Letter to the Shareholders

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen, dear Shareholders,

Civil war in Ukraine, new crisis zones in the Middle East, tensions between the NATO members and Russia. Within a few short weeks, geopolitical conflicts have reached a level that has not been seen for many years. The global economy is suddenly facing added risks and problems that have rendered many plans and forecasts obsolete. In its latest World Economic Outlook at the beginning of October, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) even warned of an impending global economic crisis.

The consequences for industry are already being felt, particularly in Europe. Many export-based companies have had to make downward corrections to their revenue and earnings expectations for 2014 and revise their plans for 2015.

Thanks to the long-term structure of its business and its high order backlog, init is not one of them. In the third quarter of 2014, our revenues and our earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) remained ahead of last year's.

With the first nine months of the financial year over, our revenues are up by around 14 per cent to EUR 69.6m and our operating profit (EBIT) has risen by around 33 per cent to EUR 10m. Both revenues and EBIT are therefore largely according to plan. We can therefore be confident of achieving our targets for the full year.

The geopolitical developments of the past months and their economic consequences for Europe warn us to pursue a cautious policy in order to keep init on track for success. We still have the support of a solid order backlog of around EUR 125m, which more than covers the revenues for the year. Nevertheless, even we have noticed recently that decision-making deadlines for major international projects have been extended or that tenders have been cancelled and relaunched.

There is no doubt that the risks to init's business development in 2015 have also increased against the background of the geopolitical crises. However, many decision-makers and policy-makers are realising just as we are that the best way to counter an impending global economic downturn is by making long-term investments. For example, influential policy advisers and organisations such as the IMF are recommending investments in infrastructure, and transport systems in particular, as a way to stimulate long-term growth in all countries.

We therefore believe that it is highly likely that we will now see a large number of tenders in this field that were postponed in 2014 being issued in 2015 – with corresponding growth opportunities for init.

Particularly in the current situation, but also beyond, there is a need for massive investment worldwide in intelligent transport infrastructure solutions to ensure continued mobility in metropolitan areas. The international industry association UITP has set itself the goal of doubling the share of public transport by 2025 compared to 2009. The Secretary General of the UITP, Alain Flausch, has now also been appointed to the UNO Advisory Group on Sustainable Transport under its Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and will be able to work even more effectively towards an expansion of the public transport market. Modern technologies in the field of telematics and electronic fare collection systems will naturally play a key role in this expansion.

If you, like ourselves, are convinced that far-sighted investments are the way to long-term success, then you should continue to place your confidence in init. Thank you for doing so.

For the Managing Board of init innovation in traffic systems AG

Share and Investor Relations

Stock markets slump in third quarter – init share holds its own

The init innovation in traffic systems AG (ISIN DE0005759807) stock did significantly better than the key German stock market indices in the third quarter of 2014. Initially, the init stock shared the fate of the German stock index DAX and the technology sector index TecDAX in July because of a paucity of good news, following the general downward trend caused by the worsening of international crises. init's shares marked the beginning of August by hitting their lowest price for the year at EUR 18.62.

The publication of above-forecast figures for the half year ushered in a recovery which saw the stock once more priced above the EUR 22 mark by the end of September. The company made use of temporary weaknesses in September to buy back shares. Trading in the stock picked up again significantly after the half-year figures and the share buyback programme were announced.

On balance, the init stock was able to uncouple itself from the prevailing market weakness, particularly in the third quarter, outperforming both the DAX and the TecDAX. init's shares showed a slight dip of 6 per cent over the first nine months of 2014, largely due to a dividend payment of EUR 0.80 in May.

The stock is still rated by analysts who value our company regularly as a "buy" or "hold". The current target prices range from EUR 22.50 to EUR 28.80.

Share buyback decided and implemented

The Managing Board of init innovation in traffic systems AG decided on 9 September 2014 to acquire up to 20,000 treasury stocks (in accordance with Section 71 (1) (8) of the German Stock Corporation Act (AktG)) in exercise of the authorisation granted by the Annual General Meeting on 12 May 2010, topic 6 of the agenda. The purchase price of the shares was not to exceed EUR 22.30 per share (excluding incidental costs).

This buyback was implemented successfully by 29 September. The company acquired 20,000 shares in total at an average price of EUR 22.05 (excluding incidental costs). The shares were purchased on the stock exchange (XETRA trading) by Commerzbank AG.

