CEO Comments

Strong start; positive outlook

Following short months in January due to new year shutdowns and in February due to the 28-day calendar coupled with holiday periods for some of our key foundry partners, annualised series production in March increased to 3.6 million Engine Equivalents, marking the third highest month on record. The strong production in March boosted the first-quarter volume to 3.2 million Engine Equivalents, providing the highest first quarter on record. In perspective, the first quarter production was 10% above the first quarters of 2021 and 2020, and significantly, 3% higher than the corresponding pre-Covid volume in the first quarter of 2019. Together, the increase in production, combined with an increase in Sampling Cup shipments and favourable exchange rates, increased year-on-year first quarter revenue by 16% to SEK 28.1 million.

Following strong production of 3.6 million Engine Equivalents in March, annualised series production for the first quarter finished at 3.2 million Engine Equivalents, providing the highest first quarter production on record and the first full quarter with higher volume than the corresponding pre-Covid quarter.

The first quarter marked the start of series production of a new 13 litre commercial vehicle engine at the new Scania foundry in Sweden, with both the cylinder block and the cylinder head produced in SinterCast-CGI. The Scania production will continue to ramp up during 2022 – and beyond – eventually providing one million incremental Engine Equivalents per year when full volume is reached. While the new Scania engine has begun to make a contribution, the anticipated production of a new 16 litre cylinder block for First Automobile Works (FAW) has not yet started, due to renewed Covid lockdowns in China. Overall, the outlook for series production is positive, with the continued ramp of the Scania engine; the pending start of production of the FAW cylinder block; the return to series production for the Ford 3.0 litre V6 diesel with a SinterCast-CGI cylinder block for Ford Ranger and Volkswagen Amarok in Europe; and, the anticipated global improvement of semiconductor availability. Building on these positive indicators, we maintain our ambition to reach the monthly four million Engine Equivalent milestone this year.

Together, the increase in production, combined with an increase in Sampling Cup shipments and favourable exchange rates, increased year-on-year first quarter revenue by 16% to SEK 28.1 million.

The first quarter also obviously introduced new challenges for the global economy with the onset of war in Ukraine. SinterCast has not yet received any revenue from Russia nor does it have any installations in Russia or any Tier II supply of SinterCast-CGI castings into Russia. As such, SinterCast has no direct exposure to Russia. However,

Western OEMs have suspended sales of finished vehicles into Russia and this may have an indirect, although limited, impact on SinterCast. Over the last few years, SinterCast has had market development contacts with two Russian commercial vehicle manufacturers, supported by a local ad-hoc consultant. At the outset of the war, SinterCast indefinitely suspended the contact with these parties. SinterCast is not immune to the overall effects of the geopolitical uncertainty caused by the war, but with more than 80% of our foundry production and more than 50% of our engine assembly based in the Americas, we judge that there is no immediate or significant threat to the supply chains that could affect the current series production outlook.

Overall, the outlook for series production is positive, with the continued ramp of the Scania engine; the pending start of production of the FAW cylinder block; the return to series production for the Ford 3.0 litre V6 diesel for Ford Ranger and Volkswagen Amarok in Europe; and, the anticipated global improvement semiconductor availability.

During April, the WHB foundry in Brazil, as part of its insolvency restructuring plan, served notice of termination of the Agreement for the deferred purchase of a System 4000. The System 4000 was initially installed at WHB in November 2019 and the purchase option was exercised in May 2020. However, due to the ongoing restructuring of the company, WHB has decided to return the System 4000 to SinterCast. The termination of the deferred purchase agreement will result in a one-time impact on the result by approximately SEK 4.5 million, to be recognised in the second quarter of 2022. There is no current CGI production at WHB and none of the programmes in the anticipated growth to reach the monthly five million Engine Equivalents milestone by 2024 were attributed to WHB.

Following three strong years for installation revenue, with consecutive records in 2019 and 2020 and a strong finish in 2021, many of the opportunities in the installation pipeline have been realised. This, together with the Covidinduced reduction in capital expenditure planning in the foundry industry leads toward a more modest expectation for installation revenue in 2022. Nonetheless, installation discussions are ongoing for CGI process control systems, capacity upgrades, and Tracking Technologies installations. In addition to these current installation opportunities, SinterCast is also investigating the development of other unique technologies – within and beyond the scope of thermal analysis – to improve quality and production efficiency in the metals industry, and to broaden our product portfolio and our production base.

Financial Summary

Revenue

The revenue for the SinterCast Group relates primarily to income from equipment, series production and engineering service.

Revenue Breakdown January−March January−December
(Amounts in SEK million) 2022 2021 2021 2020
Equipment1 0.8 1.5 8.5 16.6
Series production2 26.9 22.4 97.4 77.1
Engineering service3 0.4 0.4 1.5 1.7
Total 28.1 24.3 107.4 95.4
Number of Sampling Cups shipped 48,800 44,600 208,700 140,600
  1. Includes revenue from sold and leased CGI and Tracking systems and spare parts

  2. Includes revenue from consumables, production fees and software licence fees

  3. Includes revenue from engineering service, demonstrations and test pieces

The January−March 2022 revenue amounted to SEK 28.1 million (SEK 24.3 million). Series production revenue increased by 20.1% to SEK 26.9 million (SEK 22.4 million), due to a 10% increase in series production, a 9% increase in Sampling Cup shipments and an 11% USD/SEK exchange rate tailwind. Equipment revenue amounted to SEK 0.8 million (SEK 1.5 million), primarily due to spare parts shipments.

