For the Kapsch TrafficCom Group, the first three quarters of the 2014/15 fiscal year were marked not only by further development of the operations side of the Group's business but in particular by important organizational and strategic shifts throughout the entire Group. The measures we have initiated in recent months represent the cornerstone for our Program 2020. At the same time, they are focused on our goal for the coming fiscal year of significantly increasing our profitability.
Projects and markets. We made good progress on our installation projects during the reporting period, and the existing operation projects continued to provide stable contributions to revenue and earnings. The volume of on-board units sold also increased again significantly following seasonal delays in the U.S.A. Kapsch TrafficCom additionally obtained several new orders in Australia during the third quarter. These orders, which amount in total to EUR 30 million, will be carried out in the current and following fiscal year. However, new major orders –
upon which our innovation and growth plans are based – remained elusive due to a lack of large invitations to tender.
Asset, financial and earnings situation. As a result of these factors, our revenue in the first three quarters of the current fiscal year was slightly below the same period of the previous year at EUR 349.5 million. The operating result (EBIT) increased to EUR 23.7 million. This is a significant improvement over EUR 8.6 million in the comparison period of the previous year even despite one-time costs from the current measures and the lack of new projects that left our segment Road Solution Projects operating at a loss. In particular, a positive impact was made by the operation projects in Belarus and South Africa, which have now been in operation for over one year. The one-time effects that were recognized on the balance sheet after the first half of the fiscal year can also be seen in this increase in the operating result. Above all, however, the increase reflects the initial successes of our cost reduction efforts.
In the area of finance costs, we were once again forced to record an impairment of our stake in Q-Free ASA in the third quarter, just as in the first two quarters of the fiscal year. The total extent of this impairment during the reporting period was EUR 18.5 million, and as a result, the profit per share remains negative at EUR -0.36.
Overall, the balance sheet of the Kapsch TrafficCom Group reflects a continual improvement in the reporting period. The equity ratio rose to 41.0%, the net debt has been halved since the start of the current fiscal year and cash and cash equivalents reached EUR 94.8 million at the end of the third quarter. The net working capital declined significantly, and our free cash flow for the period was EUR 59.4 million. These figures naturally also reflect that we currently have no new large installation projects to finance.
Program 2020. In the past months, we have developed an intensive agenda encompassing the entire Kapsch TrafficCom Group that will quickly improve the profitability of our existing business while also setting out a long-term strategy that envisages a growth course for Kapsch TrafficCom. As planned, we have now identified all associated measures and immediately initiated their implementation. One of the key pillars of Program 2020 consists of the cost savings that we are realizing in the areas of staff costs as well as non-personnel-costs. We have also further sharpened our portfolio in the area of intelligent transportation systems (ITS).
The first successes of this group-wide program can already be seen in the operating result. We are therefore confident of achieving our defined goal. For the coming 2015/16 fiscal year, this means generating an EBIT margin of roughly 10% on the basis of a cost structure corresponding to the current level of revenue. We view this level as a basis for calculation, but we will naturally continue to strive for further growth.
The 2014/15 fiscal year will come to a close in a few weeks. Together with the annual results, we will offer you in June a detailed overview of the measures we have undertaken, the savings we have achieved and our goals for the coming years. We expect that the first effects of the intensive program will be discernible in the results, and we hope to distribute dividends again in contrast to the previous year.
In the coming months, we will continue our existing projects, and we also expect a further expansion of our toll systems as extensions are in planning both
in Belarus and in Poland. In addition, several new ITS systems are approaching their decision phases, including one large project.
While the market for toll systems has been marked in recent years by delays and project cancellations, the topic of tolling is seeing renewed interest in Europe. Among other indications, the discussion in Germany demonstrates the continued existence of the major trend of financing the maintenance and expansion of infrastructure – an important market driver. We also remain engaged in our own active discussions with potential toll system customers and expect these efforts to lead to successes as well.
Sincerely,
Georg Kapsch Chief Executive Officer

