million (previous year: EUR 110.1 million). Thus, the share of revenues
abroad rose to 60.2%. In addition to the USA, the growth regions include
markets in Asia, especially Japan, and Latin America. Germany, too,
continued to develop positively: With a plus of 14.6%, revenues increased
to EUR 87.0 million (previous year: EUR 75.9 million).

million (previous year: EUR 87.0 million). It was possible to increase
revenues from software service contracts to EUR 101.0 million, a rise of

"The achieved results of operations prove the sustainable success of the
Nemetschek Group," summarizes Patrik Heider, Spokesman of the Executive
Board and CFOO of the Nemetschek Group, regarding the 2014 fiscal year. "We
exceeded our targets in terms of revenue and earnings, attained record
figures and made important moves towards a successful future. The ongoing
expansion of our solution portfolio, our innovative strength, consistent
internationalization and the emphasis on growth - organic and as a result
of acquisitions - are key drivers of this successful development. In
keeping with our newly defined acquisition strategy, with the acquisition
of Bluebeam we have thus invested in the megatrend of collaboration for the
improved cooperation between all those involved in the building process. At
the same time, the acquisition allows us to considerably extend our
presence in the important US market."

significant increase in revenues, which grew by 17.1% to EUR 175.1 million
