4 EURm Company Announcement Management s report nine months ended 30 September 2011 Development in sales and orders Overall, SimCorp s business performed broadly in line with expectations in the first nine months of M licence contract order intake was EUR 18.8m compared with EUR 21.5m in the same period of last year, a decrease of 13%. Q3 order intake was EUR 4.2m, up 17% from EUR 3.6m in Q However, it should be noted that the order intake in Q3 is typically at a relatively low level. Sales activities developed satisfactorily, and in Q3 one new SimCorp Dimension licence contract was signed. Sales activities to existing customers of add-on licences for the nine months decreased by 22% compared with the same period of As previously communicated there are timing differences in the level of realised sales of add-on licences which, together with the fact that especially the first quarter of 2010 was characterised by an unusually high level of sales of add-on licences, explains the decrease compared to After the end of the quarter, a new SimCorp Dimension license contract has been signed with a German bank. 9M income recognised from licences and add-on licences was EUR 22.0m, up 10% compared with the same period of last year. Income recognised from licences and add-on licences was EUR 6.0m in Q3, 22% more than in the year-earlier period. SimCorp Dimension licences, quarterly order intake and order book (aggregate new licences and add-on licences)*, Order inflow Order backlog Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 Q1 Q2 Q *) Order intake and order book include licences to new customers as well as add-on licences to existing customers. The order book is the licence value of signed licence agreements that has not yet been recognised in income. Page 4 of 18

5 EURm Company Announcement The licence contract order book decreased by EUR 3.3m in the first nine months, representing the difference between actual order intake and income recognised from software licences adjusted for the effect of exchange rate changes. The order book stood at EUR 11.6m at 30 September 2011, EUR 4.6m lower than at the year-earlier date. Revenue Consolidated 9M revenue was EUR 130.3m, up 5.5% y/y. Measured in local currencies revenue was 5.2% higher than in the same period of Exchange rate changes thus had a net positive impact on revenue of 0.3%. Q3 revenue was EUR 41.7m, 8.8% higher than in Q Measured in local currencies the increase amounted to 8.5% compared with the same period of Exchange rate changes thus had a net positive impact on revenue of 0.3% for the quarter. 9M income recognised from licence sales amounted to EUR 22.0m, which was 10% higher than in the same period of 2010, first and foremost because a larger part of the licence contract order book was recognised as income than in Income recognised from licence sales in Q was up by 22% compared with the year-earlier period to stand at EUR 6.0m. 9M fees from professional services amounted to EUR 41.0m, which was 6% lower than in the same period of Professional service fees in Q amounted to EUR 12.8m, a decrease of 1% compared with Q3 last year. Fees from professional services have generally become more solid, and the activity level for the coming quarter is expected to be higher than this quarter. Regular maintenance income increases in line with the completion and implementation of new customer installations and reached EUR 66.0m in the first nine months of 2011, up 15% on the same period of last year. Maintenance income in Q was up by 12% on the year-earlier period to EUR 22.4m. Other income in the quarter, including course fees, amounted to EUR 0.5m. Revenue Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 Q1 Q2 Q Page 5 of 18

7 Salaries and staff-related costs, which accounted for about 73% of total costs, have been reduced by EUR 3.1m, or 4%, compared with the first nine months This is partly due to no costs for employee shares in 2011 (EUR 1.5m), and partly to open positions being filled based on the amount of revenue secured by contract for the full year, which has led to a timing delay in new appointments. The reduction in other costs amounting to around EUR 2.0m was attributable to a seminar for all employees in the Group (EUR 1.5m) hosted in M production costs decreased by 5% to EUR 49.2m, primarily due to an adjustment of the capacity within consultancy activities combined with higher efficiency. In Q3 2011, production costs increased by 4% compared with Q M research and development costs at EUR 32.3m were 8% lower than in the same period of This was mainly due to a reduction in staff costs, but also impacted by lower depreciation charges. In Q3, research and development costs were reduced by 3% relative to the same period of Compared with its peers, SimCorp strategically maintains a high level of research and development costs. The effective development capacity is unchanged compared with last year, mainly driven by increased productivity in the development unit in the Ukraine. Thus, productivity improvements offset the lower number of software developers. Sales and distribution cost decreased by 3% to EUR 17.8m compared with the first nine months of 2010 and by 11% compared with Q M administrative expenses, amounting to EUR 9.8m, increased by 8% relative to the same period of 2010 primarily due to increased costs for external consultants. The cost level in Q3 partly reflects costs for external consultants of a non-recurring nature. Employees The Group had 1,088 employees at 30 September 2011, which was 41 fewer than at the same time last year. The decrease was, among other things, due to open positions being filled based on the amount of revenue secured by contract for the full year and to employee turnover being higher than in the same period of last year. Group performance The Group posted EBIT of EUR 21.2m in the first nine months of 2011, EUR 11.8m more than in the same period of Q3 EBIT showed a profit of EUR 5.9m, against EUR 3.5m in Q3 of last year. Exchange rate changes since 1 January 2011 reduced EBIT by EUR 0.3m. Page 7 of 18

