We are pleased to report that our business performance improved considerably in the first quarter, even though conditions remained adverse. Overall, we grew sales appreciably year-on-year. The growth in the Automotive Technology segment continued and the Communication Technology segment also posted higher sales. At the same time, we stabilized sales in the Industrial Electronics segment at a slightly lower level than a year ago.
Stringent cost discipline and continuous process optimization resulted in a good operating result (EBITDA) in the reporting period, with a margin of over 14% and positive earnings after taxes.
The introduction of new customer-specific products and solutions, combined with our increased vertical integration will result in a perceptible increase in sales and profitability during the year, especially in the Automotive Technology and Industrial Electronics segments. At the same time, we are continuing to invest in expanding and modernizing production and in the development of new products and applications.
Although we expect that economic uncertainty will continue to dominate overall economic conditions in 2013, following the good start to the new financial year, we are confirming our guidance for the full year. Assuming at least moderate overall economic growth, we anticipate a perceptible rise in sales and earnings. From the present viewpoint we therefore expect Group sales of around EUR 40 million, an EBITDA margin of around 15% and an EBIT margin of around 3%.
Passau May, 2013
Yours,
Chairman of the Member of the Board of Directors Board of Directors
Walter Brückl Günther Kneidinger
for the period from January 1 to March 31, 2013
The German Institute for Economic Research (DIW) in Berlin calculates that in the first quarter of 2013 growth in the German economy was slightly weaker than expected at 0.3%. Although exports to the euro zone are increasingly stabilizing, demand for German exports remains relatively weak and is holding back the economic trend in Germany. However, the DIW expects the global economy to pick up during the year, with the favourable financing conditions leading to rising investment spending. The labour market situation remains stable. Moreover, marked wage rises could bring a rise in consumer spending. The DIW considers that the economic environment is still fragile, but that the German economy is on the right track and anticipates a perceptible increase in economic momentum.
Shares in InTiCa Systems got off to a relatively slow start to 2013, dropping from EUR 3.02 to a low for the quarter of EUR 2.82 in mid-January. The share price then rallied considerably, rising to over EUR 3.00. This was followed a renewed downtrend in mid-February, but the share then rose strongly towards the end of the quarter, achieving a year-todate high of EUR 3.29 on March 18. In Xetra trading, the share price closed at EUR 3.10 at month-end. Since then, it has lost ground slightly again. The closing price on May 17 was EUR 2.88.
In the first three months of 2013 we provided timely information for our shareholders and the general public on current business trends, specific events and the company's prospects. This year's press conference to mark the publication of the annual report for 2012 attracted considerable interest from analysts and investors. As usual, the presentation and speech given at the press conference can be accessed on the company's homepage at Investor Relations/Publications (available in German only).
InTiCa Systems once again plans to meet up with investors, analysts and financial journalist at the Munich Capital Markets Conference (MKK), the biggest capital market conference in southern Germany.

Group sales increased by around 11% year-on-year to EUR 9.9 million in the first three months of 2013. At the same time, EBITDA was EUR 1.4 million (2012: EUR 1.3 million). The ratio of material costs to total output remained low at 61.6%, and the personnel cost ratio was reduced from 17% to 16% despite an increase in the number of employees. EBIT was EUR 0.3 million in the reporting period (Q1 2012: EUR 0.3 million) and the EBIT margin slipped to 2.8% (Q1 2012: 2.9%). The Automotive Technology segment continued to grow in the first quarter of 2013, with sales rising by around 10%. Sales in the Communication Technology segment increased by more than 50% and the decline in sales in the Industrial Electronics segment was reduced considerably to minus 3%.
The equity ratio decreased to around 55% in the reporting period (December 31, 2012: 58%) as a consequence of higher current liabilities. The operating cash flow was still negative at minus EUR 0.6 million in the first quarter of 2013 due to the increase in inventories and trade accounts receivable. Moreover, around EUR 0.6 million was spent on selective investments in expansion and modernization of production capacities in the first quarter.
Group sales increased roughly 11% to EUR 9.9 million in the first three months of 2013, up from EUR 8.9 million in the first quarter of 2102, with sales increasing 10% to EUR 5.1 million in the Automotive Technology segment (Q1 2012: EUR 4.6 million) and 52% to EUR 1.9 million in the Communication Technology segment (Q1 2012: EUR 1.2 million). In view of the continued difficult situation in the European solar sector, sales declined further in the Industrial Electronics segment, but the year-on-year decline was only 3% to EUR 2.9 million (Q1 2012: EUR 3.0 million).
There was a slight improvement in the ratio of material costs to total output from 60.4% in the first three months of 2012 to 61.6% in the first three months of 2013. Despite the increased headcount, the personnel expense ratio was reduced from 17% to 16%. The costs for temporary staff at the Prachatice production site, which are recognized in "Other expenses", declined to EUR 0.2 million (Q1 2012: EUR 0.2 million). In all, "Other expenses" decreased to EUR 1.0 million (Q1 2012: EUR 0.9 million). Depreciation and amortization of intangible assets and property, plant and equipment totalled EUR 1.1 million, virtually unchanged from the previous year (EUR 1.1 million).
Spending on research and development was around EUR 0.5 million, slightly above the previous year's level of EUR 0.4 million. Development work focused principally on the Automotive Technology and Industrial Electronics segments.
EBITDA rose 7% year-on-year to EUR 1.4 million in Q1 2013 (Q1 2012: EUR 1.3 million). The EBITDA margin was 14.3%.
Group EBIT was EUR 0.3 million in the reporting period (Q1 2012: EUR 0.3 million). The EBIT margin therefore slipped slightly from 2.9% in Q1 2012 to 2.8% in Q1 2013. In the Automotive Technology segment, EBIT was unchanged from the previous year at EUR 0.3 million (Q1 2012: EUR 0.3 million). In the Industrial Electronics segment, it improved to EUR 0.2 million (Q1 2012: EUR 0.02 million). Only the Communication Technology segment again reported negative EBIT of minus EUR 0.2 million (Q1 2012: minus EUR 0.1 million).
The financial result was minus EUR 0.1 million in the reporting period (Q1 2012: minus EUR 0.1 million). Taking into account tax expense of EUR 26 thousand (Q1 2012: EUR 62 thousand), the Group's net income in the first three months of 2013 was EUR 0.14 million (Q1 2012: EUR 0.06 million) and earnings per share were EUR 0.03 (Q1 2012: EUR 0.01).
As a result of currency translation losses of EUR 0.25 million (Q1 2012: gains of EUR 0.5 million) from the translation of foreign business operations, comprehensive income was minus EUR 0.1 million in the first three months of 2013 (Q1 2012: EUR 0.6 million).
Non-current assets declined to EUR 20.3 million as of March 31, 2013 (December 31, 2012: EUR 20.9 million) because depreciation and amortization exceeded capital expenditures for property, plant and equipment and intangible assets.
Current assets increased to EUR 15.0 million as of March 31, 2013 (December 31, 2012: EUR 12.6 million). Inventories increased from EUR 6.2 million to EUR 6.9 million in the reporting period, trade receivables rose from EUR 4.7 million to EUR 6.4 million and other current receivables rose from EUR 0.3 million to EUR 0.6 million. At the same time, cash and cash equivalents dropped to EUR 1.0 million (December 31, 2012: EUR 1.4 million).
Short-term liabilities rose to EUR 5.5 million in Q1 2013 (December 31, 2012: EUR 3.3 million). Current liabilities to banks rose from EUR 1.1 million to EUR 2.5 million and trade payables were increased from EUR 1.3 million to EUR 2.1 million in the reporting period.
Non-current liabilities declined slightly to around EUR 10.4 million in the reporting period, down from EUR 10.6 million as non-current liabilities to banks dropped from EUR 8.9 million to EUR 8.8 million due to scheduled repayment instalments, and deferred taxes were EUR 1.6 million, unchanged from December 31, 2012.
Equity decreased in the first three months of 2013, from EUR 19.5 million as of December 31, 2012 to EUR 19.4 million as of March 31, 2013. The slight decline in the reporting period was attributable to the increase in the negative currency translation reserve from minus EUR 0.1 million to minus EUR 0.4 million as a result of currency translation differences. At the same time, profit reserves increased by the same amount as the result for the period, from EUR 0.1 million to EUR 0.2 million. Total equity and liabilities increased to EUR 35.3 million in the reporting period (December 31, 2012: ER 33.4 million) and the equity ratio dropped from 58% to 55%.
The net cash outflow for operating activities was EUR 0.6 million in the first three months (Q1 2012: inflow of EUR 0.5 million). The cash outflow was mainly due to the increase in inventories and trade receivables in the first quarter, with cash inflows expected for these items in subsequent quarters. Excluding interest payments, the cash outflow for operating activities was EUR 0.5 million (Q1 2012: inflow of EUR 0.7 million).
