Geschäftsbericht 2014 | Seite 5Geschäftsbericht 2014 | Seite 5


Dass wir diesen rückblick mit einem superlativ be-ginnen, geschieht aus respekt und Dankbarkeit

gegenüber allen, die den Weg gemeinsam mit uns gehen, die Verantwortung gemeinsam mit uns schul-tern, die entscheidungen gemeinsam mit uns tra-gen und die Leistung ge-meinsam mit uns erbrin-gen. gemeinsam gehört uns daher auch der erfolg und der stolz auf den fol-genden 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 produ-zieren wir u. a. die heckklappenverkleidungen,

heckscheibenrahmen, Ladekanten und koffer-raumverkleidungen.

Mit opel, Porsche, bentley und Volkswagen nutzfahrzeuge konnten vier bedeutende neu-kunden 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 Arbeits-platz innerhalb der verschiedenen einheiten der MegAteCh gruppe.

erfolgreiche strukturelle Verbesserungen

Das forschungs- und entwicklungsteam unse-res 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 notwendi-gen Prototypen fertigen.

Das baulich veraltete Werk Liberec wurde ge-schlossen und die Produktion, soweit wir sie weiterführen, in die Werke hlinsko und Jablo-nec 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.

Die solide finanzierungsbasis

WirhabenmitČeskáspořitelnaeinenneuenFi-nanzierungspartner unserer tschechischen Wer-ke 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 verbes-serter homepage.

Der Aufsichtsrat der gesellschaft hat im november 2014 gerhard Pesout zum dritten Mitglied des Vor-stands bestellt. er gehört bereits seit september 2013 in seiner funktion als Country Manager unse-rer tschechischen Werke dem führungsteam an. Darüber hinaus wurde die systematische Verstär-kung unseres Managements in allen einheiten und Ländern weiter fortgesetzt.

im bewusstsein, dass solche stolzen erfolgsmel-dungen erstens Momentaufnahmen sind und zweitens eigentlich schon die Vergangenheit abbil-den, 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 begon-nen hat: Unser standort brasilien bleibt leider ein sorgenkind. Die schwierige wirtschaftliche Lage unddierückläufigeAutomobilproduktioninBrasi-lien 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 an-gesichts des derzeitigen schwierigen Marktumfel-des und der angespannten Wirtschaftslage vorbe-halten, sämtliche optionen zu überprüfen.

Davon unbeeinträchtigt bleiben unsere interna-tionalen expansionszie-le: Wir wollen unser Unternehmen durch or-ganisches Wachstum und Akquisitionen wei-ter ausbauen und bemü-hen uns deshalb ver-stärkt um internationale kooperationen, um auch in Ländern, auf Märkten und mit Produkten tätig werden zu können, in denen wir heute noch nicht vertreten sind.

Auch für 2015 haben wir uns ehrgeizige Ziele ge-steckt. große Anstrengungen werden notwendig sein, um sie zu erreichen, aber die erfolge des ab-gelaufenen geschäftsjahres machen diesbezüglich Mut. Wir danken allen kolleginnen, die durch ihre persönliche Leistung dazu beigetragen haben, von herzen.

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-soft-ware für alle standorte konnten 2014 abgeschlossen werden. somit sind sämtliche unserer standorte in den bereichen Controlling & reporting auf kapital-marktfähigem niveau.

insbesondere aus finanzierungssicht war 2014 ein besonders erfreuliches Jahr. Mittels einer erfolgrei-chen Umschuldung des kredit-Portfolios in tsche-chienistdieRefinanzierunggelungen.

im bereich des recruitings wurden unsere Manage-ment teams in allen Ländern und einheiten ver-stärkt. 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 ausge-baut, ein Programm, bei dem alle Mitarbeiter dazu eingeladen werden, innovative ideen einzureichen. Die besten Vorschläge werden in regelmäßigen intervallen direkt in den Werken ausgewählt, umge-setzt und mit Preisen ausgezeichnet.

Zur Verbesserung unserer internen kommunikation haben wir den firmennewsletter „Megazin insider“

gestartet und ausgebaut. Der newsletter erscheint einmal im Monat und berichtet über Wissenswertes aus den Werken weltweit. für die externe kommuni-kation wurde erstmals ein geschäftsbericht publi-ziert und die Webpage neu gestaltet.

