KEY FIGURES
1 adjusted for restructuring costs and impairment losses (see APM section)
2 includes all items classified as discontinued business and assets and liabilities held for sale as of March 31, 2022
3 includes assets and liabilities held for sale as of March 31, 2022
The adjusted gearing ratio (NIBD/adj. EBITDA) on LTM basis improved to 1.3 compared to 2.4 in Q1 2022. This is mainly due to the proceeds received from all divestitures completed throughout the year 2022 amounting to MEUR 289.8.
The equity ratio increased from 33.1% as of March 31, 2022, to 33.9% as of the end of the first quarter of 2023, despite the net loss of MEUR 16.9 in Q1 2023. This increase resulted from the profitable divestitures completed in 2022 as well as the redemption of MEUR 75.0 bond notes.

Group revenues amounted to MEUR 228.8 in the first quarter of 2023, exceeding the Q1 2022 revenues by MEUR 10.0 (+4.6%), despite negative currency translation effects of MEUR 2.8. This was mainly driven by the growth in the commercial vehicle markets in Americas and Europe, partially offset by the significant decline in the passenger car market in China.
Revenues in the commercial vehicles market amounted to MEUR 108.6, respectively MEUR 112.0 at constant currencies, an increase of MEUR 26.2 (+30.6%) compared to Q1 2022. Revenues in Europe amounted to MEUR 65.2, an increase of MEUR 16.7 (+31.5%) compared to Q1 2022 at constant currencies. Kongsberg Automotive significantly outperformed the market which grew by 4.8%. In Americas the revenues were MEUR 32.5, exceeding the revenues of Q1 2022 by MEUR 9.1 (+41.5%) at constant currencies while the market in this region grew by 4.7%. Revenues in Asia (incl. China) increased by MEUR 0.4 (+3.6%) compared to Q1 2022 at constant currencies, although the market in this region shrank by 7.2% compared to Q1 2022.
Revenues generated in the passenger car market amounted to MEUR 52.1, respectively MEUR 51.9 at constant currencies, a decrease of MEUR 7.1 (-12.0%) compared to Q1 2022. Revenues in China amounted to MEUR 12.0, a decrease of MEUR 10.4 (-45.8%) compared to Q1 2022 at constant currencies. This exceeded the decline of the market which shrank by -7.8%. In Europe revenues increased by MEUR 1.4 (+7.2%) to MEUR 19.8, which was below market growth (+17,3%). Revenues in Americas amounted to MEUR 19.8 and increased by MEUR 1.9 (+11.5%) while the market in this region grew by 10.5%.
The revenues generated in other markets amounted to MEUR 68.0 in Q1 2023 compared to MEUR 73.9 in Q1 2022. This is despite the divestment of Powersports business which contributed revenues of MEUR 19.9 in Q1 2022.
Adjusted EBIT was MEUR 4.1 in the first quarter 2023, which was MEUR 3.5 lower than in Q1 2022. The impact from the declining sales in the Chinese passenger car market could not fully be offset by the growing business in the commercial vehicles market in Europe and Americas. The fall through of Specialty Products was caused by a less favorable product mix.
Operating profit in Q1 2023 amounted to MEUR 3.6, compared to MEUR 8.0 in Q1 2022.
Net financial items amounted to negative MEUR 14.4 in the first quarter of 2023, compared to negative MEUR 3.6 in the same period in 2022. This was predominantly driven by unrealized IC foreign exchange losses amounting to MEUR 8.4 compared to gains of MEUR 3.7 in Q1 2022. This swing was mainly caused by the NOK weakening against the EUR by 8% in Q1 2023 compared to Q1 2022 when it appreciated by 4%. (See Note 5). Interest expenses decreased from MEUR 4.6 to MEUR 3.8 on the back of the bond redemption, while interest income increased from MEUR 0.1 to MEUR 0.4.
Loss before taxes amounted to MEUR 10.8 in the first quarter of 2023, compared to a profit before taxes of MEUR 4.4 in the same quarter of 2022. Net loss amounted to MEUR 16.9 in Q1 2023, compared to a net profit of MEUR 1.8 in Q1 2022. The tax expense of MEUR 6.1 consists of current taxes of MEUR 1.0 with the remainder being withholding taxes of MEUR 0.5 and deferred taxes of MEUR 4.6. The tax rate in Q1 2023 was predominantly impacted by the fact that losses incurred were considered not to be usable in the foreseeable future.

