KTT = the global transportation division acquired from Schneider Electric as of April 1, 2016
A stronger operational business as well as the initial consolidation of KTT led to a jump in revenues, as compared to the Q1-Q3 of 2015/16, to EUR 483.8 million (a plus of 28%).
Despite the negative EBIT contribution from KTT, expenses relating to its integration and the ongoing losses incurred by Streetline, EBIT amounted to EUR 43.0 million, virtually unchanged as compared to the equivalent period of the previous year (-1%).
The profit for the period rose by 16% to EUR 29.4 million. Lower exchange rate losses resulted in a better financial result in Q1-Q3 2016/17 than had been the case in the previous year (EUR 1.5 million as compared to EUR -9.7 million).
The profit per share amounted to EUR 2.31 (+41%), which was largely attributable to the lower value of the "non-controlling interests".
The increase in net investments to EUR 14.5 million was mainly a result of the acquisition and integration of KTT.
Free cash flow was again positive (EUR 38.7 million); however, this was significantly lower than the figure for Q1-Q3 2015/16 (EUR 74.8 million). The main reason was the development of the working capital. Also the higher net investments had a negative impact.
Kapsch TrafficCom | 4
The assumption of a promissory note bond (increase in balance sheet total), acquisitions (effect in equity) and the dividend payment resulted in a reduction of the
equity ratio to 34%.
KTT revenues: EUR 80.7 million EBIT: EUR -1.7 million.
In the first nine months of fiscal year 2016/17, Kapsch TrafficCom succeeded in increasing its revenues by 28% to EUR 483.8 million. The operating result (EBIT), at EUR 43.0 million, fell just short of the previous year's level (EUR 43.3 million), with the EBIT margin in the first three quarters of the year thus amounting to 8.9%. The profit for the period increased by 16% to EUR 29.4 million, and the amount attributable to equity holders by no less than 41% to EUR 30.1 million.
One of our main focal points in the current fiscal year is the integration of KTT (Kapsch TrafficCom Transportation), the global transportation division of Schneider Electric acquired on April 1, 2016. KTT generated EUR 80.7 million in revenues in the first nine months of the year, while realizing EBIT in a low negative amount of EUR -1.7 million (ETC: EUR -1.0 million and IMS: EUR -0.7 million). This amount comprises a positive onetime effect in the amount of EUR 3 million due to the purchase price for KTT being lower than the value of the acquired net assets (on the basis of a preliminary purchase price allocation) – even despite the payment of a contingent purchase price adjustment of EUR 5 million in December 2016.
It is currently anticipated that the integration process will largely be completed over the course of this fiscal year. However, we will likely also experience a number of follow-on effects next year. In any case, we should then start to see the synergies resulting from the acquisition being reflected in our results. In the current fiscal year though, KTT's results and the costs relating to its integration will have an adverse effect on the profitability of the Kapsch TrafficCom Group. Focus on integration of KTT.
In the third quarter of the fiscal year, we acquired 75.5% of the Austrian company Fluidtime Data Services, a small but innovative enterprise which has been developing and operating software solutions and user-friendly mobile services for intermodal travel (i.e. getting from A to B using various means of transportation) in the urban context since 2004. Fluidtime's mobility platform provides passengers with real-time information on possible means of transportation and multimodal alternative routes, with integrated booking and payment services being a further option. Fluidtime is therefore an outstanding new addition to our IMS portfolio.
We achieved a number of highly successful outcomes in the sales context in the first nine months of the current fiscal year. In the Czech Republic, our contract for the operation of the nationwide toll collection system for road haulage was extended by up to a further three years. In Austria, we were awarded the contract for the installation and technical operation of the nationwide toll collection system for vehicles weighing 3.5 or more tons. The technical operation services will be performed over a period of ten years following the acceptance of the delivery of the new system, with an option of extending the contract by five periods of one year.
This year, we also secured two further projects in the state of Queensland, Australia. The first of these comprises both the delivery and operation of the toll collection system for a bypass, with the corresponding contract having been concluded for a ten-year term. The other project involves the replacement of an outdated toll collection system with the most modern Kapsch technology.
North America: the most important growth market.
