Munich, April 30, 2015 - The Nemetschek Group (ISIN 0006452907) has made a
dynamic start in the 2015 financial year and continues on its growth course
of the previous year. Revenue and operating result both rose considerably
vis-à-vis the previous year's quarter. Parallel to this, investments
continued to be made in advancing international market presence, in further
developing software solutions and in addressing new customer segments.

Profitable growth course
As a whole, in the first three months of 2015, Group revenue increased by
30.5% to EUR 66.6 million (previous year period: EUR 51.0 million). The
Nemetschek Group thus achieved a record high for the first three months of
a financial year. Adjusted for currency fluctuations, growth was some 25%.
Bluebeam Software, Inc., acquired as of October 31, 2014, contributed EUR
10.0 million to revenue growth. Purely organic growth thus remained at a
high 10.9%.

Likewise, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization
(EBITDA) rose considerably by 31.9% to EUR 17.4 million (previous year's
period: EUR 13.2 million). The EBITDA margin consequently improved in the
period comparison from 25.8% to 26.1%.

"We got the year off to an outstanding start, smoothly continuing the
strong development of the last quarter of the previous year. The organic
portfolio and our new brand Bluebeam confirm our excellent position on the
AEC market. As a result, we have a very good basis for future growth," says
Patrik Heider, Spokesman and CFOO of the Nemetschek Group.

In the first three months of 2015, net income for the year (Group shares)
rose by 11.7% to EUR 8.4 million (previous year's period: EUR 7.5 million).
