Nemetschek was able to successfully beat several potential buyers because of its group structure with an independent brand offering. Solibri is a globally leading and internationally aligned provider of software solutions for the quality assurance and quality control of Building Information Modeling (BIM), the digital work method for designing, constructing and operating buildings. The "Solibri Model Checker" validates that BIM models in particular are compliant in terms of integrity, quality and country-specific standards throughout the whole design and building processes. The evaluation of entire projects according to logical analysis rules which detect errors is unique worldwide. Solibri - like all brands of the Nemetschek Group - is a proponent of open standards (Open BIM) and enables the application of building-relevant information via open interfaces across all stages in the building process. Strategically, Solibri is very significant for the further development of the Nemetschek Group. The solutions are a perfect complement; they will have a central position in the Nemetschek Group's solution portfolio and connect all brands and their products by means of an integrated and holistic workflow. Solibri was founded in 1999 and has around 35 employees. In addition to its headquarters in Helsinki, the company has branches in the US and UK. For the 2015 financial year, Solibri anticipates revenue amounting to just under EUR 5 million, an increase of more than 50% compared to the previous year. An operating margin (EBITDA margin) of more than 20% is expected for 2015. The fixed component of the purchase price of the acquisition amounts to EUR 32 million. Financing is through the taking out of a loan. This is supplemented by earn-out components, which are linked to the increase in revenue and to profitability in the financial year of 2017. According to today's perspective, earn-out payments amounting to approx. EUR 13 million are forecast. The acquisition is expected to be completed by the end of 2015.
