Dear shareholders, employees and business associates,

When we published our forecast earlier this year, we quoted the image of a perfect storm used by the CEO of ZF Friedrichshafen AG. Sadly, since then there has been virtually no improvement in the overall situation in the sectors served by InTiCa Systems. If you look at the profit warnings issued by Volkswagen, Audi and Mercedes, there is no need for me to tell you that in Passau we are still being buffeted by the storm. The trade policy uncertainty remains high despite the tariff agreement with the USA. All that is clear is that German producers and suppliers face additional costs. Sluggish demand, volatile order offtake and high competitive pressure remain reality.

This situation is also reflected in InTiCa Systems' half-year figures. The downward trend in sales continued in the second quarter, with volumes below the already low expectations, especially in the Industry & Infrastructure segment. Here, Asia had an even stronger influence than some customers had anticipated in advance. In the solar sector, prices are dropping as a consequence of overcapacity by Chinese producers and subdued overall demand.

On the earnings side, the loss increased in the second quarter. However, that does not mean that the action taken to cut costs and optimize productivity is failing to have an effect. Rather, earnings were depressed by non-cash currency losses by our Mexican subsidiary and a temporary rise in reporting and consulting expenses in connection with our transformation. The picture should improve slightly in the second quarter, so at present we are retaining our outlook. That said, EBIT is likely to be at the lower end of the forecast range.

Still, the restructuring measures that have been introduced are bearing fruit: that is best visible from our cash flow. The cash inflow from operating activities increased significantly in the reporting period and was clearly positive in the millioneuro range. Nonetheless, we will not be reducing our efforts; rather, we will continue our endeavours to improve our working capital management and production processes. The agreement with a new trade credit insurer on an additional limit for a major customer supports liquidity and the present multi-year planning is fully financed.

The positive factors in the first six months included slight sales growth in the Mobility segment for the first time for several periods. On the product side, demand for antennas, in particular, is currently stable. New orders for antennas and for plastic components have been received in Mexico. There are also new enquiries about stator coils for hybrid vehicles. In addition, the start-up of a new product could lead to rising volume sales for EMC filters, countering the downward trend seen in recent years.

However, InTiCa Systems' customers face high pressure from Asian competitors. This also applies to power components such as transformer chokes, where demand is expected to remain low. Here, we need to achieve higher value-added and increase the sale of assemblies rather than individual components. In addition, with our new product and sales areas we are stepping up our focus on speciality markets.

Examples are motors for e-bikes, electric drives for actuators in power plants, and maritime applications. The first major orders are about to be placed, initial samples have been delivered and have either already been validated or are in the process of being validated. In principle, the development is definitely moving in the right direction, confirming market potential. However, it is not yet sufficient to offset the weakness of the established markets and some upfront investment is still required.

There is unlikely to be any macroeconomic tailwind for our business development in the second half of the year. In fact, we consider that the global political situation, especially in the area of trade policy, is even graver than at the beginning of the year. Nevertheless, we are convinced that we have taken the right steps, both strategically and in our daily operating business. We are seeing success step by step and this will gradually become visible outside the company as well.

The keys to that are the ideas and commitment of our employees at all sites. We would therefore like to take this opportunity to thank them most sincerely. We would also like to thank all our business partners for their good collaboration and our shareholders for their trust and support.

Passau, August 2025

InTiCa Systems' share price performance1)

While the DAX, TecDAX and DAXsector Technology indices posted very divergent trends in 2024, at the beginning of 2025 all markets trended upward. Prices rose continuously until mid-February, then moved sideways at a high level. Against the background of the global tariff conflicts, a downward trend began in mid-March. This had a particularly adverse effect on technology small caps. In the reporting period, the DAX hit a low of 19,670.88 points on April 9, before embarking on a rally, rising to a high of 24,323.58 points on June 5. It closed the period at 23,909.61 points on June 30, a rise of 20.1% compared with the previous year's closing level. The gains made by the TecDAX and the DAXsector Technology were slightly lower at 13.5% and 13.6% respectively.

Shares in InTiCa started the year at EUR 2.10 and traded sideways in a range of EUR 2.00 to EUR 2.50 in the first weeks of 2025. That was followed by slight correction in mid-February and shares in InTiCa Systems then remained just under EUR 2 until mid-March. The lowest share price in the reporting period was EUR 1.76 on March 5, 2025. Dominated by increasing volatility, shares in InTiCa Systems rose to EUR 4.22 on March 19, 2025, the highest level in the reporting period. The share price subsequently dipped significantly, to its previous level between EUR 2.00 and EUR 2.50. The closing price in XETRA trading was EUR 2.22 on June 30, 2025. InTiCa Systems' market capitalization was therefore EUR 9.5 million at the end of the first six months (December 31, 2024: EUR 8.7 million).

