Kapsch TrafficCom: Austrian Kapsch TrafficCom, provider of intelligent transportation systems in the fields of tolling, traffic management, smart urban mobility, traffic safety and security, and connected vehicles, has taken part in the tender “planning, development, implementation, operation and maintenance of the automated ISA enforcement system (automatic enforcement)” for the enforcement of the German infrastructure charge (passenger car toll). The responsible contracting authority has informed Kapsch TrafficCom of its intention to award the contract to MTS Maut & Telematik Services GmbH, a 100% subsidiary of Kapsch TrafficCom AG, the company says. According to the regular time frames of German procurement law for the required notification of the losing bidders, the award is not possible before October 22, 2018. In addition, should the losing bidders make use of their legal protection rights which would cause a prohibition of the award, the outcome of the legal proceedings under public procurement law would need to be further waited for. The contract has a base term of twelve years starting with the first collection of the infrastructure charge. The Federal Republic of Germany can extend the contract once for three years or three times by one year (hence, up to a total term of 15 years). Furthermore the Federal Republic of Germany has the option on additional deliverables. Depending on the extent of additional deliverables to be supplied, the order volume can be in the range of (for the total term) less than Euro 100 mn up to Euro 120 mn.

Agrana: Agrana, Austrian based  manufacturer of fruit products, starch and sugar, registered a significant earnings reduction in the first half of the 2018|19 financial year. Operating profit (EBIT), at Euro 63.0 min, was off 51.8% from the year-earlier level. The Group’s revenue eased by 7.4% to Euro 1,261.0 mn (H1 prior year: Euro 1,362.1 mn). Agrana Chief Executive Officer Johann Marihart says: “Extremely low prices in the sugar and isoglucose businesses after the EU quota expiration, as well as significantly lower ethanol prices than a year ago, led to a significant slump in EBIT earnings. The Fruit segment on the other hand delivered a satisfactory performance, with EBIT moderately above that of the good prior year.” Profit for the period was Euro 39.9 mn (H1 prior year: 97.3 mn). As a result of the persistent challenges faced, especially in the Sugar segment, Agrana continues to predict a significant reduction in Group operating profit (EBIT) for the full 2018|19 financial year. Revenue is projected to be slightly lower than in the year before. EBIT in the third quarter of the current 2018|19 financial year is also expected to come in below the level of the prior year’s comparative quarter.
Agrana: weekly performance: -11.08%
