Data center
Data center revenue and margin development reflect sub-scale nature of HPC market

Full-year loss of about \$5 million expected from the HPC business
Sharpened focus on long-term general data center market potential

- Exiting HPC segment due to limited revenue potential and substantial drain of resources required to stay competitive
- ‒ Will continue to meet HPC customer demand from current product portfolio for some time
- ‒ \$1.7 million of write downs of various assets and other nonrecurring costs included in Q3 accounts
- Refocusing aimed reducing cash burn and improve profitability while developing a viable general data center business capitalizing on existing technology and long-term investments
- Green data center legislation is the main trigger for opening the market over time
- ‒ Public attention to the sustainability benefits offered by liquid cooling is increasing
"Hot water from Google may be wasted (..) The planned Google data center could provide heating to 350,000 apartments. But there is no plan to utilize the excess heat from the monster-plant" - NRK.no Oct. 19

EU supports use of liquid cooling to cut data center CO2 emissions and enable circular economy
- The EU Commission's July 2021 Energy Efficiency Directive proposal requires the reuse of waste heat generated in data centers
- EU seeks to neutralize CO2 emissions and preserve and reuse precious resources from rapidly growing data center activity through adoption of circular infrastructure
- Asetek's Direct-to-chip liquid cooling enables power savings and CO2 emission reductions by enabling direct reuse of the waste heat at 60-65 centigrade in district heating systems without using power consuming heat-pumps
- It is one of the most impactful technologies available to address these issues and meets EU's requirements for "minimal ancillary energy inputs"
- Preparing for increased long-term demand associated with this potential legislation


Update data center strategic development
Maintain Data center position and create a sustainable and profitable business over time
Goal
• Influence the influencers and support adoption of latest EU proposals into legislation for climate gains from reusing waste heat on the way towards carbon neutrality
Strategy
• Leverage existing technology and investments to gain position in the general Data center segment
Development and Outlook
- Global sustainability agenda strengthens rationale for Asetek's data center solution over times
- Positive impact from direct engagement with the EU with current "Green Deal" proposals favoring liquid cooling
- Market adoption of liquid cooling will remain slow until adoption of the proposed Green Deal legislation has been decided
- Prepared and positioned for a potential shift in demand driven by adoption of the proposed legislation
- Sharpening Data center business segment and stop investments in HPC niche to improve profitability
- General Data center business segment to be main priority going forward
