We have managed to position our company promisingly in a market dominated by the revolution under way in the automotive industry, focusing on three key technologies – electric vehicles, autonomous driving and connectivity. While our keyless products, transponders, actuator coils and various industrial applications still provide very fertile ground for our present and future business objectives, our developments and products for electric and hybrid vehicles are the driving forces for the future. It is pleasing that, unlike many companies, we have not just started to make electric vehicles part of our strategy: we have already have "booked business", with several very tangible development orders and orders for serial production. We supply a variety of products to the relatively new market for electric and hybrid vehicles. Moreover, this business and its significance for the company are increasing. We are therefore well-positioned for future technological progress and change.
Looking at our current business situation, we are satisfied with our performance in the first quarter of 2017. We were able to raise sales by around 9% to EUR 12.3 million, with both segments making a contribution to our growth. In the Industrial Electronics segment, sales rose by some 5% to EUR 2.2 million, driven by higher call-off figures in the solar business. In the Automotive Technology segment, growth momentum picked up, so sales advanced by about 9% to EUR 10.1 million. At the same time, our earnings power improved considerably. EBIT doubled from the prior-year figure to around EUR 0.4 million and the EBIT margin improved to 2.9%. The positive development was strengthened by orders on hand, which are at a record level of EUR 47.9 million.
Selective investment in development, technology and manufacturing, with a focus on internationalization and electric vehicles, is essential for the growth of the Group. Further capital expenditures for property, plant and equipment of around EUR 4.5 million are therefore planned for 2017. The biggest items are expansion of the site in Mexico, the installation of new production lines, for example for filter technology for stationary energy storage solutions (home battery storage systems), and adaptation of production capacity in the Czech Republic for new products. In addition, we will be investing specifically in further modernization of production facilities to raise efficiency as part of the consistent implementation of our lean philosophy.
We are already starting to notice that these investments will eventually pay off. They form the backbone of our new, future-oriented products and have also increased productivity considerably in some areas. We are
systematically focusing on our goal of ensuring and gradually improving production efficiency, product quality and reliable delivery. That involves optimizing value flows in production and logistics, a major transformation of manufacturing processes, adapting organizational structures and workflows, and driving forward the mindset of our employees for the future.
InTiCa Systems has evolved into a well-known automotive supplier in recent years. There has been a substantial increase in sales revenues, the number of articles, and the number of units sold. Lean processes will therefore continue to play a key role in the coming years and will be applied to new sites. Our aim is not to imitate but to find and shape our own way and to set standards. The goal is a continuous improvement in efficiency and thus profitability in all corporate processes.
The establishment of the site in Mexico is proceeding according to plan. Further customer validations took place at the beginning of 2017 and start-up of serial production for key customers commenced. Production is initially focused on core products manufactured by the Automotive Technology segment, especially keyless entry/go systems and actuators. In future, we want to expand the Mexico site considerably by relocating existing products and gaining new customers in NAFTA. Internationalization is supported by our technology centre in Passau, which enables us to provide international expertise in all major production processes, e.g. injection moulding of plastics, coiling, soldering, welding, casting and testing, as well as assembly and over-moulding technology.
Since progress in all areas is on schedule and the order situation is very good, we are confirming our forecast and look forward to shaping the successful development of InTiCa Systems AG with our first-rate employees and in trustful collaboration with our customers, business associates and shareholders.

Having made a respectable gain of 11.7% in 2016, shares in InTiCa Systems AG started 2017 at EUR 4.75, and rose to a year-to-date high of EUR 4.90 at the beginning of the year. The shares then traded in a range of between EUR 4.75 and EUR 4.50 before dropping below EUR 4.50 in early March. The year-to-date low of EUR 4.31 was recorded on March 13, 2017. However, the share price recovered quickly from this setback and rose back above EUR 4.50 following publication of the provisional results for 2016. The shares closed the first quarter of 2017 in Xetra trading at EUR 4.52. The sideways movement then continued and the closing price on May 15, 2017 was EUR 4.63. That was a drop of 2.5% since the start of the year, bringing InTiCa Systems' market capitalization to EUR 19.8 million.
