annual report/Provisional figures for fiscal 2009
25.02.2010
Möglingen, February 25, 2010 - In fiscal 2009, USU Software AG (ISIN 
DE000A0BVU28) fully attained the targets announced by the company 
despite the global recession. Whilst the overall software and IT 
services market showed significant declines in market volume both in 
Germany and throughout Europe, according to its provisional figures, 
the company increased its Group-wide sales slightly by 0.2% 
year-on-year to EUR 34.05 million (2008: EUR 33.98 million). The 
company enjoyed tangible success in its international business, which
improved by 24.4% year-on-year to EUR 2.85 million in 2009 (2008: EUR
2.29 million).
At EUR 2.55 million (2008: EUR 2.29 million), EBITDA was up 15.8% on 
the comparative figure for the previous year. As expected, USU 
Software AG thus generated an increase in operating earnings well in 
excess of sales growth despite stepping up its sales abroad and with 
partners as part of its internationalization strategy and making 
targeted investments in the ongoing development of Group products. 
The main reason for this was the successful development of 
higher-margin product business, combined with stable cost development
throughout the Group.
According to provisional calculations, the company increased its net 
profit for the year by 19.5% to EUR 1.55 million (2008: EUR 1.29 
million). Accordingly, USU Software AG's earnings per share improved 
to EUR 0.15 in 2009 (2008: EUR 0.13). On the basis of its provisional
figures, the Management Board of USU Software AG is planning, subject
to the approval of the Supervisory Board, to propose a dividend per 
entitled share, as in the previous year, of EUR 0.15 (2008:  EUR 
0.15) to the ordinary Annual General Meeting of the Company on July 
15, 2010, and thereby to allow the company´s shareholders to share in
the Company's success as previously announced.
As a result of the positive business developments, the USU Group 
significantly increased its cash flow from operating activities 
year-on-year to EUR 4.04 million (2008: EUR 1.81 million). 
Accordingly, the Group liquidity of USU in the form of cash and cash 
equivalents and securities rose to EUR 10.89 million as at the end of
fiscal 2009 (2008: EUR 9.54 million). With this liquidity situation, 
an improved equity ratio at 85.7% (2008: 84.8%) and no liabilities to
banks, USU Software AG´s financing situation is still extremely 
solid, enabling targeted investments and potential company 
acquisitions now and in the future.
For the current fiscal year, assuming a sustained economic recovery, 
the Management Board of USU Software AG expects sales growth for the 
Group as a whole to exceed the average rates of the German and 
European IT markets. The increase in EBITDA is again likely to 
outstrip sales growth. At the same time, the company will invest 
specifically in further increasing the internationalism of the USU 
Group and in key product innovations in order to increase sales and 
earnings further in the medium to long term. On the basis of this 
forecast, the Board of Management plans to continue its 
pro-shareholder dividend policy of recent years in 2010 and in 
future.
The Management Board of USU Software AG will publish the final 
audited financial figures for fiscal 2009 on March 25, 2010.
