InTiCa Systems AG did well in the first nine months of 2013. Sales rose 3.9 percent to EUR 28.6 million, EBITDA increased 18.2 percent to EUR 4.3 million, EBIT more than doubled to EUR 0.8 million and net profit for the period increased strongly to EUR 0.4 million, showing that InTiCa is on the right track. There was slight rise in sales and, above all, an improvement in the earnings situation. With an EBITDA margin of 15.1 percent and an EBIT margin of 2.7 percent, we are still on course to achieve our targets at yearend.
The underlying cost-savings and improvements in production efficiency were particularly important since the competitive situation in the markets in which we operate and the economic framework were not always easy in the reporting period. This was felt most keenly by the Industrial Electronics and Communication Technology segments. Industrial Electronics reported positive earnings despite a significant drop in sales caused by the difficult situation faced by manufacturers in the solar industry. By contrast, increased competition from Asia resulted in an operating loss in the Communication Technology segment, although there was only a slight drop in sales. To counter this, we are continuing to drive forward the development and marketing of innovative products in order to enter new markets and further reduce dependencies.
Our repositioning from a component producer to a solution provider is already well advanced in the Automotive Technology segment. The successful expansion of the value chain and the associated diversification of the product range are evident from the fact that InTiCa's parts are now used in more than 250 models produced by 19 automobile manufacturers. That is also reflected in the relevant financial indicators: in the first nine months of 2013, this segment reported year-on-year sales growth of around 17 percent and increased its operating result by nearly 33 percent.
Alongside consistent implementation of our corporate strategy, the upturn in demand on the German car market in recent weeks contributed to this excellent segment result. Since increasingly positive signals are also coming from our other markets, we are looking forward optimistically. The solar market could have bottomed out, paving the way for a possible turnaround in the coming year. Another sign could be the fact that orders on hand totalled EUR 38 million on
September 30, 2013, a rise of more than 30 percent compared with a year ago. In terms of costs and products the InTiCa Group is positioned so that it can utilize opportunities.
Passau November, 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 September 30, 2013
The global economic outlook remains subdued in the second half of 2013. Major uncertainties in Europe include, in particular, the continued debt crisis and the ongoing reform of the financial sector, while the upcoming change in monetary policy in the USA and slower economic growth in China are global risks. In its latest "World Economic Outlook" published in October, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) therefore sees more risks than opportunities overall and is only forecasting global economic growth of 2.9 percent for this year. That is 0.3 percentage points below its July forecast. By contrast, the IMF experts have upped their forecast for Germany and the euro zone slightly. They now expect economic output in the euro zone to contract by 0.4 percent in 2013, compared with the previous forecast of 0.6 percent. Similarly, the German economy is expected to grow by 0.5 percent rather than 0.3 percent.
While economic output in Germany seemed in danger of stagnating at the start of the year, in their most recent joint forecast the leading German economic research institutes now predict an upward trend. Driven by domestic demand, which is benefiting from favourable prospects for employment and incomes, the German economy is poised for an upturn in 2014. This confidence is also reflected in the automotive industry. According to the industry association VDA, German car production increased considerably year-on-year in August and September. In the industrial electronics sector, producers of electronic assemblies registered a rise in order intake in the second quarter of 2013, following a slump in the previous two quarters. Even the photovoltaic market, which is very important for InTiCa Systems AG but has been suffering particularly badly, is reporting somewhat more positive signs. According to the German Engineering Federation (VDMA), order intake was positive up to the end of the third quarter. Nevertheless, photovoltaic suppliers anticipate that sales will contract by about 12 percent over the year as a whole because overcapacity, price pressure and consolidation are continuing. A turnaround is not expected until 2014 at the earliest. The telecommunications industry expects to report growth this year. The Federal Association for Information Technology, Telecommunications and New Media (BITKOM) forecasts that market volume will increase by 1.4 percent to EUR 66.3 billion.
