (previous year: 4.5%).
There were no significant events after the end of the interim reporting period.
At the reporting date March 31, 2013, the Nemetschek Group employed 1,241 staff (March 31, 2012: 1,202). The increase is due to the planned recruitment in several group companies.
There are no significant changes compared to the information provided in the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2012.
Please see the opportunities and risks described in the group management report for the year ended December 31, 2012 for details on significant opportunities and risks for the prospective development of the Nemetschek Group. In the interim period there have been no material changes.
Forecast for the fiscal year 2013 confirmed
The development in the first three months confirms the expectations for the fiscal year 2013. Although economic uncertainties continue to remain, the Nemetschek Group sees revenue growth of about 6% – 9% as achievable. Cost discipline is traditionally high in the group. Against this background the managing board expects to be able to achieve an EBITDA margin of 22% – 24% of revenues in 2013.
The interim financial statements of the Nemetschek Group have been prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), as required to be applied in the European Union, and the interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) and of the Standing Interpretations Committee (SIC). These interim financial statements were prepared in agreement with the requirements of IAS 34. The interim financial statements as of March 31, 2013 have not been audited and have not undergone an audit review. Except for IAS 19 (Employee benefits) to be applied for the first time from January 1, 2013, the same accounting policies and calculation methods are applied to the interim financial statements as to the consolidated financial statements dated December 31, 2012. For significant changes to the consolidated statement of financial position and consolidated statement of comprehensive income and consolidated statement of cash flows we refer to the report on the earnings, financial and asset situation.
The group of companies consolidated is the same as at December 31, 2012 except for the following changes:

There were no material effects on the consolidated financial statements.
