Dear shareholders, employees and business associates,

As expected, the market in the automotive sector has remained difficult in 2019. The escalating trade dispute between the USA and China, the enormous uncertainty caused by the threat of Brexit, and the general economic downturn caused a reduction in international output and new registrations.

It is therefore particularly pleasing that we were able to escape this trend in the first quarter, thanks to our positioning and product portfolio. Overall, Group sales rose by around 3% to over EUR 13.6 million in the first quarter of 2019. The Automotive Technology segment actually grew by more than 5%. The news from Mexico is also good: serial production started and both output and the volumes called off will rise continuously during the year. In view of this, our headcount has already been increased. Despite a slight drop in demand for inverters, sales in the Industrial Electronics segment were almost level with the exceptionally good prior-period quarter. Demand for EMC filters developed especially well.

Net income was positive again in the past quarter. Following losses in the two previous quarters we have therefore achieved an important milestone. Although margins are not yet in line with our long-term expectations, the measures introduced to raise efficiency and reduce costs should have an increasingly positive effect in the course of the year.

Since progress in many areas is on schedule and the order situation is very good, we are confirming our guidance for 2019 as a whole.

We would like to thank our employees for their commitment, our customers and business partners for their collaboration and our shareholders for their trust in us.

Passau, May 2019

Economic report

General economic conditions

In their joint diagnosis for spring 2019, Germany's leading economic institutes come to the conclusion that the German economy has cooled considerably since the middle of 2018. They consider that this marks the end of the long-term upswing. The experts attribute the weaker momentum to a combination of international conditions and sector-specific factors. Global economic conditions have clouded, partly as a result of political risks. In addition, manufacturing industry is hampered by factors affecting output. The experts consider that the German economy is currently in a phase in which capacity overutilization will decline at the macroeconomic level. Consequently, they now only expect the economy to grow by 0.8% in 2019, a reduction of more than one percentage point compared with their forecast in autumn 2018. As long as there is no further escalation in the political risks, the experts see little danger of a pronounced recession with gross domestic product shrinking over several quarters.

The German Automotive Industry Association (VDA) estimates that the German car market developed favourably in the first quarter of 2019. It calculates that new car registrations totalled 880,200 in the first three months of the year, the highest level in a first quarter since 2000. Domestic order intake was 7% higher in the first quarter of 2019 than in the first quarter of 2018. The picture is different on the international car market. Foreign order intake was down 8% year-on-year in the first quarter of 2019. Overall, German car producers' output contracted by around 11% to just under 1.3 million vehicles in the first quarter. This is also reflected in export business. So far this year, 974,300 vehicles have been exported, a year-on-year drop of around 10%. Analogously to this, new registrations were down year-on-year in the most important car markets. The EU registered a decline of 3.3% in the first quarter, while the registrations were down 2.0% in the USA, 2.1% in Japan and 13.8% in China.

According to the German Electrical and Electronic Manufacturers' Association (ZVEI), order intake remained around the prior-year level. While domestic orders rose by 2.4%, export orders dropped by 2.3%. Overall, German electrical and electronics manufacturers increased sales by 0.8% to EUR 47.2 billion in the first quarter of 2019, with domestic sales rising 1.3% to EUR 22.4 billion while foreign sales rose 0.4% to EUR 24.8 billion. However, capacity utilization fell by nearly two percentage points to 85.7% of total operational capacity at the start of the second quarter. At the same time, work on hand dropped from 3.8 to 3.4 months.

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

Sales were in line with the Board of Directors' expectations in the first quarter of 2019. Sales in the Automotive Technology segment increased year-on-year again and the Industrial Electronics segment almost matched the very high prior-year sales level. EBITDA was EUR 1.51 million, which was slightly over the previous year's level (3M 2018: EUR 1.45 million), while the EBITDA margin was 11.1% (3M 2018: 11.0%). While the ratio of material costs to total output was reduced slightly, the personnel expense ratio (including agency staff) was 25.5%, slightly higher than in the prioryear period (3M 2018: 25.3%). EBIT was EUR 0.3 million in the first quarter of 2019 (3M 2018: EUR 0.4 million) and the EBIT margin was 2.1% (3M 2018: 2.8%). Group net income was EUR 93 thousand in the reporting period (3M 2018: EUR 156 thousand).

