A strong focus on building strategic partnerships, most recently with State Street, a highly loyal client base, and not least a deeply committed team make me confident that we are well positioned for closing the year on a strong note."

One of the new orders in APAC was recognized in Q3 2020, another is expected to be recognized in Q4 2020, and the third order has milestone-based recognition, with the milestones expected to be satisfied over the next two years.

In North America, two SimCorp Dimension orders were recognized in Q3 2020, one from an order signed in Q1 2020 and one from the order signed in Q3 2020.

Of the three clients signed in APAC in Q3 2020, one is a fund management company and two are central banks, one being the Central Bank of Sri Lanka. All three are front-to-back SimCorp Dimension agreements, of which one is a cloud-based deployment. The client in North America signed in Q3 2020 is a state pension fund, who will use SimCorp Dimension for a front, middle and back office cloud-based deployment, including two of our recent, strategic offerings, SimCorp BI and SimCorp Datacare.

As mentioned above revenue was recognized in Q3 2020 on an order signed in North America in Q1 2020. The client, Mawer Investment Management Ltd., will use SimCorp Dimension as its multi- asset, front-to-back, investment management platform. The agreement is one in a series of recent North American front-to-back deals, which see buy-side firms choosing SimCorp's front office.

Two existing SimCorp Dimension clients in NA have auto-renewed for two years with effective dates in January 2021. The renewals have been included in order intake and in the order book in Q3 2020, while revenue recognition will take place in Q1 2021. One SimCorp Coric client in EMEA renewed its contracts in Q3 2020.

In Q3 2020, there was one conversion from perpetual to subscription-based license compared with one conversion in Q3 2019. The conversion in Q3 2020 increased order intake by EUR 4.5m, while revenue recognition is deferred and will predominantly be recognized in December 2020, with the remaining part being recognized in 2023 and 2024. In Q3 2019, the revenue recognition from the conversion was EUR 4.7m.

Total order intake in Q3 2020 was EUR 21.7m compared with EUR 19.3m in the same period last year. Datacare order intake accounted for EUR 2.2m in Q3 2020.

Company Announcement

SimCorp reports revenue of EUR 310m and EBIT margin of 21% for the first nine months of 2020

Income recognized from initial and additional licenses totaled EUR 14.8m in Q3 2020, EUR 15.8m lower than in Q3 2019, as Q3 2019 included both the revenue recognition of a large order in Asia where the contract was signed in 2018, and the revenue recognition of a conversion from perpetual to subscription-based license as mentioned above.

In 9M 2020, order intake was EUR 58.5m compared with EUR 63.1m in the same period last year.

A total of seven new subscription-based SimCorp Dimension license contracts and three new stand- alone SimCorp Coric license contracts were signed during the first nine months of the year. This is the same number of new SimCorp Dimension and SimCorp Coric clients as in 9M 2019. Two of the new SimCorp Dimension agreements in 9M 2020 included Datacare.

In 9M 2020, three SimCorp Dimension and three SimCorp Coric agreements were renewed, compared with twelve SimCorp Coric agreements in 9M 2019. The renewal of SimCorp Italiana's subscription -based agreements amounted to EUR 5.7m in 9M 2020 compared with EUR 5.0m in same period last year.

On September 30, 2020, the order book amounted to EUR 43.8m, an increase of EUR 8.8m compared with same date last year. Compared with June 30, 2020, the order book had increased by EUR 4.7m.

  • Order intake and order book include initial licenses to new clients as well as additional licenses to existing clients. The order book is the total license value of signed license agreements, including Client-Driven Development (CDD) orders, that has not yet been recognized in income. SimCorp Gain order intake and order book have been included since the acquisition. From 2020, the order book includes Subscription Services such as Datacare and SFTR, and accordingly Q4 2019 was adjusted by Subscription Services of EUR 1.8m.

In Q3 2020, SimCorp had initial license sales of EUR 8.5m, EUR 5.2m lower than Q3 2019, mainly due to a very strong Q3 2019, and partly due to revenue recognition for two initial license deals being deferred as certain conditions need to be fulfilled before the license fee can be recognized.

