22.11.2007

Vienna, 22 November 2007 - Kapsch TrafficCom AG (ISIN AT000KAPSCH9),
listed on the Vienna Stock Exchange in the prime market segment since
26 June 2007, continued its positive performance in the first half of
fiscal 2007/08, posting improved earnings figures against a slight
decline in revenues.

Earnings Volatility of the project business and the Road Solution
Projects (RSP) segment in particular led to a slight decline in
revenues in the first six months of the current fiscal year compared
to the same period during the previous fiscal year, down 5% from EUR
72.6m to EUR 68.8m. Broken down by segment, Road Solution Projects
(RSP) reported a 64% decline in revenues to EUR 13.2m (H1 2006/07:
EUR 36.6m). In the first half year of the previous year, revenues in
the amount of EUR 33.3m were included for the major part of the
construction of phase I of the nationwide truck tolling system in the
Czech Republic though. Tenders for other major project in Central and
Eastern Europe (CEE) in the current fiscal year have been postponed.
The performance of the Services, System Extensions and Components
Sales (SEC) segment improved significantly due to increased business
volumes, generating revenues of EUR 50.4m for the first half of the
fiscal year, 75% higher than the EUR 28.8m achieved during the same
period in the previous fiscal year. This increase is primarily
attributable to the successful technical and commercial operation of
the nationwide truck tolling system in the Czech Republic and a
significant increase in sales of components, particularly on-board
units (OBUs). The Others (OTH) segment recorded revenues of EUR 5.2m,
down about 28% against the same period in the previous fiscal year
(H1 2006/07: EUR 7.2m).

For the first half of 2007/08, Kapsch TrafficCom is reporting
improved earnings. EBITDA was up 26% from EUR 7.6m to EUR 9.6m, while
adjusted operating profit (adjusted EBIT) advanced 37% from EUR 5.6m
to EUR 7.6m. Profitability also improved, with the EBIT margin
improving from 8% to 10%.

The analysis by segment for the first half of fiscal 2007/08 shows
SEC´s EBIT growing from EUR 5.6m to EUR 7.9m (up 41%), with OTH also
improving its EBIT, from EUR -1.2m to EUR -0.3m. In the RSP segment,
expenses relating to preparations in order to participate in tenders
for upcoming large-scale projects in Central and Eastern Europe
(Slovakia and Hungary) and the United Kingdom resulted in a decline
in EBIT from EUR 1.2m to EUR -0.8m. In the first half of 2007/08,
Kapsch TrafficCom recorded a 48% increase in earnings before tax,
from EUR 5.8m to EUR 8.6m. Profit after tax for the period was up 47%
from EUR 4.3m to EUR 6.3m.

Assets and capital structure As of 30 September 2007, Kapsch
TrafficCom´s total assets increased by 26% to EUR 286.0m compared to
31 March 2007. Over the same period, total equity more than doubled,
to EUR 109.1m (31 March 2007: EUR 45.6m), bringing the equity ratio
as of 30 September 2007 to 38%. Due in parts to the successful
initial public offering, net debt as of 31 March 2007 of EUR 12.5m
has been transformed into net assets of EUR 27.1m as of 30 September
2007. The increased net cash outflow from operating activities of EUR
19.3m compared with a net outflow of EUR 2.9m in the same period of
the previous fiscal year reflects project-related increases in
inventories and trade receivables, and a significant decrease in
trade payables. The net cash outflow from investment activities was
EUR -31.4m (H1 2006/07: EUR -3.5m) and is attributable to the
acquisition of securities amounting to EUR 30m.

Outlook The second half of the year will be shaped by participation
in tenders and by project awards in Australia, Chile, Hungary,
Slovakia, South Africa and the United Kingdom. It should be noted
that orders have already been taken in Chile, New Zealand and South
Africa in the first half year. For the nationwide truck tolling
system in the Czech Republic, Kapsch TrafficCom and the customer have
now defined those "first class roads" which will go into operation on
1 January 2008. Kapsch TrafficCom is currently negotiating an
amendment regarding the extension of the Czech nationwide truck
tolling system (phase II).
