SECOND QUARTER 2022 AT GLANCE

  • Revenue from continuing operation amounted to MEUR 225.6 in Q2 2022, MEUR 10.2 (+4.7%) higher than last year's second quarter, including positive currency translation effects of MEUR 13.2. This was equally driven by both segments, Specialty Products and Powertrain & Chassis.
  • Adjusted EBIT amounted to MEUR 4.0, which was MEUR 8.9 lower than in Q2 2021. This significant decline in profitability was mainly driven by the abnormally high costs of raw materials, electronic components and freight caused by the semiconductor supply-chain bottlenecks and by the higher inflation rates in most of countries KA's Group companies operate. Price increases to customers are increasingly offsetting these effects.
  • Lifetime revenues business wins in the second quarter 2022 amounted to MEUR 167.9 (MEUR 54.4 in annualized revenue).
  • On April 6, 2022, Kongsberg Automotive has successfully completed the sale of its Light Duty Cable (LDC) business unit to Suprajit Engineering Limited for an enterprise value of MEUR 37.7. The Q2 2022 net profit from discontinued operation of MEUR 3.4 contains the initial net profit on this transaction of MEUR 0.4.
  • In Q2 2022 the Board of Directors of Kongsberg Automotive has agreed to sell part of the Off-Highway business to BRP. Thus, the relevant assets and liabilities are classified as held for sale as of June 30, 2022.

3 includes assets and liabilities held for sale as of June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021

  • The adjusted gearing ratio (NIBD/adj. EBITDA) on LTM basis for continuing operations improved to 2.0 compared to 2.7 in Q2 2021. This is due to the proceeds received from the divestures amounting to MEUR 204.0.
  • The equity ratio increased from 28.1% as of June 30, 2021, to 35.6% as of the end of the second quarter of 2022. This was caused by the ICS and LDC sale as well as the subsequent redemption of bond notes at MEUR 75.0 and repayment of RCF at MEUR 20.0.

REVENUES

Group revenues from continuing operations amounted to MEUR 225.6 in the second quarter of 2022, being higher than the revenues in the second quarter of 2021 by MEUR 10.2 (+4.7%), including positive currency translation effects of MEUR 13.2. The decrease at constant currencies is attributable to both, the passenger car, and commercial vehicles market.

Revenues generated in the passenger car market amounted to MEUR 51.8, respectively MEUR 47.7 at constant currencies, a decrease of MEUR 4.9 (-9.3%) compared to Q2 2021. The highest decline was reported in China, where revenues decreased by MEUR 4.7 (-20.2%) to MEUR 20.4, and in Europe, where revenues declined by MEUR 3.6 (-21.2%) to MEUR 13.1. The overall market in these regions shrank by 5.9% and 4.9%, respectively. Revenues in North America amounted to MEUR 17.6, MEUR 3.0 (+24.3%) higher compared to Q2 2021 at constant currency, whereas the market in North America grew by 11.7%.

The revenues in the commercial vehicles market amounted to MEUR 90.4, respectively MEUR 86.7 at constant currencies, which was lower by MEUR 0.8 (-0.9%) than in Q2 2021. In Europe the revenues were MEUR 55.6 (despite negative translation effects of MEUR 0.2), exceeding the revenues of Q2 2021 by MEUR 7.5 (+15.6%) at constant currencies. Kongsberg Automotive was able to significantly outperform the market in this region which decreased by 15.2%. Whilst revenues in Asia (including China) decreased by MEUR 4.4 (-34.0%) compared to Q2 2021 at constant currencies, Kongsberg Automotive was still above the market which shrank by 44.0% compared to Q2 2021.

The revenues generated in other markets amounted to MEUR 83.4 in Q2 2022, including positive translation effects of MEUR 5.5, compared to MEUR 75.3 in Q2 2021.

ADJUSTED EBIT / EBIT

Adjusted EBIT from continuing operations was MEUR 4.0 in the second quarter 2022, lower by MEUR 8.9 than in Q2 2021. The overall positive operational performance was generally stable but still notably offset by rapidly increasing raw material costs (resin, brass, and steel), electronic components and associated freight costs resulting directly from the significant disruptions in the supply chain throughout the automotive sector and indirectly from the consequences of the war in Ukraine in higher inflation rates worldwide.

Operating profit in Q2 2022 amounted to MEUR 2.0, compared to the operating profit of MEUR 13.0 in Q2 2021.

NET FINANCIAL ITEMS

Net financial items came to an expense of MEUR 5.6 in the second quarter of 2022, compared to an expense of MEUR 6.4 in the same period in 2021. This change was mainly driven by the higher foreign exchange losses in Q2 2022 than in Q2 2021, offset by the lower interest expenses due to the partial repayment of the bond notes in March 2022 (see Note 5).