The net cash outflow for investing activities was EUR 1.0 million in the reporting period (Q1 2012: EUR 0.9 million). Investment in intangible assets totalled EUR 0.4 million (Q1 2012: EUR 0.3 million) and investment in property, plant and equipment was EUR 0.6 million (Q1 2012: EUR 0.4 million), so both positions were above the year-back level. Capital expenditures were mainly for selective expansion and modernization of production capacities. The cash inflow in the previous year was due to the one-off effect of redemption of a EUR 1.5 million bonded loan granted by the company.
The net cash outflow for financing activities was EUR 0.3 million in Q1 2013, as in the comparable quarter of 2012 (Q1 2012: outflow of EUR 0.3 million). In the reporting period, cash outflows related solely to scheduled loan repayment instalments totalling EUR 0.25 million and leasing expenses of EUR 20 thousand.
Cash and cash equivalents (less overdrafts) were minus EUR 0.9 million as of March 31, 2013 (March 31, 2012: EUR
0.6 million). Thanks to an additional overdraft facility, in future InTiCa Systems will be able to draw on assured credit facilities totalling EUR 4.2 million.
On March 31, 2013, the headcount was 439 (including temporary workers) and thus above the year-back level (March 31, 2012: 413). On average, the Group had 434 employees in the reporting period (Q1 2012: 415).
The management report in the annual report for 2012 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.
No material events have occurred since the reporting date on March 31, 2013.
Economic uncertainty will continue to dominate overall economic conditions in 2013. The deterioration in the business situation in the Communication Technology segment will be offset by the orders on hand in the Automotive Technology segment, and Industrial Electronics is expected to post a slight rise in sales. In addition, all three segments have new products that should given them opportunities to gain access to further markets. Customerspecific solutions, combined with increased vertical integration and systems solution competence, are a key competitive advantage for InTiCa Systems. In the opinion of the Board of Directors, in terms of costs and products InTiCa Systems is still well-positioned for the remainder of this year.
Orders on hand were around EUR 34 million as of March 31, 2013, once again well above the year-back level (March 31, 2012: EUR 27.6 million), so capacity utilization in the subsequent quarters is expected to be better than in 2012.
For 2013 as a whole, the Board of Directors currently assumes that, providing overall economic growth is a least moderate, there will be a perceptible rise in sales and earnings. Overall, the Board of Directors expects Group sales in 2013 to be around EUR 40 million, with an EBITDA margin of around 15% and an EBIT margin of around 3%.
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 2012.
The unaudited consolidated interim financial statements for InTiCa Systems AG and its subsidiary as of March 31, 2013 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.
This quarterly report contains statements and forecasts referring to the future development of InTiCa Systems AG, which are based on current assumptions and estimates by the management that are made using information currently available to them. If the underlying assumptions do not materialize, the actual figures may differ substantially from such estimates. Future performance and developments depend on a wide variety of factors which contain a number of risks and unforeseeable factors and are based on assumptions that may prove incorrect. We neither intend nor assume any obligation to update forward-looking statements on an ongoing basis as these are based exclusively on the circumstances prevailing on the date of publication.

The consolidated interim financial statements of InTiCa Systems AG as of March 31, 2013, 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 2012, which were drawn up in accordance with 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 three-month period ending on March 31, 2013. Comparative data refer to the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2012 or the consolidated interim financial statements as of March 31, 2012. 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 2012. This is available at Investor Relations/Publications on the company's website at http://www.intica-systems.de.
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.
There has been no change in the scope of consolidation of InTiCa Systems AG compared with fiscal 2012. Alongside the parent company in Passau, Germany, only InTiCa Systems s.r.o. of Prachatice, Czech Republic, is included in the consolidated interim financial statements. The parent company has a stake of 100% in this subsidiary.

Sales revenues rose to EUR 9,851 thousand in Q1 2013, up from EUR 8,872 thousand in Q1 2012.

The capital stock of InTiCa Systems AG is EUR 4,287,000 and is divided into 4,287,000 no-par bearer shares, with a theoretical pro rata share of the capital stock of EUR 1.00 per share. InTiCa Systems' equity ratio of around 55% as of March 31, 2013 (December 31, 2012: 58%) shows that it is still soundly financed.
The net cash outflow for operating activities was EUR 645 thousand in the first three months of 2013 (Q1 2012: inflow of EUR 465 thousand).
