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.

NON-IFRS MEASURES

Where we have used non-IFRS financial measures, reconciliations to the most comparable IFRS measure are provided, along with a disclosure on the usefulness of the non-IFRS measure, in this presentation.

IMPROVE PROFITABILITY AND CASH GENERATION REDUCE CE TO INCREASE ROCE

2024

Impairments and write-offs taken in Q2 and Q4 2023 are currently negatively impacting ROCE based on last twelve months EBIT.

Q1 2024 only is at 12.4%.

With EBIT expectations of EURM 39 – 44 for 2024, ROCE will improve through the year to a level of 12 – 13% by Q4 2024, supported also by a reduced average Capital Employed.

SECURE ACHIEVEMENT OF MID-TERM AMBITIONS GROWTH THE MAIN DRIVER TO SUCCEED

2024 - 2028

Strong revenue growth in the core businesses with higher contribution will more than compensate for the expected decline in the non-core business.

Further topline impact from additional price adjustments to compensate for potential material cost increases / inflation. In combination with internal productivity measures, the bottom-line effect needs to be eliminated.

Aggressive cost reduction in the non-core further contributing.

PROVIDE FINANCIAL STABILITY AND FLEXIBILITY

Illustrative observation Illustrative observation Illustrative observation Illustrative observation

+11% Automotive active safety system market CAGR (2022-2032)

REGULATIONS INFLUENCING MARKET DEVELOPMENT

Updated regulations for passenger vehicle (PV) and commercial vehicle (CV) markets drive further enhancements in conventional ICE engines and increase pressure on OEMS to accelerate introduction of CO2 neutral vehicles.

Consumer behavior and development of needed infrastructure to support certain technologies (electrification, hydrogen ) is challenging, forcing to deploy a diverse range of technologies.

  • > CV won't achieve 100% reduction within the next 20 years
  • > As BEV penetration is too slow, many OEMS are forced to go for additional technologies shortterm to close the gap
  • > Alternatives are synthetic-, bio-fuels and fuel cell vehicles
