Welcome note from the Executive Board

Dear Shareholders,

In the first half of 2021, economic and social life reopened in many places thanks to increasing vaccination and testing capacities, and the world economy at least partially recovered from its slump in the previous year. The major automotive markets also expanded significantly in the first half of 2021, recording doubledigit growth rates in some cases. However, it must be noted that this is relative to the crisis-hit prior-year figures, and the markets have yet to return to pre-crisis levels.

Against this backdrop, our order intake, which secures manufacturers' production capacities in one to two years, again enjoyed a very positive development in the second quarter of 2021. In other words, we are building on our successful performance in the first quarter and are delighted that innovative automation solutions made by Aumann are enjoying strong demand again. Aumann reached a book-to-bill ratio of 1.43 in the first half of 2021. We expect that revenue will increasingly reflect this positive order intake trend over the coming quarters.

Demand is currently particularly high for our new production solutions in the area of energy storage, in which we won some technologically forward-looking and strategic orders in the first half of the year. These range from exciting small-series orders, in areas such as fuel cell production, through to major orders, e.g. in the area of battery pack assembly. Order intake in the E-mobility segment increased significantly by 79.3% to €75.0 million in the first half of the year, thereby accounting for 72.1% of the total order intake.

The transition to E-mobility is currently accelerating at a rapid pace, not least in response to the further tightening of European emissions standards in the previous year. International car manufacturers are outdoing each other when it comes to their plans for vehicle electrification. Many of them are looking to electrify the majority of their fleet by the end of the decade at the latest, and in some cases by as early as 2025. The growing range of electric cars, government incentives and the accelerated expansion of the charging infrastructure are increasingly feeding consumer interest in E-mobility.

Achieving these ambitious targets for electric vehicles will require the groundwork to be laid over the coming quarters and the necessary investments of the car manufacturers to be initiated. Aumann will benefit from this as an important development partner for the automotive industry and thanks to its technology portfolio, long-standing customer relationships and pronounced innovation spirit. In conjunction with our more flexible company structures, a liquidity position that has increased to €94.4 million and a healthy equity ratio of 64.8%, we believe we are very well positioned to enjoy further business growth and achieve our targets for the year.

Sincerely,

Sebastian Roll Jan-Henrik Pollitt Rolf Beckhoff

Interim Group management report

Description of the business model

Aumann is a world-leading manufacturer of innovative speciality machinery and automated production lines with a focus on E-mobility. With its German sites in Beelen, Espelkamp and Limbach-Oberfrohna in Europe, the Chinese company in Changzhou and a site in Clayton in the US, the Aumann Group has five locations in its three most important markets. The entire automotive industry is undergoing a continuous transformation that is taking it away from the complex mechanical drive concept centred on the combustion engine towards a significantly more streamlined electric drive concept. Accordingly, Aumann geared its strategy and its portfolio towards the needs of the E-mobility megatrend a number of years ago. Aumann's product solutions enable the highly efficient and technologically advanced series production of a wide range of components and modules, including electric traction modules, power-on-demand units, energy storage and conversion systems (batteries and fuel cells), auxiliary motors, and electronic components for sensor and control applications.

Business and economic conditions

As previously, the start of the 2021 financial year was dominated by the dynamic development of the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting containment measures, as well as their impact on business activity in the corporate sector. Growing vaccination and testing capacity led to the reopening of private and, in particular, business life in many places during the first half of the year. Although economic risks have increased lately in connection with the spread of COVID-19 mutations and the impact of supply bottlenecks on industrial activity, the forecasts for 2021 and 2022 largely anticipate a sharp upturn in global economic output.

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) is forecasting growth in global economic output of 6.0% this year and 4.9% in 2022. While the IMF recently upgraded its outlook for the industrialized nations further – growth of 5.6% is expected for 2021, which is 0.5 percentage points higher than previously stated – the growth forecast for 2021 for the developing and emerging economies has been scaled back by 0.4 percentage points to 6.3%. The IMF puts this contrasting development down to the regional differences in access to coronavirus vaccines.