Results

The business activities of SinterCast are best reflected by the Operating Result. This is because the "Result for the period after tax" and the "Earnings per Share" are influenced by the financial income and costs and by the revaluation of tax assets.

Results Summary January−March January−December
(Amounts in SEK million if not otherwise stated) 2022 2021 2021 2020
Operating result 7.6 8.5 31.5 21.7
Result for the period after tax 7.9 6.9 32.9 22.2
Earnings per share (SEK) 1.1 1.0 4.6 3.1

The January−March 2022 operating result decreased by 10.6% to SEK 7.6 million (SEK 8.5 million). The decrease is primarily because of a SEK 3.8 million increase in revenue, resulting in a SEK 3.1 million increase in gross margin; an increase in operating costs of SEK 0.5 million; and, net decreases in other operating income of SEK 3.5 million. The result for the period after tax increased by 14.5% to SEK 7.9 million (SEK 6.9 million).

Cashflow, Liquidity and Investments

Cashflow Summary January−March Cashflow Changes
(Amounts in SEK million if not otherwise stated) 2022 2021 2022 vs 2021
Cashflow from operations, before change in working capital 9.1 8.5 0.6
Change in working capital -10.5 -1.8 -8.7
Cashflow from operations -1.4 6.7 -8.1
Cashflow from investing activities -1.2 -1.0 -0.2
Cashflow from financing activities -0.4 -0.4 0.0
Cashflow total -3.0 5.3 -8.3
Liquidity 24.5 31.6

The January−March 2022 cashflow from operations decreased by SEK 8.1 million, compared to the same period last year, primarily related to the SEK 8.7 million increase in working capital. The primary reason for the increase in working capital is due to a SEK 6.0 million increase in customer receivables since year-end 2021, caused by the mandatory extension of payment terms by a major customer from 60 to 90 days. Total investments amounted to SEK 1.2 million (SEK 1.0 million). Total cashflow amounted to SEK -3.0 million (SEK 5.3 million). Liquidity on 31 March 2022 was SEK 24.5 million (SEK 31.6 million). SinterCast has no loans.

Income Tax and Deferred Tax Asset

Tax income for the January−March 2022 period amounted to SEK 0.0 million (SEK 0.0 million). The estimated future taxable profit and deferred tax asset calculation is reassessed every quarter. As of 31 March 2022, SEK 233.5 million (SEK 214.1 million) of the SinterCast total carried-forward tax losses are the basis of the updated calculation, resulting in SEK 48.1 million (SEK 44.1 million) being capitalised as a deferred tax asset. The deferred tax asset calculation is based on historical ten-year average currency rates.

Risks and Uncertainty Factors

Uncertainty factors for SinterCast include the timing of OEM decisions for new CGI engines and other components, adherence to start-of-production dates and ramp projections, the global economy for new vehicle sales, technology trends and emissions legislation, and the individual sales success of vehicles equipped with SinterCast-CGI components.

Covid-19, related material shortages and the geopolitical uncertainty caused by the war in Ukraine are the dominant near-term risk factors for the global foundry and automotive industries. While it is not yet possible to quantify the impact of these factors on the near-term market development, SinterCast remains confident in the long-term growth of CGI. Other factors that may influence the market risk for SinterCast and its end-user industries include the renegotiation of international tariffs and free-trade agreements on vehicle sales, climate change legislation and the associated growth of alternative powertrain technologies, and the overall demand for goods transportation.

No significant risk of material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities has been identified at the balance sheet date and no costs have been taken to the profit and loss due to Covid-19.

For additional risk and uncertainty factor information, see the SinterCast Annual Report.

During April, the WHB foundry in Brazil, as part of its insolvency restructuring plan, served notice of termination of the Agreement for the deferred purchase of a System 4000. The termination of the deferred purchase agreement will impact the Operating Result by approximately SEK 4.5 million, to be recognised in the second quarter of 2022.

Outlook Guidance

The overall outlook for series production is positive, benefitting from the continued ramp of the Scania engine; the pending start of production of the FAW cylinder block; the return to series production of the Ford 3.0 litre V6 diesel

for Ford Ranger and Volkswagen Amarok in Europe; pent-up demand; and, the anticipated global improvement of semiconductor availability. Building on these positive indicators, SinterCast maintains the ambition to reach the monthly four million Engine Equivalent milestone in 2022 and to reach the monthly five million milestone in 2024.

Previously Published (8 February 2022)

Looking forward, the combination of pent-up market demand, recovering supply chains, strong Sampling Cup orders, the pending start of commercial vehicle production at Scania and First Automobile Works, and additional CGI programmes coming on stream all align to reinforce our double-digit growth outlook, providing the opportunity to break the monthly four million milestone in 2022 and the ambition to reach the five million milestone in 2024.
