Management's Assessment of First-Quarter Results

Q1 2020 marks the start of the second year of our Helix transformation and three months of further strategic momentum for our Company. The quarterly results represent a solid performance against a globally uncertain backdrop, with total revenue and EBITA (non-IFRS) both ahead of market expectations and our Annual Recurring Revenue base now close to €500 million.

Toward the end of the quarter, the COVID-19 pandemic began to make its impact felt on our business. We moved quickly to protect our people, ensure frictionless continuity in our operations and support our customers. We have taken careful steps to requalify our pipeline, which underpins our confidence in delivering a solid H1 performance. We have also taken prudent steps to revise elements of our FY 2020 guidance. We now expect slower than anticipated growth in 2020 for our two DBP revenue lines, but FY 2020 guidance for A&N and Non-IFRS EBITA operating margin remains unchanged. We also continue to support our 2023 medium term ambitions.

For the first quarter, Group revenue was €207.0 million (Q1 2019: €201.4 million): a rise of 2 percent YoY. Total product revenue growth (licenses + maintenance + SaaS) was up 4 percent at €160.9 million. Total license revenue increased 9 percent to €46.7 million (Q1 2019: €42.6 million) while Group maintenance revenue was flat at €107.3 million (Q1 2019: €107.1 million). Q1 Group EBIT was ahead of consensus at €28.7 million (Q1 2019: €42.2 million) but lower YoY as a consequence of planned strategic investment. Non-IFRS EBITA margin was 19.2 percent and non-IFRS operating EBITA was €39.7 million (Q1 2019: €51.6 million).

Adabas & Natural (A&N) achieved an exceptional start to the year, delivering 47 percent growth in bookings despite tough YoY comparatives. This performance was driven by a major win with a US Government Agency and is a sign of the continuing relevance and value of A&N's product set, which in the first quarter became available on Microsoft's Azure Marketplace.

Our Digital Business Platform (DBP) excluding Cloud & IoT saw, toward the end of the quarter, a number of EMEA deals slip into Q2 as a result of the economic uncertainty caused by COVID-19. Despite this, we saw positive developments in North America, which significantly exceeded our Q1 targets and saw DBP growth of more than 20 percent YoY. DBP delivered bookings growth of 1 percent and revenue declined 3 percent to €88.1 million compared to €90.5 million in Q1 2019.

Cloud & IoT delivered significantly ahead of our guidance expectations with strong bookings growth of 65 percent. We are particularly pleased to have delivered on the first set of key implementation milestones for our major recent new IoT customer, Schindler. Business line revenue increased by 60 percent to €15.4 million compared to €9.5 million in Q1 2019.

Taken together, DBP including Cloud & IoT total revenue increased 3 percent YoY. The true leading indicator of our progress is the step-change we have achieved in our shift to subscription. At the end of Q1, 69 percent of all DBP bookings were subscription or SaaS based compared to 63 percent one year ago. This is strong momentum in our strategy to improve the quality and predictability of our earnings over time.

This second year of our Helix transformation is focused on driving our momentum forward. COVID-19 may have some impact on our visibility for H2, but our strategy and opportunity have not changed. We are executing against five strategic focus areas—Sales, Subscription, Partnerships, Culture, Marketing—and prioritizing investment in those areas that can deliver the greatest commercial impact.

Our business transformation is underpinned by cultural transformation. Investing in our Culture remains of paramount importance. Our CHRO, Dr Elke Frank, is helping to rewire our company for growth by retaining key talent, enabling our leaders to drive change, and securing new talent to augment our strong team. In the first quarter we have brought several new leaders in to our global organization from technology peers such as Salesforce, Axway Inc., Apigee, and Tibco.

We saw several highlights in our first quarter Sales performance, most notably in our continued success at winning competitively in the market. In Q1 we added 56 new customers to our base, including Armani, Golden Goose and Quest Diagnostics: each of which were secured as competitive wins. Alongside the achievement of targets by all our regional teams this quarter gives us confidence that our 2019 Go-To-Market (GTM) changes are delivering impact.

Our shift to subscription, which as noted above gathered significant pace in Q1, has served to further strengthen our financial position at a challenging economic time. Software AG is now generating €488 million of Annual Recurring Revenue.

We continue to deepen and derive value from our existing Partnerships in addition to securing new ones. In the first quarter, PwC became a new member of the ADAMOS network and we struck a new partnership with a major IT service provider covering IoT, Analytics and Integration. We were also pleased to expand our strategic partnership with Amazon Web Services to now encompass joint sales and GTM activities.

The efforts of our Marketing team are driving meaningful sales success. We have seen a 43 percent YoY increase in Marketing Qualified Leads during Q1 and a 20 percent YoY increase in visitors to our web pages. In light of the current COVID-19 situation, the team has well-developed plans to make our annual International User Groups conference fully virtual for 2020.