The number of repurchased shares represents a share of 0.2 per cent in the capital stock of init innovation in traffic systems AG. The share buyback programme pursuant to the resolution of 9 September 2014 has therefore been completed.

Interim Group Status Report

Economic environment

The risks and problems for the global economy became more acute in the third quarter of 2014. In its latest economic outlook at the start of October, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) even warned of a potential global economic crisis due to the geopolitical conflicts in Ukraine, Africa and the Middle East, in particular.

Experts from the IMF, and recently also other economic research institutes, are predicting a general economic slowdown in the current year and in 2015 in light of these facts. However, the economic problems are being felt in very different ways around the world. For the time being, the IMF global economic outlook is still predicting growth of 3.3 per cent in the current year and 3.8 per cent in 2015. These are marginally lower values than predicted in the summer.

The IMF is particularly concerned by performance in the Eurozone, where the threat of stagnation once again looms. Currently, the IMF is still predicting overall growth here of 0.8 per cent this year and 1.3 per cent in 2015. The situation in several key countries, such as France and Italy, has already deteriorated significantly.

Even Germany is feeling the impact of these trends. The IMF's latest economic outlook still forecasts growth in local economic performance of 1.4 per cent this year. This is 0.5 percentage points below the previous forecast in July. The IMF is still expecting GDP to increase by 1.5 per cent in Germany in 2015.

The situation is significantly better in the United Kingdom, a further key market for init systems, than in the Eurozone. Here, the IMF is predicting growth rates of 3.2 per cent this year and 2.7 per cent next year.

The projection of IMF economic experts is more positive for init's expected main growth markets of North America and Asia. Growth of between 2 and 3 per cent is expected in 2014 and 2015 in North America, which according to the IMF is once again seeing strong growth following the winter-related economic downturn at the start of the year. GDP in the world's largest economy is set to grow by 2.2 per cent this year, a rise of 0.5 percentage points compared with July. The IMF is predicting growth of 3.1 per cent for 2015.

Growth rates in excess of 5 per cent continue to be predicted for the Asia/Pacific region, with China remaining the world's economic powerhouse, with growth of more than 7 per cent despite higher potential risk.

For all countries, but especially for those feeling the effects of a burgeoning economic crisis, the IMF's economic experts recommend infrastructure investment programmes as a sustainable instrument for growth. If these are implemented, they should result in higher demand from 2015 onwards for intelligent transport infrastructure solutions and systems, such as those manufactured and supplied by init.

Sector-specific performance

Population growth, increasing urbanisation and impending traffic gridlock are leading to rising demand for public transport. Globally, transport infrastructure is experiencing increased demand for expansion and modernisation. More than one half of the world's population now lives in metropolitan areas that are of crucial importance to their countries' economy. The necessary mobility can only be guaranteed there by upgrading public transport systems. This demands massive investment in intelligent transport infrastructure solutions, as offered by init. Another current trend is hardware substitution and the modernisation of old telematics systems.

This contrasts with the pressure to consolidate public finances, which means that funds to expand the necessary infrastructure are not or are no longer available in certain countries due to their weak economic position. Accordingly, this may also lead to cuts in funding. By and large though, the effects of budget cuts have been no more significant than this so far. In individual cases, tenders which have already been announced have been postponed. Several tenders have also been cancelled and certain of them are to be reissued. Nevertheless, we are expecting the volume of new tenders to increase in 2015.

Economic basis of the group

The economic basis of the Group Status Report 2013 continue to apply unchanged.

Report on earnings, assets and financial position

General performance

The distribution of revenues within the init group is traditionally uneven over the course of the financial year: the first three quarters are usually weaker and the fourth the strongest.

In the first nine months of 2014, the init group managed to increase revenues by around 14 per cent year-over-year and increase earnings (EBIT) by 33 per cent. Both revenues and earnings are therefore more or less according to plan. The rise in revenues was primarily the result of increased hardware supplies. The absolute improvement in earnings is mainly the result of increased revenues and positive currency effects.

Orders

All in all, init managed to acquire new orders to the value of EUR 12.1m in the third quarter (Q3 2013: EUR 10.4m). Of incoming orders, EUR 11.1m (Q3 2013: EUR 9.7m) is attributable to the "Telematics and Electronic Fare Collection Systems" segment and EUR 1.0m (Q3 2013: EUR 0.7m) to the "Other" segment, which comprises the business segments Planning Systems, Driver Dispatch Systems and Automotive.

