Vienna, June 27, 2025 - The Executive Board of Kapsch TrafficCom AG ( ISIN: AT000KAPSCH9) announces that MTS Maut & Telematik Services GmbH, a fully consolidated subsidiary of Kapsch TrafficCom AG, will receive a payment in the amount of around EUR 27 million as a result of a settlement agreement with the Federal Republic of Germany to end the arbitration proceedings conducted due to the termination of a contract for the automatic control of an infrastructure charge ("passenger vehicle toll"). The settlement agreement is expected to be finally executed by the arbitral tribunal in the coming days and thus becomes effective. With the payment of the amount of around EUR 27 million to MTS Maut & Telematik Services GmbH by the Federal Republic of Germany, the reciprocal claims arising from the contract for the planning, development, construction, operation and maintenance of the automatic control system of the infrastructure charge will have been settled. Taking into account the expected inflow of around EUR 27 million from these arbitration proceedings, the outlook for financial year 2025/26 is specified and the management of Kapsch TrafficCom AG now expects unchanged revenues of around EUR 510 million and an operating result (EBIT) in the order of around EUR 45 million, whereby additional positive one-off effects are possible in the course of the financial year.

"The financial year we are reporting on today is not comparable with the previous year in terms of figures. Due to the deconsolidations of several companies, we also have a different basis for revenues and earnings than a year ago. Above all, however, we have become more efficient in the execution of our projects, we have significantly more breathing room in terms of liquidity, and we have reviewed our strategy and updated it in line with the developments that have already taken place," says Georg Kapsch, CEO of Kapsch TrafficCom. 

Kapsch TrafficCom AG announces that it has relinquished control and the majority of voting rights in Kapsch Telematic Services IOOO, based in Belarus, which operates the nationwide tolling system in Belarus. The Company now holds less than 50% of the shares in Kapsch Telematic Services IOOO. The parties have agreed not to disclose the details of the transaction.
