Letter from the Chief Executive Officer.

Georg Kapsch, Chief Executive Officer

Dear shareholders.

I am delighted to report about a successful first quarter of fiscal year 2010/11, in which the Kapsch TrafficCom Group almost doubled revenues compared to the previous fiscal year and returned to positive earnings. In the same period, the Group generated a positive free cash flow and increased the equity ratio considerably.

In the first quarter of fiscal year 2010/11 ended 30 June 2010, the Kapsch TrafficCom Group increased revenues by 92 % compared to the same period during the previous fiscal year to EUR 66.3 million (FY10-Q1: EUR 34.4 million). In contrast to the first quarter of the previous fiscal year, EBITDA at EUR 7.4 million (FY10-Q1: EUR -3.7 million) and EBIT at EUR 4.8 million (FY10-Q1: EUR -5.5 million) clearly turned back positive again. Earnings before tax improved to EUR 5.8 million (FY10-Q1: EUR -2.1 million) and earnings after tax also improved to EUR 4.5 million (FY10-Q1: EUR -1.5 million).

During the reporting period, the performance of the segment Services, System Extensions, Components Sales (SEC), which shows the recurring part of our business, was particularly strong, which also reflects the successful implementation of our strategy. We increased revenues in this segment from EUR 29.9 million in the first quarter of the previous fiscal year by 37 % to EUR 41.0 million in the first quarter of the current fiscal year. This success was in particular attributable to our constantly strong on-board units (OBUs) business. At approximately 0.75 million, the total volume of OBUs delivered in the first quarter of fiscal year 2010/11 increased by approximately 27 % compared with approximately 0.59 million units in the same period of the previous fiscal year. The EBIT in this segment was at EUR 7.3 million, up by 37 % from EUR 4.5 million during the same period of the previous fiscal year. The EBIT margin improved from 15.2 % in the first three months of the previous year to 17.9 % in the same period of the current fiscal year.

The segment Road Solution Projects (RSP), which includes the project business, clearly improved its performance in the first quarter of fiscal year 2010/11 compared to the same period during the previous fiscal year: At EUR 23.4 million, revenues significantly improved compared to the same period of the previous fiscal year at EUR 2.5 million. This improvement was in particular attributable to the partial realisation of projects in the Czech Republic and in South Africa. At EUR -2.6 million, EBIT was still negative in the first quarter of the current fiscal year but clearly improved compared to the same period during the previous fiscal year at EUR -9.9 million.

The Kapsch TrafficCom Group generated a positive free cash flow (EUR 3.2 million). The capital expenditure in assets was significantly reduced from EUR 4.2 million in the previous year to EUR 2.9 million in the current fiscal year. In the same period, we continued to enhance our capital structure. The Kapsch TrafficCom Group's equity ratio reached 55.4 % as of 30 June 2010 (30 June 2009: 43.2 %).

We also scored in the project business in the first quarter of fiscal year 2010/11. In April 2010, Kapsch TrafficCom was awarded a contract in Thailand to equip the Bang Na-Bangpakong Expressway in Bangkok – the longest girder bridge in the world – with a tolling system, with a total volume of EUR 7 million. In the United States, we made further progress: In May 2010, we introduced our tolling equipment at the ITS America Annual Meeting 2010 in Houston, Texas. The tolling equipment is based on the 5.9 GHz DSRC WAVE (wireless access in vehicular environment) technology platform.

The project business remains in an exciting cycle: Nationwide electronic truck tolling systems in France and in Poland are close to being awarded. Several other projects – among these the nationwide systems in Hungary, Slovenia and Denmark – are close to the final decision for a tender.

On 8 April 2010, Kapsch TrafficCom AG acquired 51.43 % of the shares of the South African TMT Services and Supplies (Proprietary) Limited (TMT) through a capital increase in the total amount of Rand 75 million (approximately EUR 8 million). Besides shareholdings in various subsidiaries, TMT is also a 35 % participant in the Electronic Toll Collection joint venture (ETC), in which Kapsch TrafficCom holds the remaining 65 %. All of the existing shareholders of TMT, which include the three founders of the company and Matemeku TMT (Proprietary) Limited, a black economic empowerment investor, will continue to be shareholders in TMT. The injection of new equity capital should place TMT in a strong market position to take advantage of existing and upcoming opportunities that are expected to become available in the South African market.