MegAteCh tech Center & sales (spanien)

Das tech Center wurde Anfang des Jahres nach bo-roa bei bilbao in das AiC-Automotive intelligence Center – einem forschungs- und entwicklungszent-rum für firmen des Automobilsektors – ausgelagert. Dadurch war es uns möglich, die forschung, Pla-nung, Projektabwicklung und Prototypenfertigung an einem standort konzentriert zusammenzufassen. Durch die gute Auftragslage war das tech Center voll ausgelastet und konnte zusätzliche Mitarbeiter aufnehmen.

MegAteCh industries Czech republic

im ersten halbjahr 2014 wurde das Werk in Liberec geschlossen und die Produktion, soweit sie weiter-geführt wird, in die Werke hlinsko und Jablonec ver-lagert. für die belegschaft des Werks MegAteCh industries Liberec wurde ein outplacement Pro-gramm entwickelt, um sie bei der suche nach einer neuen Arbeitsstelle zu unterstützen. einige Mit-arbeiter konnten in anderen standorten der MegA-teCh industries weiterbeschäftigt werden.

Das Werk in hlinsko verzeichnete zahlreiche Auf-tragseingänge 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 Mit-arbeiterzahl 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 Produktions-halle „Hall 100“ durchdie Bürgermeisterin offizielleröffnet. Das Werk wurde sponsor der eishockey-mannschaft 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 La-gerbestand zu reduzieren. hervorzuheben sind die erfreulichen gewinne unserer Werke in orense (spa-nien) und Marinha grande (Portugal).

Die Werke der iberischen halbinsel erhielten Aufträ-ge 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 erfreulicher-weise ein sehr erfolgreiches geschäftsjahr, in dem es uns gelungen ist, einen großteil unse-rer Vorhaben umzusetzen. Wir haben mit einer

einzigen Ausnahme an al-len standorten gewinne erzielt, waren aber auch auf nicht operativen ge-bieten erfolgreich: bei der Akquisition neuer Aufträge, Refinanzierungen oder derVerbesserung aller Prozesse.

rAinEr DiECk: insbesonde-re auch aus finanzierungs-sicht war es ein erfreuliches Jahr, da uns die erfolgrei-che Umschuldung eines 25 Mio. eUr kredit-Portfolios in tschechien gelungen ist.

DurchdieseRefinanzierung sowiedie guteGe-schäftsentwicklung im letzten Jahr haben sich die Voraussetzungen für eine stabile finanzierungs-truktur in der gesamten gruppe deutlich verbes-sert. 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 wer-den konnte.

GErHArD PESouT: obwohl ich erst seit kurzem bei MegAteCh bin, waren 2014 im Vergleich zu 2013 die optimierung der organisation in tsche-chien mit entsprechend besseren ergebnissen und die Vorbereitung auf die nunmehr angelau-fenen und anstehenden neuen Aufträge positi-ve 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

Der Auftragseingang 2014 hat ausschließlich

neue Automodellebetroffen, was uns beim

Anlaufen der Produktion 2015 und 2016 entspre-

chend stark steigende umsätze einbringen wird.

A-klasse-Unternehmen tätig sind oder waren, als interessanter Arbeitgeber wahrgenommen wer-den. 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 aus-schließlich neue Automodelle betroffen, was uns beim Anlaufen der Produktion 2015 und 2016 entsprechend stark steigende Umsät-ze einbringen wird. in der entwicklungs- und Vorbereitungsphase bedingen solche neuauf-träge 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 not-wendigeInnenfinanzierungskrafthabenwirunsdurch gute operative ergebnisse in den einzel-nen Werken erarbeitet. neben investitionen in Maschinen und gebäude konnten wir im letz-ten Jahr auch in den it-bereichen unserer tsche-chischen und spanischen Werke weitreichende

Verbesserungen durchführen. in diese richtung wird auch 2015 weitergearbeitet. Aus heutiger sicht können wir fest-stellen, dass alle notwen-digen investitionen für 2015 bereits weitgehend mit entsprechenden fi-nanzierungszusagen ab-gesichert sind.

