Financial Figures/Balance Sheet/Earnings

Möglingen, March 6, 2012 - (euro adhoc) - USU Software AG (ISIN
DE000A0BVU28) improved its IFRS consolidated sales by almost 20%
year-on-year to EUR 45.6 million (2010: EUR 38.0 million) according
to preliminary calculations. Thus, USU exceeded its advised sales
target of more than EUR 43.0 million and at the same time generated
the highest sales in the company´s history. The growth in the
international business of the USU Group as a result of the extensive
partner and sales activities in recent years is particularly
encouraging. USU thus generated consolidated sales of EUR 5.4 million
(2010: EUR 3.4 million) outside Germany in fiscal 2011, a
year-on-year increase of 58%. The share of consolidated sales
generated outside Germany therefore rose to nearly 12% in the
reporting year after 9% in 2010.

According to the provisional figures, USU Software AG increased its
EBITDA for the Group as a whole by 45% to EUR 6.7 million (2010: EUR
4.6 million). This also both exceeds the company´s own forecast of at
least EUR 6 million and marks a new earnings record for USU.
Accordingly, the EBITDA margin expanded from 12% in 2010 to almost
15% in the year under review. USU´s EBIT rose by almost 80% as
against the previous year to EUR 4.6 million (2010: EUR 2.6 million).
USU Software AG also increased its EBT for the Group as a whole by
around two thirds year-on-year to EUR 4.5 million (2010: EUR 2.7
million). After taxes, USU generated growth in net income for fiscal
2011 of 51% to EUR 3.5 million (2010: EUR 2.3 million), corresponding
to earnings per share of EUR 0.34 (2010: EUR 0.23).

As the USU Group´s IFRS consolidated earnings were influenced by
various non-recurring effects hampering the comparability of USU´s
earnings power across multiple fiscal years, the company also
calculated its "adjusted consolidated earnings" for information
purposes. This figure represents consolidated earnings after
adjustment for amotization of intangible assets capitalized as a
result of business combinations, results from the capitalization of
tax loss carryforwards, the associated goodwill amortization and
additional acquisition-related extraordinary effects including the
associated tax effects. In the 2011 reporting period, adjusted
consolidated earnings amounted to EUR 5.3 million (2010: EUR 3.9
million), corresponding to earnings per share of EUR 0.50 (2010: EUR
0.39). In future, the company will publish both its IFRS earnings
figures and its non-IFRS, adjusted performance indicators.

As a result of the rise in earnings, the USU Group´s cash flow from
operating activities surged from EUR 2.4 million in the previous year
to EUR 9.4 million in fiscal 2011. Consequently, the USU Group´s
liquidity in the form of cash, bank balances and securities rose to a
total of EUR 17.6 million (2010: EUR 11.1 million). Equity increased
to EUR 49.9 million as against the end of the previous year (2010:
EUR 48.5 million) as a result of the net income for the year. Based
on total assets of EUR 70.1 million (2010: EUR 66.9 million), the
equity ratio was above 70% as of December 31, 2011, as in the
previous year.

The Management Board of USU Software AG is optimistic of continuing
the positive sales and earnings trends of recent years in the current
year of fiscal 2012 as well. One positive indicator of this is USU's
consolidated order backlog, which amounted to EUR 21.5 million as at
December 31, 2011 (2010: EUR 19.1 million).

The Management Board will publish the final, audited figures for
2011, the proposal for the appropriation of earnings for 2011 and
details of planning for 2012 on March 29, 2012.