Incoming orders for the first nine months total EUR 55.6m (Q1 –Q3 2013: EUR 46.7m) and are therefore considerably higher than in the prior-year period. We deem that our target for incoming orders of EUR 105m for 2014 is difficult to achieve. This is due to considerable delays in the time it has taken for decisions to be reached. Several tenders have also been cancelled and only partly reissued. However, incoming orders for 2014 are expected to be significantly above the previous year overall.

The order backlog as at 30 September 2014 stands at around EUR 125m and is therefore below the previous year's figure of EUR 163m on the balance sheet date. However, it continues to be at a high level and cover more than the annual revenues.

Earnings position

Revenues of EUR 25.7m (Q3 2013: EUR 24.0m) were generated in the third quarter of 2014.

Revenues based on customer's location.

Group revenues came in at EUR 69.6m in the first nine months (Q1–Q3 2013: EUR 61.1m). Of this, EUR 65.9m was contributed by the "Telematics and Electronic Fare Collection Systems" segment (Q1 – Q3 2013: EUR 57.2m), representing around 95 per cent (Q1 –Q3: 2013: around 94 per cent). The "Other" segment generated revenues with third parties amounting to EUR 3.7m (Q1 –Q3 2013: EUR 3.9m). This equates to 5 per cent (Q1 –Q3 2013: around 6 per cent) of group revenues. Group revenues essentially met therefore our targets as at the end of September 2014. The increase in revenues is largely accounted for by the scheduled implementation of major projects.

Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) increased to EUR 10.0m compared with Q1 –Q3 2013 (EUR 7.5m), and are therefore also according to plan. The "Telematics and Electronic Fare Collection Systems" segment contributed EUR 10.5m (Q1 –Q3 2013: EUR 7.9m) and the "Other" segment contributed EUR -0.5m (Q1–Q3 2013: EUR -0.4m).

Gross profit stands at EUR 23.0m, which is EUR 0.7m higher than in the previous year (EUR 22.3m). The reason for this is found in the increased revenues. However, the ratio of manufacturing costs to revenues rose by around 3.5 percentage points, which is accounted for primarily by the increase in wages and salaries and the higher level of purchased services and lower contribution margins due to higher minority interests.

Sales and administrative expenses came in at EUR 0.1m lower than in the previous year. The reduction is the result of cost savings in various areas.

Research and development expenses are around EUR 0.7m below the previous year's level and should increase again in the course of the year due to new developments.

Foreign currency gains amounting to EUR 0.9m are primarily the result of the realisation of currency gains in receivables in foreign currency and the fulfilment of forward exchange transactions, especially from the US dollar and the CAN dollar (Q1 –Q3 2013: losses of EUR 0.8m).

Net interest income (balance of interest income and interest expenses) stands at EUR -320k (Q1–Q3 2013: EUR -189k). Interest expenses are incurred primarily from interest for real estate finance at the Karlsruhe site, pension obligations, as well as overdraft loans taken out by the subsidiaries.

Due to the above-mentioned effects, net profit as at 30 September 2014 increased compared with the prioryear period (Q1 –Q3 2013: EUR 5.1m) to around EUR 6.8m. This equates to earnings per share of EUR 0.68 (Q1-Q2 2013: EUR 0.51).

Despite diminished gains from currency translation (as a result of US dollar exchange rate depreciation) and because of the higher net profit, total comprehensive income rose to EUR 8.5m (Q1–Q3 2013: EUR 4.7m).

Net assets and financial position

The Balance sheet total increased by EUR 0.3m to EUR 118.6m compared to 31 December 2013 and is therefore EUR 7.5m higher than it was last year as at 30 September.

Operating cash flow stands at EUR 0.1m (Q1 – Q3 2013: EUR 7.4m) and deteriorated compared with the previous year primarily as a result of the build-up of inventories and receivables from PoC as well as the reduction in accounts payable from PoC. This is offset by the build-up in accounts payable from deliveries and services, income tax liabilities, and the increase in provisions. We expect that the cash flow will rise over the further course of business as a result of payment receipts for major projects.

Cash flow from investment activities stands at EUR -5.9m (Q1–Q3 2013: EUR -3.5m) and results primarily from disbursements for the new-build project in Kaeppelestrasse in Karlsruhe as well as from replacement and expansion investments.

Total equity stands at EUR 62.6m and is therefore higher than in the previous year (Q1 –Q3 2013: EUR 55.1m). The equity ratio is therefore 52.8 per cent (Q1 –Q3 2013: 49.6 per cent).

