QUARTERLY REPORT 2nd QUARTER 1 ST HALF

2021

1. kvartal / 1. halvår 2021 KONGSBERG 1

GEIR HÅØY President & CEO

"KONGSBERG continue to develop well, with a 13 per cent increase in operating revenues and a 34 per cent improvement in EBITDA compared with the corresponding quarter last year. Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace (KDA) has shown good growth and solid profitability. Kongsberg Maritime (KM) has a book-tobill ratio of more than one, increasing turnover and improving its margin by 4 percentage points compared with Q2 last year. At Kongsberg Digital (KDI), the main focus is to expand on the customer portfolio and to develop the digital ecosystem for Vessel Insight and Kognitwin. The business area has shown positive development, both in terms of the roll-out of its digital solutions and the creation of new customer relationships.

Going forward, we expect continued growth for KDA. While a number of KM's markets remain challenging, the progress we have seen, particularly in the last six months, makes us more optimistic for the future. Through the expansion of our product portfolio and the efficiency measures we have implemented in recent years we have never been better positioned for an upswing in the market. With KDI, we have established a number of leading positions in digitalisation, and the number of users of our systems is constantly increasing.

Through our expertise in technology, we will contribute to solve the environmental challenges that our industries and the world are facing. We also see significant business opportunities connected to the green shift, including in offshore wind, where KM has signed a number of important contracts.

Just two weeks into Q3, we have already signed significant orders. KDA has signed a significant agreement for the delivery of combat systems for submarines and NSMs. KM has signed a contract for the delivery of an extensive technology package for two offshore wind installation vessels and KDI has signed an important agreement with ExxonMobil.

Overall, the group has a solid foundation with technology and market positons in both established and new future markets. This makes us confident that KONGSBERG will continue a positive trajectory."

OPERATING REVENUE AND ORDER INTAKE

Performance, market and orders

Operating revenues in Q2 were MNOK 6,762 against MNOK 5,983 in the same quarter the previous year, representing an increase of 13 per cent. Both Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace (KDA) and Kongsberg Maritime (KM) increased their operating revenues while Kongsberg Digital (KDI) had operating revenues at the same level as Q2 2020. Operating revenues for the year so far have been MNOK 13,127 (MNOK 12,661).

EBITDA was MNOK 993 in Q2, an EBITDA margin of 14.7 per cent compared to MNOK 740 (12.4 per cent) in the same quarter the previous year. EBITDA in the first half of 2021 was MNOK 1,876, an increase of MNOK 493 compared with the first half of 2020.

During Q2, order intake amounted to MNOK 5,544, compared to MNOK 6,067 in the same quarter last year. This gives a book-to-bill ratio for the quarter of 0.82. KM had a book-to-bill ratio of 1.03, KDA had a book-to-bill ratio of 0.46 and KDI had a book-to-bill ratio of 0.98 during the quarter. Variations in order intake are normal and must be seen in the context of when large contracts are signed, particularly at KDA. As a result the order intake can vary significantly between individual quarters. The Group's order intake was MNOK 13,187 (MNOK 12,879) in the first half of the year, equivalent to a book-to-bill ratio of 1.00.

The order backlog at the end of Q2 was MNOK 35,781, a reduction of MNOK 1,086 during the quarter.

Cash flow

KONGSBERG recorded a net reduction in cash and cash equivalents of MNOK 1,987 in Q2 2021. Net cash flow from operating activities amounted to MNOK 348. Out of this, EBITDA amounted to MNOK 993, while the change in net current assets and other operating items amounted to MNOK -645. This is mainly related to normal variations in working capital at KDA and the payment of holiday pay. Group cash flow from investment activities amounted to MNOK -51. This is a combination of investments in property, plant and equipment, as well as capitalised research and development, offset by dividends received from KSAT and Patria of MNOK 147. Cash flow from financing activities was MNOK -2,300. This includes payment of dividends to shareholders of MNOK 1,440, the repurchase of shares related to the repurchase programme and redemption of the remaining part of KOG08.