Company Announcement

SimCorp reports revenue of EUR 310m and EBIT margin of 21% for the first nine months of 2020

Revenue recognized from initial and additional license sales totaled EUR 14.8m, EUR 15.8m less than the strong Q3 2019.

In 9M 2020, revenue recognized from initial and additional license sales was EUR 49.1m, a decrease of EUR 24.5m, or 33.3% compared with the strong 9M 2019. Currency fluctuations impacted total license fee negatively by EUR 0.5m. Measured in local currencies, the decrease was 32.6%. The underlying organic revenue change in total license fee was a decline of 34.7% in 9M 2020, reflecting a 2.1%-points positive impact from the acquisition of AIM Software.

ular license sales accounted for 54% (9M 2019: around 57%) of total additional license sales.

Company Announcement

In 9M 2020, software updates and support revenue increased by 5.8% from EUR 124.9m for the same period last year to EUR 132.1m.

Consequently, organic growth for 9M in software updates and support revenue was 4.4%.

Fees from professional services amounted to EUR 36.0m in Q3 2020 compared with EUR 36.1m in Q3 2019, a decrease of 0.3% in reported currency.

Currency fluctuations impacted the professional services revenue negatively by 0.2%- points, while the acquisition of AIM Software impacted the professional services revenue positively by 2.3%-points.

In 9M 2020, hosting, other fees, and selling of other third-party products amounted to EUR 17.6m compared with EUR 20.4m in 9M 2019.

Operating costs

In early March, several cost reduction measures were taken, including travel restrictions, hiring freeze on non-critical positions, and postponement of planned salary increases from January 1 to July 1, 2020. Furthermore, the annual International User Committee Meeting (IUCM) has been postponed from September 2020 to April 2021. The effect of these measures was visible in both Q3 and 9M 2020.

On the other hand, SimCorp remains committed to continue investing in its products, people, and strategic priorities, including cloud lift and other research and development priorities, to realize its long-term growth ambitions. As a consequence, research and development costs increased organically by 7.3% in 9M 2020, while all other cost lines declined organically.

SimCorp's total operating costs (including depreciation and amortization) were EUR 78.1m in Q3 2020 compared with EUR 82.5m in Q3 2019, a decrease of 5.3% in reported currency. Currency fluctuations reduced the total operating costs by 1.0%.

Profit and comprehensive income

Financial items for Q3 2020 comprised a net expense of EUR 3.4m compared with a net income of EUR 2.4m in the same period last year. Financial income and expenses were primarily related to foreign exchange adjustments.

In Q3 2020, the Group realized a pre-tax profit of EUR 18.9m, against EUR 37.6m in Q3 2019, and a net profit of EUR 14.1m compared with EUR 29.3m in the same quarter last year.

Exchange rate adjustments on translation of foreign assets and liabilities amounted to a net expense of EUR 0.9m in Q3 2020, which is included in other comprehensive income. Total comprehensive income amounted to EUR 13.2m against EUR 30.5m in Q3 2019.

Financial items for 9M 2020 comprised a net expense of EUR 4.7m compared with a net income of EUR 1.9m in same period last year. The Group posted pre-tax profit of EUR 61.2m against pre-tax profit of EUR 95.7m in 9M 2019.

The estimated tax charge of EUR 15.5m is equivalent to a tax rate of 25.4% compared with the estimated tax of EUR 23.2m and a tax rate of 24.2% in 9M 2019. Thus, the Group's net profit for 9M 2020 amounted to EUR 45.7m against a profit of EUR 72.6m for the same period last year.

After exchange rate adjustments on translation of foreign assets and liabilities, a net expense of EUR 2.5m, the total comprehensive income amounted to EUR 43.2m against EUR 73.7m in 9M 2019.

Balance sheet

SimCorp's total assets were EUR 427.8m at September 30, 2020 compared with EUR 405.1m a year earlier, an increase of EUR 22.7m. The increase is primarily related to changes in contract assets of EUR 17.1m.

Cash holdings amounted to EUR 32.6m compared with EUR 26.9m a year earlier. The net cash position was also EUR 32.6m at the end of September 2020 compared with EUR 6.9m at the end of September 2019.

