This interim report demonstrates that the Kapsch TrafficCom Group was able to successfully continue its growth of the past years during the first three quarters of the fiscal year 2011/12. Our new and existing projects as well as our acquisition of the Canadian and American Mark IV IVHS companies in November 2010 enabled a significant increase in our revenues and EBIT. In the past three quarters, we have exceeded the total annual sales of the previous year and achieved successes on many levels that support our future and continued growth.
At the start of the third quarter, we reached a basic agreement with Asfinag Mautservice GmbH regarding the extension of the current operation and maintenance contract for the nationwide electronic truck tolling system in Austria through the end of the year 2018. At the end of December, we were also awarded the contract for maintenance and toll-based operation of a section of the Don highway M-4 in Russia as part of a joint venture with Mostotrest, the largest Russian infrastructure and bridge building company. In addition to a toll collection system, we will install a traffic information and management system to enhance the traffic safety and control. The operation agreement has a term of ten years plus an extension option for an additional three years. In addition to the expected effects on revenue and profits, we also see this as a first, important step into the Russian market.
In the first three quarters of 2011/12, the Kapsch TrafficCom Group achieved revenues totaling EUR 408.2 million, representing an increase of 58 % over the same period of the previous year. At EUR 37.4 million, the EBIT for the past nine months exceeds the previous year's value by 61 %, raising the EBIT margin slightly to 9.2 %. Our project business in the segment Road Solution Projects (RSP) also exhibited a clear improvement, as did the segment Services, System Extensions, Components Sales (SEC). This growth is also reflected in the all-time high of 8.0 million on-board units delivered during the past nine months, far surpassing the 2.9 million units delivered in the same period of the previous year.
Despite these outstanding developments and the continued project outlook, we were not satisfied with the third quarter. Delays in the ongoing projects in Poland and South Africa meant that we already posted the costs but not yet the full corresponding revenue from the operation of the systems. As a result of this as well as due to negative currency exchange effects not yet realized, the EBIT was negative in the third quarter at EUR -2.7 million.
In our major project in Poland, completion of the acceptance process for the nationwide electronic toll collection system is not expected until the fourth quarter of our fiscal year, significantly later than we anticipated even at the end of the second quarter. Despite the extremely short implementation time, the system was put into operation on 3 July 2011, just two days later than planned, and completed in stages by the end of December. Since then, we have been paying the ongoing costs for the operation of the system but have received only reduced operating performance. Payment of the still outstanding receivables has also been delayed because the system acceptance is a prerequisite for these payments.
In South Africa, we have been working toward commissioning of the toll collection system for multi-lane free-flow traffic in the Gauteng province on 15 February 2012, and have begun the mobilization phase for operation. As a result of new rate discussions with the government, however, our customer was forced to postpone the system start again during the third quarter to 30 April 2012.
Our market expansion in the U.S.A. continues. After Kapsch TrafficCom IVHS was selected in July 2011 by the E-Z Pass® Group as supplier for the new ten-year technology and service contract, we have since been working with the 24 toll authorities to finalize the contracts. We are also participating in additional tenders in the U.S.A.
In October 2011, we began work in Portugal on the installation of an electronic toll collection system for multi-lane free-flow traffic over a 100 km stretch, which should be completed in stages by October 2013.
It is expected that our offer for the tender regarding a nationwide electronic truck toll collection system in Slovenia can be submitted in March following a postponement. We currently anticipate a decision on this tender to be made in the first half of 2012. Additional tenders for nationwide toll collection systems are currently in planning in Hungary and Denmark.
In terms of projects, the fourth quarter of our current fiscal year is characterized by the acceptance of the Polish toll collection system, the continued developments in South Africa as well as other existing and potential projects. For some time, we have been engaged in talks regarding another major order on which a decision should be made in the coming days. We are also currently intensely involved in the further development of the Kapsch TrafficCom Group. Our strong growth in recent years and the planned continuation of this growth require us to adapt our organizational structures. In recent months, we have defined our strategy for the coming five years, up to 2016, and are now beginning its implementation. On one hand, our goal is to adapt our organization to the growth we are experiencing in order to increase our efficiency; on the other, we see additional growth prospects in the expansion of our fields of business. On the basis of our strategic plans as well as existing and expected implementation and operation projects, we continue to see a future with great potential, which we intend to capitalize on.
Sincerely,
Georg Kapsch Chief Executive Officer
The shares of Kapsch TrafficCom are listed on the Vienna Stock Exchange and are included in the ATX Prime Index. In the first three quarters of the fiscal year, the share price exhibited high volatility and initially developed similarly to the general situation on the international stock markets. After a price drop at the start of August, the share recovered briefly before falling to its lowest level during the reporting period of EUR 45.22 on 4 October. After this point, however, the price rose continuously at a rate significantly stronger than the relevant comparison indexes. On 29 December 2011, the Kapsch TrafficCom share closed at EUR 58.50, 6 % below the price on 31 March 2011, while the ATX Prime Index lost 23 % of its value over the same time period.