8 EURm Company Announcement EBIT Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 Q1 Q2 Q M financial net income amounted to EUR 0.9m, mainly attributable to an unrealised exchange gain in connection with economic hedging of CHF. SimCorp has made an agreement regarding economic hedging of CHF 15m in the period up to an including Q The CHF 15m are contractually committed cash flow from Swiss customers in the period. Furthermore, adjustments due to exchange rate changes on short-term debt to subsidiaries are included in financial net income. Q3 financial net income amounted to EUR 1.6m, mainly attributable to an unrealised exchange gain in connection with the economic hedging of CHF. The Group posted a 9M pre-tax profit of EUR 22.1m, against EUR 7.6m in the first nine months of The estimated tax charge totals EUR 6.1m, corresponding to a tax rate of 28%. The consolidated net profit for the nine months was thus EUR 16.0m, against a net profit of EUR 4.9m in the year-earlier period. The Group posted a pre-tax profit of EUR 7.5m, against a profit of EUR 3.2m in Q After tax totalling EUR 2.3m, equivalent to a tax rate of 30%, the Group posted a net profit for Q of EUR 5.2m, compared with EUR 2.5m in the same period of last year.

9 Balance sheet items and cash flow SimCorp s total assets amounted to EUR 104.1m at 30 September 2011, including cash of EUR 40.1m compared to EUR 101.0m in total assets, including cash of EUR 42.7m at 30 September The Group had total receivables of EUR 40.9m at 30 September 2011, representing an increase of EUR 6.2m from 30 September Operating activities generated a cash inflow of EUR 29.6m in the nine months against EUR 23.0m in the same period of EUR 1.9m of the liquidity was spent on investing activites, while financing activities generated a net cash outflow of EUR 30.2m with dividend payments of EUR 17.8m and purchase of treasury shares of EUR 13.2m (EUR 6.3m in Q3). Comprehensive income and changes in equity Exchange rate adjustments on translation of net investments in foreign subsidiaries amounted to a net expense of EUR 0.3m in the first nine months of the year compared with a net income of EUR 2.9m in the year-earlier period. These fluctuations were primarily due to the change in the USD/EUR exchange rate. 9M total comprehensive income was thus EUR 15.7m against EUR 7.8m in the same period last year. For Q3, exchange rate adjustments on translation of net investments in foreign subsidiaries amounted to a net income of EUR 0.2m compared with a net expense of EUR 0.2m in the yearearlier period. Total comprehensive income for Q3 was thus EUR 5.4m against EUR 2.3m in the same period last year. The company s equity amounted to EUR 64.0m at 30 September Equity at 30 September 2011 was reduced by EUR 13.6m compared with 31 December Dividend payments to shareholders amounting to EUR 17.8m and purchase of treasury shares amounting to EUR 13.2m reduced equity. Total comprehensive income for the period of EUR 15.7m as well as payment for and adjustment of share-based payment of EUR 1.8m increased equity. Equity was increased by EUR 3.7m compared with 30 September Page 9 of 18

