Letter from the Chief Executive Officer.

Georg Kapsch, Chief Executive Officer

Dear shareholders,

The first quarter of fiscal year 2013/14 for the Kapsch TrafficCom Group was marked by progress in existing projects. Without a doubt, one highlight was the major project in Belarus with phase 1 entering technical operation on July 1st and commercial operation on August 1st. In addition, we moved forward with the projects in France, Australia and Texas, all of which should see implementation largely completed by the end of fiscal year 2013/14.

As always, the ongoing operation of systems contributed strongly to the results. For several quarters now, this has also included the nationwide system in Poland, which – after initial difficulties arising from the short implementation time – now contributes impressively to revenue and earnings.

On this basis, the Kapsch TrafficCom Group achieved revenue in the first quarter of 2013/14 amounting to EUR 121.4 million. This increase of 14% over the same quarter of the previous year is due primarily to the installation project in Belarus and the operation and further expansion of the Polish system.

The EBIT, which was negative in the first quarter of the previous year at EUR -5.2 million was EUR 3.7 million in the reporting period. The profit before tax and the earnings per share were still negative as the financial result decreased to EUR -5.3 million due to exchange rate fluctuations that negatively impacted the conversion of the group-internal financing measures as at the key date. This result is not exceptional but it represents a significant improvement over the previous year – even despite the burden of the continued delay in commissioning of the system in South Africa.

Shortly after the end of the quarter, in the second half of July – the business developments of Kapsch TrafficCom were overshadowed by media reports of further delays and supposed difficulties in connection with the toll system we installed in the South African province of Gauteng. The fact is that the situation there has remained unchanged since the end of 2012. The conditions for commissioning of the system have been established; it remains only for the corresponding law to be signed by the President of South Africa and for the starting date to be announced. South Africa's new Minister of Transportation recently also spoke in support of the system on behalf of the government and emphasized its importance in connection with financing and maintaining infrastructure.

The toll system is completed and the installation has largely been paid for. We have also reached an agreement with our customer concerning reimbursement for the costs of maintaining operational readiness. However, the facts that we are not receiving operating revenue and that not all of our costs are being reimbursed mean that the project currently detracts significantly from the results of Kapsch TrafficCom.

In Belarus, Kapsch TrafficCom received an order for the installation and the operation over 20 years of a nationwide electronic toll collection system a little over one year ago. The first expansion phase – to an initial 815 kilometers of road – was completed within the quarter under report, and technical operation began on July 1st. A fluid transition to the 2nd expansion phase took place at the same time. Each individual phase is prefinanced by Kapsch TrafficCom and paid for within three years as of the start of operation.

In Slovenia, the tender for an electronic toll collection system for trucks, for which we were the only bidder, was annulled at the start of July. This was already the second canceled tender in the past three years. It remains to be seen how the situation will develop further, although we do expect another tender.

We have achieved yet another success in North America. After our contract with the E-ZPass Group, which operates the world's largest interoperable toll system in 14 US states, was extended in July 2011, Kapsch TrafficCom received in June 2013 a new five-year order from the Canadian toll authority Cantoll. In this project, we will be supplying the next generation of on-board units for highway 407 ETR Toronto metropolitan region. This should secure the high volume of on-board units in North America for the coming years.

In Chile, we were entrusted with a traffic management system for the access road to the world's largest copper mine. This order shows – even if only on a small scale – the increasing importance of intelligent transportation systems (ITS).

The balance sheet of the Kapsch TrafficCom Group at the end of the first quarter of 2013/14 reflected the progress and the prefinancing of the project in Belarus: Both receivables and financial liabilities increased relative to the balance sheet date of 31 March 2013, as did the net working capital. The free cash flow is again negative at EUR -37.2 million, in contrast to the previous quarters. With the conclusion of the first expansion phase, payment by our customer has now begun.

The next quarters will be characterized by the continuation of our existing orders. The next expansion phase in Belarus should go into operation toward the end of our fiscal year in spring 2014. Then phase 3 begins, which entails a further expansion of the system by 1,500 km. The implementation of our ongoing projects in France, Australia and Texas should be largely completed by the end of the fiscal year.

We look forward with great interest to the coming developments in South Africa as well as Slovenia, and we also expect additional invitations to tender. In parallel to this, we are also actively contacting possible interested parties for toll systems, an approach that already proved successful in Belarus. These efforts are also meeting with great interest in other countries. With our ITS strategy and the new company structure, we consider ourselves well-positioned for all growth opportunities.