PESouT: ich bin mit er-fahrung im bereich Lean Management zu MegA-teCh gekommen und sehe die investitionen von 2014 als Meilenstein in der Umsetzung der Prinzipien des Lean Managements. operational excellence an allen standorten ist unser gesetz-tes 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.

Audi TT Coupé und TT Cabrio waren wohl die aufsehenerregendstenModelle 2014 und dieProduktion für den eben-falls von uns beliefertenAudi Q7 wirddemnächst starten.



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-Quali-tät, das erreicht, was ich gerne „Capital Market

standard“ nenne. für eine mittelständische Unterneh-mensgruppe ist das unge-wöhnlich. Wir können heute bereits auf Werks-, Länder- oder gruppenebene monat-liche gewinn- und Verlust-rechnungen, bilanzen und Cash flows zeigen. regional gibt es noch Verbesserungs-bedarf, insbesondere in Accounting-Prozessen. Zu-sätzliche schwerpunkte wer-

den heuer auf it-security und risk Management liegen.

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 erkenntnis-se aus großserienversuchen umgesetzt werden müssen. Die neue europäische gesetzgebung zwingt die Automobilhersteller derzeit zu mas-siven gewichtseinsparungen. MegAteCh ist heute in der Lage, im kunststoffspritzverfahren Produkte mit hohen dekorativen Anforderungen im sichtbereich anzubieten, wobei gewichtsein-sparungen bis zu 30 Prozent möglich sind. Mit diesem Prozess ermöglichen wir ein bedeuten-des Potential für die Produktion. Und auch für die kommenden Jahre arbeiten wir aktiv an wei-teren neuentwicklungen.

hat es im vergangenen Jahr Veränderungen bei den Unternehmensanteilen gegeben?

GESSlEr: ich habe 2014 zwei meiner drei ehema-ligen Partner ausgekauft und deren Anteile er-

Wir haben somit,bezogen auf die

reporting-Qualität, das erreicht, was ich

gerne „Capital Market Standard“ nenne.


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 neuwagen-geschäft in europa auf die Auftragslage aus?

DiECk: Unser geschäft ist nicht an öffentlich wahrgenommenen Wirtschaftszyklen im Auto-mobilbereich festzumachen. Wenn der Auto-markt sich weltweit um einige Prozentsätze auf oder ab verändert, wirken sich diese schwankun-gen nicht automatisch in gleichem Umfang auf unser geschäft aus. es hängt alles davon ab, für welche Modelle wir von welchen Werken aus be-liefern. hierbei gibt es sozusagen für jedes Werk einen eigenen konjunkturzyklus, der nicht zwin-gend 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 er-freuliche schlagzeilen. für uns verläuft die Zusammen-arbeit durch die fertigung von teilen für den Citroën Picasso aber durchaus posi-tiv. Auch Modelle wie Citro-ën C-elysée, Peugeot 301 und Citroën Cactus sorgen für durchwegs erfreuliche Volumina.

Demnach wurden die erwartungen hinsicht-lich des Anlaufens von neuen Aufträgen erfüllt?

GESSlEr: Die im Vorjahr in Verhandlung stehen-den Aufträge wurden akquiriert, wir stehen jetzt in der Produktentwicklung. Die Produktions-starts erfolgen zwischen 2015 bis Anfang 2017.

Trotz der Wirtschaftskrise in Spanien und Portugalist es uns dort dank unserer Zulieferaufträgefür den Volkswagen Golf VII, den Polo V oder den Seat leon sehr gut ergangen.


ein vorsichtiger Ausblick auf neugeschäfte, für die 2015 ein Abschluss zu erwarten ist?

GESSlEr: im deutschen Premiumsegment wol-len wir uns stärker aufstellen und arbeiten auch in diese richtung. Wir sprechen hier derzeit al-lerdings von strategischer Planung, da es Pro-duktionen betrifft, die ab 2018/2019 anlaufen können. Die Zusammenarbeit mit bMW/Mini ist zukunftsträchtig, die beziehungen zum Volkswa-gen konzern und Peugeot sind weiter ausbau-fähig, ebenso wie jene zu unseren strategisch wichtigen systemlieferanten.