In the first three months of 2017, 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/Publications [available in German only].
This year's Annual General Meeting will be held in Passau on July 21, 2017. Shareholders will be given information on fiscal 2016 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 13, 2017.

As of May 15, 2017
for the period from January 1 to March 31, 2017
In their joint diagnosis for spring 2017, Germany's leading economic institutes predict that the upswing in the German economy will remain firm despite the global economic risks. The experts predict that the increase in overall capacity utilization with only be gradual, with economic momentum remaining relatively low compared with earlier upswing phases. The reason given for this is that the upswing has so far been driven far more strongly by consumer spending, which experience suggests is subject to far lower cyclical swings than capital expenditures and foreign trade. In particular, the experts anticipate that GDP will grow by around 1.5% in 2017.
The German Automotive Industry Association (VDA) estimates that the global car market continued its positive development in the first quarter of 2017. According to the association, the western European car market grew by more than 7%, with 3.9 million new registrations. Moreover, car sales rose 6% to 5.8 million vehicles in China. Only the US market for light vehicles (cars and light trucks) contracted slightly year-on-year, with 4.0 million light vehicles sold in the first three months (-1%).
The German electrical and electronics industry also made a good start to the new year. According to the German Electrical and Electronic Manufacturers' Association (ZVEI), price-adjusted sector output was up 4.4% year-on-year in the first two months. Overall, the association expects real output to grow by 1.5% in 2017, citing the present political risks as the reason for its still somewhat subdued forecast.
There were no events of material significance for the company in the reporting period.
The good business performance in the first quarter of 2017, with sales growth of 8.5%, was in line with the Board of Directors' expectations. Growth in the Automotive Technology segment has regained momentum and the Industrial Electronics segment also lifted sales year-on-year. EBITDA was EUR 1.4 million and thus above the previous year's level (3M 2016: EUR 1.3 million), and the EBITDA margin was 11.5% (3M 2016: 11.4%). While there was a further slight drop in the ratio of material costs to total output, the personnel expense ratio increased as a result of the rise in headcount. EBIT doubled year-on-year to EUR 0.4 million in the first quarter of 2017 (3M 2016: EUR 0.2 million). The EBIT margin improved to 2.9% (3M 2016: 1.6%). Group net income was EUR 158 thousand (3M 2016: EUR 73 thousand).
The operating cash flow was minus EUR 1.1 million in the first three months of 2017 (3M 2016: EUR 0.4 million). The year-on-year decline was due to the situation on the reporting date and was principally attributable to an increase in inventories as a result of customer orders, and the rise in trade receivables. The operating cash flow is expected to be clearly positive again in the coming quarters. In view of further capital expenditures and scheduled repayment instalments, there was an overall cash outflow of EUR 2.6 million in the reporting period (3M 2016: inflow of EUR 0.4 million). The equity ratio declined slightly to 39% in the reporting period (December 31, 2016: 40%).
In the first three months of 2017, Group sales rose 8.5% to EUR 12.3 million (3M 2016: EUR 11.3 million). The Automotive Technology segment grew sales 9.3% to EUR 10.1 million (3M 2016: EUR 9.2 million) and the Industrial Electronics segment increased sales by 5.0% to EUR 2.2 million (3M 2016: EUR 2.1 million).
The ratio of material costs to total output was 55.2% in the reporting period, slightly below the prior-year level (3M 2016: 55.5%). At the same time, the personnel expense ratio increased from 21.3% to 22.4% due to the increase in headcount. Other expenses increased year-on-year from EUR 1.3 million to EUR 1.5 million. The other operating expenses include expenses of EUR 0.1 million (3M 2016: EUR 0.1 million) for agency staff at the production sites in Prachatice and Silao. Depreciation of property, plant and equipment and amortization of intangible assets amounted to EUR 1.1 million, as in the prior-year period. Spending on research and development was up slightly year-on-year at around EUR 0.7 million (3M 2016: EUR 0.6 million). Development work focused principally on the Automotive Technology segment.
EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) improved 9.5% year-on-year to EUR 1.4 million (3M 2016: EUR 1.3 million). The EBITDA margin therefore increased slightly from 11.4% to 11.5%. EBIT (earnings before interest and taxes) doubled year-on-year to EUR 0.4 million (3M 2016: EUR 0.2 million), increasing the EBIT margin from 1.6% to 2.9%. At segment level, the Automotive Technology segment reported EBIT of EUR 0.2 million in the first three months of 2017 (3M 2016: EUR 0.3 million) and the Industrial Electronics segment reported EBIT of EUR 0.1 million (3M 2016: minus EUR 0.1 million).
As in the prior-year period, the financial result was minus EUR 0.1 million (3M 2016: minus EUR 0.1 million), while tax expense was EUR 0.1 million (3M 2016: tax income of EUR 12 thousand). Group net income was therefore EUR 0.2 million at the end of the first three months (3M 2016: EUR 0.1 million). Earnings per share were EUR 0.04 (3M 2016: EUR 0.02).
After taking into account positive currency translation effects from translation of foreign business operations totalling EUR 0.1 million (3M 2016: minus EUR 14 thousand), comprehensive income was EUR 0.3 million the first three months of 2017, compared with EUR 0.1 million on the comparable period of the previous year.
Since depreciation of property, plant and equipment corresponded to capital expenditures in the first quarter of 2017, property, plant and equipment was virtually unchanged at EUR 19.3 million as of March 31, 2017 (December 31, 2016: EUR 19.3 million). Intangible assets and deferred taxes were also constant at EUR 4.5 million and EUR 1.1 million respectively. Overall, non-current assets therefore declined marginally to EUR 24.9 million as of March 31, 2017 (December 31, 2016: EUR 25.0 million).
Current assets increased to EUR 19.1 million as of March 31, 2017 (December 31, 2016: EUR 16.5 million). The increase in the reporting period was mainly due to the rise in inventories from EUR 7.0 million to EUR 8.0 million, and the increase in trade receivables from EUR 8.5 million to EUR 9.9 million. Cash and cash equivalents totalled EUR 0.3 million on March 31, 2017 (December 31, 2016: EUR 0.4 million).
Current liabilities increased to EUR 15.8 million in the first quarter of 2017 (December 31, 2016: EUR 13.3 million). This was mainly attributable to the increase in current liabilities to banks from EUR 8.9 million to EUR 11.2 million. Trade payables were EUR 2.7 million as of March 31, 2017, unchanged from December 31, 2016.
Non-current liabilities were EUR 11.2 million in the reporting period, down from EUR 11.4 million. While non-current liabilities to banks dropped from EUR 9.8 million to EUR 9.6 million due to scheduled repayment instalments, deferred taxes were EUR 1.6 million, unchanged from December 31, 2016.
Equity increased to EUR 17.0 million as of March 31, 2017 (December 31, 2016: EUR 16.7 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, and to positive currency translation effects, which led to a corresponding reduction in the currency translation reserve. The capital stock of EUR 4.3 million, treasury stock of EUR 64 thousand and the general capital reserve of EUR 15.4 million were constant in the reporting period. Total equity and liabilities increased to EUR 44.0 million as of the end of the first quarter of 2017 (December 31, 2016: EUR 41.5 million) and the equity ratio therefore dropped from 40.3% to 38.6%.
The net cash outflow for operating activities was EUR 1.1 million in the first three months of 2017 (3M 2016: inflow of EUR 0.4 million). The year-on-year decline was due to the situation on the reporting date and was principally attributable to an increase in inventories as a result of customer orders, and to the rise in trade receivables. The operating cash flow is expected to be clearly positive again in the coming quarters. Excluding interest payments, the cash outflow for operating activities was EUR 1.0 million (3M 2016: inflow of EUR 0.5 million).