Due to the high level of receivables on the reporting date, the operating cash flow was minus EUR 0.5 million in the first three months of 2019 (3M 2018: EUR 1.2 million). As a result of further investment to extend and modernize production and scheduled loan repayments, there was a total cash outflow of EUR 1.7 million in the reporting period (3M 2018: outflow of EUR 1.2 million). The equity ratio declined to 30.0% in the reporting period (December 31, 2018: 33.5%).

Earnings position

Overall, Group sales increased by 3.2% year-on-year to EUR 13.6 million (3M 2018: EUR 13.2 million). In the Automotive Technology segment, sales rose 5.7% year-onyear to EUR 10.3 million (3M 2018: EUR 9.7 million). Sales in the Industrial Electronics segment were slightly lower than in the prior-year period at EUR 3.4 million (3M 2018: EUR 3.5 million).

The ratio of material costs to total output was 53.9% in the reporting period, which was slightly below the prior-year level (3M 2018: 54.1%). By contrast, the personnel expense ratio (including agency staff) increased slightly from 25.3% to 25.5%. Other expenses increased from EUR 1.7 million in the prior-year period to EUR 1.9 million. The other operating expenses include expenses of EUR 0.6 million (3M 2018: EUR 0.3 million) for agency staff.

Depreciation of property, plant and equipment and amortization of intangible assets amounted to EUR 1.2 million (3M 2018: EUR 1.1 million), and spending on research and development was EUR 0.7 million, slightly below the prior-year figure (3M 2018: EUR 0.8 million). Development work focused principally on the Automotive Technology segment.

EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) showed a slight improvement of 4.3% year-onyear to EUR 1.51 million (3M 2018: EUR 1.45 million). The EBITDA margin therefore increased slightly from 11.0% to 11.1%. EBIT (earnings before interest and taxes) was EUR 0.3 million (3M 2018: EUR 0.4 million), so the EBIT margin declined from 2.8% to 2.1%. At segment level, Automotive Technology reported EBIT of EUR 0.3 million in the first three months of 2019 (3M 2018: EUR 0.1 million) and the Industrial Electronics segment reported EBIT of EUR 0.03 million (3M 2018: EUR 0.3 million).

The financial result was minus EUR 0.2 million in the reporting period (3M 2018: minus EUR 0.1 million), and tax expense was EUR 0.04 million (3M 2018: EUR 0.1 million). Group net income was EUR 0.1 million in the first three months (3M 2018: EUR 0.2 million). Earnings per share were EUR 0.02 (3M 2018: EUR 0.04).

As a result of currency translation gains of EUR 2 thousand (3M 2018: EUR 0.1 million) from the translation of foreign business operations, total comprehensive income was EUR 0.1 million in the first three months of 2019 (3M 2018: EUR 0.3 million).

Non-current assets

Non-current assets increased to EUR 31.0 million as of March 31, 2019 (December 31, 2018: EUR 28.1 million). This was principally due to initial application of the new standard on leases (IFRS 16), which resulted in recognition right-of-use assets for leases totalling EUR 3.5 million. Consequently, property, plant and equipment increased to EUR 24.8 million (December 31, 2018: EUR 22.0 million). At the same time, intangible assets rose to EUR 5.0 million (December 31, 2018: EUR 4.9 million) and deferred taxes were EUR 1.2 million (December 31, 2018: EUR 1.2 million).

Current assets

Current assets increased to EUR 25.1 million as of March 31, 2019 (December 31, 2018: EUR 22.0 million). Trade receivables rose from EUR 9.2 million to EUR 11.4 million in the reporting period, inventories increased from EUR 11.0 million to EUR 11.4 million and other financial assets increased from EUR 0.1 million to EUR 0.6 million. The other current receivables also increased slightly from EUR 1.6 million to EUR 1.7 million. Cash and cash equivalents totalled EUR 0.07 million on March 31, 2019 (December 31, 2018: EUR 0.08 million).

