- Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) for the last twelve months was EUR 294.4m, an increase of 11.9% when compared with the period Q3 2020-Q2 2021. ARR for the last twelve months was equivalent to 59.1% of reported revenue for the last twelve months compared with 55.4% for the period Q3 2020 to Q2 2021 equivalent.
- Revenue was EUR 230.7m, an increase of 0.9% compared with H1 2021.
- An operating model restructuring program was initiated in H1 2022 to ensure that SimCorp has the right structure and people as it transforms to a SaaS company. One-off consultancy and redundant costs of EUR 5.7m related to the program were incurred in H1 2022.

- EBIT was EUR 21.7m (EUR 53.9m in H1 2021) and the EBIT margin was 9.4% (23.6% in H1 2021). The lower EBIT and EBIT margin were primarily due to lower license revenue, exceptional and one-off costs incurred, and investments in the future, including investments in new SaaS operations and solutions.

- Order intake was EUR 43.0m (EUR 42.8m in H1 2021).

- Free cash flow was EUR 30.2m compared with EUR 55.9m in H1 2021, due to lower profit and timing of payments.

- SimCorp maintains its expectations for 2022 as announced in its Annual Report 2021, i.e. the expectations for 2022 are to grow revenue in local currencies by between 7% and 12%, and to grow Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) in local currencies by between 10% and 15%, and to generate an EBIT margin measured in local currencies of between 23.0% and 26.0%, excluding expected exceptional costs in 2022 of EUR 3-5m in relation to supporting our Ukrainian employees and their families, and excluding expected one-off costs of EUR 8-10m related to the operating model restructuring programme.
SimCorp CEO, Christian Kromann, comments: "Whilst we acknowledge a lack of new license deals in Q2 due to client delays, we continue to see good traction and momentum in our strategy, with Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) increasing by 11.9%, good progress on our new operating model implementation, good progress on our move to a three tier architecture, first clients live on Azure, strong client interest in our SaaS offerings, and a solid pipeline in place. Across all markets, we see client activity has mostly returned to pre-covid levels, despite the current geopolitical and macroeconomic turbulence and the timing of some expected deals shifting from H1 to H2.
I would be remiss if I failed to mention the significant contribution of our more than 240 Ukrainian colleagues during the first half of the year. I thank them for their incredible resilience and dedication, despite the terrible hardships they continue to endure. As the war drags on, we continue to hope for a resolution, and our thoughts remain with our colleagues and the Ukrainian people."
