Ad-hoc Announcement

Munich, 02.08.2005 – The Nemetschek group once again demonstrated its profitability in the first half of 2005 and managed to further increase sales revenues. Group sales rose from 46.4 million euros to 47.1 million euros, whereby the group’s international activities showed significant growth (up by 10 %). The overall positive development can be attributed to a successful Q2 with a 6 % increase in sales and a 41 % rise in the operating result.

Operating result (EBITA) up by 26 %
Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) more than doubled from 2.5 million euros to 5.2 million euros in the first half of the fiscal year. This increase is mainly due to the rise in gross profit (up by 1.3 million euros) and the removal of goodwill amortization in accordance with IFRS 3 (up by 1.6 million euros). Adjusted for goodwill amortization, Nemetschek achieved an increase of 26 % in the first half of the fiscal year and 41 % in Q2. The consolidated net income rose to 4.1 million euros (1.6 million euros in the previous year; 3.2 million euros in the previous year before goodwill amortization) in the first half of the fiscal year. This is the equivalent of a 29 % adjusted increase

Solid equity ratio of 55.5 %
As a result of the improvement in earnings, the cash flow for the period increased from 5.9 million euros to 7.3 million euros (up by 23 %). In the first half of the fiscal year, liquid assets – adjusted for the dividend payout of 19.3 million euros in May (2 euros per share) – increased by 4.9 million euros to 24.7 million euros (31.12.2004: 39.1 million euros). Equity amounts to 44.7 million euros (31.12.2004: 60.0 million euros). This is equivalent to a solid equity ratio of 55.5 % (31.12.2004: 68.5%).

Outlook: Growth in sales and significant increase in earnings
In a cautiously optimistic market environment Nemetschek can fare well and expects sales revenues to continue to rise and the operating result to increase significantly once again in the second half of the fiscal year.

The full first-half report will be published on 12.08.2005.
