Wir blicken mit Freude auf das abgelaufene Geschäftsjahr 2014 zurück. 2014 war das erfolgreichste Geschäftsjahr in der Geschichte der Megatech Industries AG seit 2009. Dass wir diesen Rückblick mit einem Superlativ beginnen, geschieht aus Respekt und Dankbarkeit gegenüber allen, die den Weg gemeinsam mit uns Es ist uns gelungen, gehen, die Verantwortung mit Opel, Porsche, gemeinsam mit uns schultern, die Entscheidungen Bentley und Volkswagen gemeinsam mit uns traund die Leistung geNutzfahrzeuge vier gen meinsam mit uns erbrinbedeutende Neukunden gen. Gemeinsam gehört daher auch der Erfolg zu gewinnen. uns und der Stolz auf den folgenden Superlativ: 2014 war das erfolgreichste Jahr in der Geschichte der MEGATECH Industries AG. Was uns im abgelaufenen Geschäftsjahr erfreute und ermutigte: Die Auftragslage auf dem europäischen Markt  Unsere europäischen Werke arbeiteten nahe ihrer Vollauslastung und erzielten dank vieler gelungener operativer Verbesserungen einen Gewinn nach Steuern.  Für drei Modelle von Audi – dem A3 Cabrio, dem TT und dem TT Cabrio – hatten wir 2014 Produktionsanläufe. Für diese Modelle produzieren wir u. a. die Heckklappenverkleidungen,

Heckscheibenrahmen, Ladekanten und Kofferraumverkleidungen.  Mit Opel, Porsche, Bentley und Volkswagen Nutzfahrzeuge konnten vier bedeutende Neukunden dazugewonnen werden.  Das Tech Center wächst unter neuer Leitung stetig weiter und ist dabei dank der anhaltend guten Auftragslage voll ausgelastet.  Im Jahresdurchschnitt hatten 1.400 Mitarbeiter einen sicheren und zukunftsträchtigen Arbeitsplatz innerhalb der verschiedenen Einheiten der MEGATECH Gruppe. Erfolgreiche strukturelle Verbesserungen  Das Forschungs- und Entwicklungsteam unseres Tech Centers ist ins Automotive Intelligence Center in Boroa bei Bilbao übersiedelt und kann hier endlich unter einem Dach entwickeln, die Projektabwicklung steuern und die notwendigen Prototypen fertigen.  Das baulich veraltete Werk Liberec wurde geschlossen und die Produktion, soweit wir sie weiterführen, in die Werke Hlinsko und Jablonec verlagert.  Im September wurde die neue Produktionshalle 100 in Hlinsko mit einem Tag der offenen Tür eröffnet. Mehr als 1.000 Besucher strömten an diesem Tag ins Werk.


MAXIMILIAN GESSLER Mitglied des Vorstandes der MEGATECH Industries AG

Die solide Finanzierungsbasis  W ir haben mit Česká spořitelna einen neuen Finanzierungspartner unserer tschechischen Werke gewonnen und dadurch die Finanzierung der laufenden und zukünftigen Projekte auf eine langfristig solide Basis gestellt.  Auch in Spanien hat sich die Finanzierung von Werkzeugen und Projektabwicklung erfreulich entwickelt. Der positive Trend spiegelt sich auch in der 2014 erfolgten Aktualisierung unseres Corporate Design und unseres Webauftrittes mit optimierter verbesserter Homepage. Der Aufsichtsrat der Gesellschaft hat im November 2014 Gerhard Pesout zum dritten Mitglied des Vorstands bestellt. Er gehört bereits seit September 2013 in seiner Funktion als Country Manager unserer tschechischen Werke dem Führungsteam an. Darüber hinaus wurde die systematische Verstärkung unseres Managements in allen Einheiten und Ländern weiter fortgesetzt. Im Bewusstsein, dass solche stolzen Erfolgsmeldungen erstens Momentaufnahmen sind und zweitens eigentlich schon die Vergangenheit abbilden, wenden wir uns der Gegenwart und Zukunft zu – und damit beträchtlichen Herausforderungen: So erfreulich das Geschäftsjahr 2015 für unsere europäischen Werke und das Tech Center begonnen hat: Unser Standort Brasilien bleibt leider ein Sorgenkind. Die schwierige wirtschaftliche Lage und die rückläufige Automobilproduktion in Brasilien haben unsere Bemühungen der vergangenen Jahre zunichte gemacht und dazu geführt, dass 2014 wieder ein Verlust verzeichnet werden musste.

Obwohl Brasilien ein für MEGATECH langfristig strategisch wichtiger Markt ist, müssen wir uns angesichts des derzeitigen schwierigen Marktumfeldes und der angespannten Wirtschaftslage vorbehalten, sämtliche Optionen zu überprüfen. Davon unbeeinträchtigt Große Anstrengungen bleiben unsere internationalen Expansionszie- werden notwendig sein, le: Wir wollen unser um unsere ehrgeizigen Unternehmen durch organisches Wachstum Ziele zu erreichen, und Akquisitionen wei- aber die Erfolge des ter ausbauen und bemühen uns deshalb ver- abgelaufenen Geschäftstärkt um internationale jahres machen Mut.

Wir danken allen KollegInnen, die durch ihre persönliche Leistung dazu beigetragen haben, von Herzen.

Die Highlights 2014 Ein ereignisreiches Geschäftsjahr als starkes Fundament für die kommenden Jahre. Megatech Industries AG Das abgelaufene Jahr 2014 war das erfolgreichste in der Geschichte der MEGATECH Industries AG. Alle Werke – mit Ausnahme des Werks in Brasilien – schlossen mit einem Gewinn nach Steuern ab. Die 2013 aufgebauten und initiierten Controlling- & Reportingprozesse inklusive der Implementierung einer eigenen Konsolidierungs- und Planungs-Software für alle Standorte konnten 2014 abgeschlossen werden. Somit sind sämtliche unserer Standorte in den Bereichen Controlling & Reporting auf kapitalmarktfähigem Niveau. Insbesondere aus Finanzierungssicht war 2014 ein besonders erfreuliches Jahr. Mittels einer erfolgreichen Umschuldung des Kredit-Portfolios in Tschechien ist die Refinanzierung gelungen.

gestartet und ausgebaut. Der Newsletter erscheint einmal im Monat und berichtet über Wissenswertes aus den Werken weltweit. Für die externe Kommunikation wurde erstmals ein Geschäftsbericht publiziert und die Webpage neu gestaltet.

Megatech Tech Center & Sales (Spanien) Das Tech Center wurde Anfang des Jahres nach Boroa bei Bilbao in das AIC-Automotive Intelligence Center – einem Forschungs- und Entwicklungszentrum für Firmen des Automobilsektors – ausgelagert. Dadurch war es uns möglich, die Forschung, Planung, Projektabwicklung und Prototypenfertigung an einem Standort konzentriert zusammenzufassen. Durch die gute Auftragslage war das Tech Center voll ausgelastet und konnte zusätzliche Mitarbeiter aufnehmen.

Im Bereich des Recruitings wurden unsere Management Teams in allen Ländern und Einheiten verstärkt. Mit Gerhard Pesout wurde im November 2014 ein drittes Mitglied in den Vorstand bestellt. Zuvor war Herr Pesout als Country Manager in Tschechien für MEGATECH tätig. 2014 wurde das MEGAWATT System weiter ausgebaut, ein Programm, bei dem alle Mitarbeiter dazu eingeladen werden, innovative Ideen einzureichen. Die besten Vorschläge werden in regelmäßigen Intervallen direkt in den Werken ausgewählt, umgesetzt und mit Preisen ausgezeichnet. Zur Verbesserung unserer internen Kommunikation haben wir den Firmennewsletter „Megazin Insider“

Megatech Industries Czech Republic

MEGATECH Industries Jablonec

Im ersten Halbjahr 2014 wurde das Werk in Liberec geschlossen und die Produktion, soweit sie weitergeführt wird, in die Werke Hlinsko und Jablonec verlagert. Für die Belegschaft des Werks MEGATECH Industries Liberec wurde ein Outplacement Programm entwickelt, um sie bei der Suche nach einer neuen Arbeitsstelle zu unterstützen. Einige Mitarbeiter konnten in anderen Standorten der MEGATECH Industries weiterbeschäftigt werden. Das Werk in Hlinsko verzeichnete zahlreiche Auftragseingänge von Peugeot, Volkswagen, Audi, Seat, Škoda, den Neukunden Porsche und Volkswagen Nutzfahrzeuge sowie von Automotive Lighting und Mahle Behr. Nach mehreren Jahren der Verluste verzeichneten beide Werke 2014 einen Gewinn, und das Werk Hlinsko konnte in diesem Jahr erstmals seine Mitarbeiterzahl erhöhen. Im September 2014 lud MEGATECH Industries in Hlinsko zum Tag der offenen Tür mit mehr als 1.000 Besuchern – in einer Stadt mit 10.000 Einwohnern. Im Zuge dessen wurde die renovierte Produktionshalle „Hall 100“ durch die Bürgermeisterin offiziell eröffnet. Das Werk wurde Sponsor der Eishockeymannschaft HC Hlinsko und des Kulturzentrums der Stadt.

