"Nemetschek was very successful in the 2005 fiscal year, and in the first quarter we have again made improvements on the previous year. We want to let our shareholders benefit from this positive development, on the one hand through a reliable dividend yield, and on the other through the positive share price development. In the 2005 fiscal year, the Nemetschek share price rose by 41 %, and has increased by 130 % since the start of 2005," stated Gerhard Weiß, chairman of the board of Nemetschek AG. Tax-free payout for small shareholders As in the previous year, the Nemetschek AG dividend will be paid out from the tax deposit account in accordance with § 27 of the Corporation Tax Act. This usually means tax-free collection for shareholders residing in Germany who have a stake of less than 1% in Nemetschek AG. Share buy-back program on the agenda The managing board and supervisory board want to see the AGM approve a share buy-back for up to 10 % of the current capital stock. This corresponds to up to 962,000 of own shares. The deadline is September 30, 2007. Gerhard Weiß, chairman of the managing board said, "This is an anticipatory decision, which we can use for the acquisition of companies or interests and the Nemetschek share option plan." A successful 2005 In 2005, Nemetschek was again able to continue its positive development for sales and earnings. Sales were at 98.8 million euros (previous year: 96.6 million euros, +2.2 %), and the operating profit rose to 13.1 million euros (previous year before goodwill amortization: 11.0 million euros). The net income (consolidated shares) improved by 34.7 % to 11.7 million euros (previous year before goodwill amortization: 8.7 million euros). The earnings per share were 1.21 euros (previous year before goodwill amortization: 0.90 euros).

Good start to the new year: Operating profit up by more than 50 % in the first quarter The first three months of the current fiscal year were characterized by higher organic growth in all business units. Sales were 23.8 million euros, 7.3 % above the previous year's value (22.2 million euros). Foreign sales rose in the first quarter to 13.6 million euros (corresponds to 57.5 % of the total sales, previous year: 11.6 million euros) and saw a significant increase, as in the previous year. Business in Germany showed positive trends for the first time following years of economic decline. The operating profit (EBIT) rose by 50.6 % to 3.0 million euros (previous year: 2.0 million euros). The earnings per share rose to 0.24 euros (previous year: 0.15 euros). The net income (consolidated shares) increased considerably to 2.3 million euros (previous year: 1.5 million euros). Outlook For 2006 as a whole, the managing board expects continued sales growth in international business. The growth markets are primarily western and eastern Europe and the United States. The development in Germany for existing business will probably stabilize and remain at the previous year's level. Overall, the managing board will continue with the growth-oriented course for 2006 as a whole, and expects a further increase in sales and a significant increase in the operating profit compared to the previous year.