In the first half of 2021, net cash and cash equivalents decreased by MNOK 1,630. The largest negative cash flows are related to the payment of dividends, an increase in working capital at KDA and the settlement of bond loan KOG08. The largest positive cash flow elements were cash flow from operations and the issue of a new bond.

Balance sheet

At the end of the quarter, the group had net interest-bearing debt totalling MNOK 2,955. The long-term interest-bearing debt consisted of four bond loans totalling MNOK 2,450 and other long-term interest-bearing debt of MNOK 3. The KOG12 bond is classified as short-term interest-bearing debt. At the end of the quarter, short-term interest-bearing debt was MNOK 502, see Note 8. The group had MNOK 5,790 in cash and cash equivalents at the end of Q2, against MNOK 7,778 at the end of Q1 and MNOK 7,420 at the end of Q4 2020.

At the KONGSBERG Annual General Meeting on 6 May 2021, it was resolved that the company's share capital should be reduced by NOK 1,445,773.75 through the cancellation and redemption of a total of 1,156,619 shares. This capital reduction has been implemented in accordance with the resolution of the Annual General Meeting. After this, the share capital of KONGSBERG is NOK 223,541,807.50 divided into 178,833,446 shares, each with a nominal value of NOK 1.25. The Annual General Meeting also authorised the board to acquire shares for cancellation up to a total value of MNOK 400. This authorisation is valid until the next Annual General Meeting.

NET INTEREST-BEARING DEBT

At the end of Q2, net interest-bearing debt was MNOK -2,835, compared to MNOK - 4,310 at the end of Q1 and MNOK -3,949 at the end of 2020. The change in the quarter was mainly due to reduced cash holdings through the payment of

dividends. In addition, the group had a syndicated and committed credit facility of MNOK 2,300 and an overdraft credit facility of MNOK 500. These were unused at the end of Q2 2021.

The overall balance sheet reduced by MNOK 1,127 during the quarter and by MNOK 2,263 since the end of 2020.

On 7 April 2021, the credit rating agency Nordic Credit Rating awarded Kongsberg Gruppen ASA a long-term issuer rating of Awith "stable prospects". The standalone credit assessment was set to BBB+.

Currency

KONGSBERG's financial policy stipulates that contracts over a certain amount must be hedged upon establishment, and these are largely hedged using currency forward exchange contracts (fair value hedges). The net fair value of this type of hedge was MNOK 378 as of Q2 2021. In special cases, forward contracts are used as cash flow hedges, for example in the case of large tenders where the probability of winning the contract is considered high. The company's portfolio of cash flow hedges had a net fair value of MNOK -78 at the end of the quarter, which is recognised in equity. The fair value (market value) here represents unrealised profits/losses in relation to agreed rates. In addition, other financial instruments are used, such as interest rate and currency swaps and currency options, where fair value is also recognised against equity. See Note 8 for a numerical representation and further information.

Changes to the maturity structure in underlying contracts may result in cash effects when rolling over related forward contracts. The size of this effect will be determined by the position of the Norwegian krone relative to the initial agreed exchange rate.

KONGSBERG's finance policy means that accounting income recognition will largely be based on exchange rates secured at historical levels. This limits short-term effects on profits in the event of a sharp rise or fall in the value of the company's functional currency (NOK).

Product development

KONGSBERG is continually investing in product development, both through own- and customer-funded programmes. Total own- funded product development and maintenance amounted to MNOK 434 in the quarter and MNOK 835 for the first six months of the year, of which MNOK 58 and MNOK 90 are capitalised, respectively. Capitalised development for the quarter is mainly related to projects in KDI and KDA. See the table in Note 9.

The largest capitalised projects are related to the development of a digital platform (Kognifai), Joint Strike Missile (JSM) and other missile technology, weapon stations (MCT and RWS), communications solutions and remote towers for airports.

