Vienna, July 5, 2023 – The Executive Board of Kapsch TrafficCom AG (ISIN: AT000KAPSCH9) announces that autoTicket GmbH, a joint venture of CTS Eventim AG Co. KGaA and Kapsch TrafficCom AG, which is held in equal shares, expects a compensation and damages payment in the amount of EUR 243 million due to a settlement agreement with the Federal Republic of Germany to end the arbitration proceedings conducted due to the termination of the operations contract for the collection of the infrastructure charge ("passenger car toll").

With the payment of the amount of EUR 243 million to autoTicket GmbH by the Federal Republic of Germany, the reciprocal claims arising from the operating agreement will have been settled, in particular the claims for compensation and damages initially asserted by autoTicket GmbH against the Federal Republic of Germany in the amount of approximately EUR 560 million. In accordance with the settlement reached, autoTicket GmbH will have to pay, out of the amount of EUR 243 million, the winding-up and other costs as well as expenses already incurred and future expenses, the total amount of which cannot yet be determined, before the portion which Kapsch TrafficCom AG is entitled to can be distributed. From today´s perspective, Kapsch TrafficCom AG can expect an inflow of at least approximately EUR 80 million.
In the outlook for the financial year 2023/24, the management of Kapsch TrafficCom AG now expects a significant improvement in the operating result (EBIT) with revenue growth in the single-digit percentage range.
