Proposal of the executive board subject to approval of the
shareholders? meeting on 12 September 2013

Vienna, 11 June 2013 -Kapsch TrafficCom AG (ISIN AT000KAPSCH9),
listed on the Vienna Stock Exchange in the prime market segment, is
reporting on its fiscal year 2012/13 as a transition period in terms
of projects and the company's organizational structure, which was
retooled during the reporting period for the planned continuation of
growth.

The Kapsch TrafficCom Group made significant progress during the past
fiscal year, although the investments in the future as well as
project delays led to lower revenues with simultaneously high
expenditures. The earnings figures of the reporting year therefore
lie clearly below the targets of the executive board.

The revenue in the fiscal year 2012/13 was EUR 488.9 million, which
is 11.1 % below the previous year's value of EUR 549.9 million. This
decline reflects, on one hand, the fact that the major installation
projects in Poland and South Africa were already completed but the
new projects were of smaller overall volume and only began
contributing revenue as of the second half of the year. On the other
hand, the operation revenues in Poland and South Africa were still
significantly below expectations since the completed system in South
Africa did not go into operation by the end of the fiscal year and
the revenues earned in Poland reached the expected levels only as of
the third quarter.

Only in the fourth quarter did the improved system operation in
Poland together with progress in the project in Belarus enable a
significant increase in revenue, making the quarterly earnings more
than satisfactory at EUR 24.9 million. For the entire year, the EBIT
was EUR 15.3 million, following EUR 42.2 million in the previous
year. This puts the EBIT margin at 3.1 %, considerably below the
previous year's value of 7.7 %.

The executive board will recommend to the annual general meeting on
12 September 2013, the payment of a dividend of EUR 0.40 per share
(2011/12: EUR 0.90 per share) for the fiscal year 2012/13. The payout
ratio is therefore roughly 54 % (2011/12: roughly 57 %).

The balance sheet of the Kapsch TrafficCom Group paints an extremely
solid picture. The conclusion of the system implementation in Poland
and the associated payment of the last milestone from construction of
the system in the first quarter of the reporting year led to
noticeable improvements compared with the balance sheet date of 31
March 2012. The free cash flow, which was negative in the comparison
period, amounted to EUR 48.3 million at the end of the reporting
year. This confirms that Kapsch TrafficCom has the necessary
financial potential for the planned growth.

The fiscal year 2013/14 will be marked by a continuation of the
existing projects. In particular, the further developments in South
Africa will influence the revenue and earnings situation. In
addition, an invitation to tender has already begun in Slovenia.
Kapsch TrafficCom expects additional tenders in Belgium and the
U.S.A. Extensive toll systems are under discussion in Bulgaria,
Russia and the surrounding countries as well as in Germany, and these
discussions are also being followed with great interest. An overview

(instead of 26 June 2013).
