Dear shareholders, employees and business associates,

At the end of the first nine months of 2016 we are still well on track to achieve our goals for 2016, with year-end business supported by a good order situation. The EBIT margin is in the forecast range at around 2.7% and we have grown sales slightly year-on-year to EUR 33.7 million. In the Industrial Electronics segment, sales stabilized at the prioryear level of EUR 6.2 million, while in the Automotive Technology segment sales increased to EUR 27.5 million. The cash flow trend is particularly encouraging. The operating cash flow rose from EUR 1.5 million in the previous year to EUR 3.8 million and the total cash flow was EUR 2.1 million. This positive development was attributable to both optimization of the financing structure of InTiCa Systems AG as debt has been rescheduled from current to non-current bank loans, and to lower capital expenditure requirements than in the previous year.

Less visible but no less important is the success in implementing our strategic plans. We have taken important steps for the future by optimizing production workflows at the facility in the Czech Republic, opening our new technology and training centre in Passau, Germany, and setting up a new production site in Mexico.

Work on the new facility in Mexico is proceeding on schedule. Over the past months, the first production machines have been installed and started up. An initial customer audit has also been successfully completed. A complete production line should be in place by the end of the year, with validation by the customer scheduled for the first quarter of 2017. An experienced team of senior executives and production and quality control managers has been hired, so we are well-positioned for the next steps.

Despite all our success to date, we still have plenty of work ahead of us before we can successfully complete the longterm transformation process initiated in 2015. The ideas and daily commitment of our employees are the key to this success and we would like to express our thanks to them. We also thank our shareholders and business associates for their trust in us and their fruitful collaboration.

Passau, November 2016

InTiCa Systems' share price performance1)

Shares in InTiCa Systems started the year at EUR 4.25 and rose to EUR 5.10 — the highest level in the reporting period — in early February. The share price then dropped back briefly to EUR 4.50 but rallied to EUR 5.10 again by the end of February. In the following months, shares in InTica Systems traded in a range of EUR 4.50 to EUR 5.00. Shares in the company survived the capital market turbulence following the UK's decision to leave the EU without a major downturn and ended the first half of the year at EUR 4.40. They subsequently traded sideways, before dipping briefly to a low for the year of EUR 4.20 in mid-August. However, the share price rallied quickly and was back at EUR 4.80 by the beginning of September. The share ended the first nine months with another dip and was trading at EUR 4.58 on September 30, 2016. Since then it has traded in a range of EUR 4.40 to EUR 4.80. The closing price on November 15, 2016 was EUR 4.70. That was an increase of 10.6% since the start of the year, bringing InTiCa Systems' market capitalization to EUR 20.1 million.

In the first nine months of 2016 we provided timely information for our shareholders and the general public on current business trends, specific events and the company's prospects. As in the past, this year's press conference to mark the publication of the annual report for 2016 attracted considerable interest from analysts and investors. The presentation and speech given at the press conference can be accessed on the company's homepage at "Investor Relations/Capital Market Conferences". The presentation and address given at this year's Annual General Meeting in Passau on July 15, 2016 are also available on the homepage. At the meeting, shareholders were given information on fiscal 2015 and the present situation at InTiCa Systems AG.

The Board of Directors also plans to give a presentation for investors, analysts and financial journalists at this year's Munich Capital Markets Conference (MKK). MKK is the biggest capital market conference in southern Germany and will be held on December 8, 2016.

Interim Management Report of the Group

for the period from January 1 to September 30, 2016

Economic report

General economic conditions

In their joint diagnosis in autumn 2016, the leading German economic research institutes consider that the global economy is still in a moderate upswing and forecast that GDP will grow by 1.9 percent this year. Despite the exceptionally favourable financing conditions, the experts consider that investment by the corporate sector is less of a driving force than the construction and service industries, along with rising employment in these sectors. Consumer spending is increasing strongly in the context of stable pay trends and low inflation. Moreover, state spending on consumption is rising significantly as a result of the influx of refugees.

The automotive industry continued to grow in the third quarter of 2016. However, according to the German Automotive Industry Association (VDA) there were marked differences in the development of the three largest automotive markets: while the US market only posted weak growth of 0.4%, the western European market was far more dynamic and grew by 7.1%. The Indian and Chinese markets grew even more strongly, posting rises of 8.9% and 17.7% respectively. The German car market increased by 6%. Overall, the VDA forecasts that new car sales in Germany will reach 3.3 million over the year, the highest level for seven years.

The German Electrical and Electronic Manufacturers' Association (ZVEI) reports a continuation of the positive economic trend in the electrical and electronics sector. Sector sales were EUR 115.4 billion between January and August 2016, a rise of 1.3 percent year-on-year. Domestic sales rose 2.1 percent to EUR 56.2 billion while foreign sales advanced 0.7 percent to EUR 59.2 billion. Revenue generated with customers in the euro zone rose 0.7 percent to EUR 21.7 billion. Revenue generated in other countries also rose 0.7 percent, to EUR 37.5 billion.

Significant events in the reporting period

There were no events of material significance for the company in the reporting period.

Earnings, asset and financial position

InTiCa Systems AG grew sales moderately year-on-year to EUR 33.7 million in the first nine months of 2016. The Automotive Technology and Industrial Electronics segments both posted slightly higher sales. Despite the expenses to drive forward internationalization and optimize production on the basis of lean principles, the EBITDA margin remained at the prior-year level of 12.5%. While the material cost ratio fell significantly, the personnel expense ratio rose as new staff were hired. In absolute terms, EBITDA was EUR 4.2 million. EBIT actually improved slightly year-on-year to EUR 0.9 million and the EBIT margin increased from 2.4% to 2.7%. Overall, net income for the period was clearly positive at EUR 0.5 million (9M 2015: EUR 0.4 million).

The operating cash flow improved considerably to EUR 3.8 million in the first nine months of 2016 (9M 2015: EUR 1.5 million). The total cash flow in the reporting period was clearly positive at EUR 2.1 million as capital expenditure was lower than in the prior-year period and the company took out a long-term loan (9M 2015: cash outflow of EUR 8.1 million). The equity ratio remained constant at 41% in the reporting period (December 31, 2015: 41%).

Earnings position

In the first nine months of 2016 InTiCa Systems AG increased sales slightly to EUR 33.7 million, up from EUR 33.5 million in the prior-year period. Sales were EUR 27.5 million in the Automotive Technology segment (9M 2015: EUR 27.3 million) and EUR 6.2 million in the Industrial Electronics segment (9M 2015: EUR 6.2 million).

While the ratio of material costs to total output dropped significantly year-on-year to 54.4% (9M 2015: 58.0%), the personnel expense ratio increased from 19.8% to 22.7% as a result of an increase in the number of employees. Other expenses were unchanged from the prior-year period at EUR 4.3 million. The other operating expenses include expenses of EUR 0.4 million (9M 2015: EUR 0.3 million) for agency staff at the Prachatice site.

Depreciation and amortization of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets was constant at EUR 3.3 million, as in the previous year. Spending on research and development was around EUR 2.1 million, which was above the year-back level (9M 2015: EUR 1.7 million). Development work focused principally on the Automotive Technology segment.

The company lifted EBITDA slightly, by 1.4% to EUR 4.2 million in the first nine months of 2016 (9M 2015: EUR 4.1 million). The EBITDA margin therefore improved slightly from 12.4% to 12.5%. Group EBIT increased 14.2% from EUR 0.8 million to EUR 0.9 million, which equates to a year-on-year increase in the EBIT margin from 2.4% to 2.7%. At segment level, the Automotive Technology segment reported EBIT of EUR 0.95 million in the first nine months of 2016 (9M 2015: EUR 1.6 million) and EBIT in the Industrial Electronics segment was minus EUR 0.03 million (9M 2015: minus EUR 0.8 million).

The financial result was minus EUR 0.3 million, as in the prior-year period, and tax expense was EUR 56 thousand (9M 2015: EUR 76 thousand). Net income was EUR 0.5 million in the first nine months of 2016 (9M 2015: EUR 0.4 million). Earnings per share were EUR 0.13 (9M 2015: EUR 0.09).

As a result of currency translation gains of EUR 4 thousand (9M 2015: EUR 163 thousand) from the translation of foreign business operations, comprehensive income was EUR 0.54 million in the first nine months of 2016 (9M 2015: EUR 0.57 million).

Non-current assets

Non-current assets amounted to EUR 24.7 million as of September 30, 2016 (December 31, 2015: EUR 24.9 million). Since depreciation was offset by capital expenditures in the reporting period, property, plant and equipment remained constant at EUR 19.2 million (December 31, 2015: EUR 19.2 million). By contrast, intangible assets and deferred taxes declined slightly to EUR 4.3 million and EUR 1.2 million respectively (December 31, 2015: EUR 4.4 million and EUR 1.3 million respectively).

Current assets

Current assets increased from EUR 15.4 million on December 31, 2015 to EUR 16.5 million on September 30, 2016. In particular, trade receivables increased from EUR 6.8 million to EUR 7.9 million and cash and cash equivalents rose from EUR 0.2 million to EUR 0.5 million, while inventories declined from EUR 7.8 million to EUR 7.7 million.

Liabilities

Current liabilities decreased to EUR 12.1 million in the first nine months of 2016 (December 31, 2015: EUR 14.5 million). This was mainly attributable to the reduction in current liabilities to banks from EUR 10.2 million to EUR 7.3 million. Trade payables increased in the reporting period, from EUR 2.6 million to EUR 2.7 million, as did other current provisions, which rose from EUR 1.2 million to EUR 1.5 million.

Non-current debt increased from EUR 9.4 million to EUR 12.1 million in the reporting period. This increase was due to the rise in non-current liabilities to banks from EUR 7.9 million to EUR 10.6 million. Deferred taxes were unchanged from December 31, 2015 at EUR 1.4 million.

Equity

As of September 30, 2016 equity totalled EUR 17.0 million (December 31, 2015: EUR 16.4 million). The increase was due to the net profit for the period, which resulted in a decline in the negative items in the profit reserve. The capital stock of EUR 4.3 million, treasury stock of EUR 64 thousand, the general capital reserve of EUR 15.4 million and the currency translation reserve of minus EUR 1.3 million were constant in the reporting period. Total equity and liabilities increased to EUR 41.2 million as of September 30, 2016 (December 31, 2015: EUR 40.3 million) and the equity ratio therefore improved slightly from 40.8% to 41.3%.

Liquidity and cash flow statement

The net cash flow from operating activities improved to EUR 3.8 million in the first nine months of 2016, up from EUR 1.5 million in the prior-year period. Alongside the establishment of current provisions, the operating cash flow was positively influenced by the year-on-year reduction in inventories and a lower rise in trade receivables. Excluding interest payments, the cash flow for operating activities was EUR 4.1 million (9M 2015: EUR 1.8 million).

The net cash outflow for investing activities was EUR 3.2 million in the reporting period (9M 2015: outflow of EUR 7.2 million). Investment in intangible assets increased slightly from EUR 0.9 million to EUR 1.0 million, while capital expenditure on property, plant and equipment was considerably lower than in the prior-year period at EUR 2.2 million (9M 2015: EUR 6.3 million). In 2016, around EUR 4.5 million will be invested in further expansion of production capacity, acquiring modern production plants for the site in the Czech Republic, building a new production site in Mexico and in developing and equipping the technology and training centre.

The net cash flow from financing activities was EUR 1.5 million in the first nine months of 2016 (9M 2015: outflow of EUR 2.4 million). In the reporting period, cash outflows for the repayment of loans amounted to EUR 2.5 million (9M 2015: EUR 2.3 million), while there was a cash inflow from borrowing of EUR 4.0 million.

Overall, the total cash flow in the period was clearly positive at EUR 2.1 million in the reporting period (9M 2015: outflow of EUR 8.1 million). Cash and cash equivalents (less overdrafts) were minus EUR 5.2 million as of September 30, 2016 (September 30, 2015: minus EUR 9.4 million). As of the reporting date, InTiCa Systems AG had assured credit facilities which could be drawn at any time totalling EUR 10.1 million.

Employees

The number of employees increased significantly year-onyear to 581 as of September 30, 2016. 34 of these employees were agency staff (September 30, 2015: headcount 516, including 34 agency staff). On average, the Group had 577 employees in the reporting period (9M 2015: 521 employees, including agency staff in both cases).

Risks and opportunities

The management report in the annual report for 2015 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 September 30, 2016.

Outlook

The development of sales and earnings in the first nine months of 2016 was in line with the Board of Directors' expectations.

The Automotive Technology segment remains the most important business driver in 2016. Investment to raise production capacity and optimize production workflows in this segment will continue to reduce material costs and capacity bottlenecks. The Board of Directors expects sales to stabilize substantially in the Industrial Electronics segment in the second half of the year, despite the persistently challenging conditions in the sector. Overarching product innovations are to provide access to further markets. There are opportunities for this in both segments. InTiCa Systems' main competitive advantage is its ability to offer customerspecific solutions in combination with greater vertical integration and systems solution competence. In-house manufacturing is expected to be over 80% again in 2016. The Board of Directors therefore feels that in terms of products InTiCa Systems AG is well-positioned for 2016.

Orders on hand totalled around EUR 40 million on September 30, 2016, above the prior-year level of EUR 38 million. Around EUR 34 million of orders are attributable to the Automotive Technology segment (September 30, 2015: EUR 34 million).

At present, the Board of Directors still assumes that, given a stable economic environment, Group sales will rise by around 10% to nearly EUR 47 million in 2016 and the EBIT margin will improve to around 2%.

Further information on the segments can be found in the annual report for 2015 in section 6 "Outlook".

Accounting based on the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS)

The consolidated interim financial statements of InTiCa Systems AG as of September 30, 2016, 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 2015, which were drawn up in accordance with the 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 nine-month period ending on September 30, 2016. Comparative data refer to the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2015 or the consolidated interim financial statements as of September 30, 2015. 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 2015. This is available at "Investor Relations/Publications" on the company's website at http://www.intica-systems.com.

The parent company has a stake of 100% in these two foreign subsidiaries. The interim financial statements of the consolidated companies are prepared as of the reporting date for the consolidated interim financial statements.

Segment information

With the agreement of the Supervisory Board, the Board of Directors resolved to combine the Industrial Electronics and Communication Technology segments at the start of 2015.

The notes to the consolidated financial statements in the annual report for 2015 contain a detailed overview of the assets allocated to each segment. Taking into account the combination of the Industrial Electronics and Communication Technology segments explained above, there has not been any material change in the assets allocated to the segments since December 31, 2015.
