Very successful fiscal year 2006 and valuable acquisition of Graphisoft SE
The last fiscal year was exceptionally successful for the group. Sales increased to 107.5 million euros (previous year: 98.8 million euros, +8.8%). Earnings increased significantly for the fourth time in a row. The consolidated net income for the year improved by 18.1% to 14.4 million euros (previous year: 12.2 million euros). The earnings per share amounted to 1.41 euros (previous year: 1.21 euros). The operating profit (EBIT) rose by 36.1% to 17.8 million euros (previous year: 13.1 million euros), the EBITDA increased by 27.2% to 20.7 million euros (previous year: 16.2 million euros). In addition, Nemetschek successfully acquired a majority interest in the Hungarian company Graphisoft SE (Budapest) and thus again significantly improved the company's market position in the AEC (Architecture, Engineering, Construction) sector.

The share: up by more than 57 percent in 2006
The year 2006 saw a huge price increase for Nemetschek stock. The share price increased by 57 percent and thus developed considerably better than all indices. In comparison: the SDAX increased by 31 percent in 2006, the technology stocks in the TecDAX achieved an increase of 25 percent. Since the announcement of the Graphisoft acquisition on December 21, 2006, the share price rose by more than 25 percent. This is equivalent to an increase in the company value of more than 45 million euros. The group currently has a market capitalization of more than 274 million euros.

Outlook: Optimism for the current fiscal year
The managing board is also optimistic for the current fiscal year. Homolka: "We expect sales revenues considerably in excess of 140 million euros with an EBITDA margin of more than 20 percent". In the first quarter of 2007 the group already managed to increase sales by 45 percent to 34.4 million euros (previous year: 23.8 million euros) and the EBITDA by 108 percent to 7.5 million euros.
