Foreword by the Board of Directors
Dear shareholders, employees and business associates,
In the first half of 2014 we made a further step forward in our ongoing repositioning from a component supplier to a solution provider. Thanks to the development and manufacturing capacities built up in recent months and years, we now have clear systems expertise, especially in the Automotive Technology segment, and have established ourselves as a reliable partner for system suppliers. We can therefore report further profitable growth in the first six months of 2014. Group sales increased slightly to EUR 19.7 million, a rise of 0.7% year-on-year, and the profit in the first six months increased from EUR 358 thousand to EUR 409 thousand.
The positive overall trend in the first half of this year was once again driven by continued dynamic growth in the Automotive Technology segment. Sales grew 23.5%, providing further evidence that the portfolio of products for applications in hybrid and electric vehicles, keyless entry/go systems, filters to reduce interference and safety products developed over the years has been the right choice. We have achieved our goal of being recognized as a development partner. This is also reflected in the improvement in segment EBIT to EUR 0.8 million (H1 2013: EUR 0.7 million).
To enable us to generate further sales growth in the future, in the first six months of this year we took orders on hand as a basis to continue our investment to raise capacity in the Automotive Technology segment. In addition, we drove forward investment in the development and marketing of innovative products. The Industrial Electronics segment is also looking ahead confidently. Although sales contracted 20.5% to EUR 4.6 million in the first six months of 2014 owing to the persistently tough business situation, the segment is still very profitable and raised its EBIT margin from 5.2% to 5.9%. Moreover, initial success in the refocusing of this segment is becoming visible: for some months we have been working intensively on the development and commercialization of actuator coils for industrial transport equipment, gas combustion systems and exhaust gas regulators. In this field, we have obtained B sample orders from well-known customers and expect to post initial sales from serial production in the second half of 2015.
The downward trend in the Communication Technology segment continued. Sales fell 36.2% to EUR 2.0 million and the segment reported negative EBIT of minus EUR 0.4 million. Regrettably, it has become evident that developing
filter technology for coaxial networks is more difficult and more-time consuming than we had expected compared with the development of filter technology for copper wire networks. However, in the long term this know-how will also be beneficial in the industrial engineering and automotive technology markets, where we are increasingly gaining access to EMC filter technology.
Although the development of the Communication Technology segment is unsatisfactory, thanks to the increased focus on the industrial and automotive markets and the company's strategic repositioning as a solution provider, half way through the year we are on track to achieve our overall targets for 2014. Together with increased vertical integration and systems solution competence, offering customer-specific solutions is a key competitive advantage for InTiCa Systems. We would especially like to thank our employees, whose commitment and identification are the key to the positive development of InTiCa Systems AG. At the same time, we would like thank our shareholders for the confidence they place in us. We will continue to work hard to justify their trust.
Passau, August 2014 Yours,
Chairman of the Member of the Board of Directors Board of Directors
Walter Brückl Günther Kneidinger
InTiCa Systems' share price performance1)
Having gained around 44% in 2013, shares in InTiCa Systems AG started this year at EUR 4.40.

Interim Management Report of the Group
for the period from January 1 to June 30, 2014
Economic report
General economic conditions
The economic situation in Germany improved further in the first months of this year. With financing conditions remaining favourable and international conditions brightening, overall industrial output looks set to rise in the second half of the year as well. The Kiel Institute for the World Economy (IfW) therefore predicts that Germany's gross domestic product (GDP) will grow by 2.0 percent. It is forecasting higher capital spending, driven by the expansionary monetary conditions. Moreover, good labour market prospects, low interest rates and rising disposable incomes are expected to bring a considerable increase in consumer spending. Foreign trade is also expected to pick up, with the IfW anticipating that imports will rise faster than exports due to the rise in consumer spending.
