Sales and earnings exceed expectations in the first nine months thanks to strong e-solutions series and project sales – Forecast for 2019 revised upward

Passau, October 29, 2019 – InTiCa Systems AG (ISIN DE0005874846, ticker IS7), which is listed in the Prime Standard on Frankfurt Stock Exchange, hereby reports that, based on the provisional figures for the first nine months of 2019, the development of both sales and earnings is well above the Board of Directors’ expectations. The Board of Directors is therefore increasing its forecast for 2019.

As a result of very good series and project sales in the field of e-solutions, Group sales in the first nine months of 2019 amounted to EUR 50.8 million. That was around 39% above the prior-year period (9M 2018: EUR 36.6 million). The Automotive Technology segment generated sales of EUR 36.5 million (9M 2018: EUR 28.5 million) and the Industrial Electronics segment generated sales of EUR 14.3 million (9M 2018: EUR 8.1 million). The higher sales also had a positive impact on profitability. EBIT (earnings before interest and taxes) was EUR 1.9 million in the first nine months (9M 2018: EUR 13 thousand) and the EBIT margin was 3.8% (9M 2018: 0.04%).

Based on business performance to date and the expectations for the fourth quarter, the Board of Directors is raising its forecast for 2019 as a whole. Instead of sales of between EUR 54 million and EUR 58 million and an EBIT margin of 1.5-2.0%, the Board of Directors now expects Group sales to come in at between EUR 65 million and EUR 68 million, with an EBIT margin of at least 3.0%.

InTiCa Systems will publish the finalized results for the first nine months of 2019, together with more detailed information on its business performance and outlook, in its report on the first nine months, which will be published on November 21, 2019.