MEGATECH Industries Peninsula Iberica (Spanien/Portugal) In unseren Werken in Spanien und Portugal wurden zahlreiche Verbesserungen des Produktionsablaufes vorgenommen, um sowohl die Qualität als auch die Produktivität zu steigern und gleichzeitig den Lagerbestand zu reduzieren. Hervorzuheben sind die erfreulichen Gewinne unserer Werke in Orense (Spanien) und Marinha Grande (Portugal). Die Werke der iberischen Halbinsel erhielten Aufträge von Peugeot für die Entwicklung und Herstellung eines innovativen, multifunktionellen VIP Tisches – einer Mittelkonsole für Fahrzeuge mit gehobener Ausstattung. Erfreulich ist weiters die Erweiterung der Kunden um zwei namhafte Autohersteller mit Bentley und Opel, für die bedeutende Umfänge für den Fahrzeuginnenraum hergestellt werden.

Neben der Optimierung der Arbeitsabläufe wurde auch in die Verbesserung der Ausstattung investiert.

Der Vorstand der MEGATECH Industries AG, Maximilian Gessler (Group CEO), Rainer Dieck (Group CFO) und Gerhard Pesout (Group COO) im Gespräch über das vergangene Geschäftsjahr, aktuelle Pläne und künftige Herausforderungen. Ein kurzer Rückblick auf das Geschäftsjahr 2014 ... Maximilian Gessler: 2014 war erfreulicherweise ein sehr erfolgreiches Geschäftsjahr, in dem es uns gelungen ist, einen Großteil unserer Vorhaben umzusetzen. Wir haben mit einer einzigen Ausnahme an allen Standorten Gewinne Der Auftragseingang erzielt, waren aber auch 2014 hat ausschließlich auf nicht operativen Gebieten erfolgreich: bei der neue Automodelle Akquisition neuer Aufträge, betroffen, was uns beim Refinanzierungen oder der Verbesserung aller Prozesse.

Anlaufen der Produktion 2015 und 2016 entsprechend stark steigende Umsätze einbringen wird.

Geschäftsbericht 2014 | Seite 18

Rainer Dieck: Insbesondere auch aus Finanzierungssicht war es ein erfreuliches Jahr, da uns die erfolgreiche Umschuldung eines 25 Mio. EUR Kredit-Portfolios in Tschechien gelungen ist.

Durch diese Refinanzierung sowie die gute Geschäftsentwicklung im letzten Jahr haben sich die Voraussetzungen für eine stabile Finanzierungstruktur in der gesamten Gruppe deutlich verbessert. Die Banken sehen MEGATECH mittlerweile wieder als verlässlichen Partner an. Leider verlief die Entwicklung unseres Standortes in Brasilien kritisch. Dort ist es ab Februar 2014 zu einem dramatischen Markteinbruch gekommen, der in dieser Form von niemandem vorhergesehen werden konnte. GERHARD PESOUT: Obwohl ich erst seit Kurzem bei MEGATECH bin, waren 2014 im Vergleich zu 2013 die Optimierung der Organisation in Tschechien mit entsprechend besseren Ergebnissen und die Vorbereitung auf die nunmehr angelaufenen und anstehenden neuen Aufträge positive Highlights für mich. Wir haben durch unsere bessere Leistung an Attraktivität für Kunden und nicht zuletzt auch für Banken gewonnen. Worin erkennt ein Unternehmen seine eigene Attraktivität? GESSLER: Anhand der Bewerbungen – daran, dass wir für interessante Leute attraktiv werden. Wir haben im vergangenen Jahr deutlich gemerkt, dass wir auch von Menschen, die bei etablierten


A-Klasse-Unternehmen tätig sind oder waren, als interessanter Arbeitgeber wahrgenommen werden. So ist auch Gerhard Pesout zu uns gestoßen, der seine Karriere nach jahrelanger Tätigkeit bei Ford, Volvo, Bosch und zuletzt bei Faurecia nun bei uns fortsetzt. Worin lag 2014 das Hauptaugenmerk bei den Investitionen? Gessler: Der Auftragseingang 2014 hat ausschließlich neue Automodelle betroffen, was uns beim Anlaufen der Produktion 2015 und 2016 entsprechend stark steigende Umsätze einbringen wird. In der Entwicklungs- und Vorbereitungsphase bedingen solche Neuaufträge ein entsprechendes Investitionsvolumen, etwa in Entwicklung, Werkzeuge, Maschinen oder Gebäude, wie es im vergangenen Jahr am Standort Hlinsko geschehen ist. Dieck: Ein Schwerpunkt aus meiner Sicht war, dass wir wieder verstärkt aus dem eigenen Cashflow investieren konnten. Die hierzu notwendige Innenfinanzierungskraft haben wir uns durch gute operative Ergebnisse in den einzelnen Werken erarbeitet. Neben Investitionen in Maschinen und Gebäude konnten wir im letzten Jahr auch in den IT-Bereichen unserer tschechischen und spanischen Werke weitreichende

Verbesserungen durchführen. In diese Richtung wird auch 2015 weitergearbeitet. Aus heutiger Sicht können wir feststellen, dass alle notwenAudi TT Coupé und digen Investitionen für 2015 bereits weitgehend TT Cabrio waren wohl mit entsprechenden Fidie aufsehenerregendsten nanzierungszusagen abgesichert sind.

Operational Excellence an allen Standorten ist unser gesetztes Ziel. Für welche 2014 auf dem Markt erschienen Modelle wird von MEGATECH zugeliefert? Gessler: Audi TT Coupé und TT Cabrio waren wohl die aufsehenerregendsten Modelle 2014, und die Produktion für den ebenfalls von uns belieferten Audi Q7 wird demnächst starten. Darüber hinaus produzieren wir am Standort Hlinkso auch für Tier 2 Lieferanten.

Geschäftsbericht 2014 | Seite 19


Hat das 2013 neu aufgesetzte Controlling im vergangenen Jahr bereits vollständig gegriffen oder ist dieser Prozess noch in Entwicklung? DIECK: Die 2013 aufgebauten und initiierten Prozesse inklusive der Implementierung einer Konsolidierungs- und Planungs-Software für alle Standorte sind praktisch abgeschlossen. Wir haben somit, bezogen auf die Reporting-Qualität, das erreicht, was ich gerne „Capital Market Standard“ nenne. Für eine mittelständische UnternehWir haben somit, mensgruppe ist das ungeWir können heute bezogen auf die wöhnlich. bereits auf Werks-, LänderReporting-Qualität, das oder Gruppenebene monatGewinn- und Verlusterreicht, was ich liche rechnungen, Bilanzen und gerne „Capital Market Cash Flows zeigen. Regional gibt es noch VerbesserungsStandard“ nenne. bedarf, insbesondere in Accounting-Prozessen. Zusätzliche Schwerpunkte werden heuer auf IT-Security und Risk Management liegen.

Geschäftsbericht 2014 | Seite 20

Welche neuen Entwicklungen oder Anwendungen wurden 2014 produktseitig umgesetzt? PESOUT: Vor allem Verbesserungen im Leichtbau sind ein ständiges Thema und oft mit längerer Vorlaufzeit zu behandeln, weil die Erkenntnisse aus Großserienversuchen umgesetzt werden müssen. Die neue europäische Gesetzgebung zwingt die Automobilhersteller derzeit zu massiven Gewichtseinsparungen. MEGATECH ist heute in der Lage, im Kunststoffspritzverfahren Produkte mit hohen dekorativen Anforderungen im Sichtbereich anzubieten, wobei Gewichtseinsparungen bis zu 30 Prozent möglich sind. Mit diesem Prozess ermöglichen wir ein bedeutendes Potential für die Produktion. Und auch für die kommenden Jahre arbeiten wir aktiv an weiteren Neuentwicklungen. Hat es im vergangenen Jahr Veränderungen bei den Unternehmensanteilen gegeben? GESSLER: Ich habe 2014 zwei meiner drei ehemaligen Partner ausgekauft und deren Anteile er-


worben. Ich gehe davon aus, dass ich die übrigen Anteile im laufenden Jahr erwerben kann – ein wichtiger Punkt für die langfristige Planung und Stabilität im Unternehmen. Wirken sich Schwankungen im Neuwagengeschäft in Europa auf die Auftragslage aus? DIECK: Unser Geschäft ist nicht an öffentlich wahrgenommenen Wirtschaftszyklen im Automobilbereich festzumachen. Wenn der Automarkt sich weltweit um einige Prozentsätze auf oder ab verändert, wirken sich diese Schwankungen nicht automatisch in gleichem Umfang auf unser Geschäft aus. Es hängt alles davon ab, für welche Modelle wir von welchen Werken aus beliefern. Hierbei gibt es sozusagen für jedes Werk einen eigenen Konjunkturzyklus, der nicht zwingend den globalen Entwicklungen folgt. GESSLER: Trotz der Wirtschaftskrise der letzten drei Jahre in Spanien und Portugal ist es uns dort vom Volumen her dank unserer Zulieferaufträ-

ge für den Volkswagen Golf, den Polo, den Seat Leon sehr gut ergangen. Die PSA-Gruppe hatte zuletzt nicht immer nur erfreuliche Schlagzeilen. Für uns verläuft die Zusammen- Trotz der Wirtschaftskrise arbeit durch die Fertigung in Spanien und Portugal von Teilen für den Citroën Picasso aber durchaus posi- ist es uns dort dank tiv. Auch Modelle wie Citrounserer Zulieferaufträge ën C-Elysée, Peugeot 301 und Citroën Cactus sorgen für den Volkswagen für durchwegs erfreuliche Golf VII, den Polo V Volumina. Demnach wurden die Erwartungen hinsichtlich des Anlaufens von neuen Aufträgen erfüllt?

oder den Seat Leon sehr gut ergangen.