In the first six months of 2025, InTiCa Systems provided timely information for its shareholders and the general public on current business trends, specific events and the company's overall prospects. As in the past, the press conference to mark the publication of the annual report for 2024 attracted considerable interest from analysts and investors. The presentation given at the press conference can be accessed on the company's homepage at Investor Relations [available in German only]. The presentation given at this year's Annual General Meeting on July 8, 2025, which was held virtually again, is also available on the website. At the AGM, shareholders were able to inform themselves about fiscal 2024 and the current situation at InTiCa Systems SE.

Economic report

General economic conditions

Despite the continued high uncertainty, in its latest World Economic Outlook published at the end of July, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) sees an improvement in the global economy. The experts now project that global economic growth will be 3.0% in 2025 (+0.2% compared with their forecast in April). The upward revision is due to greater than anticipated resilience to the international trade conflicts, an improvement in financing conditions and surprisingly good economic data for the first quarter, partly due to stronger than expected front-loading.

India remains a key global growth driver with GDP forecast to rise by 6.4% (+0.2%) in 2025. There was a particularly pronounced rise in the growth forecast for China. The upward revision to 4.8% (+0.8%) reflects the stronger than expected economic performance in the first half of 2025 and the significant reduction in trade tariffs with the USA. The USA is also benefiting from tariffs that are lower than had been feared, with the economy forecasted to grow by 1.9% this year (+0.1%). Nevertheless, according to the IMF demand in the USA is cooling faster than had been anticipated, with the rise in import prices providing a particular cause for concern.

The IMF is also more optimistic for the euro zone following the tariff deal and has raised its growth estimate to 1.0% (+0.2%). However, the German economy remained the laggard among the industrialized nations in terms of growth. Although the forecast for Germany has also been raised slightly, at 0.1% (+0.1%) it remains in the stagnation zone. The billion-euro stimulus package for infrastructure and defence is not yet having a significant effect.

Risks remain tilted to the downside. A breakdown in trade talks or renewed protectionism could dampen growth globally and fuel inflation. Persistent uncertainty may weigh on investment, while geopolitical tensions and fiscal vulnerabilities remain high. Financial conditions have eased, but they could tighten abruptly, especially in case of threats to central bank independence. On the upside, breakthroughs in trade negotiations could boost confidence and structural reforms could lift long term productivity.

Market and market environment

Mobility

The global economic context remains particularly challenging and unpredictable for the automotive industry. The development in the main regions was, however, very different:

With double-digit growth in new registrations, China continued to extend its position as the largest market in the first half of the year. Growth was driven by electric vehicles, which accounted for more than half of the total market at the last count. However, German producers have hardly benefited from this momentum. According to an analysis by PwC, in the first six months of 2025 they sold 32% fewer battery-electric vehicles (BEV) in China than in the first half of 2024.

Unit sales of passenger cars and light commercial vehicles rose slightly by 0.4% in the USA in the reporting period. Electric vehicles were up 7%, with concern about rising customs duties proving a key incentive for purchases. However, the effect of purchases brought forward should now be over and a drop in demand was observed in June.

In Europe, new registrations were down slightly by 1.9% year-on-year in the first half of 2025. Above all, new registrations of petrol and diesel vehicles dropped significantly in all major individual markets. By contrast, according to the PwC figures, sales of electric cars posted a visible 25% rise, partly due to more stringent CO2 thresholds for automotive fleets. The EU market for commercial vehicles was even more challenging than the passenger car market in the reporting period. New van registrations fell by 13.2%, truck registrations dropped by 15.4% and bus registrations declined by 4.4%.

In Germany, new registrations decreased by 5% in the reporting period. Here too, the trend was attributable to conventional vehicles, while the market for electric vehicles posted significant growth. Unlike new registrations, domestic production of cars increased by 4% in the first half of the year, driven by foreign demand, with exports and foreign orders increasing in the first six months. Overall though, order intake remained at the prior-year level. The ifo business climate remained clearly negative at -32.2 points in June 2025. The assessment of business expectations was slightly less negative than the assessment of the current business situation.

