"CASE themes continue to drive the Automotive Transformation – ELECTRIC currently has greatest impact"
*) Smart Mobility describes a transportation ecosystem where stakeholders use data and connectivity to move people and goods sustainably and efficiently.
Shared mobility remains as a sub-segment and an important value pool in this ecosystem focusing on people transport with passenger vehicles.

Total vehicle parc and technology penetration of new car sales - expected new car sales in 2030 in million: China 31, USA: 17, Europe: 17

• Smart mobility modes beyond vehicle ownership are expected to grow in the long term. • With rising number of car-subscription offerings, share-active (e.g. rental subscription) is expected to grow strongest in Europe (10% of total km by 2025), while shared-passive (e.g. ride hailing) is expected to grow |

significantly more in China (10%) vs. USA or Europe 1-3%). Vehicle connectivity is advancing, with 50% of total parc connected in • Europe by 2025, US by 2023, China by 2029 • While OEMs are reaching a critical size with their connected service customer base, they will struggle with reliable service at scale (over-the air update functionality) |

2025 19% 6% 27% |
2030 33% 19% 50% |
2035 55% 44% 78% |
• E-mobility is at an inflection point in Europe, driven by strong government drive (incentives and regulation), with 27% BEV shares of new car sales in 2025 – ahead of China (19%), US (6%). • Slow charging infrastructure build-up will soon become the biggest growth hurdle |
| Automated (L3/L4/L5, % new LV sales) |
2021 0% 3% 0% |
2025 1% 6% 4% |
2030 11% 12% 20% |
2035 34% 16% 29% |
Automated driving will enter the market in passenger transport with a • range of specific use cases that are difficult to scale. L4 share of new cars at 14-15% by 2035 in Europe & China. • Industrial and logistics applications likely to grow faster. • |

By the end of the decade BEVs will be the most effective powertrain solution for almost all Light Vehicle (LV) segments

Despite CORONA Year 2 Kongsberg Automotive limited the damages and delivered in 2021 on their revised Guidance by Performance Improvement
Beside this, Kongsberg Automotive has started to execute the Product Transformation process by successfully Divesting Interior in Q1/22
By this, Kongsberg Automotive consequently is going to increase their Liquidity in 2022 and can start to Deleverage their debt, Buying back shares while keeping sufficient Liquidity for further Growth and Innovations
This has laid successfully the runway in 2021 towards the NEW KONGSBERG AUTOMOTIVE "Mobility solutions for the future" determining the companies focus clearly on ONH and OFH within our Product Portfolio SPP & P&C
This strategy aims to make Kongsberg Automotive more independent from low-margins passenger car business and to a large degree – from critical semiconductor dominated products
The clear Focus on more niche business group, will reduce volatility and provide strong cash generation capabilities

WITH A SUSTAINABLE CASH FLOW, WHICH SUPPORTS GROWTH AND AN ATTRACTIVE SHAREHOLDER RETURN
In 2022 we will successfully close the divestments and make Kongsberg Automotive further fit for the future.
This includes post-divestment restructuring, streamlining the organization with a motivating S2N DNA, strengthening our processes (best-in-class and meaningful digitalization), and going for ROI-oriented innovation and highly efficient business development
F O R W A R D
2022-2025 we will foster growth in these niche segments by unlocking untapped growth opportunities within "Regions - New Segments - Customer bases - Product extensions" supported by innovation and a clear focus on electrification, all in a structured and controlled way
Beside this, we will invest into necessary sustainability, corporate governance and carbon reduction to support global environmental targets
We are looking forward to generating shareholder value every day and telling our shareholders about it!
