Forward-Looking Statements and Non-IFRS Measures
This presentation contains certain "forward-looking statements". These statements are based on management's current expectations and are subject to risks, uncertainty and changes in circumstances, which may cause actual results, performance, financial condition or achievements to differ materially from anticipated results, performance, financial condition or achievements. All statements contained herein that are not clearly historical in nature are forward-looking and the words "anticipate," "believe," "expect," "estimate," "plan," and similar expressions are generally intended to identify forward-looking statements. We have no intention and are under no obligation to update or alter (and expressly disclaim any such intention or obligation to do so) our forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except to the extent required by law. The forward-looking statements in this presentation include statements addressing our future financial condition and operating results. Examples of factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements include, among others, business, economic, competitive and regulatory risks, such as conditions affecting demand for products, particularly in the automotive industries; competition and pricing pressure; fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices; natural disasters and political, economic and military instability in countries in which we operate; developments in the credit markets; future goodwill impairment; compliance with current and future environmental and other laws and regulations; and the possible effects on us of changes in tax laws, tax treaties and other legislation. More detailed information about these and other factors is set forth in the 2019 Kongsberg Automotive Annual Report, Kongsberg Automotive Quarterly Reports and various investor presentations published in conjunction with the 2020 capital increase.
Where we have used non-IFRS financial measures, reconciliations to the most comparable IFRS measure are provided, along with a disclosure on the usefulness of the non-IFRS measure, in this presentation.
• The Corona Virus and a weak start to the year 2020 have impacted the automotive industry heavily. Primarily due to the Chinese market, the market developments in the light duty vehicles markets have been markedly different than in the heavy-duty vehicles market.
| Performance | ▪ Adjusted EBIT amounted to MEUR 13.9 in Q3 2020, the same as in Q3 2019, the adj. EBIT margin rose from 5.0% to 5.5%. At lower YoY revenues, we benefitted from strict cost controls, fixed cost reductions and somewhat lower material costs. ▪ There were no significant translational FX impacts. ▪ Compared to Q2 2020 the adjusted EBIT increased from MEUR -33,5 to MEUR 13,9 based on a revenue increase of MEUR 105 which implies a fall through of 48%. |
|---|---|
| Cash Flow | ▪ Change in cash for the current quarter was MEUR 14.5, including negative currency effects of MEUR 1.4. ▪ The capital increase contributed MEUR 27.3 (Subsequent Offering). ▪ The RCF line remains unused. ▪ Free Cash Flow for the quarter amounted to negative MEUR 12.4, impacted by a business-driven working capital increase. ▪ As previously announced, the Company entered into a receivable securitization agreement increasing its liquidity reserve by MEUR 60.0 with a three-year tenure. This securitization program was unused at the end of Q3 2020. ▪ The total liquidity reserve on September 30, 2020 amounted to MEUR 200.8. |
| Gearing | ▪ The adjusted gearing ratio (NIBD/Adj. EBITDA) deteriorated from 3.0X in Q3 2019 to 5.8X in Q3 2020, again mainly driven by the effects of the Corona Virus pandemic. ▪ The adjusted gearing ratio will continue to be impacted by the Q2 2020 figures until Q1 2021 as this is an LTM calculated ratio. ▪ Sequentially, our adjusted gearing ratio improved from 6.1X in Q2 2020 to 5.8X in Q3 2020. |

The Interior segment consists of two business units: Interior Comfort Systems (ICS) and Light Duty Cables (LDC).
Revenues in Q3 2020 showed a slight increase YoY excluding negative currency translation effects of MEUR 2.8. The Interior segment mainly serves the premium passenger car market which has performed well on a relative basis after the Corona Virus imposed lockdowns, particularly in China and North America.

