Series production fell to 1.0 million Engine Equivalents in April, but increased throughout the quarter, reaching 2.2 million Engine Equivalents in June. Annualised series production for the second quarter amounted to 1.6 million Engine Equivalents. Series production continued to improve in July, reaching 2.7 million Engine Equivalents.
* Annualised average production of Engine Equivalents during the quarter (1 Engine Equivalent = 50 kg)

As a result of the Covid-19 outbreak, and in response to local government lockdown orders, most of the SinterCast foundry customers observed shutdown intervals during the March to June timeframe. The shutdowns caused the annualised series production to decrease from 3.1 million Engine Equivalents in January and February, to 2.4 million Engine Equivalents in March and further to 1.0 million Engine Equivalents in April. From the April low-point, annualised series production improved to 1.6 million Engine Equivalents in May, as some foundries resumed production, and further to 2.2 million Engine Equivalents in June as more foundries returned to production. All of the main SinterCast foundries returned to production before the end of the quarter and series production continued to improve in July, reaching 2.7 million Engine Equivalents, as most customers bypassed the traditional summer shutdown.
Annualised series production in the second quarter amounted to 1.6 million Engine Equivalents, corresponding to 47% of the 3.4 million Engine Equivalent run-rate in the second quarter of 2019. Annualised series production for the first half of the year finished at 2.25 million Engine Equivalents, corresponding to 69% of the annualised series production during the first half of 2019. The production of 2.7 million Engine Equivalents in July corresponds to 82% of the full-year 2019 run-rate of 3.3 million Engine Equivalents.
While the initial recovery continues to evolve positively, the near-term visibility from our foundry customers and OEM end-users remains low. Many OEMs have declined to give near-term forecasts to the supply community or to give full-year profitability guidance to investors. However, it is clear that the recent increase in series production is due to a combination of both inventory rebuild and market demand. The increase in production is encouraging and we maintain the ambition to propose a dividend for the financial results of 2019 to our shareholders at an Extraordinary General Meeting to be convened on or before 20 November. Liquidity was strengthened during the period, following a concerted effort to secure outstanding receivables during the quarter. Cashflow from operations increased by 65%, to SEK 11.9 million (SEK 7.2 million), resulting in liquidity of SEK 49.3 million on 30 June.
Following the System 4000 sale at the WHB foundry in Brazil in May, combined with other capacity and functionality upgrades, installation revenue for the first half of 2020 amounted to SEK 6.5 million. The full-year installation outlook remains positive, with System 4000 Plus installations scheduled to begin in August at the First Automobile Works foundry in China and in September at the Scania foundry in Sweden. Series production is scheduled to begin at both foundries before year-end. The outlook remains for SinterCast to post a second consecutive year of record installation revenue, exceeding the 2019 revenue of SEK 11.9 million. Considering the positive outlook for installation revenue, the annualised production of 1.6 million Engine Equivalents in the second quarter is approximately equal to the breakeven volume.
Discussions are ongoing for CGI process control systems, capacity upgrades, and Tracking Technologies installations in grey iron, CGI and ductile iron foundries; however, many foundries are currently deferring or restricting investment commitments and on-site engineering service. 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.

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

The April−June 2020 revenue amounted to SEK 18.7 million (SEK 33.5). Following foundry shutdown intervals spanning from March to early-June, series production revenue decreased by 53% to SEK 12.5 million (SEK 26.7 million) due to a 53% decrease in annualised series production to 1.6 million (3.4 million) Engine Equivalents and a 60% decrease in Sampling Cup shipments to 19,800 (49,400). Equipment revenue amounted to SEK 6.1 million (SEK 6.6 million), primarily due to the exercise of the System 4000 purchase option at the WHB foundry in Brazil. Engineering Service amounted to SEK 0.1 million (SEK 0.2 million).
The January−June 2020 revenue amounted to SEK 43.3 million (SEK 56.4 million). Revenue from series production decreased by 26% to SEK 36.3 million (SEK 48.9 million), due to a 31% decrease in series production, to 2.25 million (3.25 million) Engine Equivalents, combined with a 25% decrease in Sampling Cup shipments to 64,900 (86,200). Equipment revenue amounted to SEK 6.5 million (SEK 7.1 million). Engineering Service amounted to SEK 0.5 million (SEK 0.4 million).
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 | April−June | January−June | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| (Amounts in SEK million if not otherwise stated) | 2020 | 2019 | 2020 | 2019 |
| Operating Result | 0.8 | 12.9 | 8.7 | 21.8 |
| Result for the period after tax | 3.0 | 14.1 | 9.6 | 22.4 |
| Earnings per Share (SEK) | 0.4 | 2.0 | 1.3 | 3.2 |
The April−June 2020 operating result amounted to SEK 0.8 million (SEK 12.9 million), as a result of lower gross results of SEK 12.5 million primarily derived from lower revenue of SEK 14.8 million. The result for the period after

