Risks and Opportunities for the Company's Future Development 
As of the reporting date of March 31, 2021, the Company's risk and opportunity structure had not deviated significantly 
from the description in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020. Material changes 
are also not expected for the remaining nine months of 2021. For more detailed information, we refer to the Group 
Management Report in the 2020 Annual Report, page 10 et seq. New risks relating to the COVID-19 crisis are currently 
being reviewed on an almost daily basis and acted on at short notice as required. This affects the global business 
activities of the entire Group, in close cooperation with the Executive Board and the management of the individual 
units. The effects of the global chip crisis are not yet fully foreseeable. Softing is currently responding to it as 
described above. 
Outlook 
We are currently confirming the Group's guidance for 2021 published in the management report of the 2020 Annual Report 
(p. 33). Overall, we continue to anticipate an increase in both revenue and incoming orders for the 2021 financial 
year. 
We anticipate both EBIT and operating EBIT to be in the range of EUR 2.0 million to EUR 3.0 million. However, the above 
revenue and EBIT planning is contingent on a global economic stabilization and recovery in the next nine months of 
2021. The earliest update to the forecast can be published after the COVID-19 crisis has subsided in Europe, as the 
economic uncertainty associated with the pandemic will continue to make it impossible to issue specific statements 
before that. 
Events after the Reporting Period 
There are no events after the reporting date of the quarterly management statement to report. 
General accounting policies 
The consolidated financial statements of Softing AG as of December 31, 2020 were prepared in accordance with the 
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) and the guidance of the International Accounting Standards Board 
(IASB) applicable at the reporting date. The quarterly management statement as of March 31, 2021, which was prepared on 
the basis of International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34 "Interim Financial Reporting", does not contain all of the 
required information in accordance with the requirements for the presentation of the annual report and should be read 
in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of Softing AG as of December 31, 2020. In general, the same 
accounting policies were applied in the quarterly management statement as of March 31, 2021 as in the consolidated 
financial statements for the 2020 financial year. This quarterly management statement was prepared without an auditor's 
review. 
Changes in the Basis of Consolidation 
As of March 31, 2021, no changes occurred in the basis of consolidation of Softing AG compared to December 31, 2020.
