4 PREFACE 4 Dear Stockholders, CANCOM has had an eventful half-year, during which we took the momentum generated in and the first quarter to increase our consolidated sales revenues by 36.2 percent during the second quarter, and to improve the long-term profitability of the group by increasing our adjusted EBITDA by 48.6 percent. Our strong position in the growth field of cloud computing has been recognized by Experton Group, which awarded CANCOM the title of Cloud Leader on the basis of its annual Cloud Vendor Benchmark study. We also received this major award in for our strong competitiveness and our attractive portfolio. The analysts also rated us as leading experts for our cloud transformation know-how. In other words, we are the only German provider with an integrated portfolio that enables us to offer clients freedom in choosing their individual path to cloud computing. The award has given a major boost to our operating business. In April CANCOM made a move of great importance for our cloud and shared managed services business by signing a general agreement with HP Enterprise Services for the use of the CANCOM AHP Private Cloud in HP s cloud services portfolio for medium-sized clients. The agreement makes HP rated by market research company Forrester as a global market leader in hosting and cloud services our hosting and distribution partner for the CANCOM AHP Private Cloud platform. The aim is to deliver a turnkey private cloud platform as a cloud service from HP s data centers all around the world. This partnership increases our capacity to bring our own private cloud solution onto the market faster both in Germany and internationally through HP s global supply chain. We also view the fact that HP is using our solution for medium-sized comp We are also making progress with the integration of the companies we have acquired. The recent acquisition of DIDAS Business Services GmbH, based in Langenfeld in the German federal state of North-Rhine-Westphalia, has been formally completed with the signing of the contract of sale in April and payment of the purchase price at the start of July. The company, which has now been renamed CANCOM DIDAS GmbH, will be included in the consolidated financial statements with effect from July 1,. We are optimistic about the second half of the year and the year as a whole, in line with most other IT companies. According to the latest IT sector barometer from BITKOM (the German Association for Information Technology, Telecommunications and New Media), the vast majority of IT companies expect sales revenues for the year as a whole to be higher than in. We would like to express our sincere gratitude to you, our stockholders, for your confidence in us. We at CANCOM are all working hard to ensure the group s continued success. Sincerely yours, Klaus Weinmann CEO

5 We are continuing to grow, and we are therefore optimistic about the year as a whole.

6 CONSOLIDATED INTERIM MANAGEMENT REPORT 6 Consolidated interim management report relating to the consolidated financial statements page 12 et seq. 1. Fundamental information about the Group The CANCOM Group is one of the leading providers of IT infrastructure and IT services in Germany and in Austria. Its integrated range of products and services covers the entire IT added value chain, from analysis and consulting to implementation and services. Legal structure of the CANCOM Group CANCOM SE, based in Munich, Germany, performs the central financial and management role for the equity investments held by the CANCOM Group. Areas of business The IT solutions business segment of the CANCOM Group offers a comprehensive portfolio of products and services relating to IT infrastructure and applications. The range of services offered includes IT strategy consulting, project planning and implementation, systems integration, IT procurement via e-procurement services or as part of a project, as well as professional IT services and support. The cloud solutions business segment comprises the CANCOM Group s cloud and shared managed services business, including sales revenues from cloud hardware allocated to the projects. The segment s activities range from analysis and consulting to delivery, implementation and services. This means it offers clients the necessary orientation and support for their changeover from traditional corporate IT systems to cloud computing. As part of its range of services, the CANCOM Group is able to run parts of, or entire, IT departments for its clients, using scalable cloud and managed services especially shared managed services. Distribution costs allocated to cloud distribution are included in the segment. In addition, the cloud business benefits from synergies with the normal CANCOM distribution system. Focus of activities and sales markets The CANCOM Group is one of the three largest independent integrated IT systems providers in Germany. It offers IT architecture, systems integration and managed services. As a provider of integrated solutions, CANCOM mainly focuses on IT services, in addition to distributing hardware and software in its transaction-based and product-related business. Its comprehensive range of IT services includes design of IT architectures and IT landscapes, IT strategy advice and consulting, design and integration of IT systems, and system operation. The CANCOM Group s client base therefore primarily includes commercial end-users. These range from small and medium-sized companies to large companies, corporate groups and public-sector clients. Explanation of the control system used within the Group To control and monitor the performance of the individual subsidiaries, CANCOM analyses their monthly figures for, among other things, sales revenues, gross profit, operating expenditure and operating profit, and compares these key figures with the original plan as well as the quarterly forecast. For the purpose of management control, the company also regularly uses external indicators such as inflation rates, interest rates, the general economic trend and the performance of the IT sector, including forecasts. Cash management procedures include daily status assessments. Research and development activities Innovation is very important for economic momentum and growth. However, as it is purely a service and trading enterprise, CANCOM does not conduct research on a regular basis. Its development work focuses, for example, on software solutions and applications in IT growth segments such as cloud computing, virtualization, mobile solutions, IT security and managed services. Development activities are very limited in scope and are mainly used for the Group s own purposes. 2. Economic report The performance of the IT market and the economy as a whole The German economy appears to have slowed down in the second quarter of the year compared to the first quarter, but moderate growth in gross domestic product (GDP) is nevertheless expected. The mood in the IT sector also continues to be good. According to the latest IT sector barometer from BITKOM (the German Association for Information Technology, Telecommunications and New Media), the majority of IT companies expect sales revenues to rise in the second half of the year.

