Financial Calendar 24
The second quarter of 2012 saw a continuation of the negative market trend which had started to impact the Communication Technology and Industrial Electronics segments (especially photovoltaics) in the first quarter of this year. General market conditions remained poor, overshadowed by the debt crisis in the euro zone, high uncertainty on the financial markets and the increasing deterioration of economic prospects. As a result, in the first half of this year we were unable to repeat the good sales and earnings figures reported in the first half of last year. Although the Automotive Technology segment continued to develop well, with sales growth of over 20%, Group sales were down roughly 20% overall due to the drop in sales in the Communication Technology and Industrial Electronics segments. The EBIT margin declined from 3.7% to 1.7%. Even so, we achieved a positive half-year result of EUR 0.1 million.
The Industrial Electronics segment is still heavily impacted by the difficulties in the European solar industry. Action to reduce the high level of overcapacity and a sharp reduction in state subsidies for our customers led to a clear drop in demand for our solutions. However, extending our product range to include components for welding and rail technology and for industrial equipment and household appliances should reduce this segment's dependence on specific sectors.
Automotive Technology is now the biggest sales and earnings generator at InTiCa Systems. One key success factor is the fact that we can supply entire assemblies, not just individual products. This requires far higher technical know-how and considerably more vertical integration. In this way we have become a supplier to the leading systems suppliers. Our products are now used in vehicles produced by 19 different car-makers. Economically, the German automotive sector at any rate is still proving relatively robust, so we do not anticipate a dramatic downturn here this year. Nevertheless, the sector is not immune to ongoing currency crises.
In view of the increasingly weak economic outlook, we are not able to uphold our previous guidance of a slight drop in sales but a stable earnings trend this year. To err on the safe side, at present we have to assume that in fiscal 2012 we will see a noticeable decline in sales and earnings. Despite this, we still expect a significant improvement in the Group's liquidity in the single-digit millions.
Focusing on our main strategic goals, achieving technological and quality leadership, constantly optimizing our own value creation, steadily expanding our customer base and product portfolio and entering new international markets are the right strategies. In the present demanding competitive conditions, we need to raise our market share still further so that we can continue to grow profitably in the medium to long term. InTiCa Systems will be continuing its successful shift from a supplier of components and subsystems to a solution provider.
Passau, August 2012
Yours,
Chairman of the Member of the
Walter Brückl Günther Kneidinger Board of Directors Board of Directors
for the period from January 1 to June 30, 2012
The German economy is suffering more from the debt crisis in the euro zone than had originally been expected. According to forecasts by the German Institute for Economic Research (DIW), the economy will only grow by 1 percent in 2012. DIW expects the main growth driver to be domestic demand. Demand from other euro-zone countries for German products is expected to remain relatively weak. The euro zone is in a pronounced recession as a result of the debt crises in many countries and the ongoing uncertainty on the financial markets. The DIW also expects demand from other industrialized countries to remain fairly subdued and is only predicting an economic upturn in emerging markets such as China and Brazil, in response to more expansionary monetary and fiscal policies. Other economic indicators such as the Indicator of Economic Sentiment compiled by the Centre for European Economic Research (ZEW) and the ifo business climate index, which attracts a good deal of attention, are also pointing to a downward trend, which indicates pressure on Germany's economic development.
Shares in InTiCa Systems started 2012 at EUR 3.60. The share price came under pressure in the first three months of the year as a result of the exit of a major shareholder with a shareholding of more than 5%. It hit a low of EUR 2.65 in mid-March. It subsequently rallied and has been trading in a range of between EUR 2.80 and EUR 3.20 in exceptionally volatile market conditions. In Xetra trading, the share price closed at EUR 2.73 on August 06.
In the first six months of this year 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, which was held in Passau, Germany, on July 6, 2012, shareholders were able to find out about the company's performance in 2011 and its present situation. 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).
InTiCa Systems AG has received an order from a well-known systems supplier to develop and manufacture key components for hybrid vehicles. The specific requirements made on these components, which will be used for battery management, require a concept based on highly sophisticated technology. To safeguard the planned start of production in early 2013, production of the necessary tools started in parallel with completion of the development phase. The contract is expected to run for seven years and sales will be in the lower double-digit millions range. Use of the components in further model ranges and for other brands is currently under discussion.
Mr. Detlef Hölzel stepped down from the Supervisory Board of InTiCa Systems AG at his own request for personal reasons as of June 30, 2012. Mr. Hölzel had been a member of the Supervisory Board since August 5, 2010. The Board of Directors and Supervisory Board would like to thank him for his very good and constructive collaboration and strong commitment and wish him all the best for the future. He has been succeeded in this function by Mr. Udo Zimmer, previously substitute member of the Supervisory Board.

