Vienna, June 17, 2026 – Kapsch TrafficCom’s business performance in
financial year 2025/26 fell short of initial expectations, in line with
the guidance issued on February 16, 2026, although the final month, March
2026, showed positive results. Consequently, the financial year was
primarily marked by internal cost adjustments and an increased focus on
new business. Strategically and in terms of projects, Kapsch TrafficCom
was able to look ahead and further strengthen its market position.
A decline in revenues had already been anticipated due to the cancellation
of two major operation projects; however, the tolling market also showed
an unexpectedly severe weakness. In addition, there were customer-related
delays in starts and executions of projects, and Kapsch TrafficCom did not
win all of the projects it had expected. However, the strong order intake
despite the difficult market situation will only become apparent in the
coming years.
Earnings Performance.
As previously announced on June 10, 2026, revenue for the past financial
year reached EUR 431 million. While this was slightly above the February
guidance, it was below the prior-year figure of EUR 530 million. This
primarily reflects the discontinuation of two operation projects, which
reduced revenue by approximately EUR 80 million: In the South African
province of Gauteng, the operation of the tolling system was terminated at
the end of March 2025, and in Belarus, Kapsch TrafficCom had sold its
majority stake in the company that continues to operate the nationwide
tolling system as of January 2025.
In addition, customer-related project delays and weakness in the global
tolling market were noted, preventing the revenue shortfall from being
offset. Furthermore, Kapsch TrafficCom was unable to secure all planned
projects.
On the cost side, Kapsch TrafficCom was efficient but had been structured
for the higher revenue level originally anticipated. The adjustments to
the lower level, which were initiated immediately, are well underway, and
it is expected that they will already take effect in the current financial
year. The expenses associated with these measures are largely included in
the reporting period. The settlement reached with the Federal Republic of
Germany in the first quarter of the reporting period had a positive
impact, contributing EUR 23 million to earnings. In addition, Kapsch
TrafficCom continues to participate financially in the success of the
deconsolidated company in Belarus. In North America, the turnaround was
confirmed in the past financial year, as evidenced by increased earnings
contributions as well as new orders in the region. On this basis, the
Kapsch TrafficCom Group’s EBIT for the 2025/26 financial year reached EUR
8 million.
Segments.
The significant effects described from the discontinuation of the projects
and the compensation from Germany are reflected in the tolling segment in
the EMEA region (Europe, Middle East, Africa). Furthermore, the tolling
segment in particular was characterized by a weak market worldwide. This
segment’s contribution to total revenue therefore declined to 69% during
the reporting period, while the traffic management segment contributed
31%. Revenues in the tolling segment declined significantly to EUR 295
million, with EBIT reaching EUR 10 million. In the traffic management
segment, revenues declined only slightly to EUR 135 million, with EBIT
amounting to EUR -3 million.
From a regional perspective, Kapsch TrafficCom reported declines in
revenues across all reporting regions – partly due to currency
fluctuations, particularly involving the U.S. dollar – although these
declines were most pronounced in the EMEA region.
Existing implementation and operation projects performed well, and
customer-related project delays are expected to be made up for in the
current financial year. In addition, Kapsch TrafficCom secured a number of
encouraging new orders during the reporting period. Order intake reached
approximately EUR 496 million during the reporting period, and the order
backlog stood at a very high EUR 1.3 billion at year-end.
Outlook.
For the 2026/27 financial year, Kapsch TrafficCom expects the market
environment to remain challenging. From today’s perspective, management
expects revenue and EBIT to exceed the previous year’s figures.
