Phase Deal No. 30/2019 signed in North America, all targets in 2019 achieved, very strong outlook for 2020

Guidance 2020: 260-300 Million Euro revenue and 52-60 Million Euro operating EBITDA

No Capital Increase planned in 2020

Stuttgart, Germany, 18 December 2019. RIB Software SE, the world's leading provider of iTWO 4.0 Cloud Enterprise Platform Technology will continue its target to be one of the fasted growing (30%-60%) and profitable (20%-30% EBITDA margin) companies in the new ConstructTech and PropTech sector in 2020. RIB has increased and outperformed its first guidance in 2018 and 2019 and will work hard to continue its track record in 2020. The actual midterm growth plan (30-60%) does not include any capital increase and can be executed based on the actual financial rating.

The revenue growth is mainly driven by ARR software revenue, growing USER numbers on our MTWO Cloud Platform and based on our iTWO 4.0 Cloud Technology. We are not consolidating any revenue out of Autodesk license reselling according to IFRS 15.B34 ff. from our sales organizations in USA and Australia in our 2020 projection. If these revenue numbers, which are reported in the local P&L in Australia and USA, would be added to the consolidated revenue, the revenue of RIB would be much higher. All definitions about revenue growth, EBITDA margins and all-important targets of our midterm plan can be found on our Website under Investor Relations.

Our target is to win 2 Million USERS for our Cloud Platform Technology (iMTWO) and our Data business (xYTWO) in the midterm and to lead the digital transformation in the global ConstructTech and PropTech sector and to support the development of cities and infrastructure for the 21^st century.
