Series production in the fourth quarter amounted to 1.85 million Engine Equivalents, providing a new quarterly record and a 16% year-on-year increase. Overall, every quarter during 2014 either provided or maintained record levels of series production. The strong growth in production resulted in a 12% increase in Sampling Cup shipments and led toward record revenue of SEK 54.5 million. Beyond the record production and record revenue, the operating result finished 40% higher than 2013. The outlook remains positive in each of the passenger vehicle, commercial vehicle and industrial power sectors, as competitive benchmarks and market awareness continue to grow. It is estimated that the current series production programmes have the potential to provide approximately 2.5 million Engine Equivalents at mature volume.
Series production was buoyed by the continued ramp-up of commercial vehicle production, particularly in Europe, and by the start of series production of new heavy duty cylinder heads for Deutz and Hyundai. The cylinder head for Deutz is for a high performance 7.8 litre engine developed for agricultural applications. Produced at the Halberg foundry in Leipzig Germany, Deutz specified CGI for the cylinder head to meet three of the main requirements of agricultural machinery: high torque, durability, and a compact engine package to minimise turning circle. This engine establishes a new benchmark for CGI in the agriculture sector and it is an honour for our technology to be embraced by Deutz, the world's first engine company, founded in 1864 by Nicolaus Otto, the inventor of the internal combustion engine. The Hyundai cylinder head is a CGI upgrade of a current 12.7 litre engine. The cylinder head was converted from grey iron to CGI to ensure durability in parallel with power and torque increases. The 12.7 litre head is Hyundai's sixth SinterCast-CGI component, extending Hyundai's CGI leadership in Asia.
SinterCast's technology featured prominently in the year-end award recognitions. The Ford F150 won the North American Truck/Utility of the Year award at the North American International Auto Show in January. The F150, with the SinterCast-CGI 2.7 litre V6 petrol engine also won the Automotive Science Group's Best All-Around Performance Award full size trucks, recognising the best total cost of ownership and the best life cycle environmental performance. At the same time, the Ram 1500 won the Green Truck of the Year award presented by Green Car Journal while the Ram 3.0 litre V6 diesel engine won a second consecutive Wards 10 Best Engines award, and was the only diesel to receive the coveted award this year. SinterCast's technology was also recognised by the Cast Metal Federation in the UK as it awarded Grainger & Worrall the Casting of the Year award for the Ford 2.7 litre V6 petrol engine cylinder block. These prestigious awards, together with new vehicle launches at the North American International Auto Show such as the Nissan Titan XD pick-up with a SinterCast-CGI diesel engine designed and built by Cummins, constitute significant steps in the awareness of CGI and in the competitive benchmarks in the automotive industry.
Following negotiations during the fourth quarter, Dongfeng Trucks, China's largest heavy duty truckmaker, signed an agreement for the installation of a Mini-System 3000, planned to be shipped during the first quarter of 2015. The installation will enable Dongfeng to independently develop high quality CGI cylinder blocks and heads. The Dongfeng order marks SinterCast's ninth installation in China, following installations at Zhongding Power and Impro Industries during 2014, broadening SinterCast's presence and brand awareness, and providing additional opportunities to increase SinterCast-CGI production in the commercial vehicle sector.
The SinterCast ductile iron technology is expected to provide additional benefit to customers by reducing magnesium consumption, improving mould yield and reducing casting defects in the foundry, and by improving machinability. Development of the ductile iron technology accelerated during the quarter with field trials and continued product development. The current development is focussing on the optimisation of the ductile iron thermal analysis sampling device and the metallurgical correlations, and on the preparation for reference case studies.
Revenue for the SinterCast Group relates primarily to income from equipment, series production and engineering service.

| Total | 15.6 | 14.4 | 54.5 | 51.9 |
Notes: 1. Includes revenue from system sales and leases and sales of spare parts
October-December 2014 revenue amounted to SEK 15.6 million (SEK 14.4 million). Revenue from series production increased by 39% to SEK 13.9 million (SEK 10.0 million), due to record annualised production of approximately 1.85 million (1.60 million) annualised Engine Equivalents during the quarter and the increased shipment of 38,200 (28,600) Sampling Cups. During the period, additional equipment was sold to the Tupy foundry in Brazil to expand and reinforce the production capability. However, the total equipment revenue for the quarter was lower compared to the strong installation activity during the fourth quarter of 2013. Engineering Service amounted to SEK 0.3 million (SEK 0.2 million).
January-December 2014 revenue amounted to SEK 54.5 million (SEK 51.9 million). Revenue from series production increased by 19% to SEK 47.8 million (SEK 40.2 million) due to increased production and Sampling Cup shipments. Equipment revenue amounted to SEK 4.9 million (SEK 10.1 million). Engineering Service amounted to SEK 1.4 million (SEK 1.4 million) following support provided to various customers globally and the sale of test pieces. The revenue from the leased installations is accrued over the lease period.
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 | October-December | January - December | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| (Amounts in SEK million if not otherwise stated) | 2014 | 2013 | 2014 | 2013 |
| Operating Result | 3.5 | 2.1 | 10.2 | 7.3 |
| Result for the period after tax | 3.7 | 2.1 | 12.3 | 8.1 |
| Earnings per Share (SEK) | 0.5 | 0.3 | 1.7 | 1.2 |
The October-December 2014 operating result of SEK 3.5 million (SEK 2.1 million) increased as a result of higher gross results of SEK 2.0 million, higher operational expenses of SEK 0.1 million and lower other operating income (exchange gains) of SEK 0.5 million. The result for the period after tax amounted to SEK 3.7 million (SEK 2.1 million), primarily related to the increase in the operating result from SEK 2.1 million to SEK 3.5 million, the increased financial net of SEK 0.1 million and the decreased tax expenses of SEK 0.1 million.
The January- December 2014 operating result of SEK 10.2 million (SEK 7.3 million) increased as a result of higher gross results of SEK 3.5 million primarily derived from higher revenue, combined with higher operational expenses of SEK 0.8 million and increased operating income from exchange gains of SEK 0.2 million. The result for the period after tax amounted to SEK 12.3 million (SEK 8.1 million), primarily related to the increased operating result of SEK 2.9 million, the increased financial net of SEK 1.0 million (primarily exchange gains), and increased tax income amounting to SEK 0.3 million, primarily due to the deferred tax adjustment.
Tax amounted to SEK 0.9 million (SEK 0.6 million) during the January-December 2014 period, primarily explained by the SEK 1.0 million increase in the deferred tax asset during the second quarter of 2014. The estimated future taxable profit and deferred tax asset calculation is reassessed every quarter. As of 31 December 2014, SEK 133.3 million (SEK 128.5 million) of SinterCast's total carried-forward tax losses have been used as the basis of the updated calculation, resulting in SEK 29.3 million (SEK 28.3 million) being capitalised as a deferred tax asset.
| Cashflow Summary Fourth Quarter | October - December | Cashflow Changes | |
|---|---|---|---|
| (Amounts in SEK million if not otherwise stated) | 2014 | 2013 | 2014 vs. 2013 |

| Exchange rate differences in cash and cash equivalents | 0.2 | 0.0 | 0.2 |
| Cashflow total | 2.9 | 13.1 | -10.2 |
October-December 2014 cashflow from operations decreased by SEK 4.4 million compared to the same period in 2013, primarily due to an increase in working capital (SEK 6.2 million), derived from decreased inventory (SEK 1.2 million), increased receivables (SEK 3.9 million) and decreased operating liabilities (SEK 3.5 million). The total cashflow decreased by SEK 10.2 million, primarily due to the net contribution in 2013 of
the new share issue associated with the exercise of the employee stock options (SEK 5.6 million). Investments increased by SEK 0.4 million, primarily from the activation of products under development (SEK 0.3 million). After positive exchange rate differences of SEK 0.2 million, the total cashflow amounted to SEK 2.9 million (SEK 13.1 million).
| Cashflow Summary Full Year | January - December | Cashflow Changes | |
|---|---|---|---|
| (Amounts in SEK million if not otherwise stated) | 2014 | 2013 | 2014 vs. 2013 |
| Cashflow from operations, before change in working capital | 10.9 | 8.1 | 2.8 |

| Liquidity | 44.9 | 47.8 |
January-December 2014 cashflow from operations decreased by SEK 7.7 million compared to full-year 2013, primarily due to an increase in working capital (SEK 10.5 million), derived from decreased inventory (SEK 0.3 million), increased receivables (SEK 4.3 million) and decreased operating liabilities (SEK 6.5 million). The total cashflow decreased by SEK 15.3 million, primarily related to the net contribution in 2013 of the new share issue associated with the exercise of the employee stock options (SEK 5.6 million) and the increased dividend of SEK 1.5 million. Investments increased by SEK 0.7 million, primarily from the activation of products under development (SEK 0.3 million) and from increased patent investments (SEK 0.4 million). The total cashflow amounted to SEK -2.9 million (SEK 12.4 million). Liquidity on 31 December 2014 was SEK 44.9 million (SEK 47.8 million).
The main uncertainty factor for SinterCast continues to be the timing of the CGI market ramp-up. This primarily depends on OEM decisions for new CGI engines and other components, the global economy for new vehicle sales, and the individual sales success of vehicles equipped with SinterCast-CGI components.
The global economy has developed differently in Europe, Asia and the Americas over the last several years. The European passenger vehicle, commercial vehicle, and construction equipment markets have begun to show some recovery, but this growth is from a relatively low level and uncertainty remains in the market. In Asia, the dominant Chinese market is characterised by overcapacity in the commercial vehicle and construction equipment sectors, which represent the primary opportunity for CGI. This overcapacity, coupled with the current economic uncertainty in China, influences product development cycles and production volumes. In contrast, consumer confidence has increased in North America and SinterCast has benefitted from increased vehicle sales. SinterCast's geographical diversification helps to mitigate changing macroeconomic conditions in the different regions. However, as manufacturing continues to grow in developing countries, many of the future installation opportunities will be in price sensitive markets and this can present a challenge for the SinterCast fee structure and Business Model.
For further risk and uncertainty factor information, please see note 26 on p.46 in SinterCast's Annual Report 2013
