Group revenues amounted to MEUR 267.4 in the third quarter of 2021, exceeding the revenues in the third quarter of 2020 by MEUR 12.2 (+4.8%), including positive currency translation effects of MEUR 3.1. This increase was mainly driven by Specialty Products, partially offset by declines in revenues of Interior and Powertrain & Chassis.
On a constant currency basis, revenues generated in the commercial vehicles market increased by MEUR 12.4 (+18.0%) compared to Q3 2020. The highest growth was reported in North America, where revenues amounted to MEUR 26.2 and grew by MEUR 10.2 (+63.8%), and in Europe, where revenues increased by MEUR 6.2 (+18.5%) to MEUR 39.3. The market in North America grew in Q3 2021 by 91.0% compared to Q3 2020, while the European market grew by 66.1%. Revenues in China declined by MEUR 1.9 (-20.8%) in Q3 2021 compared to Q3 2020, whilst the overall market performance in this region decreased by 16.9%.
The revenues in the passenger car market amounted to MEUR 157.9 which was lower than in Q3 2020 by MEUR 10.8 (-6.4%) on a constant currency basis. With a revenue increase of MEUR 5.6 (+8.7%) in Asia (including China), Kongsberg Automotive was able to match the market performance in this region. In North America and Europe, where revenues decreased by MEUR 13.4 (-22.5%) and MEUR 3.0 (-6.6%) respectively, compared to Q3 2020, Kongsberg Automotive was not able to keep up with the market developments YoY.
Adjusted EBIT for the Group was MEUR 5.7 in the third quarter 2021, which was MEUR 8.2 lower than in Q3 2020. The overall positive operational performance was notably offset by increased raw material costs (resin, brass, and steel), electronic components and associated freight costs resulting from the ongoing constraints in the supply chain throughout the automotive sector.
Operating profit in Q3 2021 amounted to MEUR 3.6, compared to the operating profit of MEUR 11.2 in Q3 2020.
Net financial items came to an expense of MEUR 5.0 in the third quarter of 2021, compared to an expense of MEUR 10.7 in the same period in 2020. This change was mainly driven by the positive shift from foreign currency losses in Q3 2020 to foreign currency gains in Q3 2021 (see Note 5).
There were no significant changes in the interest expenses compared to the third quarter of last year.
Loss before taxes amounted to MEUR 1.5 in the third quarter of 2021, compared to the profit before taxes of MEUR 0.6 in the same quarter of 2020. Net profit amounted to MEUR 0.4 in Q3 2021, compared to the net profit of MEUR 1.7 in Q3 2020. The tax income in Q3 2021 was driven by reduction of valuation allowance on Deferred Tax Assets.

NOTE 1 – DISCLOSURES
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.
This condensed consolidated interim financial information, for the three months ended September 30, 2021, 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, 2020, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS.
The accounting policies are consistent with those of the annual financial statements for the year-ended December 31, 2020, as described in those annual financial statements. Taxes on income in the interim periods are accrued using the estimated effective tax rate.
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.
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, resin, zinc, aluminum, steel, and electronic components.
As an indirect consequence of the Covid-19 crisis, the entire automotive industry, including Kongsberg Automotive, has been facing the challenges of the worldwide shortage of supply of semiconductor components and above-mentioned raw materials as well as the limited transportation capacities. These risks have already significantly affected the business in the first three quarters of the year and Kongsberg Automotive assumes that these will still negatively impact its operations as the year progresses. All risks are continuously and closely monitored by Kongsberg Automotive in order to mitigate the potential impact.
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.

On October 28, 2021, two separate Sale and Purchase Agreements were signed to sell the Interior Comfort System business and the Light Duty Cable business with the cable-related part of Off-Highway business.
Kongsberg Automotive is, therefore, committed to dispose of its Interior Segment in its entirety. The transactions represent together a separate major line of business with around MEUR 320.0 annual sales and adj. EBIT of around MEUR -5.0.
The proceeds from the disposal exceed the net carrying amount of the relevant assets and liabilities and, accordingly, no impairment is to be recognized on the subsequent classification of these operations as held for sale.
As the transactions are not expected to be completed before December 31, 2021, the Interior segment will be reported as discontinued operations and prior periods will be restated accordingly in the Annual Financial Statements.
The MEUR 20.0 RCF extension agreement, which was entered into in April 2020, was not prolonged and therefore expired on October 02, 2021.
This section describes the non-GAAP financial measures that are used in this report and in the quarterly presentation.
The following measures are neither defined nor specified in the applicable financial reporting framework of the IFRS GAAP. They may be considered as non-GAAP financial measures that may include or exclude amounts that are calculated and presented according to the IFRS GAAP.
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, which are defined as any incurred costs or sales reduction of an unusual or non-recurring nature in connection with the considered restructuring of the activities of the Group.
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.
| (MEUR) | Q3 2021 | Q3 2020 | YTD 2021 | YTD 2020 | FY 2020 |

| Adjusted EBIT1+2+3 | 5.7 | 13.9 | 31.0 | (11.8) | 10.7 |
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 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.

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.

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.

Capital Employed as at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2020, does not consider the assets' impairment of MEUR 82.7.
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.