Cash flow used by operating activities amounted to MEUR 9.6 in Q1 2023, compared to MEUR 1.1 in Q1 2022 (continuing operation). This included a negative change in net working capital of MEUR 16.4 in Q1 2023, compared to the negative change of MEUR 13.9 in Q1 2022 from continuing operation. In addition, the tax payments in Q1 2023 of MEUR 8.8 were MEUR 6.3 higher compared to Q1, due to the settlement of tax liabilities resulting from the gain on the divestment to BRP in Q4 2022 and related withholding taxes.
Cash flow used by investing activities amounted to MEUR 6.1 compared to MEUR 4.1 (continuing operation) in Q1 2022. Cash flows used forinvestments in tangible and intangible assets at the amount of MEUR 6.8 in Q1 2023 were MEUR 2.5 higher than in Q1 2022.
Cash flow used by financing activities was MEUR 11.5 in the first quarter of 2023, compared to MEUR 109.5 (continuing operation) in the same quarter last year. The difference was primarily due to the repayment of the Revolving Credit Facility in Q1 2022 at the amount of MEUR 20.0 and the partial redemption of the bond notes in Q1 2022 at the amount of MEUR 75.0 plus a premium of MEUR 1.9. In Q1 2023 Kongsberg Automotive has repurchased treasury shares in the amount of MEUR 2.5. Furthermore, payments related to interests on bond in Q1 2023 were by MEUR 2.5 lower than in Q1 2022 due to the redemption of the bond notes completed in Q1 2022.
The repayment of lease liabilities amounted to MEUR 2.3 in Q1 2023 versus MEUR 4.3 in Q1 2022, as some leases were terminated or transferred during the divestitures. Total payment for interests on lease liabilities was MEUR 1.1.
The change in cash in Q1 2023 amounted to negative MEUR 33.2 compared to the balance as of December 31, 2022. The cash position was MEUR 179.7 at the end of the first quarter of 2023.
The liquidity reserve was MEUR 254.2 (excluding the restricted cash of MEUR 0.5) at the end of the first quarter 2023, compared to MEUR 287.4 as of December 31, 2022. The unutilized RCF amounted to MEUR 50.0 as of March 31, 2023. The unutilized Securitization facility was MEUR 25.0.

2 includes assets and liabilities held for sale as of March 31, 2022
Total assets were MEUR 780.2 at the end of the first quarter, a decrease of MEUR 17.7 from year-end 2022. Decrease in total assets as of March 31, 2023, was mainly driven by the decrease of the cash balance in Q1 2023.
Equity as of March 31, 2023, decreased by MEUR 15.8 (-5.6%) to MEUR 264.7 in comparison with December 31, 2022.
This is mainly caused by the net loss of MEUR 16.9. The positive other comprehensive income of MEUR 3.1 resulted from a positive change in translation differences on foreign operations of MEUR 38.6 exceeding the negative change on translation differences on non-foreign operations of MEUR 35.5, of which MEUR 21.9 are attributable to share capital, share premium and treasury shares. The share-based compensation of MEUR 0.5 contributed to the change in equity as of March 31, 2023. In addition, treasury shares at the amount of MEUR 2.5 were repurchased in Q1 2023 resulting in a total of treasury shares of MEUR 24.5 as of March 31, 2023. After completion of the last share buy-back transaction on January 27, 2023, the Company owns a total of 103,475,565 treasury shares, corresponding to 9.8% of Kongsberg Automotive's share capital.
Total interest-bearing liabilities amounted to MEUR 263.7, consisting mainly of the partially redeemed bond of MEUR 200.0 (MEUR 198.1 netted with the unamortized capitalized arrangement fees of MEUR 1.9) and lease interest-bearing liabilities of MEUR 65.5.
As of March 31, 2023, long-term interest-bearing debt amounted to MEUR 254.4.
At the end of the first quarter of 2023, net interest-bearing debt amounted to MEUR 84.0, an increase of MEUR 29.3 compared to year-end 2022, mainly driven by the decrease of the cash balance during Q1 2023.