Short and long-term liabilities to banks stand at EUR 9.7m (31/12/2013: EUR 11.0m) and mainly relate to real estate finance.

Cash and cash equivalents, including short-term securities and bonds, stood at EUR 10.3m in the reporting period (31/12/2013: EUR 25.6m) and are therefore below the previous year because of the investment in the new build and agreed payment terms from the projects. Cash and cash equivalents will rise again over the further course of business.

The rise in PoC receivables to EUR 37.5m (31/12/2013: EUR 31.9m) is primarily the result of agreed milestone payments in the projects and should be reduced by the year end through invoicing.

Compared with 31 December 2013 inventories rose by EUR 6.4m to EUR 19.0m. The reason for this is imminent hardware deliveries, which will cause the stock to fall again in the months to come.

The available guarantee and credit lines continue to provide secure finance for business activities and their expansion.

Personnel

The init group employed 478 staff as at 30 September 2014 (Q3 2013: 448) including temporary workers, research assistants and students doing thesis work. There are a further 18 (Q3 2013: 18) employees in apprenticeships.

478 448

Opportunities and risks

The opportunities and risks described in the group status report 2013 (p. 41 et seq.) apply unchanged. Appropriate provision has been made for all recognisable risks. In our opinion, there are no risks capable of jeopardising the continued existence of the company.

Claims have been made against us in connection with an international cooperation agreement. We do not believe these claims are justified. Based on this international cooperation agreement, our general contractor did not forward approximately EUR 2.0m of payments from an end customer to us. init has sued for this payment. The ruling in the arbitration proceedings went in init's favour, although the risk that the receivables will still not be recovered remains. The risk provisioning set up for this purpose was therefore also retained.

Activities are currently underway to improve the revenues situation and earnings of CarMedialab GmbH, Bruchsal. The effectiveness of these measures cannot be guaranteed in the future, however. If the planned growth is not achieved, an impairment of goodwill amounting to EUR 0.2m will have to be recognised. Further additional losses may arise.

The projects in France and Finland send out a signal for future tenders in these countries and improve growth prospects there. We still expect our activities in the Asia/ Pacific region to stimulate growth.

In the US, we have won our second ticketing project with Portland. This provides init with references for further tenders in the ticketing business in North America, as we see considerable market potential here over the next ten years.

Events after the reporting date

There have been no significant events after the balancesheet date.

Forecast and outlook

The prospects for future global economic performance have been greatly impacted by renewed geopolitical turbulence and its consequences for the economy in the third quarter of 2014, particularly in Europe. This has already led to many companies revising their forecasts for revenues and earnings for 2014.

The high order backlog has meant that init remains largely unaffected by this trend and has been able to essentially realise the targets for revenues and EBIT. The Managing Board remains confident of being able to come within the target range of between EUR 103m and 107m for revenues and EUR 17m to 19m for operating profit (EBIT).

Given the deterioration in the global economic situation, the risks to init's business performance in 2015 have also increased. This can be seen in the longer decision-making periods for major international projects and the suspension and only partial republication of tenders. This is also the reason behind the current flattening out of incoming orders. However, incoming orders for 2014 are expected to be significantly above the previous year overall.

By contrast, there is a need for massive investment worldwide in intelligent transport infrastructure solutions to ensure continued mobility in metropolitan areas. At the same time, the need for hardware substitution and the modernisation of old telematics systems is increasing, particularly in the industrialised countries in the West. Influential policy advisers and organisations, such as the International Monetary Fund (IMF), are also recommending investments in infrastructure, and transport systems in particular, as a way to stimulate long-term growth in all countries.

Considering these factors, we therefore believe that it is highly likely that we will now see a large number of tenders in this field that were postponed in 2014 being issued in 2015 – with corresponding growth opportunities for init. How quickly decisions are made on these tenders and how rapidly the backlog of investments already observed in several key countries is cleared for init will be a deciding factor in the growth of revenues and EBIT.

We further continue to anticipate long-term – aboveaverage, compared to the overall economy – growth opportunities in our market. We see the greatest potential here over the next few years in North America and Asia. On the one hand, the modernisation of transport infrastructure continues to be in full swing, while in Asia, large tenders are also emerging for redeveloping local public transport systems, from which init intends to benefit as the market leader for intelligent telematics and electronic fare collection systems.