The share performed positively in the first nine months of 2013 and the share price rose by around 10 percent in the reporting period. Shares started the year at EUR 2.90 on January 2. Over the following months they traded in a range of EUR 2.80 to EUR 3.30 in volatile market conditions, before dropping to a low for the period of EUR 2.80 on May 13, 2013. Following the announcement of the positive first quarter result at the end of May, the price rose considerably and the share subsequently traded between EUR 3.10 and EUR 3.60. The highest share price in the reporting period was EUR 3.52 on August 22. The price then slipped back slightly, closing the first nine months at EUR 3.18 in Xetra trading on September 30. Till the close of trading on November 15 the stock price recovered and rose to EUR 3.38.
In the first nine 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. At the Annual General Meeting in Passau on July 5, 2013, shareholders were given information on fiscal 2012 and the present situation at InTiCa Systems AG. As usual, the presentations given at this year's AGM can be downloaded from Investor Relations/Annual General Meeting on the company's homepage [available in German only].
InTiCa Systems will be giving a presentation for investors, analysts and financial journalists at this year's Munich Capital Markets Conference (MKK) on December 4, 2013. This is the biggest capital market conference in southern Germany.

The InTiCa Systems Group grew sales by around 4 percent year-on-year to EUR 28.6 million in the first nine months of 2013. Since it also managed to reduce its material cost ratio and personnel expense ratio, earnings improved considerably. EBITDA rose more than 18 percent year-onyear from EUR 3.6 million to EUR 4.3 million while EBIT doubled from EUR 0.4 million to EUR 0.8 million. This had a corresponding impact on profit margins: the EBITDA margin improved from 13.2 percent to 15.1 percent and the EBIT margin increased from 1.4 percent to 2.7 percent. The principal factor in this was the performance of the Automotive Technology segment, which grew sales 17.0 percent and reported an EBIT margin of 6.9 percent.
The equity ratio declined slightly to 56 percent at the end of the reporting period, compared with 58 percent as of December 31, 2012 mainly because current liabilities to banks rose from EUR 1.1 million to EUR 2.4 million in connection with financing for the increase in sales. The operating cash flow was clearly positive at EUR 1.2 million in the first nine months of 2013. However, overall there was a cash outflow of EUR 2.0 million in the reporting period (9M 2012: inflow of EUR 0.5 million) due to higher investment in intangible assets and property, plant and equipment as well as repayment instalments on loans and leasing rates.
In the first nine months of 2013, Group sales increased to EUR 28.6 million, up from EUR 27.5 million in the first nine months of 2012. That was an increase of nearly 4 percent and was attributable to the extremely positive development of the Automotive Technology segment. This segment lifted sales by around 17 percent to EUR 16.3 million in the reporting period (9M 2012: EUR 13.9 million). By contrast, sales declined in the other segments. While sales only contracted slightly from EUR 4.7 million to EUR 4.6 million in the Communication Technology segment, the Industrial Electronics segment registered a drop of 13 percent to EUR 7.7 million (9M 2012: EUR 8.9 million) as a result of the difficult situation faced by customers in the solar industry.
This situation is also reflected in the results for the third quarter. The Automotive Technology segment benefited from rising global demand for cars and increased penetration of its products in various models, enabling it to grow sales significantly to EUR 5.8 million (Q3 2012: EUR 4.9 million). By contrast, sales dropped significantly in the other two segments. In the Communication Technology segment sales fell to EUR 1.4 million in the third quarter of 2013 (Q3 2012: EUR 2.2 million), while in Industrial Electronics sales were EUR 1.9 million (Q3 2012: EUR 2.4 million).
