Interim Report 2012 January - September LETTER TO THE SHAREHOLDERS | RIB SOFTWARE AG 2 LETTER TO THE SHAREHOLDERS Dear Shareholders, With two strategic acquisitions in the third quarter of 2012, we have taken a further step to strengthen our market position in our target markets. The takeover of MC2, a leading software provider in the USA that focuses on the countrys top 1,000 building enterprises, represents a decisive step for RIB and our iTWO BIM 5D software into the US market. The acquisition of the cloud software enterprise CADX Pty Ltd, which markets a new cloud-based collaboration technology and has increased its revenue with cloud business from AUD 1.4m to 4.7m over the past years, now positions RIB in this future market, which is significant for the construction industry. By 2020, we expect a market volume of up to 1% of the global construction volume for cloud-based 5D technology and SaaS solutions. This represents a revenue potential of approximately USD 100bn. Our goal is to become the global market leader in cloud-based 5D technology and SaaS. Based on our iTWO BIM 5D solution and the collaboration platform of CADX Pty Ltd, we will henceforth offer a cloud-based BIM 5D platform for our customers the world over. The main focus is on the 1,000 largest investors and providers in the EU (RIB AG, Stuttgart), the 1,000 key customers in the USA (RIB MC2 US Ltd., Memphis) and top customers in China, the Middle East and Southeast Asia. With two successful strategic acquisitions in the first nine months of the financial year 2012 and four phase II orders for iTWO BIM 5D from internationally renowned business enterprises (successfully completed in the meantime), we are steadily moving towards the goals that we defined in 2011 within the scope of the IPO. Due to the highly successful first nine months of 2012, we have thus already been able to complete four of the six phase II contracts planned for 2012. In