DiECk: Zudem geht der trend dahin, dass unse-reKundenhäufigergrößereAuftragspakete fürfahrzeuggruppen auf derselben Plattform oder für mehrere verschiedene fahrzeuge vergeben. Das bedeutet höhere Volumina, aber auch eine größere herausforderung bei der kapazitätspla-nung und finanzierung.

PESouT: An dieser stelle ist zu erwähnen, dass wir mit schneider electric auch einen nicht-Automo-tive 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 Pro-dukte im Vergleich zu Automotive-Produkten sehr langlebige Produktionszeiten haben, da an einem schaltschrank nur selten Änderungen vor-genommen werden.

ist das Zuliefern an einen der big Player mit hohem Marktanteil für die neukunden- akquise hinderlich oder eine empfehlung?

GESSlEr: Das ist eine empfehlung, weil die außer-ordentlichen Qualitätsansprüche eines großkun-den in der branche gut bekannt sind. Wer diese dauerhaft und in großen stückzahlen erfüllen kann, außerdem ein Produktportfolio vom nutz-fahrzeugbiszurLuxusklasseaufweist,empfiehltsich damit automatisch auch für jeden kunden. Da wir es schaffen, seit dem golf iV durchge-hend die Qualitäts- und Logistik-herausforde-rungen für mehr als 600.000 fahrzeuge pro Jahr zu schaffen, trauen uns auch andere kunden sehr viel zu.

PESouT: bevorzugter Zulieferer für einen groß-konzern 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 tochtergesell-schaften geregelt?

GESSlEr: großvolumige finanzierungen im be-reich der holding anzusiedeln und damit aus den lokalen gesellschaften rauszuholen, ist ein Projekt, das wir im vergangen Jahr gestartet ha-ben.

DiECk: Diesen Weg wollen wir auch weiter ver-folgen. Voraussetzung dafür ist jedoch ein ka-pitalmarktfähiges 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 vor-teilhafter sein, finanzierungen lokal aufzustellen. insgesamt streben wir die höchstmögliche fle-xibilität bei geringstmöglichen finanzierungs-kosten an, und zwar sowohl bezogen auf die fi-nanzierungsstruktur insgesamt als auch in jedem einzelnen finanzierungsvertrag. große finanzie-rungsvolumina 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 niederlas-sung in brasilien wird nur hand in hand mit einer erholung der gesamten brasilianischen Volkswirtschaft gelingen. immerhin handelt es sich um einen heimmarkt von mehr als 200 Millionen Menschen und einem entsprechenden bedarf an fahrzeugen, das Potenzial ist also da. Weiters das Aufschließen der spa-nischen und tschechischen betriebe zu unseren excel-lence-standards. Und unser Team mit hochqualifiziertenMitarbeitern, die von renom-mierten firmen kommen, zu verstärken. Die geschäftsan-bahnung mit weiteren glo-balen herstellern sehen wir ebenfalls als spannende herausforderung. bei der erweiterung der geschäftsfelder soll trotz-dem die balance zwischen Auftragskonzentrie-rung und einem zu großen split gehalten werden – mit diesen Aufgaben sind wir für die Zukunft bis 2025 gut beschäftigt und zugleich gerüstet.

Da wir es schaffen, seit dem Golf iV durchge-hend die Qualitäts- undlogistik-Herausforderun-gen für mehr als 600.000Fahrzeuge pro jahr zuschaffen, trauen unsauch andere kunden sehr viel zu.

in unserem Werk MegAteCh industries hlinkso produzieren wir für das Audi A3 Cabrio die rückwandseitenverkleidung, die sich aus zwei teilen zusammensetzt.

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.


Der Vorstand der Megatech industries Ag hat die Mitglieder des Aufsichtsrats regelmäßig, zeitnah und umfassend sowohl schriftlich als auch münd-lich über die Lage, den geschäftsverlauf und die finanzsituation des Unternehmens sowie der toch-tergesellschaften im konzern informiert.

im geschäftsjahr 2014 wurden sechs Aufsichtsrats-sitzungen abgehalten, an denen in drei sitzungen alle Mitglieder des Aufsichtsrats teilgenommen hatten. Am 29.04.2014 konnte fernando del Val nicht an der Aufsichtsratssitzung teilnehmen. Am 25.07.2014 sowie am 29.08.2014 konnte Matthias Übel nicht an den Aufsichtsratssitzungen teilneh-men und wurde jeweils durch Vollmacht von Ulrike Gessler-Wolfingervertreten.

in diesen Aufsichtsratssitzungen, aber auch darü-ber hinaus, wird eine offene kommunikation zwi-schen dem Vorstand und dem Aufsichtsrat geführt.

