Interim Management Report
Business Development
Earnings
PSI Group increased new orders by 36.4% to 269 million euros in the first nine months of 2025 (Sept. 30, 2024: 198 million euros). At 188 million euros, the order backlog on September 30, 2025, was at the previous year's level (Sept. 30, 2024: 188 million euros) despite the sale of the Mobility business. Group revenues increased by 14.8% to 203,6 million euros (Sept. 30, 2024: 177.4 million euros). Adjusted EBIT, which excludes restructuring costs and transaction costs associated with the conclusion of the investment agreement with Warburg Pincus, was in line with expectations at 5.8 million euros. Unadjusted EBIT was negative at −20.4 million euros due to one-time expenses, after being impacted by the cyberattack in the same period of the previous year (Sept. 30, 2024: −19.4 million euros). The consolidated result was correspondingly −26.3 million euros (Sept. 30, 2024: −24.1 million euros).
The Grid & Energy Management segment achieved 28.3% higher revenue of 96.9 million euros and an operating result of −8.0 million euros, impacted by restructuring costs.
Revenue in the Process Industries & Metals segment increased by 9% to 53.1 million euros. The segment's operating result improved to 3.0 million euros.
At 25.5 million euros, revenue in the Discrete Manufacturing segment was 27% higher than in the previous year. The operating result was negative at −1 million euros due to expenses for the cloud and SaaS transformation.
The Logistics segment increased revenue by 16.1% to 25.4 million euros and improved the operating result to 0.4 million euros.
Financial Position
Cash flow from operating activities was positive at 2.6 million euros (Sept. 30, 2024: −34.2 million euros), so that cash and cash equivalents increased to 30.3 million euros compared to the end of 2024 (December 31, 2024: 26.5 million euros).
{3}------------------------------------------------
Assets
Compared to 31 December 2024, there have not been any material changes in the Group's assets.
Personnel Development
The number of employees in the Group increased to 2,373 (Sept. 30, 2024: 2,316) due to targeted recruitment and following the sale of the Mobility division.
PSI-Shares
The PSI stock ended the 3rd quarter of 2025 with a final price of 26.60 euros, 26.1% above the final 2024 price of 21.10 euros. In the same period, the technology index TecDAX recorded an increase of 6.8%.
Risk Report
The estimate of the corporate risk has not changed since the Annual Report for 31 December 2024.
Outlook
On October 12, 2025, PSI signed an investment agreement with Warburg Pincus to enter into a strategic partnership supporting the long-term growth of PSI. Warburg Pincus has announced its intention to make a voluntary public takeover offer for all outstanding shares of PSI. In this context, PSI expects transaction costs in the low double-digit million range, which will impact both the unadjusted operating result (EBIT) and the consolidated net result as one-time expenses. Warburg Pincus will provide PSI with financial resources beyond the existing credit lines to finance these transaction costs.
As announced in the report for the first half of 2025, a cost reduction program was initiated in the Grid & Energy Management segment, resulting in additional one-time expenses of approximately 12 million euros. In its operating business, PSI continues to expect growth in order intake and sales of around 10% for 2025 and an adjusted EBIT margin of around 4% after adjustment for one-time expenses.

Notes on the consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2025
The Company
1. Business Activities and Legal Background
The business activities of PSI Software SE 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, production and logistics. In addition, the Group provides services of all kinds in the field of data processing, sells electronic devices and operates data processing systems.
Since the end of the 2024 financial year, the PSI Group has been divided into the four main business units Grid & Energy Management, Process Industries & Metals, Discrete Manufacturing and Logistics. The company's shares are 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, organizational changes and the cooperation with strategic partners.
The condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the period from January 1, 2025 to September 30, 2025 were released for publication by a decision of the management on October 29, 2025.
The condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the period from January 1, 2025 to September 30, 2025 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 December 31, 2024.
{9}------------------------------------------------
2. Accounting and Valuation Principles
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 2023.
3. Seasonal Influences on the Business Activities
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.
4. Changes in the Consolidation Group
After various conditions of the share and purchase agreement dated December 21, 2024, for the sale of 100% of the shares in PSI Transcom GmbH were met, the sale became legally effective on March 5, 2025. Until this date, the subsidiary was allocated to the Other segment.

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.