10 Outlook for the financial year 2011 *) SimCorp s business performed broadly in line with expectations during the first nine months of the year. SimCorp s intake of licence contract orders varies considerably from one period to the next. In Q one new software licence contract was signed. SimCorp continues to experience a satisfactory, geographically diversified demand for its products and services. SimCorp s pipeline of potential licence contracts performs satisfactorily, and the Group retains its full-year expectations of a total full-year order intake of licence contracts that is higher than in Given the outlook for continuing acceptable growth in business activities and with continued focus on cost containment, SimCorp upholds its projections for 2011 of revenue growth and overall business growth measured in local currencies of more than 5% and an EBIT margin of at least 20%. The total projected revenue for the whole of 2011 is based on the conclusion of new licence orders and add-on licences in Q4, where the timing and size is subject to uncertainty, and the terms and conditions of the final contracts will affect the timing of when the licence is recognised as income. The final revenue and overall business growth for 2011 may therefore fluctuate, however, it is anticipated that both revenue and business growth are likely to be higher than 5% measured in local currencies. Since costs are not fully affected by changes in revenue, the EBIT margin might also fluctuate, but is still forecast to be at least 20%. In Q3, contracts for EUR 7.6m of revenue were secured, against EUR 11.8m in the same period last year, and SimCorp enters Q4 with EUR 168.9m of the revenue projected for 2011 secured by contract, EUR 9.5m more than at the same time last year. Based on SimCorp Dimension s product platform and a strong sales, service and development organisation, the Group is well positioned to meet market demands, and SimCorp therefore has positive expectations for its long-term business performance. *) This announcement contains certain forward-looking statements and expectations in respect of the 2011 financial year. Such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance. They involve risk and uncertainty and the actual performance may deviate materially from that expressed in such forwardlooking statements due to a variety of factors. Readers are warned not to rely unduly on such forward-looking statements which apply only as at the date of this announcement. The Group s revenue will continue to be impacted by relatively few, but large system orders, and such orders are expected to be won at relatively irregular intervals. The terms agreed in the individual licence agreements will determine the impact on the order book and on licence income for any specific financial reporting period. Accordingly, licence revenue is likely to vary considerably from one quarter to the next. Unless required by law or corresponding obligations SimCorp A/S is under no duty and undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement after the distribution of this document, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

11 Other information Significant risk and uncertainty factors SimCorp operates in a dynamic and complex business environment, where performance relies strongly on the ongoing achievement of a number of success criteria. Pages of SimCorp s Annual Report 2010 describe the most important general risk factors and the risk preventive measures used in everyday operations. Management believes the description of these potential risks still applies. However, it should be noted that the increased volatility of most of SimCorp s major invoicing currencies to EUR impacts the significance of the currency risk for the reported financial results. Further, the turmoil in the global financial markets with significantly increased volatility can potentially impact SimCorp s customers, leading to lower earnings and prolonged decision processes for investments in new software which may have a negative impact on SimCorp s revenue. Exercise of options In Q3, 8,260 stock options of DKK 10 each were exercised. At 17 November 2011, a total of 180,683 stock options of DKK 10 each had been issued, including 120,150 options of DKK 10 each with an exercise price higher than the market price of DKK 908 per share of DKK 10 each. Issue of restricted stock units In accordance with SimCorp s remuneration policy 122 restricted stock units of DKK 10 each were granted in Q3 in connection with the appointment of a Senior Vice President, bringing the total number of restricted stock units granted to 16,336 units of DKK 10 each. The restricted stock units will vest after three years, subject to continuing employment. Furthermore, the restricted stock units are subject to conditions with respect to average annual minimum revenue growth and annual average net operating profit after tax for the financial years If the two latter conditions are only partially satisfied, the undertaking with respect to the number of shares transferred after three years will be reduced, and may possibly lapse completely. Moreover, at 30 September 2011, 14,288 restricted stock units of DKK 10 each remained, which had been granted in April 2010 with a potential to be partly or fully transferred in 2013 to programme participants still employed at the transfer time. Treasury shares In Q3, the Group acquired 54,846 treasury shares of DKK 10 each at an average price of DKK 847 per share of DKK 10 each, totalling EUR 6.2m. For the nine months, the total amount of treasury shares acquired amounted to EUR 13.2m. The Group now holds 247,229 treasury shares of DKK 10 each, equal to 5.4% of the company s share capital. SimCorp expects to purchase additional treasury shares in Q4 at an amount of up to EUR 3m. Page 11 of 18

17 Notes to the financial statements Accounting policies The interim report is presented in accordance with IAS 34 Interim financial reporting as adopted by the EU and Danish disclosure requirements for interim reports of listed companies. The accounting policies are consistent with those of the Annual Report 2010 except as described below. See pages of the Annual Report 2010 for a comprehensive description of the accounting policies applied. Effective 1 January 2011, SimCorp A/S has implemented a number of mandatory accounting standards and interpretations which do not affect the recognition of the Group s result, assets, liabilities or equity. Effective August 2011, SimCorp has made an agreement regarding economic hedging of CHF in connection with future short term intercompany payments from a subsidiary. Judgments and estimates The preparation of interim reports requires management to make accounting judgments and estimates that affect the use of accounting policies and recognised assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The most significant estimates made by management when using the Group s accounting policies and the most significant judgment uncertainties attached hereto are the same for the preparation of the interim report as for the preparation of the Annual Report Page 17 of 18