In connection with the capital increase on 27 July 2011, the number of shares increased from 12.2 million to 13 million. The free float (including the shares of Erwin Toplak, COO) has since been 35.8 %. Capital Research and Management Company, which until recently held over 5 % of the voting rights via funds, informed the company in February 2012 that it had fallen below the 5 % threshold. KAPSCH-Group Beteiligungs GmbH holds roughly 64.2 % of the shares since the capital increase. Based on the final share price of EUR 58.50, Kapsch TrafficCom had a market capitalization of EUR 760.5 million on 31 December 2011.
Closing price of the Kapsch TrafficCom share (KTCG) and closing value of the ATX Prime Index on 31 March 2011, each indexed to 100.

The revenues of the Kapsch TrafficCom Group were at EUR 408.2 million in the first nine months of the current fiscal year 2011/12 (FY12 Q1-Q3), up by 57.9 % from EUR 258.5 million compared to the same period of the previous fiscal year (FY11 Q1-Q3). This positive trend was attributable to the two major segments, Road Solution Projects (RSP) and Services, System Extensions, Components Sales (SEC), both of which recorded significant increases.
Revenues by segment in the first three quarters of the current fiscal year were as follows:
The number of on-board units delivered reached the all-time high of 8.0 million units (FY11 Q1-Q3: 2.9 million units), attributable to the deliveries for the South African project and the nationwide toll collection system in Poland as well as to the Canadian and American IVHS subsidiaries (formerly Mark IV IVHS) acquired in November 2010.
■ The segment Others (OTH) recorded revenues of EUR 6.9 million (FY11 Q1-Q3: EUR 4.7 million), an increase of 45.3 %. This is mainly attributable to deliveries for GSM-R orders by Kapsch CarrierCom.
In the first three quarters of the current fiscal year, Kapsch TrafficCom Group reported an operating result (EBIT) of EUR 37.4 million, up by 61.1 % compared with the same period in the previous year (EUR 23.2 million). This result was impacted negatively by exchange rate effects remaining largely unrealized. Operating results (EBIT) by segment were as follows:
Kapsch TrafficCom recorded a financial result of EUR -4.3 million in the period under consideration (FY11 Q1-Q3: EUR 0.4 million). Finance income increased slightly due to not yet realized exchange rate gains. Finance costs rose as a result of exchange rate losses, which largely remained unrealized, essentially resulting from the financing of the projects in Poland and South Africa. Increased interest expenses in connection with the corporate bond issued last year and the financing of the nationwide toll collection project in Poland were additional reasons for the higher finance costs. Due to these developments, the profit before taxes and consequently the profit for the period as well as the earnings per share exhibited lower growth rates than the operating result (EBIT).
Total assets increased as a consequence of the augmented project business to EUR 516.4 million as of 31 December 2011 (31 March 2011: EUR 450.1 million). Total equity reached EUR 238.2 million, EUR 46.7 million above the previous year's figure of EUR 191.5 (31 March 2011), mainly due to the capital increase at the end of July 2011 as well as the profit of the year to date amounting to EUR 19.4 million. On this basis, the equity ratio of the Kapsch TrafficCom Group increased to 46.1 % as of 31 December 2011 (31 March 2011: 42.5 %) despite an increase in total assets and the high project-related net working capital.
The most significant changes in assets were due to the increase in inventories relative to 31 March 2011 by EUR 16.0 million to reach EUR 65.4 million in connection with the nationwide electronic toll collection system in Poland. The higher trade receivables (31 December 2011: EUR 226.1 million; 31 March 2011: EUR 190.9 million) resulted predominantly from receivables from the project in Poland and the South African Gauteng project.
On the liabilities side, the most significant changes were in the increased current liabilities, which were mainly influenced by the current financial liabilities increasing from EUR 23.1 million to EUR 47.2 million due largely to utilization of the credit line for the project in Poland.
Net cash flow from operating activities declined to EUR -15.4 million in the first nine months of the current fiscal year, compared to EUR 22.1 million in the same period of the previous fiscal year. Mainly the rise in trade receivables and other current assets as well as the increase in inventories were responsible for this development, also leading to a further increase of the net working capital. This could not be compensated by the significantly improved operating result (EBIT). The net cash flow from investing activities was determined by the expansion of production facilities, modernization of office premises and the acquisition of securities. The free cash flow declined to EUR -23.8 million after EUR 16.3 million in the same period of the previous fiscal year. The capital increase at the end of July 2011 and the drawdown of a short-term credit for the project in Poland positively affected the net cash flow from financing activities, while the payment of dividends lowered the result.
Cash and cash equivalents were increased to EUR 63.0 million as of 31 December 2011, compared to EUR 42.0 million as of 31 March 2011. The increase in short-term financial liabilities could not be offset by the increased cash and cash equivalents, leading to marginally higher net debts of EUR 50.5 million as of 31 December 2011 compared to EUR 47.2 million as of 31 March 2011.
No major events occurred after 31 December 2011.

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 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 three quarters of FY12, the tax rate is 25 % (FY11 Q1-Q3: 29 %). For the full year FY12, management expects an effective tax rate of approximately 25 %.
