Bericht Exact Reports Increased EBITDA Margin and Cash Flow for FY 2009 Early preparation for global economic downturn and diligent cost management mitigates impact on profitability Delft, February 11, 2010 – Exact Holding N.V. (Exact) announces its results for FY 2009. Financial highlights • The global economic crisis impacted revenue across all regions negatively, resulting in a decline of total revenue by 10.9% to € 232.5 million (FY 2008: € 261.0 million). This was caused by a decline in license and service revenue, which was partly offset by an increase in maintenance revenue. • Total operating costs have been reduced by € 24.8 million to € 186.8 million (FY 2008: € 211.6 million), representing a decline of 11.7% and mainly driven by a decrease in personnel expenses. • EBITDA margin increased to 23.4% (FY 2008: 22.3%) as a result of compensating some 85% of the revenue decline by early initiation of cost savings. EBITDA amounted to € 54.3 million (FY 2008: € 58.2 million), representing a decline of 6.6%. • Net income amounted to € 33.6 million (FY 2008: € 36.4 million), representing a decrease of 7.7% as a result of a lower operating income. • Despite the negative economic climate the operating cash flow increased by 5.6% to € 49.8 million (FY 2008: € 47.1 million), representing a profit to cash conversion of 147% (FY 2008: 128%). • The net cash position increased to € 48.9 million as per December 31, 2009 (December 31, 2008: € 44.7 million). The balance sheet remains very strong and virtually debt free. • EPS amounted to € 1.47 (FY 2008: € 1.54), representing a decrease of 4.5%. • A final dividend payout of € 0.81 per share will be proposed in addition to the interim dividend of € 0.66 per share paid on August 7, 2009. This amounts to a total dividend for 2009 of € 1.47 per share, which represents a 100% payout of net income in line with dividend policy.
