Georg Kapsch, Chief Executive Offi cer Erwin Toplak, Chief Operating Offi cer
I am delighted to report that Kapsch Traffi cCom considerably increased its adjusted EBIT for the fi rst three quarters of the current fi scal year 2007/08: at EUR 18.6 million it was up 89 % compared to the same period of the previous fi scal year (EUR 9.9 million). The volatility of the project business and the Road Solution Projects (RSP) segment in particular together with large projects that were ultimately non awarded led to a decline in revenues in the fi rst nine months of 2007/08 compared to the same period during the previous fi scal year, down 12 % from EUR 140.9m to EUR 123.6m. The doubling of the EBIT margin from 7 % in the fi rst three quarters of the previous fi scal year to 14 % in the same period during the current fi scal year is particularly encouraging.
While revenue in the segment were down from EUR 85.6 million in the same period a year earlier to EUR 30.7 million, the performance of the SEC (Services, System Extensions, Components Sales) segment was particularly strong, with a 87 % jump in revenues from EUR 45.4 million to EUR 84.9 million and an increased EBIT from EUR 9.0 million to EUR 15.9 million (up 77 %). This was primarily attributable to recurring revenues from the technical and commercial operation of the nationwide truck tolling system in the Czech Republic and a high volume of components sales.

Revenues in SEC segment in fi rst three quarters compared to fi rst three quarters of previous year up 87 % to EUR 84.9m and EBIT up 77 % to EUR 15.9m
With respect to the consolidated balance sheet, I would like to point out that we continued improving net assets to EUR 35.8 million as of 31 December 2007 (EUR -12.5 million as of 31 March 2007) and total equity to EUR 116.2 million as of 31 December 2007 (31 March 2007: EUR 45.6 million) with an equity ratio of 40.7 % (31 March 2007: 20.1 %).
On 28 December 2007, we could successfully close the negotiations between the Czech Ministry of Transport (CZ MoT) and the consortium led by Kapsch Traffi cCom (Kapsch consortium) with the conclusion of the contract for the supply and for the operation of the microwave technology based tolling system in the Czech Republic. The amendment formalizes the content of the second phase of construction of the nationwide electronic truck tolling system in the Czech Republic in a sense that the system shall be extended to another approximately 1,000 km of future motorways, the construction or extension of which is scheduled to begin by the end of 2017, instead of to the originally planned approximately 1,000 km of 1st class roads.
As of January 1, 2008, the Kapsch consortium extended the existing truck tolling system by 37 toll gantries to cover about 180 km of selected 1st class roads mainly used by international transit traffi c.
The distance-related tolls are to be extended to cover all vehicles of 3.5 tonnes or more by January 1, 2009, according to the CZ MoT's most current plans. Kapsch Traffi cCom Construction & Realisation, supplier of the tolling system in the Czech Republic, will make the necessary adaptations to the existing system and ensure supply of another 350,000 onboard units (OBUs).
For the extended use of the tolling system, the Kapsch consortium has now been charged with the implementation of the interface for a future satellite-based toll collection system on 1st class, 2nd class and 3rd class roads as well as with the supply of an interface for telematic applications and the implementation of a traffi c regulation system for the D1 motorway route. Further the service agreement has been extended to 10 years.
Adaptations and additions to the tolling system are expected to cost about CZK 3 billion, in which Czech sub-contractors will participate to a high degree.
With respect to the nationwide electronic truck tolling system in Slovakia, I may report that after the settlement of two claims the tender is now continued. The tender comprises the installation of an electronic multi-lane free-fl ow (MLFF) system including 13 years of operation intended for the toll collection on vehicles above 3.5 tonnes on a road network of approximately 2.400 kilometres with a start of operation as of 1 January 2009. The presentation of the offers and the bid opening is scheduled for 13 March 2008. A decision is announced for end of April 2008.
On 21 December 2007, we were offi cially informed by the principal Közlekedésfejlesztési Koordinációs Központ (KKK) that the tender process for the installation and operation of the Electronic Toll Collection (ETC) system in Hungary was discontinued. At the time of the discontinuation, we and two other bidding consortia were already prequalified. From our Net assets further increased to EUR 35.8m and total equity to EUR 116.2m as of 31 December 2007

current point of view, this means a postponement and presumably a modifi cation of the tender as regards content rather than a fi nal cancellation.
Assuming that economies worldwide continue to perform satisfactorily, and given the growing interest around the world in tolling systems and road traffi c telematics, we take a thoroughly optimistic view of our future prospects.
With all best wishes
Georg Kapsch