Ugb sowie eine freiwillige Prüfung des ifrs konzernabschlus-ses zum 31. Dezember 2014 nach den international standards on Auditing (isA) vorgenommen.

Die Prüfung hat nach ihrem abschließenden ergeb-nis keinen Anlass zu beanstandungen ergeben.

Der Abschlussprüfer hat daher bestätigt, dass der Jahresabschluss der Megatech lndustries Ag samt Lagebericht des Vorstandes sowie der konzernab-schluss samt konzernlageberichts des Vorstands des Megatech lndustries konzerns nach ifrs den gesetzlichen bestimmungen entsprechen.

sie vermitteln unter der beachtung ordnungsge-mäßer buchführung ein möglichst getreues bild der Vermögens-, finanz- und ertragslage der ge-sellschaft und ihrer tochtergesellschaften.

Der Aufsichtsrat erklärt sich mit dem Lagebericht des Vorstandes einverstanden und billigt den Jah-resabschluss 2014 der Megatech industries Ag. Der Jahresabschluss 2014 ist somit festgestellt.

Der Aufsichtsrat schließt sich der empfehlung des Vorstands an, das ergebnis des geschäftsjahres 2014 auf neue rechnung vorzutragen.

Weiters schlägt der Aufsichtsrat vor, PwC Öster-reich gmbh Wirtschaftsprüfungsie für einegesell-schaft in der ordentlichen hauptversammlung für das geschäftsjahr 2015 als Abschlussprüfer der Megatech industries Ag zu bestellen.

2Summaryofsignificantaccountingpolicies

Theprincipalaccountingpoliciesappliedinthepreparationoftheseconsolidatedfinancialstatementsare 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 withinternational financial reporting standards and ifriC interpretations as adopted by the eU. the consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, asmodifiedbytherevaluationofavailable-for-salefinancialassets,andfinancialassetsandfinancialliabilities(includingderivativeinstruments)atfairvaluethroughprofitorloss.

Thepreparationoffinancialstatements inconformitywith IFRSrequirestheuseofcertaincriticalaccounting 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 areaswhereassumptionsandestimatesaresignificanttotheconsolidatedfinancialstatementsaredisclosed 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

IFRS10,‘Consolidatedfinancialstatements’,buildsonexistingprinciplesbyidentifyingtheconceptof control as the determining factor in whether an entity should be included in the consolidated financialstatementsoftheparentcompany.Thestandardprovidesadditionalguidancetoassistinthedeterminationofcontrolwherethisisdifficulttoassess.IFRS10doesnothaveamaterialimpactonthegroupsconsolidatedfinancialstatements.

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 consolidatedfinancialstatements.

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 off-balancesheetvehicles.IFRS12doesnothaveamaterialimpactonthegroup’sconsolidatedfinancialstatements.


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 consolidatedfinancialstatementsofthegroup,exceptthefollowingsetoutbelow:

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 considerationarrangement.Acquisition-relatedcostsareexpensedas incurred. Identifiableassetsacquired 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’sproportionateshareoftherecognisedamountsoftheacquiree’sidentifiablenetassets.

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 valueatthedatewhencontrol is lost,withthechangeincarryingamountrecognisedinprofitorloss. the fair value is the initial carrying amount for the purposes of subsequently accounting for the retainedinterestasanassociate,jointventureorfinancialasset.Inaddition,anyamountspreviouslyrecognised 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 recognisedinothercomprehensiveincomearereclassifiedtoprofitorloss.

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.

Theconsolidatedfinancialstatementsarepresentedinthousandsofeuro(kEUR),whichisthegroup’spresentation 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 theincomestatement,exceptwhendeferredinothercomprehensiveincomeasqualifyingcashflowhedges and qualifying net investment hedges.

foreign exchange gains and losses that relate to borrowings and cash and cash equivalents are presentedintheincomestatementunder‘otherfinancialresults’.Allotherforeignexchangegainsand 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 asavailable-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 differencesrelatingtochangesinamortisedcostarerecognisedinprofitorloss,andotherchangesin carrying amount are recognised in other comprehensive income.

