Mixed results:

Revenues +7.9%

be a challenge.

Strategy is being advanced.

EBIT -33.4%

Dear Shareholders,

Kapsch TrafficCom has had to accept a so-so start in the new fiscal year. On the one hand, we were able to continue our growth course and increase revenues by 7.9% to EUR 164.3 million. On the other hand, we recorded a decline in operating result (EBIT) of EUR 5.9 million (-33.4%) down to EUR 11.7 million. There were several reasons for this:

  • In the course of extending the tolling project in the Czech Republic, it was necessary for us to lower the prices. The aim is to offset the resulting decline in profits through profitable new business during the next quarters.
  • After the integration of the transportation business acquired from Schneider Electric, the synergies were not yet fully realized in the US.
  • Negative currency effects mainly from the currency combinations EUR/USD and EUR/ZAR placed a burden of EUR 3.8 million on the EBIT, i.e. EUR 2.5 million more than in the same period of the previous year.
  • Moreover, the EBIT contained a positive one-time effect in the amount of EUR 3.0 million in the first quarter of 2016/17.

When adjusted by the last two points – i.e. the known one-time effect and the effects of exchange rate fluctuations, which can only be influenced to a limited extent – we have nearly achieved a stable EBIT development in the normal course of business. Nevertheless, I had been hoping for a better result. Based on this first quarter, I believe it will be a challenge in 2017/18 to achieve the EBIT that we had in the last fiscal year. This is all the more so if the effects of exchange rate fluctuations will continue to work against us. Fiscal year 2017/18: Achieving last year's EBIT will

However, I am still confident. During this first quarter, important foundations for our continued success were laid that are in harmony with our strategy.

Sustainability.

In our South African subsidiary TMT, 17.1% of the shares were handed over indirectly to a trust, and – linked to this – an "Employee Participation Scheme Trust" was introduced that enables all group employees in South Africa to voluntarily participate in TMT's company success. The goal of this measure was to increase both the motivation of the local colleagues as well as the competitiveness of the company within the context of the BBBEE assessment (Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment: a program in South Africa to achieve equal economic opportunities for previously disadvantaged citizens).

Growth.

Securing the core business In Poland and the Czech Republic, we installed and are currently operating the nation-wide truck tolling system.
in Poland and the Czech The new tendering process for an eight-year contract in Poland began already at the end of 2016. In the Czech
Republic. Republic, the new tendering for a ten-year contract was announced before summer. We will be striving to be
awarded the new contract in both markets.

Moreover, there is a series of large new business opportunities that our teams are looking at or are already working on intensively. As an example, I would like to mention the still ongoing tendering process in Bulgaria for setting up a nation-wide truck tolling system (eVignette) and technical maintenance for three additional years. In Germany and the US, opportunities have come up that we will hopefully be able to report on within the next twelve months. Expanding the core business.

Growth through M&A.

At this point, I am happy to announce that, following the quarterly closing date, we have taken over the remaining 67% of Mexican intelligent transportation systems (ITS) company SIMEX. Kapsch TrafficCom was already in possession of 33% of the company since 2012. With more than 30 years on the market and 255 employees, SIMEX is an important player in the Mexican ITS market.

Solid Balance Sheet.

Net credit: EUR 13.4 million. The free cash flow of the first quarter was negative at EUR -4,3 million. Consequently, the net credit of EUR 19.6 million on March 31, 2017, also sank to a still rock-solid EUR 13.4 million on June 30, 2017. In the same period, the equity ratio rose from 35.0% to 36.2%.

Even though the results of the first quarter of 2017/18 were not satisfactory from my point of view, I am convinced that we are on the right path. Potential improvements have been recognized and are being implemented. And promising new business opportunities are being processed by our teams with their full commitment.

Sincerely,

Georg Kapsch Chief Executive Officer

Analysis of the Results and Balance Sheet Q1 2017/18.

Revenues and earnings.

Revenues by segment. (in EUR million)

In the first quarter of the current fiscal year 2017/18, revenues of Kapsch TrafficCom amounted to EUR 164.3 million and as such were 7.9% higher than in the equivalent period of the previous year (Q1 2016/17: EUR 152.3 million). Fortunately, both the Electronic Toll Collection (ETC) and the Intelligent Mobility Solutions (IMS) segments recorded an increase in revenues.

The EMEA region (Europe, the Middle East and Africa) generated 64.9% of the overall revenues. The Americas region (North and South America) experienced growth primarily as a result of the acquisition of the KTT business in the previous year, generating 29.6% of the Group's revenues. The APAC region (Asia-Pacific) contributed 5.5% towards the overall total.