Customer-funded development comes in addition, either as part of projects or as specific development assignments. Over time, the total costs of product development and maintenance account for about ten per cent of operating revenues.

Human resources

The company had 10,896 employees at the end of the quarter. This is an increase of 126 during the quarter and 207 from the end of last year. The increase in the first half of the year comes from both KDA and KDI, both of which are currently increasing capacity. At KDA, total capacity increased to meet significant growth in the business area. KDI increased its capacity in development, sales and delivery to meet increased demand.

Number of employees by business area

Performance

Operating revenues amounted to MNOK 4,092 in Q2, compared to MNOK 3,762 during the same quarter last year, an increase of 9 per cent. This increase was driven by positive after-market trends as well as the Deck Machinery and Propulsion & Engines divisions. Operating revenues for the first half of the year totalled MNOK 7,898 (MNOK 8,305).

EBITDA was MNOK 452 in Q2, an EBITDA margin of 11.1 per cent, compared to MNOK 267 (7.1 per cent) in the same quarter the previous year. Accumulated EBITDA at the end of the first half of the year was MNOK 879, an increase of MNOK 222 compared to the same period last year. The increase in margin is a result of the successful integration programme implemented in 2019 and 2020 related to the acquisition of Commercial Marine (CM), continuous efficiency improvements and a good project mix. We saw a good increase in profitability, particularly in the divisions primarily supplying the vessel market. Compared to Q2 2020, there has also been a clear improvement in the after-market. This market generally sees relatively short times between orders and deliveries. This meant that the market was quickly hit by a reduction in demand caused by the pandemic in 2020. Over the last few quarters, we have seen a gradual increase in demand, and both sales and results in Q2 confirm this trend.

Market and orders

Order intake in Q2 was MNOK 4,220, equivalent to a book-to-bill ratio of 1.03, compared to MNOK 3,850 in Q2 2020. The aftermarket is an important driver for the order intake, turnover and profitability of the business area. Here, KM has seen a positive trend in terms of volume in recent quarters.

KM experience increased interest in energy-efficient and environmentally friendly solutions from both customers and partners. In Q2, a contract was signed with Hurtigruten to upgrade three Hurtigruten vessels with hybrid solutions. With this upgrade, Hurtigruten aim to reduce CO2 emissions by a minimum of 25 per cent.

Efficient operations, in terms of time, safety and energy efficiency, have always been an important driver for the further development of the KM product portfolio. This lead to opportunities in markets beyond than the traditional offshore and shipping markets. Offshore wind is a growth market, and KM has secured a number of significant contracts within this market. In Q2, the business area signed a contract worth MNOK 250 with the Chinese shipyard China Merchant Heavy Industries for the delivery of a comprehensive technology package for two new construction and service vessels to be built for the Norwegian company Awind. Further, so far in 2021 there have

been contracts signed for deliveries of three new wind turbine installation vessels. The total value of these contracts, which were signed in March and July 2021, is MNOK 900.

An important driver of growth at KM is sales synergies between KM and the acquired business CM. A large part of the rationale behind the acquisition of CM in 2019 was the complementary product and market portfolio between the two companies. In the first half of the year, cross-sales of MNOK 750 were achieved, MNOK 550 of which were in Q2. Around MNOK 700 in cross-sales were achieved in total during 2020. This only includes additional sales as a result of the integration of CM and KM. Around half of the additional sales are linked to offshore wind projects. The remainder is divided between offshore, traditional merchant marine, LNG and fishing.

At the end of Q2 2021, KM had an order backlog of MNOK 11,731. There were cancellations of contracts totalling MNOK 28 in the quarter. This figure can be considered low.