The revenues of the Kapsch TrafficCom Group were EUR 349.5 million in the first three quarters of the current fiscal year 2014/15 (2014/15 Q1-Q3), down by 1.6% from the same period of the previous fiscal year (2013/14 Q1-Q3: EUR 355.0 million). Revenues increased in the Services, System Extensions, Components Sales (SEC) segment as well as in the Others (OTH) segment but fell significantly short of the same period of the previous year in the Road Solution Projects (RSP) segment.
Revenues by segment in the first three quarters were as follows:
The number of on-board units sold amounted to 5.6 million (2013/14 Q1-Q3: 6.8 million). It should be noted here that the initial delivery for the nationwide toll project in Belarus took place in the comparison period of the previous year. The lower sales figures during the first two quarters of the reporting period due to delays in North America were compensated in parts in the third quarter. The volume sold in France and Russia increased, and on-board units were also sold to Norway for the first time.
¾ In the segment Others (OTH), revenue amounted in the first three quarters of 2014/15 to EUR 17.6 million (2013/14 Q1-Q3: EUR 14.4 million). This increase resulted from the production and deliveries for the GSM-R project of Kapsch CarrierCom and the revenues of Transdyn, Inc., which was acquired in the previous year and now bears the name KTC USA Inc., U.S.A.
In the first three quarters of the current fiscal year, the Kapsch TrafficCom Group reported an operating result (EBIT) of EUR 23.7 million, which was significantly higher than the comparison period of the previous year (2013/14 Q1-Q3: EUR 8.6 million). The operating results by segment were as follows:
¾The segment RSP recorded an EBIT of EUR -37.4 million during the reporting period after EUR -26.0 million in the first three quarters of the previous year. The decline in the EBIT associated with this segment is due to the lower revenue contributions. In consequence, it was also not possible to sufficiently cover the expenditures for development and preparatory work for potential tenders as well as expenditures for ongoing tenders attributed to this segment. In addition, the EBIT of the segment was weighed down in the second quarter by a goodwill impairment to the cash-generating unit "Road Solution Projects, Electronic Toll Collection" in the amount of EUR 12.3 million. The results were improved by the release of a provision for losses from pending transactions and follow-up work in the amount of EUR 16.1 million already on 30 September 2014 due to changed circumstances.
¾The segment SEC achieved an EBIT of EUR 60.0 million (2013/14 Q1-Q3: EUR 33.9 million). This positive development compared with the same period of the previous year was due in part to the fact that the operation projects in Belarus and South Africa contributed for the entire reporting period. In addition, a solution for compensation of the costs arising from maintaining the operational readiness of the system was reached with the customer of the South African project in the second quarter. This one-time effect amounts to EUR 5.5 million.
¾The segment OTH exhibited an EBIT of EUR 1.2 million (2013/14 Q1-Q3: EUR 0.7 million).
The financial result decreased from EUR -10.4 million in the comparison period of the previous year to EUR -14.1 million. The finance income increased due to compounding of the receivables from the installation of the Belorussian toll system (EUR 4.5 million) as well as not yet realized foreign exchange gains (EUR 2.1 million).
Due to the continued negative share price developments for the interest in Q-Free ASA, an impairment of EUR 18.5 million was recognized under finance costs as a loss. This amount comprises net losses from share price fluctuations in previous periods (up to 30 June 2014) already recorded previously in equity under other comprehensive income in the amount of EUR 10.6 million as well as the further share price losses incurred in the second and third quarters of the 2014/15 fiscal year in the amount of EUR 7.9 million. The reclassification of these cumulative net losses in the profit for the period led to a significant improvement in other comprehensive income. This weighed down the profit for the period, which nevertheless remains positive at EUR 1.0 million (2013/14 Q1-Q3: EUR -1.3 million). In this context, the profit per share remains negative but did improve from EUR -0.40 in the comparison period to EUR -0.36.
The balance sheet total on 31 December 2014 of EUR 509.5 million was lower than at the end of the 2013/14 fiscal year (31 March 2014: EUR 566.8 million). The total equity of EUR 209.0 million was slightly below the comparison value on 31 March 2014 of EUR 213.1 million. Due to the lower balance sheet total, the equity ratio of the Kapsch TrafficCom Group improved from 37.6% on 31 March 2014 to 41.0% on 31 December 2014.
The most significant changes in assets involved the non-current assets. Other non-current assets also decreased by EUR 24.5 million due primarily to the reclassification of a portion of the non-current receivables from the Belorussian installation project as current trade receivables. The intangible assets declined by EUR 16.9 million, largely due to the goodwill impairment in the amount of EUR 12.3 million. Under current assets, the trade receivables fell by EUR 28.1 million and the inventories by EUR 7.7 million, largely as a result of the project business.
The largest changes in the liabilities resulted from the decrease in current provisions by EUR 19.7 million, primarily due to the release of the provision for losses from pending transactions and follow-up work in the amount of EUR 16.1 million. The decline in trade payables by EUR 13.0 million arose from the project business. The repayment of the financing for construction of the nationwide electronic truck toll system in Belarus lowered the non-current financial liabilities by EUR 15.5 million.
Net cash flow from operating activities was EUR 64.6 million, compared to EUR -19.9 million in the same period of the previous fiscal year. This increase can be attributed to the decrease in current and non-current receivables and assets as well as the good operating result; the decline in trade liabilities and the release of the provision exerted an opposing influence here. The cash flow from investing activities was impacted during the first three quarters of the 2014/15 fiscal year by further investments in the expansion of IT hardware. The free cash flow developed extraordinarily well and was positive at EUR 59.4 million. In the comparison period of the previous year, the free cash flow was negative at EUR -31.7 million. The decrease in the current and non-current financial liabilities primarily from project financing led to a negative net cash flow from financing activities of EUR -21.7 million.
Cash and cash equivalents increased from EUR 57.7 million on 31 March 2014 to EUR 94.8 million on 31 December 2014. The decrease in non-current financial liabilities and the increase in cash and cash equivalents led to a decline in net debt from EUR -93.4 million on 31 March 2014 to EUR -43.5 million on 31 December 2014.
No significant events have occurred since 31 December 2014.

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. The disproportionate high tax rate in the third quarter of the fiscal year 2014/15 is due to the non-tax effective impairments (goodwill impairment and impairment Q-Free ASA).

The unrealized gains/losses on available-for-sale financial assets recognized in the third quarter of the fiscal year 2014/15 amounting to TEUR -2.679 relate to fair value changes on the investment in Q-Free ASA, Trondheim, Norway. Due to the ongoing unfavorable development of the share price in the first half of fiscal year 2014/15 these net losses, together with net losses that have been recognized through other comprehensive income in equity in the amount of TEUR 9,506 up to 31 March 2014, were recognized as impairment in the result for the period (TEUR 12,185; reclassification from other comprehensive income to the result of the period). Further net losses occurring after the recognition of the impairment as of 30 September 2014 were recognized immediately in the result for the period (TEUR 6,339).
