THE "CHINA EFFECT" A SET OF NEXT-GENERATION SMART ACTUATORS COMBINED WITH SPECIFIC COUNTERMEASURES WILL HELP KA ADDRESS THE "CHINA EFFECT"
REVENUES, MEUR

ALREADY ACCOUNTED FOR IN OUR GUIDANCE
In Q1, KA was affected by a revenue drop 20 MEUR in China (2022 2023) caused mainly by:
- > Short term, temporary lower car sales compared to plan
- » To start to improve according to Market Forecasts Institutes from Q2/Q3 and onwards
- > Short term, temporary product mix effect in P&C as premium truck expected to recover slightly later, from second half of 2023. An area where KA is usually very successful in partnerships with some strong Tier 1's
- » CV market is expected to significantly increase from the second half onwards
- > Government regulation changes within the DRIVELINE business where ARC Actuators potentially get substituted by Electrical Park Brakes.
- » Revenue decline will be more than offset by KA's next generation SMART Actuators, with major focus on trucks
The above effects led to a gap of 4.6 MEUR on adj. EBIT in Q1, and up to 10 MEUR for the entire year.