In the US, we have been contracted to undertake the modernization of the integrated transportation management system of the Highway Operations Center of the Massachusetts Department of Transportation over a four-year period. In addition, we have been awarded a contract for the renewal of the toll collection system for all the bridges and tunnels of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey (PANYNJ). Following the completion of this project, which is scheduled for the end of our fiscal year 2020/21, Kapsch TrafficCom will undertake the ongoing maintenance work on the new toll collection system over a period of six years – with the option of extending this contract for up to a further six years. North America certainly represents the most important growth market for the Kapsch TrafficCom Group, and we expect to acquire a growing number of smaller contracts as well as several larger projects in this region.
At our Shareholders' Meeting held in September 2016, the mandates of three members of the Supervisory Board up for re-election, including its Chairman, were extended. In addition, a resolution was adopted in favor of the distribution of a dividend in the amount of EUR 1.50 per share. Resolutions of the Shareholders' Meeting.
In spite of this distribution in the amount of EUR 19.5 million, as well as payments made in connection with Net credit: EUR 17.6 million.
Kapsch TrafficCom had net credit in the amount of EUR 17.6 million at its disposal as of December 31, 2016.
The equity ratio of 34.4% as of the end of the third quarter was significantly lower than that as of March 31, 2016 (44.9%). This was primarily attributable, on the one hand, to reduced equity as a result of: Temporary effect on equity ratio.
and, on the other hand, the effect, in terms of increasing the balance sheet total, of the issuance of a promissory note bond ("Schuldscheindarlehen") in the amount of EUR 62.0 million and USD 14.5 million for the purposes of refinancing the bond falling due in November 2017. The redemption of this bond in the next fiscal year will have a positive effect of the equity ratio of Kapsch TrafficCom.
In the final weeks of the current fiscal year, we will continue to work towards the implementation of our growth strategy. 2017 marks the 125th anniversary of the formation of the Kapsch Group, and we are very much aware of our obligation to continue to take a sustainable and long-term approach to the running of our business as we look towards the future. We believe ourselves to be a reliable and enduring business partner.
Sincerely,
Georg Kapsch Chief Executive Officer

Update.
At the ordinary Shareholders' Meeting held on September 7, 2016, Dr. Franz Semmernegg, Dr. Kari Kapsch and Dr. Harald Sommerer were re-elected to the Supervisory Board. Their terms of office will expire upon the end of the Shareholders' Meeting resolving upon the formal approval of the actions of the Supervisory Board with regard to the fiscal year 2018/19. Each of these individuals has issued a declaration in accordance with Section 87(2) of the Austrian Stock Corporation Act (Aktiengesetz – AktG).
At the subsequent meeting of the Supervisory Board, Dr. Franz Semmernegg was re-elected Chairman, and Dr. Kari Kapsch Vice Chairman, of the Supervisory Board. Dr. Franz Semmernegg and Dr. Harald Sommerer were re-elected to the Audit Committee and the Committee for Executive Board Matters. Mr Christian Windisch (Ing.) was once more delegated to the Audit Committee by the Works Council.
The Supervisory Board of Kapsch TrafficCom AG is thus composed of the following members:

1) delegated by the Works Council.
Auditor re-elected.
The Shareholders' Meeting once more appointed PwC Wirtschaftsprüfung GmbH, Wirtschaftsprüfungs- und Steuerberatungsgesellschaft, Vienna, as auditor of the financial statements and the consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year 2016/17.
Since the coming into force of Article 19 of Regulation (EU) No 596/2014 (the "Market Abuse Regulation" – MAR), transactions previously referred to as "directors' dealings" are now referred to as "managers' transactions".
In the first three quarters of the fiscal year 2016/17 two such transactions occurred with shares of Kapsch TrafficCom AG: KAPSCH-Group Beteiligungs GmbH acquired
As a result, KAPSCH-Group Beteiligungs GmbH now holds a total of 8,227,831 shares (63.3%) in that company.
In the first three quarters of the current fiscal year 2016/17, the revenues of Kapsch TrafficCom Group amounted to EUR 483.8 million and as such were 27.6% higher than in the equivalent period of the previous year (Q1-Q3 2015/16: EUR 379.2 million). Fortunately, both the Electronic Toll Collection (ETC) and the Intelligent Mobility Solutions (IMS) segments recorded an increase in revenues. The major driver of this growth was the first-time consolidation of Kapsch TrafficCom Transportation (KTT), the global transportation division of Schneider Electric acquired on April 1, 2016. KTT contributed revenues in the amount of EUR 80.7 million (ETC: EUR 17.8 million; IMS: EUR 62.9 million).