Uncertainty remains high despite the tariff agreement with the USA. It is still not clear exactly how the agreement will be structured and how reliable it is. However, in the VDA's view, it is already certain that the German automotive industry faces costs running into billions. It is therefore particularly important for Europe to provide an internationally competitive framework for both investors and companies if it is to regain its relevance and become more attractive again as a location for investment. Moreover, to ensure the stability of supply chains and uninterrupted production and to provide a reliable basis for planning, especially for automotive suppliers, further agreements are necessary with Mexico, Canada and, above all, China.

Industry & Infrastructure

The German electrical/electronics and digital sector association ZVEI presents a relatively subdued outlook for 2025, with real output expected to contract by 2%. This is supported by the development in the first half year: in Germany, price-adjusted real output of electrical and electronic goods dropped by 1.9% year-on-year from January to May. Aggregate sector revenues also fell slightly by 0.4% within this period. While sales with foreign customers increased by 1.8%, domestic sales were 3.1% lower.

However, the signals became increasingly positive in the second quarter: Following a weak start to the year, order intake increased in May for the third consecutive month. That resulted in total order growth of 4.9% in the first five months of 2025. Capacity utilization at companies in the sector increased from 73.4% to 77.8% at the start of the second quarter, although that was still well below the longterm average. At the same time, work on hand increased from 4.0 to 4.2 production months.

Overall, business sentiment in the German electrical/ electronics and digital industry has therefore improved recently. Both the assessment of the present situation and general business expectations were more favourable in June than in the previous month. On balance, general expectations were actually positive again. Only 16% of electronics companies now anticipate a drop in activity in the coming six months, while 20% anticipate that business will improve and 64% expect it to be unchanged. The more specific export expectations were unchanged in June. As in May, the balance was +2 percentage points.

The situation is currently more difficult in the solar sector. Module prices are declining due to the overcapacity of Chinese producers and subdued demand. Although global installations are expected to rise by around 650 GW in 2025, despite the more challenging market conditions, most of this business will be with China. In the USA, in particular, volume sales have plummeted and new installations are also sluggish in Europe. The Federal Network Agency calculates that the net increase in installations in Germany was around 7 GW in the first half of the year, well below the prior-year level of over 8 GW. More than 45% of installations were in January and February. Since then, new legislation has come into force. Among other things, this stipulates that in periods when prices on the electricity exchange are negative, new installations will not receive any remuneration.

Significant events in the reporting period

Following the reduction in the trade credit insurance limit for a major customer in March 2025, an additional limit was agreed with another trade credit insurer in May 2025. This means that receivables from the major customer can once again be sold in full to the existing factor.

There were no other events of material significance for the company or its assets, financial position or results of operations in the reporting period.

Earnings, asset and financial position

Uncertainty remained high in the second quarter, resulting in continued sluggish demand and persistently volatile order offtake. In the Industry & Infrastructure segment, in particular, sales were below expectations. Here, Asia had a stronger influence than some customers had anticipated in advance. In the Mobility segment, by contrast, sales were slightly higher than in the prior-year period. Above all, longterm extensions can be seen as positive. Group-wide, however, a double-digit percentage drop in sales was registered at the end of the first six months. As expected, the positive effect of the new product groups and sales markets was still too low to make a real mark.

On the earnings side, despite continued successful costcutting measures and productivity gains, the reduction in volume sales had a disproportionately high impact in the reporting period. There were several reasons for this: The first that should be mentioned is non-cash currency losses in Mexico. In the first six months, this was compounded by higher consulting expenses for transformation tasks. Overall, EBIT posted a significant minus at the end of the first six months.

That makes the operating cash flow even more pleasing. Despite the negative effect of the loss for the period, cash inflows from operating activities have been clearly positive so far this year. That reflects the efforts to optimize working capital management. As a result of high repayments of principal, which were set against a low level of new debt, the total cash flow was negative despite the reduction in capital expenditure. Therefore, liquidity management still has very high priority. The equity ratio declined slightly in the reporting period but remains at a solid level.

Earnings position

Group sales declined by 12.6% year-on-year to EUR 34.4 million in the first six months of 2025 (H1 2024: EUR 39.4 million). The Industry & Infrastructure segment in particular saw an ongoing downward trend. Sales of EUR 2.4 million correspond to a decline of 70.4% compared to the first half of 2024 (H1 2024: EUR 8.2 million). By contrast, sales in the Mobility segment slightly exceeded the previous year's level at EUR 32.0 million (H1 2024: EUR 31.2 million). The rise compared to the first half of 2024 amounted to 2.6%.