KM and COVID-19

At the outbreak of the ongoing pandemic in the winter/spring of 2020, a number of measures were quickly implemented to limit infection, maintain as normal a level of operations as possible and ensure that cost levels were adapted to the level of activity. The results achieved by KM during the pandemic would not have been possible without the measures that were and, in some cases, still are being implemented. The degree of measures and restrictions has varied throughout the pandemic, but there is still extensive use of digital solutions for customer support as well as significant infection-control measures in place, including the use of home office. KM has employees in 34 countries and operations practically all over the world, which means that the measures vary considerably according to the current restrictions in individual territories. During the pandemic, our worldwide presence has been important for delivery of both projects and service assignments, as travel and other restrictions have proved to be a significant challenge.

There is still some uncertainty about the impact on order intake, operating income and results arising from the pandemic, but a number of regions around the world have now started the transition to a more normal day-to-day life.

Performance

Operating revenues amounted to MNOK 2,456 in Q2, compared to MNOK 2,008 during the same quarter last year, an increase of 22 per cent. The increase in operating revenues is particularly driven by an increase in deliveries of weapon stations to the US CROWS programme as well as major international air defence projects. In the first half of the year, operating revenues were MNOK 4,806, up from MNOK 3,950 in the first half of 2020.

EBITDA was MNOK 513 in Q2, an EBITDA margin of 20.9 per cent, compared to MNOK 437 (21.8 per cent) in the same quarter the previous year. This solid margin is a result of good project execution, a favourable project mix and high efficiency throughout the organisation. In the first half of 2021, EBITDA was MNOK 982 (MNOK 668), equivalent to an EBITDA margin of 20.4 per cent (16.9 per cent)

The share of net income from associated companies totalled MNOK 59 (NOK 37) in the quarter. See also Note 6.

Market and orders

Order intake reached MNOK 1,120 in Q2, compared to MNOK 1,788 for the same quarter last year. Total order intake for the first half of the year was MNOK 4,466 (MNOK 3,556). The defence market is characterised by relatively few, but large, contracts. Deliveries are normally made over a number of years. Significant fluctuations in order intake between quarters and years are, therefore, considered normal.

The order intake in the quarter is evenly distributed between the business area's divisions and is not a result of large individual orders. During the quarter, an important framework agreement was signed with the US military, an extension of the existing CROWS framework agreement to the tune of MUSD 498. KONGSBERG has been a supplier of CROWS remote weapon stations to the US military continuously since 2007. Over the course of these 14 years, over 13,000 systems have been delivered to the US military. In addition, KONGSBERG has sold weapon stations to 25 other countries and a total of more than 20,000 systems have been sold worldwide. The extended framework agreement is dependent on the customer's future needs and allocations, but secures that KONGSBERG will continue to develop and deliver for the US military in the future.

At the end of Q2 2021, KDA had an order backlog of MNOK 23,145.

KDA and COVID-19

The defence business has not experienced major consequences as a result of COVID-19. Progress of projects has to little degree been affected by the situation. However, some contract negotiations have proved more time-consuming due to travel restrictions. KDA is dependent on the supply capacity of several hundred subcontractors, both in Norway and elsewhere. Additional resources were introduced at an early stage of the pandemic, to ensure the flow of goods, shipments and, where necessary, alternative subcontractors to avoid production delays.

The COVID-19 situation may still lead to delays in order intake in the future. As a result, this may lead to programmes that KDA is prepared for to be scaled down or cancelled. However, there are no such signs yet.

Operating revenues and performance

Operating revenues were MNOK 204 in Q2, compared to MNOK 209 in the same quarter in 2020. Recurring revenues (RR) are an important focus for KDI. In Q2, RR stood at MNOK 83, corresponding to 41 per cent of operating revenues, up from MNOK 77 (40 per cent) in Q1. Accumulated over the first half of the year, KDI had operating revenues of MNOK 396 with an RR share of 40 per cent.

Demand for digital twins and the "ship to cloud" solution Vessel Insight, which collects and aggregates data in a cost-effective and secure way, is growing.

During Q2, KDI delivered several new Kognitwin (dynamic digital twin) systems. After the end of the quarter, KDI signed an agreement on 1 July with ExxonMobil under which the company will evaluate and test Kognitwin on one of its installations.

