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 2021 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.

MACROECONOMIC UNCERTAINTY POSITIVE DEVELOPMENT FOR KA WITHIN COMMERCIAL VEHICLES

* Change in revenues at constant currencies and changes to vehicle production levels for selected regions and markets from Q4 2021 to Q4 2022. The split across vehicle types does not correspond to our business unit segments – see p. 7 and 8 in the quarterly report for details.

  • > Due to the right brands and product mix, KA outperformed the market growth in the Commercial Vehicle segment.
  • > Even though some of KA's largest customers experienced a decline in production in Q4, KA was able to maintain and increase sales to some of our long-term customers. That goes for both markets in Europe and the Americas. Price increases were also contributing positively.
  • > In Eastern Europe, mainly Russian CV OEMs, which KA is not selling to, experienced a decline.
  • > The Asia Pacific region experienced the most negative development, a region that entails a much smaller part of KA's revenues
  • > The substantial decrease in "Other" is related to the sale of the powersport business to BRP, hence it is not included in the Q4 2022 revenues.