Sincerely,

Georg Kapsch Chief Executive Officer

Kapsch TrafficCom Shares.

The Kapsch TrafficCom shares are listed on the Vienna Stock Exchange and included in the ATX Prime Index as well as the Austrian sustainability index VÖNIX. During the reporting period, they were also integrated into the ATX Global Players Index, which has been tracked by the Vienna Stock Exchange since 13 May 2013. After the share price experienced a massive decline in the previous fiscal year to EUR 37.02 as at 31 March 2013, it remained stable over the first three months of the current fiscal year – albeit with high volatility. At the end of the quarter on 30 June 2013, the price was EUR 36.98. The price of the Kapsch TrafficCom shares thereby developed during the quarter under report similarly to the international stock exchange trends and performed somewhat better than the ATX Prime Index, which fell by roughly 5%. At the end of July 2013, however, the price did fall by roughly 15% within a short time after media reports concerning South Africa until a clarification of the facts by the CEO put an end to this downward trend.

The number of shares is 13 million. KAPSCH-Group Beteiligungs GmbH holds 61.9% of the shares, and the remaining 38.1% are in free float (including the shares of Erwin Toplak, COO). On 30 June 2013, Kapsch TrafficCom had a market capitalization of EUR 480.7 million based on the final share price of EUR 36.98.

The final price of the Kapsch TrafficCom shares and final value of the ATX Prime Index on 31 March 2013, both indexed to 100.

Analysis of the results and balance sheet.

Revenue and earnings.

The revenues of Kapsch TrafficCom Group were EUR 121.4 million in the first quarter of the current fiscal year 2013/14, up by 14.1 % from EUR 106.4 million in the same period of the previous fiscal year. Revenues increased in the Road Solution Projects (RSP) segment and the Services, System Extensions, Components Sales (SEC) segment.

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

  • n The segment RSP (Road Solution Projects) recorded revenues of EUR 36.5 million after EUR 34.9 million in the same period of the previous fiscal year, an increase of 4.7%. The most significant revenue contribution during the quarter under report was supplied by the implementation project in Belarus, while the "Managed Lane" system project in Texas, USA, and the project for the M5 South West Motorway in Sydney, Australia, also contributed revenue.
  • n In the segment SEC (Services, System Extensions and Components Sales), revenues increased by 19.3% from EUR 67.7 million in previous fiscal year to EUR 80.8 million this year. The greatest factor here was the increased revenue from the operation project in Poland and the ongoing expansions of the toll system. Revenue in North America also developed positively since the ongoing contract negotiations with the individual members of the E-ZPass Group led in the first quarter of the previous year to postponements in on-board unit sales and revenue. The technical and commercial operation of the nationwide system in the Czech Republic and the technical operation including maintenance of the nationwide system in Austria continued to provide stable revenue contributions.

The number of on-board units sold amounted to 2.33 million (2012/13 Q1: 1.69 million). The initial delivery of on-board units for the nationwide toll project in Belarus took place in the quarter under report. The sales in North America, Mexico and Chile also increased.

n The segment Others (OTH) recorded revenues of EUR 4.1 million (2012/13 Q1: EUR 3.8 million), an increase of 7.6%. This increase resulted from the production and deliveries 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 3.7 million (2012/13 Q1: EUR -5.2 million). Operating results by segment were as follows:

  • n The segment RSP achieved an EBIT of EUR -1.6 million during the reporting period after EUR -7.2 million in the first quarter of the previous year. The installation project in Belarus, which exhibited great progress, made a significant contribution to the results. Overall, however, the expenditures for development and preparatory work for potential tenders as well as expenditures for ongoing tenders attributed to this segment could not be fully covered.
  • n The segment SEC achieved an EBIT of EUR 5.1 million (2012/13 Q1: EUR 1.9 million). The greatest portion originated from the technical and commercial operation project in Poland, which is now supplying stable earnings contributions. The increased sales of on-board units in the North American market also had a positive effect. For the South African Project in the Gauteng province, the costs for maintaining operational readiness are being reimbursed by the customer, however no ongoing revenues or earnings contributions are being earned from the commercial operation of the project due to the delayed commissioning.

n The segment OTH exhibited an EBIT of EUR 0.1 million (2012/13 Q1: EUR 0.1 million).

