Business performance in the first three months of 2016 was in line with the Board of Directors' expectations, with sales rising 3.2% to EUR 11.3 million. We would particularly like to draw attention to the fact that the Industrial Electronics segment broke the negative trend of the preceding quarters and grew sales by more than 14% from the recent low level. In the Automotive Technology segment sales increased slightly compared with the very good prior-year period. EBIT was down slightly year-on-year at EUR 0.2 million, giving an EBIT margin of 1.6%.
The overall development is also reflected in the operating cash flow, which was considerably higher than in the prioryear period at EUR 0.4 million in the first three months of 2016. The total cash flow was also positive at EUR 0.4 million because investment requirements dropped considerably following the massive efforts made in the previous quarters. Overall, we are planning investment of around EUR 4.5 million in 2016. The funds will be used mainly for further expansion of our production capacity, to acquire modern production plants for our site in the Czech Republic, to build a new production site in Mexico and for the development and equipment of the technology and training centre.
This also reflects InTiCa Systems' priority tasks in 2016: stepping up innovation in new products, internationalization, ongoing optimization of value flows in production and logistics, and cost optimization for the Group as a whole. InTiCa Systems AG intends to, indeed has to, take account of its repositioning as a renowned automotive supplier in recent years. This has already required corresponding effort and costs by the company, and will continue to do so in the future. Most of the necessary transformation processes should be completed by 2017. By systematically aligning the Prachatice production site to lean principles and reorganizing production workflows we have taken the first steps towards increasing production efficiency and production margins. The company has set a wide range of targets, but these are necessary. We will therefore be continuing this process to ensure that in the future InTiCa can benefit from higher production efficiency, improved value creation and an optimized supply performance in the global marketplace.
We aim to meet our customers' requirements and our own standards not simply from a quality and economic viewpoint but also technologically. Since the continuous development and marketing of innovative new products are prerequisites
for generating healthy, long-term sales growth and successfully continuing our path as a solution provider, InTiCa invested in a technology and training centre of its own in 2015. Here, we are making good progress with our competent team of developers and production technologists and are constantly testing new products, technologies and tools.
One of our areas of focus is internationalization. By providing local services to support our customers and setting a "global footprint" we can increase our ability to raise sales and broaden our customer base. Based on customer orders, in 2014 InTiCa Systems began to pave the way for an international production facility in Mexico. We are currently at the final stage of negotiations for a production location in the direct vicinity of major customers. Production of the first small -scale series is scheduled to start at the end of this year.
Since the optimization and ongoing development of all areas are proceeding on schedule and orders are stable, we are confirming our forecast and look forward to shaping the successful development of InTiCa Systems AG with our firstrate employees and in trusting collaboration with our customers, business associates and shareholders.

Shares in InTiCa Systems started the year at EUR 4.25. This was also the low for the first quarter. The losses made at the end of last year were recouped in January and the share price rose to a high for the reporting period of EUR 5.10 at the start of February. It then dropped briefly to EUR 4.50 but rallied to EUR 5.10 again by the end of February. Shares subsequently traded in range of EUR 4.75 to EUR 5.00 with moderate turnover up to the end of the first quarter. At the close of Xetra trading on March 31, 2016, the share price was EUR 4.85. The shares then continued to trade sideways and closed at EUR 4.55 on May 13, 2016. That was an increase of ca. 7% since the start of the year, bringing InTiCa Systems' market capitalization to EUR 19.5 million.
In the first three 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 2015 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/Publications [available in German only].
This year's Annual General Meeting will be held in Passau on July 15, 2016. Shareholders will be given information on fiscal 2015 and the present situation at InTiCa Systems AG. In addition, InTiCa Systems AG 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 7, 2016.

