Press Release: 19 August 2009

SinterCast Results April-June 2009

  • Revenue for period: SEK 5.3 million (SEK 6.0 million). Year-to-date: SEK 9.3 million (SEK 11.4 million)
  • Operating result: SEK -1.0 million (SEK -1.9 million). Year-to-date: SEK -3.7 million (SEK -4.1 million)
  • Earning/share: SEK 0.4 per share (SEK -0.1 per share). Year-to-date: SEK -2.1 per share (SEK 3.3 per share)
  • Cashflow: SEK -0.3 million (SEK -1.5 million). Year-to-date: SEK 0.1 million (SEK -4.6 million)
  • Events after balance sheet date: New rights issue and option programme proposed to Extraordinary meeting
  • Series production increases at Dashiang Precision foundry in China as new products come on-stream
  • First ever SinterCast-CGI production trial in India to begin during August at the DCM Engineering foundry

Second quarter volumes indicate that series production has stabilised. Opportunities remain for new installation revenue and series production announcements during the second half of 2009

Current Production and Outlook

Series production for the second quarter ran at an annualised rate of approximately 400,000 Engine Equivalents (20,000 tonnes). This volume is effectively the same as the first quarter of 2009 and provides an indication that the underlying automotive demand has stabilised. The production volume during the first half of 2009 is down from the fourth quarter 2008 level of 625,000 Engine Equivalents (31,250 tonnes), but this decrease directly parallels the overall reductions in the wider automotive industry and is not indicative of any specific reductions related to the SinterCast technology or to CGI. Although the production seems to have stabilised, the Company judges that it is prudent not to anticipate any significant recovery in automotive sales during the balance of 2009, or indeed through much of 2010. Any near-term increases in the production volume would therefore primarily depend upon the start of production of new SinterCast-CGI products rather than a recovery of existing programmes.

During the period, a Mini-System 2000 process control system was installed at the Luitpoldhütte foundry in Germany. Luitpoldhütte is a global leader in the production of complex heavy section iron castings for the agriculture, offhighway, construction and industrial power sectors, and a member of the international Concern Tractor Plants (CTP) group. The long-term technology supply agreement with Luitpoldhütte broadens SinterCast's footprint in the German foundry industry and significantly improves SinterCast's ability to supply the CGI needs of the off-road sector. The second quarter also resulted in a further hardware upgrade/expansion at the Tupy foundry in Brazil, in anticipation of increased CGI production activities. Coupled with revenue received from the intensified trial activities earlier in the year, the Luitpoldhütte installation and the Tupy expansion resulted in an effectively neutral cashflow result for the second quarter, amounting to SEK -0.3 million.

Despite the economic downturn, several positive developments are underway in the market. In China, production of exhaust components at the Dashiang Precision foundry has increased as new CGI products have successfully come on-stream and ramped-up. SinterCast is also scheduled to begin its first ever CGI production trial in India during August, at the DCM Engineering foundry, the largest independent cylinder block foundry in India. SinterCast-CGI prototype components will be cast for several OEMs in the domestic market. Also, following a delay of several months, it is expected that the extended production trial that was initiated during 2008 will resume during the third quarter. SinterCast continues to support ongoing discussions for new installations and remains optimistic for additional installation revenue during the second half of 2009. The Company also anticipates the launch of the first SinterCast-CGI V-diesel engine for the North American passenger vehicle sector during the second half of the year.

Internally, the development of the new System 3000 process control system is proceeding according to schedule and is planned for market launch during the autumn. The System 3000 incorporates a suite of comprehensive advances in the functionality of the hardware, software and the consumable Sampling Cup.

Based on the apparent stabilisation of the current production programmes, and the expected market recovery during SinterCast's five year planning horizon, the five year outlook remains unchanged from the outlook published as of 31 March 2009. The current outlook is summarised as follows:

Financial Summary

Revenue

The revenue for the SinterCast Group relates primarily to income from equipment (sales and leases), series production and engineering service. During April-June 2009 revenue decreased by 12% compared to the same period 2008, to SEK 5.3 million (SEK 6.0 million). Series production revenue amounted to SEK 3.1 million, representing a 37% decrease compared to 2008. Equipment revenue for the period was SEK 1.7 million (SEK 0.6 million), primarily related to the Mini-System 2000 installation at the Luitpoldhütte foundry in Germany and the hardware upgrade/expansion at the Tupy foundry in Brazil.

During January-June, revenue decreased by 18 % to SEK 9.3 million (SEK 11.4 million). The decreased revenue for the period results mainly from the decreased series production among foundry customers. A total of 20,600 (27,500) Sampling Cups were sold during the period. Equipment revenue for January-June 2009 exceeded the equipment revenue for the same period during 2008.

Revenue Breakdown April-June January-June

    1. includes revenue from technical support, on-site trials and sales of test pieces

Result

The April-June 2009 operating result of SEK -1.0 million is SEK 0.9 million higher than the same period 2008, primarily affected by reduced gross margins of SEK -0.3 Million, cost reductions of SEK -0.7 million and income from capitalised development of SEK 0.5 million.

The result for the April-June 2009 period amounted to SEK 2.0 million (SEK -0.3 million), primarily related to the revaluation of the deferred tax asset, SEK 2.5 million.

The operating result for the January-June 2009 period amounted to SEK -3.7 million and is SEK 0.4 million higher than the same period 2008. The gross margin was reduced by SEK 1.6 million to SEK 5.7 million (SEK 7.3 million), which was compensated by cost reductions and by income from the capitalised development. The cost reductions are primarily related to salaries, travel and external consultants, stemming from the Company's pro-active liquidity protection plan.

The result for the period amounted to SEK -11.7 million (SEK 18.5 million), primarily related to the revaluation of the deferred tax asset, SEK -8.0 million.

(Amounts in SEK million if not otherwise stated)

Deferred Tax Asset

SinterCast calculates its estimated future taxable profit from secured production orders on a quarterly basis, in order to determine the valuation of its deferred tax asset. As of 31 December 2008, this calculation resulted in SEK 70.1 million, representing 11.8% of the Company's total carried-forward tax losses, being used as the basis of the deferred tax asset calculation. However, the global economic crisis has resulted in a reduced forecast of secured production orders, and a corresponding reduction of the carried-forward tax losses being taken into consideration. As of 30 June 2009, SEK 39.9 million (6.7%) of SinterCast's total carried-forward tax losses have been used as the basis of the updated calculation, resulting in SEK 10.5 million being capitalised as a deferred tax asset. The Company will continue to review its forecast on a quarterly basis, and to capitalise additional tax assets as new production orders are confirmed.

Deferred Tax Asset April-June January-June
2009 2008 2009 2008
Estimated future taxable profit 39.9 80.0 39.9 80.0

Tax result 2.5 1.4 -8.0 22.4

(Amounts in SEK million if not otherwise stated)

Employee Stock Option Programme

As of 30 June 2009, the cost of the existing 2006-2010 employee stock option programme was calculated at a total amount of SEK 3.2 million (SEK 4.3 million as of 30 June 2008), based on a closing share price of SEK 30.4 on 30 June 2009 (SEK 121). During 2009, SEK 0.5 million (SEK 0.8 million) was accounted for as costs related to the option programme. The Board of Directors has also proposed a new employee stock option programme, to be decided upon by an Extraordinary General meeting of the shareholders on 20 August 2009. In the event that the proposed new option programme is approved, all employees will automatically forfeit any options held in the 2006-2010 programme, such that there will only be one active programme at the outset of the proposed new option programme.

Cashflow, Liquidity and Investments

The April-June 2009 cashflow result was SEK -0.3 million (SEK -1.5 million), providing a Group liquidity of SEK 9.1 million on 30 June 2009 (SEK 11.7 million). The January-June 2009 cashflow result was SEK 0.1 million (SEK -4.6 million). The liquidity was primarily affected by a bank loan received from Sörmlands Sparbank in the amount of 3.0 MSEK million, an operational loss of SEK -2.8 million (SEK -3.0 Million) and a decrease in working capital of SEK 0.6 million (SEK -1.6 Million). The bank loan is conditional and will be reviewed during December 2009. Investments during the period amounted to SEK 0.7 million (SEK 0.0 million).

Risks and Uncertainty Factors; Global Economic Crisis

Market Development

The main uncertainty factor for SinterCast is the timing of the CGI market ramp-up, which primarily depends on the global economy for new vehicle sales and on the individual sales success of the vehicles equipped with SinterCast-CGI components. The economic conditions facing the global foundry and automotive industries have resulted in significant reductions in demand in both the passenger vehicle and commercial vehicle sectors, causing automotive OEMs to reduce production and, in some cases, delay production launches. The overall decline in the automotive market has resulted in a reduction of SinterCast's near-term market opportunity calculation from a peak of 5.7 million Engine Equivalents on 30 June 2008 to the current value of 4.1 million Engine Equivalents. This reduction of approximately 28% is less than the overall automotive market decline of 40~60% during the same period, primarily because the launch of new SinterCast-CGI components have provided incremental volumes. It is also noted that SinterCast's production of components other than automotive cylinder blocks and heads has not decreased as significantly as the core cylinder block and head sector, thus providing a compensating effect on the overall series production volume. While SinterCast continues to support new product development activities, and anticipates new production launches and installation revenue during 2009, the ultimate effect of the global economic recession cannot yet be fully quantified.

Liquidity

SinterCast regularly monitors its cash position with reference to market forecasts and expense budgets, and has implemented a pro-active liquidity protection plan that has included personnel reductions. While the Company believes that new installation opportunities can provide cash injections to reinforce the liquidity, and that new series production launches can provide a positive contribution to production volumes and revenues, the timing of the overall recovery in the automotive and foundry industries remains uncertain. The current series production volume of approximately 400,000 Engine Equivalents is insufficient to provide positive cashflow, resulting in a near-term cash burn outlook for the Company. As a result of the current series production level and the broader market uncertainty, and in consideration of the fact that SEK 3.0 million of the Company's current SEK 9.1 million liquidity is comprised of a bank loan that is due for review in December 2009, the Board of Directors has judged that it is in the best interest of the shareholders to proceed with a new rights issue at this time. The new rights issue, if approved by an Extraordinary General Meeting of the Shareholders on 20 August 2009, will ensure the long-term security of the Company and enable the Company to take offensive operational actions as the market recovers. On this basis, the Board of Directors has proposed a pre-emptive rights issue of shares and warrants that will generate SEK 23.1 million, prior to transaction costs.

Market Penetration and Competition

Virtually every company encounters competition, and SinterCast is no exception. However, based on SinterCast's pioneering and leading role in the development and application of CGI since the early 1990's, SinterCast enjoys global brand recognition and respect as the CGI technology leader and is welcomed by the industry as a reliable and trustworthy partner in the industry. As the CGI market has developed, some foundry supply companies have proposed alternative CGI technologies. To SinterCast's knowledge, these have included Hereaus-Electronite, OxyCast, OCC and NovaCast. It is also possible that some foundries may opt to produce CGI using in-house control and discipline, but this is generally judged to become less likely as product complexity and production volumes increase, and as specification requirements become more rigidly enforced by the end-users. SinterCast judges that it's technology and engineering know-how provides the most reliable and cost-effective solution for the production of high quality CGI. Based on its proven technology, production experience and engineering service, SinterCast will continue to support new CGI development activities to further increase its share of the world CGI cylinder block and head production capacity. With respect to the development of alternatives automotive technologies such as biofuels, hybrids and fuel cells, SinterCast does not expect these to have a significant effect on the Company's competitive position for the foreseeable future.

Review Report

We have reviewed this report for the period 1 January 2009 to 30 June 2009 for SinterCast AB. The board of directors and the CEO are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim report in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim report based on our review.

We conducted our review in accordance with the Swedish Standard on Review Engagements SÖG 2410, Review of Interim Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. A review consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Standards on Auditing in Sweden, RS, and other generally accepted auditing standards in Sweden. The procedures performed in a review do not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim report is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act, regarding the Group, and with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act, regarding the Parent Company.