The global economy was somewhat weaker in the first half of 2014 and momentum was low. This was due partly to specific factors in the advanced economies, for example, the exceptionally harsh winter in the United States, and partly to the low momentum in the emerging markets, where economic expansion was held back by a deterioration in financing conditions. While momentum in the emerging markets is expected to remain subdued in the remainder of this year, economic growth in the advanced economies should gradually pick up. Overall, the IfW predicts that global output will rise by 3.5 percent this year.
Confidence is also high in the markets of relevance for InTiCa Systems AG. The German Automotive Industry Association (VDA) expects the global car market to increase by about 4% to 75.9 million vehicles in 2014. The large US and Chinese markets in particular are continuing to grow. In addition, the western European car market should improve this year, after a four year decline, and should just exceed the 12 million threshold. In the first six months of this year, demand for new cars in western Europe increased by just over 5 percent to 6.4 million vehicles.
The global market for electrical and electronic products will also grow further this year according to the latest analysis by the German Electrical and Electronic Manufacturers' Association (ZVEI). Order intake by producers of electronic assemblies grew strongly in the first quarter of 2014, posting an improvement of 9.6 percent year-on-year. The trend in the photovoltaic market, which is particularly important for InTiCa Systems' Industrial Electronics segment, was less satisfactory. According to the German Solar Industry Association, by the end of May new solar installations with rated power of just 818 megawatts had been installed. The market therefore contracted by 45 percent year-on-year. This was caused by a substantial deterioration in the political framework. Although the sharp downturn on the German market is expected to continue, global demand for photovoltaic systems will probably rise 20 percent in 2014 as a result of a sharp drop in costs and the increasing competitiveness of solar power.
BITKOM, the association representing Germany's ICT and new media sector, expects the sector to grow by 4.5 percent this year. The forecast for the telecommunications market is for above-average growth of 5.0 percent to EUR 1.74 trillion. Revenues from telecommunications infrastructure should therefore rise 7.9 percent to EUR 462 billion. Analogously to this, BITKOM assumes that the German ICT market will grow by 1.7 percent to EUR 153.4 billion in 2014. In line with this, the BITKOM index reflecting economic expectations in the sector increased 5 points to 72 points in the most recent survey. This is due in part to the excellent business conditions – some three quarters of sector members (74 percent) posted higher sales in the first half of the year – and in part to the positive outlook. 80 percent of manufacturers of telecommunications equipment expect sales to rise in the next six months.
Earnings, asset and financial position
Group sales posted a slight rise of 0.7% year-on-year to EUR 19.7 million in the first six months of 2014. This was driven by a continuation of the very favourable business trend in the Automotive Technology segment, which grew by 23.5%. EBITDA slipped 7.7% to EUR 2.8 million despite the increase in sales because the rise in the headcount pushed the personnel expense ratio up to 18.6% and other expenses rose from EUR 2.0 million to EUR 2.4 million in the reporting period. By contrast, the material cost ratio dropped from 59.6% to 56.9% of total output. EBIT was EUR 0.6 million in the reporting period (H1 2013: EUR 0.7 million), giving an EBIT margin of 3.2% (H1 2013: 3.6%). Overall, the Group achieved a positive interim result of EUR 0.4 million.
The operating cash flow was negative at minus EUR 0.7 million in the first six months. This was mainly attributable to the increase in trade receivables, which should result in a cash inflow in the remainder of the year. In addition, higher capital expenditure for property, plant and equipment, mainly for the Automotive Technology segment, and repayments instalments on loans and leasing resulted in an overall cash outflow of around EUR 4.4 million in the reporting period (H1 2013: outflow of EUR 2.0 million). The equity ratio declined to 53% in the reporting period (December 31, 2013: 57%).
Overall, the figures for the first six months highlight the need to develop and commercialize innovative new products to reduce dependence on specific markets and generate healthy growth. Although the development of the Communication Technology segment is unsatisfactory, thanks to the increased focus on the industrial and automotive markets and the company's strategic repositioning as a solution provider, half way through the year we are on track to achieve our overall targets for 2014.