PROFIT (LOSS) BEFORE TAXES / NET PROFIT (LOSS)

Loss before taxes amounted to MEUR 3.6 in the second quarter of 2022, compared to the profit before taxes of MEUR 6.6 in the same quarter of 2021. Net loss amounted to MEUR 2.8 in Q2 2022, compared to the net profit of MEUR 7.3 in Q2 2021. The effective tax rate was 25%.

CASH FLOW FROM (USED BY) OPERATING ACTIVITIES

Cash flow from operating activities amounted to MEUR 7.7 in Q2 2022, compared to MEUR 23.0 in Q2 2021. This included a negative change in net working capital of MEUR 9.7 in Q2 2022, compared to a positive change of MEUR 3.1 in Q2 2021.

CASH FLOW FROM (USED BY) INVESTING ACTIVITIES

Cash flow from investing activities was at MEUR 29.9 in the second quarter of 2022, compared to cash flow used by the investing activities of MEUR 9.4 in Q2 2021. The difference results from the net proceeds of MEUR 34.9 received from the sale of subsidiaries, relating to the LDC sale to Suprajit Engineering Limited.

CASH FLOW USED BY FINANCING ACTIVITIES

Cash flow used by financing activities was MEUR 8.8 in the second quarter of 2022, compared to MEUR 5.2 in the same quarter last year. The difference was mainly driven by the purchase of treasury shares of MEUR 4.2, offset by the lower repayment of lease liabilities and payments for interests on lease liabilities in comparison to Q2 2021.

The repayment of lease liabilities amounted to MEUR 2.1 in Q2 2022 versus MEUR 3.3 in Q2 2021. Total payment for interests on lease liabilities was at MEUR 0.9.

CHANGE IN CASH

The change in cash in the first six months of 2022 for the whole Group amounted to MEUR 85.8 compared to the balance as of December 31, 2021. The cash position was MEUR 144.1 at the end of the quarter.

LIQUIDITY RESERVE

The liquidity reserve was MEUR 218.7 (excluding the restricted cash of MEUR 0.5) at the end of the second quarter, compared to MEUR 140.9 as of December 31, 2021. The unutilized RCF as of June 30, 2022, amounted to MEUR 50.0. During the second quarter of 2022 the unutilized Securitization facility was reduced to MEUR 25.0.

ASSETS

Total assets were MEUR 833.4 at the end of the second quarter, of which MEUR 41.3 were related to the divestment of part of the OFH-business and thus classified as Assets held for sale. The decrease of the asset held for sale is due to the completion of the sale of ICS business to Lear on February 28, 2022, and the sale of LDC business to Suprajit Engineering Limited on April 6, 2022. Assets and liabilities held for sale as of June 30, 2022, related to the envisaged sale of part of the Off-Highway business to BRP.

EQUITY

Equity as of June 30, 2022, increased by MEUR 31.5 (+11.8%) to MEUR 297.0 in comparison with December 31, 2021.

During the second quarter of 2022, the net profit of MEUR 0.5 and other comprehensive income of MEUR 13.8 resulted in total comprehensive income of MEUR 14.3. The share-based compensation of MEUR 0.7 contributed to the change of the equity as of June 30, 2022. In addition, the Share Buy-back program initiated in May 2022 led to an increase of treasury shares in the amount of MEUR 4.2.

INTEREST BEARING LIABILITIES

Total interest-bearing liabilities amounted to MEUR 269.6 consisting mainly of the issued bond of MEUR 200.0 (MEUR 197.5 after netted with the capitalized fees of MEUR 2.5) and IFRS 16 lease interest-bearing liabilities of MEUR 72.4.

As of June 30, 2022, long-term interest-bearing debt amounted to MEUR 260.5.

NET INTEREST BEARING DEBT

At the end of the second quarter 2022, net interest-bearing debt amounted to MEUR 125.5, a decrease of MEUR 190.9 compared to year-end 2021, driven by the receipt of the proceeds from the ICS and LDC sale transactions of MEUR 165.9 and MEUR 38.1, respectively. In Q1 2022 these proceeds were subsequently used to partially repay the bond notes of MEUR 75.0 and to repay the drawn Revolving Credit Facility of MEUR 20.0.

FINANCIAL UPDATE

Revenues in Powertrain & Chassis increased by MEUR 4.6 (+4.2%) to MEUR 114.2 in the second quarter 2022 compared to the same quarter in 2021, including positive currency translation effects of MEUR 7.0. On a constant currency basis, revenues in Q2 2022 decreased by MEUR 2.3 compared to Q2 2021, which was mainly driven by decreases in the European and Chinese passenger car markets of MEUR 3.6 and MEUR 4.7, respectively, and the decline in the commercial vehicles end market in the United States of MEUR 4.5. This was partially offset by the increase of revenues in the passenger car end market in Americas and in the commercial vehicles end market in Europe, which grew by MEUR 3.0 and MEUR 4.9, respectively. Furthermore, in Q2 2022 the Headrest business in Sweden, which had previously been part of the Interior segment, became a part of the Powertrain & Chassis segment. It contributed the additional revenues of MEUR 3.9 in Q2 2022 to the total revenues of the segment.