With the fiscal year 2010/11 in mind, we take an optimistic view on our markets in the long term. The fiscal year 2010/11 will be shaped by the realisation of the project in South Africa as well as the participation in tenders and by project awards in France, Poland, Hungary, Slovenia and Denmark.

With all best wishes

Georg Kapsch Chief Executive Officer

Analysis of results and balance sheet.

Revenues and earnings.

The revenues of the Kapsch TrafficCom Group were at EUR 66.3 million in the first quarter of the current fiscal year 2010/11 (FY11-Q1), up by 92 % from EUR 34.4 million recorded in the same period of the previous fiscal year (FY10-Q1). This positive trend was attributable to both of our major segments, the segment Road Solution Projects (RSP) and the segment Services, System Extensions, Components Sales (SEC).

Revenues by segment in the first three months were as follows:

  • The segment RSP (Road Solution Projects) recorded revenues of EUR 23.4 million in the first quarter of the current fiscal year after EUR 2.5 million in the same period of the previous fiscal year. The implementation of the Traffic Management System for the nationwide truck tolling system in the Czech Republic and the ongoing realisation of the electronic toll collection system in the province of Gauteng, South Africa, were the main drivers for this positive development.
  • In the segment SEC (Services, System Extensions and Components Sales) revenues increased by 37.2 % from EUR 29.9 million in the first quarter of the previous fiscal year to EUR 41.0 million in the first quarter of the current fiscal year. This favourable development was attributable to additional revenues from the nationwide truck tolling system in the Czech Republic, due to the extension of the weight limit from 12 tons to 3.5 tons, as well as to the change in consolidated entities by acquiring the majority in TMT Services and Supplies (Pty) Ltd., Cape Town, South Africa. Furthermore, the number of on-board units (OBUs) delivered could be increased by 27 % compared to the first quarter of the previous year.

■ The segment Others (OTH) recorded revenues of EUR 1.9 million (FY10-Q1: EUR 2.1 million), a decrease of 10.1 %.

In the first three months of the current fiscal year, Kapsch TrafficCom Group reported an operating result (EBIT) at EUR 4.8 million (FY10-Q1: EUR -5.5 million). Operating results (EBIT) by segment were as follows:

  • The segment RSP recorded an EBIT of EUR -2.6 million after EUR -9.9 million in the same period of the previous fiscal year.
  • The EBIT for the segment SEC was at EUR 7.3 million (FY10-Q1: EUR 4.5 million) showing an EBIT margin of 17.9 %, an increase of 2.7 % compared to the previous year (FY10-Q1: 15.2 %).
  • The segment OTH showed a slightly positive EBIT at EUR 0.1 million (FY10-Q1: EUR -0.2 million).

Kapsch TrafficCom recorded a financial result of EUR 1.0 million in the period under review (FYJ10-Q1: EUR 3.3 million), mainly influenced by currency exchange profits and losses.

Financial position and cash flows.

With total assets of EUR 316.5 million as of 30 June 2010 (31 March 2010: EUR 295.1 million) and at a total equity of EUR 175.4 million, Kapsch TrafficCom Group's equity ratio was at 55.4 % as of 30 June 2010 (31 March 2010: 57.0 %).

The major changes in assets were due to the increase in inventories in connection with the nationwide electronic truck tolling system in the Czech Republic and an increased stock of components. The higher trade receivables and other current assets were mainly attributable to receivables owed by customers for contract work in connection with the project in South Africa. The change in consolidated entities led to an increase in intangible assets.

On the liabilities side, short-term liabilities increased due to higher accruals for outstanding invoices.

The cash flow from operating activities reached EUR 6.1 million in the first three months of the current fiscal year compared to EUR 26.1 million in the same period of the previous fiscal year. This development resulted mainly from an increase in trade receivables and other current assets which could not be offset by the positive EBIT. The cash flow from investing activities resulted from the acquisitions of TMT Services and Supplies (Pty) Ltd., Cape Town, South Africa, and Kapsch Telematic Services Solutions A/S, Copenhagen, Denmark. The slight decrease in current financial liabilities in the first quarter of fiscal year 2010/11, compared to the same period of the previous financial year resulted in a higher cash position.

Cash and cash equivalents increased from EUR 47.7 million as of 31 March 2010 to EUR 49.6 million as of 30 June 2010.

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.

After the first quarter of FY11 the effective tax rate is approximately 23 % (first quarter of FY10: 28 %). For the full year FY11, management expects an effective tax rate of approximately 25 %.
