True to our motto "Technology for growth markets", we are constantly addressing questions about the future. What will e-mobility look like? How will e-solutions affect our daily lives? How will these solutions be networked in the future? InTiCa Systems' expertise provides a broad basis to answer these questions. Inductive components will play an increasingly important role in vehicles, in future charging stations, in energy storage, and in distributed energy generation.
Both the automotive industry and industrial electronics are currently going through a period of massive and at times disruptive change. Energy storage, e-mobility, safety technology, connectivity, autonomous driving and energy management are the key technologies in this context. With our competent in-house team of developers and production technologists, we help our customers find the most efficient solutions for their individual needs and for new challenges, and transform ideas into innovative and marketable products. InTiCa Systems already serves four of these technologies with solutions for the storage of electrical energy, e-mobility, safety technology and energy management. We have therefore laid firm foundations for the future, so we can remain a step ahead of technological change.
We also see far-reaching opportunities in internationalization. A local presence and local supply offer important advantages for customers and business partners through higher momentum, more reliable supply and, above all, flexibility. At the moment, we supply our products to Europe, the Americas and Asia. We have production facilities in Europe and NAFTA. Initial analyses for a base in Asia are under way. In view of the challenges and the expense, realization is only planned after the ramp-up of production in Mexico. However, specific enquiries from customers show that a presence in Asia will be essential in the medium term.
Our business performance in the first quarter of 2018 was in line with our plans. Overall, Group sales grew 7.5% to EUR 13.2 million. In the Automotive Technology segment, sales declined slightly compared with the prior-year period. There were several reasons for this. British car manufacturers reduced order volumes as a result of the uncertainty caused by the still unclear impact of the UK's exit from the EU. Similarly, the diesel scandal has had an impact on some car producers. In addition, the delays in the rampup of production in Mexico at the end of last year are continuing to affect production and call-off volumes in the first half of 2018.
Nevertheless, we are confident that our Automotive Technology segment can achieve the forecast growth this year, especially as further large-scale serial production is scheduled to start at the Mexico site in the second half of the year. In addition, sales in the Industrial Electronics segment were significantly higher than in the prior-year period. As well as sustained high demand for inverters, this was driven by project revenues in the strategically important business with EMC filter technology. EMC filter solutions will also play an increasingly significant role in the Automotive Technology segment in the future.
As in recent years, in 2018 we plan to invest around EUR 4.5 million to extend our facilities in Mexico and the Czech Republic. The biggest items here are the new production lines in Mexico, already mentioned, and new production capacity for EMC filters and stators for hybrid and electric vehicles in the Czech Republic. Efficient processes that create value and the associated vertical integration are the basis for our competitively driven lean philosophy.
As you can see, we are continuing to pursue our intensive growth strategy and intend to drive forward internationalization, extend our established customer base and broaden value added. In this context, we place great importance on our reputation as a trusted, reliable and responsible partner, both for our customers and for our employees and shareholders.

Following a very good performance in 2017, with a rise of 72.4%, shares in InTiCa Systems AG started the first quarter of 2018 at a price of EUR 8.19. The positive performance continued at first, bringing the share price to a year-to-date high on January 10, 2018. After that, the shares were unable to escape the negative market trend and the price dropped to a year-to-date low of EUR 6.50 on March 5, 2018. However, price rapidly rebounded to around EUR 7.00. The shares closed the first quarter of 2018 in Xetra trading at EUR 6.95. The sideways movement then continued and the closing price on May 15, 2018 was EUR 7.20. That was a decline of 12% since the start of the year, bringing InTiCa Systems' market capitalization to EUR 30.9 million.
In the first three months of 2018, 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 2017 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 6, 2018. Shareholders will be given information on fiscal 2017 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 11/12, 2018.

As of May 15, 2018
for the period from January 1 to March 31, 2018
In their joint diagnosis for spring 2018, Germany's leading economic institutes conclude that the upswing in the German economy will continue. However, the gradual reduction in available capacity means that the economy is showing a slight drop in momentum. Nevertheless, the global economic upswing will continue to boost exports and the domestic economy should remain buoyant given the exceptionally favourable labour market situation. In addition, the economic institutes expect demand to be stimulated by the fiscal measures set out in the new government's coalition agreement. The experts therefore expect economic output to rise by an average of 2.2% over the year.
The German Automotive Industry Association (VDA) still assumes that the global car market developed positively in the first quarter of 2018. It calculates that new car registrations in Western Europe rose 1% to 4.3 million registered in first quarter, setting a new record for volume sales. Similarly, in the USA it was the strongest first quarter since 2001, with sales totalling 4.1 million light vehicles (+2 percent). In China, market volume rose 4 percent to 6.0 million vehicles sold and double-digit growth rates were registered in both Russia and Brazil. Unit sales only declined slightly in Japan.