Group sales slipped by about 20% year-on-year to EUR 18.0 million in H1 2012. Despite a clear improvement in the material expense ratio relative to total output (from 67% to 59%), EBITDA was lower than in the previous year at EUR 2.5 million as a result of a slightly slower reduction in overheads. EBIT was around EUR 0.3 million and thus also lower than a year earlier (H1 2011: EUR 0.8 million). The EBIT margin dropped from 3.7% to 1.7%. While the Automotive Technology segment reported further sales growth of 25%, Industrial Electronics and Communication Technology reported year-on-year declines of 34% and 55% respectively due to the difficult market situation in these two segments.
The equity ratio increased to 56% (December 31, 2011: 52%). Moreover, current liabilities to banks were reduced from EUR 2.3 million to EUR 1.2 million in the reporting period. The operating cash flow was clearly positive at EUR 1.5 million and the positive liquidity situation was further boosted by the scheduled repayment of a bonded loan totalling EUR 1.5 million.
In the first six months of 2012 Group sales dropped to EUR 18.0 million, down 20% from the year-back level of EUR 22.6 million. The Automotive Technology segment reported continued strong growth, with sales up 25% at EUR 9.0 million (H1 2011: EUR 7.2 million), whereas the Communication Technology and Industrial Electronics segments suffered a downturn. Sales revenues in the Communication Technology segment fell 55% to EUR 2.5 million (H1 2011: EUR 5.7 million). In the Industrial Electronics segment, sales were down 34% at EUR 6.4 million (H1 2011: EUR 9.7 million).
The ratio of material costs to total output improved from 67% in H1 2011 to 59% in H1 2012. However, lower sales accompanied by an only slightly lower headcount lifted the personnel expense ratio to 20% (H1 2011: 14%). Costs for temporary agency staff declined from EUR 0.45 million to EUR 0.3 million due to the reduction in the employment of such staff at the production site. These costs are recognized in "Other expenses". Depreciation and amortization of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets amounted to EUR 2.2 million in H1 2012 (H1 2011: EUR 2.3 million). Other expenses were reduced from EUR 2.3 million in H1 2011 to EUR 2.0 million in H1 2012.
Spending on research and developed totalled EUR 1.1 million in the reporting period, which was slightly below the previous year's level of EUR 1.3 million. Development work focused principally on the Automotive Technology and Industrial Electronics segments.
Analogously to the drop in business volume, EBITDA slipped from EUR 3.2 million to EUR 2.5 million in the first six months of 2012.
Group EBIT dropped from EUR 0.8 million in H1 2011 to EUR 0.3 million in H1 2012. The EBIT margin declined from 3.7% in H1 2011 to 1.7%. Earnings are still positive thanks to the Automotive Technology segment, which reported EBIT of EUR 0.6 million in H1 2012 (H1 2011: EUR 0.5 million). The Communication Technology segment posted negative EBIT of minus EUR 0.3 million (H1 2011: minus EUR 0.1 million). EBIT was also negative in the Industrial Electronics segment at minus EUR 0.03 million (H1 2011: positive at EUR 0.4 million).
The financial result was minus EUR 0.25 million at the end of the first six months (H1 2011: minus EUR 0.28 million). Taking into account tax income of EUR 32 thousand (H1 2011: tax expense of EUR 171 thousand), Group net income was EUR 0.1 million in the first half of 2012 (H1 2011: EUR 0.4 million). Earnings per share were EUR 0.02 (H1 2011: EUR 0.09).
As a result of currency translation gains of EUR 49 thousand (H1 2011: EUR 149 thousand) from the translation of foreign business operations, comprehensive income was EUR 0.1 million in the first half of 2012 (H1 2011: EUR 0.5 million).
Depreciation and amortization were offset by lower investment in property, plant and equipment and intangible assets in the first half of 2012. Non-current assets therefore declined to EUR 21.6 million as of June 30, 2012 (December 31, 2011: EUR 22.3 million).
Current assets decreased from EUR 15.1 million to EUR 13.4 million in the reporting period. Inventories were reduced from EUR 7.5 million to EUR 6.2 million and trade receivables increased from EUR 4.7 million to EUR 5.8 million. Cash and cash equivalents increased slightly to EUR 1.2 million in the reporting period (December 31, 2011: EUR 1.1 million).
