27.08.2007

Vienna, 27 August 2007 - Kapsch TrafficCom AG (ISIN AT000KAPSCH9)
showed a significant improvement in respect of both revenues and
earnings in the first quarter of the fiscal year 2007/08 which
ended on 30 June 2007.

Significant increase in both revenues and earnings The start of
operations of phase I of the nationwide truck tolling system in
the Czech Republic on 1 January 2007 and a high level of
components sales resulted in a significant increase of total
revenues, which were EUR 33.8 million in the first three months
of the current fiscal year compared to EUR 27.3 million in the
same period last year, which is an increase by 24%. Thereof, the
RSP segment (Road Solution Projects) contributed revenues of
EUR 7.3 million, or 21.6% (Q1 2006/07: EUR 7.6 million). As a
result of the start of commercial operations and the components
sales of phase I of the nationwide truck tolling system in the
Czech Republic in combination with follow-up business in Chile
Kapsch TrafficCom's SEC segment (Services, System Extensions and
Components Sales) revenues increased by more than 47%, from EUR
15.9 million to EUR 23.4 million (equal to a contribution of
the SEC segment of 69.2% to total revenue). With EUR 3.2 million
(Q1 2006/07: EUR 3.9 million) the third segment, OTH, (Others)
accounted for 9.5% of total revenue.

Kapsch TrafficCom's first quarter adjusted EBITDA (earnings before
interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) increased from EUR
4.0 million in the first quarter of the fiscal year 2006/2007 to
EUR 5.3 million (or by 34%). Adjusted EBIT (earnings before
interest and taxes) increased by 46% to EUR 4.4 million (compared
to EUR 3.0 million in Q1 2006/07).

The adjusted EBIT for the RSP segment was EUR 0.1 million. The EBIT
decline in this segment is largely attributable to preparatory work
for the participation in tenders for upcoming large-scale projects
in Central and Eastern Europe. The additional transaction volume
of the operations, service and components business resulted in
an increase of the SEC segment's EBIT by 77.3% to EUR 3.9 million.
The OTH segment improved its EBIT by EUR 0.2 million due to a
break- even result.

Kapsch TrafficCom's profit before tax increased from EUR 3.1 million
to EUR 4.0 million. Profit after tax increased from EUR 2.2 million
to EUR 2.9 million and the profit for the period went up from EUR
1.8 million to EUR 2.9 million.

Financial condition As a result of its successful IPO, Kapsch
TrafficCom AG's balance sheet as at 30 June 2007 has undergone
material changes. The IPO resulted in a significant improvement in
the liquidity position (cash and cash equivalents of EUR 69.9
million greatly exceed the financial liabilities of EUR 28.2
million, which were reduced in the first three months of the
fiscal year 2007/2008). The Group's liquid assets have increased
by EUR 49.5 million due to the successful public offering, despite
a reduction of financial liabilities by EUR 4.5 million and of
current liabilities by EUR 8.4 million.

Equity increased to EUR 106.7 million, equal to an equity ratio of
39%. The Group's total assets amount of the balance sheet rose to
EUR 275.8 million.

Outlook Assuming positive macroeconomic developments and based on the
growing interest worldwide in toll systems solutions and traffic
telematics, the management of Kapsch TrafficCom view its future
prospects optimistically.

2007/08 can be downloaded at www.kapschtraffic.com at the Investor