As of May 15, 2016
for the period from January 1 to March 31, 2016
In their joint diagnosis for spring 2016, Germany's leading economic institutes predict a moderate upturn in the German economy. Gross domestic product increased by 0.4% in the first quarter and is expected to rise by 1.6% overall in 2016. The experts estimate that the upswing will be driven mainly by consumer spending, which should benefit from the sustained increase in employment, perceptible rises in wages and collectively agreed rates of pay, and higher purchasing power as a result of lower energy prices. They also expect monetary policy to remain expansionary, partly to deal with increased expenditures in connection with the influx of refugees. While investment in construction should also rise perceptibly, the leading German economic institutes anticipate relatively subdued investment by the corporate sector. In view of the only gradual global economic recovery and strong domestic demand, no positive impetus is expected to come from foreign trade.
According to the German Automotive Industry Association (VDA), the conditions in the sector also developed positively worldwide in the reporting period. Volume sales increased in the world's three most important markets in the first quarter of 2016. The highest growth was in China, where volumes rose by a good 9 percent, followed by Western Europe (+8 percent) and the USA (+3 percent). Driven by demand from private customers, in March the Western European car market posted the highest volume sales in a single month for exactly nine years, with just over 1.6 million new registrations, while the trend on the US car market remained good thanks to the continuation of the favourable labour market situation, low interest rates and low fuel prices.
In the electrical and electronics sector, the start of 2016 was mixed. According to the German Electrical and Electronic Manufacturers' Association (ZVEI), in the first two months real output in the sector in Germany was 0.3 percent higher than in the previous year. Sector sales, which also include services, rose 2.5 percent to EUR 27.1 billion. Exports (including re-exports) increased by 3.1 percent, while orders were 2.7 percent higher. The association has confirmed the forecast for 2016 issued at the beginning of the year: on a price-adjusted basis it is forecasting moderate growth of 1 percent in German output, with sales up 2 percent.
There were no events of material significance for the company in the reporting period.
Business performance in the first three months of 2016 was in line with the Board of Directors' expectations, with sales rising 3.2% to EUR 11.3 million. We would particularly like to draw attention to the fact that the Industrial Electronics segment broke the negative trend of the preceding quarters and grew sales by more than 14%. In the Automotive Technology segment sales increased slightly compared with the very good prior-year period. EBITDA was EUR 1.3 million and thus slightly below the previous year's level (3M 2015: EUR 1.4 million). While the ratio of material costs to total output declined considerably, the personnel expense ratio increased as a result of the rise in headcount. This resulted in EBIT of EUR 0.2 million in the first quarter of 2016, compared with EUR 0.3 million in the first quarter of 2015. The EBIT margin was 1.6% (3M 2015: 3.1%). Group net income was EUR 73 thousand (3M 2015: EUR 162 thousand).
The operating cash flow was clearly positive at EUR 0.4 million in the first three months of 2016 (3M 2015: EUR 0.1 million). Overall, the slight reduction in capital expenditures compared with the prior-year period and borrowing resulted in a positive overall cash flow of EUR 0.4 million (3M 2015: cash outflow of EUR 4.3 million). The equity ratio declined slightly to 40% in the reporting period (December 31, 2015: 41%).
Group sales increased by around 3.2% year-on-year to EUR 11.3 million in the first three months of 2016 (3M 2015: EUR 11.0 million). The Automotive Technology segment grew sales by 0.9% compared with the very strong prior-year period to EUR 9.2 million (3M 2015: EUR 9.1 million), while sales in the Industrial Electronics segment rose 14.4% to EUR 2.1 million (3M 2015: EUR 1.8 million).
The cost of materials relative to total output declined considerably compared with the previous year to 55.5% (3M 2015: 58.4%). At the same time, the personnel expense ratio increased from 19.6% to 21.3% due to the increase in headcount. Other expenses decreased from EUR 1.5 million in the prior-year period to EUR 1.3 million. The other operating expenses include expenses of EUR 0.1 million (3M 2015: EUR 0.1 million) for agency staff at the Prachatice production site.
Depreciation and amortization of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets was EUR 1.1 million, as in the previous year. Spending on research and development amounted to EUR 0.6 million in the reporting period (3M 2015: EUR 0.55 million). Development work focused principally on the Automotive Technology segment.
EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) declined 8.3% year-on-year to EUR 1.3 million (3M 2015: EUR 1.4 million). The EBITDA margin therefore declined from 12.8% to 11.4%. At the same time, EBIT (earnings before interest and taxes) slipped from EUR 0.3 million to EUR 0.2 million, which equates to a year-on-year decline in the EBIT margin from 3.1% to 1.6%. At segment level, the Automotive Technology segment reported EBIT of EUR 0.3 million in the first three months of 2016 (3M 2015: EUR 0.6 million) and EBIT in the Industrial Electronics segment was minus EUR 0.1 million (3M 2015: minus EUR 0.3 million).
The financial result was minus EUR 0.1 million in the reporting period (3M 2015: minus EUR 0.1 million) and there was tax income of EUR 12 thousand (3M 2015: tax expense of EUR 80 thousand). Group net income was therefore EUR 73 thousand at the end of the first three months (3M 2015: EUR 162 thousand). Earnings per share were EUR 0.02 (3M 2015: EUR 0.04).
As a result of currency translation losses of EUR 14 thousand (3M 2015: EUR 60 thousand) from the translation of foreign business operations, comprehensive income was EUR 59 thousand in the first three months of 2016, compared with EUR 222 thousand in the prior-year period.
Since depreciation of property, plant and equipment exceeded capital expenditures in the first quarter of 2016, property, plant and equipment declined slightly to EUR 19.1 million as of March 31, 2016 (December 31, 2015: EUR 19.2 million). By contrast, intangible assets and deferred taxes were constant at EUR 4.4 million and EUR 1.3 million respectively. Overall, there was therefore a slight reduction in non-current assets to EUR 24.8 million as of March 31, 2016 (December 31, 2015: EUR 24.9 million).
Current assets increased to EUR 16.4 million as of March 31, 2016 (December 31, 2015: EUR 15.4 million). In particular, trade receivables increased from EUR 6.8 million to EUR 8.5 million in the reporting period, while inventories declined from EUR 7.8 million to EUR 7.3 million. By contrast, cash and cash equivalents rose to EUR 0.3 million (December 31, 2015: EUR 0.2 million).
In the first quarter of 2016, current liabilities declined to EUR 13.9 million (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 9.5 million. Trade payables only fell slightly from EUR 2.6 million to EUR 2.5 million as of March 31, 2016.
Non-current liabilities increased from EUR 9.4 million to EUR 10.8 million in the reporting period. While non-current liabilities to banks rose from EUR 7.9 million to EUR 9.4 million, deferred taxes were EUR 1.5 million, unchanged from December 31, 2015.
As of March 31, 2016, equity totalled EUR 16.5 million (December 31, 2015: EUR 16.4 million). The slight increase in the reporting period was due to the profit for the period, which resulted in a decline in the negative items in retained earnings. 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 1.4 million were constant in the reporting period. Total assets increased to EUR 41.2 million in the first quarter of 2016 (December 31, 2015: EUR 40.3 million). The equity ratio therefore declined from 41% to 40%.
There was a year-on-year improvement in the net cash flow for operating activities to EUR 0.4 million in the first three months of 2016 (3M 2015: EUR 0.1 million). Inventories were lower than in the prior-year period and this offset the impact of the reduction in trade payables. Excluding interest payments, the cash flow for operating activities was EUR 0.5 million (3M 2015: EUR 0.2 million).
The net cash outflow for investing activities was EUR 1.0 million in the reporting period (3M 2015: outflow of EUR 3.3 million). Investment in intangible assets amounted to EUR 0.3 million (3M 2015: EUR 0.3 million) while capital expenditure on property, plant and equipment was EUR 0.7 million (3M 2015: EUR 3.0 million). Overall, InTiCa Systems is planning investment of around EUR 4.5 million in 2016. The funds will be used for further expansion of production capacity, to acquire modern production plants for the site in the Czech Republic, to build a new production site in Mexico and for development and equipment of the technology and training centre.
The net cash flow from financing activities was EUR 1.0 million in the first quarter of 2016 (3M 2015: outflow of EUR 1.0 million). In the reporting period, cash outflows for the repayment of loans amounted to EUR 1.0 million (3M 2015: EUR 1.0 million), while there was a cash inflow of EUR 2.0 million from a new loan.
Cash and cash equivalents (less overdrafts) were minus EUR 7.0 million as of March 31, 2016 (March 31, 2015: minus EUR 5.5 million). As of the reporting date InTiCa Systems AG had assured credit facilities which could be drawn at any time totalling EUR 14.6 million.
The headcount increased considerably in the reporting period and was 582 as of March 31, 2016. 58 of these employees were agency staff (March 31, 2015: headcount 522, including 41 agency staff). On average, the Group had 556 employees in the reporting period (3M 2015: 516), including agency staff in both cases.
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.
No material events have occurred since the reporting date on March 31, 2016.
Business performance in the first three months was in line with the Board of Directors' expectations so it is retaining its outlook for fiscal 2016.
The Automotive Technology segment remains the most important business driver in 2016. Here, investment undertaken to raise production capacity and optimize production workflows should reduce material costs and eliminate capacity bottlenecks. The stabilization in the Industrial Electronics segment in the first quarter should also continue, although conditions in this sector remain challenging. In all areas of business, product innovations should provide access to new 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 costs and products InTiCa Systems AG is well-positioned for 2016.
At the end of the first quarter of 2016, orders on hand were steady year-on-year at EUR 36.3 million (March 31, 2015: EUR 36.8 million). 84% of orders were for the Automotive Technology segment.
At present, the Board of Directors still assumes that, given a stable economic environment, Group sales will rise by around 10% to EUR 47 million in 2016 and the EBIT margin will improve to over 2%.
Further information on the segments can be found in the annual report for 2015 in section 6 "Outlook".
The unaudited consolidated interim financial statements for InTiCa Systems AG and its subsidiary as of March 31, 2016, 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.

With the agreement of the Supervisory Board, the Board of Directors resolved to combine the Industrial Electronics and Communication Technology segments from the start of 2015. This decision was based on sustained market, customer and corporate trends. It also correlates with the principles of simplifying and focusing the company. The established products of the Communication Technology segment remain available from the Industrial Electronics segment.
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 .

Under sec. 8 paragraph 4 of the company's articles of incorporation, the Supervisory Board may make amendments to the articles of incorporation, providing these are merely editorial.
In addition, under sec. 3 paragraph 3 of the articles of incorporation, the Supervisory Board may alter the articles of incorporation in the event of a capital increase out of the authorized capital 2012/I to bring them into line with the extent of the capital increase and may make any other amendments associated with this provided that these are merely editorial.

In addition, the creditor of a EUR 2 million overdraft facility has an extraordinary right to terminate this facility. This right takes effect if one other person acquires at least 30% of the borrower's voting rights and the parties cannot reach agreement on new terms.