The EMEA region (Europe, the Middle East and Africa) generated 65.5% of the overall revenues. The Americas region (North America and Latin America) experienced growth primarily as a result of the acquisition of the KTT business, generating 27.1% of the Group's revenues. The APAC region (Asia-Pacific) contributed 7.0% towards the overall total.
The operating result (EBIT), at EUR 43.0 million, was virtually unchanged as compared to the previous year (Q1-Q3 2015/16: EUR 43.3 million) commensurate with an EBIT margin of 8.9% (Q1-Q3 2015/16: 11.4%). The fall in the margin was primarily due to the strong contribution made by KTT towards overall revenues while still generating EBIT in a low negative amount (EUR -1.7 million) in the first three quarters. Integration expenses in relation to this company acquired at the beginning of the fiscal year also had an adverse impact on the overall result. A onetime effect ("bad will") had a positive effect in the amount of EUR 3.0 million (the difference between the purchase price for KTT and the value of the acquired net assets, on the basis of a preliminary purchase price allocation). The persistently negative results of the smart parking subsidiary, Streetline Inc., USA, also had an adverse impact on the Group's results.
The financial result improved somewhat in the first three quarters of the current fiscal year, from EUR -9.1 million to EUR 1.5 million. The primary reason for this development was a fall in the exchange rate losses in the amount of EUR -12.9 million. The finance income, at EUR 8.1 million, was slightly lower than the figure for the equivalent period of the previous year (Q1-Q3 2015/16: EUR 9.4 million).
The profit for the period increased by 16.3% as compared to the equivalent period of the previous year. As a result of the acquisition of the remaining, non-controlling 48% interest in the Czech company Kapsch Telematic Services spol. s r.o., the profit for the period attributable to equity holders rose significantly to EUR 30.1 million (Q1-Q3 2015/16: EUR 21.3 million), which corresponds to a profit per share in the amount of EUR 2.31 (Q1-Q3 2015/16: EUR 1.64).
The segments' performance in the first three quarters was as follows:
The largest share of the revenues (EUR 244.4 million) was once more attributable to the EMEA region (Europe, the Middle East and Africa), specifically the nationwide toll collection projects in the Czech Republic, Poland, Belarus and Austria. The scheduled replacement of the IT structure in South Africa resulted in a considerable rise in the revenues generated there. The performance of the newly acquired tolltickets GmbH, Germany, also had a positive impact on revenues. The volume of design & build projects was lower than in the equivalent period of the previous year due to the slower progress, in line with expectations, of the expansion of the existing systems in Belarus and Poland. Components-related revenues in the EMEA region were very slightly higher than the high level achieved in the previous year, by virtue of the successful offsetting of lower sales of on-board units in France, the Czech Republic, Spain and Russia.
Revenues in the Americas region (North America and Latin America) increased over the first three quarters of the fiscal year to EUR 84.9 million (Q1-Q3 2015/16: EUR 59.1 million), with this positive development primarily being attributable to the US projects acquired in conjunction with KTT.
New design & bulid projects resulted in an increase in revenues in the APAC region (EUR +3.3 million); these included the contract awarded to Kapsch TrafficCom for the renewal of the existing toll collection system for the Sydney Harbor Bridge and the Sydney Harbor.
The number of on-board units sold in the first three quarters of the fiscal year amounted to 8.4 million (Q1-Q3 2015/16: 6.7 million units). Increases were recorded above all in the US, Russia, Australia and Spain, while the sales figures for Thailand and Mexico fell as compared to the equivalent period of the previous year. Components-related revenues fell slightly as compared to the first three quarters of the previous year (-1%), due to the lower average price for on-board units, particularly in the US.