Shareholders' Equity

Subscribed Capital

The capital stock consists of 10,040,000 no-par bearer shares with an imputed share in the capital stock of EUR 1 per share. The shares have been issued and are fully paid up.

Authorised Capital

The annual shareholders' meeting on 24 May 2011 passed a resolution to create authorised capital totalling EUR 5,020,000. Subject to approval by the Supervisory Board, the Managing Board is authorised to increase the company's capital stock by up to EUR 5,020,000 by 23 May 2016, through one or more issues of up to 5,020,000 bearer shares against contributions in cash or in kind. The new shares will be granted to credit institutions with an obligation to offer the shares to the shareholders for subscription. However, subject to approval by the Supervisory Board, the Managing Board is authorised to withdraw the subscription right in order to:

  • issue up to 1,004,000 new shares at a price not substantially lower than the stock market price of the company shares when the issue price is determined

  • to balance out peak amounts,

  • to open up additional capital markets

  • to acquire investments and to acquire or merge with other companies or parts of companies by way of a noncash investment and

  • to turn up to 250,000 new shares into employee shares.

Additional Paid-in Capital

As at 30 September 2014, additional paid-in capital was EUR 5,980k, comprising EUR 3.141k from the premium on shares sold in the IPO and the 2002 capital increase. A further EUR 2,307k was allocated for employee share scheme expenses for the years 2005 to 2013 and EUR 628k for 2014. EUR 610k was reversed following the share transfer to members of the Managing Board and key personnel in 2014. Additional paid-in capital was increased by EUR 514k through the sale of treasury stock in 2007.

Treasury Stock

As at 1 January 2014, treasury stock comprised 39,918 shares. In the first quarter of 2014, 26,340 shares were transferred to the incentive scheme for members of the Managing Board, managing directors and key personnel with a five-year lock up period.

Based on a resolution passed at the shareholders' meeting of 12 May 2010, the company is authorised to purchase treasury shares. On 9 September 2014, a decision was made to repurchase up to 20,000 shares. 20,000 shares were repurchased from 9 to 29 September at an average price of EUR 22.10. Consequently, treasury stock totalled 33,578 shares as at 30 September 2014.

Treasury stock is valued at acquisition cost (cost method) at EUR 701k (31/12/2013: EUR 763k) and deducted from shareholders' equity.

Contingent Liabilities/Assets

The init group had no contingent liabilities or assets as at 30 September 2014 or 31 December 2013.

Legal Disputes

init AG and other group companies are involved in legal disputes connected with ongoing business operations that may have an impact on the group's financial situation. Litigation involves a number of variables, and the outcome of individual lawsuits cannot be reliably predicted. The affected group companies have recognised provisions in the balance sheet for events prior to the reporting date that are likely to result in a liability which can be estimated with reasonable accuracy. We do not anticipate any other significant negative outcomes that would have a long-term effect on the assets, liabilities, financial position and earnings situation of the init group. We also refer to the chapter "Opportunities and risks" in the group status report.

Financial Instruments

Classification and Fair Values

The following table states the book values of the financial instruments of the group reported in the balance sheet on 30 September 2014 compared to 31 December 2013 and shows their classification in appropriate measurement categories according to IAS 39.

Financial liabilities reported

Derivative financial liabilities 532 68

The fair value of the listed securities and bond issues (available for sale) was determined using their respective market value. The fair value of the derivative financial instruments and the loans was calculated by way of discounting the expected future cash flow using the prevailing market interest rates. Given the short maturities of the cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, other assets, trade accounts payable, and other liabilities, it is assumed that their fair value is equal to the book value.

Hierarchy of Fair Values to IFRS 13

The group uses the following hierarchy to determine and report the fair value:

Level 1: Quoted (unadjusted) prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2: Techniques in which all input parameters with a material impact on the calculated fair value are directly or indirectly observable.

Level 3: Techniques using input parameters that have a material impact on the calculated fair value but which are not based on observable market data.

In the reporting period ending 30 September 2014 and the reporting period ending 31 December 2013, there were neither reclassifications between the fair value categories of Level 1 and Level 2 nor any reclassifications into or out of the fair value category of Level 3.

Through a review of the classification (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) of the acquired assets and liabilities is determined whether transfers between the levels have occurred at the end of each reporting period.

The measurement of fair value at Level 2 in the current financial year and the prior year is as follows: derivative financial instruments are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows over the remaining term of the contract at the closing rate.