The electrical and electronics industry is optimistic about 2018 with output, revenues and order intake all up significantly in January and February. According to the German Electrical and Electronic Manufacturers' Association (ZVEI), on a cumulative basis order intake in the German electrical and electronics sector was 5.4% higher in January and February than in the prior-year period. Price-adjusted output increased 5.2% year-on-year in this period and sector sales rose 8.1% to EUR 30.7 billion. Overall, the association expects real output to grow by 5.2% in 2018.
There were no events of material significance for the company in the reporting period.
Sales were in line with the Board of Directors plans in the first quarter of 2018. In the Automotive Technology segment, sales slipped slightly year-on-year. However, the start-up of large-scale serial production in the second half of 2018 will enable this segment to meet the forecast full-year increase in growth. The Industrial Electronics segment reported a considerable increase in sales revenue compared with the prior-year period. Alongside sustained high demand for inverters, in the first quarter the segment booked project revenues in the strategically important EMC filter technology business.
EBITDA was EUR 1.5 million, which was slightly above the previous year's level (3M 2017: EUR 1.4 million), while the EBITDA margin was 11.0% (3M 2017: 11.5%). The ratio of material costs to total output was reduced, but the personnel expense ratio increased as a result of the rise in headcount. EBIT was EUR 0.4 million in the first quarter of 2018, and thus remained around the prior-period level. The EBIT margin was 2.8% (3M 2017: 2.9%). Group net income was EUR 156 thousand (3M 2017: EUR 158 thousand).
The cash flow from operating activities was EUR 1.2 million in the first three months of 2018 (3M 2017: cash outflow of EUR 1.1 million). As a result of further investment to extend and modernize production and scheduled loan repayments, there was a total cash outflow of EUR 1.2 million in the reporting period (3M 2017: outflow of EUR 2.6 million). The equity ratio declined slightly to 40% in the reporting period (December 31, 2017: 42%).
Group sales grew 7.5% year-on-year to EUR 13.2 million in the first quarter of 2018 (3M 2017: EUR 12.3 million). For various reasons demand in the Automotive Technology segment slipped 3.8% year-on-year to EUR 9.7 million (3M 2017: EUR 10.1 million). Overall, the Board of Directors expects full-year sales in the Automotive Technology segment to rise to between EUR 45 million and EUR 47 million due to start-up of new serial production in the second half of the year. In the Industrial Electronics segment, by contrast, sales grew 59.5% to EUR 3.5 million (3M 2017: EUR 2.2 million). Alongside constantly high demand for inverters, the positive development in the first quarter of 2018 was due to project revenues from EMC filters.
The ratio of material costs to total output was 54.1% in the reporting period, which was below the prior-year level (3M 2017: 55.2%). At the same time, the personnel expense ratio increased slightly from 22.4% to 22.8% due to the increase in headcount. Other expenses increased year-on-year from EUR 1.5 million to EUR 1.7 million. The other operating expenses include expenses of EUR 0.1 million (3M 2017: EUR 0.1 million) for agency staff.
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 0.8 million (3M 2017: EUR 0.7 million). Development work focused principally on the Automotive Technology segment.
EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) was slightly higher (+2.8%) than in the prioryear period at EUR 1.5 million (3M 2017: EUR 1.4 million). The EBITDA margin therefore declined from 11.5% to 11.0%. EBIT (earnings before interest and taxes) was EUR 0.4 million (3M 2017: EUR 0.4 million), and the EBIT margin declined slightly from 2.9% to 2.8%. At segment level, the Automotive Technology segment reported EBIT of EUR 0.1 million in the first three months of 2018 (3M 2017: EUR 0.2 million) and the Industrial Electronics segment reported EBIT of EUR 0.3 million (3M 2017: EUR 0.1 million).
As in the prior-year period, the financial result was minus EUR 0.1 million (3M 2017: minus EUR 0.1 million), while tax expense was EUR 0.1 million (3M 2017: EUR 0.1 million). Group net income was therefore EUR 0.2 million at the end of the first three months (3M 2017: EUR 0.2 million). Earnings per share were EUR 0.04 (3M 2017: EUR 0.04).
After taking into account currency translation gains of EUR 0.1 million (3M 2017: EUR 0.1 million) from the translation of foreign business operations, comprehensive income was EUR 0.3 million in the first three months of 2018 (3M 2017: EUR 0.3 million).
Investment in property, plant and equipment and intangible assets in the reporting period exceeded the corresponding depreciation and amortization, so non-current assets increased to EUR 26.7 million as of March 31, 2018 (December 31, 2017: EUR 25.8 million). Property, plant and equipment amounted to EUR 21.0 million (December 31, 2017: EUR 20.1 million), intangible assets totalled EUR 4.7 million (December 31, 2017: EUR 4.6 million) and deferred taxes amounted to EUR 1.0 million (December 31, 2017: EUR 1.1 million).
