REVENUES, MEUR ADJ. EBIT, MEUR Revenues in Powertrain & Chassis slightly increased by MEUR 0.8 (+0.7%) to MEUR 110.7 in the first quarter 2022 compared to the same quarter in 2021, including positive currency translation effects of MEUR 5.3. On a constant currency basis, revenues in Q1 2022 decreased by MEUR 4.5 compared to Q1 2021, which was mainly driven by decrease in the European passenger car market and the Chinese commercial vehicles end market (MEUR 5.2 and MEUR 3.8, respectively). This was partially offset by the revenues in passenger car end market in North America, which grew by MEUR 2.2, and revenues in the commercial vehicles end market in Europe, which increased by MEUR 2.8.
Adjusted EBIT was MEUR 4.4 in the first quarter 2022, a significant decline of MEUR 3.1 (-40.8%) compared to the adjusted EBIT in Q1 last year. This was mainly driven by the highly detrimental material shortages of electronic components, resin, and steel as well as by the strict lockdown restrictions in China. However, this negative impact was partially mitigated by the successful implementation of the Shift Gear measures.
P&C operations in Q1 were dramatically impacted by material cost premiums, increases in energy and freight costs as well as delays in sales price increases. Productivity improvements continued to be good and will reap large benefits when sales prices catch up to the costs of materials, labor and energy in subsequent quarters. Large effort was put into resourcing components from troubled suppliers. Slowing truck market in China adversely impacted performance in this key growth market. Shift Gear improvements contributed to mitigate effectively cost increases in all regions.
Within the quarter, Powertrain & Chassis was awarded two significant contracts: one to supply Gear Shift Systems to a French automobile manufacturer (MEUR 41.0 in expected lifetime revenue and MEUR 6.0 in expected annualized revenue) and one to supply Electronic Actuators to a Chinese OEM (MEUR 17.4 in expected lifetime revenue and MEUR 4.4 in expected annualized revenue).

Excluding the cable-related part of the Off-Highway business, which is included in discontinued operation, revenues in Specialty Products slightly increased by MEUR 0.7 (+0.7%) to MEUR 105.9 compared to the first quarter of 2021, including positive currency translation effects of MEUR 4.9. On the constant currency basis, revenues of the Off-Highway business declined by MEUR 6.8 compared to Q1 2021, which was partially offset by the increase of the Fluid Transfer Systems' revenues of MEUR 3.5 versus the first quarter of previous year. Revenues of the Couplings business remained stable.
Q1 2021 Q1 2022
decrease of MEUR 9.7 (-51.5%) 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 as well as by the strict lockdown restrictions in China.
Coupling's plant operations in Norway were impacted by several covid cases in the beginning of the quarter, generating backlog that were difficult to overcome due to supply chain challenges. Capacity expansion in facilities of FTS in Mexico and Poland are on track and will be in delivered on time and in line with the growth expectations. Material availability for certain products has remained challenging and is expected to continue during the year 2022.
During the first quarter 2022, total business wins amounted to MEUR 154.1 of lifetime revenues (MEUR 53.6 in annualized revenues).
Adjusted EBIT was MEUR 9.1 in the first quarter of 2022, a
Within the quarter, Couplings was awarded a contract with a major German automobile manufacturer that totals MEUR 14.0 in expected annualized revenue and MEUR 42.1 in expected lifetime revenue.

Q&A
Outlook
Our portfolio transformation aims to ensure that all our business units are among the top three in their markets with a diversified customer structure and a low-risk exposure
We will consider divestments or investments according to this strategy, as well as investing in organic growth and innovation
Sale of Interior Comfort Systems (ICS) business unit to Lear Corporation completed during the quarter
Sale of Light Duty Cable (LDC) business unit to Suprajit closed after the balance sheet date
Outlook
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.
Outlook
> Having now completed the two divestments in addition, we will now initiate our share buyback, to return funds to shareholders in an efficient way.
> The company will start to purchase up to 10% of the outstanding shares in the open market
