USU remains on growth track - substantial revenues and earnings increase
Möglingen (Germany), August 22, 2007.
During the first six months of fiscal 2007, USU Software AG boosted Group revenues by 31.0% to EUR 14,993 thousand (previous year: EUR 11,442 thousand). This was mainly due to the ongoing and strong product business, to which LeuTek (acquired in the previous year) also contributed.
Along with the successful operating business performance, it was primarily the positive tax effects that led to an increase in the Group net profit in the first half of 2007 to EUR 2,710 thousand (previous year: EUR 658 thousand) or EUR 0.26 per share (previous year: EUR 0.07). The tax income contained therein of EUR 1,933 thousand (previous year: EUR -4 thousand) is mainly due to the recognition of deferred tax assets from the tax loss carryforwards of USU Software AG. The final purchase price allocation from the LeuTek takeover also resulted in amortization of intangible assets of EUR 497 thousand (previous year: EUR 102 thousand) in the first half of 2007. Despite this additional amortization, USU Software AG lifted Group earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) to EUR 599 thousand (previous year: EUR 457 thousand) in the first half of 2007. Without taking the effects mentioned into account, USU Software AG generated an increase in Group operating earnings before interest, taxes and depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) compared with the previous year of 78.5% to EUR 1,294 thousand (previous year: EUR 724 thousand) due to substantial revenues growth in the period under review with comparatively low cost expansion.
The Management Board confirms the targets for full-year 2007 and, following the strategic realignment on the growth market of Business Service Management, is aiming to boost Group revenues much more dramatically than the market average to between EUR 32 million and EUR 33 million. Due to the positive operating business performance during the first half of 2007 and the forecasts mentioned, the target of boosting the EBITDA of the USU Group in the current year to over EUR 4 million has been confirmed in this respect.

Business service management specialist, USU Software AG (ISIN DE000A0BVU28), today published its business figures for the first six months of fiscal 2007. According to the figures, USU Software AG boosted Group revenues by 31.0% to EUR 14,993 thousand (previous year: EUR 11,442 thousand). This was mainly due to the ongoing and strong product business, to which LeuTek (acquired in the previous year) also contributed. Along with the successful operating business performance, it was primarily the positive tax effects that led to an increase in the Group net profit in the first half of 2007 to EUR 2,710 thousand (previous year: EUR 658 thousand) or EUR 0.26 per share (previous year: EUR 0.07). The tax income contained therein of EUR 1,933 thousand (previous year: EUR -4 thousand) is mainly due to the recognition of deferred tax assets from the tax loss carryforwards of USU Software AG. The final purchase price allocation from the LeuTek takeover also resulted in amortization of intangible assets of EUR 497 thousand (previous year: EUR 102 thousand) in the first half of 2007. Despite this additional amortization, USU Software AG lifted Group earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) to EUR 599 thousand (previous year: EUR 457 thousand) in the first half of 2007.
Without taking the effects mentioned into account, USU Software AG generated an increase in Group operating earnings before interest, taxes and depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) compared with the previous year of 78.5% to EUR 1,294 thousand (previous year: EUR 724 thousand) due to substantial revenues growth in the period under review with comparatively low cost expansion.
The liquidity of USU Software AG amounted to EUR 9.5 million in the entire Group as of the balance sheet date of June 30, 2007 following EUR 8.4 million as of December 31, 2006. As a result of the generated net profit, equity rose at the end of Q2 2007 to EUR 45,304 thousand (December 31, 2006: EUR 42,635 thousand). The equity ratio totaled 84.7% as of June 30, 2007 (December 31, 2006: 80.7%).
At the end of H1 2007, USU Software AG and its subsidiaries employed a total of 238 (previous year: 207) staff. This represents a 15.0% increase on the previous year´s figure.
The Management Board confirms the targets for full-year 2007 and, following the strategic realignment on the growth market of Business Service Management, is aiming to boost Group revenues much more dramatically than the market average to between EUR 32 million and EUR 33 million. The second half of the year, which experience shows is stronger, is set to bring a significant rise in the revenues of the product business which is likely to benefit from a further increase in licensing and maintenance income. This expectation is supported by client orders in July and August that have already been fixed contractually, the ongoing contract negotiations with potential clients and the current sales forecast. Another positive sign of a successful H2 is the number of orders on hand Group-wide which were up by 32.4% on the previous year's level on June 30, 2007 at EUR 10,342 thousand (previous year: EUR 7,814 thousand). Due to the positive operating business performance during the first half of 2007 and the forecasts mentioned, the target of boosting the EBITDA of the USU Group in the current year to over EUR 4 million has been confirmed in this respect.