Receivables amounted to EUR 80.0m on September 30, 2020, representing an increase of EUR 3.7m compared with September 30, 2019, but EUR 1.8m lower than on December 31, 2019.

Compared with December 31, 2019 contract assets decreased by EUR 1.1m from EUR 151.8m to EUR 150.6m. New and additional subscription-based licenses added EUR 26.6m to contract assets, finance income recognized added EUR 1.7m, while invoiced subscription-based license fee reduced the balance by EUR 29.3m, and foreign exchange adjustments and expected loss provisions reduced the balance by EUR 0.2m.

The Group's total non-current assets were EUR 154.7m compared with EUR 163.5m on December 31, 2019 and EUR 159.6m on September 30, 2019.

Goodwill was EUR 61.3m on September 30, 2020 compared with EUR 61.2m on December 31, 2019 and EUR 60.7m at the end of September 2019. A final purchase price adjustment of EUR 0.4m to liabilities was made in relation to the acquisition of AIM Software, increasing the goodwill. No impairment to goodwill was made in 9M 2020.

The carrying amount of acquired software was EUR 11.9m compared with EUR 13.3m at the end of 2019 and the value of client relationships was EUR 23.4m compared with EUR 25.0m at the end of 2019. The decreases were due to amortization.

The carrying amount of leasehold assets was EUR 45.4m compared with EUR 51.6m at the end of 2019 and EUR 48.3m at the end September 2019. The decreases were due to amortization.

Other property, plant, and equipment amounted to EUR 2.9m, compared with EUR 2.6m at the end of 2019 and EUR 2.2m at the end September 2019.

Other financial assets of EUR 0.4m includes an investment in Alkymi.

Investments

The fair values of the identifiable assets and liabilities at the date of acquisition in 2019 were provisionally estimated and disclosed in Q3 2019.

Strategy update

In 2019, we presented our new strategy, outlining how we are entering a new phase in the evolution of SimCorp, through which we are transforming SimCorp to become a software-enabled service company. With our cloud transformation as the underlying key enabler, we defined the three strategic imperatives that are forming our overall strategic journey:

  1. Customer experience leadership: We will take responsibility for solving clients' key busi- ness challenges and improving their competitiveness, not just provide them with tools and technology
  2. Everything as a service: We will make it easy, flexible, and cost effective for clients to consume our technology solutions
  3. Ecosystem enabled innovation: We will strengthen our capacity and ability to innovate by leveraging the innovation power and scale of a broad-based external ecosystem

During 2020, we have made solid progress on the execution of our three strategic imperatives, also gaining a deeper and broader understanding of the key steps we need to take on our journey towards becoming a software-enabled service company. We see early signs that our new client engagement model is generating more strategic dialogues with our key client stakeholders.

Customer experience leadership

Being responsive to our clients' needs and delivering on our commitments have always been central to how we conduct our business. We believe that elevating and working systematically with customer experience has the potential to become a real competitive differentiator and source of significant value creation to SimCorp. Already, we have transformed our go-to-market and engagement model, supported by an organizational setup based on client lifecycle needs and with clear accountabilities for driving client success.

Complexity in our business is increasing, which places additional demand on our ability to scale profitably, and results in an ever growing need to industrialize our client engagement efforts. To cater for this development, we need to be more sophisticated and systematic in terms of how we use our resources to win new clients and expand and renew our business with existing ones.

Everything as a service

The trend towards clients wanting to buy and consume everything as-a-service is continuing with growing momentum. By executing on our everything-as-a-service imperative, we want to make it easy, flexible, cost-effective and highly valuable for clients to consume our technology solutions. Moreover, we want to leverage our developing service capabilities to capture a significantly larger share of our clients' overall IT spend. Furthermore, we believe there are strong mutually reinforcing synergies to be gained by being able to combine deep application and technology knowledge with service delivery capabilities, both from a commercial and an operational efficiency perspective.

