Today SimCorp's Board of Directors reviewed and approved the Group's annual
report for 2013.

Financial highlights for 2013:

-- Revenue up 7.6% to EUR 225.1m (DKK 1.68bn), 10% in local currencies
-- EBIT margin up from 22.4% to 24.1%
-- EBIT up 15.6% to EUR 54.2m (DKK 404m)
-- Profit for the year up 14.1% to EUR 39.3m

Klaus Holse, SimCorp’s CEO:

“2013 was a year dominated by positive developments and with financial
performance in line with guidance. The notable need in the market to replace
old legacy systems with modern, integrated, and real-time solutions was clearly
reasserted. We improved our position in the front office segment and we gained
new clients in our most important growth markets. We added 7 new clients to our
portfolio, which now counts 166 in 23 countries. The viability of our organic
growth strategy has been confirmed and we are ready to unfold the growth
potential to an even larger extent in the years to come.”

Expectations for 2014

SimCorp enters 2014 with EUR 157m of the 2014 revenue secured, an increase of
EUR 7m compared with entering 2013. SimCorp expects revenue growth of 10%
measured in local currencies, and an EBIT margin of 24% measured in local
currencies including the effect of the acquisition of Equipos Ltd.

Dividend and share buyback

At the company’s Annual General Meeting SimCorp’s Board of Directors will
propose that a dividend of EUR 22.2m be paid to the company’s shareholders,
corresponding to DKK 4.00 per share of DKK 1. In addition, given there are no
specific requirements for liquidity SimCorp expects to continue to buy back
shares in 2014, in the amount of EUR 10m during the next six months. For the
full year SimCorp expects to buy back shares for a total value of EUR 25m.