In the reporting period, the sale of materials to a customer negatively affected the cost ratio. However, at 57.2% the ratio of material costs to total output remained at a low level (H1 2024: 54.3%). By contrast, there was a further slight decrease in the personnel expense ratio (including agency staff) from 24.5% to 23.2%. At EUR 5.2 million, other operating expenses were slightly above the prior-year level (H1 2024: EUR 5.1 million). This was mainly due to additional reporting and consulting costs incurred in connection with the ongoing restructuring measures.

Depreciation of property, plant and equipment and amortization of intangible assets amounted to EUR 3.2 million in the reporting period (H1 2024: EUR 3.2 million), and spending on research and development was EUR 1.2 million (H1 2024: EUR 1.5 million). Development work focused principally on new products in the e-solutions business and on innovative solutions for the newly defined business areas.

EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) fell disproportionately year-on-year to EUR 1.9 million (H1 2024: EUR 3.7 million). As a result, the EBITDA margin of 5.6% was below the previous year's level (H1 2024: 9.4%). EBIT (earnings before interest and taxes) was negative at minus EUR 1.3 million (H1 2024: positive EBIT of EUR 0.5 million). At segment level, Mobility reported EBIT of minus EUR 0.7 million in the first six months of 2025 (H1 2024: minus EUR 0.3 million) and the Industry & Infrastructure segment reported EBIT of minus EUR 0.6 million (H1 2024: positive EBIT of EUR 0.7 million).

The financial result was minus EUR 0.8 million in the reporting period (H1 2024: minus EUR 1.0 million). Tax income was EUR 13 thousand in the reporting period (H1 2024: EUR 53 thousand). Group net income was therefore minus EUR 2.1 million in the first six months of 2025 (H1 2024: minus EUR 0.5 million). Earnings per share were minus EUR 0.49 (H1 2024: minus EUR 0.11).

As a result of currency translation gains of EUR 0.2 million (H1 2024: losses of EUR 0.4 million) from the translation of foreign business operations, total comprehensive income was minus EUR 1.9 million in the first six months of 2025 (H1 2024: minus EUR 0.8 million).

Non-current assets

Non-current assets decreased to EUR 30.8 million as of June 30, 2025 (December 31, 2024: EUR 33.0 million), primarily because property, plant and equipment declined from EUR 25.4 million to EUR 23.6 million due to lower capital expenditures. There was also a slight decrease in intangible assets to EUR 4.9 million (December 31, 2024: EUR 5.1 million) and deferred taxes were also slightly lower at EUR 2.3 million (December 31, 2024: EUR 2.4 million).

Current assets

Current assets decreased to EUR 25.4 million as of June 30, 2025 (December 31, 2024: EUR 26.8 million). This was mainly attributable to the drop in inventories to EUR 12.9 million (December 31, 2024: EUR 15.9 million). Tax receivables also decreased slightly from EUR 0.8 million to EUR 0.6 million. By contrast, trade receivables increased from EUR 6.4 million to EUR 8.5 million, other financial assets rose from EUR 0.8 million to EUR 1.1 million and other current receivables increased from EUR 1.0 million to EUR 1.4 million. Cash and cash equivalents totalled EUR 0.9 million on June 30, 2025 (December 31, 2024: EUR 1.9 million).

Liabilities

Current liabilities increased slightly to EUR 30.1 million in the reporting period (December 31, 2024: EUR 29.8 million). This was mainly due to the rise in trade payables from EUR 3.3 million to EUR 3.8 million and to other current financial liabilities, which increased from EUR 2.2 million to EUR 2.7 million. By contrast, financial liabilities decreased from EUR 21.3 million to EUR 20.9 million. Other current liabilities also dropped slightly from EUR 1.6 million to EUR 1.3 million and other current provisions decreased to EUR 1.4 million (December 31, 2024: EUR 1.5 million). At EUR 14 thousand, tax liabilities were around the same level as at December 31, 2024 (December 31, 2024: EUR 37 thousand).

Non-current liabilities decreased from EUR 12.2 million to EUR 10.1 million in the reporting period. There was a decline in both non-current financial liabilities, which decreased to EUR 5.4 million (December 31, 2024: EUR 6.8 million) and other non-current financial liabilities, which decreased to EUR 2.8 million (December 31, 2024: EUR 3.5 million). At EUR 1.9 million, deferred taxes remained at the year-end level (December 31, 2024: EUR 1.9 million).

