Letter from the Chief Executive Officer.

Georg Kapsch, Chief Executive Officer

Dear shareholders,

The Kapsch TrafficCom Group can look back on a complex first half fiscal year of 2012/13. The postponement of project implementations and roll-outs meant that the last six months were disappointing in terms of revenue and results. At the same time, the completion and associated payment of the major project in Poland bolstered the structure of the balance sheet, meaning that the key balance sheet figures demonstrate a solid financial basis. We managed to win several new contracts over the reporting period. This also shows that we were right to adapt our strategy and re-focus Kapsch TrafficCom for the future.

In the first six months of 2012/13 the Kapsch TrafficCom Group generated revenues of EUR 203.4 million, 27 % below the outstanding revenue of the previous year's period which was boosted by the implementation of major projects. The decline was derived from the fact that the implementation projects recently won in the reporting period are not yet reflected in the figures. Moreover, we have not yet been able to generate the expected levels of operating revenue from the projects in South Africa and Poland. The sale of on-board units also shows that no new equipment was required for major projects in the reporting period. However, the finalization of the contracts with the E-ZPass Group produced the expected volume growth in the second quarter.

The lower revenues made it more difficult to cover costs completely. EBIT over the first half-year amounted to EUR -6.2 million, which comprises a significant improvement in the second quarter. The growing volume of sales in on-board units contributed to this, but also the increased input from the operation project in Poland.

While we are not satisfied with these earnings figures, they do not give us cause for alarm either. The project business at present is blighted by volatility in revenues and earnings, which limits the ability to compare individual quarters. We only measure ourselves based on annual results.

The first half-year of 2012/13 was marked by developments in the main projects in Poland and South Africa. In Poland, the nationwide electronic toll collection system that we constructed in record time has been in operation for more than one year. The toll income collected by our customer has exceeded expectations and their satisfaction is demonstrated by the additional orders that have been placed. However, the revenues for Kapsch TrafficCom have fallen short of our expectations. In South Africa the start of the electronic toll collection system in the province of Gauteng was suspended shortly before its planned launch in the first quarter due to a legal action brought against the South African road operator. Although we reached an agreement with our customer on the running costs incurred, there is no operation revenue to offset them for now. We are optimistic about the latest developments: at the end of October a decision was made to continue the system roll-out process.

In the second quarter of 2012/13 we achieved significant, strategic successes on the U.S. market. At the end of July we were selected as the supplier for an entire system – for the first time in this region. In Northern Texas we shall be implementing a so-called "managed lane" system on two highways, which comprises a toll collection system, an intelligent transportation system and a network communications system. It will become one of the most modern transportation systems in North America. Just one month later we were awarded another contract, this time for an incident detection system in a tunnel in Houston. We are extremely delighted about both of these achievements as they represent a milestone for our U.S. strategy. They also demonstrate that we can compete successfully on this market with all-round ITS solutions. In Brazil – one of the fastest growing markets in the ITS industry – we won our first contract for the delivery of on-board units in the reporting period. At the end of August we also won another contract for a toll collection system in Sydney, Australia.

The strength of the Kapsch TrafficCom Group in terms of future projects too is demonstrated by the extremely solid balance sheet structure. In the first quarter the payment of the last milestone from the system implementation in Poland resulted in a significant improvement in the overall picture. As of 30 September 2012 the equity ratio amounted to 46.2%, while liquid assets rose compared to the reporting date of 31 March 2012 to EUR 67.7 million. At EUR 16.3 million, net debt remains at a very low level; net working capital and capital employed were lowered substantially. The free cash flow totaled an impressive EUR 78.7 million. This sound financial basis encourages us to continue investing in research and development and in new projects as well as markets, in spite of the temporary decline in results.

The contracts which we have received in recent months have demonstrated the growing convergence of the ITS market. I look on this as confirmation of our strategy and the new corporate structure that we implemented from early October. This enables us to attribute more importance to ITS systems alongside toll collection systems – and therefore the development of complete solutions. The Kapsch TrafficCom Group now has a globally uniform organizational structure with coordinated standards, processes and interfaces. This will underpin the continuation of our growth.

Together with existing and new projects I see great potential here for the further development of the Kapsch TrafficCom Group. The current order book and the successes achieved will also be reflected in earnings in the second half-year of 2012/13. Our major project in Belarus was launched in September as planned. In addition to this the coming months will be marked by developments in South Africa and the participation in tenders. We are currently working on a bid for a toll collection system tender in Hungary.

Yours sincerely,

Georg Kapsch Chief Executive Officer

Kapsch TrafficCom Shares.