7 CONSOLIDATED INTERIM MANAGEMENT REPORT 7 Impact on the CANCOM Group s business performance Employees The second quarter saw a continuation of CANCOM SE s consistent growth, along with an improvement in the profitability of the Group. The sales revenues and profits for the quarter, and for the first half of the year, both exceeded the relevant values for the same periods of. The increase in the Group s sales revenues and profits is driven by the cloud and shared managed services business as well as the good performance of the integrated systems business across the Group.

The employees worked in the following areas (as at June 30): Professional services: Sales and distribution 451 Central services 372 Significant events and investments during the second quarter CANCOM SE has issued a sponsored Level 1 American depositary receipts (ADR) program in the United States.

To pay the purchase price, CANCOM issued 263,783 new stocks by means of a capital increase against non-cash contributions. On June 25, the Supervisory Board approved a proposal by the Executive Board to use part of the Authorized Capital 2010-I to increase the company s capital stock by 263,783, from 14,615,791 to 14,879,574, against non-cash contributions.

The capital stock was increased by the full 263,783 (equivalent to 263,783 new stocks) and the increase was recorded in the commercial register at Munich Local Court (Amtsgericht) on July 3,. On April 29,, CANCOM and HP Enterprise Services signed a general agreement on the use of CANCOM AHP Private Cloud in HP s cloud services portfolio.

8 CONSOLIDATED INTERIM MANAGEMENT REPORT 8 The order position The CANCOM Group s consolidated gross profit for the first six months of the year was up 38.3 percent year on year, from 89.6 million in to million in. This was as a result of the successful expansion of the high-margin services business. The gross profit margin was up from 33.1 percent to 32.6 percent. In the IT solutions business segment, the majority of incoming orders are converted to sales within two weeks because of our large delivery capacity. Consequently, the reporting date figures on their own do not give a true picture of our order situation in this area of business, and for this reason they are not published. CANCOM Group gross profit Year-on-year comparison of figures for the first six months (in million) Consolidated earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) for the first six months of the fiscal year were up 44.6 percent year on year, from 14.8 million in to 21.4 million in. As a result, the EBITDA margin rose to 5.7 percent, compared with 5.4 percent in. CANCOM Group EBITDA Year-on-year comparison of figures for the first six months (in million) Consolidated earnings before interest, tax and amortization (EBITA) amounted to 15.3 million, an increase of 40.4 percent on the figure of 10.9 million for the same period of. CANCOM Group EBITA Year-on-year comparison of figures for the first six months (in million) Consolidated earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) amounted to 10.1 million. The figure is lower than in the previous year, owing to an increase in amortization of intangible assets as a result of acquisitions. In the cloud solutions business segment, orders are often placed over long periods. For this reason, the reporting figures do not give a good indication of the order situation of this segment either. Explanations of individual items on the statement of income Further details on items in the statement of income are given in the notes to the consolidated statement of income. b) Financial and assets position Objectives of financial management The core objective of the financial management of the CANCOM Group is to safeguard its liquidity at all times in such a way that day-to-day business activities can be continued.

Sales in IT services are expected to rise by 3.2 percent to 36.5 billion. Experts anticipate a weaker performance from the IT hardware market, which they expect to grow by only 0.2 percent to 20.8 billion this year. Performance of the German IT sector in real change in comparison with, as a percentage) IT-Markt gesamt + 2,9 IT-Hardware + 0,2 Software + 5,3 Services + 3,2 Forecast: BITKOM, March CANCOM plans to continue consolidating its market position in the IT environment, in the German-speaking countries as well as in other countries, through selective acquisitions. The market continues to offer favorable conditions for this policy. Owing to the Group s good positioning in the IT market - and in particular in the growth market of cloud computing - the Executive Board expects further growth in the company and an improvement in profits in the medium term if the demand for IT products and services remains steady or even rises. For the Group as a whole, the Executive Board currently expects a significant increase in the gross profit and EBITDA in the fiscal year. Anticipated performance of the CANCOM Group CANCOM aims to continue growing at a faster rate than the IT market and to expand its market share steadily, both through acquisitions and organically, on the basis of its proven expertise and outstanding market position in the IT growth areas of cloud computing, mobility, IT security and managed services. To achieve this aim, CANCOM geared its business policy to the IT growth areas from an early stage, and designed its sales and services structure around them. The expansion of the e-commerce business and the optimized e-supply chain, which enables process and transaction costs to be reduced both for clients and for the CANCOM Group, is intended to make the Group s trading business more profitable. CANCOM has a market presence and is close to its clients in the German-speaking countries. The Group is represented all over Germany and Austria by its many service and consulting locations. As a group, for instance through its U.S. subsidiary HPM Networks, CANCOM is able to design, configure and roll out IT infrastructure for international companies. CANCOM s collaboration with HP Enterprise Services enables it to offer clients remote managed services, in which it manages clients ongoing IT operation in the private cloud from HP s worldwide hosting data centers, using the CANCOM AHP Private Cloud platform. The distribution partnership could accelerate the growth of the Group s business in the cloud environment. 9.
