Kapsch TrafficCom: Kapsch TrafficCom, provider of intelligent transportation systems in the fields of tolling, traffic management, smart urban mobility, traffic safety and security, was able to increase the revenues of the first three quarters 2019/20 to Euro 545.5 mn (+2.3%). Growth in the Americas region (North, Central and South America) was particularly noteworthy (+23.2%). The operating result (EBIT) reached Euro 7.7 mn (-77.2%) - Euro 10.6 mn of one-off effects weighed on the EBIT. "The results have not met my expectations or what we have aimed for. We are currently experiencing a certain amount of upheaval as we move into a new phase of expansion. The business model is being extended in a way to address both existing and new customer groups with innovative solutions. The necessary investments have a direct influence on our profit and loss statement as we do not capitalize much. We will continue working purposefully. As soon as we have succeeded in rebuilding a solid staffing level in North America and recovered the usual high productivity we are accustomed to, as well as overcome the challenges in Africa, we will be able to enjoy profitable growth again," says Georg Kapsch, CEO of Kapsch TrafficCom.

Palfinger: Revenue of Palfinger, one of the world's leading manufacturers of innovative lifting solutions for use on commercial vehicles and in the maritime field, exceeded Euro 1.75 bn (+8.6%). EBIT increased by 17.4 % to Euro 149.0 mn - the highest level in the history of Palfinger. Consolidated net profit for the year 2019 increased by 38.1 % to Euro 80.0 mn compared with Euro 58.0 mn in the previous year - also a record amount in the history of the company. According to the company, profitability in the first quarter of 2020 is expected to be significantly below the outstanding level of the first quarter of 2019. Reasons for this are changes in the regional and product mix, higher structural costs in connection with the growth strategy as well as current negative market influences. The reduced profitability in the first quarter will have a corresponding impact on the result for the first half of 2020.
Despite the expected decline in earnings in the first quarter, management expects a solid fiscal year 2020. The target of increasing sales to Euro 2 bn and an EBIT margin and ROCE of 10% each on average over the economic cycle by 2022 remains unchanged.