GESSLER: Die im Vorjahr in Verhandlung stehenden Aufträge wurden akquiriert, wir stehen jetzt in der Produktentwicklung. Die Produktionsstarts erfolgen zwischen 2015 bis Anfang 2017.

Geschäftsbericht 2014 | Seite 21


Ein vorsichtiger Ausblick auf Neugeschäfte, für die 2015 ein Abschluss zu erwarten ist? GESSLER: Im deutschen Premiumsegment wollen wir uns stärker aufstellen und arbeiten auch in diese Richtung. Wir sprechen hier derzeit allerdings von strategischer Planung, da es Produktionen betrifft, die ab 2018/2019 anlaufen können. Die Zusammenarbeit mit BMW/Mini ist zukunftsträchtig, die Beziehungen zum Volkswagen Konzern und Peugeot sind weiter ausbaufähig, ebenso wie jene zu unseren strategisch wichtigen Systemlieferanten. DIECK: Zudem geht der Trend dahin, dass unsere Kunden häufiger größere Auftragspakete für Fahrzeuggruppen auf derselben Plattform oder für mehrere verschiedene Fahrzeuge vergeben. Das bedeutet höhere Volumina, aber auch eine größere Herausforderung bei der Kapazitätsplanung und Finanzierung. PESOUT: An dieser Stelle ist zu erwähnen, dass wir mit Schneider Electric auch einen Nicht-Automotive Kunden haben, für den wir u.a. elektrische Spulen fertigen – eine jahrelange und stabile Geschäftsbeziehung, die ebenfalls Ausbaumög-

lichkeiten bietet. Der Vorteil ist, dass diese Produkte im Vergleich zu Automotive-Produkten sehr langlebige Produktionszeiten haben, da an einem Schaltschrank nur selten Änderungen vorgenommen werden. Ist das Zuliefern an einen der Big Player mit hohem Marktanteil für die Neukundenakquise hinderlich oder eine Empfehlung? GESSLER: Das ist eine Empfehlung, weil die außerordentlichen Qualitätsansprüche eines Großkunden in der Branche gut bekannt sind. Wer diese dauerhaft und in großen Stückzahlen erfüllen kann, außerdem ein Produktportfolio vom Nutzfahrzeug bis zur Luxusklasse aufweist, empfiehlt sich damit automatisch auch für jeden Kunden. Da wir es schaffen, seit dem Golf IV durchgehend die Qualitäts- und Logistik-Herausforderungen für mehr als 600.000 Fahrzeuge pro Jahr zu schaffen, trauen uns auch andere Kunden sehr viel zu. PESOUT: Bevorzugter Zulieferer für einen Großkonzern zu sein, ist sicherlich eine Referenz, das macht sich gut im CV eines Zulieferers. Auch das ist wieder ein Attraktivitäts-Plus.


Wie ist nunmehr die Finanzierung bei der MEGATECH-Holding und den Tochtergesellschaften geregelt? GESSLER: Großvolumige Finanzierungen im Bereich der Holding anzusiedeln und damit aus den lokalen Gesellschaften rauszuholen, ist ein Projekt, das wir im vergangen Jahr gestartet haben. DIECK: Diesen Weg wollen wir auch weiter verfolgen. Voraussetzung dafür ist jedoch ein kapitalmarktfähiges Rating auf Konzernebene. Da sind wir auf einem guten Weg. Wir lassen uns aber auch alle anderen Optionen offen – unter bestimmten Voraussetzungen kann es auch vorteilhafter sein, Finanzierungen lokal aufzustellen. Insgesamt streben wir die höchstmögliche Flexibilität bei geringstmöglichen Finanzierungskosten an, und zwar sowohl bezogen auf die Finanzierungsstruktur insgesamt als auch in jedem einzelnen Finanzierungsvertrag. Große Finanzierungsvolumina werden aber wohl künftig eher auf Holding-Ebene zu platzieren sein.

Eine Vision für MEGATECH bis 2025 ... GESSLER: Wir haben eine Reihe von praktischen Aufgaben. Die Konsolidierung der Niederlassung in Brasilien wird nur Hand in Hand mit einer Erholung der gesamten brasilianischen Volkswirtschaft gelingen. Immerhin handelt es sich um Da wir es schaffen, seit einen Heimmarkt von mehr als 200 Millionen Menschen dem Golf IV durchgeund einem entsprechenden hend die Qualitäts- und Bedarf an Fahrzeugen, das Potenzial ist also da.

Joint Management Meeting Ein Fixpunkt der MEGATECH-Gruppe sind die zweimal jährlich stattfindenden Joint Management Meetings (JMM), bei denen der Vorstand, die Landesmanager sowie Werks- und Abteilungsleiter aller Standorte zusammentreffen.

Das erste Joint Management Meeting 2014 fand im Mai in Marinha Grande in Portugal statt und stand unter dem Motto „Lean Development“, wobei die verstärkten Synergien zwischen dem Tech Center und den Werken diskutiert wurden. Während einer Werksführung in MEGATECH Industries Marinha Grande wurden die umfangreichen Modernisierungsarbeiten in der Produktion präsentiert. Im Rahmen des Treffens wurde dem Werk Hlinsko die Auszeichnung „Best Factory 2013“ sowie dem Werk in Brasiien der Preis „Best Improvement 2013“ verliehen.

In dreitätigen Workshops und Diskussionsrunden werden Erfahrungen und neue Ideen ausgetauscht, aktuelle Themen behandelt sowie Implementierungspläne für weitere strategische Projekte entwickelt. Die Joint Management Meetings finden in der Nähe eines unserer Produktionsstandorte oder Büros statt, um es allen Teilnehmern zu ermöglichen, die Projektumsetzungen in den Werken regelmäßig vor Ort mitverfolgen zu können.

Im November 2014 lud das technische Büro in Rumänien nach Bukarest zum zweiten Joint Management Meeting des Jahres. Bei diesem Treffen lag der Schwerpunkt auf dem Thema Kostenoptimierung. Im Zuge dessen wurde bei einem eigenen Workshop zum Thema „Smart Optimization“ die optimale Nutzung der Mitarbeiter-Ressourcen erörtert. Die Teilnehmer des JMM erarbeiteten in fünf Gruppen Optimierungspläne in unterschiedlichen Bereichen – wie Einkauf und Vertragsmanagement, der optimalen Verwendung von Geldmitteln oder Risikomanagement.

Corporate Social Responsibility: Megahoney

Im Herbst 2011 wurden auf dem Gelände des Werks Hlinsko fünf Bienenvölker angesiedelt, die von einem erfahrenen Imker betreut werden. Der gewonnene Honig – unser Megahoney – ist ein beliebtes Geschenk für Kunden und Besucher. Das Jahr 2014 war somit für das Werk nicht nur in der Produktion der Kunststoffteile äußerst erfolgreich, sondern auch in der Honigernte mit 350 Gläsern feinstem Blüten- und Waldhonig.

Dezember 2014 nach den geltenden gesetzlichen Bestimmungen der §§ 268 ff. UGB sowie eine freiwillige Prüfung des IFRS Konzernabschlusses zum 31. Dezember 2014 nach den International Standards on Auditing (ISA) vorgenommen.

Die Prüfung hat nach ihrem abschließenden Ergebnis keinen Anlass zu Beanstandungen ergeben. Der Abschlussprüfer hat daher bestätigt, dass der Jahresabschluss der Megatech lndustries AG samt Lagebericht des Vorstandes sowie der Konzernabschluss samt Konzernlageberichts des Vorstands des Megatech lndustries Konzerns nach IFRS den gesetzlichen Bestimmungen entsprechen. Sie vermitteln unter der Beachtung ordnungsgemäßer Buchführung ein möglichst getreues Bild der Vermögens-, Finanz- und Ertragslage der Gesellschaft und ihrer Tochtergesellschaften.

Gesch채ftsbericht 2014 | Seite 48


2 Summary of significant accounting policies The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless stated otherwise.

2.1 Basis of preparation The consolidated financial statements of the group have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards and IFRIC interpretations as adopted by the EU. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by the revaluation of available-for-sale financial assets, and financial assets and financial liabilities (including derivative instruments) at fair value through profit or loss. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the group’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated financial statements are disclosed in note 4.

2.2.1 Changes in accounting policy and disclosures 2.1.1.1 New standards, amendments and interpretations adopted by the group IFRS 10, ‘Consolidated financial statements’, builds on existing principles by identifying the concept of control as the determining factor in whether an entity should be included in the consolidated financial statements of the parent company. The standard provides additional guidance to assist in the determination of control where this is difficult to assess. IFRS 10 does not have a material impact on the groups consolidated financial statements. IFRS 11, ‘Joint arrangements’, focuses on the rights and obligations of the parties to the arrangement rather than its legal form. There are two types of joint arrangements: joint operations and joint ventures. Joint operations arise where the investors have rights to the assets and obligations for the liabilities of an arrangement. A joint operator accounts for its share of the assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. Joint ventures arise where the investors have rights to the net assets of the arrangement; joint ventures are accounted for under the equity method. Proportional consolidation of joint arrangements is no longer permitted. IFRS 11 does not have a material impact on the group’s consolidated financial statements. IFRS 12, ‘Disclosures of interests in other entities’, includes the disclosure requirements for all forms of interests in other entities, including joint arrangements, associates, structured entities and other offbalance sheet vehicles. IFRS 12 does not have a material impact on the group’s consolidated financial statements.