Expenses increased in the reporting period, in line with the rise in sales. Expenditures for raw materials and supplies rose by a good 5 percent in the first nine months to EUR 17.6 million (9M 2012: EUR 16.7 million). However, relative to total output the material cost ratio declined from 60.4 percent in the prior-year period to 59.4 percent. The personnel expense ratio (including temporary workers) also declined slightly year-on-year in the reporting period from 17.1 percent to 16.9 percent, although the average number of employees (excluding agency staff) increased from 347 to 366 due to the good order situation. Depreciation and amortization of intangible assets, property, plant and equipment totalled EUR 3.5 million in the first nine months of 2013 (9M 2012: EUR 3.3 million). Other expenses also increased slightly from EUR 3.0 million to EUR 3.1 million. Expenses for research and development were unchanged at EUR 1.6 million in the reporting period. Overall, the increase in EBITDA in the first nine months of 2013 was even higher, rising 18 percent from EUR 3.6 million to EUR 4.3 million. The EBITDA margin therefore increased from 13.2 percent to 15.1 percent. InTiCa Systems AG posted a strong improvement in operating profit in the reporting period: Group EBIT doubled from EUR 0.4 million to EUR 0.8 million. This is also reflected in the EBIT margin, which improved from 1.4 percent to 2.7 percent. This performance was driven principally by the Automotive Technology segment, which reported EBIT of EUR 1.1. million in the reporting period (9M 2012: EUR 0.8 million) and therefore increased its margin to 6.9 percent (9M 2012: 6.1 percent). Industrial Electronics also posted a clear improvement in the first nine months of 2013, returning to profit with EBIT of EUR 0.2 million (9M 2012: minus EUR 0.1 million), and a margin of 2.5 percent (9M 2012: minus 1.3 percent). Only the Communication Technology segment posted negative EBIT of minus EUR 0.5 million in the first nine months of 2013 (9M 2012: minus 0.4 million).
Automotive Technology was the best-performing segment in the third quarter of 2013, as in the first nine months, with EBIT of EUR 0.4 million (Q3 2012: EUR 0.2 million). By contrast both Communication Technology and Industrial Electronics reported operating losses. EBIT was minus EUR 0.2 million in the Communication Technology segment in Q3 2013 (Q3 2012: minus EUR 0.1 million) and minus EUR 0.1 million in the Industrial Electronics segment (Q3 2012: minus EUR 0.1 million).
The financial result was minus EUR 0.4 million at the end of the first nine months of 2013 and thus virtually unchanged year-on-year. Taking into account tax expense of EUR 66 thousand (9M 2012: tax income of EUR 19 thousand), the interim result for the Group in the first nine months of 2013 was EUR 0.4 million (9M 2012: EUR 25 thousand). Earnings per share were EUR 0.08 (9M 2012: EUR 0.01). As a result of currency translation losses of EUR 0.3 million (9M 2012: gains of EUR 0.4 million) from the translation of foreign business operations, comprehensive income was EUR 0.1 million in the first nine months of 2013 (9M 2012: EUR 0.4 million).
In the reporting period, capital expenditures for intangible assets, property, plant and equipment were lower than depreciation and amortization. As of September 30, 2013, non-current assets therefore decreased to EUR 19.3 million (December 31, 2012: EUR 20.9 million).
Current assets increased considerably in the first nine months of 2013, from EUR 12.6 million to EUR 15.9 million. As a result of the positive sales trend, inventories increased from EUR 6.2 million to EUR 7.9 million and trade receivables rose from EUR 4.7 million to EUR 6.3 million. Other financial assets and other receivables also increased. Cash and cash equivalents declined from EUR 1.4 million to EUR 1.0 million in the reporting period.
Current liabilities increased from EUR 3.3 million on December 31, 2012 to EUR 5.5 million on September 30, 2013. Current liabilities to banks rose from EUR 1.1 million to EUR 2.4 million and trade payables increased from EUR 1.3 million to EUR 1.8 million. By contrast, non-current liabilities to banks declined from EUR 8.9 million to EUR 8.6 million as a result of scheduled repayment instalments. In all, non-current liabilities therefore dropped from EUR 10.6 million to EUR 10.1 million.