The breakdown of the revenues generated by this segment according to business type is as follows:
| in EUR Mio. | Q1-Q3 2016/17 |
Q1-Q3 2015/16 |
+/- |
|---|---|---|---|
| Revenues | 358.9 | 316.6 | 13.4% |
| Design & Build | 70.2 | 61.9 | 13.4% |
| Operations | 215.2 | 180.5 | 19.2% |
| Components | 73.5 | 74.3 | -1.0% |
| EBIT | 54.8 | 46.4 | 18.2% |
The EBIT for the ETC segment amounted to EUR 54.8 million, which represents a rise of 18.2% as compared to the equivalent period of the previous year. This improvement in the result was largely due to the positive developments regarding the operation projects in the EMEA region in particular. Although KTT contribution towards EBIT remains a negative one, the provisional badwill in the amount of EUR 0.9 million arising in connection with this acquisition had a positive effect.
APAC 3%
EMEA 60%
The revenues generated by the IMS segment increased significantly to EUR 125.0 million (+99.4%). The strongest growth was recorded in the EMEA region (EUR +39.2 million), with KTT, acquired at the beginning of the fiscal year, contributing greatly towards this result. The rise in revenues in the Americas region (EUR +20.1 million) was also primarily due to KTT projects in the US (EUR +14.4 million). The APAC region recorded slight growth in revenues (EUR +3.0 million).
The breakdown of the revenues generated by this segment according to business type is as follows:
| in EUR Mio. | Q1-Q3 2016/17 |
Q1-Q3 2015/16 |
+/- |
|---|---|---|---|
| Revenues | 125.0 | 62.7 | 99.4% |
| Design & Build | 48.5 | 27.6 | 75.7% |
| Operations | 67.2 | 23.8 | 182.0% |
| Components | 9.3 | 11.3 | -17.2% |
| EBIT | -11.8 | -3.1 | -281.4% |
The EBIT of the IMS segment amounted to EUR -11.8 million, considerably lower than the figure for the equivalent period of the previous year (Q1-Q3 2015/16: EUR -3.1 million). The integration of KTT, the negative results of Streetline Inc., USA, and the lower contributions of the North American operation projects adversely impacted the profitability of the Kapsch TrafficCom Group in this segment. The provisional bad will arising from the KTT acquisition had a positive effect on the segment in the amount of EUR 2.1 million. IMS-EBIT: EUR -11.8 million.
The total assets of the Kapsch TrafficCom Group increased to EUR 628.2 million as of the cutoff date, December 31, 2016 (March 31, 2016: EUR 513.7 million).
The greatest change on the assets side of the balance sheet related to the item "Trade receivables and other current assets", which increased by EUR 53.6 million to EUR 249.7 million in the period from March 31, 2016 onwards. This increase was primarily due to the assumption of outstanding receivables in the context of the KTT acquisition, which amounted to EUR 70.0 million as of December 31, 2016. In contrast, the receivables from the project in Belarus decreased by EUR 20.3 million.
Cash and cash equivalents also increased significantly by EUR 47.5 million to EUR 188.3 million as of December 31, 2016, largely as a result of the issuance of the promissory note bond ("Schuldscheindarlehen").
On the liabilities side of the balance sheet, financial liabilities underwent the most significant change: Due to the fact that the residual term of the corporate bond was less than one year (ending in November 2017), this was reallocated from the "Non-current financial liabilities" to the "Current financial liabilities", with the latter increasing by EUR 71.1 million as a result. The item "Non-current financial liabilities" now essentially comprising the promissory note bond placed in the first quarter of the current fiscal year (EUR 75.6 million).
Since March 31, 2016, "Trade payables" have increased by EUR 24.0 million and "Other liabilities and deferrals" by EUR 22.9 million, with both of these developments primarily being attributable to the KTT acquisition (representing an accrual of EUR 16.9 million and EUR 28.8 million, respectively).
Equity amounted to EUR 216.0 million, and as such was EUR 14.7 million lower than at the end of the previous fiscal year. The equity ratio also fell from 44.9% to 34.4% over this period. This development is primarily attributable, on the one hand, to reduced equity as a result of:
the disbursement of the dividend in the total amount of EUR 19.5 million (EUR 1.50 per share) and
the acquisition of the remaining 48% of the shares in Kapsch Telematic Services, spol. s r.o., Czech Republic; the purchase price in the amount of up to EUR 21.8 million comprises a fixed component in the amount of EUR 14.0 million (already paid), and a variable, results-based component in the amount of EUR 7.8 million, to be paid in installments by 2020,
and, on the other hand, an increase in balance sheet total as a result of the issuance of a promissory note bond in the amount of EUR 62.0 million and USD 14.5 million for the purposes of refinancing the bond falling due in November 2017. On the one hand, the issuance of the promissory note bond has resulted in an increase in "Cash and cash equivalents" on the assets side of the balance sheet and, on the other hand, in an increase in "Non-current financial liabilities" on the liability side of the balance sheet.
