Total Revenue

Software AG's total revenue for the third quarter of fiscal 2016 was
EUR198.3 million (2015: EUR215.9 million). Third-quarter maintenance
revenue accounted for EUR104.0 million (2015: EUR101.0 mn.), representing a
4 percent rise compared to the previous year's figure.

Free Cash Flow continued to perform well in the third quarter, resulting in
at least 10 percent growth for the first nine months of the year and a
record high in the history of Software AG.

2016 Outlook

Based on current business development and projections for the fourth
quarter, Software AG confirms its outlook, which was raised after the first
half of 2016. An operating profit margin (EBITA, Non-IFRS) between 30.5 and
31.5 percent is expected for fiscal 2016. The full-year forecast for
product revenue in the Digital Business Platform (DBP) business line
remains unchanged with an anticipated currency-adjusted increase between 5
and 10 percent. Based on expected contract signings in the Adabas & Natural
line, Software AG foresees a decline in product revenue between 2 and 6
percent at constant currency and year-on-year in its database business.