Current assets increased to EUR 19.5 million as of March 31, 2018 (December 31, 2017: EUR 17.5 million). Trade receivables rose from EUR 8.8 million to EUR 10.2 million in the reporting period. At the same time, inventories increased from EUR 8.1 million to EUR 8.2 million and other current receivables increased from EUR 0.4 million to EUR 0.7 million. Cash and cash equivalents totalled EUR 0.3 million on March 31, 2018 (December 31, 2017: EUR 0.1 million).
Current liabilities increased to EUR 15.6 million in the first quarter of 2018 (December 31, 2017: EUR 12.5 million). This was mainly due to an increase in current liabilities to banks from EUR 9.1 million to EUR 10.5 million and in trade payables from EUR 1.6 million to EUR 3.0 million.
Non-current liabilities decreased from EUR 12.6 million to EUR 12.2 million in the reporting period. While non-current liabilities to banks dropped from EUR 10.9 million to EUR 10.5 million due to scheduled repayment instalments, deferred taxes were EUR 1.7 million, unchanged from December 31, 2017.
Equity increased to EUR 18.4 million as of March 31, 2018 (December 31, 2017: EUR 18.1 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 negative currency translation reserve. The capital stock of EUR 4.3 million, treasury stock of EUR 64 thousand and the capital reserve of EUR 15.4 million were constant in the reporting period. Total equity and liabilities increased to EUR 46.2 million at the end of the first quarter of 2018 (December 31, 2017: EUR 43.2 million) and the equity ratio dropped from 41.9% to 39.9% as a result.
The net cash flow from operating activities was EUR 1.2 million in the first three months of 2018 (3M 2017: outflow of EUR 1.1 million). The clear year-on-year improvement was mainly due to the lower rise in inventories and the increase in trade payables. Excluding interest payments, cash flow from operating activities was EUR 1.3 million (3M 2017: outflow of EUR 1.0 million).
The net cash outflow for investing activities was EUR 2.0 million in the reporting period (3M 2017: outflow of EUR 1.1 million). Investment in intangible assets amounted to EUR 0.3 million (3M 2017: EUR 0.4 million) and investment in property, plant and equipment was EUR 1.6 million (3M 2017: EUR 0.7 million). Capital expenditures for property, plant and equipment of around EUR 4.5 million are planned for 2018 as a whole. The biggest items relate to further expansion of the site in Mexico and an increase in production capacity at the facilities in the Czech Republic in response to new customer orders. Further modernization to raise efficiency will support the progress with the lean philosophy.
The net cash outflow for financing activities was EUR 0.5 million in the first quarter of 2018 (3M 2017: outflow of EUR 0.4 million). The only cash outflow in the reporting period comprised EUR 0.5 million for the repayment of loans (3M 2017: EUR 0.4 million).
That resulted in a total cash outflow of EUR 1.2 million in the reporting period (3M 2017: outflow of EUR 2.6 million). Cash and cash equivalents (less overdrafts) were minus EUR 6.9 million as of March 31, 2018 (March 31, 2017: minus EUR 9.3 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 was 615 on March 31, 2018 (March 31, 2017: 592). 88 of these employees were agency staff (March 31, 2017: 38). On average, the Group had 619 employees in the reporting period (3M 2017: 591), including agency staff in both cases.
The management report in the annual report for 2017 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.
Business performance in the first three months was in line with the Board of Directors' expectations so it is retaining its outlook for fiscal 2018.
The Automotive Technology segment will remain the most important element in InTiCa Systems' business activities in 2018, as in previous years. 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 in both segments. Special challenges in 2018 are the investment and industrialization projects to prepare for contracts that will generate sales revenues in subsequent years, access to raw materials in the light of specific international shortages, resulting in longer delivery times, and the availability of skilled personnel to meet order commitments. Continuous progress will be made in 2018 thanks to permanent optimization of corporate processes and production workflows. The Board of Directors nevertheless sees further scope for optimization.
At the end of the first quarter of 2018, orders on hand were well above the prior-year level at EUR 59.8 million (March 31, 2017: EUR 47.9 million). 88% of orders were for the Automotive Technology segment (March 31, 2017: 83%). 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 53 million to EUR 56 million in 2018 and the EBIT margin will improve to around 3.0% to 3.5%. The material cost ratio should drop further in both segments and the equity ratio should be held stable.
Further information on the segments can be found in the annual report for 2017 in section 6 "Outlook".

The net cash flow for operating activities was EUR 1,222 thousand in the first three months of 2018 (3M 2017: minus EUR 1,126 thousand).
