9M 2022 – Highlights

2

2

In the first 9M 2022 the company managed to keep an excellent organic revenue growth rate (Q3 2022 is the seventh consecutive quarter in which CAREL reported a double digit organic revenue growth). Adding to this the strong effort in M&A activity (4 deals completed) and a continuous commitment in ESG.

  • Excluding the positive impact of the exchange rates, and the contribution coming from the M&A activity (~22m€) the organic revenue growth rate reported is +19.0%.
  • CAREL managed to take advantage of very positive trends experienced in a certain number of applications in HVAC (Heat pumps; Indoor Air Quality; Data centres) and in Refrigeration, in spite of a supply chain scenario still very challenging to which is added a difficult geo-political and macro-economic context.

  • EBITDA margin equal to 21.4%: higher on FY 2021 and in line with H1 2022 level. Net of ~1.8m€ non-recurring M&A activity costs, the EBITDA margin would have been 21.9%
  • The partial deployment of the effects deriving from previous price-list increases and the positive operating leverage effects partly offset higher raw materials cost due to the shortage.

  • M&A pipeline remains active. During 9M 2022 CAREL completed 4 bolt-on transactions:
    • Acquisition of 70% of the share capital of Sauber
    • Acquisition of a further 30% stake in Arion
    • Acquisition of 100% of Klingenburg
    • Acquisition of 100% of Senva

M&A – 2022 – Senva

  • Company profile: SENVA is a US company located in Oregon specialising in the design and manufacture of a wide range of sensors, mainly in the air-conditioning and ventilation sectors, and with a significant presence in indoor air quality.
  • Rationale: the acquisition of SENVA is a further step towards the process of external growth through complementary products in reference applications that began in 2018. As in the case of Arion's acquisition (April 2022), the focus in the sensors segment is key to making products more efficient and more connected to their ecosystem, while also facilitating the activation of digital services. Furthermore, Numerous synergies can be achieved through the integration of CAREL and SENVA
  • Transaction structure: Carel Industries S.p.A acquires all SENVA Inc.'s business through a SPV held by Carel USA Inc., Carel Industries S.p.A.'s US subsidiary. That acquisition is valued at USD 34 million. CAREL will also make an additional payment of up to USD 4 million tied to certain EBITDA results, for a total potential acquisition value of USD 38 million.

M&A – 2022 – Klingenburg

  • Company profile: Klingenburg GmbH and Klingenburg International Sp. Z.o.o. are leading producers of a wide range of products used mainly for heat recovery in ventilation and humidification systems, adiabatic cooling and air purification.
  • Rationale: The transaction rationale is mainly attributable to the high degree of complementarity between Recuperator and Klingenburg in relation to the respective technologies of specialisation (plate exchangers for Recuperator and rotary for Klingenburg) and to the application areas. Furthermore it will strengthen CAREL's profile as a supplier of complete control solutions with high added value in the conditioning and refrigeration industry, with energy efficiency as one of their main characteristics.
  • Transaction structure: The transaction, through which CAREL Industries S.p.A. takes over control of Klingenburg GmbH and Klingenburg International Sp. Z.o.o. via the acquisition of 100% of the share capital of the German and Polish companies, took place in response to an Enterprise Value of Euro 12.0 million (adjusted for approximately 2 million deferred capex).

(1) Incl. ~21.4m€ (change in the consolidation perimeter); (2) Incl. ~4.7m€ (change in the consolidation perimeter); (3) Incl. ~1.8m€ (M&A expenses)

  • Revenue +29.3%: Q3 2022 substantially confirmed the same growth trends and the magnitude already reported in the first part of the year in spite of a persistent challenging scenario (supply chain tensions, cost inflation, slow-down in global economy). Excluding the positive contribution coming from M&A and FX the reported organic growth is equal to 19%. It is worth noting that the growth rate reported in 9M 2021 was already very high (+25%).
  • EBITDA +30.1%: The very positive results reported in revenues were reflected in the EBITDA growth rate. Q3 2022 EBITDA margin equal to 21.3% (22.4% on an adjusted base) thanks to the full deployment of previous price-list increases, along with operating leverage which helped in recovering part of the raw material cost inflation.
  • Net Profit +35.7%: benefitting from the operating results. 20.8% Tax-rate in line with as reported in 9M 2021
  • Capex: higher capex including the new plant in Croatia.