The roll-out of Vessel Insight continues, and several new agreements were entered into with both vessel owners and application partners during the quarter. For instance, an agreement has been entered into with the Norwegian Coastal Administration for the installation of Vessel Insight. On the application side, agreements have been entered into with a view to expanding functionality using the MarineInsight and Bunkerplanner applications. This will increase the value of the system for users.

The demand for traditional maritime simulators has been negatively affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. This has led to a reduction in operating revenues from the sector, which amounts to about 40 per cent of KDI operating revenues.

KONGSBERG has high ambitions for growth for KDI and significant investments are being made in the scaling and roll-out of new solutions and applications. This will affect EBITDA in the business area.

KDI in the future

Since KONGSBERG established KDI in 2016, the business area has established itself as a leading supplier of digitalisation solutions to the energy sector and maritime industry, including the products Kognitwin® Energy and Vessel Insight. These are Software as a Service (SaaS) solutions. In 2020 and 2021, there was a focus on market positioning, and KDI experience great interest in its products and solutions. In response, the business area has recently increased capacity related to development, sales and delivery.

Operating revenues

Recurring Revenues*

*Recurring revenues (RR) consist of revenues from Software as a Service revenues, Software Leases and Software Maintenance & User Support.

In 2020 KDI signed a global framework agreement with Shell for the digitisation of current and future energy units. Kognitwin® Energy has already been delivered and is operational at both upstream and downstream facilities. Work on the delivery of multiple digital twins is being done in parallel. Going forward, the number of installed twins will increase significantly.

The digitalisation of the vessels market is an important driver for Vessel Insight. A prerequisite for digitalisation is to connect the vessel to the cloud and make contextualised data available. Vessel Insight makes this possible quickly and efficiently and provides significant benefits, from cost, efficiency, environmental and operational perspectives. There is an increasing degree of maturity in the market and in the second quarter Höegh Autoliners announced that they would install Vessel Insight on new vessels after testing the system on two of their vessels over a period of time. KDI's ambition is to increase its number of Vessel Insight customers significantly, starting this year.

The phase that KDI now finds itself in means that it is natural to assess both future partner models and other models in order to fully realise the potential KONGSBERG sees in the sector, including a stock exchange listing in the longer term.

KONGSBERG has a solid balance sheet and an order backlog of BNOK 35.8 at the end of the first half of 2021. Out of the order backlog, BNOK 11 is expected to be delivered in the second half of 2021. Order intake from the after-market is to little degree included in the order backlog. The order backlog of associated companies, in addition to framework agreements, are in addition to the reported order backlog.

During Q2, several countries started post-pandemic reopening, but restrictions and uncertainty will continue to affect the world and the markets in which the group operates. Throughout the pandemic, KDA has maintained operations at an almost normal level, and this is expected to continue in the future. For KM and KDI, several markets have been challenging, but there are signs of improvement and the group has a more optimistic view of market developments in the future. KONGSBERG has established new working methods and solutions as a consequence of the pandemic. The experience gained through this, together with continuous efficiency improvements and cost discipline, is a good basis for the group to achieve its stated objectives.

Going forward, KDA and KDI will continue to increase capacity, both to deliver the existing order backlog and to build a base for further growth. KDA has a record order backlog and is also well positioned in a number of significant international defence programmes. The maritime market has been characterised by a generally low level of vessel contracting for a number of years. In recent quarters, the contracting of new vessels has picked up in a number of segments. The company believes that this trend will continue. KONGSBERG has a technology portfolio contributing to a significant reduction in the climate footprint. The order intake so far this year shows that customers have an increased willingness to invest in more sustainable vessel and energy solutions.

Service and maintenance are a significant part of the business activities of KONGSBERG, and important to the company's customers. KM has equipment installed on over 30,000 vessels and, in recent years, KDA has built up a significant MRO (Maintenance, Repair & Overhaul) business. The after-market has shown positive development in recent quarters, and this trend is expected to continue.