As we move forward in to the second quarter of the year, we believe we are well positioned to manage our business through the current challenge. We have a strong financial footing with over €500 million in available cash and €200m further headroom in credit facilities. Our revenue exposure to the most impacted areas is low; our investments are targeted; and we are actively managing our cost base.

We cannot forget that the COVID-19 pandemic has had a terrible human cost. It has, however, undeniably changed the way many organizations work. From this change, there is no going back. The transformation markets we target such as Hybrid Integration Platform market set to reach \$18 billion by 20221 and the IoT Platform market set to reach \$25.6 billion by 20232—are not going to go away.

The imperative for companies to transform is now stronger than ever. We believe Software AG continues to have the best products and the right operational approach to execute on those transformations, as they happen.

"During Q1, Software AG performed well as the momentum building in our Helix transformation showed through in our results. To-date, our business has proven resilient in the face of the Covid-19 pandemic. We have moved fast to support our people, listened carefully to our customers, and reacted quickly to meet their needs. Our mission critical products, limited exposure to the most affected industries, and the continued growth in Q1 of our recurring revenue stream, driven by our transformation, give us some resilience. This growth, enhanced by further competitive customer wins, has strengthened our robust financial position and our ability to manage through the period. It remains impossible to predict how long today's macroeconomic uncertainty will last. However, IT demand will remain strong and we are well positioned to benefit when market conditions recover."—Sanjay Brahmawar, CEO of Software AG

Business Line Development

Software AG's Adabas & Natural (A&N) delivered an exceptional performance in the first quarter, generating revenues of €57.5 million (Q1 2019: €54.7 million) representing YoY revenue growth of 5 percent. This performance is a sign of the continuing relevance and value of A&N's product set, which in the first quarter became available on Microsoft's Azure Marketplace. A&N license sales increased by 20 percent YoY to €21.5 million (Q1 2019: €17.8 million). A&N maintenance revenues totalled €35.9 million in the first quarter: a decrease YoY of 2 percent (Q1 2019: €36.8 million). Bookings in this segment grew by 47 percent YoY.

Software AG's Digital Business Platform (DBP) excluding Cloud & IoT saw a YoY revenue decline of 3 percent to €88.1 million (Q1 2019: €90.5 million), a consequence of a number of DBP deals slipping in to the second quarter in Q1's final weeks. License revenues declined 13 percent YoY to €18.6 million (Q1 2019: €21.7 million. Bookings in this segment grew by 1 percent YoY.

Quarterly Statement Q1 | 2020 Total Revenue, Bookings and Earnings Development Employees 2020 Outlook

Total Revenue, Bookings and Earnings Development

In the quarter under review, Software AG recorded €207.0 million (Q1 2019: €201.4 million) in total revenue. Group maintenance revenue was flat at €107.3 million (Q1 2019: €107.1 million), while Group license revenue grew by 9 percent to €46.7 million (Q1 2019: €42.6 million). Software AG's total product revenue for the quarter (constituting licenses + maintenance + SaaS) amounted to €160.9 million (Q1 2019: €154.5 million): a growth rate of 4 percent.

Software AG uses the metric 'Product Bookings' as a leading indicator to better reflect business progress and the pace of its Helix transformation. In the first quarter, Software AG's Adabas & Natural (A&N) business line generated year-on-year bookings growth of 47 percent. DBP including Cloud & IoT business line generated year-on-year bookings growth of 19 percent. In the first quarter, 69 percent of all bookings within DBP were subscription and SaaS based (Q1 2019: 55 percent).

The Company's earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) performance was ahead of market consensus at €28.7 million (Q1 2019: €42.2 million) for the first quarter. Software AG's operating EBITA (non-IFRS) amounted to €39.7 million (Q1 2019: €51.6 million). The year-on-year decline in both values is a result of planned investment in Software AG's Helix transformation. The respective operating margin (EBITA, non-IFRS) was 19.2 percent (Q1 2019: 25.6 percent).

Employees

As of March 31, 2020, Software AG had 5,005 (March 31, 2019: 4,737) employees worldwide (full-time equivalents). Of that total, 1,940 (March 31, 2019: 1,843) worked in Professional Services, 1,434 (March 31, 2019: 1,339) in Research and Development, 967 (March 31, 2019: 936) in Sales and Marketing and 664 (March 31, 2019: 619) in Administration.

2020 Outlook

COVID-19 began to impact our business at the end of Q1. Software AG remains confident in its ability to deliver a solid first half performance, however current macro-economic uncertainty reduces visibility in to the second half. The predictability and timing of deal closures has become more uncertain, notably for DBP and IoT, which have a greater reliance on new customer acquisition. Accordingly, the Company now expects slower than anticipated growth for its two DBP revenue lines but maintains its outlook for A&N and for Non-IFRS EBITA operating margin. Over the medium-term, demand for digitization should intensify as a result of the likely lasting changes COVID-19 has caused within businesses and their operating structures. Software AG therefore confirms its 2023 ambitions, most notably to reach €1 billion in revenue and expand operating margin to a 25 to 30 percent range.