9M 2022 – Revenue breakdowns

  • EMEA Robust growth rate confirmed also in Q3 2022. 9M 2022 LFL growth rate equal to 19%
  • APAC Acceleration in Q3 in the whole area, in spite of prolonged and strict numerous lock-downs in China. South APAC still over performing (9M 2022 growth rate at constant FX >25%)
  • Americas (North) Even excluding M&A contribution and the positive FX impact, the growth rate reported would have been approximately 20%.
  • Americas (South) Growth rate acceleration continued in Q3 thanks to very positive performance also outside Brazil and to seasonality in the Refrigeration sector.

  • HVAC: Excellent growth confirmed (>20% excluding M&A and FX), driven by a strong demand across the board also in Q3 (particularly strong in heat pumps, Indoor air quality and data centers).
  • Refrigeration: Excluding M&A and FX the growth rate would have been ~17%. In the first 9M of the year demand remained robust also thanks to the transition towards low GWP refrigerants. 6

9M 2022 – NFP Bridge

  • Robust cash generation was offset by a strategic increase in NWC along with the payment of 2021 dividends. Approximately 14m€ impact deriving from M&A
  • ΔNWC +39.9m€: The significant increase in NWC is mainly due to higher revenues (DSO are substantially the same compared to 9M 2021) and a strategic consolidation of the safety stock (~21m€) in order to be more resilient in such challenging raw material shortage scenario. It is worth nothing that the level of NWC and inventory stock remained substantially stable compared to H1 2022.
  • Approximately 40% of the total 9M 2022 NFP is related to IFRS 16 accounting effect.

ESG rating - Update

9

  • In October 2022 CAREL was upgraded to "AA" in the MSCI ESG Ratings assessment.
  • This upgrade is part of a continuous improvement path which brought CAREL from "B" in 2019 to "AA" in 2022.
  • CAREL is now in the "ESG Leaders" category according to MSCI ESG rating assessment: "A company leading its industry in managing the most significant ESG risks and opportunities".

  • Between April and June 2022 CAREL took part for the first time in the ECOVADIS rating process. Ecovadis is the most important Global ESG rating provider, with more than 90K companies rated.

  • ECOVADIS Rating is particularly valuable for the supply chain, often representing a pre-requisite to be chosen as a supplier.

Closing Remarks

10

10

  • Solid growth trend across the board and in all the regions confirmed also in Q3 2022 (seventh consecutive quarter reporting a double-digit organic growth). Some applications continue to stand out such as heat pumps, data centers, Indoor Air Quality in HVAC and Food Retail in Refrigeration thanks also to secular trends, such as electrification, and regulation.
  • Strong effort of the company in increasing flexibility, efficiency, time-to-market, sustainability: new plant in Croatia completed; digitalization process' milestone achieved; ESG ratings improvement.

  • In 9M 2022 CAREL completed four bolt-on acquisitions with a significant strategic potential:
    • Sauber Strengthening Group's positioning in the services area.
    • Arion Securing the supply chain and opening new opportunities in the sensors field
    • Klingenburg Completing CAREL's offering in Heat exchangers for AHUs.
    • SENVA Widening opportunities in smart and high value added sensors sector.

  • Challenges: The persistence of the electronic material shortage, the relentless rise in inflation rate, the geopolitical tensions and the restrictive monetary policy adopted by the Fed and ECB are all elements that could hamper global growth in the next quarters.
  • Opportunities: Transition to low GWP refrigerants is already gaining traction also outside Europe (Kigali Amendment ratification by China and India and authorized by the US Senate). Booming Heat pumps market, in particular in Europe due to he REPowerEU regulation.
