9M 2021 – Financial highlights

2

2

In spite of the global tensions in the electronic materials supply chain, the company achieved very positive results also in Q3 2021 (over an already favourable Q3 2020, +7.7%): a double-digit revenue growth (~15.0%) on a like-for-like basis.

  • Excluding the adverse impact of the exchange rates, and the contribution coming from the acquisition of CFM and Enginia (~9.4m€) the organic revenues growth rate in the first 9M of the year remains well above 20% (+22.5%).
  • The positive trend in demand across the board that underpinned the first part of 2021 continued as well in Q3 2021. The lower magnitude of the growth in revenues in the last three months is exclusively related to the constraints imposed by global shortage of electronic material. In any case the higher backlog will be recovered in the next quarters.

  • Adj. EBITDA margin equal to 21.9%, up 230 bps on 9M 2020 and 220bps on FY 2020.
  • Excellent performance driven mainly by operating leverage offsetting higher raw material costs and a slightly different product mix due to the shortage.

Net of the M&A activity, NFP decreased by more than 30%: ~55m€ FFO easily covered ~14m€ increase in NWC (driven by an expected increase in inventory and higher revenues), ~14m€ capex and ~12m€ dividends.

9M 2021 – Org. rev. growth and profitability >21%

KPIs
m€ 9M 2020 9M 2021 Δ%
Revenue 248.0 310.3(1) 25.1%
Revenue FX Adj. 248.0 313.0 26.2%
Revenue (no M&A) 248.0 300.9 21.4%
EBITDA 48.5 66.0(2) 36.1%
EBITDA adj. 48.7 68.0(3) 39.6%
EBITDA Adj./Revenue 19.6% 21.9%
Net Profit 26.2 38.8 48.2%
Capex 7.8 13.8 77.0%

(1) Including ~9.4m€ from the inclusion of CFM and Enginia in the consolidation perimeter (2) Including approx 2.3m€ from the inclusion of CFM and Enginia in the consolidation perimeter (3)Excluding approx. 1.9m€ related mainly to M&A advisory costs.

  • Revenue +25.1%: The growth rate remains above 20% even net of the positive contribution coming from the inclusion in the scope of consolidation of CFM and Enginia (acquired between May and June 2021). It is above 20% also if we compare actual revenue with the results reported in the first 9M 2019 (the latter were not impacted by the COVID pandemic).
  • EBITDA adj. +39.6%: The very positive results reported in revenues were reflected in the EBITDA Adj. growth rate. On a like-forlike basis the growth rate would have been ~35%. In spite of the increasing tension on the supply chain the company managed to maintain profitability (EBITDA margin) close to what achieved in H1 2021 (21.9% against 22.4%).
  • Net Profit +48.2%: benefitting from the operating results. Significant improvement on 9M 2020 tax rate (20.8% against 23.0%) thanks mainly to a favourable geographic profit mix.
  • Capex: higher capex including the new plant in Croatia.

9M 2021 – Revenue breakdowns

  • EMEA In spite of the tight scenario due to the raw material shortage, the company managed to maintain an organic double-digit growth in Q3 (>13%).
  • APAC The exceptional growth in the area benefits from a strong performance in China together with a remarkable improvement in South APAC (Q3 2021 >15%).
  • Americas (North) Net of the contribution coming from M&A, Q3 confirms the growth trend already reported in H1 2021
  • Americas (South) Strong performance in the entire region.

  • HVAC: Net of the FX impact the total growth was nearly 25% (~20% organic), thanks to a very strong demand across all the applications. The slowdown in the growth pace reported in Q3 is exclusively attributable to the electronic material shortage.
  • Refrigeration: Even excluding the contribution coming from M&A, the growth reported in the sector would have been close to 25% thanks to a strong recovery in the investment cycle in Food retail and a significant focus on high efficiency. 4

K€ 9M '20 9M '21 Δ%
EBITDA 48,523 66,042 36.1%

EBIT 34,755 50,894 46.4%

Taxes -7,832 -10,283
Minorities -14 291
Group net profit 26,190 38,801 48.2%
  • Higher D&A mainly due to the change in the scope of consolidation (CFM and Enginia) and higher capex.
  • Higher financial charges due to IFRS 16 interest and accounting impact from put and call option on CFM acquisition.
  • FX losses mainly related to the operations in Brazil, Croatia and China.

Much lower Tax-rate (20.8%), compared to 23.0% in 9M 2020. It benefits from a favorable geographic profit mix.

9M 2021 – NFP Bridge

6

  • Excluding the impact of the M&A activity, NFP would have decreased by more than 30% thanks to a robust cash generation.
  • ΔNWC +13.7m€: Substantially stable compared to H1 2021 level. The increase compared to FY 2020 is due to : 1) a significant growth in revenues; 2) an expected increase in inventory to better cope with the global raw material shortage. 9M 2021 DSO improved compared to 9M 2020.
  • More than one third of the total 9M 2021 NFP is related to IFRS 16 accounting effect.

Closing Remarks

7

7

• The same positive trends reported in the first half of the year drove the demand, with the same intensity, in Q3:

  • HVAC - heat pumps, data centres and indoor air quality segments continued to grow.
  • Refrigeration the strong recovery in the investment cycle in Food Retail, helped also by regulation, is confirmed. Positive performance in Food Service.
    • COVID Pandemic and the current spike in the price of energy commodities are increasing the sensitivity for high-efficiency solutions.

  • As expected, tensions in the supply chain intensified in Q3. The impact on CAREL activities would have been heavier if the Company had not taken a number of significant countermeasures in the last 12 months: deployment of new production lines; chip-pivoting and homologation of alternative components; inventory increase.
  • COVID-19 inducted new lockdowns in South Asia in Q3 resulted in higher tensions in the electronic material shortage scenario.

Results

• In spite of the difficult supply chain conditions, the company managed to achieve in Q3 a ~15% LFL growth rate in revenues, keeping a 21% EBITDA adj. margin. This is even more remarkable considering that Q3 2020 already reported a 7.7% growth on previous year.

Guidance

Taking into account the very positive trend in demand along with a tight supply chain scenario CAREL moves its previous revenues growth rate guidance for FY 2021 from 15%-20% to 17%-19% (excluding any contribution from M&A).
