STRATEGIC UPDATE

OUR ROAD TO SUSTAINABLE SUCCESS

OPERATIONAL UPDATE COVID-19 PANDEMIC & OPERATIONS

• › We continue to have some sporadic new COVID-19 cases at Stabilus production plants in Mexico, Romania, US and Germany; but the situation is under control
• › Global light vehicle production (LVP) in Q4 FY2020 down by 3.5% y/y, a significant improvement compared to the previous quarter Q3 FY2020 in which the LVP saw c. 43% dip
• › Customer demand has recovered noticeably, in particular in the automotive business (exceptions: customer demand in Brazil and in some subsegments of the industrial business, e.g. aerospace, continue to be soft)
• › Automotive Powerise business significantly outperformed global LVP in FY2020
• › Flexible production set-up/approach is key; e.g., currently, overtime work in Asia, regular production levels in Mexico and Romania (3 shift and/or 6 days production), short time work at smaller industrial plants, incl. European aerospace plant

Status quo Corporate actions

• › Top priorities: ensuring safety of our employees and business continuity (keeping the production running)
• › Stabilus pandemic rules (incl. social distancing, disinfection et al.) continue to be effective and operational; close monitoring of all activities continues, in order to reduce COVID-19 risks for Stabilus employees and operations
• › Cost flexibilization (EBIT recovery) program
• › Aligning/adjusting our production capacity to customer demand by utilizing short-time work schemes, furloughs, plant shutdowns for several days, selected layoffs et al.

Revenue	€822.1m	€850m - €900m		in FY20). The return to the annual production level of c. 90m is expected for FY2024. (Source: leading forecast institutes, IHS Markit Oct 2020 et al.)
Adj. EBIT margin	11.8%	12% - 13%	›	Expected world real GDP growth: -4.4% y/y for CY2020 (Jan-Dec) and 5.2% y/y for CY2021 (Source: IMF World Economic Outlook Oct 2020)
			›	The COVID-19 pandemic has affected all our customer markets and target industries. As a consequence of the pandemic and the significant uncertainty, the guidance shows a wider range
				compared to the prior years. We will review our FY2021 forecast on a regular basis and specify it further as soon as possible.
			›	We continue to pursue our long-term strategy focusing on sustainable, profitable growth, globalization, excellence, innovation as well as team spirit (One Stabilus). Based on the current LVP and GDP assumptions, we strive for organic revenue CAGR 2020-25 of 6% and the return to an adj. EBIT margin of 15%.

Comments

› Gross profit margin maintained on the level of about 30%

• › Other income/expenses in Q4 of the previous fiscal year contained €3.3m one-off income from PPA adjustment related to General Aerospace acquisition (cf. corresponding EBIT adjustment on the next page); in addition, exchange rate gains down by €1.1m due to y/y c. 20% higher MXN/EUR exchange rate (average rate in Q4)
• › Finance cost up by €2.3m due to the net foreign exchange losses from valuation of financial liabilities, particularly as a consequence of y/y c. 8% higher USD/EUR and c. 22% higher MXN/EUR exchange rates (closing rates as of Sept 30)
• › IFRS 16 impact: Recognition of all leases in the balance sheet leads to depreciation (instead of leasing expenses) in the same functional costs and in similar magnitude, i.e. there is no significant impact from IFRS 16 on the functional costs; interest expense from leases amounted to €0.4m in Q4 FY20 ( = positive effect on Q4 FY20's EBIT)

• › First time adoption of the IFRS 16 in FY2020 (from Oct 1, 2019 on, recognition of all leases in the balance sheet) led to an increase of PPE and other liabilities by €43.7m; as of September 2020, change in PPE at €29.9m, primarily due to scheduled depreciation; change in other liabilities at €38.7m (Sept 2020 vs. Sept 2019)
• › Decrease in other intangible assets by €46.9m comprises scheduled amortization and impairment loss (mainly on customer relationships in aerospace business; booked in Q3 FY20), partially offset by capitalized development costs
• › Trade receivables and payables decreased due to lower business activity; decrease in payables reflects early payments, in order to stabilize supply base