Revenues in Powertrain & Chassis increased by MEUR 14.1 (+12.7%) to MEUR 124.8 in the first quarter 2023 compared to the same quarter in 2022, despite negative currency translation effects of MEUR 1.5. On a constant currency basis, revenues in Q1 2023 increased by MEUR 15.6 compared to Q1 2022, which was mainly driven by increases in the European and American commercial vehicle markets of MEUR 10.9 and MEUR 9.2, respectively. This was partially offset by the significant decrease of revenues in the passenger car market in China, which declined by MEUR 10.4. The Headrest business in Sweden, which had previously been part of the Interior segment, contributed revenues of MEUR 2.7 in Q1 2023.
Adjusted EBIT was MEUR 1.9 in the first quarter 2023, a decrease of MEUR 2.5 (-56.8%) compared to the adjusted EBIT in Q1 last year. The impact from the declining sales in the Chinese passenger car market could not fully be offset by the increasing business in the commercial vehicles market in Europe and Americas.
Business wins amounted to MEUR 128.7 of lifetime revenues (MEUR 48.3 in annualized revenues) in the first quarter of 2023.
Within the quarter, P&C was awarded two significant contracts: (1) to supply rotary actuators to a Chinese automobile manufacturer (MEUR 8.7 expected annual revenue, MEUR 26.0 expected lifetime revenue) and (2) to supply shifter systems to a European car manufacturer (MEUR 9.6 expected annual revenue, MEUR 28.8 expected lifetime revenue).

Revenues in Specialty Products decreased by MEUR 1.9 (-1.8%) to MEUR 104.0 compared to the first quarter of 2022, including negative currency translation effects of MEUR 1.3. Excluding the sales from business divested to BRP (MEUR 19.9) the segment grew by MEUR 19.1 on constant currency basis. This was mainly driven by the growth of the Flow Control Systems' revenues in Europe and the United Stated at MEUR 12.8 and MEUR 2.2, respectively.
Adjusted EBIT was MEUR 8.1 in the first quarter of 2023, a decrease of MEUR 1.0 (-11.0%) compared to the same quarter of last year. The decrease in fall through was mainly caused by a less favorable product mix.
During the first quarter 2023, total business wins amounted to MEUR 69.4 of lifetime revenues (MEUR 23.0 in annualized revenues).
Within the quarter, Specialty Products was awarded two significant contracts: (1) to supply PTFE lined hoses to a major North American industrial supplier (MEUR 5.2 in expected annual revenue and MEUR 31.0 in expected lifetime revenue) as well as (2) to supply air couplings to a European agricultural machinery manufacturer (MEUR 2.2 in expected annual revenue and MEUR 10.7 in expected lifetime revenue).

NOTE 1 – DISCLOSURES
Kongsberg Automotive ASA and its subsidiaries develop, manufacture and sell products to the automotive and commercial vehicle industry globally. Kongsberg Automotive ASA is a limited liability company, which is listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange. The consolidated interim financial statements are not audited.
This condensed consolidated interim financial information, for the three months ended March 31, 2023, has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 "Interim financial reporting". The condensed consolidated interim financial information should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the year ended on December 31, 2022, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS.
The accounting policies are consistent with those of the annual financial statements for the year ended on December 31, 2022, as described in those annual financial statements. Taxes on income in the interim periods are accrued using the estimated effective tax rate.
Risks and opportunities for the financial year are subject to a high level of uncertainty and are continuously monitored, evaluated and, if applicable, taken into account in planning during the year.
Due to the geopolitical risks, especially due to the Russia-Ukraine war, global macroeconomic risks have significantly increased and have led to further increases in costs for raw material, energy and transportation and considerably higher inflation rates worldwide than in comparable periods. Rising inflation rates could reduce purchasing power, adversely affect end customer behavior, and put a damper on demand on the products offered to customers.
The single most important risk that Kongsberg Automotive is exposed to is the development of demand in the end markets for light duty and commercial vehicles worldwide. As Kongsberg Automotive operates in many countries, Kongsberg Automotive is vulnerable to currency risk. The most significant external currency exposure is associated with the USD exchange rate. As most of the revenues are earned from automotive OEMs and automotive Tier 1 and Tier 2 customers, the financial health of these automotive companies is critical to the credit risk.
On the supply side Kongsberg Automotive is exposed to risks related to the availability and cost of copper, brass, resin, zinc, aluminum, steel, and electronic components.
During the last few months energy prices in Europe are showing reduction after peaking in Q4 2022, raw materials are coming down, however labor costs and overall inflation remain high. Furthermore, the Company's business operations kept being impacted by the volatility in the supply of semiconductors directly and indirectly impacting production at many OEMs. It requires effective management as this had an adverse impact on business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. This has created the need to adapt to new challenges by the creation of new programs that allow to mitigate the negative operational and financial consequences of such disruptions.
Kongsberg Automotive faces both climate change related risks and opportunities arising from climate change itself and from actions taken in climate change mitigating. These are embedded in the Company's risk management and business strategy. The financial implications of risks of climate change can be classified into two types of risks: physical risks and transition risks. Physical risks are related to the increase and severity of extreme weather and long-term climate changes. Transition risks are related to the decarbonization including new technological advances and requirements imposed by regulators or public opinion. Both are considered in the Company's risk assessment as part of the annual budget process and in impairment testing at year end. There is still significant uncertainty about the future financial impact of climate risks and opportunities. During the budget process, several scenarios are considered, and the best estimate is included in the assumptions for the final budget. As of March 31, 2023, climate risk changes have not resulted in adjustments to the useful lives of long-term assets. Further, climate related risk considerations have not resulted in adjustments of the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities.
The Group's quarterly results are to some extent influenced by seasonality. The seasonality is mainly driven by the vacation period in the third quarter and December each year having lower sales. Also, year-over-year seasonality differences may occur as a result of varying number of working days in each quarter.

