Vienna, 24 August 2016 - Kapsch TrafficCom AG (ISIN AT000KAPSCH9), listed in
the Prime Market of the Vienna Stock Exchange, continued the positive
developments of the previous fiscal year in the first quarter of fiscal year
2016/17. Quarterly revenues increased over the comparison period of the
previous year by EUR 35.2 million (+30%) to EUR 152.3 million. The toll
business covered by the segment "Electronic Toll Collection" generated roughly
three-quarters of the Group's revenues. The remainder came from the segment
"Intelligent Mobility Solutions".
The operating result (EBIT) increased by EUR 4.8 million (+38%) to EUR 17.6
million. The profit for the period grew by EUR 0.9 million (+8%) to EUR 12.4
million, and the comparison value of the previous year included a positive one-
time effect in the financial result. Due to the significantly increased pretax
result, the income tax expenses also increased this year. Due to the
acquisition of the still non-controlling interest of 48% of the Czech company
Kapsch Telematic Services spol. s r.o., the profit for the period attributable
to equity holders increased by 30%.
The results were significantly impacted by the initial consolidation of Kapsch
TrafficCom Transportation ("KTT"), the global transportation division of
Schneider Electric acquired on 1 April 2016. The total revenue of the group
increased by EUR 24.9 million as a result. The revenue contribution from KTT
for the entire year is expected to be roughly EUR 125 million - primarily in
the segment "Intelligent Mobility Solutions". However, the integration costs as
well as the profitability of KTT, which must still be improved, will weigh down
the results of the Kapsch TrafficCom Group.
For optimization of the financing structure and refinancing of the bonds due in
November 2017 (EUR 70.8 million are outstanding), Kapsch TrafficCom obtained
for the first time a borrower's note loan in the amount of EUR 62 million plus
USD 14.5 million during the first quarter. The interest on this loan is
partially fixed and partially variable, and it encompasses three tranches for
periods of five, seven and ten years.
One disadvantage of this transaction for the equity ratio is its effect of
extending the balance sheet because of the temporary investment of the obtained
funds. Because the equity was also burdened by the acquisition of 48% of the
Czech company Kapsch Telematic Services, the equity ratio has declined to 35%.
Despite the purchase price payments for KTT and Kapsch Telematic Services,
Kapsch TrafficCom had a net credit at the end of the quarter of EUR 15.2
million.
In terms of new orders, Kapsch TrafficCom can report on additional successes in
the first three months of the current fiscal year. For instance, the company
obtained an order for what is now the fifth project in the Australian state of
Queensland. This includes both the delivery and operation of a toll system and
has been concluded for ten years. In the U.S.A., Kapsch TrafficCom received an
order for the modernization of the integrated transportation management systems
in the Highway Operations Center of the Massachusetts Department of
Transportation. North America certainly represents the most important growth
market for Kapsch TrafficCom. In addition to several larger projects, an
increasing volume of smaller projects is expected here.