The financial result decreased from EUR -0.5 million in the comparison period of the previous year to EUR -5.3 million. The finance income declined due to lower foreign exchange gains, which are to a large extent still unrealized. The finance costs experienced an increase in the as yet unrealized foreign exchange losses. In both cases, the changes can be attributed to exchange rate fluctuations that negatively impacted the conversion of the group-internal financing measures of the subsidiaries in North America and South Africa as at the key date.

Financial position and cash flows.

The balance sheet total on 30 June 2013 of EUR 567.4 million was nearly unchanged from the total at the end of the last fiscal year 31 March 2013 (31 March 2013: EUR 567.2 million). The total equity of EUR 217.1 million was EUR 19.6 million below the comparison value at the end of the fiscal year of EUR 236.7 million. Due to the decreased total equity, the equity ratio of the Kapsch TrafficCom Group declined from 41.7% on 31 March 2013 to 38.3% on 30 June 2013.

The most significant changes in assets involved the non-current assets. The other non-current assets increased by EUR 17.0 million, largely due to the non-current share of the receivables from the Belarus installation project. On the other hand, the non-current assets were negatively impacted by the decline of EUR 12.4 million in other non-current financial assets and investments due primarily to the change in the fair value of the investment in Q-Free ASA, Norway. Under current assets, the trade receivables increased by EUR 16.2 million, primarily as a result of the project business.

On the liabilities side of the balance sheet, the largest change occurred in non-current financial liabilities, which increased by EUR 21.0 million due to financing the installation of the nationwide electronic truck toll system in Belarus.

The net cash flow from operating activities amounted to EUR -33.3 million. The operating result was therefore unable to compensate for the increase in current and non-current receivables and assets. The cash flow from investing activities was determined in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013/14 by the setup of the Belarusian company and ongoing replacement investments, leaving the free cash flow negative at EUR -37.2 million. The increase in the current and non-current financial liabilities primarily from project financing compensated for the dividends paid out to minority shareholders of group companies, leading to a positive net cash flow from financing activities of EUR 20.8 million.

Cash and cash equivalents declined from EUR 79.0 million as of 31 March 2013 to EUR 61.1 million as of 30 June 2013. The increase in non-current financial liabilities and the decline in cash and cash equivalents led to an increase in net debt from EUR 40.5 million on 31 March 2013 to EUR 85.3 million on 30 June 2013.

Kapsch TrafficCom Group – Selected notes to the condensed consolidated interim financial information.

1 General information

The business activities of the Kapsch TrafficCom Group are subdivided into the following three segments:

  • n Road Solution Projects (RSP)
  • n Services, System Extensions, Components Sales (SEC)
  • n Others (OTH)

The segment Road Solution Projects relates to the installation of ITS solutions.

The segment Services, System Extensions, Components Sales relates to the sale of services (maintenance and operation) and components in the area of ITS solutions.

The segment Others relates to non-core business activities conducted by Kapsch Components GmbH & Co KG. In this segment, engineering solutions, electronic manufacturing and logistics services are offered to affiliated entities and third parties.

2 Basis of preparation

This condensed interim financial information for the first quarter of the current fiscal year 2013/14 ended 30 June 2013 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 statements for the year ended 31 March 2013.

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.

3 Accounting policies

The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2013, as described in the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2013.

In the condensed interim financial information for the first quarter of the fiscal year 2013/14 the following new or amended IFRSs and IFRICs have been adopted.

New/adopted IFRSs applicable to financial years
beginning on or after
IAS 19R Employee Benefits 1 January 2013
IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement 1 January 2013
Amendment to IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures 1 January 2013
Amendment to IAS 1 Presentation of items under other comprehensive income 1 July 2012

Due to the revisions to IAS 19 the previously permissible deferral of actuarial gains and losses according to the corridor method, in which the actuarial gains were permitted to be recognized in profit or loss only if they amounted to 10% of the higher amount of the defined benefit obligation and the fair value of the plan assets, is no longer possible. Actuarial gains and losses are now fully recognized in other comprehensive income in the statement of comprehensive income. In addition, the group has adopted the new disclosure requirements.

In the course of applying IAS 19R the net interest amount is now disclosed within the financial result and no longer included in staff costs. This is the common disclosure method and facilitates comparability with other financial statements.

The adoption of IAS 19R and the change in disclosure of the interest effect were applied retrospectively according to IAS 8 with effect from 1 April 2012 to provide comparable financial information.

The impacts on the first quarter of the fiscal year 2012/13 are as follows:

11 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 quarter of 2013/14, the effective tax rate is 35% (2012/13 Q1: 25%). For the full year 2013/14, management expects an effective tax rate of approximately 25%.