This section describes the non-GAAP financial measures that are used in this report and in the quarterly presentation.
The following measures are neither defined nor specified in the applicable financial reporting framework of the IFRS GAAP. They may be considered as non-GAAP financial measures that may include or exclude amounts that are calculated and presented according to the IFRS GAAP.
EBIT, earnings before interest and tax, is defined as the earnings excluding the effects of how the operations were financed, taxed and excluding foreign exchange gains & losses. Adjusted EBIT is defined as EBIT excluding unusual or non-recurring items as well as restructuring items. Restructuring items include consultancy fees in relation to the Company's performance improvement program and portfolio transformation.
EBIT is used as a measure of operational profitability. Consequently, the Group also reports the adjusted EBIT, which is the EBIT excluding restructuring items and impairment losses.
| (MEUR) | Q1 2023 | Q1 2022 | YTD 2023 | YTD 2022 | FY 2022 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Operating profit / EBIT | 3.6 | 8.0 | 3.6 | 8.0 | 63.1 |
| Restructuring items | 0.5 | (0.5) | 0.5 | (0.5) | 12.3 |
| Gain on sale of part of the Off-Highw ay business |
0.0 | 0.0 | 0.0 | 0.0 | (41.1) |
| Impairment losses | 0.0 | 0.0 | 0.0 | 0.0 | 1.3 |
| Adjusted EBIT | 4.1 | 7.6 | 4.1 | 7.6 | 35.6 |
EBITDA is defined as EBIT (previously defined) before depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is therefore EBITDA excluding restructuring items and impairment losses.
EBITDA is used as an additional measure of the Group's operational profitability, excluding the impact from depreciation and amortization.

Free Cash Flow is measured based on sum of cash flow from operating activities, investing activities, financial activities, and currency and translation effects on cash flow (together described as Change in cash), excluding net draw-down/repayment of debt and proceeds received from capital increase/purchase of treasury shares.
The Group considers that this measurement illustrates the amount of additional cash generated by the Group that it has at its disposal to pursue additional investments or to repay debt.
The table below includes only the cash flows from the continuing operation.

Net Interest-Bearing Debt (NIBD) consists of interest-bearing liabilities less cash and cash equivalents.
The Group risk of default and financial strength is measured by the net interest-bearing debt. It shows the Group's financial position and leverage. As cash and cash equivalents can be used to repay debt, NIBD shows the net overall financial position of the Group.

Capital Employed is equal to operating assets less operating liabilities. Operating assets and liabilities are items, which are involved in the process of producing and selling goods and services. Long-term financial assets and obligations are excluded, as those are involved in raising cash for operations and disbursing excess cash from operations.
Capital Employed is measured to assess how much capital is needed for the operations/business to function and evaluate if the capital employed can be utilized more efficiently and/or if operations should be discontinued.

Adjusted Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) is based on adjusted EBIT for the last twelve months divided by the average of capital employed at the beginning and end of the period.
Adjusted Return on Capital Employed is used to measure the return on the capital employed without taking into consideration the way the operations and assets are financed during the period under review. The Group considers this ratio as appropriate to measure the return of the period.