Earnings position
InTiCa Systems AG grew consolidated sales slightly from EUR 19.5 million to EUR 19.7 million in the first half of 2014. This increase of 0.7% was attributable to the sustained dynamic growth of the Automotive Technology segment, where sales advanced 23.5% to EUR 13.0 million (H1 2013: EUR 10.6 million). By contrast, sales dropped 36.2% to EUR 2.0 million (H1 2013: EUR 3.2 million) in the Communication Technology segment and 20.5% to EUR 4.6 million (H1 2013: EUR 5.8 million) in the Industrial Electronics segment.
There was a clear year-on-year reduction in the ratio of material costs to total output from 59.6% to 56.9% despite the slight increase in sales. By contrast, the personnel expense ratio increased from 16.4% to 18.6% as a result of an increase in the headcount. Other operating expenses increased from EUR 2.0 million in the prior period to EUR 2.4 million. This figure includes expenses of EUR 0.2 million (H1 2013: EUR 0.3 million) for agency staff at the Prachatice site. Depreciation and amortization of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets totalled EUR 2.2 million, slightly below the previous year's level of EUR 2.3 million. Spending on research and development was around EUR 1.1 million, about the same as in the previous year. Development work focused principally on the Automotive Technology and Industrial Electronics segments.
In all, Group EBITDA decreased 7.7% to EUR 2.8 million in the first six months of 2014 (H1 2013: EUR 3.0 million). The EBITDA margin therefore declined from 15.5% to 14.2%. The picture was similar for EBIT: Group EBIT slipped slightly from EUR 0.7 million to EUR 0.6 million, which equates to a year-on-year decline in the EBIT margin from 3.6% to 3.2%. While EBIT increased to EUR 0.8 million in the Automotive Technology segment in the first six months of 2014 (H1 2013: EUR 0.7 million), it slipped back slightly to EUR 0.27 million in Industrial Electronics (H1 2013: EUR 0.30 million), but the EBIT margin improved from 5.2% to 5.9%. Only the Communication Technology segment again reported negative EBIT of minus EUR 0.4 million (H1 2013: minus EUR 0.3 million).
The financial result was unchanged year-on-year at minus EUR 0.2 million. Since the tax expense of EUR 27 thousand was far lower than in the first half of 2013, the Group's next income increased to EUR 0.41 million in the first six months of 2014 (H1 2013: EUR 0.36 million), giving earnings per share of EUR 0.10 (H1 2013: EUR 0.08).
As a result of currency translation losses of EUR 10 thousand (H1 2013: EUR 342 thousand) from the translation of foreign business operations, comprehensive income was EUR 399 million in the first six months of 2014, compared with EUR 16 thousand in the first half of 2013.
Non-current assets
Non-current assets increased to EUR 19.6 million as of June 30, 2014 (December 31, 2013: EUR 18.7 million) because depreciation and amortization exceeded capital expenditures for property, plant and equipment and intangible assets.
Current assets
Current assets increased to EUR 16.6 million as of June 30, 2014 (December 31, 2013: EUR 13.8 million). In particular, trade receivables increased from EUR 5.2 million to EUR 8.6 million in the reporting period. Inventories increased slightly from EUR 7.2 million to EUR 7.6 million and other current receivables and financial assets rose from EUR 0.2 million to EUR 0.3 million. At the same time, cash and cash equivalents declined to EUR 47 thousand (December 31, 2013: EUR 1.3 million).
Liabilities
Current liabilities increased to EUR 9.2 million in the first six months of 2014 (December 31, 2013: EUR 4.9 million). Current liabilities to banks rose from EUR 2.2 million to EUR 5.8 million and trade payables increased from EUR 1.6 million to EUR 2.2 million in the reporting period.
Non-current liabilities dropped from EUR 9.1 million to EUR 8.0 million in the reporting period as non-current liabilities to banks were reduced from EUR 7.6 million to around EUR 6.5 million. Deferred taxes were unchanged from December 31, 2013 at EUR 1.5 million .
