5 PLEASING ORGANIC GROWTH Letter to the shareholders Dear Shareholders In the first half of the 2013/2014 financial year, Kaba Group posted pleasing currency-adjusted growth of 4.3 % and sales of CHF million. In the same period last year, sales in local currency fell by 3.7 %. The ADS divisions EMEA/AP and Americas grew currency-adjusted by 4.9 % and 5.6 % respectively, and Key Systems by 3.3 %. Owing to the increased investment activities that have already been announced, as well as added costs from investment in infrastructure, profitability has decreased slightly. With EBITDA of CHF 74.7 million, Kaba achieved an EBITDA margin of 15.5 %, which is nevertheless within the target range for the current financial year. Markets recover slightly The market environment recovered slightly overall. The ADS EMEA/AP division grew faster than the economy in general in Europe, but was still unable to profit from economic growth in Asia. The ADS Americas division also managed to outperform the economy as a whole in America. The Key Systems division maintained its strong market position in Europe and North America. In the growth regions of Asia and South America, it was able to win additional market share. Planned investments As already announced, Kaba Group is increasing its investment in markets, innovation and infrastructure in order to secure long-term growth and profitability; this has a negative impact on the income statement in the short term. The respective positive impact of the investments will arise in the medium term. In summer 2013, the Board of Directors approved a growth plan for the Asia Pacific region. This involves targeted investment in organic market development, but also acquisitions. Here too, the positive effects will appear in the medium term. Owing to the region s great potential, targeted development of the business in Asia will remain a priority also in the future. Additional investments have also been made in product development projects. This investment centers on the development of existing and new 1

7 important software platforms for access control, as well as on Trusted Services as a basis for future applications of Near Field Communication (NFC) technology. Additional investment affects profitability In the period under review, Kaba Group achieved EBITDA of CHF 74.7 million, which amounts to an EBITDA margin of 15.5 % (prior year: CHF 77.0 million, or 16.5 %). This decline is largely due to the investments mentioned above in developing markets, products and innovations, as well as to additional costs arising from an ERP project in Europe. Changes in the product mix also had an effect on the EBITDA margin. With an average headcount of 7,486 (prior year: 7,385), Kaba Group achieved a net profit to 31 December 2013 of CHF 40.1 million (prior year: CHF 41.7 million). portfolio (mainly in Kaba s traditional product areas), its own assembly plant, and established local distribution channels. Thank you We would like to thank our shareholders, customers and partners for the trust they have placed in us, and for their commitment to Kaba. We thank our employees for their collaboration and dedication. Sincerely yours Ulrich Graf, Chairman of the Board of Directors Riet Cadonau, CEO Acquisition in the growing Chinese market During the period under review, Kaba Group acquired Shenzhen Probuck Technologies Co. Ltd., which is based in Shenzhen (China). The company, which has around 340 employees, specializes in electronic access control with biometric identification, based on its own fingerprint technology, as well as in time recording terminals. Integration of the company, which has its own distribution network in China, is proceeding as planned. Outlook for financial 2013/2014 Kaba is confirming its goals for the current financial year and expects organic growth for 2013/2014 of 1.5 % to 2.5 %, with an EBITDA margin of 15.5 % to 16.5 %. Events after the balance sheet date On 18 February 2014 Kaba Group announced the purchase of Task Sistemas de Computação S/A, based in Rio de Janeiro (Brazil). Task S/A has around 250 employees and offers an appealing product 3

8 INVESTMENTS AFFECT MARGIN Division Access + Data Systems (ADS) EMEA/AP Operational performance The ADS EMEA/AP division posted pleasing organic growth, yet did not fully meet expectations on profitability; in general, the AP area was not able to convince. Consolidated sales improved overall to CHF million (prior year: CHF million). In local currency, sales went up by 4.9 % (CHF 13.4 million, converted). EBITDA reached CHF 41.0 million (prior year: CHF 43.9 million), giving an EBITDA margin of 14.2 % (prior year: 15.9 %). The decline in profitabil- ity is largely due to the announced investment in developing markets and innovation, as well as additional costs from infrastructure investments (ERP Europe). Market developments Business developed well in the DACH region and Northern Europe, while Southern Europe continued to stagnate at a low level. In Asia, the division was unable to benefit from a positive market environment.

9 INCREASED PROFITABILITY Division Access + Data Systems (ADS) Americas Operational performance The ADS Americas division reported very pleasing results for the first half of 2013/2014. Overall, the division increased its consolidated sales to CHF million (prior year: CHF million). In local currency, sales went up by 5.6 % (CHF 6.0 million, converted). EBITDA increased significantly to CHF 34.5 million (prior year: CHF 31.5 million), giving a very healthy EBITDA margin of 30.5 % (prior year: 28.6 %). Market developments The market recovery continued. The hotel locking systems business performed particularly well. The pushbutton and high security lock sector, which in the prior year had been hurt by budget cuts at US government agencies, has recovered though not yet to its previous level. Further orders were won for self-boarding gates, e. g. at Boston s Logan Airport.

10 STRONG MARKET POSITION EXPANDED Division Key Systems Operational performance The Key Systems Division posted very good results for the period under review. Consolidated sales improved overall to CHF 92.1 million (prior year: CHF 89.0 million). In local currency, sales went up by 3.3 % (CHF 2.9 million, converted). EBITDA slipped back slightly to CHF 13.8 million (prior year: CHF 13.9 million), giving an EBITDA margin of 15.0 % (prior year: 15.6 %). Since items affecting comparability are no longer shown sepa- rately in the income statement, the respective prior year s sum of CHF 1.8 million was included in EBITDA. Adjusting for this effect, EBITDA in the prior year would have been CHF 12.1 million and the EBITDA margin 13.6 %. Market developments The division performed as expected in Europe and North America. It increased its market share in the emerging markets of South America and Asia.

11 SOLID BALANCE SHEET STABLE CASH FLOW Financial commentary Balance sheet equity ratio remains high Kaba s finances remain very solid. Total assets at 31 December 2013 came to CHF million (31 December 2012: CHF million). Cash and cash equivalents fell to CHF 85.1 million (31 December 2012: CHF million) owing to the dividend pay-out of CHF 41.9 million and the acquisition of the Chinese Shenzhen Probuck Technologies Co. Ltd. (CHF 24.9 million). Thanks to the new cash pooling activities, shortterm loans declined to CHF 76.6 million (31 December 2012: CHF million). The equity ratio of 61.0 % (31 December 2012: 55.5 %) remains well above the target range of 30.0 % to 40.0 %. Stable cash flow Operating cash flow was at prior-year level of CHF 64.7 million during the period under review. Owing to the acquisition in China, cash flow from investment activities increased to CHF 39.7 million (prior year: CHF 14.1 million). Free cash flow was at CHF 2.5 million (prior year: CHF 37.9 million). Cash flow from financing activities came to CHF 52.7 million (prior year: CHF 23.2 million) and included the higher dividend pay-out of CHF 41.9 million (prior year: CHF 34.2 million) as well as the reduction in financial liabilities. Notes on accounting practices During the under review, preparation of the income statement was switched from the nature of costs to the cost of sales method. The numbers of the previous periods were restated accordingly. Furthermore items affecting comparability are no longer shown separately in the income statement. On 27 February 2014, the Board of Directors decided to start using the Swiss GAAP FER accounting standard from the forthcoming financial year (at 1 July 2014, see The Interim Report 2013/2014 is available at 7
