Letter from the Chief Executive Officer.

Georg Kapsch, Chief Executive Officer

Dear shareholders,

The first quarter of fiscal year 2012/13 was in retrospect an extremely heterogeneous period for the Kapsch TrafficCom Group. On one hand, recent developments with our projects resulted in revenues and results for the reporting period that did not live up to our expectations. On the other hand, the main balance sheet figures from the end of June, after completion of our major project in Poland, reflect a renewed strengthening of the balance sheet structure. The recently obtained new orders further embolden us in our growth strategy and in the assumption that we will increasingly implement integrated systems for various ITS applications even beyond the area of toll collection systems.

I would like begin by reporting on the group's current financial status. The revenue of the Kapsch TrafficCom Group for the first quarter of 2012/13 was EUR 106.4 million, which is 21 % below the value from the same period of the previous year. The main reason for this decline can be seen in the high contributions made in the previous year by our two large implementation projects in Poland and South Africa; the new projects begun since then were not able to compensate for this during the current reporting period. Another reason for the lower revenue was the number of on-board units sold. The contract negotiations with the 24 toll authorities of the E-ZPass Group for finalization of the ten-year agreement resulted in a slow start to the on-board unit sales, leaving them below the quantities expected over the reporting period. This factor, as well as the competitive pricing situation, which brought the margins in the U.S.A. down in line with typical global margins, was clearly reflected in the EBIT of the first quarter. The operating result for the first three months of the fiscal year is negative at EUR -5.6 million. Current developments in our projects in South Africa and Poland also contributed to this disappointing result. The lower revenue generally made it more difficult to fully cover all our costs.

In South Africa, the start of the electronic toll collection system for multi-lane free-flow traffic in the Gauteng province was delayed during the reporting period. Just two days before the final agreed deadline, the commissioning of the system was postponed indefinitely on 28 April 2012 due to a lawsuit. The lack of commissioning also meant the absence of associated revenue. After the government lodged an appeal against this decision on 23 May 2012, the first hearings were held on 15 August 2012.

Our toll project in Poland has now been in operation for one year. The acceptance of the nationwide electronic toll collection system viaTOLL took place on 21 February 2012, and payment for the last milestone of the system implementation was received in the first quarter of the current fiscal year. However, the operation of the system caused higher performance related costs in the first quarter. In the meantime, we were contracted to realize an extension of 320 km, and additional route sections should follow in 2013; this at least demonstrates the customer's satisfaction with the system.

Although we are dissatisfied with the results of the first quarter, the volatility of the results is inherent in the project business in which the Kapsch TrafficCom Group is engaged. For this reason, comparisons between individual quarters are only of limited value, and in measuring our success, we concern ourselves exclusively with the overall result for the year.

At the same time, we can once again look with satisfaction at an extremely solid balance sheet structure at the end of the quarter. The completion of the system implementation process in Poland and the associated payment led to clear improvements over the balance sheet conditions of 31 March 2012. The equity ratio of 49.6 % is near the 50-per-cent mark, and the liquid assets at the end of the quarter amounted to EUR 77.4 million. Despite the corporate bond due in 2017, our net worth is once again positive (net assets) rather than negative (net debt). The net working capital and the capital employed declined considerably relative to the 31 March 2012 reporting date, and it should not be overlooked that the Kapsch TrafficCom Group achieved an impressive free cash flow of EUR 74.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2012/13. Despite the short-term dip in profit, this situation convinces us not to reduce our investments in research and development or in new projects; instead, we will use our solid financial basis to ensure a strong future for the Kapsch TrafficCom Group.

We are particularly proud of the most recent success we achieved in Texas at the end of July. For the first time, Kapsch TrafficCom was selected as supplier for an entire system within the hard-fought market in the U.S.A. On two highways in northern Texas, we will implement what is called a "managed lane" system, which encompasses a toll collection system, an intelligent transportation system and a network communication system. It will be one of the newest and most modern transportation systems in North America.

The major project in Belarus, where we were commissioned with the construction and subsequent operation of a nationwide electronic toll collection system for 20 years, will start in autumn, and the associated revenues will be reflected on the balance sheet as of the second half of this fiscal year. In addition, we are expecting decisions on other potential projects during the course of the current fiscal year. In order to continue our planned growth with regard to new projects and new markets, we are also working intensively on implementation of the 2016 strategy and the new company structure this entails.

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. The share price development was characterized by continued high volatility in the first quarter of the fiscal year. Starting from a closing price of EUR 63.50 on 31 March 2012 at the end of the previous fiscal year, the shares initially rose to EUR 67.50 but then fell again to EUR 58.89 by the end of the quarter on 30 June. While the Kapsch TrafficCom shares fared significantly better than the ATX during the previous year, the 7 % decline during the reporting quarter corresponds to the broader stock market development, even at the international level.

In connection with the capital increase on 27 July 2011, the number of shares has since increased from 12.2 million to 13 million. The free float (including the shares of Erwin Toplak, COO) is 38.1 %. KAPSCH-Group Beteiligungs GmbH holds 61.9 % of the shares. Based on the final share price of EUR 58.89, Kapsch TrafficCom had a market capitalization of EUR 765.6 million on 30 June 2012.

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

Analysis of results and balance sheet.

Revenues and earnings.

The revenues of the Kapsch TrafficCom Group were at EUR 106.4 million in the first quarter of the current fiscal year 2012/13 (2012/13 Q1), representing a decrease of 21.1 % from EUR 134.7 million, the value for the same period of the previous fiscal year (2011/12 Q1). In both major segments, Road Solution Projects (RSP) and Services, System Extensions, Components Sales (SEC), decreased revenues were registered.