Revenues in the fi rst three quarters of the current fi scal year 2007/08 were EUR 123.6 million down 12 % of the EUR 140.9 million recorded in the same period of the previous fi scal year. This decrease was primarily attributable to the volatility of our project business and developments particularly in the Road Solution Projects (RSP) segment, which is also visible from the segment analysis.
Revenues by segment in the fi rst nine month were as follows:
In the fi rst three quarters of 2007/08, Kapsch Traffi cCom recorded EBIT up 79 % from EUR 9.9 million in the previous year to EUR 17.7 million, adjusted by non-recurring items up 89 % from EUR 9.9 million in the previous year to EUR 18.6 million. This is refl ected in the signifi cant increase in profi tability and an improvement in the EBIT margin from 7 % to 14 %. EBIT by segment was as follows:
In the fi rst three quarters of the fi scal year 2007/08, Kapsch Traffi cCom recorded a profi t after tax up 64 % from EUR 8.4 million in the previous year to EUR 13.8 million. The current fi scal year includes income taxes of EUR 7.4 million compared to EUR 2.7 million in the previous fi scal year. This increase is attributable to the improvement in the profi t and to a tax rate above average due to a specifi c local provision in a subsidiary (profi ts according to tax law deviate from profi ts in accordance with IFRS).
With total assets of EUR 285.5 million (as of 31 December 2007) and total equity of EUR 116.2 million (as of 31 December 2007), the Company's equity ratio as of 31 December 2007 was 40.7 % (31 March 2007: 20.1 %) . After deduction of all associated expenses, the initial public offering raised EUR 65 million, which contributed to improving liquidity. Net debt as of 31 March 2007 in an amount of EUR 12.5 million was transformed into net assets of EUR 35.8 million as of 31 December 2007, in particular due to the fi rst instalment from the implementation of the nationwide electronic truck tolling system in the Czech Republic (phase I) in the amount of EUR 30.8 million received on 1 October 2007. According to the payment plan, the next instalment of another 25 % is scheduled for the end of September 2008. Net cash from operating activities improved from EUR -17.1m to EUR -2.6m including net payments from income tax of EUR 5.9 million compared to EUR 0.9 million in the same period of the previous fi scal year.
As of 31 December 2007, Kapsch TrafficCom held cash and short-term securities in an amount of EUR 64.4 million. This reserve in liquidity serves as a basis to finance future projects or strategic acquisitions of companies.
The Kapsch Traffi cCom AG share closed the previous quarter (FY08-Q2 as of 30 September 2007) at EUR 38.49 up 20,3 % compared with the offer price per share of EUR 32.00 on 26 June 2007. With the beginning of the third quarter of 2007/08 (FY08-Q3) the share price experienced a decline due to the overall situation of the stock market and closed on 20 November 2007 for the fi rst time below the offer price per share at the time of the initial public offering. Until 5 December 2007 the price per share recovered to EUR 35.85 (closing price) and closed the third quarter at EUR 34.94 (closing price). Thus, the price per share decreased by approximately 11.1 % compared with the closing price of the previous quarter. Since the initial public offering, the price of the share has climbed 9.2 %, as of 31 December 2007, while the ATX Prime was down about 12.4 %.
Based on a closing price of EUR 34.94 per share as of 31 December 2007 and the number of outstanding shares in circulation unchanged at 12.2 million, Kapsch Traffi cCom's market capitalization as of the end of the third quarter of the fi scal half year was EUR 426.3m. The ownership structure remained unchanged during the period under review: 30.3 % of the shares were in free fl oat, whereas the remaining 69.7 % continued to be held by KAPSCH-Group Beteiligungs GmbH. Schroder Investment Management Limited informed us, that as of 15 August 2007 it held 5.12 % of the Kapsch Traffi cCom AG voting rights.

The income statement for the fi rst three quarters of FY08 includes one-off costs resulting from the IPO in the amount of TEUR 963. There were no comparable costs in the fi rst three quarters of FY07.
Income tax expense is recognised on management's best estimate of the weighted average annual income tax rate expected for the full fi nancial year. The estimated tax rate for the third quarter FY08 used is 35 % (the estimated tax rate for the third quarter FY07 was 24 %). This difference is attributable to specifi c local provisions in a subsidiary concerning fi nancial precautions (accruals and deferrals) that are not included in the assessment basis and thus effect an increase in the corresponding corporate tax rate.
Earnings per share attributable to equity holders of the company arises from continuing and discontinued operations as follows:
| FY08-Q3 cum. | FY07-Q3 cum. | |
|---|---|---|
| Earnings per share for profi t from continuing operations attributable to the equity holders of the company (expressed in EUR per share) |
1.03 | 0.85 |
| Earnings per share for profi t from discontinuing operations attributable to the equity holders of the company (expressed in EUR per share) |
0.00 | -0.10 |
Earnings per share in FY08-Q3 related to 12.2 million shares, in FY07-Q3 related to 10.0 million shares.