2.3.3 Group companies

Theresultsandfinancialpositionofallthegroupentities(noneofwhichhasthecurrencyofahyper-inflationaryeconomy)thathaveafunctionalcurrencydifferentfromthepresentationcurrencyaretranslated 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.


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

Landandbuildingscomprisemainlyfactoriesandoffices.Property,plantandequipmentisstatedathistorical 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,onlywhenitisprobablethatfutureeconomicbenefitsassociatedwiththeitemwillflowto 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 thefinancialperiodinwhichtheyareincurred.

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 25-33 yearsMachinery 5-15 yearsforklifts 5 yearsVehicles 3-5 yearsFurniture,fittingsandequipment 3-10years

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.


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; howtheintangibleassetwillgenerateprobablefutureeconomicbenefits; theavailabilityofadequatetechnical,financialandotherresourcestocompletethedevelopment

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 attheacquisitiondate.Thecontractualcustomerrelationshaveafiniteusefullifeof15yearsandare 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.


2.6Impairmentofnon-financialassets

Assetsthathaveanindefiniteusefullife–forexample,goodwillorintangibleassetsnotreadyforuse – 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,assetsaregroupedatthelowestlevelsforwhichthereareseparatelyidentifiablecashflows(cash-generatingunits).Non-financialassetsotherthangoodwillthatsufferedanimpairmentare reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each reporting date.

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).

2.8Impairmentoffinancialassets

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 financialassetorgroupoffinancialassetsisimpaired.Afinancialassetoragroupoffinancialassetsis 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 thatlossevent(orevents)hasanimpactontheestimatedfuturecashflowsofthefinancialassetorgroupoffinancialassetsthatcanbereliablyestimated.


the criteria that the group uses to determine that there is objective evidence of an impairment loss include:

significantfinancialdifficultyoftheissuerorobligor; a breach of contract, such as default or delinquency in interest or principal payments; thegroup,foreconomicorlegalreasonsrelatingtotheborrower’sfinancialdifficulty,granting

to the borrower a concession that the lender would not otherwise consider; theprobabilitythattheborrowerwillenterbankruptcyorotherfinancialreorganisation; thedisappearanceofanactivemarketforthatfinancialassetbecauseoffinancialdifficulties;or observable data indicating that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flowsfromaportfoliooffinancialassetssincetheinitialrecognitionofthoseassets,althoughthedecreasecannotyetbeidentifiedwiththeindividualfinancialassetsintheportfolio,includingadverse 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 theasset’scarryingamountandthepresentvalueofestimatedfuturecashflows(excludingfuturecreditlossesthathavenotbeenincurred)discountedatthefinancialasset’soriginaleffectiveinterestrate. 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

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 betweenthetaxbasisofassetsandliabilitiesandtheircarryingamountsintheconsolidatedfinancialstatements. 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 profitwillbeavailableagainstwhichthetemporarydifferencescanbeutilised.

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.

2.17.3 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; itisprobablethatanoutflowofresourceswillberequiredtosettletheobligation;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 reflectscurrentmarketassessmentsofthetimevalueofmoneyandtherisksspecifictotheobligation.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.


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 whenthesignificantrisksandrewardsofownershiphavepassedtothebuyer.Thisiswhentitleandinsurance 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 futurecashflowdiscountedattheoriginaleffectiveinterestrateoftheinstrument,andcontinuesunwinding the discount as interest income. interest income on impaired loans and receivables is recognised using the original effective interest rate.

3 financial risk management

3.1 financial risk factors

Thegroup’sactivitiesexposeittoavarietyoffinancialrisks:marketrisk(includingforeignexchangecurrencyrisk,fairvalueinterestraterisk,cashflowinterestrateriskandpricerisk),creditriskandliquidity risk. the group’s overall risk management programme focuses on the unpredictability of financialmarketsandseekstominimisepotentialadverseeffectsonthegroup’sfinancialperformance.If required, the group uses derivative financial instruments to hedge certain risk exposures. Riskmanagement 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:

2014 2013

Average Closing Average Closing

brl 3.1228 3.2207 2.8687 3.2576

Czk 27.5358 27.7350 25.9797 27.4270

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 decidednottousehedginginstrumentsthatcausehighcashoutflowsupfront.

