H1 2024 – Highlights

4

4

As expected, Q2 2024 substantially confirmed Q1 2024 main trends and results in terms of revenues and profitability. A gradual improvement is expected in H2 2024

• Reported revenues equal to 291.5m€, -11.7% on H1 2023 (-15.8% on a LFL and constant exchange rates base).
• This is mainly attributable to the poor performance in the EMEA area: Heat pumps sale decline confirmed in Q2 2024; Refrigeration still down but with a sequential slight improvement.
• H1 2023 comps are particularly high due to the backlog recovery after the easing of the electronic material shortage. Q2 2023 revenues have been the highest ever reported by the company.

-11.7%

Revenue growth

• EBITDA margin equal to 18.3%, in continuity with Q1 2024 (18.2%). The difference between the actual figure and H1 2023 (22.0%), is due to the negative operating leverage effect. A number of initiatives to contain discretionary expenses have been implemented.
• R&D investments on revenues ratio brought back closer to its historical level: >5%.

• NFP includes 44m€ for the acquisition of the residual 49% stake in CFM, 13m€ capex, 33m€ ΔNWC and 21m€ dividends.
• NFP/LTM EBITDA <1x. Net of 32.7m€ related to the IFRS16 accounting principle, this ratio would be close to 0.6x.

H1 2024 – Results

• Revenue -11.7%: Guidance confirmed, Q2 2024 substantially in line with Q1 2024. 13.4m€ revenues coming from a change in the scope of consolidation thanks mainly to Kiona (~15% recurring revenues growth).
• EBITDA -26.7%: Double-digit revenues decline negatively affected EBITDA. The reduction in profitability compared to 2023 is due to the operating leverage effect partly mitigated by higher gross profitability. R&D expenses on revenues >5%. Accretive profitability from Kiona (>25%).
• Net Profit -30.9%: Capital gains from put/call options on minorities offset 3.5m€ financial charges. Tax rate close to 23%, substantially in line with H1 2023 (22.5%).
• Capex: Higher capex mainly related to R&D and to an enlargement of the Klingenburg polish plant. 5% capex/revenues target ratio is confirmed.

H1 2024 – Revenue breakdowns

6

• EMEA Sharp slow-down in HPs sector confirmed due also to high inventory level in the supply chain. The latter is present, even at a lesser extent, also in other verticals. Refrigeration demand still down. Very misleading comps.
• APAC Very high comps in Q2 2023 (>24m€), a weaker than expected Chinese economy and some projects timing explain the decrease in revenues.
• Americas (North) North America excellent momentum continues: Very positive performance thanks to data centres, to a strong interest towards energy efficiency (Valves/Inverters) and to a sustained demand in refrigeration (also in CO2 equipment). Again, positive performance from SENVA.
• Americas (South) Good results reported, in particular in Brazil combined with a mixed scenario in other countries in the region.

• HVAC: the deceleration started in Q3 2023 worsened sequentially and stabilized in Q2 2024. On a LFL basis, H1 2024 vs. H1 2023 equal to -17% mainly due to a temporary negative trend in HP plus very high comps.
• Refrigeration: mixed results. The investment cycle in the EMEA area is still stagnating, while a very good growth is visible in the US together with a focus on natural refrigerants and energy efficiency.

• Higher D&A mainly due to the purchase price allocation amortization (Kiona).
• Higher Financial charges due to the macro trend on interest rates and non-cash interests linked to the put-call options on a number of minority stakes.
• FX gain linked to a favorable FX effects on Kiona's put/call option expressed in NOK.
• Capital gain from the FV on the acquisition of 49% of CFM.
• CCEM positive results mainly related to Free Polska.
• Tax-rate (22.9%) substantially in line with H1 2023 (22.5%).

• Total NFP equal to ~102m€ including 21m€ dividends and 44m€ M&A due to the acquisition of the residual 49% stake in CFM.
• CAPEX 13m€. A significant share was devoted to the completion of the new research lab in the HQ and the expansion of the Klingenburg plant in Poland to increase efficiency in our mechanics production process.
• ΔNWC +33m€: The increase in the NWC is due to seasonal factors, lower payables linked to lower purchases and the dynamic of inventory. Working capital on LTM revenues equal to ~17%.

Focus on «Variable Speed Compressor technology»

• "Variable speed compressor technology" has been a game changer in in the last 10 years, in particular in Europe.
• Two are key elements in this technology: Electronic Expansion Valves (EEVs) and Inverters.
• Carel globally doubled the number of its EEVs sold and scored a 5x for its inverters between 2018-2023.
• The North America market is still rather small compared to other regions but is showing an unmistakable strong acceleration (H1 2024 reported strong revenues growth on H1 2023: EEV >30%; Inverter ~50%).
• This acceleration is driven by: 1) a major interest towards energy efficiency; 2) Regulations (DoE minimum energy efficiency thresholds); 3) Data Centers expansion.
• Carel is extremely well positioned to exploit this new trend in this geography.

Closing Remarks

H1 2024 Results

• As expected, the generalized slow-down in the EMEA area, underpinned by a negative peak in HPs performance, continued also in Q2 2024. This was due to a decline in demand coupled with high inventory level in some verticals. Very positive performance in North and South America. Mixed results in APAC.
• High comps effect, due partly to an extraordinary factor (backlog recovery in the first part of 2023) was even more challenging in Q2 2024, the highest quarter ever recorded by CAREL.
• 18.3% EBITDA margin confirming the Q1 2024 trend. The difference compared to H1 2023 (22.0%) was due to revenues trend/operating leverage.

Opex containment initiatives

• In the last few months, the company launched a certain number of initiatives to contain opex. The effort put in place by the company in this activity has resulted in keeping overhead expenses in line with 2023 in spite of the change in the consolidation perimeter and higher R&D expenses.

• Mixed macro-economic scenario: 1) Europe's GDP growth still flattish in spite of a 25bps first interest rate cut in June. A possible new cut could materialize in September; 2) US economy proved to be robust also in Q2 2024 (GDP +2.8%); 3) China's GDP growth in Q2 was 4.7%, the lowest since Q1 2023.
• HVAC/Ref.: HPs segment still under pressure and slower than expected recovery in refrigeration in the EMEA area. Mixed signals from APAC region. Positive view on North and South America.

Expectations are for a gradual improvement in the H2 2024 scenario: a progressive recovery in the refrigeration investment cycle and the reduction of the inventory level in the supply chain. Therefore, the Group expects to report Q3 consolidated revenues close to those of the second quarter and FY 2024 consolidated revenues close to 600m€.