The operating result (EBIT), at EUR 11.7 million, was below the previous year's figure of EUR 17.6 million. This corresponds to an EBIT margin of 7.1% (Q1 2016/17: 11.6%). Negative currency effects, primarily from the EUR/USD and EUR/ZAR currency bundles, impacted the EBIT in the amount of EUR -3.8 million compared to EUR -1.4 million in the equivalent period of the previous year. In the first quarter 2016/17, a onetime effect ("badwill") had a positive effect in the amount of EUR 3.0 million (the difference between the purchase price for KTT and the value of the acquired net assets, on the basis of a purchase price allocation).

The financial result deteriorated from EUR -0.3 million to EUR -2.3 million in the first quarter of the current fiscal year compared to the previous year. This was mainly due to higher currency losses and lower currency gains of EUR -1.5 million in total. The currency differences are mainly due to the South African rand (ZAR) and the US dollar (USD) compared to the euro (EUR).

The profit for the period in the first quarter 2017/18 amounted to EUR 6.6 million (first quarter 2016/17: EUR 12.4 million). This reduction of -46.7% compared to the same period of the previous year is due to the lower EBIT as well as the worse financial results.

The segments' performance in the first quarter was as follows:

Electronic Toll Collection (ETC).

The largest share of the revenues (EUR 86.0 million, Q1 2016/17: EUR 75.9 million) was once more attributable to the EMEA region with the nationwide road toll collection projects in the Czech Republic, Poland, Belarus and Austria. Additionally, the volume of design & build projects significantly increased compared to the equivalent period of the previous year, in particular through expansion and renewal projects in Poland and Austria.

Revenues in the Americas region increased over the first quarter to EUR 29.9 million (Q1 2016/17: EUR 26.0 million), with this positive development primarily being attributable to the US projects previously acquired in conjunction with KTT. The volume of design & build projects rose compared to the equivalent period of the previous year.

In the APAC region, revenues declined (EUR -3.0 million) during the equivalent period of the previous year, mainly due to the comparatively high level of revenues generated due to construction projects in Australia in the last fiscal year.

The number of on-board units sold in the first quarter of the fiscal year amounted to 2.94 million (Q1 2016/17: 2.84 million units). Increases were recorded above all in the US, Australia, Morocco and Norway, while the sales figures of Spain, Russia and Chile fell as compared to the equivalent period of the previous year. Overall, revenues of on-board units increased compared to the first quarter of the previous year (+3.5%).

ETC revenues: EUR 123.4 million (+9.7%).

ETC revenues by region.

The breakdown of the revenues generated by this segment according to business type is as follows:

in EUR million Q1 2016/17 Q1 2017/18 +/-
Revenue 112.4 123.4 9.7%
Design & Build 19.8 27.1 37.2%
Operations 68.7 69.8 1.7%
Components 24.0 26.4 10.1%
EBIT 18.1 14.6 -19.3%

The EBIT of the ETC segment decreased by -19.3% from the comparative period and reached a value of EUR 14.6 million. In particular, other operating income decreased by EUR -6.0 million compared to the equivalent period of the previous year, which included proceeds from a legal dispute in the amount of EUR 1.5 million in the previous year and a badwill of EUR 0.9 million. Cost of materials and other production services, staff costs and other operating expenses increased in the first quarter of fiscal year 2017/18 to the comparable period, reflecting EUR 14.6 million (-19.3%).

Intelligent Mobility Solutions (IMS).

higher sales.

The revenues generated by the IMS segment increased slightly to EUR 40.9 million (Q1 2016/17: EUR 39.8 million, +2.7%). While revenues in the EMEA region decreased (-16.5%), revenues in the Americas region rose sharply (+37.7%). Revenues in the APAC region remained at the previous year's level.

The breakdown of the revenues generated by this segment according to business type is as follows:

in EUR million Q1 2016/17 Q1 2017/18 +/-
Revenue 39.8 40.9 2.7%
Design & Build 14.6 18.6 27.0%
Operations 22.3 20.1 -9.9%
Components 2.9 2.2 -23.3%
EBIT -0.5 -2.9 -440.6%

The EBIT in the IMS segment amounted to EUR -2.9 million and was well below the previous year's figure (Q1 2016/17: EUR -0.5 million). In particular, the negative results in South Africa and from the smart parking business in the US impact the profitability of the segment. In the previous year, the badwill from the KTT acquisition had a positive effect of EUR 2.1 million on the segment. Cost of materials and other production services, staff costs and other operating expenses increased in the first quarter of fiscal year 2017/18 to the comparable period, reflecting higher sales.

Financial position.