At 31 December 2014, if the exchange rate of the Czech crown had increased additionally by 5.0% withallothervariablesheldconstant,profitbeforetaxwouldhavebeenkEUR-907lower(2013:kEUR-1,035). there are no material risks in other currencies (including brL).

3.1.2 Credit risk

The group’s credit risk is mainly confined to the risk of customers defaulting on sales invoicesraised. Any credit risk arising from cash deposits and derivative financial instruments is deemedtobeinsignificantonthebasisthatnearlyallrelevantcounterpartiesareinvestmentgradeentitiesrecognised 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 spotmarketsandnocommodityhedgesareavailable.Pricefluctuationscanpartlybepassedontocustomers, depending on the contractual relationship.

3.1.4 Liquidity risk

3.3 fair value estimation

Thetablebelowanalysesfinancialinstrumentscarriedatfairvalue,byvaluationmethod.Thedifferentlevelshavebeendefinedasfollows:

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).

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 estimateswill,bydefinition,seldomequaltherelatedactualresults.Theestimatesandassumptionsthathaveasignificantriskofcausingamaterialadjustmenttothecarryingamountsofassetsandliabilitieswithinthenextfinancialyearareaddressedbelow.

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 goingconcerninordertoprovidereturnsforshareholdersandbenefitsforotherstakeholdersandto maintain an optimum capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.

4.2Employeebenefits

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 tochanges in various underlying actuarial assumptions set by management. these assumptions include thediscountandinflationratestoapplytoschemeliabilities,themortalityratestoapplytoschememembers 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 amountofkEUR818(2013:kEUR990).Iffuturetaxableprofitswithinthe3-yearplanperioddefinedfor 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).

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 fürstentum Liechtenstein, Vaduz, Liechtenstein (see note 35.2). As Megatech group lost control over the brazilian entity, this entity was deconsolidated.

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.

1 Economic conditions

In fiscal year 2014, global economic growthincreased slightly to 2.7% (2013: 2.6%). the economic situation in many industrialised nations improved despite the continued presence of structural obstacles. Inflation remainedmoderate despite the expansionary monetary policies of many central banks. economic growth in a number of emerging economies was held incheckbycurrencyfluctuationsandstructuraldeficits. In addition, the falling oil price hada 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 theAsia-Pacificregion,NorthAmerica,Westerneurope 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 thefirsttimeafterfouryearsofdecline.However,at 12.1 million vehicles (+4.9%), market volumes were still down substantially on the level before the financial and economic crisis (2007: 14.9million 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

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 theresulting 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 postedasignificantgrowthof14.8%

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 interestratesandreducedconsumerconfidence,market volumes in brazil were also at the lowest levelforthepastfiveyears.Brazil’sownvehicleexports 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 againdecreasesignificantly.

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 businessas 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 employeebenefitexpenseswere reducedby 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.


2.3 financial position

2.3.1 repayment of bank loans

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.

Interestresultin2014didnotchangesignificantlycompared to 2013. the positive impact of the refinancingofBAWAGPSKAGloansinQ32014,that led to lower interest payments in the Czech entities, are offset by higher loan level in spain andbyhigherinterestcostsforfinanceleaseinthe Czech entities due to new investments for upcoming projects.

Theotherfinancialresult2014includesthekEUR2,281impactfromtherefinancingofbankloansand 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 of50%oftheliabilitiesfrominflationrateswaps(kEUR1,528)andlossesfrominflationrateswaps(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.

in July 2014, the management of Megatech group signed an agreement with Česká Spořitelna,a.s. fortherefinancingofthetotalBAWAGPSKAG loan volume. One part of this refinancingagreement 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

significant deleveraging in the Czech entitiesfrom keUr 24,200 to keUr 19,200. Megatech industries Ag acts as guarantor of these loans.Together with the new refinancing terms andconditions, the financial position of Megatechgroup in the Czech republic – and, therefore, alsointhegroup–issignificantlystrengthenedby substantially lower annual instalments and interest payments for the loans which were refinanced.