tax amounted to SEK 3.0 million (SEK 14.1 million), primarily related to the SEK 12.1 million decrease in the operating result, and an increase of SEK 1.9 million in the financial net (primarily increased unrealised revaluation gains derived from outstanding hedge contracts). During the period, no governmental support in relation to the COVID-19 virus has been received, other than a reduced general payroll tax amounting to SEK 0.3 million.
The January−June 2020 operating result amounted to SEK 8.7 million (SEK 21.8 million), as a result of lower gross results of SEK 13.4 million primarily derived from lower revenue of SEK 13.1 million. The result for the period after tax amounted to SEK 9.6 million (SEK 22.4 million), primarily related to the SEK 13.1 million decrease in the operating result, and an increase of SEK 1.1 million in the financial net (primarily increased unrealised revaluation gains derived from outstanding hedge contracts).
| Cashflow Summary | January−June | Cashflow Changes | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| (Amounts in SEK million if not otherwise stated) | 2020 | 2019 | 2020 vs 2019 | |
| Cashflow from operations, before change in working capital | 10.6 | 22.4 | -11.8 | |
| Change in working capital | 10.4 | -8.0 | 18.4 | |
| Cashflow from operations | 21.0 | 14.4 | 6.6 | |
| Cashflow from investing activities | -4.0 | -0.7 | -3.3 | |
| Cashflow from financing activities | -0.6 | -18.2 | 17.6 | |
| Cashflow total | 16.4 | -4.5 | 20.9 | |
| Liquidity | 49.3 | 28.3 |
The January−June 2020 cashflow from operations increased by SEK 6.6 million due to the decrease in cashflow before changes in working capital of SEK 11.8 million and the decrease in working capital of SEK 18.4 million, primarily due to the payment of outstanding invoices combined with the decrease in revenue. Total investments amounted to SEK 4.0 million, primarily related to the IFRS 16 activation of lease agreements (SEK 2.5 million), activation of products under development (SEK 0.7 million), facility investments (SEK 0.7 million), and ITinvestments (SEK 0.1 million). Financing activities include IFRS 16 lease payments of SEK 0.6 million. No dividend has been distributed during the January-June 2020 period (SEK 17.7 million) due to the market uncertainty caused by the onset of the COVID-19 virus. Accordingly, the total cashflow amounted to SEK 16.4 million (SEK -4.5 million). Liquidity on 30 June 2020 was SEK 49.3 million (SEK 28.3 million). SinterCast has no loans.
Tax income for the January−June 2020 period amounted to SEK 0.0 million (SEK 0.9 million). The estimated future taxable profit and deferred tax asset calculation is reassessed every quarter. As of 30 June 2020, SEK 213.1 million (SEK 176.9 million) of the SinterCast total carried-forward tax losses are the basis of the updated calculation, resulting in SEK 44.1 million (SEK 36.6 million) being capitalised as a deferred tax asset. The deferred tax asset calculation is based on historical eight-year average currency rates.
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.
Prior to the onset of the COVID-19 virus, most forecasters were predicting near-term stabilisation or softening of the global passenger vehicle, commercial vehicle and industrial power markets, with the main market risk for SinterCast and its end-user industries related to the potential impact of political uncertainty and the renegotiation of international tariffs and free-trade agreements on vehicle sales and the demand for goods transportation. However, COVID-19 has quickly evolved to dominate the near-term risk outlook for the global automotive and foundry industries. It is not yet possible to predict the recovery ramp or the influence on the SinterCast market development. However, 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 the COVID-19 virus. While the series production may be temporarily influenced by the COVID-19 virus, SinterCast remains confident in the long-term growth of CGI.