Despite the dividend payment and various acquisitions, the balance sheet evidenced net credit in the amount of EUR 17.6 million.
The net working capital rose from EUR 83.6 million as of March 31, 2016 to EUR 219.3 million as of December 31, 2016.
"Net cash flow from operating activities" in the reporting period amounted to EUR 53.2 million, with this positive development largely being due to the favorable results (EUR 43.0 million), the decrease in "Non-current trade receivables" (EUR 10.4 million) and the increase in "Trade payables" and other current liabilities (EUR 13.4 million), despite a countervailing effect as a result of net income tax payments (EUR -14.6 million).
Net cash flow from investing activities amounted to EUR -39.6 million in the first three quarters of 2016/17, EUR -21.6 million of which (net, after deduction of the cash and cash equivalents of the acquired companies) related to the acquisition of KTT (see Note 17). In addition, EUR -2.5 million were attributable to the stake in Park Jockey Global, Inc., USA, EUR -0.3 million (net) to the acquisition of a 65% interest in tolltickets GmbH, Germany, and EUR -0.6 million (net) to the acquisition of a 75.5% interest in FLUIDTIME Data Services GmbH, Austria. "Net cash flow from investing activities" in the equivalent period of the previous year had been in a positive amount of EUR 2.8 million, primarily due to the sale of securities and an inflow of cash and cash equivalents from the acquisition of the shares of Streetline, Inc., USA. As a result of the acquisition and integration of KTT, "Net investments in property, plant and equipment and intangible assets", at EUR -14.5 million, were significantly higher than in the equivalent period of the previous year (EUR -6.9 million).
Free cash flow (cash flow from operating activities minus net investments) was again positive (EUR 38.7 million); however, this was significantly lower than the figure for the equivalent period of the previous year (EUR 74.8 million). The main reason was the development of the receivables and the higher increase in payables. Also the aforementioned investments had a negative impact on the free cash flow.
"Net cash flow from financing activities" amounted to EUR 30.7 million as of December 31, 2016. The funds generated through the issuance of the promissory note bond caused the recorded amount of the "Increase in non-current financial liabilities" to rise by EUR 78.6 million, with countervailing developments largely comprising a reduction in "Current financial liabilities" (EUR -17.2 million), the payment of the dividend (EUR -19.5 million) and the payment of a purchase price component for the remaining shares in the Czech company Kapsch Telematic Services (EUR -14.0 million).
"Cash and cash equivalents" amounted to EUR 188.3 million as of December 31, 2016 (March 31, 2016: EUR 140.8 million).
No material events occurred after December 31, 2016.

The effects from the acquisition of shares in subsidiaries in the first three quarters of the fiscal year 2016/17 result from the acquisition of the remaining 48% shares in Kapsch Telematic Services spol. s r.o., Czech Republic – an amount of TEUR 14,000 has already been paid – as well as from the acquisition of tolltickets GmbH, Germany, and FLUIDTIME Data Services GmbH, Vienna.
The notes on the following pages form an integral part of this interim financial information.
Kapsch TrafficCom Group is a global supplier of superior Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS).
The Group operates in 2 segments:
The ETC segment comprises activities relating to the installation and the technical and commercial operation of toll collection systems. Projects are generally awarded by public agencies or private concessionaires in the context of tender procedures. Toll collection systems may comprise both individual road sections and nationwide road networks. The manufacture and procurement of components both for the expansion and adaptation of the systems installed by Kapsch TrafficCom and on behalf of third parties complete the portfolio of ETC services offered by Kapsch TrafficCom Group.
The IMS segment comprises activities relating to the installation and the technical and commercial operation of systems for traffic monitoring, traffic control and traffic safety. Projects for the monitoring of utility vehicles and for electronic vehicle registration, as well as intelligent parking solutions and systems for intermodal mobility (networked modes of transport), are also allocated to this segment, as are systems and services for operational surveillance of public transportation and environmental installations. Components-related business also rounds off the range of IMS services offered by Kapsch TrafficCom Group.
