CAREL INDUSTRIES S.p.A. 2022 – Q1 Results

Q1 2022 – Financial highlights

2

2

For the fifth consecutive quarter Carel reported a double digit revenues growth. Q1 2022 results were underpinned by a very strong demand both in HVAC and in Refrigeration, substantially confirming the acceleration reported in several applications during 2021. On top of this the positive contribution from M&A.

  • Excluding the positive impact of the exchange rates, and the contribution coming from the acquisition of CFM and Enginia (~8m€) the organic revenues growth rate reported remains above 20% (+21.7%).
  • Such a significant growth was made possible by the ability of the company to cope with the raw material shortage scenario, which, in Q1 2022 did not show improving signals compared to the last quarters.

  • EBITDA margin equal to 21.1%, substantially in line with FY 2021.

  • The positive operating leverage effects along with a moderate increase in sale prices offset higher raw materials costs due to the shortage.

• As a part of the strategy to better face the actual and possible future shortage scenario, CAREL, as already anticipated, increased its safety stock by ~9m€.

Q1 2022 – Results

(1) Including ~7.8m€ from the inclusion of CFM and Enginia in the consolidation perimeter (2) Including approx 2.1m€ from the inclusion of CFM and Enginia in the consolidation perimeter

  • Revenue +32.1%: In spite of the challenging scenario related to the electronic material shortage phenomenon, the company managed to grow organically above 20%, thanks to its resilience. It is worth noting that the growth rate reported in Q1 2021 was already significant (+24%)
  • EBITDA +23.8%: The very positive results reported in revenues were reflected in the EBITDA growth rate. The company managed to recover part of the raw material cost inflation thanks to operating leverage and a number of price increases set during the last 12 months.
  • Net Profit +22.8%: benefitting from the operating results. Tax-rate substantially aligned with expectations (20.5%)
  • Capex: higher capex including the new plant in Croatia.

Q1 2022 – Revenue breakdowns

4

  • EMEA The same growth rate trend reported in FY 2021, in one of the most important geographic areas, continue (~22% growth on a LFL basis) in spite of the raw materials shortage phenomenon.
  • APAC Very positive performance in China, taking also into consideration that China Q1 2022 GDP growth (+4.8%) halved compared to FY 2021 (+8.1%)
  • Americas (North) Even excluding M&A contribution and the positive FX impact, the growth rate reported would have been higher than 20%.
  • Americas (South) Growth rate partly capped by the shortage. Seasonal trend in Brazil.

  • HVAC: Excellent growth (~24% excluding M&A), driven by a strong demand across the board. The acceleration in heat pumps, Indoor air quality and data centers continued in Q1 2022.

  • Refrigeration: Even excluding the contribution coming from M&A, the growth reported in the sector would have been higher than 20% thanks mainly to the energy efficiency/natural refrigerants trend in food retail. Good results also in Food Service. 4

From EBITDA to Net Profit

Higher D&A mainly due to the purchase price allocation amortisation

• Financial charges in line with Q1 21

Slight tax-rate increase (20.5%), compared to 19.4% reported in Q1 2022 due to different country mix.

5

Q1 2022 – NFP Bridge

  • Robust cash generation was offset by an expected increase in NWC.
  • ΔNWC +24.4m€: The significant increase in NWC is mainly due to higher revenues (DSO are substantially the same compared to Q1 2021) and a strategic consolidation of the safety stock (~9m€) in order to be more resilient in such challenging raw material shortage scenario.
  • Slightly less than half of the total Q1 2022 NFP is related to IFRS 16 accounting effect.

6

Closing Remarks

Challenges • The electronic material shortage phenomenon and inflation have not shown any signs of relief/recovery compared to 2021. • The current lock-down situation in Shanghai and the possible extension to Bejing could create further disruption in the supply chain.HVAC/Ref. scenario remains very positive in terms of demand. Some applications continue to stand out such as heat pumps, data centers, Indoor Air Quality in HVAC and Food Retail in Refrigeration. • Thanks to its broad range of solutions and its resilience CAREL managed to take advantage of this favourable scenario, mitigating the effect of raw-materials shortage and scoring a double-digit organic growth in revenues for the fifth consecutive quarter. • CAREL has already taken significant initiatives in the last 18 months to increase its resilience: Chippivoting one fifth of the microprocessors embedded in its products, extending purchasing orders length, increasing safety stock, gradually increasing prices. • On top of this the imminent coming on stream of the new plant in Croatia will add further production flexibility. Q1 2022 Results Resilience

Guidance

The very positive demand scenario and the resilience shown by CAREL over time will be fundamental in coping with the above-mentioned challenges. Thanks to this, the Company expect to report also in Q2 2022 a significant growth even if with a lower magnitude than in Q1. Expectations are to report a low-to-mid double-digit growth in revenues (on a like for like – QoQ basis).
