The PSI Group improved sales by 0.8% to 116.5 million euros in the first half of 2022 (Jun. 30, 2021 adjusted: 115.5 million euros). Due to a decline in the Electrical Grids division, the operating result (EBIT) of 8.2 million euros was 28.1% below the previous year's value (Jun. 30, 2021 adjusted: 11.4 million euros), the group net result decreased accordingly to 4.4 million euros (Jun. 30, 2021: 7.0 million euros). Despite the withdrawal in Russia and the weakness of orders in the Electrical Grids business, new orders at 150 million euros were 2.7% higher than in the prior-year quarter (Jun. 30, 2021: 146 million euros). At 188 million euros, the order book volume on June 30, 2022 exceeded the prior-year figure by 8% (June 30, 2021: 174 million euros).
In the first half of the year, the Energy Management segment (energy grids, energy trading, public transport) generated 2.9% lower sales of 61.3 million euros (June 30, 2021 adjusted: 63.1 million euros) and a significantly lower operating result of 0.9 million euros (June 30, 2021 adjusted: 4.7 million euros). The segment's earnings were mainly impacted by a cyclical setback in the Electrical Grids business. Following the strong growth and the acquisition, the decline is more pronounced than in previous cycles, and is compounded by the continuing investments in the conversion of all product lines to the PSI platform. Up to now, upgrades still have to be rolled out in long-running project contracts, which delays the inflation adjustment. The Gas Grids business is suffering from the expiring Russian business, as PSI is no longer accepting new orders here. However, there are advanced inquiries and orders from gas export regions such as Malaysia, Norway, Kazakhstan, North America and the Middle East. In Central Europe, the Gas Grids division is recording numerous system renewal inquiries and orders to increase supply security and for conversion to hydrogen. In Public Transport, PSI experiences high demand for software for electric bus depots and received an important major order at the beginning of the third quarter.
Sales in the Production Management segment (metals, industry, logistics) in the first six months were 5.3% up on the previous year's figure at 55.2 million euros (June 30, 2021 adjusted: 52.4 million euros). The segment's operating result was improved by 9.0% to 7.8 million euros (June 30, 2021 adjusted: 7.2 million euros). PSI is benefiting from the boom in the metals producing industry with the usual time delay. After the receipt of the major orders postponed in the first quarter, numerous further inquiries and offers are being processed. Thanks to the PSI platform, customers and partners are integrated into the order processing, so that demand worldwide can be served better than ever. In the automotive and mechanical engineering sector, the first ERP system for more than 1,000 users was successfully delivered. The customer can customize more than 3,000 screen views independently via workflow and PSI Click Design. After the first customer system was delivered in the logistics business, in which the server was also natively converted to the PSI platform, PSI now offers the warehouse and transport management software also to metals customers worldwide.
In the first quarter of 2022, the risk situation of the business activities in Russia was reassessed by the PSI management. In the course of this assessment, a separate segment was formed, as a significantly higher risk situation was assumed due to the war in Ukraine and the associated sanctions as well as the changed legal framework in Russia. In the second quarter of 2022, the PSI management decided to discontinue the business activities combined in the segment and to report them separately from the continuing business activities accordingly. At the end of the first half of 2022, this resulted in an effect on earnings of −1.7 million euros (previous year: −1.1 million euros). In the prior-year comparison, all carrying amounts have been adjusted to allow an economic period comparison.
At −3.0 million euros, cash flow from operating activities was significantly below the figure for the prior-year quarter (June 30, 2021: 11.3 million euros). Despite the higher dividend payment, cash and cash equivalents were at 50.5 million euros (June 30, 2021: 45.4 million euros), up 11.4% on the prior-year figure.
Compared to 31 December 2021, there have not been any material changes in the Group's assets.
The number of employees in the Group increased to 2,266 (June 30, 2021: 2,145) thanks to targeted new hires in Germany, Poland and the US.
The PSI stock ended the first six months of 2022 with a final price of 28.55 euros 38.3% below the final 2021 price of 46.30 euros. In the same period, the technology index TecDAX recorded a decline of 26.4%.
With the exception of the reassessed risks for the business activities in Russia, the Company's risk assessment has not changed significantly since the Annual Report as of 31 December 2021. With regard to the business activities in Russia, significant economic and legal risks arise from the war in Ukraine, the associated sanctions and the changed legal framework conditions in Russia. The corresponding risks could lead to a total loss of the net assets held by the PSI Group in Russia and a complete loss of business opportunities in Russia. PSI management assesses the probability of occurrence of these risks as very high and has initiated a reduction of all further business activities as a countermeasure.
In view of the stronger cyclical downturn in the business with electricity grid operators, PSI's management is taking the precaution of adjusting the annual target to the changed framework conditions. Instead of an increase in earnings of just under 20%, growth of 5 to 10% is expected. In real terms, despite the withdrawal of the Russian business, sales growth of 5% is expected. Major orders from the booming steel industry also offer great opportunities for growth.

The business activities of PSI Software AG and its subsidiaries relate to the development and sale of software systems and products fulfilling the specific needs and requirements of its customers, particularly in the following industries and service lines: utilities, manufacturing, logistics and transportation. In addition, the Group provides services of all kinds in the field of data processing, sells electronic devices and operates data processing systems.
The PSI Group is structured into the core business segments energy management and production management. The company is listed in the Prime Standard segment of the Frankfurt stock exchange.
The company is exposed to a wide range of risks that are similar to other companies active in the dynamic technology sector. Major risks for the development of the PSI Group lie in the success with which it markets its software systems and products, competition from larger companies, the ability to generate sufficient cash flows for future business development as well as in individual risks regarding the integration of subsidiaries, organisational changes and the cooperation with strategic partners.
The condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the period from 1 January 2022 to 30 June 2022 were released for publication by a decision of the management on 26 July 2022.
The condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the period from 1 January 2022 to 30 June 2022 were produced in compliance with IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting". The condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not contain all the data and notes prescribed for the annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for 31 December 2021.
With regard to the principles of accounting and valuation and especially the application of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) see the group consolidated financial statements for the financial year 2021, with the exception of the information provided in the section "Segment reporting".
Seasonal effects resulted in the PSI Group operations with regards to the receipt of maintenance revenues in the first quarter of the financial year (deferment of the influences on the result of corresponding incoming payments throughout the year) and significantly greater demand and project accounting in the fourth quarter of the financial year.
Compared to 31 December 2021 there were no changes in the consolidation group.

Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts arise when revenues have been recorded but the amounts cannot be billed under the terms of the contracts. Such amounts are recognized according to various performance criteria. Costs and estimated earnings contain directly allocable costs (labour cost and cost of services provided by third parties) as well as the appropriate portion of overheads including pro rata administrative expenses.

The development of the segment results can be found in the Group segment reporting. The PSI Group is structured into the core business segments energy management and production management.
The management of PSI decided in the first quarter of 2022 as part of a regular review of the Group's risk profile to include a new segment in internal reporting. As this operating segment differs significantly in its risk profile from the main business areas of Energy Management and Production Management, but is not of a significant size, the segment was not included as a reporting segment in the external reporting and was combined with the effects in the "Reconciliation" column. In the second quarter of 2022, PSI management decided to discontinue the business activities combined in the non-reportable segment and to disclose them accordingly separately from the continuing business activities in the consolidated income statement and the consolidated balance sheet. Further disclosures in the segment reporting, the consolidated cash flow statement and the notes to the financial statements could not yet be implemented due to the proximity of the PSI management's decision to the balance sheet date, but are in principle not material in terms of their economic significance.