The total assets of Kapsch TrafficCom amounted to EUR 643.0 million as of the balance sheet date, June 30, 2017 (March 31, 2017: EUR 648.8 million).

The item "trade receivables and other current assets" increased by EUR +4.6 million, mainly due to higher receivables from orders in progress in Austria and the Czech Republic. The increase in trade receivables in Poland and South Africa more than compensated for the decline in Belarus. The item "cash and cash equivalents" deteriorated (EUR -6.5 million) and the positions of "property, plant and equipment" and "intangible assets" (EUR -3.6 million) declined slightly due to lower investments.

On the liabilities side of the balance sheet, "current provisions" fell by EUR 4.0 million as well as "other non-current liabilities" by EUR 4.1 million. "Trade payables" declined slightly (EUR -3.5 million). On the other hand, "equity" rose to EUR 232.6 million (EUR +5.3 million) according to the "total comprehensive income for the period" (EUR 5.3 million). The equity ratio also increased from 35.0% in the first quarter of the previous year to 36.2% in the first quarter of 2017/18.

Net working capital increased from EUR 247.9 million as at March 31, 2017 to EUR 256.5 million as at June 30, 2017. "Current tax payables" were now included in the calculation of the net working capital in line with "current tax receivables".

ETC-EBIT:

IMS revenues:

EUR 40.9 million (+2.7%). IMS revenues by region.

IMS-EBIT: EUR -2.9 million (-440.6%). Net credit provided by cash and cash equivalents plus other current financial assets and less financial liabilities, amounted to EUR 13.4 million as at June 30, 2017 (EUR -6.2 million compared to March 31, 2017).

Cash flow.

Net cash flow from operating activities in the first quarter of the fiscal year amounted to EUR -3.0 million (first quarter 2016/17: EUR 20.4 million). The decline compared to the previous year is due to the lower results in the reporting period (EUR -5.9 million) and the increase in "trade receivables and other current assets" (EUR 4.6 million) as well as the decline in "current provisions" (EUR 4.0 million). "Net payments of income taxes" also rose by EUR 7.0 million compared to the previous year.

Net cash flow from investing activities amounted to EUR -1.3 million in the first quarter of 2017/18, which is significantly more positive than in the first quarter of 2016/17. In the equivalent period of the previous year, net cash flow from investing activities amounted to EUR -25.4 million, while EUR -16.6 million were attributable to the acquisitions of the first quarter. As a result of the acquisition and integration of KTT, net investments in property, plant and equipment and intangible assets of EUR -7.2 million were above the value of the current fiscal year.

Free cash flow (net cash flow from operating activities minus net investments) was negative at EUR -4.3 million and was well below the previous year's figure of EUR 13.9 million, mainly due to the development of the result, the increase in receivables as well as the decrease in provisions and higher tax payments. The lower investments on the other hand relieve the free cash flow.

Net cash flow from financing activities as at June 30, 2017 amounted to EUR 0.4 million. In the previous year this position was influenced by the achieved funds from the issuance of the promissory note bond. In the first quarter of the previous year, net cash flow from financing activities amounted to EUR 55.5 million, which included a paid purchase price component for the remaining shares in the Czech Kapsch Telematic Services (EUR -14.0 million) in addition to the issuance of the promissory note bond.

Cash and cash equivalents amounted to EUR 204.8 million as of June 30, 2017 (March 31, 2017: EUR 211.3 million).

Events occurring after June 30, 2017.

On July 18, 2017, Kapsch TrafficCom AG purchased the remaining 67% of the Mexican company SIMEX Integración de Sistemas S.A.P.I. De C.V., Mexico. Up to now, Kapsch TrafficCom held 33% of the shares and recorded the company as an associated company using the equity method. The purchase price for the remaining 67% of the shares was MXN 43 million (approximately EUR 2.1 million).

The effects from the decrease of shares in subsidiaries in the first quarter of the fiscal year 2017/18 relate to TMT Services and Supplies (Pty) Ltd., South Africa, MobiServe Pty Ltd., South Africa, as well as to Electronic Toll Collection (PTY) Ltd, South Africa. A total of 17.1% of the shares of TMT Services and Supplies (Pty) Ltd., South Africa, was distributed indirectly via MobiServe Pty Ltd., South Africa, to an "Employee Participation Scheme Trust", in which all group employees in South Africa on a voluntary basis can participate in the company success of the TMT.

Selected Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Information.

1 General information.

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

The Group operates in 2 segments:

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

The 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 nationwide 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 ETC services offered by Kapsch TrafficCom.

The 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 rounds off the range of IMS services offered by Kapsch TrafficCom.