Current liabilities were reduced from EUR 6.5 million as of December 31, 2011 to EUR 4.4 million at end-June 2012. Current liabilities to banks declined from EUR 2.3 million to EUR 1.2 million and trade payables were scaled back from EUR 2.8 million to EUR 2.1 million. As a result of scheduled repayment instalments on long-term loans, non-current liabilities to banks dropped from EUR 9.4 million to EUR 9.0 million in the reporting period. Overall, non-current liabilities therefore declined from EUR 11.4 million to EUR 11.0 million.
Equity increased slightly in the first half of 2012, from EUR 19.5 million as of December 31, 2011 to EUR 19.6 million as of June 30, 2012. This was due to the increase in the profit reserve from EUR 0.4 million to EUR 0.5 million as a result of the positive interim result. Total equity and liabilities declined from EUR 37.4 million to EUR 35.0 million in the reporting period due to the decline in liabilities, so the equity ratio improved from 52% to 56%.
The net cash flow from operating activities was EUR 1.5 million in the first six months of 2012 (H1 2011: cash outflow of EUR 0.9 million). The significant year-on-year improvement was attributable to lower inventories and the slower increase in trade receivables in the reporting period. Excluding interest payments, the cash inflow from operating activities was EUR 1.7 million (H1 2011: outflow of EUR 0.6 million).
Thanks to the scheduled repayment of a bonded loan totalling EUR 1.5 million, the net cash flow from investing activities was EUR 0.1 million, a considerable improvement from the outflow of EUR 1.2 million in the comparable period of the previous year. Capital expenditures on property, plant and equipment amounted to some EUR 0.7 million in H1 2012 (H1 2011: EUR 0.4 million), while investment in intangible assets resulted in an outflow of around EUR 0.7 million (H1 2011: EUR 0.8 million).
The net cash outflow for financing activities was EUR 0.4 million in the first six months (H1 2011: inflow of EUR 0.4 million). In the reporting period, cash outflows related solely to scheduled loan repayment instalments totalling EUR 0.36 million and leasing expenses of EUR 0.04 million.
Cash and cash equivalents (less overdraft facilities used) increased considerably year-on-year to EUR 0.7 million (H1 2011: minus EUR 2.9 million). Moreover, InTiCa Systems has assured credit facilities which can be drawn at any time totalling EUR 4.0 million.
The number of employees declined slightly in the first six months of 2012, from 420 as of December 31, 2011 to 417 as of June 30, 2012 (both figures include temporary agency staff). On average, the Group had 414 employees in the reporting period (H1 2011: 446).
The management report in the annual report for 2011 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 Annual General Meeting on July 6, 2012 adopted a resolution creating authorized capital and an amendment to sec. 3 of the articles of association (authorized capital). The authorized capital of May 24, 2007 (authorized capital 2007/I) has expired. 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 2012/1).
On August 3, 2012 InTiCa Systems AG issued an ad-hoc release announcing that its previous forecast of a slight drop in sales but a stable earnings trend could no longer be achieved as a result of the continued deterioration in the global economic situation in recent weeks and persistently tough competition.
As stated in the ad-hoc release of August 3, 2012, in view of the continuing difficult situation in the European solar industry, delays in product launches and ramp-ups in the automotive industry and the increasing overall uncertainty caused by the expected deterioration of the economic situation, especially in the euro zone, the Board of Directors now anticipates a noticeable decline in sales and earnings performance. Despite this, it still expects a significant improvement in the Group's liquidity situation in the low single-digit millions.
Orders on hand were around EUR 30 million on June 30, 2012.
The Board of Directors is of the opinion that InTiCa Systems remains well-positioned in terms of both costs and products despite the general economic uncertainty in 2012. The present deterioration in the business situation in the solar sector will be offset to some extent by orders on hand in the Automotive Technology segment. The additional products for new applications that have been brought to market maturity in all three segments in recent months, combined with the increase in vertical integration and systems competence, offer sufficient potential for volume sales.
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 2011.
The unaudited consolidated interim financial statements for InTiCa Systems AG and its subsidiary as of June 30, 2012 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 press release 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 developments and results are in fact dependent on a large number of factors; they contain different risks and imponderables and are based on assumptions that may not be accurate. We neither intend not 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 June 30, 2012, 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 2011, 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 six month period ending on June 30, 2012. Comparative data refer to the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2011 or the consolidated interim financial statements as of June 30, 2011. 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 2011.
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.
The scope of consolidation of InTiCa Systems AG has contracted compared with fiscal 2011. 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. InTiCa Systems Ges.mbH of Neufelden, Austria, which was included in the consolidated financial statements for 2011, has been deleted from the commercial register and is therefore no longer included in the consolidated interim financial statements. The interim financial statements of the consolidated companies are prepared as of the reporting date for the consolidated interim financial statements.