Equity

Equity decreased to EUR 16.0 million as of June 30, 2025 (December 31, 2024: EUR 17.8 million). This was attributable to the EUR 2.4 million carried forward from the previous year (December 31, 2024: loss carryforward of EUR 0.1 million). The net loss for the period was EUR 2.1 million, compared to EUR 2.3 million for the full year 2024. In addition, the currency translation reserve changed from minus EUR 0.9 million to minus EUR 0.7 million. The capital stock of EUR 4.3 million, treasury shares of EUR 64 thousand, capital reserve of EUR 15.4 million and profit reserve of EUR 1.5 million were constant in the reporting period. Total assets decreased to EUR 56.2 million at the end of the first six months of 2025 (December 31, 2024: EUR 59.8 million). The equity ratio declined from 29.8% to 28.4%.

Liquidity and cash flow statement

The net cash flow for operating activities increased to EUR 2.8 million in the first six months of 2025 (H1 2024: outflow of EUR 39 thousand). Improvements in working capital management more than offset the increase in the consolidated net loss for the period. Excluding tax expense and interest payments, the cash flow for operating activities was EUR 3.4 million (H1 2024: EUR 0.6 million).

The net cash outflow for investing activities was EUR 1.3 million in the reporting period (H1 2024: outflow of EUR 2.2 million). Investment in intangible assets amounted to EUR 0.3 million (H1 2024: EUR 0.7 million) and investment in property, plant and equipment was EUR 1.0 million (H1 2024: EUR 1.5 million). As announced, capital expenditure was therefore once again reduced significantly. Based on the investment plan, expenditure of between EUR 1.0 million and EUR 1.5 million is planned for property, plant and equipment in 2025. Capital expenditure will be confined exclusively to new projects with corresponding sales volumes and a positive return on investment, for example, components for electrical equipment such as e-bikes and marine engines.

The net cash outflow for financing activities was EUR 2.4 million in the first six months of 2025 (H1 2024: net cash inflow of EUR 2.5 million). In the reporting period, there were cash inflows of EUR 0.4 million from project-related loans (H1 2024: EUR 2.1 million) and EUR 0.4 million from the use of overdraft facilities (H1 2024: EUR 3.1 million), and cash outflows of EUR 2.7 million for the repayment of loans (H1 2024: EUR 2.1 million) and EUR 0.6 million for lease payments (H1 2024: EUR 0.6 million).

This resulted in a total cash outflow of EUR 0.9 million in the reporting period (H1 2024: inflow of EUR 0.3 million). Cash and cash equivalents were EUR 0.9 million as of June 30, 2025 (June 30, 2024: EUR 1.2 million). On the reporting date, InTiCa Systems had assured, undrawn credit facilities of EUR 2.8 million.

Employees

The headcount was 573 on June 30, 2025 (June 30, 2024: 643). 9 of these employees were agency staff (June 30, 2024: 14). On average, the Group had 564 employees in the reporting period (H1 2024: 694), including agency staff in both cases.

Risks and opportunities

The management report in the annual report for 2024 provides full details of risk factors that could affect the business performance of InTiCa Systems in section 4 "Risk management and risk report", while business potential is discussed in section 5 "Opportunities and management of opportunities". There was no material change in the risk/ opportunity profile of InTiCa Systems SE in the reporting period.

Outlook

Both the macroeconomic environment and the sectorspecific situation remain very uncertain. In particular, the customs situation for the InTiCa Systems site in Mexico has not yet been clarified. Moreover, there are still trade policy risks in Europe following the agreement with the USA. In addition, the VDA projects that for the German automotive industry the agreement will result in additional costs running into billions. In the Industry & Infrastructure segment, the high competitive pressure from Asia looks set to continue. In both segments, uncertainty among OEMs and tier 1 suppliers remains high, making medium and long-term planning unclear in many cases.

That also affects InTiCa Systems' order situation. At the end of the first six months, orders on hand amounted to EUR 76.7 million, which was still far lower than in the prioryear period (June 30, 2024: EUR 82.3 million). 92% of orders were for the Mobility segment (June 30, 2024: 90%). So far, there has been a slight upturn in the third quarter and looking ahead to the fourth quarter this seems to be picking up. However, in view of the high volatility of order offtake, the sustainability of orders on hand cannot be estimated reliably at present. That will only change, at the earliest, after the holiday period, when all customers reevaluate their order situation.

