Q.Beyond Ag Launches Ai Act as A Service Q.Beyond AG has launched a new offering: “AI Act as a Service”. This service enables managers responsible for AI to evaluate the AI systems in use at their company and swiftly obtain an auditable assessment of their AI-related risks, including relevant documentation and verification. Q.Beyond’s AI Act as a Service supports them in placing AI applications at their company on a safe regulatory footing. This in turn accelerates their AI deployment and forms the basis for boosting AI-driven productivity gains and value creation. The EU AI Act is the European AI Regulation, the world’s first legal framework for deploying artificial intelligence at companies. The legislation is already in force and is gradually taking binding effect for companies. Relevant dates in this respect include August 2026 for most of the general requirements and December 2027 for high-risk AI systems. The EU is pursuing the objectives of minimizing any risks to security, health, and basic rights arising at companies due to the use of artificial intelligence while at the same time boosting innovation. The regulatory requirements depend not on the size of a given company, but rather on the potential risk posed by an AI application. This may vary widely between individual sectors and application scenarios. This is precisely the issue which Q.Beyond’s new service addresses: It provides companies of all sizes and in all sectors with an overview of the regulatory risks they face due to the AI systems they already use or plan to use. Companies typically already deploy several dozen large language models (LLMs) and agents. The service can be booked directly on Q.Beyond’s website and drawn on without any prior integration. Alongside a monthly subscription which, depending on the price scale, may cover one to several accounts, a free version is also available. This already enables companies to perform a basic assessment of the requirements placed by the EU AI Act in an AI application. The service particularly targets corporate decision-makers, such as CIOs, compliance managers, and CISOs. The service attracted the attention of numerous Q.Beyond customers during its previous trial phase and is already being put to productive use. Q.Beyond additionally advises companies on deploying AI securely and in line with data protection requirements. With its “Private Enterprise AI” platform, the company also offers a secure and protected environment for processing sensitive company information. Furthermore, the IT service provider develops AI agents for companies operating in the retail, manufacturing, logistics, banking & insurance, healthcare, and energy sectors, as well as for the public sector. These solutions are subsequently operated as managed services and sustainably enhance the business value of Q.Beyond’s SME customers. Major Estimate Revision • May 18

New minor risk - Market cap size The company's market capitalization is less than US$100m. Market cap: €84.3m (US$97.7m) This is considered a minor risk. Companies with a small market capitalization are most likely businesses that have not yet released a product to market or are simply a very small company without a wide reach. Either way, risk is elevated with these companies because there is a chance the product may not come to fruition or the company's addressable market or demand may not be as large as expected. In addition, if the company's size is the main factor, it is less likely to have many investors and analysts following it and scrutinizing its performance and outlook.

New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings have declined by 53% per year over the past 5 years. This is considered a major risk. Ultimately, shareholders want to see a good return on their investment and that generally comes from sharing in the company's profits. If profits are declining over an extended period, then in most cases the share price will decline over time unless the company can turn around its fortunes. A trend of falling earnings can be very difficult to turn around. If the company is well already established it may also be a sign the company has matured and is in decline. In addition, if the company pays dividends it will also likely need to reduce or cut them, striking a dual blow to total shareholder returns. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Earnings have declined by 53% per year over the past 5 years. Minor Risks Currently unprofitable and not forecast to become profitable over next 2 years (€1.6m net loss in 2 years). Market cap is less than US$100m (€77.2m market cap, or US$84.4m).

New minor risk - Profitability The company is currently unprofitable and not forecast to become profitable over the next 2 years.

Ultimately, shareholders want to see a good return on their investment and that generally comes from sharing in the company's profits. Without profits, the company is under pressure to grow significantly while potentially having to reduce costs and possibly needing to take on debt or raise capital to remain afloat. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Minor Risks Currently unprofitable and not forecast to become profitable over next 2 years (€2.2m net loss in 2 years).

q.beyond AG Provides Earnings Guidance for the Second Half of 2022 q.beyond AG provided earnings guidance for the second half of 2022. q.beyond's organic growth will be boosted in the second half of 2022 by the package of measures outlined above. These were introduced in response to the business performance not fully conforming to expectations, particularly in the SAP segment. If these measures show their planned effects, q.beyond will still be able to reach the targets published at the end of March for the 2022 financial year as a whole. Including one acquisition in the energy sector, these involved generating revenues of between EUR 180 million and EUR 200 million, EBITDA of between EUR 8 million and EUR 16 million. Excluding the acquisition now called off and in view of the current business framework, the company's revenues and EBITDA will be at the lower end of these forecast ranges. Based on current planning and like in the previous year, q.beyond expects to see a strong second half of the financial year. Driven by rising revenues, earnings will show disproportionate growth thanks to the company's scalable business model. This assumes that the underlying conditions in the German economy do not deteriorate any further. Based on this budget, q.beyond still plans for double-digit growth in its Cloud business, a significant increase in SaaS revenues and for the SAP segment to overcome the effects of the coronavirus pandemic.

Via standard interfaces, the StoreButler supplies the digital store infrastructure with product data from the retailer's merchandising system and processes sensor and device data from the points of sale.