Geschäftsbericht 2014 | Seite 49


2.1.1.2 New standards and interpretations not yet adopted A number of new standards and amendments to standards and interpretations are effective for annual periods beginning after 1 January 2015, and have not been applied in preparing these consolidated financial statements. None of these is expected to have a significant effect on the consolidated financial statements of the group, except the following set out below: IFRS 9, ‘Financial instruments’, addresses the classification, measurement and recognition of financial assets and financial liabilities. The complete version of IFRS 9 was issued in July 2014. It replaces the guidance in IAS 39 that relates to the classification and measurement of financial instruments. IFRS 9 retains but simplifies the mixed measurement model and establishes three primary measurement categories for financial assets: amortised cost, fair value through OCI and fair value through P&L. The basis of classification depends on the entity’s business model and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset. Investments in equity instruments are required to be measured at fair value through profit or loss with the irrevocable option at inception to present changes in fair value in OCI not recycling. There is now a new expected credit losses model that replaces the incurred loss impairment model used in IAS 39. For financial liabilities there were no changes to classification and measurement except for the recognition of changes in own credit risk in other comprehensive income, for liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss. IFRS 9 relaxes the requirements for hedge effectiveness by replacing the bright line hedge effectiveness tests. It requires an economic relationship between the hedged item and hedging instrument and for the ‘hedged ratio’ to be the same as the one management actually use for risk management purposes. Contemporaneous documentation is still required but is different to that currently prepared under IAS 39. The standard is effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The group is yet to assess IFRS 9’s full impact. IFRS 15, ‘Revenue from contracts with customers’, deals with revenue recognition and establishes principles for reporting useful information to users of financial statements about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from an entity’s contracts with customers. Revenue is recognised when a customer obtains control of a good or service and thus has the ability to direct the use and obtain the benefits from the good or service. The standard replaces IAS 18 ‘Revenue’ and IAS 11, ‘Construction contracts’, and related interpretations. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2017, and earlier application is permitted. The group is assessing the impact of IFRS 15. There are no other IFRSs or IFRIC interpretations that are not yet effective that would be expected to have a material impact on the Group.

2.2 Consolidation Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) over which the group has control. The group controls an entity when the group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the group. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases. As of 31 December 2014 and 31 December 2013 the group has 100% of shares and voting rights of all subsidiaries included in the scope of consolidation. The group uses the acquisition method to account for business combinations. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary is the fair value of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred to the former owners of the acquiree and the equity interests issued by the group. The consideration transferred includes the fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair value at the acquisition date. The group recognises any non-controlling interest in the acquiree on an acquisition-by-acquisition basis, either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the recognised amounts of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. The excess of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the acquisition-date fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquiree over the fair value of the group’s share of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. If this is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired in the case of a bargain purchase, the difference is recognised in the income statement. Transactions with non-controlling interests that do not result in loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions – that is, as transactions with the owners in their capacity as owners. The difference between the fair value of any consideration paid and the relevant share acquired of the carrying value of net assets of the subsidiary is recorded in equity. Gains or losses on disposals to non-controlling interests are also recorded in equity. When the group ceases to have control any retained interest in the entity is remeasured to its fair value at the date when control is lost, with the change in carrying amount recognised in profit or loss. The fair value is the initial carrying amount for the purposes of subsequently accounting for the retained interest as an associate, joint venture or financial asset. In addition, any amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in respect of that entity are accounted for as if the group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. This may mean that amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss. Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between group companies are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the group.

2.3 Foreign currency translation 2.3.1 Functional and presentation currency Items included in the financial statements of each of the group’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (‘the functional currency’). The consolidated financial statements are presented in thousands of euro (kEUR), which is the group’s presentation currency. 2.3.2 Transactions and balances Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions or valuation where items are remeasured. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the income statement, except when deferred in other comprehensive income as qualifying cash flow hedges and qualifying net investment hedges. Foreign exchange gains and losses that relate to borrowings and cash and cash equivalents are presented in the income statement under ‘other financial results’. All other foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the income statement under ‘other income’ / ‘other expenses’. Changes in the fair value of monetary securities denominated in foreign currency classified as available-for-sale are determined on the basis of translation differences resulting from changes in the amortised cost of the security and other changes in the carrying amount of the security. Translation differences relating to changes in amortised cost are recognised in profit or loss, and other changes in carrying amount are recognised in other comprehensive income. Translation differences in non-monetary financial assets and liabilities such as equities held at fair value through profit or loss are recognised in profit or loss as part of the fair value gain or loss. Translation differences in non-monetary financial assets such as equities classified as available-forsale are included in other comprehensive income. 2.3.3 Group companies The results and financial position of all the group entities (none of which has the currency of a hyperinflationary economy) that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:  assets and liabilities for each balance sheet presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of that balance sheet;  income and expenses for each income statement are translated at average exchange rates (unless this average is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at the rate on the dates of the transactions); and  all resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income.

Geschäftsbericht 2014 | Seite 54


On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of the net investment in foreign operations, and of borrowings and other currency instruments designated as hedges of such investments, are posted to other comprehensive income. When a foreign operation is partially disposed of or sold, exchange rate differences that were recorded in equity are recognised in the income statement as part of the gain or loss on sale. Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising from the acquisition of a foreign entity are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign entity and translated at the closing rate.

2.4 Property, plant and equipment Land and buildings comprise mainly factories and offices. Property, plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less depreciation. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of these items. Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of a replaced part is derecognised. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the income statement during the financial period in which they are incurred. Borrowing costs are only capitalised when they are directly attributable to the acquisition or production of a qualifying asset as part of the asset, all other borrowing costs are recognised as an expense in the period in which they occur. Land is not depreciated. Depreciation on other assets is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate their cost to their residual value over their estimated useful lives, as follows:

Buildings Machinery Forklifts Vehicles Furniture, fittings and equipment

25-33 years 5-15 years 5 years 3-5 years 3-10 years

The residual values and useful lives of assets are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period. An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the carrying amount is greater than the estimated recoverable amount. Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognised under ‘other income’ or ‘other expenses’ in the income statement.

Geschäftsbericht 2014 | Seite 55


2.5 Intangible assets 2.5.1 Trademarks Acquired trademark rights are capitalised on the basis of the costs incurred to acquire and bring to use those rights. These costs are amortised over their estimated useful lives of ten years. 2.5.2 Research and development cost No intangible asset is recognised in the research phase. The expenditure is recognised as an expense when it is incurred. An intangible asset arising from development is only recognised if the company can demonstrate all of the following:  the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale;  its intention to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it;  its ability to use or sell the intangible asset;  how the intangible asset will generate probable future economic benefits;  the availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the intangible asset;  the ability to reliably measure the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development. Directly attributable costs that are capitalised as part of the projects include employee costs, material costs, external costs and an appropriate portion of relevant overheads. Development costs recognised are amortised on a straight-line basis over the project period related to the development costs, usually not exceeding six years. 2.5.3 Software licences Acquired computer software licences are capitalised on the basis of the costs incurred to acquire and bring to use the specific software. These costs are amortised over their estimated useful lives of three to five years. 2.5.4 Contractual customer relationships Contractual customer relationships acquired in a business combination are recognised at fair value at the acquisition date. The contractual customer relations have a finite useful life of 15 years and are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation. Amortisation is calculated using the straight-line method over the expected life of the customer relationship. 2.5.5 Patents Self-developed patents whose fair value can be measured reliably are capitalised based either on an expert valuation or on the expected turnover which will be generated with the patent. Amortisation is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate the cost of patents over their estimated useful life. The useful life is based on the project time period for which the patents were developed usually not exceeding six years.

Geschäftsbericht 2014 | Seite 56


2.6 Impairment of non-financial assets Assets that have an indefinite useful life – for example, goodwill or intangible assets not ready for use – are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually for impairment. Assets that are subject to amortisation are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purpose of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash-generating units). Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered an impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each reporting date.

2.7 Financial assets 2.7.1 Classification The group classifies its financial assets in the following categories: at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables, and available for sale. The classification depends on the purpose for which the financial assets were acquired. Management determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are financial assets held for trading. A financial asset is classified in this category if acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the short term. Derivatives are also categorised as held for trading unless they are designated as hedges. Assets in this category are classified as current assets if expected to be settled within 12 months; otherwise, they are classified as non-current. Loans and receivables Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They are included in current assets, except for maturities greater than 12 months after the end of the reporting period. These are classified as non-current assets. The group’s loans and receivables comprise ‘trade receivables’, ‘other receivables’ and ‘cash and cash equivalents’ in the balance sheet. Available-for-sale financial assets Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivatives that are either designated in this category or not classified in any of the other categories. They are included in non-current assets unless the investment matures or management intends to dispose of it within 12 months after the end of the reporting period.

