ATOSS Software AG: New record figures confirm growth continues for an eleventh year in succession - Seite 2

services following the sale of licenses - ATOSS saw turnover increase by 12
percent to EUR 9.9 million. Hardware sales amounted to EUR 3.5 million
(previous year: EUR 3.5 million), while other miscellaneous sales came in
at EUR 1.7 million, up by EUR 0.5 million over the year before.

Despite continuous investment totaling EUR 9.8 million (previous year: EUR
8.4 million) in R&D and the sales organization, operating profits were well
above the previous year's figure. With positive financial earnings of EUR
0.2 million, earnings before taxes (EBT) climbed 18 percent to EUR 10.0
million while net income rose by 20 percent to EUR 6.9 million. Earnings
per share in the first nine months amounted to EUR 1.73, compared with EUR
1.44 in the year before. The return on sales at 27 percent measured against
EBIT was again somewhat above last year's high level.

In the first nine months ATOSS generated EUR 12.2 million (previous year:
EUR 10.3 million) in cash flow and reported consolidated liquidity as of
30.09.2016 amounting to EUR 25.2 million (previous year: EUR 27.0 million).
Even after the dividend distribution of EUR 11.1 million (regular dividend
of EUR 0.95 / special dividend of EUR 1.85 per share) paid on April 27,
2016, ATOSS continues to have very respectable financial resources at its
disposal which, accompanied by strong equity, continue to safeguard the
company's future prospects.

The sustained stability and profitability - coupled with an extremely
positive market outlook - offer clear proof that the growth potential of
ATOSS is still far from being exhausted. In view of the orders on hand for
software licenses and Cloud solutions valued at EUR 6.0 million and EUR 3.9
million respectively, the outlook for the last quarter of 2016 and beyond
is extremely promising. The Management Board is therefore satisfied that
ATOSS will close the year with new record figures for the eleventh time in
succession.