Equity
Equity totalled EUR 19.0 million on June 30, 2014 (December 31, 2013: EUR 18.6 million). The increase in the reporting period was due to additions to retained earnings, which increased to EUR 0.9 million due to the positive result for the period (December 31, 2013: EUR 0.5 million). The capital stock of EUR 4.3 million, treasury stock of EUR 64 thousand, capital reserves of EUR 15.4 million and currency translation reserve of minus EUR 1.6 million were unchanged from December 31, 2013. Total equity and liabilities increased to EUR 36.1 million as of June 30, 2014 (December 31, 2013: EUR 32.6 million) and the equity ratio therefore dropped from 57% to 53%.
Liquidity and cash flow statement
The net cash outflow for operating activities was EUR 0.7 million in the first six months of 2014 (H1 2013: inflow of EUR 0.1 million). This was mainly attributable to the increase in trade receivables, which should result in a cash inflow in the remainder of the year. Excluding interest payments, the cash outflow for operating activities was EUR 0.5 million (H1 2013: inflow of EUR 0.3 million).
The net cash outflow for investing activities was EUR 3.0 million in the reporting period (H1 2013: outflow of EUR 1.6 million). Investment in intangible assets was unchanged from the prior year at EUR 0.7 million (H1 2013: EUR 0.7 million), while investment in property, plant and equipment increased to EUR 2.3 million (H1 2013: EUR 0.9 million). Capital expenditure for property, plant and equipment mainly related to expansion of production facilities for the Automotive Technology segment. Overall, the company plans to invest around EUR 6.0 million in 2014 to raise capacity, mainly in the Automotive Technology segment.
The net cash outflow for financing activities was EUR 0.7 million in the reporting period (H1 2013: outflow of EUR 0.4 million). The cash outflows in the reporting period included EUR 0.6 million for loan repayments (H1 2013: EUR 0.4 million) and EUR 43 thousand for leasing expense (H1 2013: EUR 41 thousand).
Cash and cash equivalents (less overdrafts) were minus EUR 4.0 million as of June 30, 2014 (June 30, 2013: minus EUR 1.0 million). InTiCa Systems has assured credit facilities which can be drawn at any time totalling EUR 5.1 million.
Employees
The headcount increased significantly to 465 on June 30, 2014, including 49 agency staff (June 30, 2013: 430 employees, including 62 agency staff). Including agency staff, the Group had an average of 462 employees (H1 2013: 433 employees, including agency staff).
Risks and opportunities
The management report in the annual report for 2013 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 AG in the reporting period.
Events after the end of the reporting period
No material events have occurred since the reporting date on June 30, 2014.
Outlook
The business trend in the first six months was in line with the Board of Directors' expectations so it is retaining its outlook for fiscal 2014.
The Automotive Technology segment will remain InTiCa's main driving force in 2014. InTiCa Systems has successfully achieved its goal of being perceived as a development partner. In addition, in recent months a number of new orders have been obtained for serial production of new products such as stators for hybrid cars and actuators for fuel injection systems. In the Industrial Electronics and Communication Technology segments there are also opportunities to enter additional markets thanks to new products. Together with increased vertical integration and systems solution competence, offering customer-specific solutions is a key competitive advantage for InTiCa Systems. The Board of Directors therefore believes that in terms of costs and products InTiCa Systems is well positioned for 2014. Orders on hand amounted to around EUR 37 million on June 30, 2014, which was slightly above the prior-year level of around EUR 36 million. Around 70% of these orders are for the Automotive Technology segment.
Assuming at least moderate growth in the economy as a whole, at present the Board of Directors therefore expects to raise sales and earnings further in 2014. Overall, the Board of Directors expects Group sales in 2014 to be around EUR 43 million, with an EBIT margin of around 3.5%.
Further information on the segments can be found in the annual report for 2013 in section 6 "Outlook".