Work continued on current development orders in the first half of the year and some were extended. In addition, there are some very exciting new enquiries. However, in line with the present trend, decisions are often taken very late or delayed. The situation is different with regard to long-term extensions of orders for existing products. In the Mobility segment, there are regular enquiries about this and successful negotiations. This strengthens profitability due to the use of existing equipment, some of which has already been fully depreciated.

To improve profitability at the present sales level, further savings in fixed costs and measures to enhance profitability are being implemented. In addition, InTiCa has been negotiating with alternative suppliers, especially in Asia, for some time. Projects to obtain the necessary approvals are already under way with customers. Supply chains and the availability of materials have remained intact. Working capital is also constantly being optimized and the liquidity situation is monitored closely. The current multi-year planning is fully financed.

Looking forward, it is, however, essential to lift sales again. While Asia is increasingly dominating the market for largescale serial production, InTiCa Systems is stepping up its focus on speciality markets. Examples are motors for ebikes, electric drives for actuators in power plants, and maritime applications. Development orders corroborate the market opportunities in these areas. However, they are not yet sufficient to offset the weakness of the established markets and some upfront investment is still required. In principle, though, the development of the new product groups and markets is moving in the right direction. The first major orders are about to be placed, initial samples have been delivered and have either already been validated or are in the process of being validated.

In the medium term, the new German government and its planned investment drive should bring a boost to the areas served by InTiCa Systems. However, it remains to be seen how the investment funding develops and which technologies and markets it is channelled to. The Board of Directors considers that, as a solution provider that is not dependent on individual products but has long-standing expertise in key areas of technology as the basis for its future business development, InTiCa Systems is basically well-positioned to exploit the opportunities that arise and to benefit from an improvement in the operating framework.

Taking into account the ongoing high uncertainty, at present the Board of Directors is retaining its forecast for 2025. Group sales are expected to be in the middle of the EUR 66.0 million to EUR 72.0 million range. On the earnings side, it is anticipated that EBIT will be at the lower end of the range of minus EUR 0.5 million to EUR 1.5 million. This is based on the assumption that in the second half of the year consulting expenses and non-cash currency losses will be lower than in the reporting period. Where possible, the material cost ratio should be optimized further in both segments and the equity ratio should remain stable.

The forecast for the 2025 financial year is based on the assumption that the economic development does not deteriorate further and that the geopolitical and trade conflicts do not escalate further, nor do any new ones arise. However, unforeseeable negative effects could affect suppliers, have a direct impact on InTiCa Systems, or affect its customers, resulting in an inability to meet or fully meet expectations.

Further information on the segments can be found in the annual report for 2024 in section 6 "Outlook".

Accounting based on the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS)

The consolidated interim financial statements of InTiCa Systems SE as of June 30, 2025, prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34 "Interim Financial Reporting", use the same accounting policies and valuation methods as the consolidated financial statements for fiscal 2024, which were drawn up in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards valid as of the reporting date, as applicable for use in the European Union, and the relevant interpretations.

The consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared for the six-month period ending on June 30, 2025. Comparative data refer to the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2024, or the consolidated interim financial statements as of June 30, 2024. The consolidated interim financial statements do not contain all information that would be required for a full set of annual financial statements. A detailed overview of the accounting and valuation principles applied can be found in the notes to the consolidated financial statements in the annual report for 2024. This is available at Investor Relations/Publications on the company's website at http://www.intica-systems.com/en.

The currency used to prepare the consolidated interim financial statements is the euro (EUR). Amounts are stated in thousands of euros (EUR '000) except where otherwise indicated.

The Czech and Ukrainian subsidiaries are wholly owned companies, while InTiCa Systems SE holds 99% in the Mexican company and InTiCa Systems s.r.o. holds 1%.

Consolidated income statement / statement of comprehensive income

Group sales were EUR 34,436 thousand in the first six months of 2025, down from EUR 39,416 thousand in the first six months of 2024. While sales in the Mobility segment increased slightly, the Industry & Infrastructure segment recorded a significant decline compared to the prior-year period. EBITDA decreased from EUR 3,700 thousand to EUR 1,935 thousand. Group net income was minus EUR 2,092 thousand in the reporting period, compared with minus EUR 467 thousand in the first six months of the previous year.

The equity ratio of around 28.4% as of June 30, 2025 (December 31, 2024: 29.8%) shows that the company is still soundly financed.