The group expects growth within KDA to contribute to growth for the group overall in 2021. For KDI, the proportion of "recurring revenue" is expected to continue increasing, while KM expects activity approximately on a par with 2020 levels.

Note 1 | General information and principles

General information

The consolidated financial statement for Q2 (interim financial statement) covers Kongsberg Gruppen ASA, its subsidiaries and shares in joint arrangements and associated companies that are included according to the equity method.

Principles

Interim financial statements are compiled in accordance with IAS 34 (interim reporting), stock exchange regulations and the additional requirements of the Securities Trading Act. Interim financial statements do not include the same amount of information as the full financial statements and should be read in the context of the consolidated financial statements for 2020. The consolidated financial statements for 2020 were prepared in compliance with the Norwegian Accounting Act and international standards for financial reporting (IFRS) established by the EU.

The consolidated financial statements for 2020 are available on www.kongsberg.com.

The interim financial statement has not been audited.

Note 2 | New standards as from 1.1.2021

The accounting principles used in the quarterly report are the same principles as those applied to the consolidated financial statements for 2020 , with the exception of changes to IFRS 9, IFRS 7 and IFRS 16 regarding amendments to new interest-rate benchmarks, which was implemented 1 January 2021 . The implementation of the changes has not had any significant effect on the consolidated financial statements.

Note 3 | Estimates

Preparing the interim financial statement involves assessments, estimates and assumptions that affect the use of accounting principles and posted amounts for assets and obligations, revenues and expenses. Actual results may deviate from these estimates. The key considerations in connection with the application of the Group's accounting principles and the major sources of uncertainty remain the same as when the 2020 consolidated financial statements was compiled.

Note 13 | Definitions

Definitions

KONGSBERG uses terms in the consolidated financial statements that are not anchored in the IFRS accounting standards. Our definitions and explanations of these terms follow below.

Kongsberg considers EBITDA and EBIT to be normal accounting terms, but they are not included in the IFRS accounting standards. EBITDA is the abbreviation of "Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortisation". KONGSBERG uses EBITDA in the income statement as a summation line for other accounting lines. These accounting lines are defined in our accounting principles, which are part of the 2020 financial statements. The same applies to EBIT.

Restructuring costs consist of salaries and social security tax upon termination of employment (such as severance and gratuity) in connection with workforce reductions. In addition to this are rent and other related costs and any one-off payments in the event of the premature termination of tenancy agreements for premises that are not in use.

Integration costs are those associated with integrating Commercial Marine into Kongsberg Maritime.

Net interest-bearing debt is the net amount of the accounting lines "Cash and cash equivalents" and "Short- and long-term interest-bearing liabilities, excluding leasing commitments".

Return on Average Capital Employed (ROACE) is defined as the 12-month rolling EBIT including share of net income from joint arrangements and associated companies, excluding IFRS 16 divided by the 12-month mean of recognised equity and net interest-bearing debt.

Working capital is defined as current assets (except cash and cash equivalents) minus non-interest-bearing liabilities (except taxes payable). Financial instruments classified as cash flow hedges are not included in working capital.

Working capital is calculated as follow:

	30.6.	31.3.	31.12.
MNOK	2021	2021	2020
Current assets	22 544	23 454	24 422
Current liabilities and provisions	(17 882)	(17 915)	(19 696)
Adjusted for:
Cash and cash equivalents	(5 790)	(7 778)	(7 420)
Short-term interest-bearing loans	502	997	1 500
Short-term leasing liabilities	353	354	339
Net tax payable	75	92	66
Financial instruments classified as cash flow hedges	170	271	332
Working capital	(28)	(524)	(458)

Book-to-bill ratio is order intake divided by operating revenues.

Recurring revenues consist of revenues from Software as a Service revenues, Software Leases and Software Maintenance & User Support.

Organic growth is change in operating revenues exclusive acquired companies.
