SimCorp enters Q with EUR 321m of the projected 2018 revenue secured, EUR 30m or 10.3% higher than at the same time last year.

Based on exchange rates prevailing at October 31, 2018, SimCorp estimates currency fluctuations to have a negative impact on revenue growth of around 2% (unchanged from previous reporting) and to have a negative impact on EBIT margin of around 0.5%-points (unchanged from previous reporting). * This announcement contains certain forward-looking statements and expectations in respect of the 2018 financial year. Such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance, and involve risk and uncertainty, and actual performance may deviate materially from that expressed in such forward-looking statements due to a variety of factors.

Accordingly, license 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.

Pages of SimCorp s Annual Report describe the most important general risk factors and the risk management measures utilized in everyday operations. Management believes that the description of these potential risks still applies. Shareholder information Restricted stock units In Q3 2018, 746 restricted stock units have been granted to two employees related to incentive programs. The restricted stock units will vest after three years, subject to continuing employment. 433,377 restricted stock units are outstanding at September 30, The restricted stock units will be transferred in whole or in part between 2019 and 2022 to program participants still employed when the stock units vest, subject to performance conditions.
