Q1 2022 highlights

Total Revenues CAD 6.5 million 17 % decrease from Q1 2021

Adjusted EBITDA CAD – 2.8 million CAD 3.4 m decrease from Q1 2021

Materials revenues CAD 4.6 million 5% growth from Q1 2021

Materials backlog CAD 10.8 million 54% growth from Q1 2021

Advanced materials

  • Strong demand with CAD 6.1m order intake in Q1'22 for materials, increasing backlog by 54% YoY, more capacity would have allowed for a higher revenue
  • Planned work in Q1 to increase 70% materials production capacity by year-end 2022, with favorable impact on revenue and profit per machine
  • Adjusted EBITDA reflecting lower systems revenues and front loading of resources in support of strategy

Strategic development

  • Projects with partners in Printed Electronics and Energy Storage ongoing, with important milestones coming up later in the year, customer development schedules could introduce some delays
  • LG Chem joint development agreement developing positively with on-going trials.
  • Aiming to complete OSE listing in 2022

Tekna in brief

Tekna is a world-leading provider of advanced materials

Tekna produces the world's highest quality micro and nano materials

Our two revenue generating segments

Sale of advanced materials

Tekna uses proprietary technology to produce world-leading materials. Due to its superior characteristics and rigorous qualifying processes, customers become dependent on Tekna, creating strong customer stickiness

Sale of R&D systems

In addition to own R&D, Tekna sells research systems to research institutions as well as OEMs. This helps financing our own research and improving our technology.

Q1 Financials

Revenue and EBITDA by quarter – five last quarter

• Three quarters of consecutive growth in revenues

  • Materials revenues stable YoY, expected to increase progressively throughout the year
  • Systems deliveries reduced, consequential to global travel restrictions, also affecting the adjusted EBITDA
  • EBITDA marked by increase in overhead in support of our strategy, developing printed-electronics, energy storage and upfront investments in staffing and R&D

Advanced Materials | Gaining markets share, building order backlog

  • Order backlog growing, challenging production to meet increasing demand
  • Tekna's advanced materials are gaining market share, with new orders above CAD 6m for two consecutive quarters
  • Tekna is outgrowing industry pace

Expanding capacity to keep up with additive manufacturing materials demand

Increasing capacity to meet strong demand

Immediate and ongoing Increase machine performance

No significant capex required and limited effect on overhead

Maximize working hours 24/7 Increase feed rate Increase yield Reduce unplanned downtime

Margin improvementsCapital efficient

Subsequent actions Add more machines

Increasing capacity to meet strong demand

  • From 2015 to 2021 our systematic approach to machine performance improvement has resulted in 140% higher output per machine
  • Q2 2022 marks the start of the implementation phase following an 18-month R&D cycle aimed at further increasing machine output for prime selling material
  • Progressive upgrade & performance improvement roll-out on production machines are planned in 2022, expected to result in 70% increase in production capacity from Q4 2021
  • Upgrades will include software and hardware enhancement on the machines and on auxiliary systems, and recruitment of additional operators

Planned total output increase by YE 2022

Progressive upgrade & performance improvement

Note: * The machines required production stop while being upgraded Increase in machine output does not correlate to a similar increase in company revenue

Summary and outlook

Paradigm shifting, robust and relevant strategy

A world in transition

Strategy well aligned

All our segments are relevant to megatrends

Customers continue transition towards new technology Manufacturing sites located near end-users Securing long term supply agreements Sustainable and green production processes

Short term priorities and longer-term ambitions

Short term priority Increase materials production capacity by improving machine performance and adequate factory staffing

Medium term

Adding machines to factories in France and Canada to secure position with key customers and continue to grow market share

Outlook

Strong Market demand and production capacity ramp-up will improve Materials sales onward, but raising trade tensions and global supply chain issues create some transitory uncertainty

Additive manufacturing Printed electronics & Energy storage

Development programs

Continued pursuit of opportunities in printed electronics and energy storage verticals through partnerships with tier-one original equipment manufacturers

Outlook

Market volatility and customer schedule are causing delays in qualification cycles

Tekna's focus and ambitions in developing for the longer term remain unchanged

Ambitions Mid-to-long term

EBIT - Earnings before interest and tax, corresponding to "Operating profit (loss)" in the consolidated income statement

Gross profit- Gross profit is net sales revenue minus cost of goods sold

Gross margin - Gross margin is gross profit divided by net sales revenue

Recurring revenues - Period divided by the prior consecutive 12-month Period