Adjusted EBIT was MEUR 1.5 in the second quarter 2022, a significant decline of MEUR 4.9 (-76.6%) compared to the adjusted EBIT in Q2 last year. This was mainly driven by the highly detrimental material shortages of electronic components, resin, and steel as well as the continuing high costs of raw materials. However, this negative impact was partially mitigated by the successful implementation of the Shift Gear measures.

COMMERCIAL AND OPERATIONAL UPDATE

Business wins amounted to MEUR 114.2 of lifetime revenues (MEUR 28.6 in annualized revenues) in the second quarter of 2022.

Within the quarter, Powertrain & Chassis was awarded two significant contracts: one to supply head restrains to a Chinese automobile manufacturer (MEUR 42.5 in expected lifetime revenue and MEUR 6.1 in expected annualized revenue) and one to supply Gear Shift Systems to a German automobile manufacturer (MEUR 18.1 in expected lifetime revenue and MEUR 2.6 in expected annualized revenue).

FINANCIAL UPDATE

Excluding the divested part of the Off-Highway business, revenues in Specialty Products increased by MEUR 9.6 (+9.3%) to MEUR 113.3 compared to the second quarter of 2021, including positive currency translation effects of MEUR 6.2. On the constant currency basis, revenues of the Off-Highway business declined by MEUR 1.5 compared to Q2 2021, which was offset by the increase of the Fluid Transfer Systems' revenues of MEUR 4.3 versus the second quarter of previous year. Revenues of the Couplings business remained stable.

Adjusted EBIT was MEUR 10.6 in the second quarter of 2022, a decrease of MEUR 2.8 (-20.9%) compared to the same quarter of last year. Adjusted EBIT declined mainly due to the

disproportional increase in costs related to impacts of the electronic components supply chain crisis and higher raw material cost.

COMMERCIAL AND OPERATIONAL UPDATE

During the second quarter 2022, total business wins amounted to MEUR 53.7 of lifetime revenues (MEUR 25.8 in annualized revenues).

Within the quarter, Fluid Transfer Systems (FTS) has secured a contract with a Swedish automobile manufacturer that totals MEUR 2.6 in expected annualized revenue and MEUR 15.3 in expected lifetime revenue.

NOTE 1 – DISCLOSURES

GENERAL INFORMATION

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.

BASIS OF PREPARATION

This condensed consolidated interim financial information, for the six months ended June 30, 2022, 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 December 31, 2021, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accounting policies are consistent with those of the annual financial statements for the year-ended December 31, 2021, as described in those annual financial statements. Taxes on income in the interim periods are accrued using the estimated effective tax rate.

RISK AND UNCERTAINTIES

In particular due to the Covid-19 pandemic, 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.

Furthermore, due to the geopolitical risks, especially in relation to the war in Ukraine, 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.

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 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.

In 2021 and the first half of 2022, the Company's business operations were significantly impacted by the disruption of global supply chains and in particular the supply bottlenecks for electronic components in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic. 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.

SEASONALITY

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.

OPERATING PROFIT (LOSS) - EBIT/ADJUSTED EBIT (CONTINUING OPERATION)

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 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.

EBITDA/ADJUSTED EBITDA (CONTINUING OPERATION)

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 (CONTINUING OPERATION)

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 in Q2 2022, Q2 2021 and full year 2021.

ALTERNATIVE PERFORMANCE MEASURES (APM)

NIBD

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, this measurement shows the net overall financial position of the Group.

(MEUR) 30.06.22 30.06.21 31.12.21
Long-term interest-bearing liabilities 260.5 358.2 338.7

Net Interest Bearing Debt 125.5 297.2 316.4

* does not include Cash and cash equivalents classified as held for sale.

CAPITAL EMPLOYED

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 ROCE (LAST TWELVE MONTHS)

Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) is based on EBIT for the last twelve months divided by the average of capital employed at the beginning and end of the period.

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.

(MEUR) Q2 2022 Q2 2021 FY 2021
Capital employed beginning1 01.07.2021 624.6 01.07.2020 650.8 691.2

As restatement of the balance sheet for prior year is not required by IFRS 5, thus capital employed as of June 30, 2021 contains assets and liabilities of the whole Group. The capital employed as of June 30, 2022, does not contain the net assets classified as assets held for sale.
