ECONOMIC FRAMEWORK CONDITIONS

All three largest automotive markets – Western Europe, the USA and China – expanded significantly in the first half-year 2014. The whole Western European passenger car market increased by 5% to 6.4 million units. New car registrations in the new EU Member States exceeded the previous year's level by 17%. In the USA, passenger cars sales rose by almost 4%. In China, the passenger car market grew by 14.5%, whereas in Brazil, India and Russia, new car sales were below the previous year's level in the first half-year 2014. In the period under review, global demand for mid-sized and heavy trucks with a gross weight of more than six tons was significantly above the pervious year's level, increasing by 5.7% to 105,405 units. In Germany, Western Europe's largest market. sales rose considerably by 19.4% year-on-year. Significant growth, in particular in Germany and Spain (41.4%), compensated for the decline in demand, amongst others in France (-6.7%) and UK (-26.5%).

GROUP RESULTS

POYLTEC GROUP's total sales increased by 2.4% to EUR 238.5 million in the first half 2014. Sales in the passenger car business segment rose by 9.8% to EUR 156.4 million. All POLYTEC GROUP's relevant customers for series production – VW Car, BMW Group as well as DAIMLER Car – contributed to this increase. In the commercial vehicle area, sales dropped by 10.6% to EUR 59.0 million mainly due a reduction of call-off orders by DAIMLER Truck. In the case of this customer, a decline in sales of 40% was registered in the period under review due to a partial model change (EURO 5 / EURO 6), which requires a considerably lower amount of components supplied by the POLYTEC GROUP, as explained in the interim report for the first quarter 2014. Group EBIT decreased by 8.2% to EUR 9.0 million in the first half 2014. Both the materials and personnel ratios remained at the previous year's level. However, including costs for leased staff, which are shown in other operating expenses, the personnel ratio increased by 0.8 percentage points in the first half of the year. EBIT margin amounted to 3.8% in the first half 2014 (H1 2013: 4.2%). This deterioration in results is mainly attributable to low levels of productivity in single production plants as well as to an increase in other operating expenses as a result of the afore-mentioned intensified use of leased staff along with considerably higher maintenance expenses.

The tax ratio of the POLYTEC GROUP amounted to 19.2% at the end of the period under review. This corresponds to an increase of 1. 2 percentage points compared to the previous year. The tax ratio for the full year 2013 was 21.5%. All in all, the POLYTEC GROUP reported a net result of EUR 6.9 million in the first half 2014. This corresponds to earnings per share of EUR 0.30.

Additions to fixed assets increased by EUR 2.4 million to EUR 11.7 million in the period under review. The resulting difference of EUR 1.6 million between fixed asset additions and capital expenditures is to be attributed to lease financing of injection molding equipment.

At the end of the first half 2014, the balance sheet total rose slightly by EUR 0.7 million to EUR 273.8 million. The equity ratio increased by 0.3 percentage points to 50.5% compared to the balance sheet date as of December 31, 2013. Dividend payments totaling EUR 6.1 million in the second quarter of the year led to a reduction of the equity capital.

The company's treasury shares, acquired within the framework of a share buy-back program, remained unchanged at EUR 1.7 million or 310,541 shares compared to the balance sheet date as of December 31, 2013.

Net financial assets decreased by EUR 6.4 million to EUR 5.2 million compared to the balance sheet date as of December 31, 2013 due to the dividend payments made by the company as well as to capital expenditures.

The net working capital increased by EUR 4.0 million compared to the balance sheet date as of December 31, 2013 due to a decrease in trade accounts payable and income tax liabilities.

Interest-bearing receivables shown in current assets rose by EUR 0.3 million to EUR 12.2 million compared to year-end 2013 due to interests due thereon.

OUTLOOK

For the full year 2014, the POLYTEC GROUP's management expects a stable operating performance. Group sales and the operating result are expected to match the level in 2013. For the coming years, POLY-TEC GROUP expects sales growth mainly driven by organic expansion in the injection molding area based on the production of complex engine and engine compartment components. This should also lead to an improvement of the overall results' quality.
