InTiCa Systems faced a number of operating setbacks in the third quarter of 2010. Orders on hand continued to rise significantly and reached a new record high of around EUR 45 million at the start of the fourth quarter (2009: approx. EUR 11 million). Similarly, the operating cash flow was EUR 1.2 million at the end of the first nine months, bringing back into clearly positive territory as we had forecast and pointing to an improvement in our business situation. Nevertheless, unit costs were adversely affected by a combination of supply bottlenecks by suppliers of raw materials, higher raw material and ancillary procurement costs and increased shipping expenses due to special deliveries in the third quarter. Postponement of production start-up for some products in the Automotive Technology segment and cable assemblies, plus higher start-up costs for a number of new products, and quality issues in the supply of raw material to the Communication Technology segment also had an unfavourable impact on material costs. Overall, this resulted in a shortfall of some EUR 0.6 million compared with the budget. Following slightly positive EBIT in the first six months, earnings therefore declined in the third quarter.
At the end of the first nine months EBIT was well below expectations at minus EUR 0.5 million so we will not be able to meet our target of reporting positive earnings for the full year.
On the positive side, sales increased, especially in the Industrial Electronics segment, which reported sales growth of approximately 610% year-on-year. At EUR 6.1 million this segment's sales were almost on a par with those of the Automotive Technology segment (9M 2010: EUR 6.4 million). Thanks to new orders in the Automotive Technology and Industrial Electronics segments, production capacity is now almost fully utilized. In view of this, we invested further in expansion of our production facilities in the past quarter and hired new employees for our production site in Prachatice in the Czech Republic.
The achievements of recent months are not yet visible in our income statement. At the end of the first nine months, InTiCa Systems' earnings were around the same level as in the previous year. However, the positive development is evident from the cash flow statement and order intake, making us
confident about the future. With an equity ratio of around 53% as of September 30, 2010, InTiCa Systems is still soundly financed. We anticipate that the earnings trend will pick up in fiscal 2011 and that the company will be able to report a sustained positive earnings trend.
Passau, November 2010
Yours,
Chairman of the Member of the Board of Directors Board of Directors
Walter Brückl Günther Kneidinger
for the period from January 1 to September 30, 2010
The global economic recovery continued in the reporting period, driven principally by strong economic growth in the emerging economies in Asia and South America. Although the pace of recovery slowed somewhat in the third quarter as stimulus packages came to an end, economic conditions were robust and the return to recession feared by many market participants did not materialize. However, within the EU economic growth rates are continuing to drift apart. Calculations by the German Institute for Economic Research (DIW) put the range in the second quarter of 2010 at between 2.2% in Germany and -1.8% in Greece. In particular in the southern European countries and Ireland, the necessary savings will hold back growth for some time. Exports were the main growth driver in Germany. The DIW forecasts that exports will increase by around 15% in 2010 as a whole and by almost 8% in 2011. Output in the export sector will therefore soon be back at the level reported before the economic crisis. Domestic demand also recovered. According to the DIW, in the second quarter German consumer spending rose for the first time in a year, (+6% vs. Q1 2010) reflecting stable prices and lower unemployment. Overall, the DIW expects Germany to report growth of about 3.4% in 2010. Growth in the US economy flattened somewhat in the second quarter of 2010 and was 0.6% according to the OECD. Nevertheless, that represented year-on-year growth of 3.2%.
Shares in InTiCa Systems AG traded sideways at around EUR 4 in the first quarter of 2010. In April, they abruptly surged towards EUR 5 and then briefly exceeded this threshold. However, the stock market was subsequently unsettled by the growing sense of crisis about Greece and the euro, which led to a sell-off on the equity markets. During the summer, the share traded sideways at around EUR 4. At the start of September new impetus lifted it towards EUR 4.50 but this proved unsustainable. At present, shares in InTiCa Systems AG have dropped back to the level seen in the summer. In Xetra trading, the share price closed at EUR 3.89 on November 12.
In the first nine months, we provided timely information for our shareholders and the general public on current business trends, major orders acquired, specific events and the company's prospects. At the Annual General Meeting on July 9, 2010 shareholders were able to find out about the company's performance in 2009 and the current situation at InTiCa Systems. The presentation and speech given at this year's Annual General Meeting and the results of the votes on the resolutions can be accessed on the company's homepage at Investor Relations/Annual General Meeting [available in German only].
As a Prime Standard company, InTiCa Systems will once again have a presence at the German Equity Forum on
November 22, 2010 and will use this opportunity to present its latest financial results. The three-day German Equity Forum, which attracts more than 5,000 participants from the financial sector, German and international entrepreneurs, investors and analysts, is now Europe's leading platform for equity financing.
In the first nine months of this year, InTiCa Systems' Automotive Technology segment and especially the Industrial Electronics segment secured further major longterm orders worth several million euros, thus underscoring the growth prospects of these segments. Most of the orders on hand are secured by firm take-off obligations, so the inflow of funds in the coming months should result in a positive cash flow. Moreover, in line with customary market practice in the sector, payment terms in the Industrial Electronics segment – which is currently the fastest-growing segment at InTiCa Systems – are far shorter than in the automotive industry. By the end of the third quarter of 2010, orders on hand had increased by more than 175% year-on-year to over EUR 30.7 million (9M 2009: EUR 11.1 million). The Board of Directors expects consolidated sales to top EUR 40 million in 2011. With orders on hand of around EUR 45 million at present, it regards the implied sales growth of over 35% in 2011 versus 2010 as realistic.
On November 3, 2010 InTiCa Systems issued an ad-hoc statement that costs had been around EUR 0.6 million above budget at group level in the third quarter due to the unfavourable development of unit costs. As a consequence, the company will not be able to report a profit in 2010.

In the first nine months of 2010 consolidated sales increased 24.3% year-on-year, principally due to growth in the Industrial Electronics and Automotive Technology segments. However, persistently strong price pressure on products in the Communication Technology segment and considerably higher material and logistics expenses in the third quarter resulted in an operating loss of EUR 0.48 million at the end of the first nine months (9M 2009: operating loss of EUR 0.45 million. The reasons for this include supply bottlenecks at raw material suppliers, coupled with higher raw material and auxiliary sourcing costs, postponement of the start-up of various cable assembly and automotive technology products, increased start-up costs for a wide range of new products and higher shipping costs incurred for special deliveries. InTiCa Systems' equity ratio of 53% (December 31, 2009: 57%) shows that it is still soundly financed. An increase in orders prefinanced by customers led to a positive cash flow from operating activities. In view of the high level of orders on hand, further investment in non-current assets was necessary, resulting in a decline in cash and cash equivalents.
The Group lifted sales by roughly 24.3% to EUR 21.9 million in the first nine months of 2010 (9M 2009: EUR 17.6 million). In the Communication Technology segment sales slipped to EUR 9.5 million, down roughly 15.8% from EUR 11.2 million in the first nine months of 2009. The downtrend was, however, more than offset by stronger growth in the Automotive Technology and Industrial Electronics segments. The Automotive Technology segment grew sales by around 15.5% year-on-year from EUR 5.5 million to EUR 6.4 million. In the Industrial Electronics segment sales rose 610% year-on-year to EUR 6.1 million (9M 2009: EUR 0.9 million).
The material cost ratio increased to around 71% in the reporting period (9M 2009: approx. 66%). The personnel cost ratio remained virtually unchanged year-on-year at around 20% as the increase in headcount was accompanied by higher production. Capital expenditures undertaken in the past for property, plant and equipment and intangible assets increased depreciation and amortization to EUR 3.1 million (9M 2009: EUR 2.6 million). There was a minimal increase in other expenses to EUR 2.2 million in the reporting period (9M 2009: EUR 2.1 million).
EUR 2.0 million was spent on research and development in the first nine months. That was slightly more than in the year -back reference period (EUR 1.9 million).
The Group lifted EBITDA 22.8% to EUR 2.7 million in the first nine months of 2010, up from EUR 2.2 million in the first nine months of 2009. EBITDA was EUR 0.7 million in the third quarter, a drop of 37% year-on-year (Q3 2009: EUR 1.0 million) due to unexpectedly high material and logistics costs.
Consolidated EBIT was minus EUR 0.5 million in the first nine months of 2010 (9M 2009: minus EUR 0.5 million). The massive improvement in EBIT in the Industrial Electronics segment to EUR 0.4 million in the first nine months of 2010 (9M 2009: EUR 0.09 million) was counteracted by negative EBIT of minus EUR 1.1 million in the Communication Technology segment (9M 2009: minus EUR 0.8 million) and a decline in EBIT in the Automotive Technology segment to EUR 0.2 million (9M 2009: EUR 0.3 million). The EBIT margins in the Industrial Electronics and Automotive Technology segments slipped to 6.7% and 3.0% respectively (9M 2009: 10.1% and 5.6%) due to higher material and logistics costs and the allocation of overheads on the basis of segment sales.
The financial result was at minus EUR 0.35 million at the end of the first nine months (9M 2009: minus EUR 0.25 million). At the end of the first nine months, the InTiCa Systems Group recognized a loss of EUR 0.8 million for the reporting period (9M 2009: loss of EUR 0.8 million). Earnings per share were minus EUR 0.19 (9M 2009: minus EUR 0.18). As a result of positive currency effects amounting to EUR 0.6 million (9M 2009: approx. EUR 0.6 million) from the translation of foreign businesses, comprehensive income was minus EUR 0.2 million (9M 2009: minus EUR 0.1 million).
Non-current assets increased by around 9.5% from EUR 23.1 million as of December 31, 2009 to EUR 25.3 million as of September 30, 2010. This was due to extensive investment in property, plant and equipment, capitalization of development costs and capital expenditures for intangible assets.
Current assets increased from EUR 13.6 million to EUR 14.1 million in the first nine months of 2010. Inventories rose from EUR 4.0 million as of December 31, 2009 to EUR 6.0 million as of September 30, 2010 as a result of orders on hand in the Industrial Electronics and Automotive Technology segments. At the same time, trade payables rose from EUR 4.3 million to EUR 5.2 million. Cash and cash equivalents decreased by EUR 2.4 million to EUR 2.5 million in the reporting period (December 31, 2009: EUR 4.9 million) as a consequence of investment to expand business operations.
The Group's current liabilities increased by roughly 71.8% in the first nine months of 2010 from EUR 4.3 million to EUR 7.3 million, mainly due to higher drawings on credit lines (increase of approx. EUR 2.1 million to EUR 3.2 million) and an increase in trade payables (up approx. EUR 1.0 million at EUR 3.1 million). In the same period, non-current liabilities decreased slightly from
EUR 11.5 million to EUR 11.3 million due to repayment instalments on loans.
Equity was EUR 20.7 million as of September 30, 2010. That represented a slight decline of EUR 0.2 million since December 31, 2009 (EUR 20.9 million). The negative interim result for the first nine months (minus EUR 0.8 million) was partly offset by positive translation differences relating to the Czech subsidiary (EUR 0.6 million) so equity did not decrease as fast as earnings. The increase in debt reduced the equity ratio from 57% to 53% in the reporting period. Total assets increased from EUR 36.7 million to EUR 39.3 million in the first nine months.
The net cash flow from operating activities improved significantly to EUR 0.9 million in the first nine months of 2010, compared with a cash outflow of EUR 2.5 million in the year-back period. The reasons for this positive development in the third quarter of 2010 (H1 2010: outflow of EUR 0.2 million) were the increased intake of prefinanced orders and a rise in depreciation and amortization charges. Excluding interest payments, InTiCa Systems achieved a cash inflow from operating activities of EUR 1.3 million (9M 2010: outflow of EUR 2.2 million).
The net outflow for investing activities was EUR 5.2 million in the first nine months of 2010. The outflow was attributable to high investment in property, plant and equipment, especially to expand the production facilities in Prachatice, Czech Republic, and in intangible assets.
The net cash outflow for financing activities was EUR 0.3 million, exactly in line with the year-back level. In the reporting period, outflows were exclusively for repayment instalments on loans (EUR 0.3 million).
Cash and cash equivalents (less current account credit lines drawn) were minus EUR 0.5 million as of September 30, 2010 (9M 2009: EUR 3.5 million). Moreover, InTiCa Systems has assured credit facilities which can be drawn at any time totalling EUR 3.1 million.
The number of employees increased as planned from 267 as of December 31, 2009 to 377 as of September 30, 2010 in response to the rise in orders on hand. The average headcount in the first nine months of 2010 was 327.
The management report in the annual report for 2009 provides full details of risk factors that could affect the business performance of InTiCa Systems in section 10 "Risk management and risk report" while business potential is discussed in section 12
"Opportunities". There was no material change in the risk/ opportunity profile of InTiCa Systems AG in the reporting period.
The Supervisory Board of InTiCa Systems AG held its constitutive meeting on August 25, 2010. Mr. Werner Paletschek, managing director of OWP Brillen GmbH, was elected the new Chairman of the Supervisory Board, with Mr. Christian Fürst, managing partner of Ziel Management Consulting GmbH as Deputy Chairman. The third member of the Supervisory Board is Mr. Detlef Hölzel.
On November 3, 2010 InTiCa Systems AG issued an ad-hoc statement in which it announced that consolidation of the figures for the nine-month report had revealed that costs were around EUR 0.6 million above budget at group level in the third quarter due to the unfavourable development of unit costs. As a consequence, the company will not be able to report a profit in 2010. However, in view of the very good order situation the Board of Directors raised its sales guidance for 2011 from EUR 34 million to over EUR 40 million. With orders on hand of around EUR 45 million at present, it regards the implied sales growth of over 35% in 2011 compared to 2010 is realistic.
As stated in the ad-hoc announcement on November 3, 2010, the Board of Directors assumes that the company will not break even in 2010 owing to unexpectedly high material and logistics expenses in the third quarter. However, it has not changed its forecast of sales growth of over 20% to EUR 28-30 million in FY 2010. At the same time, the Board of Directors is raising its sales guidance for fiscal 2011 from EUR 34 million to over EUR 40 million due to the very good order situation. That represents a sales increase of over 35% in 2011 compared with 2010. Orders on hand in the Group currently amount to around EUR 45 million.
On the production side, the historically high level of orders on hand in the Industrial Electronics and Automotive Technology segments has resulted in very high capacity utilization. As a result, both inventories and personnel increased further in recent months. In addition, high investment was made to expand business operations so that orders can be processed as quickly as possible without compromising quality targets. The Board of Directors anticipates that the earnings trend will pick up in fiscal 2011 and that the company will be able to report a sustained positive earnings trend.
Further information on the expectations for the individual segments is set out in section 14 "Outlook" in the management report published in the annual report for 2009 and in the "Outlook" section of the report on the first three months of this year.
The unaudited consolidated interim financial statements for InTiCa Systems AG and its subsidiaries as of September 30, 2010 have been drawn up in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), as applicable for use in the European Union, and the supplementary commercial law regulations set out in sec. 315a paragraph 1 of the German Commercial Code (HGB). No audit review has been conducted of the consolidated interim financial statements.

Higher material and logistics costs in the third quarter put pressure on margins. Moreover, investment in expansion of the business increased deprecation to EUR3,127 thousand (9M 2009: EUR 2,609 thousand). Overall, the Group reported a net loss of EUR 222 thousand at the end of the first nine months (9M 2009: net loss of EUR 129 thousand).
