AT A GLANCE NATURE AND IMPACT OF DISRUPTIONS VARIED ACROSS GEOGRAPHIES AND PRODUCTS

R E V E N U E G R O W T H V S M A R K E T G R O W T H * O U T P E R F O R M A N C E I N K E Y M A R K E T S

  • > The automotive sector has seen divergent growth between vehicle and geographic segments
  • > Some geographic segments saw significant volume reductions, driven by Covid-restrictions in China, supply chain interruptions from the war in the Ukraine, and continued problems with semiconductor supplies.
  • > KA outperformed the overall market in areas such as Asian commercial vehicles, European commercial vehicles and North American passenger vehicles, but underperformed in others such as Asian and European passenger vehicles and North American commercial vehicles.

* Change in revenue at constant currencies, and changes to vehicle production levels for selected regions and markets, from Q2 2022 to Q2 2021. The split across vehicle types does not correspond to our business unit segments – see p. 7 and 8 in the quarterly report for details.

AT A GLANCE SUPPLY CHAIN SITUATION PARTLY OFFSET BY SHIFT GEAR COMMERCIAL AND OPERATIONAL EXCELLENCE

  • > Raw material prices in all areas, as well labor costs, have increased to historical highs, while shipping costs staying elevated.
  • > The situation has been exacerbated by extraordinary Covidrestrictions in key Chinese cities with serious lockdowns. This created problems both in Asia and the rest of the world, as global supply chains were disrupted .
  • > In Europe and North America, supply chain problems for semiconductors and other parts disrupted operations for many of our customers, as well as KA. In Q2, KA Americas results in particular has been strongly impacted by an extensive, extraordinary Semiconductor shortage for an individual OFH customer, which caused unforeseen Revenue and EBIT impacts
  • > However, we have noted first signs of improvements late in the quarter, and a rebound may be expected in H2.

  • > All these external effects have caused production inefficiencies driven by supply-chain constraints and volatile customer demand schedules across the mobility industry, as seen in temporary higher costs and inventory levels.
  • > KA's performance improvement program Shift Gear, with 300 employees directly or indirectly involved, has countered this to a certain extent - contributing MEUR 19.5 in H1 through operational improvements, purchasing excellence , commercial price increases and stringent cash management.
  • > We expect further improvements from price increases to customers, continuous improvement and cost reductions in H2 2022.

AT A GLANCE DIVESTMENTS AND DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

  • > On April 6, 2022, Kongsberg Automotive successfully completed the sale of its Light Duty Cable (LDC) business unit to Suprajit Engineering Limited for an enterprise value of MEUR 37.7.
  • > Kongsberg Automotive received the initial proceeds of MEUR 38.1 from this sale transaction.
  • > The divestments made so far have improved our financial headroom, reducing net interest-bearing debt to EUR 125.5m and increasing our liquidity reserve to EUR 218.7m.

I M P A C T O F D I V E S T M E N T

AT A GLANCE DIVESTMENTS AND DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

  • > The Shawinigan plant of KA's Off-highway division produces sensors, actuators, power steering and other parts for powersports applications, largely dedicated to a single client, BRP Inc. (BRP)
  • > On August 8, 2022, the two companies entered into a definitive agreement to sell part of this plant to BRP for a total enterprise value of CAD 136 million (EUR 104 million)
  • > The transaction allows BRP to vertically integrate this production, while KA will focus the freed-up resources to focus on scaling up within Specialty products their OFF-HIGHWAY markets when it comes to Agriculture, Construction, Material Handling and further new markets

GLOBAL MARKET SITUATION STILL PRECARIOUS DUE TO MACROECONOMIC AND GEOPOLITICAL DISRUPTIONS

Raw material prices have peaked in Q2, with the first signs of stabilization seen late in the quarter, with some metals such as nickel still elevated due to Ukraine war

Shanghai Lockdown due to zero-COVID policy continued to disrupt supply chains, and reduced Chinese production by 44% in the quarter

Semiconductor shortage still impacting production at many OEMs, with up to 2 million fewer vehicles built due to production cancellations

Energy prices continue to drive inflation, to +8.6% and +8.1% in US and Europe, increasing the risk that central banks attempts to control prices may trigger recessions in major economies

Consumer confidence remains at multi-year lows in OECD global consumer confidence index due to intensified inflation pressure (OECD global consumer confidence index fell to 96.5 in June vs. 98.4 in February)

NEW BUSINESS WINS, MEUR

P&C was awarded two significant contracts: to supply head restrains to a Chinese manufacturer (MEUR 42.5 expected lifetime revenue, MEUR 6.1 expected annual revenue) and to supply gear shift systems to a German manufacturer (MEUR 18.1 expected lifetime revenue, MEUR 2.6 expected annual revenue).

OPERATIONS

The return of Covid restrictions in China in addition to the war in Ukraine adversely impacted Q2 results. The China truck market is not expected to rebound until Q4 2022. A number of price increases have been successfully negotiated throughout the quarter and will have positive impacts starting Q3. Cost increases in raw materials, energy and freight continue to have negative impacts on earnings. Internal continuous improvements (CI) driven by our Shift Gear program are on a record pace and will reap large benefits when customer prices catch up in the subsequent quarters.

NEW BUSINESS WINS, MEUR

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

Q1 2021 included an LTA extension of 260m EUR on certain products with a single off-highway customer.

OPERATIONS

Couplings' operations in Norway ran well but suffered from a backlog due to high levels of covid-related absences as well as supply chain challenges. Couplings' capacity expansion in France, Norway and US is underway according to plan. Fluid Transfer Systems (FTS) had strong demand in the 1st half of 2022. The supply challenges and higher inflation resulted in temporary contraction of margins and some inventory challenges. Despite headwinds, FTS is looking at expanding in Mexico to accommodate awarded contracts as well as aligning our customer base in Europe to improve delivery and profitability.

OUTLOOK 2022 WE WILL CONTINUE TO EXECUTE ON OUR SHIFT GEAR PROGRAM

GLOBAL SITUATION

> The industry will certainly continue to be impacted by higher raw material costs and non-material inflation, as well as production inefficiencies driven by supplychain constraints and volatile customer demand schedules across the mobility industry. Nevertheless, we see first encouraging signs of stabilization and slight improvements in particular when it comes to Raw Material price trends or revitalization in China.

KA SITUATION

> Considering the Market Volume as well as the Order book remaining strong, combined with stronger impacts of SHIFT GEAR in H2, we expect the second half of 2022 to be significantly better for the automotive sector as well as for Kongsberg Automotive

CONFIRM GUIDANCE

  • > Following the successful divestment of the SHAWINIGAN PLANT to BRP, we update our guidance for the full year 2022:
    • > Revenue adjusted down to between MEUR 870 and 905 (from a range of MEUR 900 – 935)
    • > Adjusted EBIT guidance remains unchanged between MEUR 38 and 44
  • > We have based these targets on the latest automotive industry production forecasts combined with internal modelling.
  • > We will continue to monitor the development of the situation closely

NOTE REGARDING GUIDANCE: A prolonged or worsening geopolitical situation could result in further lasting consequences for production, supply chains and demand which are not currently reflected in our forecasts. In addition, the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and the related supply situation could give rise to further negative effects. Depending on the severity of these disruptions,this may result in lower sales and earnings than currently expected for KA Group.