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

  • The segment RSP (Road Solution Projects) recorded revenues of EUR 34.9 million after EUR 54.8 million in the same period of the previous fiscal year, a decline of 36.3 %. The main drivers for this decrease were the finalization of the construction for the nationwide truck toll collection system in Poland in the previous year and the lower revenue contribution of the South African electronic toll collection system project in the Gauteng province, which is at its final stage of completion. The decline could not be compensated for in the first quarter of 2012/13 by the initiated projects in Belarus and France as well as the extensions in Poland.
  • In the segment SEC (Services, System Extensions and Components Sales), revenues decreased by 13.8 % from EUR 78.5 million in quarter one of the previous fiscal year to EUR 67.7 million this year. The order obtained last year based on a very competitively priced offer and the ongoing negotiations with the members of the E-ZPass Group led to a delay in both on-board units sold and revenues. The suspended start of the operations project in South Africa also affected revenues negatively. However, the technical and commercial operation of the truck toll collection system in Poland contributed significant revenues in this quarter, while in the same period of the previous year the implementation was not yet complete. Both the ongoing technical and commercial operation of the nationwide truck toll collection system in the Czech Republic and the ongoing technical operation, including maintenance, of the nationwide truck toll collection system in Austria recorded a steady revenue contribution, as in the previous year.

The number of on-board units sold amounted to 1.69 million units (2011/12 Q1: 2.77 million units). In contrast to quarter one of the previous fiscal year, no initial equipment sales took place in connection with nationwide tolling projects. The main reasons for the lower volume of units sold were that the delivery of equipment for the nationwide truck toll collection system in Poland already took place in the previous year and the start of the South African Gauteng project was suspended by the customer. Furthermore, the ongoing negotiations with members of the E-ZPass Group led to a delay in delivery.

■ The segment Others (OTH) recorded revenues of EUR 3.8 million (2011/12 Q1: EUR 1.4 million), representing an increase of 166.3 %. This rise was due to the production and supply for the GSM-R project of Kapsch CarrierCom.

In the first three months of the current fiscal year, the Kapsch TrafficCom Group reported an operating result (EBIT) of EUR -5.6 million (2011/12 Q1: EUR 22.2 million). Operating results by segment were as follows:

  • The segment RSP recorded an EBIT of EUR -7.2 million (2011/12 Q1: EUR 3.5 million). Due to lower revenues compared with the same period of previous fiscal year, the periodic costs allocated to this segment could not be covered.
  • The EBIT for the segment SEC was at EUR 1.6 million (2011/12 Q1: EUR 18.5 million). The decrease was due to the decline in total revenues, the delay of orders from the E-ZPass Group and the competitive pricing agreement, which brought the margins in the U.S.A. down in line with typical global margins, the performance related higher operation costs in Poland as well as the lack of profit contribution from the South African operations project.

■ The segment OTH exhibited an EBIT of EUR 0.1 million (2011/12 Q1: EUR 0.2 million). The above-average EBIT margin of the previous fiscal year's period was due to a nonrecurring absorption of costs for the adaption of the production for GSM-R products.

The financial result of Kapsch TrafficCom improved to EUR -0.3 million in the period under consideration (2011/12 Q1: EUR -3.2 million). Finance income increased due to higher, mainly unrealized, exchange rate gains. Finance costs decreased as a result of lower unrealized exchange rate losses and a decline in interest and similar expenses.

Financial position and cash flows.

As of 30 June 2012, total assets decreased to EUR 499.0 million compared to EUR 557.7 million as of 31 March 2012. Total equity declined slightly to EUR 247.4 million on 30 June 2012 (31 March 2012: EUR 256.2 million). Due to these two effects, the Kapsch TrafficCom Group's equity ratio improved from 45.9 % as of 31 March 2012 to 49.6 % as of 30 June 2012.

The largest change in assets derived from the current assets. Trade receivables went down from EUR 287.6 million to EUR 194.7 million, mainly due to the receipt of payment for the finalization of the Polish nationwide electronic truck tolling project.

On the liabilities side, the current financial liabilities decreased from EUR 53.2 million to EUR 11.4 million due to repayment of the loan for the nationwide truck toll collection project in Poland. Moreover, other liabilities and deferred income were reduced from EUR 53.0 million to EUR 42.1 million, which was also a result of the finalization of the Polish project.

These financial changes resulted in a significant improvement of the following ratios:

  • The free cash flow improved from EUR -9.0 million to EUR 74.6 million compared to the same period of the previous year.
  • Despite the corporate bond due in 2017 amounting to EUR 75.0 million, the Kapsch TrafficCom Group achieved net assets of EUR 0.2 million.
  • Net working capital decreased from EUR 285.7 million as of 31 March 2012 to EUR 199.1 million as of 30 June 2012 due to the receipt of payment from the Polish project.

Although the net cash flow from operations was encumbered by the negative operating result and the decrease of trade payables and other current payables, an improvement from EUR -5.8 million to EUR 77.0 million compared to the same period of the previous year was registered. This was due primarily to the significantly lower trade receivables and other assets. In the first three months of the current fiscal year, reinvestments made up the greater part of the net cash flow from investing activities. The repayment of short term financial liabilities, mainly for project financing, led to a negative net cash flow from financing activities of EUR -41.8 million (2011/12 Q1: EUR 35.7 million), which had a positive effect on net assets.

It was therefore possible to increase the cash and cash equivalents from EUR 44.9 million as of 31 March 2012 to EUR 77.4 million as of 30 June 2012.

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 2012/13, the effective tax rate is 25 % (first quarter of 2011/12: 27 %). For the full year 2012/13, management expects an effective tax rate of approximately 25 %.