The company's equity increased slightly in the first nine months of 2013 from EUR 19.5 million to EUR 19.6 million: the profit reserve increased faster than the reduction in the currency translation reserve, rising from EUR 60 thousand to EUR 0.4 million thanks to the positive interim result. Total assets increased from EUR 33.4 million as of December 31, 2012 to EUR 35.2 million, so the equity ratio decreased slightly from 58 percent to 56 percent.
The net cash flow from operating activities was EUR 1.2 million in the first nine months of 2013 (9M 2012: EUR 1.5 million). This was mainly due to the third quarter, when a very positive contribution of EUR 1.1 million was recorded. However, in view of the positive sales trend, there was a considerable increase in trade receivables and especially in inventories compared with the same period of 2012. Excluding interest payments, the cash inflow from operating activities was EUR 1.6 million (9M 2012: EUR 1.9 million).
There was a net cash outflow of EUR 2.5 million for investing activities, compared with a cash outflow of EUR 0.4 million in the prior-year period. The change was due, on the one hand, to higher investment in property, plant and equipment in the reporting period (EUR 1.4 million compared with EUR 0.9 million in 9M 2012) and, on the other hand, to the scheduled repayment of a EUR 1.5 million bonded loan in the previous year. Capital expenditures for intangible assets were almost unchanged at EUR 1.1 million (9M 2012: EUR 1.0 million).
The net cash flow for financing activities hardly changed in the first nine months of 2013 compared with the first nine months of 2012, with a cash outflow of EUR 0.7 million. Cash outflows in the reporting period comprised scheduled loan repayment instalments of EUR 0.6 million and leasing expenses of EUR 0.1 million.
Overall, there was a cash outflow of EUR 2.0 million in the first nine months of 2013 (9M 2012: inflow of EUR 0.5 million). However, in the third quarter the cash flow was slightly positive at EUR 8 thousand. Viewed over the entire reporting period, as of September 30, 2013 cash and cash equivalents (less overdraft facilities drawn) declined from minus EUR 30 thousand a year earlier to minus EUR 978 thousand. Irrespective of this, InTiCa Systems has assured credit facilities which can be drawn at any time totalling EUR 4.2 million.
On September 30, 2013 InTiCa Systems AG had 434 employees (including agency staff). The number of employees was therefore unchanged from December 31, 2012. Year-on-year there was a slight increase from 426 as of September 30, 2012. On average, the Group had 432 employees in the reporting period (9M 2012: 418).
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 September 30, 2013.
Despite the difficult market situation that affected some areas of the business in the third quarter, the Board of Directors of InTiCa Systems AG expects the positive trend to continue over the year as a whole. This is based, not least, on the forecast economic uptrend that has become visible in the past few weeks, and the increase in orders on hand in the Group. Orders totalled EUR 38 million on September 30, 2013, an increase of more than 30 percent compared with the previous year.
The Automotive Technology segment should continue to drive sales and earnings. Orders on hand in this segment amounted to EUR 26.5 million as of September 30, 2013, which was almost 70 percent of total orders on hand. In the Industrial Electronics segment, regenerative energies and further new developments should provide growth impetus in the medium term. 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.
At present the Board of Directors still assumes that there will be a perceptible rise in sales and earnings in FY 2013 as a whole. Overall, it therefore expects Group sales in 2013 to be slightly below EUR 40 million, with an EBITDA margin of around 15 percent and an EBIT margin of around 3 percent.
The unaudited consolidated interim financial statements for InTiCa Systems AG and its subsidiary as of September 30, 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 nine months 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.

The notes to the consolidated financial statements in the annual report for 2012 contain a detailed overview of the assets allocated to each segment. There has not been any material change in the assets allocated to the segments since December 31, 2012.
In the first nine months of 2013, Group sales increased to EUR 28,593 thousand, up from EUR 27,525 thousand in the first nine months of 2012. The 3.9 percent rise was entirely due to the positive sales trend in the Automotive Technology segment, whereas the Communication Technology and Industrial Electronics segments registered a drop in sales in the reporting period. EBITDA improved faster, rising 18.2 percent from EUR 3,643 thousand to EUR 4,306 million as a result of considerable cost savings. Comprehensive income at the end of the first nine months declined from EUR 432 thousand to EUR 104 thousand due to translation losses on the currency translation of foreign business operations.
