Vienna, February 16, 2026 – Following an analysis of preliminary business
figures for the first three quarters of the financial year 2025/26, the
Management Board of Kapsch TrafficCom AG (ISIN: AT000KAPSCH9) announces
that revenues and earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) fall
significantly short of expectations. It is necessary to adjust the outlook
for the financial year 2025/26.

Accordingly, preliminary revenues of around EUR 307 million and EBIT of
around EUR 12 million are expected for the first three quarters of the
financial year 2025/26. EBIT includes a positive one-off effect of around
EUR 23 million from the first quarter.

The tolling market is showing a drastic and unexpectedly severe weakness
on a global scale. Furthermore, there were customer-related delays in
starts and executions of projects. The relatively strong order intake over
the past ten months – despite the challenging market situation – will
contribute to revenues only in the financial year 2026/27 and the
following years. This has corresponding effects on the expected operating
results.

The outlook for the financial year 2025/26 is therefore being revised. The
Management Board of Kapsch TrafficCom AG now expects revenues in the range
of approximately EUR 420 million (previously around EUR 450 million) and
EBIT in the range of approximately EUR 7 million (previously around EUR 25
million).

Kapsch TrafficCom therefore continues to place a strong focus on cost
adjustments, although these will not take full effect until the next
financial year.