2.3.2 net debt and gearing

2.3.3 Working capital

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,partlyoffsetbynewloansandfinancelease liabilities, led to a reduction of financialliabilities 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.

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.

Cashflowfromoperatingactivitiesincludesthepositive impact from the working capital keUr of 3,284 (2013: keUr 4,696). the stable high positive cash flow from operating activities allows fornecessary investments in property, plant and equipment, tools and development costs for new projects starting in 2015-2017.

The cash flow from investing activities includesmore than keUr 4,000 for capitalised development costs for projects starting in 2015-2017 and keUr 900 payment to discontinued operations. While

Thenegativecashflowfromfinancingactivitiesmainly refers to the repayment of bank loans and overdrafts regarding the refinancing ofbAWAg Psk Ag loans (keUr -4,810) and interest paymentsforlong-termfinancing.

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 Mega-tech brasil Componentes Automotivos Ltda., brazil, were sold to Megatech industries Aktien-gesellschaft, Vaduz, Liechtenstein. As Megatech

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 asresult from discontinued operations.


An analysis of the result of discontinued operations and the result from deconsolidation of the entity is as follows:

Result from deconsolidation -762 0

Total result from discontinued operations -2,413 -378

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 obtainanaestheticalfinish,butalsoaclueabouttheir big potential for structural parts and some specificapplications.

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 obtainedthrough thermoforming and over-injection, lightweight materials based on hollow glass spheres, and scratchproof injected parts with perfect aesthetics.

5 Risk report

5.1 Liquidity risk

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 state-of-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 authoritiesandcustomersconfirmtheexcellentresults of these processes.

At the end of 2014, 1,104 employees worked for Megatech group (2013: 1,227).

the group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including foreignexchange price risk, currency risk, fair value interestraterisk,cashflowinterestrateriskandprice risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. the group’s overall risk management programme focuses

ontheunpredictabilityoffinancialmarketsandseeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the group’s financial performance. The groupuses derivative financial instruments to hedgecertain risk exposures. risk management is carried out centrally by the group management.

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 borrowingfacilities and other credit lines as appropriate.forecast liquidity represents the group’s expected cash inflows, principally generatedfrom 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 onthe expected ageing profiles of the underlyingassetsandliabilities.Currentfinancialassetsand

financial liabilities are represented primarily bythe group’s trade receivables and trade payables, respectively.Thematchingofthecashflowsthatresult 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.Thegroupdoesnot holdnon-current financialassets to match against these commitments, but has invested significantly in non-current non-financial assetswhich generate the sustainablefuture cash inflows, net of future capitalexpenditure requirements, needed to service andrepaythegroup’sfinancialliabilities.


5.2 Credit risk

5.3 Commodity price risk

5.4 foreign exchange risk

5.5 interest rate risk

Thegroup’screditriskismainlyconfinedtotherisk of customers defaulting on sales invoices raised. Any credit risk arising from cash deposits and derivative financial instruments is deemedto be insignificant on the basis that nearly allrelevant 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 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.Pricefluctuationscanpartlybepassed

on to customers, depending on the contractual relationship.

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 transactionsandfinancinginforeigncurrencies.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.

Bytheendof2014,thegroup’sfinancialliabilitieswere mainly denominated in euro.

the group’s interest rate risk arises from non-current financial liabilities. Financial liabilitiesissued at variable rates expose the group to cash

flowinterestrateriskwhichispartiallyoffsetbycash held at variable rates.

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.

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 conflictbetween russia and Ukraine evolves.

the situation of Megatech group is continuing to improve. After operational turnaround in 2013 therefinancingofmajorbankloansin2014givesmore 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:

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 ableto pre-finance development costs and toolsarising before soP and also new buildings and machinery needed for higher output.the smallest production plant in Marinha grande, Portugalisplannedtobesignificantlyextendedin 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). Softopening is planned for the end of March 2016, full production start is planned for the beginning of July 2016.

After three years of restructuring (2012-2013 operational restructuring with operational turnaround 2013; 2014 refinancing of majorbank 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 improvingfinancingoffersarebestevidenceforthe 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.

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

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 greenfieldinvestments.

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.