Geschäftsbericht 2014 | Seite 57


2.7.2 Recognition and measurement Regular purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on the trade date – the date on which the group commits to purchase or sell the asset. Investments are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs for all financial assets not carried at fair value through profit or loss. Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the investments have expired or have been transferred and the group has substantially transferred all risks and rewards of ownership. Available-for-sale financial assets and financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are subsequently carried at fair value. Loans and receivables are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss are initially recognised at fair value, any transaction costs are expensed in the income statement. When securities classified as available-for-sale are sold or impaired, the accumulated fair value adjustments recognised in equity are included in the income statement as ‘gains and losses from investment securities’. Interest on available-for-sale securities calculated using the effective interest method is recognised in the income statement as part of other income. Dividends on available-forsale equity instruments are recognised in the income statement as part of financial result when the group’s right to receive payments is established. Changes in fair value are recognised as gains and losses in comprehensive income. 2.7.3 Offsetting financial instruments Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the balance sheet when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. The legally enforceable right must not be contingent on future events and must be enforceable in the normal course of business and in the event of default, insolvency or bankruptcy of the company or the counterparty. The group did not offset any amounts in 2014 and 2013 except one transaction with related parties (see note 35.1 for details).

2.8 Impairment of financial assets 2.8.1 Assets carried at amortised cost The group assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired. A financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired and impairment losses are incurred only if there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (a ‘loss event’) and that loss event (or events) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated.

Geschäftsbericht 2014 | Seite 58


The criteria that the group uses to determine that there is objective evidence of an impairment loss include:  significant financial difficulty of the issuer or obligor;  a breach of contract, such as default or delinquency in interest or principal payments;  the group, for economic or legal reasons relating to the borrower’s financial difficulty, granting to the borrower a concession that the lender would not otherwise consider;  the probability that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation;  the disappearance of an active market for that financial asset because of financial difficulties; or  observable data indicating that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows from a portfolio of financial assets since the initial recognition of those assets, although the decrease cannot yet be identified with the individual financial assets in the portfolio, including adverse changes in the payment status of borrowers in the portfolio; and  national or local economic conditions that correlate with defaults on the assets in the portfolio. For the loans and receivables category, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred) discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate. The carrying amount of the asset is reduced and the amount of the loss is recognised in the income statement. If a loan or investment held to maturity has a variable interest rate, the discount rate for measuring any impairment loss is the current effective interest rate determined under the contract. If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised (such as an improvement in the debtor’s credit rating), the reversal of the previously recognised impairment loss is recognised in the income statement.

2.8.2 Assets classified as available-for-sale The group assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. For debt securities, the group uses the criteria referred to under ‘assets carried at amortised cost’ above. In the case of equity investments classified as available for sale, a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of the security below its cost is also evidence that the assets are impaired. If any such evidence exists for available-for-sale financial assets, the cumulative loss – measured as the difference between the acquisition cost and the current fair value, less any impairment loss on that financial asset previously recognised in profit or loss – is removed from equity and recognised in profit or loss. Impairment losses recognised in the consolidated income statement on equity instruments are not reversed through the consolidated income statement. If, in a subsequent period, the fair value of a debt instrument classified as available for sale increases and the increase can be objectively related to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised in profit or loss, the impairment loss is reversed through the consolidated income statement.

Geschäftsbericht 2014 | Seite 59


2.9 Derivative financial instruments The group does not use hedge accounting pursuant to IAS 39, therefore all derivative financial instruments are classified as derivatives. Changes in fair value are recognised as gains and losses in the income statement. Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured at their fair value.

2.10 Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is determined using the firstin, first-out (FIFO) method. The cost of finished goods and work in progress comprises direct material costs, direct production costs and production overheads (based on normal operating capacity). Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less applicable variable selling expenses.

2.11 Trade receivables Trade receivables are amounts due from customers for merchandise and products sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business. If collection is expected in one year or less, they are classified as current assets. If not, they are presented as non-current assets. Trade receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment.

2.12 Cash and cash equivalents In the consolidated statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks.

2.13 Registered capital Registered capital is classified as equity.

2.14 Trade payables Trade payables are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Trade accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade payables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Gesch채ftsbericht 2014 | Seite 60


2.15 Borrowings Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently carried at amortised cost; any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognised in the income statement over the period of the financial liabilities using the effective interest method.

2.16 Current and deferred income tax The tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the income statement, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively. The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date in the countries where the company and its subsidiaries operate and generate taxable income. Deferred income tax is recognised, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled. Deferred income tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised. Deferred income tax is applied to temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries, except for deferred income tax liability where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by the group and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when the deferred income taxes assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities where there is an intention to settle the balances on a net basis.

2.17 Employee benefits 2.17.1 Severance payments Some group companies pay a severance payment in case of retirement after an uninterrupted period of service of five years to their employees. These benefits are classified as a defined benefit obligation and accounted for accordingly using the projected unit credit method. Actuarial gains and losses are recognised in other comprehensive income in the period incurred. Legal regulations in Austria require employers to make regular contributions equal to 1.53% of their monthly salary to a statutory termination benefit scheme for all employees who joined an Austrian company during or after 2003. The company has no further obligations. Claims by employees to severance payments are filed with the statutory severance payment scheme, while the regular contributions are treated similar to those for defined contribution plans and are included in ‘employee benefit expenses’. 2.17.2 Anniversary payments Some group companies pay an anniversary bonus to their employees after an uninterrupted period of service. These benefits are classified as a defined benefit obligation and accounted for accordingly using the projected unit credit method. Actuarial gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss in the period incurred. 2.17.3 Bonus payments The group recognises a liability and an expense for bonuses based on the expected bonus payments for the relevant year. The group recognises a provision where contractually obliged or where there is a past practice that has created a constructive obligation.

2.18 Provisions Provisions for environmental restoration, legal claims, onerous contracts, etc. are recognised when:  the group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events;  it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation; and  the amount has been reliably estimated. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses. Provisions are measured at the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation using a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the obligation. The increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as an interest expense.

2.19 Government grants Government grants relating to capital expenditure projects are treated as deferred income and released to the income statement over the expected useful lives of the assets for which the government grants are provided.

Geschäftsbericht 2014 | Seite 62


2.20 Revenue recognition Revenue comprises the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for the sale of goods and services in the ordinary course of the group’s activities. Revenue is shown net of value-added tax, returns, rebates and discounts and after eliminating sales within the group. A sale is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have passed to the buyer. This is when title and insurance risk have passed to the customer and the goods have been delivered to a contractually agreed location. Interest income is recognised using the effective interest method. When a loan and receivable is impaired, the group reduces the carrying amount to its recoverable amount, which is the estimated future cash flow discounted at the original effective interest rate of the instrument, and continues unwinding the discount as interest income. Interest income on impaired loans and receivables is recognised using the original effective interest rate.

2.21 Non-recurring items Non-recurring items are those material items of financial performance that the group believes should be separately disclosed in the income statement to assist in the understanding of the underlying financial performance achieved by the group and its businesses. Such items are material by nature or affect the financial year’s results and require separate disclosure in accordance with IAS 1. Nonrecurring items that relate to the operating performance of the group comprise restructuring costs.

2.22 Leases Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are charged to the income statement on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease. The group leases certain equipment. Leases of equipment where the group bears substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. Finance leases are capitalised at the lease’s commencement at the lower of the fair value of the leased equipment and the present value of the minimum lease payments. Each lease payment is divided between the liability and finance charges. The corresponding rental obligations, net of finance charges, are included in other non-current liabilities. The interest element of the finance cost is charged to the income statement over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period. The equipment acquired under finance leases is depreciated over the shorter of the useful life of the asset and the lease term.

3 Financial risk management 3.1 Financial risk factors The group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including foreign exchange currency risk, fair value interest rate risk, cash flow interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The group’s overall risk management programme focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the group’s financial performance. If required, the group uses derivative financial instruments to hedge certain risk exposures. Risk management is carried out centrally by the group’s management. The following sensitivity analyses are based on a change in an assumption while holding all other assumptions constant. In practice, this is unlikely to occur, and changes in some of the assumptions may be correlated.

3.1.1 Market risk Foreign exchange risk The group operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising primarily from the Czech crown and the Brazilian real. Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions and bank loans in other currencies than the functional currency. Management has set up a policy to require group companies to manage their foreign exchange risk against their functional currency with internal hedging as far as possible. Furthermore, developments in foreign currencies are passed on to customers with a certain time delay. Group management will coordinate any additional hedging that may be necessary. The following exchange rates were used:

Total foreign exchange losses in 2014 amounted to kEUR -314 (2013: kEUR -1,972). There were no hedging instruments in place in 2014 and 2013, because loss is not cash effective and management decided not to use hedging instruments that cause high cash outflows upfront. At 31 December 2014, if the exchange rate of the Czech crown had increased additionally by 5.0% with all other variables held constant, profit before tax would have been kEUR -907 lower (2013: kEUR -1,035). There are no material risks in other currencies (including BRL).

Geschäftsbericht 2014 | Seite 66


Cash flow and fair value interest rate risk The group’s interest rate risk arises from non-current financial liabilities. Financial liabilities issued at variable rates expose the group to cash flow interest rate risk which is partially offset by cash held at variable rates. At the end of 2014, almost all of the group’s financial liabilities were denominated in euro. At 31 December 2014, if the EURIBOR had increased additionally by 0.5%-points with all other variables held constant, profit before tax would have been kEUR -80 lower (2013: kEUR -115). There are no material risks in any other underlying.

3.1.2 Credit risk The group’s credit risk is mainly confined to the risk of customers defaulting on sales invoices raised. Any credit risk arising from cash deposits and derivative financial instruments is deemed to be insignificant on the basis that nearly all relevant counterparties are investment grade entities recognised by international credit-rating agencies. Each local entity is responsible for managing and analysing the credit risk for each of their new customers before standard payment and delivery terms and conditions are offered. Main customers of the group are the big automotive producers with regard to which credit risk is considered low. The maximum risk to the group is the carrying amount.