The net cash outflow for investing activities was EUR 1.1 million in the reporting period (3M 2016: outflow of EUR 1.0 million). Investment in intangible assets amounted to EUR 0.4 million (3M 2016: EUR 0.3 million) and investment in property, plant and equipment was EUR 0.7 million (3M 2016: EUR 0.7 million). Total capital expenditures for property, plant and equipment of around EUR 4.5 million are planned for 2017. The biggest items relate to expansion of the site in Mexico, including installing a further production line, and an increase in production capacity at the facilities in the Czech Republic in response to new customer orders. In addition, InTiCa will be investing specifically in further modernization of production facilities to raise efficiency as part of the consistent implementation of the lean philosophy.
The net cash outflow for financing activities was EUR 0.4 million in the first quarter of 2017 (3M 2016: inflow of EUR 1.0 million). The only cash outflows in the reporting period comprised EUR 0.4 million for the repayment of loans (3M 2016: EUR 1.0 million).
That resulted in a total cash outflow of EUR 2.6 million in the reporting period (3M 2016: inflow of EUR 0.4 million). Cash and cash equivalents (less overdrafts) were minus EUR 9.3 million as of March 31, 2017 (March 31, 2016: minus EUR 7.0 million). As of the reporting date, InTiCa Systems AG had assured credit facilities which could be drawn at any time totalling EUR 10.35 million.
The headcount increased further in the reporting period and was 592 as of March 31, 2017 (March 31, 2016: 582). 38 of these employees were agency staff (March 31, 2016: 58). On average, the Group had 591 employees in the reporting period (3M 2016: 556), including agency staff in both cases.
The management report in the annual report for 2016 provides full details of risk factors that could affect the business performance of InTiCa Systems in section 3 "Risk management and risk report", while business potential is discussed in section 4 "Opportunities and management of opportunities". There was no material change in the risk/ opportunity profile of InTiCa Systems AG in the reporting period.
Business performance in the first three months was in line with the Board of Directors' expectations so it is retaining its outlook for fiscal 2017.
The Automotive Technology segment will remain the most important element in InTiCa Systems' business activities in 2017, as in previous years. The investment in expanding production capacity and optimizing production workflows has reduced material costs and overcome capacity bottlenecks but the Board of Directors sees further scope for optimization. The Industrial Electronics segment should stabilize further, even though business conditions remain challenging. Product innovations and further internationalization should open the door to new markets. InTiCa Systems' ability to offer customer-specific solutions, combined with greater vertical integration and systems solution competence, is its main competitive advantage in addressing the opportunities that arise. In-house manufacturing is expected to be over 80% again in 2017.
At the end of the first quarter of 2017, orders on hand were well above the prior-year level at EUR 47.9 million (March 31, 2016: EUR 36.3 million). 83% of orders were for the Automotive Technology segment (March 31, 2016: 84%). Overall, the Board of Directors expects orders on hand to rise in the Automotive Technology segment and the Industrial Electronics segment.
At present, the Board of Directors assumes that, given a stable economic environment, Group sales will rise to around EUR 47 million to EUR 50 million in 2017 and the EBIT margin will improve to around 3%. The material cost ratio should drop further and the equity ratio should be held stable.
Further information on the segments can be found in the annual report for 2016 in section 5 "Outlook".

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. The equity ratio of around 39% as of March 31, 2017 (December 31, 2016: 40%) shows that the Group is still soundly financed.
The net cash outflow for operating activities was EUR 1,126 thousand in the first three months of 2017 (3M 2016: inflow of EUR 363 thousand). The total cash outflow in the reporting period was EUR 2,597 thousand (3M 2016: inflow of EUR 383 thousand).

On the asset side of the balance sheet, non-current assets declined to EUR 24,863 thousand (December 31, 2016: EUR 24,965 thousand), while current assets increased to EUR 19,136 thousand (December 31, 2016: EUR 16,512 thousand) due to the increase in inventories and trade receivables.
