Strategy

Recap | New Work SE strategic winning aspiration: become recruiting partner #1 in D-A-CH by winning talents

4 New Work SE Investor Presentation

Recap | New Work SE addressable market: with >5bn€ in est. size, the recruiting market in D-A-CH is huge

*Figures relate to DE 2021, only – AT/ CH each provide +10% to +15% potential; arrows indicate expected future growth trend; SOURCE: Market model (German Federal Statistical Office, German Federal Labor Agency, Institute of Economics, other studies & reports) Recap | Strong structural market tailwind: recruiting demand is driven by a stable and growing talent shortage

Source 1: IW "Mögliche Entwicklungen des Fachkräftemangelns bis zum Jahr 2040", 04/21

Recap | Our strategy follows historic success: B2B HR solutions revenues as primary growth driver on group-level

Strong Growth in HR Solutions Revenues (in € Mio.)

Segment revenues prior to 2018 might deviate with historically reported figures on back of changes in IFRS or restructurings

Already today, we have a strong right to play – and we're extending our competitive position with focused strategic measures

Focus segments Brands & competitive strength in 2023 Strategic measures for 2024

(1) XING | We are repositioning XING, building on our historic strength, towards a jobs network to drive NWSE strategy execution A

From 'Professional Social Network' to 'Jobs Network'

	network as main purpose	network as empowering factor
Monetization Focus	B2C Memberships	B2B Recruiting Revenues (Passive & Active Sourcing)
Primary Product Value	Social Network (Feed, Messaging, …)	'Find' & 'Get Found' (Passive & Active Sourcing)
Supporting Product Values	Diverse (News, Jobs, Events)	Network & Content (Enhancement of Candidate & Recruiter Journey)
Performance Priorities	Network Size & Activity	Applications & Recruiter-Replies

(1) XING | New XING 'jobs network' will provide a better job seeker experience, empowering everyone to choose the job that's just right A

HR Solutions XING kununu

XING | How XING's repositioned jobs-network ensures to drive number, quality, and recency of profiles to drive B2B monetization A

Strategic Edge Differentiated positioning Ongoing CV-base recency ensured Hard to copy for competitors

Levers to drive CV quality recency
Job recommendations	Value-based user incentive
Job applications	Automated CV updates
Salary benchmarks	More interaction / log ins
CV editor relaunch	More well-described CVs
Recruiter-visibility	Retained self-actualization

Marketing	Higher jobseeker traffic

User Value-Adds

• My profile allows me to leverage my job network for open roles & peer-to-peer recommendations
• My profile allows me to receive job recos that match my individual preferences and possibilities
• My profile allows me to get relevant offers from recruiters which I would otherwise not

XING | Jobs-Network KPIs continue to develop nicely

XING's repositioning towards 'jobs network' is fully on track!

Guidance 2024 | Pro-forma EBITDA of € 55-65m driven by revenues, accelerated investments & cost savings from restructuring

Core P&L drivers in 2024

• Revenues declining

macro situation & ongoing transformation from B2C to B2B monetization

• Accelerated investments

doubling down on strategy execution in light of strong 2023 achievements

• Reorganization

organizational transformation from top to bottom to improve strategic efficacy & cost base

Guidance 2024

pro-forma EBITDA guidance of € 55-65m

aiming to return to margins of >30% & topline growth by doubling down on strategy in 2026

Financial Impact

We aim to continue paying out dividends, but need to reduce them to a minimum level during transition due to local GAAP bottleneck

History of strong dividend distribution

• NWSE policy of continuous and sustainable dividend payment
• Since 2011 ~ € 250m in dividends paid or >40€ per share
• No decrease in regular dividend until today

Dividend-bottleneck by local GAAP

• Restructuring costs reduce local GAAP earnings (HGB) during strategic transition
• Local GAAP retained earnings determine dividend capacity – not IFRS retained earnings
• Local GAAP retained earnings structurally lower than IFRS

Implications on dividends during strategic transition

We aim to continue dividend payouts during transition at minimum level of €1 per share