3.1.3 Commodity price risk The group is exposed to commodity price risks as main raw materials can only be purchased on the spot markets and no commodity hedges are available. Price fluctuations can partly be passed on to customers, depending on the contractual relationship.

3.1.4 Liquidity risk Liquidity risk is the risk that the group could experience difficulties in meeting its commitments to creditors as financial liabilities fall due for payment. The group manages its liquidity risk by using reasonable and retrospectively-assessed assumptions to forecast future cash-generating capabilities and working capital requirements of the businesses it operates and by maintaining sufficient reserves, committed borrowing facilities and other credit lines as appropriate. Forecast liquidity represents the group’s expected cash inflows, principally generated from sales made to customers, less the group’s contractually-determined cash outflows, principally related to supplier payments and the repayment of borrowings, plus the payment of any interest accruing thereon. The matching of these cash inflows and outflows rests on the expected ageing profiles of the underlying assets and liabilities. Current financial assets and financial liabilities are represented primarily by the group’s trade receivables and trade payables, respectively. The matching of the cash flows that result from trade receivables and trade payables takes place typically over a period of three to four months from recognition in the balance sheet and is managed to ensure the ongoing operating liquidity of the group. Financing cash outflows may be longer-term in nature. The group does not hold noncurrent financial assets to match against these commitments, but has invested significantly in noncurrent non-financial assets which generate the sustainable future cash inflows, net of future capital expenditure requirements, needed to service and repay the group’s financial liabilities.

The table below analyses the group’s non-derivative financial liabilities and net-settled derivative financial liabilities, dividing them into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the balance sheet date to the contractual maturity date. Derivative financial liabilities are included in the analysis if their contractual maturities are essential for an understanding of the timing of the cash flows. The amounts disclosed in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows. in kEUR

3.2 Capital risk management The group’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the group’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimum capital structure to reduce the cost of capital. Consistent with others in the industry, the group monitors capital on the basis of net debt/EBITDA before non-recurring items as well as the equity ratio. Net debt is calculated as total financial liabilities (including ‘current and non-current financial liabilities’ as shown in the balance sheet) less cash and cash equivalents. Equity is calculated as ‘equity’ as shown in the balance sheet. in kEUR

3.3 Fair value estimation The table below analyses financial instruments carried at fair value, by valuation method. The different levels have been defined as follows:  Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1);  Inputs other than quoted prices included under level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices) (level 2);  Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (i.e., unobservable inputs) (level 3). The following table presents the group’s assets and liabilities that were measured at fair value at 31 December 2013: in kEUR

Assets Financial assets at fair value through P&L Trading derivatives Available-for-sale financial assets Equity securities Total assets No transfers between levels took place in 2014 and 2013. The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example, overthe-counter derivatives) is determined by using valuation techniques. These valuation techniques maximise the use of observable market data where it is available and rely as little as possible on entity-specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to measure an instrument at fair value are observable, the instrument is included in level 2. If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3.

4 Critical accounting estimates and judgements Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are addressed below.

4.1 Estimated residual values and useful economic lives The group’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the group’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimum capital structure to reduce the cost of capital. Consistent with others in the industry, the group monitors capital on the basis of net debt/EBITDA before non-recurring items as well as the equity ratio. Net debt is calculated as total financial liabilities (including ‘current and non-current financial liabilities’ as shown in the balance sheet) less cash and cash equivalents. Equity is calculated as ‘equity’ as shown in the balance sheet.

Geschäftsbericht 2014 | Seite 71


4.2 Employee benefits At 31 December 2014, the employee benefits obligation (severance and anniversary payments) amounted to kEUR 392 (2013: kEUR 434) The group’s benefit scheme liabilities are sensitive to changes in various underlying actuarial assumptions set by management. These assumptions include the discount and inflation rates to apply to scheme liabilities, the mortality rates to apply to scheme members and the rates of increase of future salaries. Further details regarding the assumptions are set out in note 29.3.

4.3 Deferred taxation At 31 December 2014, the group recognised deferred tax assets on tax loss carry-forwards in an amount of kEUR 818 (2013: kEUR 990). If future taxable profits within the 3-year plan period defined for the accounting and measurement of deferred taxes are 10% lower than the assumptions made at the balance sheet date, this would have a negative impact on the reported deferred tax assets on tax loss carry-forwards in an amount of kEUR 0 (2013: kEUR -77).

10 Non-recurring items Some group companies had restructuring programmes in 2012 and 2013 in order to improve production and administration processes. Costs for the reduction in the number of employees are shown as restructuring costs under non-recurring items. In 2014 non-recurring items mainly refer to the long-planned closing of the plant in Liberec, Czech Republic and ongoing restructuring program in Amurrio, Spain.

Net foreign exchange result on financing activities Changes in fair value of financial instruments

Reporting of figures for 2013 has been amended due to reporting of discontinued operations (See note 15 for an explanation) The net foreign exchange result on financing activities was mainly caused by changes in the EUR/CZK exchange rate. The 2014 non-recurring financial result refers to an agreement between Megatech Group, BAWAG P.S.K Bank für Arbeit und Wirtschaft und Österreichische Postsparkasse Aktiengesellschaft (BAWAG PSK AG) and Česká Spořitelna, a.s. to refinance the loan contract to Megatech Group by BAWAG PSK AG (see also note 25.1). It includes the impact from the waiver from BAWAG PSK AG and the costs relating to this agreement. Changes in the fair value of financial instruments were caused by the negative development of inflation rate swaps. These inflation rate swaps were terminated in 2013. It was agreed with the bank to waive half of the liabilities. The impact from this agreement was reported as a non-recurring financial result in 2013.

Reporting of figures for 2013 has been amended due to reporting of discontinued operations (See note 15 for an explanation) The weighted average applicable tax rate was 28.6% (2013: 2.4%). The change was due to a change in the profitability of the group’s subsidiaries in the relevant countries, some of them with a negative result. In 2014, no gains or losses from taxes were included in other comprehensive income (2013: kEUR 0).

Deferred income tax assets are recognised for tax losses carried forward to the extent that the realisation of the related tax benefit through future taxable profits is probable. No deferred tax assets for tax loss carry-forwards were recognised for entities where it currently does not appear likely that sufficient taxable income will be available against which the taxes loss carry-forwards can be utilised. The group did not recognise deferred income tax assets of kEUR 653 (2013: kEUR 2,587) in respect of losses amounting to kEUR 6,389 (2013: kEUR 10,662). Total tax loss carried forward is kEUR 11,155 (2013: kEUR 15,042), of which kEUR 870 will expire in the next year (2013: kEUR 1,373), and kEUR 4,999 (2013: kEUR 8,113) will expire in the next two to five years.

15 Discontinued operations Because of the distressed market situation in Brazil, with a drop down of the whole automotive industry by around 40% compared to the prior year, in December 2014 the management of the group decided to sell the Brazilian entity and to exit the Brazilian market at least for the next few years. As at 31 December 2014 the shares in Megatech Brasil Componentes Automotivos Ltda., Brazil, were sold to Megatech Industries Aktiengesellschaft F체rstentum Liechtenstein, Vaduz, Liechtenstein (see note 35.2). As Megatech Group lost control over the Brazilian entity, this entity was deconsolidated. In accordance with IFRS 5, the impact the deconsolidation of the Brazilian entity has on the consolidated income statement and consolidated cash flow statement is reclassified and reported as result from discontinued operations. An analysis of the result of discontinued operations and the result from the deconsolidation of the Brazilian entity is as follows: in kEUR

Reversal of impairment of land and building refers to land and building that has been impaired in 2013. The group received an offer from a third party to buy this land and building. The fair value of these assets was adjusted to the amount offered. Reversal of impairment is included in depreciation and amortisation, as well as the impairment in 2013. For additions in machinery and vehicles finance lease, the group paid kEUR 433 for down-payments. The total amount of transfers (kEUR -16) refers to transfers between fixed assets and intangible assets (see also note 17).

The category ‘Patents’ that has been reported separately in the past is now included in ‘Other’ because of its low carrying amount. Additions to trademarks refer to a related party transaction with Megatech Industries S.L., Spain. The purchase price is partly offset against (kEUR 1,610) with receivables from Megatech Industries S.L., Spain. The rest (kEUR 1,930) will be paid over the next five years (see also note 35.5). The total amount of transfers (kEUR 16) refers to transfers between property, plant and equipment and intangible assets (see also note 16).

The group has a number of independent customers who have no recent history of default. Taking the group’s customer structure into consideration, the credit risk can be evaluated as low. The set-up and release of provisions for impaired receivables have been included in ‘other expenses’ in the income statement. Amounts charged to the allowance account are generally written off when there is no expectation to recover the respective receivables. Certain subsidiaries of the group transferred receivable balances to a bank in exchange for cash based on a factoring agreement. At the end of the year, the receivable balances transferred amounted to kEUR 1,044 (2013: kEUR 2,531). Since certain credit risks are not transferred to banks, the derecognition criteria according to IAS 39 are not fully met, which is why related receivables have not been derecognised. Total amount of trade receivables transferred and derecognised is kEUR 5,590 (2013: kEUR 0). All trade receivables are current receivables. The fair values are the same as the carrying amounts.

