Performance during Q1 2022

Vitesco Technologies achieved significantly improved earnings in a persistently challenging market environment during the first quarter of 2022. Sales remained almost at the level of the previous year – a year of economic recovery – despite the continuous shortage of semiconductor and short-notice stoppages of production in China due to lockdowns. Positive effects from changes in exchange rates assisted in this development of sales.

While Russia's war of aggression in Ukraine had a significant impact on the development of the share price, there was no lasting impact on operational business development in the first quarter of 2022. In fact, adjusted EBIT even rose significantly compared to the same quarter of the previous year. The key factors included improvements in operating results during the first quarter of 2022 and the Group's ongoing strict cost discipline. Additional expenses due to the shortage of semiconductors also impacted the result in the first quarter of the previous year in the Electronic Controls and Sensing & Actuation business units.

The Group's revenue was €2,258.6 million (previous year: €2,302.0 million), a decline of 1.9%. Adjusted for changes in the scope of consolidation and in exchange rates, revenue fell by 5.6%. Vitesco Technologies' EBIT after adjusting for the effects of changes in the scope of consolidation, depreciation and amortization from purchase-price allocation, and other special

effects came to €45.2 million (previous year: €17.1 million). This corresponds to an adjusted EBIT margin of 2.0% (previous year: 0.7%). Vitesco Technologies' EBIT on a reported basis rose to €37.6 million (previous year: €14.2 million). Net income for the reporting period was -€11.3 million (previous year: -€31.7 million), which makes for -€0.28 earnings per share. Free cash flow decreased mainly because of the development of inventories due to the market situation and because of receivables from customers. It came to an amount of €48.2 million (previous year: €239.1 million). The previous year's figure had also been affected positively through income from the disposal of business operations and through effects from the spin-off. The number of employees as at March 31, 2022, was 37,998 (previous year: 40,052).

The Group's equity was calculated at €2,837.6 million (March 31, 2021: €2,788.1 million) as at the reporting date of March 31, 2022. Accordingly, the Group's total assets of €7,901.0 million (March 31, 2021: €8,248.4 million) made for an equity ratio of 35.9% (March 31, 2021: 33.8%). Vitesco Technologies held cash and cash equivalents of €857.4 million as at the end of March 2022 (March 31, 2021: €273.6 million). They increased in the first quarter of 2022, which was due in particular to the issue and obtainment of a €200.0 million Schuldschein loan. The existing incremental, revolving credit line was in turn reduced from €250.0 million to €50.0 million. After subtracting debt of €483.3 million (March 31, 2021: €239.3 million), excluding pension liabilities, this produces net liquidity of €374.1 million (March 31, 2021: €642.1 million).

Additionally, the first quarter of 2022 was a very successful one in relation to order intake. Vitesco Technologies was able to acquire a total of €4.5 billion in orders. More than 80% of the order intake, equivalent to an order volume of just under €3.7 billion, was recorded for electrification business, particularly for high-voltage applications. Of this amount, €3.5 billion was attributable to the Electrification Technology business unit.

Expectations for Q2 2022

Vitesco Technologies is expecting the more challenging market environment to remain the same in the second quarter of 2022. Local lockdowns in China will likely lead to further production stoppages following the noticeable effects in the first quarter. Ongoing supply constraints, especially with semiconductor and potentially other materials required for production, will continue to result in higher costs for logistics and materials and simultaneously in lower production volumes. The further impacts of Russia's war of aggression in Ukraine might also lead to additional part shortages and corresponding, short-notice adjustments by carmakers. These factors will, in all likelihood, result in the light vehicle production volume in the second quarter of 2022 being on the same level or slightly up on the same quarter of the previous year. A slight decline in light vehicle production is expected for Europe and China.

Market Outlook and Forecast for the 2022 Fiscal Year

Owing to the effects mentioned here for the second quarter, Vitesco Technologies is also adjusting its expectations for global vehicle production in the 2022 fiscal year. The number of vehicles produced is estimated to increase by about 3% to 5% year over year (previously: 8% to 10%). Vitesco Technologies expects the North American market to be the main driver of this increase, with estimated growth of approximately 11% to 13% (previously: 15% to 17%). Europe, on the other hand, is only expected to grow by about 3% to 5% (previously: 17% to 19%). China's vehicle production is expected to change by -2% to 0% (previously: 0% to 2%). However, all estimates remain subject to the same high degree of uncertainty.

In light of the business performance in the first quarter of 2022, the outlook for Vitesco Technologies' expected business development in the 2022 fiscal year as a whole remains nonetheless unchanged from the outlook presented in the annual report. However, the consequences of Russia's war of aggression in Ukraine, regional lockdowns in China, and further shortages or price increases of materials needed for production continue to attach a high degree of uncertainty to this outlook.

Performance of Individual Business Units

The Electrification Technology business unit achieved sales of €161.7 million during the first quarter of 2022 (previous year: €165.2 million). Adjusted EBIT nevertheless improved slightly to -€68.1 million (previous year: -€73.3 million) with an adjusted EBIT margin of -42.1% (previous year: -44.4%). In spite of the continuously high demand for high-voltage electric drive systems and power electronics, the situation in the semiconductor market resulted in reduced sales for the Electrification Technology business unit. However, operational improvements resulting from a higher gross margin year over year helped to increase earnings slightly.

The Electronic Controls business unit recorded revenue of €946.3 million for the first quarter of 2022 (previous year: €984.4 million). Adjusted EBIT came to €22.0 million (previous year: €1.8 million) with an adjusted EBIT margin of 2.3% (previous year: 0.2%). The rising costs and falling revenue caused by the state of the semiconductor market were particularly noticeable in the Electronic Controls business unit. However, the adjusted EBIT margin increased year over year among others thanks to operational improvements.

Revenue in the Sensing & Actuation business unit amounted to €885.9 million in the first quarter of 2022 (previous year: €876.5 million). Adjusted EBIT improved to €84.3 million (previous year: €67.1 million) with an adjusted EBIT margin of 9.5% (previous year: 7.7%). The fallout from the semiconductor shortage could also be felt in the Sensing & Actuation business unit, especially due to the higher material prices. The positive development of the demand in Germany and North America also contributed to the improvement in earnings.

The Contract Manufacturing business unit recorded sales of €278.9 million for the first quarter of 2022 (previous year: €285.7 million). Adjusted EBIT came to €9.2 million (previous year: €20.8 million), while the adjusted EBIT margin was 3.3% (previous year: 7.3%). Accordingly, revenue

development in the first quarter of 2022 reflected the progressive phaseout of contract manufacturing for Continental corporation. Simultaneously, the adjusted EBIT margin shrank as expected.