Following a considerable year-on-year rise in the first six months, sales declined slightly year-on-year from EUR 9.5 million to EUR 9.1 million in the third quarter. The strong rise in sales revenue in the Automotive Technology segment did not fully offset the drop in the other two segments. However, since the improvement in cost structures was driven forward, EBITDA increased from EUR 1.2 million to EUR 1.3 million. After adjustment for currency translation losses on the currency translation of foreign business operations, comprehensive income was EUR 88 thousand in the third quarter of 2013 (Q3 2012: EUR 290 thousand).
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. With an equity ratio of around 56 percent
(December 31, 2012: 58 percent), the company is still soundly financed.
The slight reduction in the equity ratio is attributable to higher capital requirements resulting from the positive business performance in the reporting period. Consequently, current liabilities to banks increased from EUR 1,072 thousand to EUR 2,350 thousand in the reporting period while trade payables increased from EUR 1,347 thousand to EUR 1,831 thousand. By contrast, non-current liabilities to banks declined from EUR 8.931 thousand to EUR 8,615 thousand as a result of scheduled repayment instalments. Overall, non-current liabilities therefore dropped from EUR 10,575 thousand to EUR 10,146 thousand.
The net cash flow from operating activities decreased from EUR 1,517 thousand to EUR 1,211 thousand in the first nine months of 2013. The total cash outflow was EUR 1,961 thousand in the reporting period (2012: inflow of EUR 470 thousand). Cash and cash equivalents therefore declined from EUR 984 thousand as of December 31, 2012 to minus EUR 978 thousand as of September 30, 2013. Given the increase in sales, inventories increased from EUR 6,172 thousand to EUR 7,852 thousand in the reporting period. In line with this, trade receivables increased from EUR 4,722 thousand to EUR 6,272 thousand.
The Board of Directors is authorized by a resolution of the Annual General Meeting of July 6, 2012 to increase the capital stock with the Supervisory Board's consent, up to July 5, 2017, by a total of up to EUR 2,143,500.00 in return for cash or contributions in kind under exclusion of shareholders' subscription rights (authorized capital 2012/I).
Material events after the reporting date (September 30, 2013) are outlined in the section on events after the reporting period in the management report.
In compliance with sec. 161 of the German Stock Corporation Act (AktG), the Board of Directors and Supervisory Board have made their current declaration of conformance with the German Corporate Governance Code available permanently to shareholders on the company's website at http://www.intica-systems.de, Investor Relations/ Corporate Governance.
The Board of Directors and Supervisory Board do not have any stock subscription rights within the meaning of sec. 160 paragraph 1 nos. 2 and 5 of the German Stock Corporation Act (AktG).
As of September 30, 2013 InTiCa Systems AG held 64,430 treasury shares. Treasury shares were not eligible for the dividend and had no voting rights at the company's Annual General Meeting in Passau, Germany, on July 5, 2013.
All shares have the same voting rights and dividend claims. The only exceptions are shares held by the company (treasury shares), which do not confer any rights on the company. There are no shares in the company with special rights according rights of control.
The rights and obligations of the shareholders are set out in detail in the German Stock Corporation Act (AktG), in particular in sec. 12, sec. 53a et seq., sec. 118 et seq. and sec. 186. Restrictions on the voting rights of shares could result from statutory provisions (sec. 71b and sec.136 AktG). The Board of Directors is not aware of any other restrictions on the exercise of voting rights or the transfer of shares.
No material transactions were conducted with related parties in the reporting period.
There are no agreements that confer specific rights on contractual partners in the event of a change in the company's shareholder or ownership structure.
There are no compensation agreements with either members of the Board of Directors or employees relating to a takeover bid.