Page 17 of 28

Company Announcement

SimCorp reports revenue of EUR 310m and EBIT margin of 21% for the first nine months of 2020

We have now gained some experience with what it means to operate managed services whereby we take responsibility for delivering an operational output on a continuous basis. This is fundamentally different from the types of discrete or project-based services we are used to delivering in the traditional 'sell and implement' operating model, where the goal is to maximize billable hours, resource utilization, and bill rate. In future, we will have changed to become, at least partially, an operations company with a multi-delivery mode capability.

Ecosystem enabled innovation

In the past year, we have seen several examples of how our industry is becoming gradually more ecosystem-driven. Companies are forming partnerships and alliances at an increasing pace and in- tensity, with the aim of amplifying their value propositions in ways they would not have been able to on their own.

Ultimately, we want to secure the long-term sustainability of our business. We believe this will require that we transform into a platform business offering buy side firms end-to-end digitalization of their investment life cycle needs. This implies building out an ecosystem of connected partners with complementary capabilities who leverage the SimCorp platform as a key gateway to the market.

We plan to accelerate the development of commercial partnerships with third-party solution provid- ers, as partnerships in general constitute an underutilized lever to innovate and scale our business. The creation of a rich partner ecosystem will add to SimCorp's net capacity to deliver innovation to its clients, thereby increasing stickiness and growing our share of clients' wallets.

In addition, we will continue to build alliances with various capital markets infrastructure providers, such as custodians, to strengthen our platform value proposition and access market segments we do not want to or are not able to reach as effectively directly.

Must-win battles

Our must-win battles have evolved to the following five strategic focus areas:

  • Cloud offer
  • Front office
  • Alternative investments
  • Coric Engage
  • Datacare

Board and Committee matters

The Board has approved that the scope of SimCorp's Audit Committee has been extended to also cover matters related to the categories of principal risk to which SimCorp may be exposed. Conse- quently, the Audit Committee has been renamed Audit and Risk Committee and its Terms of Reference have been updated accordingly and can be found on the company website.

Company Announcement

SimCorp reports revenue of EUR 310m and EBIT margin of 21% for the first nine months of 2020

Outlook for the financial year 2020*

SimCorp generated a financial result during the first nine months of 2020 in line with SimCorp's expectations as per Q2 2020 guidance. The 9M 2020 intake of orders was EUR 58.5m compared with EUR 61.3m 9M 2019. SimCorp's intake of license contract orders and revenue recognition varies considerably from one period to the next.

SimCorp enters Q4 2020 with signed revenue of EUR 399m of the projected revenue for 2020, which is at same level as at the same time in 2019. So far in Q4, two new SimCorp Dimension contracts and one new SimCorp Coric contract have been signed.

SimCorp continues to experience a satisfactory, geographically diversified demand for its products and services, but the future outlook remains more uncertain than normal, as it is still difficult to predict the length and impact of lock-downs and restrictions following Covid-19, and how this might impact client behavior.

SimCorp maintains its expectations for revenue growth and EBIT margin measured in local currencies for 2020 as announced in its Q2 2020 interim report and company announcement dated October 12, 2020.

Revenue growth measured in local currencies is expected to be between -5% and 5%, and the expectation for EBIT margin measured in local currencies is between 22.0% and 27.0%.

Approximately 1.5%-points (previously 2%-point) of the expected revenue growth above is related to the acquisition of AIM Software, and the acquisition is expected to impact the EBIT margin negatively by approximately 1%-point, implying an expected organic revenue growth of between -6.5% and 3.5% (previously between -7% and 3%) and an EBIT margin of between 23.0% to 28.0%.

Based on the exchange rates prevailing at October 31, 2020, SimCorp estimates reported revenue to be negatively impacted from currency fluctuations by around 1.0%. The impact from currency fluctuations on reported EBIT margin is expected to be negative by around 0.2%-points. In the previous reporting (Q2 2020), the currency impact on reported revenue was expected to be negative by around 1.3%, and EBIT margin was expected to be negative by around 0.4% points.