2 Basis of preparation.

This condensed interim financial information for the quarter ended June 30, 2017 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 statemtents for the year ended March 31, 2017.

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 thousand euro (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 are consistent with those of the annual financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2017, and described therein.

In the condensed interim financial information for the first quarter of the current fiscal year 2017/18 the following new or amended IFRS and IFRIC have been adopted:

New/adopted IFRS Published by the
IASB and adopted
by the EU
Applicable to
financial years
beginning on or after
Material impact on
group's consolidated
financial statement
IAS 12 Income Tax (Amended by Recognition of Deferred Tax Assets for

IAS 7 Cash Flow (Amendment) January 2016 January 1, 2017 none
IFRS 12 Annual improvement to IFRS (Cycle 2014-2016): Disclosure of
Interests in Other Entities (clarified the scope of the standard)
December 2016 January 1, 2017 none

Adoption of the new/amended standards did not result in any significant effects on the condensed consolidated interim financial information.

4 Material accounting estimates and assumptions.

In the context of its preparation of the report on the first quarter of the year, the Group has made 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 consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2017 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 of assets and liabilities can be found in note 12.

5 Risk management.

The financial risks to which Kapsch TrafficCom is exposed are generally consistent with those of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2017 and are described therein.

8 Income taxes.

Income taxes relate to current taxes and to deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities. Applying the Austrian corporate tax rate of 25% to the Group's pre-tax result gives rise to the theoretical value for the tax expense/income. The effective tax expense/income differs from the above due to, among others, different tax regimes in the various countries, the treatment of tax losses, tax allowances and permanent differences.

Shares in associates.

LLC National operator of telematic services.

On December 3, 2015, together with a partner, the Group founded the Russian company LLC National operator of telematics services and holds an interest of 49%. The company is classified as an associated company. Therefore the investment is accounted for using the equity method. As of June 30, 2017, the book value of the interest amounts to TEUR 0 (June 30, 2016: TEUR 0).

Fair value-hierarchies and determination of fair value.

Financial assets and liabilities have to be classified in 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 observable direct or indirect 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.

Specific valuation techniques used to value financial instruments include:

  • quoted market prices or dealer quotes for similar instruments;
  • 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 back to present value;
  • other techniques, such as discounted cash flow analysis, are used to determine fair value for the remaining financial instruments;

Level 3: Financial instruments are included in Level 3 if the valuation information is not based on observable market data.

The classification of current and non-current financial assets is as follows:

As of June 30, 2017, trade receivables and other current assets include derivative financial instruments that are measured at fair value through profit or loss amounting to TEUR 86 (June 30, 2016: TEUR 54) and derivative financial instruments designated as cash flow hedges amounting to TEUR 27 (June 30, 2016: TEUR 0).

As of June 30, 2017, other current liabilities and accruals include derivative financial instruments that are measured at fair value through profit or loss amounting to TEUR -139 (June 30, 2016: TEUR -704) and derivative financial instruments designated as cash flow hedges amounting to TEUR -1 (June 30, 2016: TEUR 0).

The change in financial instruments designated as cash flow hedges has been reported in other comprehensive income. The derivative financial instruments are classified under Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

Termination benefits.

This item primarily comprises legal and contractual claims for the payment of one-off termination benefits on the part of employees in Austria or their dependents, with such claims arising, in particular, upon the termination by the employer of an employee's employment, an amicable termination of an employee's employment, or the retirement or death of an employee. Where any such obligations to make such termination payments exist, the Group will bear the risk of inflation associated with salary adjustments resulting in larger amounts of such termination benefits. In the case of employees having entered the employ of Kapsch TrafficCom in Austria after December 31, 2002, contributions are made into an external employee pension fund on a monthly basis, with the result that the Group will not generally be subject to any obligations to make termination payments with regard to such employees.

Pension benefits.

The reported pension obligations relate solely to retired employees. All pension arrangements are based on the final salary, take the form of monthly pension benefits and are not covered by any external plan assets (funds). The Group bears the risk of longevity and rising pensions in this connection. Furthermore, contributions are paid into an external pension fund by way of voluntary social benefits on behalf of active employees of the Group.

17 Contingent liabilities and other commitments.

Most of the contingent liabilities of Kapsch TrafficCom result from largescale projects, with the remainder relating to both performance guarantees and warranty obligations, sureties and performance bonds issued by Kapsch TrafficCom, as well as guarantees and bid bonds issued by third parties (usually banks or loan insurance companies). Where contractual obligations are not complied with, there will be a risk of corresponding claims being brought by the customer in question, and the bank or insurance company will have a right of recourse against the Group in such a case.

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