* Annualised average production of Engine Equivalents during the quarter (1 Engine Equivalent = 50 kg)

CEO Comments

Series production increases 33%, led by commercial vehicle gains

Annualised series production during the fourth quarter was 1.60 million Engine Equivalents, providing a 33% year-on-year increase. The production was led by a 100% increase in commercial vehicle volume compared to the fourth quarter of 2012, benefitting from resumed production of the Navistar 13L cylinder block and the start of series production in the second quarter of 2013 of new high volume cylinder block programmes for Scania and one other European OEM. Gains were also realised in the passenger vehicle sector as the frontrunning Ford 6.7L V8 used in Super Duty pick-up applications continued to increase and as the VM Motori 3.0L V6 diesel became SinterCast's fifth engine programme to crack the annualised 100,000 Engine Equivalent barrier early in the year.

During the fourth quarter, SinterCast began series production of the world's first high volume CGI petrol engine at the Tupy foundry in Saltillo, Mexico. The engine was revealed by Ford at the 2014 North American International Auto Show on 13 January, as an integral component of the 2015 F150 pick-up truck, and a key contributor to the saving of up to 700 pounds (318 kg) compared to the 2014 model. The 2.7L CGI V6 was heralded as a "game changer" in the industry and, with application in North America's best-selling vehicle, provides a high profile first reference for CGI in petrol applications. The industry's year-end awards provided further accolades for SinterCast-CGI engines, with the Ram 1500 becoming the first pick-up truck to win back-to-back Motor Trend Truck of the Year Awards following the introduction of the 3.0L V6 SinterCast-CGI diesel engine, while the engine itself received a coveted Wards 10 Best Engine award. After earning a bestin-class 28 mpg highway (8.4 litres/100 km) rating from the EPA on 4 February, sales of the Ram diesel picup began on 7 February. In the commercial vehicle sector, the American Truck Dealers association awarded its medium-duty commercial vehicle Truck of the Year award to the Navistar Terrastar 4x4 equipped with a SinterCast-CGI 6.4L V8 engine.

Record installation revenue

With the order of a new System 3000 Plus in October, SinterCast achieved a third consecutive record year for new installation commitments. The installation, undisclosed at the time due to a customer blackout period, is destined for Tupy's recently commissioned Foundry C production line in Joinville, Brazil. The installation was ordered to accommodate increased demand for CGI cylinder blocks and becomes Tupy's fifth SinterCast installation, extending its global lead for CGI production capability. The Tupy installation was the third full System 3000 installation commitment during 2013, following installations at the Halberg foundry in Germany and at the Scania foundry in Sweden. Combined with Mini-System 3000 installations at the University of Alabama in the US and at Jiangling Motors Corporation (JMC) in China, and the installation of an automatic base treatment station to upgrade an existing System 3000 installation at Tupy to the full System 3000 Plus capability, 2013 provided six new installations and surpassed the previous installation revenue record set in 2012.

The positive installation activity continued in January 2014 with a new order for a System 3000 Plus from one of China's largest automotive component conglomerates. The installation is planned to be commissioned at the company's new purpose-built CGI foundry in China during the second quarter of 2014. SinterCast will also supply the mechanical infrastructure for the cored-wire base treatment and correction operations and will provide technical support during the installation and start of production. Series production of CGI engine components for commercial vehicle, off-road and stationary power applications is planned to begin before the end of 2014.

SinterCast continues to provide technical support for product development programmes for passenger vehicle, commercial vehicle and industrial power applications in Europe, Asia and the Americas. It is estimated that the combined potential of the current series production programmes and the programmes currently under development represents a market opportunity of approximately 4.7 million Engine Equivalents per year within SinterCast's five year planning horizon. It is further estimated that the programmes that are currently in series production have the potential to provide more than 2.5 million Engine Equivalents when they reach mature volume.

Ductile iron technology

Internal development and field trials of the ductile iron technology continued through the quarter, and market opportunities remain under discussion. The SinterCast ductile iron technology is expected to provide an additional benefit to customers by reducing magnesium consumption, improving mould yield and reducing casting defects in the foundry, and by improving machinability.

Financial Summary

Revenue

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

  2. Includes revenue from technical support, on-site trials and sales of test pieces

The October-December 2013 revenue amounted to SEK 14.4 million (SEK 14.4 million). The revenue is the same as the fourth quarter of 2012, despite that the installation revenue was SEK 2.8 million lower. The revenue from series production increased by 39% to SEK 10.0 million (SEK 7.2 million), due to the production of approximately 1.6 million (1.2 million) annualised Engine Equivalents and the shipment of 28,600 (21,500) Sampling Cups. Equipment revenue amounted to SEK 4.2 million (SEK 7.0 million), following the shipment of a complete System 3000 Plus to Tupy, Brazil. Engineering Service amounted to SEK 0.2 million (SEK 0.2 million) following support provided primarily to Chinese customers and to various other customers globally.

The January-December 2013 revenue amounted to SEK 51.9 million (SEK 45.9 million). The revenue from series production increased by 12% to SEK 40.2 million (SEK 35.8 million), due higher series production and the shipment of 118,500 (102,400) Sampling Cups. Equipment revenue amounted to SEK 10.1 million (SEK 9.0 million), primarily related to the new System 3000 installations at Tupy Foundry C in Brazil, Halberg in

Germany and Scania in Sweden; the Mini-System 3000 shipments to the University of Alabama in the US and to JMC in China; and, the automated base treatment control system (System 3000 Plus upgrade) at Tupy, Brazil. The revenue from the leased installations is accrued over the lease period.

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 October-December January- December
(Amounts in SEK million if not otherwise stated) 2013 2012 2013 2012
Operating Result 2.1 2.0 7.3 1.0
Result for the period after tax 2.1 -3.6 8.1 -3.7
Earnings per Share (SEK) 0.3 -0.5 1.2 -0.5

The October-December 2013 Operating Result of SEK 2.1 million (SEK 2.0 million) increased as a result of higher gross results of SEK 0.6 million derived from higher revenue, higher operational expenses of SEK 0.4 million, and lower exchange gains from operating receivables and liabilities of SEK 0.1 million.

The Result for the period after tax amounted to SEK 2.1 million (SEK -3.6 million), primarily related to an increase in the Operating Result of SEK 0.1 million, the increased financial net of SEK 0.3 million and decreased tax net expense of SEK 5.3 million.

The January-December 2013 Operating Result of SEK 7.3 million (SEK 1.0 million), increased as a result of higher gross results of SEK 5.1 million derived from higher revenue and lower operational expenses of SEK 1.3 million and lower exchange gains from operating receivables and liabilities of SEK 0.1 million.

The Result for the period after tax amounted to SEK 8.1 million (SEK -3.7 million), primarily related to an increase in the Operating Result of SEK 6.3 million, the decreased financial net of SEK 0.8 million and decreased tax net expense of SEK 6.3 million.

Deferred Tax Asset

Tax amounted to SEK 0.6 million (SEK -5.7 million) during the January-December 2013 period, of which SEK 5.4 million of the difference is explained by the change in the Swedish corporate tax rate from 26.3% to 22% as of 1 January 2013, SEK 0.8 million is explained by the increase of the deferred tax asset that was made during the first quarter 2013 and SEK 0.1 million is tax in China. The estimated future taxable profit and deferred tax asset calculation is reassessed every quarter. As of 31 December 2013, SEK 128.5 million (SEK 125.1 million) of SinterCast's total carried-forward tax losses have been used as the basis of the updated calculation, resulting in SEK 28.3 million (SEK 27.5 million) being capitalised as a deferred tax asset. The main uncertainty factor for SinterCast continues to be the timing of the CGI market ramp-up. This is the main reason not to increase the estimated carried-forward tax at this time.

Employee Stock Option Programme

As of 31 December 2013, the total cost of the employee stock option programme 2009-2013 was SEK 3.5 million (SEK 2.9 million). During 2013, SEK 0.8 million (SEK 0.4 million) was accounted for as IFRS-2 and social costs related to the option programme. The final tranche of the options in the employee stock option

programme 2009-2013 was exercised during the fourth quarter. The employees exercised 114,480 warrants at the subscription price of SEK 50.34 and a total amount of SEK 5.8 million was paid to the Company. The increase of the equity and cash was SEK 5.6 million, after expenses and fees related to the exercise of the options.

Cashflow, Liquidity and Investments

Cashflow Summary October-December January- December
(Amounts in SEK million if not otherwise stated) 2013 2012 2013 2012
Cashflow from operations 7.6 1.8 14.4 1.3
Cashflow from investment activities -0.1 -1.4 -0.6 -1.6
Cashflow from financing activities 5.6 - -1.4 -11.9
Cashflow total 13.1 0.4 12.4 -12.2
Liquidity 47.8 35.4 47.8 35.4

The October-December 2013 cashflow from operations was SEK 7.6 million (SEK 1.8 million). The SEK 5.8 million increase in cashflow was primarily related to increased operating liabilities (SEK 4.6 million) linked to accrued social tax and income tax cost (SEK 2.1 million), payable in January 2014, related to the employee stock option programme 2009-2013 and to other accrued personnel expenses.

Cashflow from financing activities increased by SEK 5.6 million calculated from net contribution from the new share issue in conjunction with the exercise of the employee stock option programme 2009-2013, resulting in a total cashflow result of SEK 13.1 million (SEK 0.4 million), after investments of SEK 0.1 million (SEK 1.4 million).

The January-December 2013 cashflow from operations was SEK 14.4 million (SEK 1.3 million). The increased cashflow of SEK 13.1 million was primarily linked to the operations before change in working capital (SEK 4.6 million) and due to change in working capital (SEK 8.5 million), of which SEK 6.9 million was related to increased operating liabilities.

Cashflow from financial activities was SEK -1.4 million, as a result of the new share issue in the amount of SEK 5.6 million, less the dividend that was paid to shareholders in the amount of SEK 7.0 million (SEK 11.9 million). The total cashflow result for the period was SEK 12.4 million (SEK -12.2 million), resulting in SEK 47.8 million (SEK 35.4 million) in liquidity on 31 December 2013. Investments amounted to SEK 0.6 million (SEK 1.6 million).

Risks and Uncertainty Factors

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 products, the global economy for new vehicle sales, and the individual sales success of vehicles equipped with SinterCast-CGI components. The European and Asian economies continue to be uncertain and this may impact passenger vehicle and commercial vehicle sales. SinterCast's diversification between V-diesel engines for passenger vehicles, commercial vehicle engines, exhaust components, industrial power engines and most recently, the first high volume CGI petrol engine launch, combined with its presence in Europe, Asia and the Americas, reduces the dependence on individual product applications and geographical regions.

SinterCast enjoys global brand recognition and respect as the CGI technology leader and is welcomed by the industry as a reliable and trustworthy partner. However, virtually every company encounters competition, and SinterCast is no exception. SinterCast judges that its technology and engineering know-how provides the most reliable and cost-effective solution for series production of high quality CGI.

New powertrain technologies, such as vehicle electrification (hybrid and plug-in vehicles) and fuel cells attract significant media attention; however, the development and implementation of these technologies remain a long-term prospect and SinterCast does not expect these technologies to have a significant effect on the Company's competitive position for the foreseeable future.

For full risk and uncertainty factor information, please see note 26 on p.42 in SinterCast's Annual Report 2012