25.1 Bank borrowings 25.1.1 Refinancing of BAWAG PSK AG loans In July 2014, the management of Megatech Group signed an agreement with Česká Spořitelna, a.s. for the refinancing of the total BAWAG PSK AG loan volume. One part of this refinancing agreement was that Megatech Group repays the instalment outstanding in December 2013 to BAWAG PSK AG. BAWAG PSK AG waived part of the outstanding loans in an amount of kEUR 2,627. Together with an additional one-time payment by Megatech entities to BAWAG PSK AG in an amount of kEUR 800 Megatech Group has a significant deleveraging in the Czech entities from kEUR 24,200 to kEUR 19,200. Megatech Industries AG acts as guarantor of these loans. Together with the new refinancing terms and conditions the financial position of Megatech Group in the Czech Republic – and, therefore, also in the group – is significantly strengthened by substantially lower yearly instalments and interest payments for the loans which were refinanced. 25.1.2 Pledges and securities The group has pledged certain assets as collateral against certain borrowings.

1 Economic conditions

In fiscal year 2014, global economic growth increased slightly to 2.7% (2013: 2.6%). The economic situation in many industrialised nations improved despite the continued presence of structural obstacles. Inflation remained moderate despite the expansionary monetary policies of many central banks. Economic growth in a number of emerging economies was held in check by currency fluctuations and structural deficits. In addition, the falling oil price had a negative impact on the economy in the oil producing countries. Global new passenger car registration increased by 4.5% to 73.4 million vehicles in 2014, exceeding the previous year’s record level. The primary growth drivers were the Asia-Pacific region, North America, Western Europe and Central Europe. In contrast, the overall markets for passenger cars in Eastern Europe and South America remained clearly below the prior-year level. In Western Europe, the GDP recovered compared with the previous year, growing 1.2% after 0.0%. Most northern European countries returned to a moderate growth path, while there were signs that the recession is coming to an end in most of the crisis-hit southern European countries. The unemployment rate in Europe declined slightly to 12.1% (2013: 12.5%). However, unemployment in Greece and Spain was well above this average. The stabilisation of the passenger car markets in Western Europe, which began in the second half of 2013, continued in the reporting period. The number of new registrations increased again for the first time after four years of decline. However, at 12.1 million vehicles (+4.9%), market volumes were still down substantially on the level before the financial and economic crisis (2007: 14.9 million vehicles). Whereas the French market almost stagnated (+0.5%), moderate growth was recorded in Italy (+4.9%) compared with the low prior-year volume. In Spain, the continuation of the government purchase incentive programme

Geschäftsbericht 2014 | Seite 114

accelerated the recovery process (+18.3%). Sustained high demand from private customers led to a market growth of 9.3% in the United Kingdom. In Central and Eastern Europe, GDP growth decreased to an average of 1.6% (2013: 2.2%). The economic trend in Central Europe remained positive. In contrast, economic growth in Eastern Europe contracted sharply, largely due to the conflict between Russia and Ukraine and the resulting uncertainty. The demand for passenger cars decreased by 6.7% to 3.6 million vehicles. This was mainly attributable to the sharp decline in unit sales in the Russian market, which accounts for around two thirds of the region’s total sales, due to the political crisis. Even the government scrapping programme - introduced in Russia on 1 September, 2014 - with the aim of promoting the purchase of locally produced new vehicles was unable to stop demand slumping by 10.0% to 2.3 million. In contrast, at 0.9 million passenger cars, EU markets in Central Europe posted a significant growth of 14.8% Brazil was skirting recession during the reporting period; after a 2.5% increase in the previous year, no growth was recorded. The number of new car registrations fell by 9.4% to 2.5 million units. Due to the weak economic environment, higher interest rates and reduced consumer confidence, market volumes in Brazil were also at the lowest level for the past five years. Brazil’s own vehicle exports slumped by 40.9% to 335 thousand units due to the weakness of the Argentinian market (-28.8% compared to 2013), among other factors. Although the GDP is expected to recover slightly in 2015, the automotive market is estimated for further reductions and the market volume will again decrease significantly.

EBITDA before non-recurring items Operating result (EBIT) Interest result

While the sale of parts remained nearly unchanged in 2014 - kEUR 109,080 after kEUR 109,685 in 2013 – sale of tools decreased from kEUR 13,903 in 2013 to kEUR 6,942 in 2014. Such fluctuations are normal in our tools business as the sale of tools is highly dependent on the start of the production of new products. Other revenue (mainly sales to sub-contractors) is quite stable.

Ongoing improvements in production and purchases allowed for a reduction of rate of the raw materials and consumables used by 3.1 percentage points. In total, raw materials and consumables used fell by 9.5% to kEUR 83,198. Total employee benefit expenses were reduced by 3.4% to kEUR 26,004. As a result, EBITDA before non-recurring items again increased by 35.8% to kEUR 10,528 after an increase of 142.3% in 2013. Geschäftsbericht 2014 | Seite 115


Costs for non-recurring items for restructuring accounted for kEUR -753 and mainly refer to the long-planned closing of the the plant in Liberec, Czech Republic, and further restructuring in Amurrio, Spain. After turning the operating result (EBIT) into positive in 2013, EBIT increased by 400% to kEUR 4,552 in 2014. Interest result in 2014 did not change significantly compared to 2013. The positive impact of the refinancing of BAWAG PSK AG loans in Q3 2014, that led to lower interest payments in the Czech entities, are offset by higher loan level in Spain and by higher interest costs for finance lease in the Czech entities due to new investments for upcoming projects.

The other financial result 2014 includes the kEUR 2,281 impact from the refinancing of bank loans and kEUR -245 from FX losses in EUR/CZK. In 2013, impact from EUR/CZK FX losses was kEUR -1,899. 2013 also includes the impact from waiver of 50% of the liabilities from inflation rate swaps (kEUR 1,528) and losses from inflation rate swaps (kEUR -571). The result from discontinued operations includes the net result after taxes for the Brazilian entity (kEUR -1,651) and the result from deconsolidation (kEUR -762). After three years with a negative net result, Megatech Group was able to turn the net result 2014 into positive and reached kEUR 2,021.

2.3 Financial position 2.3.1 Repayment of bank loans In July 2014, the management of Megatech Group signed an agreement with Česká Spořitelna, a.s. for the refinancing of the total BAWAG PSK AG loan volume. One part of this refinancing agreement was that Megatech Group pays the open instalment of December 2013 to BAWAG PSK AG. BAWAG PSK AG waived part of the outstanding loans in an amount of kEUR 2,627. Together with an additional one-time payment by Megatech entities to BAWAG PSK AG in an amount of kEUR 800, Megatech Group had a

Geschäftsbericht 2014 | Seite 116

significant deleveraging in the Czech entities from kEUR 24,200 to kEUR 19,200. Megatech Industries AG acts as guarantor of these loans. Together with the new refinancing terms and conditions, the financial position of Megatech Group in the Czech Republic – and, therefore, also in the group – is significantly strengthened by substantially lower annual instalments and interest payments for the loans which were refinanced.

An agreement to waive outstanding loans in the amount of kEUR 2,627 together with the high redemption to be paid for bank loans and overdrafts, partly offset by new loans and finance lease liabilities, led to a reduction of financial liabilities by 21.2% in 2014. As cash and cash equivalents also reduced significantly, total net

debt fell by 9.5% in 2014 after a reduction of 14.6% in 2013. Because of the decrease in net debt and increasing equity due to the positive net result, gearing again reduced by 10.4 percentage points after -7.8 percentage points in 2013.

Working capital

Ongoing focus on improvement of working capital structure enabled further reduction of working capital. Working capital, excluding the Brazilian entity, in 2013 was kEUR 3,385. The

reduction to kEUR -572 mainly refers to the material reduction of trade receivables, partly by using non-recourse factoring but also by improving the management of trade receivables.

Cash flow from operating activities includes the positive impact from the working capital kEUR of 3,284 (2013: kEUR 4,696). The stable high positive cash flow from operating activities allows for necessary investments in property, plant and equipment, tools and development costs for new projects starting in 2015-2017. The cash flow from investing activities includes more than kEUR 4,000 for capitalised development costs for projects starting in 2015-2017 and kEUR 900 payment to discontinued operations. While

the 2013 cash flow from investing activities was highly influenced from disposal of property, plant and equipment (kEUR 3,275), in 2014 no material cash in was reported for the disposal of property, plant and equipment. The negative cash flow from financing activities mainly refers to the repayment of bank loans and overdrafts regarding the refinancing of BAWAG PSK AG loans (kEUR -4,810) and interest payments for long-term financing.

2.4 Discontinued operations Because of the distressed market situation in Brazil, with a drop down of the whole automotive industry by around 40% compared to prior year, the management of the group decided to sell the Brazilian entity and to exit the Brazilian market at least for the next few years. As at 31 December 2014, the shares in Megatech Brasil Componentes Automotivos Ltda., Brazil, were sold to Megatech Industries Aktiengesellschaft, Vaduz, Liechtenstein. As Megatech

Gesch채ftsbericht 2014 | Seite 118

Group lost control over the Brazilian entity, the entity was deconsolidated. In accordance with IFRS 5, the impact from the Brazilian entity shown in the consolidated income statement and the consolidated cash flow statement is reclassified and reported as result from discontinued operations.

