Nemetschek defies negative market trends

  - Group revenue Q3 rises 11 percent to EUR 43.3 million (EBITDA margin:
    24%)

  - Group revenue 9M rises 8 percent to EUR 127.7 million (EBITDA margin:
    22%)

  - Net liquidity increases by 31 percent to EUR 37.8 million

Munich, October 31, 2012 - Nemetschek AG (ISIN 0006452907), a leading
global software provider for the architecture, engineering and construction
market (AEC), today published its interim report on the first nine months
of 2012.

Despite a slight weakening of the European construction sector and a
general deterioration of the economic environment, the third quarter of
2012 was successful for the Nemetschek Group. Group revenue climbed by 11
percent to EUR 43.3 million. The result before interest, taxes and
depreciation (EBITDA) climbed in comparison by 6 percent to EUR 10.2
million. The EBITDA margin amounted to 24 percent. The trend was supported
by a continuing positive development in the internationalization of the
company.

The positive developments in the third quarter, under the management of
Tanja Tamara Dreilich, could not, however, compensate for the business
development which lay below expectations in the first half year. In the
first nine months Group revenue rose 8 percent to EUR 127.7 million. EBITDA
rose in comparison by 2 percent to EUR 28.4 million. The EBITDA margin
amounted to 22 percent.

The developments of the first half year still continue to place a heavy
burden, even on the largest subsidiary of the Group, Nemetschek Allplan.
Tanja Tamara Dreilich, sole Executive Board member of Nemetschek AG,
comments on this: 'In the third quarter the Executive Board analyzed the
situation together with the new management of Allplan, as well as
introducing initial steps towards raising profitability. These are already
showing the first signs of success.'

On the basis of a realistic scenario the Executive Board of Nemetschek AG
sticks to the outlook for the full year 2012 published in July 2012.
According to this, revenue is expected to reach at least EUR 175 million
with EBITDA at previous year's level. This also comprises the costs of the
steps planned for 2012 as part of the optimization of Allplan.