Excluding one-time effects, the Adj. EBIT has improved YoY through strict cost discipline offsetting increased freight costs of MEUR 0.5 driven by material shortages driven by strong spikes in customer demand.
Customer development assets of MEUR 1.5 were written down during the quarter.
All plant operations are "back to normal" and – with the normalizing volumes - benefit now from the operational improvements achieved last year and the cost control measures implemented this year.
Within Q3 2020, the segment keeps focusing on maintaining high labor productivity/efficiency (constantly increasing ratio revenue per employee throughout the quarter), controlling variable and fixed costs.
The new Chinese plant contributed to the sales growth which was driven by increased production of premium vehicles and "New Energy Vehicles". China revenues for this vehicle segment grew by 50% from around MEUR 6 to MEUR 9 YoY.
Moreover, during the quarter there were some ongoing stock-build ups for the relocation of production lines to the new Shuofang plant.
Annualized revenues 17 17 0
High new business wins level in Q3 2020 has significantly made up for shortcomings in Q2 2020.
Within the quarter, Interior was awarded two large contracts: one to supply seat heat systems to a major premium US car maker and one to supply seat support systems to a major European car maker with start of production in Q2 2022. The programs totals MEUR 2.7 and MEUR 2.0 in expected annualized revenues and MEUR 24.5 and MEUR 16.3 in expected lifetime revenues.
Q3 2019 Q3 2020
The Power and Chassis segment consists of two business units: On-Highway (ONH) and Driveline (DRL) serving the passenger car and heavy-duty vehicles industries, respectively.
The decline was mainly driven by the lingering low revenue levels in Europe and US which were positively offset by growth in China where revenues in Q3 2020 reached an all-time high through an increase of KA's market share in the Chinese passenger car market.
Higher profitability in Q3 2020 has benefited from the additional revenues and more efficient control of variable and fixed costs in the European and American plants.
Lifetime revenues
Market activities for new business awards were in general very low. New Business Wins included a shift by wire project to a Chinese customer with expected annualized revenues of MEUR 0.7 and MEUR 2.9 in expected lifetime revenues.
All plant operations are "back to normal" and – with the normalizing volumes - benefit now from the operational improvements achieved last year and the cost control measures implemented this year.
On our supply side, we are in process to replace some suppliers who struggled with the current market environment and ceased deliveries to their customers.
-13 The Specialty Products segment consists of three business units: Couplings (COU), Fluid Transfer Systems (FTS) and Off-Highway (OFH).
The revenue development in this segment was mainly driven by weaker heavy-duty vehicle end markets and specific passenger car platforms in addition to slower ramping up after the lockdown period in Off-Highway. This was partly offset by strong performance from Couplings mainly driven by the Chinese customers. Excluding negative currency effects, Couplings had flat revenues YoY.
The YoY increase in Adj. EBIT is attributable to favorable foreign exchange rate effects, positive operational efficiency improvements plus some effects from of brass and resin raw material prices reductions.
Like the other segments, all plant operations are "back to normal" and – with the normalizing volumes - benefit now from the operational improvements achieved last year and the cost control measures
We have made the first shipments of serial products from the new Couplings manufacturing facility in Cluses.
The new business wins included fluid transfer systems to a major European car maker and mechanical cabling projects to a premium European OEM. These programs account for approximately MEUR 2.9 and MEUR 2.3 in annualized revenues, respectively, or MEUR 20.2 and MEUR 11.6 in expected lifetime revenues, respectively.

Despite revenues being MEUR 24.0 less than Q3 2019, adj. EBIT has even slightly improved.
The interest expenses remained at the same level as in Q3 2019 (MEUR 5.4 in Q3 2020 vs. MEUR 5.2 in Q3 2019).
Other financial expenses were MEUR -5.4 compared to MEUR -1.3 in Q3 2019, especially due to non-cash unrealized FX effects (loss of MEUR 5.1 in Q3 2020 vs. loss of MEUR 1.0 in Q3 2019).
Tax income in Q3 2020 amounted to MEUR 1.2 compared to the tax charge of MEUR 1.0 in Q3 2019.
Compared to Q2 2020 the adjusted EBIT increased from MEUR -33,5 to MEUR 13,9 based on a revenue increase of MEUR 105.
