FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AND NON-IFRS MEASURES

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This presentation contains certain "forward-looking statements". These statements are based on management's current expectations and are subject to risks, uncertainty and changes in circumstances, which may cause actual results, performance, financial condition or achievements to differ materially from anticipated results, performance, financial condition or achievements. All statements contained herein that are not clearly historical in nature are forward-looking and the words "anticipate," "believe," "expect," "estimate," "plan," and similar expressions are generally intended to identify forward-looking statements. We have no intention and are under no obligation to update or alter (and expressly disclaim any such intention or obligation to do so) our forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except to the extent required by law. The forward-looking statements in this presentation include statements addressing our future financial condition and operating results. Examples of factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements include, among others, business, economic, competitive and regulatory risks, such as conditions affecting demand for products, particularly in the automotive industries; competition and pricing pressure; fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices; natural disasters and political, economic and military instability in countries in which we operate; developments in the credit markets; future goodwill impairment; compliance with current and future environmental and other laws and regulations; and the possible effects on us of changes in tax laws, tax treaties and other legislation. More detailed information about these and other factors is set forth in the 2023 Kongsberg Automotive Annual Report and the Kongsberg Automotive Quarterly Reports.

Executive summary

DRIVE CONTROL SYSTEMS BUSINESS AREA UPDATE

REVENUES, MEUR

Q2 2024

  • > Revenues decreased by MEUR 10.3 (at constant currencies) compared to Q2 2023, which was mainly driven by the decline of the European commercial vehicle market, partially offset by increases in sales in the Americas. Additionally, off-highway business was impacted by the softening market.
  • > The impact of declining volumes on Q2 2024 EBIT was mitigated by favorable product mix and lower warranty expenses than in Q2 2023, but more than offset by benefits from operational improvements in variable costs and other operational costs.

  • > Last year's Q2 EBIT was positively impacted by the one-time customer reimbursement while the operational improvements in Q2 2024 were partially offset by unfavorable product mix.

1Change in revenues at constant currencies and changes to vehicle production levels for selected regions and markets from Q2 2023 to Q2 2024. The split across vehicle types does not correspond to our business unit segments

Please note that in the Q1 2024 Earnings Call Presentation the growth in the global commercial vehicles market was wrongly reported as 5.2% instead of 2.0% and the growth in the Chinese commercial vehicles market was wrongly reported as 4.8% instead of 17.7%.

> COMMERCIAL VEHICLES

  • » KA's sales in Q2 2023 were exceptionally high, especially in relation to Clutch Actuation Systems in Europe. Decrease in KA's sales in Q2 2024 versus Q2 2023 followed the declining production output in the European market.
  • » Revenues from the commercial vehicle market in the Americas have increased compared to Q2 2023, outperforming the market growth, mainly due to sales growth for Clutch Actuation Systems and Gear Shift Systems.
  • » Despite the growth in the Chinese market, KA's sales declined in Q2 2024, mainly due to decrease in sales of the Couplings products.

> PASSENGER VEHICLES

  • » Declining KA's sales in Europe were in line with the negative performance of the market itself and was mainly attributable to the certain completed customer programs (predominantly Gear Shift Systems), partially offset by increase in sales of Assemblies in FTS.
  • » KA's sales in the Americas remained stable on a comparable level to Q2 2023, while the market in this region shrank slightly. KA's sales in China declined mainly due to the lower sales of Gear Shift Systems to one of the European car makers, despite a 7.7% growth in production output in China.

  1. EBIT from discontinued operations (related to the divested business) was excluded in 2021 and 2022 accordingly.

REVENUES & EBIT BRIDGES IMPROVED PROFITABILITY DESPITE LOWER VOLUME

DCS

The impact of declining volumes on Q2 2024 EBIT was mitigated by favorable product mix and lower warranty expenses than in Q2 2023, but more than offset by benefits from operational improvements in variable costs and other operational costs.

FCS

Last year's Q2 EBIT was positively impacted by the one-time customer reimbursement while the operational improvements in Q2 2024 were partially offset by unfavorable product mix.

OTHER OPERATIONS

EBIT for Q2 2023 was primarily impacted by the impairment on non-current assets of former Driveline business (excluding EAC) of MEUR 10.6 (non-core business). In Q2 2024 operating result benefitted from the impairment of assets and onerous contracts provisions recorded in 2023.

NET INCOME BRIDGE IMPROVED OPERATIONAL AND FINANCIAL RESULT

NET INCOME, MEUR

EBIT

Despite decline in revenues by MEUR 16.7, KA's profitability improved by MEUR 18.9. For more information, please refer to slide 20.

CURRENCY GAINS/LOSSES

With no realized foreign exchange losses incurred in Q2 2024, unrealized foreign currency gains were significantly higher by MEUR 3.4 compared to Q2 2023 and amounted to MEUR 3.5, which was mainly driven by Norwegian Kroner being less weakening in Q2 2024 than in Q2 2023.

OTHER FINANCIAL ITEMS

Due to the accelerated repayment of the old Euro bond notes, the unamortized capitalized arrangement fees of MEUR 1.0 were expensed in Q2 2024

TAX

Income tax expenses in Q2 2024 included withholding taxes at MEUR 1.4 whereas in Q2 2023 deferred tax assets could not be not recognized.
