Interim Group Management Report (unaudited)
1. Total revenues and earnings development in the quarter
EBIT increase to € 4.3m due to higher equipment and service revenues
The revenues in the first quarter of 2015 rose to € 75.5m (prior year: € 64.8m) and thereby increased by 16.5%. Mainly due to the positive development of the equipment and service segment, EBIT climbed to € 4.3m (prior year: € –0.4m).
The order backlog continued to develop well in the first quarter and was therefore above prior year level at the end of March. The Company is therefore expecting a favorable business development for the entire first half of 2015.
2. Economic report
2.1 General conditions and competition
The general conditions regarding economy and competition corresponded largely to the situation described in the Group Management Report 2014. Significant technology changes did not occur and are not foreseeable.
2.2 Recommendation of a special dividend payment to the shareholders
Special dividend of € 0.95 proposed
Based on the positive business performance of recent years, management and supervisory board recommend to the shareholders at this year's annual general meeting on May 13th the payment of a dividend in the amount of € 1.65 for each share entitled to a dividend. This amount consists of a dividend of € 0.70 per share plus a special dividend in the amount of € 0.95. In the future, the Company will pay a dividend of at least 40% of the net result and review the possibility of special dividends depending on the business performance.
2.3 Earnings
2.3.1 Revenues by segments and products
Revenues Jan 1 to Mar 31, in € m, IFRS
The revenue increase in the »Core Europe« segment in the first quarter of 2015 is primarily attributable to higher revenues generated from the sale of equipment and services. In the »Eastern Europe« segment, revenues increased as expected compared to the prior year. In the »North America« segment, revenues increased from € 9.1m to € 11.3m based on exchange rate effects. The relevant revenues in USD terms equaled € 12.6m and matched last year's level. In the »Asia/Pacific« segment, revenues increased by € 1.3m to € 3.7m.
Revenues by segment, Jan 1 to Mar 31, in € m, IFRS

| Operator business and others | 3.3 | 3.2 | 0.1 | |
| Group | 75.5 | 64.8 | 10.7 |
Revenues in »Equipment and Service« rose by 18.2% from € 52.4m to € 61.9m. Amongst others due to good wash business performance, »Chemicals« revenues also rose by 12% to € 10.3m. »Operator business and others« revenues continued to remain stable.
2.3.2 Expense items and earnings
The gross profit margin remained at an almost constant level of 60.1% (prior year: € 60.2%). Gross profit margin unchanged > 60%
Personnel expenses rose by € 1.1m to € 27.9m (prior year: € 26.8m) primarily due to exchange rate effects.
Other operating expenses (including other taxes) rose by € 1.7m to € 12.8m (prior year: € 11.1m). The main reason for this development was a negative effect arising from the valuation of assets held in a foreign currency.

EBITDA improved by € 4.7m to € 6.7m (prior year: € 2.0m).
EBIT of the group increased to € 4.3m (prior year: € –0.4m).

| Asia/Pacific | 0.1 | –0.1 | 0.2 | |
| Consolidation | –0.2 | 0.0 | –0.2 | |
| Group | 4.3 | –0.4 | 4.7 |
The EBIT increase in the »Core Europe«, »Eastern Europe« and »Asia/Pacific« segments is mainly based on the revenue growth achieved. In the »North America« segment, EBIT remained stable.
In general, the exchange rate development between the US dollar and the euro did not have a significant impact on the operating business. The balance sheet date valuation used for the assets and liabilities, which were reported in a foreign currency on the balance sheet, had a positive effect on earnings of € 0.2 m (prior year: € –0.1m).
The consolidated net result after taxes totaled € 2.5m (prior year: Mio.€ –0.6m). Earnings per share (diluted = undiluted) therefore climbed to € 0.18 (prior year: € –0.04).

| Deferred income | 8.2 | 8.2 |
| Deferred tax liabilities | 2.9 | 2.9 |
| Balance sheet total | 192.2 | 185.8 |
Net current assets (short-term trade receivables + inventories – short-term trade payables) decreased from € 71.2m as of December 31, 2014 to € 69.9m mainly because of lower receivables.
Equity ratio equals 49.0%
Equity increased to € 94.2m as of March 31, 2015 (December 31, 2014: € 90.9m) mostly due to the consolidated net result. As a result of income and expenses recognized directly in equity capital according to IFRS, the change in equity capital does not match up with the results for the period. The equity ratio compared to the end of 2014 improved slightly from 48.9% to 49.0%.
Net financial liquidity (cash and cash equivalents less any short-term and long-term financial liabilities) rose to € 10.4m (December 31, 2014: € 9.8m).
Other liabilities and provisions were at € 86.6m (December 31, 2014: € 83.5m).
2.5 Financial Position
Cash inflow from operating activities (net cash flow) declined significantly to € 2.7m (prior year: € 5.4m) due to tax effects.
Cash outflow from investing activities rose to € 1.2m (prior year: € 0.8m). For the entire year, the investment volume is expected to increase slightly compared to 2014.
Free cash flow (net cash flow less cash outflow from investing activities) was at € 1.5m (prior year: € 4.6m).
Overall, cash and cash equivalents, compared to December 31, 2014, increased by € 0.3m to € 15.7m.
2.6 Employees
1,665 employees at WashTec Group
As of March 31, 2015, the number of employees equaled 1,665 and is therefore almost unchanged compared to the end of 2014. Compared to March 31, 2014, there are 13 employees less.
3. Forecast, opportunities and risk report
3.1 Forecast
After the first quarter, the Company continues to aim at a slight growth in revenue and a significant increase in EBIT for 2015.
In this respect, the following development is expected in the individual segments:
- Core Europe: stable revenues and earnings
- Eastern Europe: significant increase in revenues and slight increase in earnings
- North America: significant increase in revenues and earnings
- Asia/Pacific: Significant increase in revenues and earnings.
This forecast is subject to uncertainty. Key determining factors will be how business in Core Europe develops and the extent to which the Company will succeed at exploiting the growth potential in the other markets.
The forecast relating to the other defined performance indicators, which is contained in the 2014 annual report, also continues to apply.
3.2 Opportunities and risks for group development
The 2014 annual report includes a description of the WashTec Group's risk management. Compared to the opportunities and risks described in the risk report of the 2014 annual report, the situation has not changed significantly.
4. Other information
4.1 Information about dealings with related companies and persons
No significant transactions were conducted with related companies and persons during the reporting period.

No significant events occurred after the end of the reporting period.
5. Share and investor relations

WashTec is currently covered by Hauck & Aufhäuser, HSBC Trinkaus & Burkhardt and MM Warburg.
As of March 31, the trading volume of WashTec shares placed 124th on the Deutsche Börse ranking for MDAX and SDAX stocks, thereby improving from the prior year (prior year ranking: 130th) despite the low free float.

The fair value of the receivables and trade payables, of cash and cash equivalents, and of other fi nancial liabilities matches the relevant book (carrying) value because of the short maturities. The fair value of the liabilities under fi nancial leases and loans was calculated by discounting to present value their expected future cash fl ows based on customary market yields.
These foreign exchange forwards are measured at fair value using the anticipated foreign exchange rates which are quoted on a regulated market. Interest rate swaps are measured at fair value using the anticipated interest rates under recognizable yield curves.
The fair value of the fi nancial instruments is classifi ed according to maturities as follows:
| in €k | Mar 31, 2015 Dec 31, 2014 | |
|---|---|---|
| Long term | 319 | 164 |
| Short term | 935 | 749 |
| Total | 1,254 | 913 |