Liabilities

Current liabilities increased to EUR 23.1 million in the first quarter of 2019 (December 31, 2018: EUR 20.9 million). This was mainly due to an increase in current liabilities to banks from EUR 13.6 million to EUR 14.5 million and in trade payables from EUR 4.9 million to EUR 6.4 million.

Non-current liabilities also rose in the reporting period, from EUR 12.5 million to EUR 16.2 million. This was mainly attributable to the increase in non-current liabilities to banks from EUR 10.8 million to EUR 11.1 million and to first-time recognition of other non-current liabilities totalling EUR 3.4 million in accordance with IFRS 16. Deferred taxes were unchanged from December 31, 2018 at EUR 1.7 million.

Equity

Equity rose slightly to EUR 16.9 million as of March 31, 2019 (December 31, 2018: EUR 16.8 million). This increase was attributable to the profit for the period, which reduced the negative profit reserve to minus EUR 2.0 million. The capital stock of EUR 4.3 million, treasury stock of EUR 64 thousand, the currency translation reserve of minus EUR 0.8 million and the general capital reserve of EUR 15.4 million were constant in the reporting period. Total assets increased to EUR 56.1 million at the end of the first quarter of 2019 (December 31, 2018: EUR 50.1 million). The equity ratio therefore declined from 33.5% to 30.0%.

Liquidity and cash flow statement

The net cash outflow for operating activities was EUR 0.5 million in the first three months of 2019 (3M 2018: inflow of EUR 1.2 million). The year-on-year reduction was mainly due to an increase in trade receivables on the reporting date. Excluding tax expense and interest payments, the cash outflow for operating activities was EUR 0.2 million (3M 2018: inflow of EUR 1.3 million).

The net cash outflow for investing activities was EUR 0.6 million in the reporting period (3M 2018: outflow of EUR 2.0 million). Investment in intangible assets amounted to EUR 0.3 million (3M 2018: EUR 0.3 million) and investment in property, plant and equipment was EUR 0.3 million (3M 2018: EUR 1.6 million). Further capital expenditures for property, plant and equipment of around EUR 5.8 million are planned for 2019. They include EUR 3.3 million for two highly automated leased production lines, which will be used to produce stator coils for hybrid vehicles. Further investments mainly relate to the installation and extension of production plants for e-mobility (EMC filters and stators) at the site in the Czech Republic.

The net cash outflow for financing activities was EUR 0.6 million in the first quarter of 2019 (3M 2018: outflow of EUR 0.5 million). The cash outflow in the reporting period included EUR 0.5 million for loan repayments (3M 2018: EUR 0.5 million) and EUR 0.1 million for lease payments (3M 2018: EUR 0 thousand).

That resulted in a total cash outflow of EUR 1.7 million in the reporting period (3M 2018: outflow of EUR 1.2 million). Cash and cash equivalents (less overdrafts) were minus EUR 11.7 million (March 31, 2018: minus EUR 6.9 million). As of the reporting date, InTiCa Systems AG also had assured credit facilities which could be drawn at any time totalling EUR 12.4 million.

Employees

The headcount was 713 on March 31, 2019 (March 31, 2018: 615). 229 of these employees were agency staff (March 31, 2018: 88). The increase in the number of agency staff is still due to the current labour market situation in the Czech Republic, with a labour shortage and rising wage costs, and to the start-up and expansion of the facility in Mexico, where agency staff are generally employed at first, until order call-off volume stabilizes as serial production increases. On average, the Group had 697 employees in the reporting period (3M 2018: 619), including agency staff in both cases.

Risks and opportunities

The management report in the annual report for 2018 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.

Outlook

Business performance in the first three months was in line with the Board of Directors' expectations so it is retaining its outlook for fiscal 2019.

The Automotive Technology segment will remain the most important element in InTiCa Systems' business activities in 2019, as in previous years. Product innovations and further internationalization should open the door to new markets in both segments. As a result of international shortages and longer delivery times, the supply of raw materials will remain a challenge in 2019. Other challenges are customers' order call-off patterns and the availability of skilled staff. The Board of Directors expects to see an ongoing improvement in efficiency and an improvement in the cost situation in 2019 as a result of constant optimization of corporate processes and production workflows.

At the end of the first quarter of 2019, orders on hand were well above the prior-year level at EUR 88.0 million (March 31, 2018: EUR 59.8 million). 83% of orders were for the Automotive Technology segment (Q1 2018: 88%). 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 and taking into account the particular challenges of 2019, Group sales will rise to around EUR 54.0 million to EUR 58.0 million in 2019, while the EBIT margin will be between 1.5% and 2.0% The material cost ratio should be optimized further in both segments and the equity ratio should remain stable.

Further information on the segments can be found in the annual report for 2018 in section 6 "Outlook".

Accounting based on the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS)

The consolidated interim financial statements of InTiCa Systems AG as of March 31, 2019, 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 2018, 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 threemonths period ending on March 31, 2019. Comparative data refer to the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2018, or the consolidated interim financial statements as of March 31, 2018. 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 2018. This is available at Investor Relations/Publications on the company's website at www.intica-systems.com/en.

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.

With the exception of IFRS 16, the changes in the accounting policies and valuation methods applicable from the 2019 financial year have not had any material impact. The effects of IFRS 16 are outlined briefly below:

Impact of IFRS 16 – Leases

As a result of the change to IFRS 16 as of January 1, 2019 right-of-use assets for leases totalling EUR 3.5 million were capitalized and other non-current liabilities of the same amount were recognized on the liabilities side. The resulting increase in total assets and total equity and liabilities reduced the equity ratio. In the cash flow statement, lease and rental payments are no longer presented in the cash flow from operating activities. Instead they are split and presented separately in the line items "cash outflow for interest payments" and "repayments from the redemption of finance leases".

The modified retrospective method was applied for the switch to IFRS 16. The comparative figures for the prior-year periods have not been restated.

Scope of consolidation

In addition to the parent company, InTiCa Systems AG, Passau, Germany, the InTiCa Systems s.r.o., Prachatice, Czech Republic, and the Sistemas Mecatrónicos InTiCa S.A.P.I. de C.V., Silao, Mexico are included in the

Sales increased in the Automotive Technology segment but declined slightly in the Industrial Electronics segment. EBITDA rose from EUR 1,450 thousand to EUR 1,512 thousand.

Consolidated balance sheet and cash flow statement

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 30% as of March 31, 2019 (December 31, 2018: 33.5%) shows that the company is still soundly financed.

The net cash outflow for operating activities was EUR 546 thousand in the first three months of 2019 (3M 2018: inflow of EUR 1,222 thousand). The total cash outflow in the reporting period was EUR 1,732 thousand (3M 2018: outflow of EUR 1,183 thousand). Cash and cash equivalents therefore declined from minus EUR 9,933 thousand as of December 31, 2018 to minus EUR 11,651 thousand as of March 31, 2019. Equity and liabilities changed as follows in the reporting period: equity increased to EUR 16,855 thousand (December 31, 2018: EUR 16,760 thousand), noncurrent liabilities increased to EUR 16,151 thousand (December 31, 2018: EUR 12,453 thousand) and current liabilities increased to EUR 23,142 thousand (December 31, 2018: EUR 20,852 thousand), mainly because of the increase in non-current liabilities to banks and trade payables. On the assets side of the balance sheet, noncurrent assets increased to EUR 31,012 thousand (December 31, 2018: EUR 28,076 thousand), while current assets increased to EUR 25,136 thousand (December 31, 2018: EUR 21,989 thousand) as a result of the increase in trade receivables.