The shares of Kapsch TrafficCom are listed on the Vienna Stock Exchange and are included in the ATX Prime Index. In the first half of this fiscal year the share price declined by 22 % thereby underperforming the index by far. After a moderate downward trend in the first quarter in line with the overall stock market climate the price of the Kapsch TrafficCom shares dropped sharply in August amidst high trading. At the end of the quarter on 28 September 2012 it closed at EUR 49.68. However, taking a longer view of price trends against the background of the stock market, the shares have performed well overall against the main benchmark indices. Since the IPO in June 2007 the price of Kapsch TrafficCom shares has risen by approximately 50 % – despite the weak development during the current reporting period – while the ATX Prime and some of the international indices fell sharply to the same extent over the corresponding period.

The number of shares totals 13 million. KAPSCH-Group Beteiligungs GmbH holds 61.9 % of the shares, with the remaining 38.1 % in free float (including the shares held by Erwin Toplak, COO). Based on a closing price of EUR 49.68, Kapsch TrafficCom's market capitalization as of 30 September 2012 was EUR 645.8 million.

Closing price of Kapsch TrafficCom shares and closing value of ATX Prime Index on 31 March 2012 each indexed to 100.

Interim Management Report.

Economic climate for the group.

Global traffic volumes are constantly growing, with India, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, China and many Latin American countries showing the fastest growth. With its intelligent transportation systems (ITS) in the application fields of toll collection, urban access management and traffic safety and security, the Kapsch TrafficCom Group has already established a presence in all of these high-growth markets. The Kapsch TrafficCom Group closely monitors developments in requirements in these regions on an ongoing basis, so that it is in a position to supply technical solutions tailored to the specific needs of the market at any time.

Influenced by the fraught worldwide macroeconomic situation the Kapsch TrafficCom Group and its customers continue to face a challenging market environment. However, the management believes that investments in infrastructure will be undertaken even in this challenging economic environment. Several major projects are currently being tendered or are in their preparatory stage just now around the world in relation to rolling out new or modernizing existing toll collection systems.

Financial performance indicators.

Revenues and earnings.

The revenues of the Kapsch TrafficCom Group totaled EUR 203.4 million in the first half of the current fiscal year 2012/13 (2012/13 H1), representing a decrease of 27.1 % from EUR 278.8 million, the value for the same period of the previous fiscal year (2011/12 H1). Lower revenues were registered in both the segment Road Solution Projects (RSP) and the segment Services, System Extensions, Components Sales (SEC).

Revenues by segment in the first half of the current fiscal year were as follows:

  • The segment Road Solution Projects (RSP) recorded revenues of EUR 50.2 million after EUR 122.9 million in the same period of the previous fiscal year, a decline of 59.2 %. The main factors influencing this decline on the one hand were the implementation of the nationwide electronic toll collection system in Poland in the previous year, which was completed in a very short period of time, and the lower revenue contribution of the electronic toll collection system project in the South African province of Gauteng, as it is already in its final stage of completion. The decline could not be compensated for in the first half of 2012/13 by the launched projects in Belarus, France, Australia and the U.S.A. as well as the extensions in Poland.
  • In the segment Services, System Extensions, Components Sales (SEC), revenues decreased by 5.6 % from EUR 153.2 million in the first half of the previous fiscal year to EUR 144.7 million this year. The suspended start of the operation project in the South African province of Gauteng negatively affected revenues as the expected deliveries were not ordered and the revenues in North America could not reach last year's level. However, the operation project in Poland which was not fully implemented in the same period in the previous year made a significant contribution to revenues. The technical and commercial operation of the nationwide system in the Czech Republic and the technical operation, including maintenance, of the nationwide systems in Austria and Switzerland generated stable revenues as before.

The number of on-board units sold amounted to 3.99 million (2011/12 H1: 5.72 million). The lower volume year-on-year resulted from initial equipment sales in connection with the nationwide toll collection system in Poland, delivered in the previous year, and the suspension of the start of the project in the South African province of Gauteng.

■ In the segment Others (OTH), revenues rose in the first half of 2012/13 to EUR 8.5 million (2011/12 H1: EUR 2.7 million). This rise resulted from production and deliveries for the GSM-R project of Kapsch CarrierCom.

In the first six months of the current fiscal year the Kapsch TrafficCom Group reported earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) of EUR -6.2 million (2011/12 H1: EUR 40.1 million). Operating results by segment were as follows in the first six months:

  • The segment RSP recorded an EBIT figure in the reporting period of EUR -15.7 million after EUR 7.5 million in the first half of the previous year. The lower revenues in comparison to the same period of the previous year were insufficient to cover the regular costs allocated to this segment.
  • The segment SEC generated EBIT of EUR 9.1 million (2011/12 H1: EUR 32.4 million). The main factors influencing this decline were the lower segment revenue overall, the competitive pricing agreement with the E-ZPass Group which brought margins in the U.S.A. down in line with typical global margins, as well as the low earnings in Poland and the lack of any real contribution to earnings from the delayed follow-up deliveries of on-board units for the system constructed in Gauteng, South Africa.
  • The segment OTH contributed EUR 0.5 million to earnings in the reporting half-year (2011/12 H1: EUR 0.2 million). The high EBIT margin from the previous year was largely triggered by the one-off absorption of costs for the adaption of the production for GSM-R products.

