Key highlights of the Palas sale

Continuous interest from strategic as well as financial investors from day 1 after acquisition of Palas in 2018

Strong operational development of Palas under the roof of Brockhaus Technologies, doubling nearly all its financial KPIs

Strategic valuation of €100 million underlining the attractiveness of Palas as well as proving the fundamental value of Brockhaus Technologies

Targeted "Cash Compounding Modus" reached, after high value realization of €59 million at closing plus an additional earn-out of potentially up to €17 milllion

€ Forecast 2022 solely adjusted due to deconsolidation of Palas

High value realization through sale of Palas after successful further development under the roof of Brockhaus Technologies

Development since acquisition by BKHT in Dec. 2018 Value realization through sale of Palas

Almost doubling of revenues (~€12m to ~€21m), EBITDA (~€3m to ~€7m) and EBIT (~€3m to ~€6m) from 2018 to 2021

Successful international expansion with market entry and strong expansion in Asia

founding subsidiaries in Hong Kong and Shanghai as well as establishing a local team of ~10 employees

Setup of scalable structures for further growth e.g. by expanding the management

including hiring a CSO and CFO as well as establishing an advisory board consisting of industry experts from the BKHT network

Implementation of a targeted growth strategy into new markets and applications

e.g. in the unregulated market or through the proprietary-developed data platform for air quality monitoring my-atmosphere.net

Effect on group leverage

Indicative net debt ex Palas Highlights

Very conservative leverage ratio of indicative ~1.1x EBITDA 2021 (target value of ~2.5x)

High balance sheet quality underlining resilience of our business

  1. Retrospective reduction of adjusted EBITDA (pro-forma) by the contributions of Palas (IFRS 5). 2. Incl. deconsolidation of Palas net debt.

Palas' revenue, other income and cost contribution is to be excluded retrospectively from the P&L's line items (IFRS 5).

Both Palas' net income and the BKHT's net gain from the sale need to be presented as a separate line item "profit of discontinued operations".

The composition of that line item will be disclosed in detail in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Implication on or forecast

Effect on revenue forecast Comments

(Indicative depiction of revenue forecast 2022)

Forecast adjusted solely due to the deconsolidation of Palas.

Without the sale of Palas, the previous forecast would have still been valid.

With respect to the adjusted EBITDA margin Brockhaus Technologies confirms the previous forecast of 35%. This forecast remains unchanged because Palas' expected adjusted EBITDA margin for the full year of 35% corresponds to the group forecast.

Group forecast FY 2022 adjusted solely due to deconsolidation of Palas

Well on track building one of Germany's leading technology groups

Revenue before PPA

€130m - €135m

(2021: €105m | +24 to +28%) (Forecast pre Palas deconsolidation: €150m - 155m)