This condensed interim financial information for the first three quarters of the current fiscal year 2016/17 ended December 31, 2016 has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 "Interim financial reporting". The interim condensed financial report should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statemtents for the year ended March 31, 2016.
For ease of presentation, amounts have been rounded and, unless indicated otherwise, are presented in thousand euro (TEUR). However, calculations are done using exact amounts, including the digits not shown, which may lead to rounding differences.
The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the annual financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2016, as described in the annual financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2016.
In the condensed interim financial information for the first three quarters of the current fiscal year 2016/17 the following new or amended IFRS and IFRIC have been adopted:
| New/adopted IFRS | Applicable to financial years beginning on or after |
|
|---|---|---|

Adoption of the new/amended standards did not result in any significant effects on the condensed consolidated interim financial information.
In the context of its preparation of the report on the first three quarters of the year, the Group has made discretionary decisions, estimates and assumptions in relation to the application of accounting methods and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The actual results may differ from these estimates. All estimates and judgments are continually re-evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations as to future events which are believed to be reasonable under the given circumstances.
The estimates made by the Management are in line with those adopted in the consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2016 and described therein.
The Group bases its fair value measurement of assets and liabilities on observable market data to the greatest extent possible. The fair value can be assigned to one of various levels within a fair value hierarchy using a number of evaluation techniques. Further information on the fair value measurement of assets and liabilities can be found in note 10.
The financial risks to which Kapsch TrafficCom Group is exposed are generally consistent with those of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2016 and are described therein.

On December 3, 2015, together with a partner, the Group founded the Russian company LLC National operator of telematics services and holds an interest of 49%. The company is classified as an associated company. Therefore the investment is accounted for using the equity method. As of December 31, 2016, the book value of the interest amounts to TEUR 0 (December 31, 2015: n/a).
On July 31, 2012, the Group acquired 33% of the shares in SIMEX, Integración de Sistemas, S.A.P.I. de C.V., Mexico.

Financial assets and liabilities have to be classified in one of the three following fair value-hierarchies:
Level 1: There are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. In the Group, the investment in Q-Free ASA, Norway, as well as listed equity instruments are attributed to Level 1.
Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined by using valuation techniques based on observable direct or indirect market data. This category comprises available-for-sale securities, such as mortgage bonds and government bonds, which are quoted, however not regularly traded on a stock market.
Specific valuation techniques used to value financial instruments include:
Level 3: Financial instruments are included in Level 3 if the valuation information is not based on observable market data.
The classification of current and non-current financial assets is as follows:

This item primarily comprises legal and contractual claims for the payment of one-off termination benefits on the part of employees in Austria or their dependents, with such claims arising, in particular, upon the termination by the employer of an employee's employment, an amicable termination of an employee's employment, or the retirement or death of an employee. Where any such obligations to make such termination payments exist, the Group will bear the risk of inflation associated with salary adjustments resulting in larger amounts of such termination benefits. In the case of employees having entered the employ of Kapsch TrafficCom in Austria after December 31, 2002, contributions are made into an external employee pension fund on a monthly basis, with the result that the Group will not generally be subject to any obligations to make termination payments with regard to such employees.
The reported pension obligations relate solely to retired employees. All pension arrangements are based on the final salary, take the form of monthly pension benefits and are not covered by any external plan assets (funds). Furthermore, contributions are paid into an external pension fund by way of voluntary social benefits on behalf of active employees of the Group. The Group bears the risk of longevity and rising pensions in this connection.

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.

Most of the contingent liabilities of the Kapsch TrafficCom Group result from largescale projects, with the remainder relating to both performance guarantees and warranty obligations, sureties and performance bonds issued by the Kapsch TrafficCom Group, as well as guarantees and bid bonds issued by third parties (usually banks or loan insurance companies). Where contractual obligations are not complied with, there will be a risk of corresponding claims being brought by the customer in question, and the bank or insurance company will have a right of recourse against the Group in such a case.
The contingent and other liabilities have been adjusted in line with standard industry practice and solely comprise obligations owed to third parties as follows:
