Letter from the CEO.

Q1 2018/19:

Revenues -3.7% EBIT -39.2%

Outlook 2018/19:

Revenues and EBIT on previous year's level

Positive order situation.

By the end of the year, decisions on major projects expected.

Dear Shareholders,

The project business accounts for a significant portion of Kapsch TrafficCom's revenues (more than 25% in Q1 2018/19). It can occasionally happen that project milestones are reached in a different quarter than planned. Sometimes even a short delay (beyond the end of a reporting period) is enough to cause shifts between quarters. The reasons for this are diverse and can lie with customers, suppliers and, of course, with us. Therefore, I prefer to review and analyze the earnings of Kapsch TrafficCom over a longer period of time than, as required, per quarter.

Delays in existing implementation projects (ETC segment) were also the primary reason that revenues and earnings in Q1 2018/19 fell short of expectations. I would like to emphasize here that we have not lost any significant orders, but there have been differences between the planned and current project progress in some projects for various reasons – which were sometimes beyond our control. As a result, certain revenues and contribution margins could not be achieved yet. As a consequence, we have reduced our outlook for the fiscal year and are now assuming revenues and EBIT on the previous year's level.

Higher currency losses weighed on the financial result in the first quarter; these amounted to a loss of EUR 3.7 million in total as compared to a loss of EUR 1.2 million in the previous year. A fictitious tax rate of 30% was applied to the pre-tax earnings (actual values are not calculated until the end of the fiscal year). All this led to a decline of more than 60% in the result for the period and to earnings per share of EUR 0.21.

Apart from the delays mentioned above, the order situation remains positive. For example, we were contracted to modernize the Swiss truck toll system as well as to handle its maintenance and system operation through 2020, which can be extended to 2024. By the end of the calendar year, we also expect decisions on the awarding of a number of major projects and should find out what will happen in the Czech Republic and Poland. In both countries, the tenders for nation-wide toll systems were canceled. Our teams are working hard to remain a strong partner for governments in toll collection.

The strong balance sheet with an equity ratio of 37.6% provides us with support for new major projects, and the gearing ratio of 2.5% gives us sufficient flexibility in my opinion. I therefore remain optimistic about the future and hope that we will be able to report additional new business in the coming months.

The Group's growth and increasing internationalization mean that internal measures for increasing operational excellence are constantly gaining significance. Better and more intensive global cooperation is essential for the performance and ongoing growth of Kapsch TrafficCom.

Sincerely,

Georg Kapsch Chief Executive Officer

Analysis of the Results and Balance Sheet Q1 2018/19.

Revenues and earnings.

Revenues by region.

In the first quarter of the current fiscal year Kapsch TrafficCom's revenues reached EUR 158.2 million and were thus 3.7% below the previous year's level (EUR 164.3 million). Revenues for the current fiscal year are presented in accordance with the new accounting standard IFRS 15, however, the transition did not result in any deviation from the revenue recognition in the fiscal year 2017/18.

The operating result (EBIT) was EUR 7.1 million and thus well below the previous year's figure of EUR 11.7 million. This corresponds to an EBIT margin of 4.5% (Q1 2017/18: 7.1%). Deferments within existing projects were mainly responsible for this decrease. Currency effects from operating activities had a positive effect in the first quarter of the current fiscal year.

Despite positive effects from the valuation of the other investment Q-Free ASA, Norway, in the amount of EUR 0.9 million and lower interest expenses, the financial result declined in the first quarter of the current fiscal year to EUR -3.5 million compared to EUR -2.3 million in the same period of the previous year. The main reason for this was higher currency losses which burdened the financial result with a total of EUR -3.7 million (Q1 2017/18: EUR -1.2 million) and are mainly due to exchange rate fluctuations of the South African rand (ZAR) in respect to the euro (EUR).

In the first quarter of 2018/19 a tax rate of 30% was applied to the Group's pre-tax result and gives rise to the tax expense of EUR -1.1 million. In the same period of the previous year tax expense amounted to EUR -2.6 million or 28.6% of the Group's pre-tax result.

The profit for the period for the first quarter of 2018/19 was EUR 2.5 million (Q1 2017/18: EUR 6.6 million). The decrease of 62.3% compared to the same period of the previous year is primarily attributable to the above mentioned effects in EBIT and in the financial result.

The segments developed as follows in the first quarter:

Electronic Toll Collection (ETC).

At EUR 119.6 million, revenues in the ETC segment were 3.1% below the previous year's figure of EUR 123.4 million and thus contributed 75.6% to total revenues (Q1 2017/18: 75.1%).

The largest contribution to revenues (EUR 79.6 million, Q1 2017/18: EUR 86.0 million) continued to be generated in the EMEA region with the nation-wide toll projects in the Czech Republic, Poland, Belarus and Austria as well as projects in South Africa. The volume of implementation projects decreased slightly compared to the same period of the previous year.

Revenues in the Americas region rose slightly from EUR 29.9 million to EUR 31.0 million in the first quarter. This was above all due to the revenues of Simex, which was fully taken over in the second quarter of the previous year.

In the APAC region a rise in revenues of EUR 1.5 million was recorded compared to the same period of the previous year. Revenues particularly increased in Singapore.

In the first quarter of the fiscal year, a record number of 3.3 million on-board units were sold (Q1 2017/18: 2.9 million units). Increases were recorded particularly in the USA, Morocco, Spain and Russia, while sales in Norway, France and Turkey declined compared to the same period in the previous year.

ETC revenues: EUR 119.6 million (-3.1%).

ETC revenues by region.

ETC EBIT: EUR 7.0 million (-52.3%).

Revenues in this segment are broken down by business type as follows:

in EUR million Q1 2017/18 Q1 2018/19 +/-
Revenues 123.4 119.6 -3.1%
Implementation 27.1 25.1 -7.6%
Operations 69.8 67.2 -3.8%
Components 26.4 27.3 3.4%
EBIT 14.6 7.0 -52.3%

EBIT in the ETC segment fell by 52.3% compared to the same period in the previous year and reached EUR 7.0 million. Cost of materials and other production services, as well as staff costs, increased in the first quarter of the current fiscal year, despite lower revenues. The operating currency result improved by EUR 4.1 million to EUR 0.9 million compared to the same period in the previous year (foreign exchange gains increased by EUR 1.8 million and foreign exchange losses decreased by EUR -2.3 million). Other operating expenses fell slightly by EUR 1.4 million. In addition to lower foreign exchange losses (EUR -2.3 million), lower maintenance costs (EUR -0.9 million) were the reason for this decline, while increases in IT expenses (EUR +0.8 million) and in legal and consulting fees (EUR +0.9 million) counteracted the positive effect.

Intelligent Mobility Solutions (IMS).

Revenues in the IMS segment fell to EUR 38.7 million (-5.5%) in the first quarter of 2018/19, contributing 24.4% to total revenues (Q1 2017/18: 24.9%).

While revenues in the EMEA region increased (+8.9%), they decreased in the Americas region by 17.8% and in the APAC region by 46.7%.

Revenues in this segment are broken down by business type as follows:

in EUR million Q1 2017/18 Q1 2018/19 +/-
Revenues 40.9 38.7 -5.5%
Implementation 18.6 16.3 -12.1%
Operations 20.1 19.6 -2.5%
Components 2.2 2.7 23.1%
EBIT -2.9 0.1 104.4%

EBIT in the IMS segment amounted to EUR 0.1 million in the first quarter and was significantly above the previous year's level (Q1 2017/18: EUR -2.9 million). Cost of materials and other production services decreased sharply compared to the same period in the previous year. Staff costs and other operating expenses also fell, resulting in an increased EBIT.

Financial situation.

The balance sheet total of Kapsch TrafficCom as at June 30, 2018 amounted to EUR 614.8 million (March 31, 2018: EUR 621.1 million).

Assets.

On the assets side of the balance sheet loans to other investments as well as the valuation of other investments in connection with the first-time adoption of IFRS 9 led to an increase in "other non-current financial assets and investments". "Contract assets" are presented separately for the first time in accordance with IFRS 15 (non-current: EUR 2.1 million; current: EUR 112.4 million). Previously, amounts due from customers for contract work as well as for service and maintenance contracts (March 31,2018: EUR 83.9 million) were included in "trade receivables and other current assets". As a result of the separate presentation, "trade receivables and other current assets" fell by EUR 108.4 million in total. In addition, trade receivables in Austria, the USA and South Africa decreased. "Cash and cash equivalents" decreased by EUR 21.2 million compared to the level as at March 31, 2018. This was mainly due to the negative free cash flow in the first quarter and payments from the acquisition of minority shares.

IMS revenues: EUR 38.7 million (-5.5%).

IMS revenues by region.

IMS EBIT: EUR 0.1 million (>100%).

Liabilities and equity.

On the liabilities side of the balance sheet "contract liabilities" are presented separately for the first time in accordance with IFRS 15 (non-current: EUR 13.6 million; current: EUR 23.4 million). Previously, amounts due to customers for contract work (March 31,2018: EUR 31.5 million) were included in other liabilities, which consequently fell significantly. "Other liabilities and deferred income" are thus EUR 42.6 million lower, including the payment of earn-out liabilities from the acquisition of Kapsch Telematic Services GmbH, Vienna, in the amount of EUR 3.5 million. The increase in equity by EUR 1.4 million to EUR 231.4 million compared to March 31, 2018 resulted from the "total comprehensive income for the period" amounting to EUR 1.8 million, whereby the first-time adoption of the new standards IFRS 15 and IFRS 9 had a negative impact of EUR -0.5 million. The equity ratio as at June 30, 2018 was at 37.6% (March 31, 2018: 37.0%).

Key figures.

While "amounts due from customers for contract work" – being part of the position "trade receivables and other current assets" – have already been included in the calculation of net working capital, "amounts due to customers for contract work" – being part of the position "other liabilities and deferred income" – have not been included. The separate presentation of "current contract liabilities" which is required in accordance with IFRS 15 prompted Kapsch TrafficCom to consider this position in the calculation of net working capital as of June 30, 2018. The first-time inclusion resulted in a decrease of net working capital to EUR 229.3 million as at June 30, 2018 (March 31, 2018: EUR 239.2 million).

After reporting a net cash of EUR 16.2 million as at March 31, 2018, the Group showed a net debt of EUR 5.8 million as at June 30, 2018, corresponding to a gearing ratio of 2.5% (March 31, 2018: n/a).

Cash flow.

Net cash flow from operating activities amounted to EUR -10.8 million in the first quarter of the fiscal year (Q1 2017/18: EUR -3.0 million). The decline is due to the lower operating result in the reporting period (EUR -4.6 million) and the decrease in the amount of EUR -6.3 million in "trade payables and other current payables" including "contract liabilities" (Q1 2017/18: EUR +1.3 million) and in the amount of EUR -8.4 million in "trade receivables and other assets" also including "contract assets" (Q1 2017/18: EUR -3.9 million).

Net cash flow from investing activities amounted to EUR -4.3 million in the first quarter of 2018/19, which is lower than the figure in the first quarter of 2017/18 (EUR -1.3 million). EUR 0.9 million were paid in the first quarter for the acquisition of additional shares in IMS Zambia. The net CAPEX for property, plant and equipment and intangible assets were roughly at the previous year's level. Furthermore, loans of EUR 2.0 million were given to other investments.

Net cash flow from financing activities was also negative at EUR -4.4 million in the first quarter (Q1 2017/18: EUR +0.4 million), the majority of which was due to the settlement of earn-out liabilities from previous acquisitions.

Free cash flow (net cash flow from operating activities minus net CAPEX) of EUR -12.2 million was significantly below the previous year's figure of EUR -4.3 million. Free cash flow decreased despite stable net CAPEX, as a result of the decline in operating result and the negative effects from net working capital.

Cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2018 amounted to EUR 160.6 million (March 31, 2018: EUR 181.8 million).

1 General information.

Kapsch TrafficCom, headquartered in Vienna, Austria, is a global supplier of superior Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS).

The Group operates in two segments:

  • Electronic Toll Collection (ETC)
  • Intelligent Mobility Solutions (IMS)

The Electronic Toll Collection (ETC) segment comprises activities relating to the installation and the technical and commercial operation of toll collection systems. Projects are generally awarded by public agencies or private concessionaires in the context of tender procedures. Toll collection systems may comprise both individual road sections and nation-wide road networks. The manufacture and procurement of components both for the expansion and adaptation of the systems installed by Kapsch TrafficCom and on behalf of third parties complete the portfolio of Kapsch TrafficCom; toll services further complete it.

The Intelligent Mobility Solutions (IMS) segment comprises activities relating to the installation and the technical and commercial operation of systems for traffic monitoring, traffic control and traffic safety. Projects for the monitoring of utility vehicles and for electronic vehicle registration, as well as intelligent parking solutions and systems for intermodal mobility (networked modes of transport), are also allocated to this segment, as are systems and services for operational surveillance of public transportation and environmental installations. Components related business also completes the range of IMS services offered by Kapsch TrafficCom Group.

2 Basis of preparation.

This condensed interim financial information for the first quarter ended June 30, 2018 has been prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by the IASB, as adopted by the EU, according to IAS 34 Interim Financial Statements, and should only be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2018.

The interim report was neither subject to an audit nor to a review by an auditor.

For ease of presentation, amounts have been rounded and, unless indicated otherwise, are presented in thousands of euros (TEUR). However, calculations are done using exact amounts, including the digits not shown, which may lead to rounding differences.

3 Accounting policies.

The accounting policies adopted in this condensed interim financial information for the first quarter ended June 30, 2018 are generally consistent with those of the annual financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2018, and described therein, except for the application of the following new or amended IFRS and IFRIC:

IFRS 15 "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" regulates the recognition of revenue, replacing IAS 11 and IAS 18. Kapsch TrafficCom applies the new standard, including the clarifications to IFRS 15, for the first time in the fiscal year 2018/19 (from April 1, 2018) using the modified retrospective method. This results in no deviation from the previous revenue recognition and thus no equity effect arises from to the first-time application of the standard. The presentation and disclosure requirements of IFRS 15 are met in this condensed interim financial information, to the extent applicable to IAS 34.

The Group has carried out a comprehensive analysis of customer contracts and implemented a software solution that calculates the required accrued revenues for all customer projects differentiated according to the different performance obligations.

Revenues from implementation projects are recognized according to the percentage-of-completion method, but IFRS 15 includes new criteria for recognizing revenues over a certain period of time. The implementation projects meet the criteria for "fulfilling the performance obligation over a certain period of time", since assets are created for which there is no alternative use and the Group has a legal claim to payment of the services already provided.

Revenues from operations (services such as operating and maintenance services as well as other services) are recognized in the reporting period in which the corresponding service was rendered. Since the customer benefits from the service rendered, revenues from operations under IFRS 15 are recognized on a periodic basis.

When selling components, in contrast to IAS 18, which follows a risks and rewards approach, it must be judged when the transfer of control for a good takes place. At that point in time revenues are recognized under IFRS 15.

Certain costs incurred in obtaining or fulfilling a contract, must be capitalized in accordance with IFRS 15 if the criteria are met. In the first quarter of 2018/19 and in the fiscal year 2017/18, no such costs eligible for capitalization were incurred.

IFRS 9 "Financial Instruments" addresses the classification, recognition and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities.

IFRS 9 maintains the mixed measurement model with simplifications and creates three valuation categories for financial assets: amortized cost, fair value through other comprehensive income and fair value through profit or loss. The classification depends on the business model of the company and the characteristics of the contractual cash flows of the financial asset. Investments in equity instruments are generally required to be measured at fair value through profit or loss. Only at initial recognition the irrevocable option of recognizing changes in the fair value in other comprehensive income can be elected. The only exception concerns liabilities designated as at fair value through profit or loss, for which changes in fair value due to changes in own credit risk are now to be recognized in other comprehensive income.

Kapsch TrafficCom applies the new standard for the first time in the fiscal year 2018/19 (from April 1, 2018), with the exception of the new rules of hedge accounting, and takes advantage of the practical facilitations. The comparative figures for the fiscal year 2017/18 were not adjusted. The following information relating to IFRS 9 is relevant:

  • Debt instruments that were classified as available-for-sale (AFS) instruments according to IAS 39, are categorized at fair value through profit or loss according to IFRS 9.
  • Debt instruments, that include cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest and that are held within the business model, are classified at amortized cost according to IFRS 9.
  • Equity instruments that were valued as available-for-sale (AFS) instruments according to IAS 39, are categorized at fair value through profit or loss according to IFRS 9. In the first quarter of 2018/19 the investment in Q-Free ASA, Norway, is included in this category.
  • Other investments included in the balance sheet of the Group that were valued at amortized costs, and were not available for sale, are valued at fair value through other comprehensive income (without recycling) according to IFRS 9. The investments in ParkJockey Inc., USA, and Traffic Technology Services Inc., USA, are included in this category in the first quarter of 2018/19. For new investments the decision of the category will be made individually.
  • Derivative financial instruments continue to be classified as fair value through profit or loss. Derivative financial instruments that are designated as cash flow hedges remain in the category hedging instruments of IAS 39.
  • Trade receivables, other financial assets and liabilities continue to be valued at amortized cost according to IFRS 9. There are no liabilities designated as at fair value through profit or loss.
  • As the Group does not sell trade receivables as part of factoring, the corresponding rules of IFRS 9 are not relevant.
  • The Group uses the simplified model for trade receivables without a significant financing component as well as for contract assets in the meaning of IFRS 15 and calculates the impairment in the amount of credit losses expected over the term accordingly. The expected credit loss is determined on the basis of a provision matrix, in which the financial assets are broken down according to the age structure and the respective default rates are determined for different age bands. To create a provision matrix, historical data about actually occurred failures are considered first. However, in addition to the historical perspective, the Group also considers future-oriented information and expectations. Contract assets have similar risk criteria as trade receivables not yet due and therefore use the same loss rates.

The application of the new standard IFRS 9 as of April 1, 2018 led to the following adjustments in equity: The valuation of other investments increased equity by TEUR 1,603, on the other hand the additional impairments due to expected credit losses of trade receivables and contract assets decreased equity in the amount of TEUR -1,846 and TEUR -408 respectively. Considering deferred taxes, the negative effect in equity results to TEUR -504. Due to the reclassification of securities that were valued as available-for-sale according to IAS 39 and are now valued at fair value through profit or loss according to IFRS 9, cummulated gains are reclassified in equity from other reserves to retained earnings in the amount of TEUR 86. The disclosure requirements of IFRS 9, to the extent applicable to IAS 34 reports, are included in this report.

First-time adoption of IFRS 15 and IFRS 9.

The following amounts as of March 31, 2018 were adjusted due to the first-time adoption of IFRS 15 and IFRS 9:

Not yet effective standard IFRS 16.

IFRS 16 "Leases" specifies the recognition, measurement, presentation as well as disclosure requirements with regard to leases in financial statements. The Group will not apply the standard prematurely and plans to use the simplification rules and not to provide comparative figures for the previous period.

The Group has begun an initial analysis of the contracts and a process for selecting a software solution. The most significant effect is expected to result from the capitalization of assets and liabilities arising from operating leases for motor vehicles and buildings as well as IT equipment. Regarding the disclosure of non-cancellable operating leases as of March 31, 2018, please refer to the annual financial statements as of March 31, 2018.

4 Material accounting estimates and assumptions.

In the context of the preparation of the condensed consolidated interim financial information, the Group makes judgements, estimates and assumptions in relation to the application of accounting methods and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The actual results may differ from these estimates. All estimates and judgments are continually re-evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations as to future events which are believed to be reasonable under the given circumstances. The estimates made by the Management are in line with those adopted in the annual financial statements as of March 31, 2018 and described therein.

Fair value measurement.

The Group bases its fair value measurement of assets and liabilities on observable market data to the greatest extent possible. The fair value can be assigned to one of various levels within a fair value hierarchy using a number of evaluation techniques. Further information on the fair value measurement can be found in note 13.

5 Risk management.

The financial risks to which Kapsch TrafficCom is exposed are described in the annual financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2018 and have not changed significantly since then.

Fair value-hierarchies and determination of fair value:

Financial assets and liabilities have to be classified to one of the three following fair value-hierarchies:

Level 1: There are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. In the Group, the investment in Q-Free ASA, Norway, as well as listed equity instruments are attributed to level 1.

Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined by using valuation techniques based on direct or indirect observable market data. This category comprises available-for-sale securities, such as mortgage bonds and government bonds, which are quoted, however not regularly traded on a stock market, derivative financial instruments and financial liabilities.

Specific valuation techniques used to value financial instruments include:

  • Quoted market prices for securities.
  • The fair value of interest rate swaps is calculated as the present value of the estimated future cash flows based on observable yield curves.
  • The fair value of forward foreign exchange contracts is determined using forward exchange rates at the balance sheet date, with the resulting value discounted to present value.
  • The fair value of other financial liabilities classified as level 2 was determined by discounting the gross cash flows over the contracted term, using a risk-adjusted interest rate.
  • Other techniques, such as discounted cash flow analysis, are used to determine fair value for the remaining financial instruments.

Level 3: Financial instruments whose valuation information is not based on observable market data are classified to the level 3 category. Variable purchase price components (earn-out) and unlisted equity instruments fall into this category and are based on agreed conditions and the expectation of the future sales/earnings development of the respective subsidiaries or investments. Long-term purchase price components are discounted using a risk-adjusted interest rate.

Level not specified: The carrying value of these items, which are valued at amortized cost, is a reasonable approximation of the fair value in accordance with IFRS 7.29. Therefore no fair value-hierarchy is disclosed.

No reclassifications between fair value-hierarchy levels were made.

Level 3 earn-out liabilities and investments.

The development of level 3 earn-out liabilities is as follows:

Earn-out liabilities
Q1 2017/18
Q1 2018/19
Carrying amount as of March 31 of prior year 11,851 12,751
Disposal -750 -4,250
Interest 28 13

16 Changes in the scope of consolidation.

Changes in the scope of consolidation in the first quarter of 2018/19.

Kapsch TrafficCom Peru S.A.C., Lima, Peru, was founded on April 1, 2018 and MTS Maut & Telematik Services GmbH, Berlin, Germany, on June 1, 2018. Both entities are wholly-owned subsidiaries of Kapsch TrafficCom.

The shell company Athomstart Invest 253 AS, Norway, which was fully acquired in the fiscal year 2017/18, was renamed to Kapsch TrafficCom Norway AS, Norway, on April 4, 2018.

Kapsch TrafficCom do Brasil LTDA, Sao Paulo, Brazil, was liquidated in the first quarter of 2018/19.

Adjustments to the first quarter of 2017/18.

Non-controlling interests were adjusted for the first quarter of the fiscal year 2017/18. At the beginning of the fiscal year 2017/18, 17.1% of the shares in TMT Services and Supplies (Pty) Ltd., South Africa, were indirectly transferred via MobiServe (Pty) Ltd., South Africa, to an Employee Participation Scheme Trust (hereinafter referred to as Trust South Africa), through which all employees of the Group in South Africa can voluntarily participate in the success of TMT. This measure aimed to increase both the motivation of the employees and the competitiveness of the company as part of the BBBEE assessment in South Africa. However, according to analysis in accordance with IFRS 10 as at March 31, 2018, the Trust South Africa is fully controlled by Kapsch TrafficCom. As a result, the shares of Trust South Africa were included for the first time, and those of MobiServe (Pty) Ltd. and TMT Services and Supplies (Pty) Ltd. were continued to be included in the consolidated financial statements at 100% and the non-controlling interests for the first quarter of 2017/18 were adjusted.

17 Contingent liabilities and other commitments.

The contingent liabilities of Kapsch TrafficCom primarily result from large-scale projects. Other commitments relate to both contract and warranty obligations, sureties and performance bonds issued by Kapsch TrafficCom, as well as guarantees and bid bonds issued by third parties (usually financial institutes and insurance companies). In case contractual obligations cannot be fulfilled, there is a risk of corresponding claims being brought by the customer in question. This can result in a recourse claim of the financial institute or insurance company against the Group.

The contingent and other liabilities solely comprise obligations owed to third parties, in line with standard industry practice. They detail as follows:

Outflows of resources in connection with other commitments amounting to TEUR 347,098 (March 31, 2018: TEUR 351,401), the actual occurrence of which is considered to be unlikely, are not reported on the balance sheet or under contingent liabilities.