  • This announcement contains certain forward-looking statements and expectations in respect of the 2020 fi- nancial 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 state- ments 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 is expected to 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 license agreements will determine the impact on the order book and on license income for any specific financial reporting period. 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 distri- bution of this document, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Other information

Significant risk and uncertainty factors

SimCorp operates in a dynamic and complex business environment where performance relies heavily on the ongoing achievement of a number of success criteria. Pages 26-28 of SimCorp's Annual Report 2019 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 pertains to the current situation.

In addition to the above, it has become evident that the Covid-19 pandemic, which has locked down most countries, like terror and war, poses a significant risk and uncertainty factor for SimCorp that has strategic, operational, as well as financial implications. Securing SimCorp employees' health and safety and ensuring that all processes related to SimCorp's products, sales, and services are operating as close as possible to normal during this period is a key priority for SimCorp. Due to the uncertainty of the situation, there is a risk that client decisions relating to sales processes will be postponed or delayed, and that implementation projects at our clients will be delayed or prolonged. Structured sales reviews, the ability to do remote demonstrations and implementations, as well as our standard platform initiative are in place to mitigate the risk of discontinuity in the daily operation of the business.

Shareholder information

Restricted stock units

In Q3 2020, 812 restricted stock units were granted to two employees related to sign-on incentives. The restricted stock units will vest after three years subject to continued employment.

In Q3 2020, 1,433 restricted stock units vested and were transferred to two employees.

359,454 restricted stock units are outstanding on September 30, 2020. The restricted stock units will be transferred in whole or in part between 2020 and 2024 to program participants still employed when the restricted stock units vest, some subject to performance conditions.

As part of the executive service agreement entered into with Michael Rosenvold, CFO, restricted stock units with a total market value of DKK 5m were granted the CFO on the condition that he made an investment in SimCorp shares with a total market value of DKK 2.5m and that the restricted stock units would vest 60% after three years' service, 20% after four years' service and the remaining 20% after 5 years' service. The allotment of the 60% restricted stock units equal to 7,173 shares was made with an original vesting date of 1 October 2020. The Board of Directors has decided to defer the vesting date to 12 November 2020, to enable Michael Rosenvold to sell shares after the release of the 9M 2020 financial results to cover his personal income tax liability.

352,281 restricted stock units are outstanding after the transfer on November 12, 2020.

Signatures

The Board of Directors and the Executive Management Board have today considered and adopted the interim report for the period January 1 - September 30, 2020.

The interim report, which is unaudited and has not been reviewed by the Company's auditors is presented in accordance with IAS 34 "Interim financial reporting" as adopted by the EU and Danish disclosure requirements for interim reports for listed companies.

In our opinion, the interim financial statements give a true and fair view of the Group's assets, liabilities and financial position as of September 30, 2020 and of the profit of the Group's operations and cash flow for the period January 1 - September 30, 2020.

Besides what has been disclosed in the interim report, there are no significant changes to the Group's risks and uncertainties, as disclosed in the Annual Report 2019.

Furthermore, in our opinion the management's report gives a true and fair view of developments in the activities and financial position of the Group, the results for the period and of the Group's financial position in general, and outlines the significant risk and uncertainty factors that may affect the Group.

Company Announcement

SimCorp reports revenue of EUR 310m and EBIT margin of 21% for the first nine months of 2020

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 applied are consistent with those of the Annual Report 2019 except for the changes described below. See the Annual Report 2019 for a comprehensive description of the accounting policies applied.

Change in accounting policies

Effective 1 January 2020, a number of new accounting standards and interpretations have been implemented which do not have any monetary effect on the SimCorp Group's result, assets, liabilities or equity.

Judgments and estimates

The preparation of interim reports requires management to make accounting judgments and estimates that affect the use of accounting policies and recognized assets, liabilities, income and ex- penses. 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 2019.

Segment information

In 2020, the business activities and internal reporting for SimCorp Coric and SimCorp Gain have been incorporated within the Geographical Sales organization and are therefore no longer reported separately. Furthermore, the Market Units UK, Northern Europe and Middle East, Central Europe and Southern Europe have been merged to EMEA. The comparative information has been restated accordingly. Furthermore, amortization and allocations of assets resulting from purchase price allocation has been included under unallocated as these items are not part of internal reporting for the market units.
