Earnings Forecast
24.07.2018

Vienna - Based on preliminary data, Kapsch TrafficCom announces that revenues
and operating result (EBIT) of the first quarter 2018/19 are expected below
plan. Revenues of about EUR 158 million and EBIT of about EUR 7 million are
expected.

Based on these lower than expected values, the company lowers the outlook for
the current fiscal year 2018/19. Revenues and EBIT should reach previous year's
levels (revenues: EUR 693 million, EBIT: EUR 50 million). Initially, a growth of
10% was forecasted for both figures.

The main reason for the weaker results of the first quarter 2018/19 are
deferments in certain existing projects. As a consequence, revenues and earnings
for these projects budgeted in the current fiscal year could be deferred into
the next fiscal year. The general order situation of the company remains
positive.

The results of Kapsch TrafficCom for the first quarter 2018/19 will be published
on August 23, 2018.