3 Research and development R&D activities and innovation are the major drivers of productivity and growth. In this technological area, innovation is the key for Megatech to keep its competitiveness. After one of the longest and deepest economic crises in the contemporary history, the promotion of research and innovation has become crucial. Through its research lines, Megatech has the objective to incorporate new innovative technologies in processes and products. During the year 2014, Megatech focused its research efforts on lightweight material, through the study of thermoplastic composites and physical foaming technology. On the basis of the very promising results obtained in 2014 in the weight-saving thematic, Megatech decided to proceed in this research line for the year 2015. These new developments will allow offering value-added products complying with the requirements of the future CAFE 2020 standard, hence implying a direct increase in Megatech’s market share.

The 2014 thermoplastic composites project not only brought Megatech a thorough knowledge of the processing of such materials in order to obtain an aesthetical finish, but also a clue about their big potential for structural parts and some specific applications. As for the study of the physical foaming technology, Megatech is now able to propose its customers foamed products, coated or not. First customer presentations attract great interest for the new products, also from new potential customers. In 2015, in addition to further developments in lightweight materials and thermoplastic composites the focus of research and development will be on the development of natural fiber composite materials obtained through thermoforming and over-injection, lightweight materials based on hollow glass spheres, and scratchproof injected parts with perfect aesthetics.

Geschäftsbericht 2014 | Seite 119


4 Sustainability, health, environment Megatech Group recognises its responsibility for humans and the environment along the entire value chain and is working for innovative solutions to create long-term benefits for employees, the environment and the group. Measures have therefore been taken to guarantee and continuously improve the health and safety of employees and neighbours and to ensure stateof-the art processes to protect the environment. A systematic risk analysis of processes is an

integral task of the Executive Board. Continuous internal audits and external audits performed by authorities and customers confirm the excellent results of these processes. At the end of 2014, 1,104 employees worked for Megatech Group (2013: 1,227).

5 Risk report The group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including foreign exchange price risk, currency risk, fair value interest rate risk, cash flow interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The group’s overall risk management programme focuses

on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the group’s financial performance. The group uses derivative financial instruments to hedge certain risk exposures. Risk management is carried out centrally by the group management.

5.1 Liquidity risk The group manages its liquidity risk by using reasonable and retrospectively-assessed assumptions to forecast future cash-generating capabilities and working capital requirements of the businesses it operates and by maintaining sufficient reserves, committed borrowing facilities and other credit lines as appropriate. Forecast liquidity represents the group’s expected cash inflows, principally generated from sales made to customers, less the group’s contractually-determined cash outflows, principally related to supplier payments and the repayment of borrowings, plus the payment of any interest accruing thereon. The matching of these cash inflows and outflows rests on the expected ageing profiles of the underlying assets and liabilities. Current financial assets and

Geschäftsbericht 2014 | Seite 120

financial liabilities are represented primarily by the group’s trade receivables and trade payables, respectively. The matching of the cash flows that result from trade receivables and trade payables takes place typically over a period of three to four months from recognition in the balance sheet and is managed to ensure the on-going operating liquidity of the group. Financing cash outflows may be longer-term in nature. The group does not hold non-current financial assets to match against these commitments, but has invested significantly in non-current nonfinancial assets which generate the sustainable future cash inflows, net of future capital expenditure requirements, needed to service and repay the group’s financial liabilities.


5.2 Credit risk The group’s credit risk is mainly confined to the risk of customers defaulting on sales invoices raised. Any credit risk arising from cash deposits and derivative financial instruments is deemed to be insignificant on the basis that nearly all relevant counterparties are investment grade entities recognised by international credit-

rating agencies. Each local entity is responsible for managing and analysing the credit risk for each of their new customers before standard payment and delivery terms and conditions are offered. Main customers of the group are the big automotive producers with regard to which credit risk is considered low.

5.3 Commodity price risk The group is exposed to commodity price risks as main raw materials can only be purchased on the spot markets and no commodity hedges are available. Price fluctuations can partly be passed

on to customers, depending on the contractual relationship.

5.4 Foreign exchange risk The group operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising primarily from the Czech crown and the Brazilian real. Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions and financing in foreign currencies. Management has set up a policy to require group companies to manage their foreign exchange risk against their functional currency with internal hedging as much as possible.

Furthermore, developments in foreign currencies are passed on to customers with a certain time delay. Group management will coordinate any additional hedging that may be necessary. By the end of 2014, the group’s financial liabilities were mainly denominated in euro.

5.5 Interest rate risk The group’s interest rate risk arises from noncurrent financial liabilities. Financial liabilities issued at variable rates expose the group to cash

flow interest rate risk which is partially offset by cash held at variable rates.

Geschäftsbericht 2014 | Seite 121


6 Financial instruments If required, the Megatech Group uses interest rate swaps to hedge against negative developments

in interest rates. At the end of 2014, no interest rate swaps are used.

7 Branch offices The group does not have any branch offices.

8 Expected development 8.1 Short- and medium-term Our forecasts are based on current estimates by third-party institutions and our major customers. The global economy is assumed to grow slightly faster in 2015 than in the reporting period. It is expected that the emerging economies of Asia will record the highest growth rates. The major industrialised nations are expected to see signs of recovery in the economies, though the rates of expansion will remain moderate. In Western Europe, the economic recovery is expected to continue in 2015. However, the upturn remains contingent on structural problems being resolved. The situation of the economies in Central and Eastern Europe should remain stable, depending on how the conflict between Russia and Ukraine evolves. The situation of Megatech Group is continuing to improve. After operational turnaround in 2013 the refinancing of major bank loans in 2014 gives more leeway. Caused by the high order intake in the second half 2013 and the year 2014, focus will be on non-event launches of numerous projects:

Geschäftsbericht 2014 | Seite 122

 First half of 2015 Audi Q7, Seat Leon, Seat Ibiza, VW T6  Second half of 2015 Bentley SUV, Citroën Berlingo  First half of 2016 Audi Q1, Peugeot 3008 and 5008, Porsche Boxster and Cayman, Seat Tribu  Second half of 2016 BMW 5 Series, Citroën C3 Picasso and Jumpy, MINI Cooper, Opel Meriva, Peugeot Expert, Skoda Snowman and Yeti This high number of contemporaneous projects demands for excellent project management but also for a good financial situation to be able to pre-finance development costs and tools arising before SOP and also new buildings and machinery needed for higher output. The smallest production plant in Marinha Grande, Portugal is planned to be significantly extended in 2015 so turnover will be more than doubled in 2016.


Starting in 2015, Megatech Group plans to set up a third production site in the Czech Republic in Brno to be able to provide higher outputs with short ways of transportation to main customers in Central Europe. This production site will be a custom-built solution, provided by the highly

reputable project developer CTP. Megatech will rent the new facility (incl. special fit-outs). Soft opening is planned for the end of March 2016, full production start is planned for the beginning of July 2016.

8.2 Long term expectations After three years of restructuring (2012-2013 operational restructuring with operational turnaround 2013; 2014 refinancing of major bank loans and exit of the Brazilian market and a positive net result after three years with losses), Megatech Group is fully back as very reliable partner for customers, suppliers and banks. High order intakes since second half of 2013 and improving financing offers are best evidence for the good development in recent history. Megatech Group thus is prepared to strengthen its position as Tier-1 supplier without neglecting Tier-2 and non-automotive business. Research and development are prepared to implement new technologies very fast. As fast-follower Megatech Group is able to offer best products for best prices and to participate in market trends very early.

its customers and will grow to a global player step by step. The basis for globalisation will be a strong and sustainable relationship with these customers. During the next one to two years, interesting countries and markets for expansion will be evaluated. Focus will be on the takeover of existing companies instead of greenfield investments. Megatech continues and will increase the focus on being a solution provider for its customers. This means that wherever and whenever possible, Megatech will solve customer problems (e.g. to take business from struggled suppliers). To be able to reach long-term targets, the board is aware of the necessity to reach investment grade rating. Further improvements in daily business thus are necessary and already planned or have already been started.

As some of the main customers intend to have global supplier structures, Megatech will follow

8.3 Actual figures first months 2015 In the first months of 2015, all entities report at least equal financial results compared to the first months of 2014. Some of them are significantly better than last year, so the consolidated results

of Megatech Group are better than during the first months of 2014, and Megatech Group keeps on improving.

This report contains forward-looking statements on the business development of Megatech Industries Group. The statements are based on assumptions relating to the development of the economic and legal environment in individual countries and economic regions, and in particular for the automotive industry, which we have made on basis of the information available to us and which we consider to be realistic at the time of preparing this report. The estimates given entail a degree of risk, and the actual developments may differ from those forecast. Consequently, any unexpected fall in demand or economic stagnation in our key sales markets Europe and Brazil will have a corresponding impact on the development of our business. The same applies in the event of a significant shift in current exchange rates, mainly Czech crown and Brazilian real against the euro. In addition, expected business developments may vary if this report’s assessments of value-enhancing factors and risk develop in a way other than we are currently expecting.

Auditor's Report Report on the Consolidated Financial Statements We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Megatech Industries AG, Vienna, which comprise the consolidated balance sheet as of 31 December 2014 and the consolidated income statement, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, of changes in equity and of cash flows for the year then ended, and the notes to the consolidated financial statements. As provided under Section 275 (2) UGB (liability provision regarding the audit of financial statements of small and medium-sized companies), our responsibility and liability towards the Company and any third parties arising from the audit are limited to a total of EUR 2 million. Management’s Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial Statements The Company’s management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the EU, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with laws and regulations applicable in Austria and in accordance with International Standards on Auditing. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the Group’s preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion. Opinion In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Megatech Industries AG as of 31 December 2014, and of its financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the EU.