The financial result was improved from EUR -8.7 million in the same period of the previous year to EUR -2.1 million. Finance income remained at the same level as the previous year, largely on account of unrealized exchange-rate gains. Under finance costs there was a sharp drop in unrealized exchange-rate losses, as the previous year's financial result figure was significantly influenced by the intercompany financing in connection with the nationwide toll collection system in Poland.

Financial position and cash flows.

As of 30 September 2012, total assets dropped compared to the end of fiscal year 2011/12 to EUR 481.5 million (31 March 2012: EUR 557.7 million). Equity capital came in at EUR 222.5 million, below the figure from 31 March 2012 of EUR 256.2 million. The fall in total assets and the almost identical drop in equity capital raised the equity ratio of the Kapsch TrafficCom Group marginally from 45.9 % as of 31 March 2012 to 46.2 % as of 30 September 2012.

The main change under assets on the balance sheet was for current assets. Trade receivables along with other current assets dropped on account of the payment received for the completion of the Polish toll collection project, from EUR 287.6 million to EUR 189.1 million.

The most significant decrease under equity and liabilities on the balance sheet was registered for current liabilities. The major influencing factor here was current financial liabilities, which sank from EUR 53.2 million to EUR 18.3 million on account of the reduction in the credit for the Polish project.

The changes in the balance sheet demonstrate a clear improvement in the following figures:

  • The free cash flow rose from EUR -44.9 million to EUR 78.7 million compared to the same period of the previous year.
  • In spite of the corporate bond issued to maturity amounting to EUR 75.0 million, net debt was reduced from EUR -74.4 million as of 31 March 2012 to EUR -16.3 million as of 30 September 2012.
  • Net working capital was lowered following the payment received from the Polish toll collection system project, falling from EUR 285.7 million as of 31 March 2012 to EUR 198.8 million as of 30 September 2012.

Although the negative EBIT figure, the increase in inventories and the drop in trade liabilities and other current liabilities weighed down on the net cash flow from operating activities, this was increased from EUR -39.4 million in the same period the previous year to EUR 83.9 million. The main factor in this respect was the substantial fall in trade receivables and other assets. The cash flow from investing activities was shaped during the first six months of fiscal 2012/13 by ongoing replacement investments and the acquisition of an interest in SIMEX, Mexico. The repayment of current financial liabilities, chiefly from project financing, led to a negative net cash flow from financing activities amounting to EUR -53.9 million (2011/12 H1: EUR 48.6 million) with a positive impact on net debt.

Consequently, cash and cash equivalents rose from EUR 44.9 million as of 31 March 2012 to EUR 67.7 million as of 30 September 2012.

Major transactions with related parties.

During the first six months of the current fiscal year 2012/13 there were no transactions with related parties that could have a significant influence on the financial position or the results of operations. Details on transactions with related parties are outlined under note 13 to the condensed consolidated interim financial report as at 30 September 2012.

Acquisitions and legal changes.

On 31 July 2012, Kapsch TrafficCom acquired an interest of 33 % in SIMEX, Integración de Sistemas, S.A.P.I. de C.V., Mexico during an issue of new shares.

Risk reporting.

The company is exposed to general and industry-specific risks, such as the high volatility of revenues from projects and project implementation risks. A central risk management system has been established to identify these risks early.

The significance of foreign currency risks is increasing on account of the growing international focus of the group. A considerable portion of revenues and costs are denominated not in euros but in the currencies of the respective foreign companies, in particular, CZK, PLN, SEK, USD and ZAR. Although the group aims to hedge the net currency position of the individual contracts as required, currency fluctuations may result in exchange rate losses that appear on the consolidated financial statements (transaction risk). In addition, risks arise from the conversion of separate financial statements of international companies into the group currency, the euro (translation risk).

Outlook on the second half of the current fiscal year.

The current order book and the successes achieved will also be reflected in the earnings of the Kapsch TrafficCom Group in the second half of 2012/13. The major project in Belarus was launched in September as planned. In addition to this, the coming months will be marked by further developments in South Africa and the participation in tenders. Kapsch TrafficCom is currently working on a bid for a toll collection system tender in Hungary.

Events after 30 September 2012.

On 9 November 2012, Kapsch TrafficCom Russia, Moscow, Russia, sold its share of 33 % in the joint venture LLC United Toll Systems, Moscow, Russia.

10. Income taxes.

Income taxes relate to current taxes and to deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities. Applying the Austrian corporate tax rate of 25 % to the group's pre-tax result gives rise to the theoretical value for the tax expense/income. The effective tax expense/income differs from the above due to, among others, different tax regimes in the various countries, the treatment of tax losses, tax allowances and permanent differences.

In the first half of 2012/13, the effective tax rate is 15 % (first half of 2011/12: 29 %). For the full year 2012/13, management expects an effective tax rate of approximately 25 %.