Market development

Having been particularly hard hit by the unprecedented economic slump in the previous year, the auto sector has enjoyed a substantial recovery in the year to date. Some of the major sales markets in the automotive industry recorded comfortably double-digit growth rates in the first half of 2021, with registrations of electric cars seeing triple-digit rates. Conventional drive cars at least are yet to recapture their pre-crisis level.

The total number of newly registered cars on the European market jumped by 27.1% to 6.5 million units in the first six months of the year, yet, this remains down around a quarter on the comparative figure for the pre-crisis year of 2019. In the US, sales of cars and light trucks (light vehicles) increased by 29.3% to around 8.3 million units in the first half of 2021. New vehicle sales in China rose by 27.3% to 9.8 million cars. The figures for the US and China almost reached the levels of the first half of the pre-crisis year 2019.

The industrial sector as a whole also recovered from the dramatic slump in orders in the previous year. The members of the German Mechanical Engineering Industry Association (VDMA) serve to illustrate the pent-up demand that was tapped in the first half of 2021. Partly, growth was also generated above this, resulting in an order intake in the first half of 2021 that was 29% higher than in the same period of the previous year. However, the forecast for 2021 as a whole remains lower than the current growth rate, as the shortage of primary products resulting from the coronavirus is putting a damper on companies' production plans. Nevertheless, the VDMA is maintaining its forecast of production growth of 10% across the year.

Financial position and financial performance

The consolidated revenue of the Aumann Group declined by 14.1% to €72.8 million (previous year: €84.7 million).

EBITDA amounted to €-0.9 million as at the end of June (previous year: €-4.0 million). After depreciation and amortisation of €2.3 million, the Aumann Group's EBIT amounted to €-3.2 million (previous year: €- 6.8 million). The financial result for the first six months was €-0.3 million, resulting in EBT of €-3.5 million (previous year: €-7.2 million). Consolidated net profit in the first half of 2021 amounted to €-2.6 million (previous year: €-5.1 million) or €-0.17 per share (based on an average of 15,250,000 shares outstanding).

Order intake totalled €104.1 million as at the end of June. Orders of €0.5 million were cancelled over this period. The order backlog was €134.4 million in the first half of the year.

The Group's equity amounted to €187.1 million on 30 June 2021 (31 December 2020: €186.3 million). Based on total consolidated assets of €288.9 million, the equity ratio was 64.8%.

Working capital has increased by €5.9 million since 31 December 2020.

Financial liabilities, in comparison to 31 December 2020 (€17.1 million), declined by €3.3 million to €14.9 million. Liquidity, including securities, totalled €94.4 million (31 December 2020: €90.2 million). Accordingly, net cash from the above liabilities and cash items amounted to €79.5 million as against €73.1 million on 31 December 2020.

Segment performance

Given their different market prospects, Aumann differentiates between the E-mobility and Classic segments, which are described in more detail below.

In its E-mobility segment, Aumann predominantly manufactures speciality machinery and automated production lines with a focus on the automotive industry. Aumann's offering enables customers to carry out the highly efficient and technologically advanced mass production of a wide range of electric powertrain components and modules – from e-traction engines, drive and transmission components and power-ondemand units to various energy storage systems, including fuel cells, and electronic components. Aumann has a particular strategic focus on production lines for electric motor components and their assembly, which enable series production thanks to product solutions featuring innovative and efficient process flows. Aumann applies highly specialised and, in some cases, unique winding and assembly technologies with which copper wire is introduced into electric components. Another key strategic area is highly automated production lines for the production of energy storage systems. Aumann continued to realise highend production and assembly solutions with its customers in this area in the current financial year. Wellknown customers from the automotive industry use Aumann technology for the series production of their latest generations of e-traction engines, energy storage systems and electric auxiliary motors in the highest quality.

Revenue in the E-mobility segment contracted by 16.4% year-on-year to €46.0 million as at 30 June 2021. Segment EBITDA amounted to €-1.2 million after the first six months (previous year: €-1.3 million). EBIT totalled €-2.6 million (previous year: €-3.2 million). Order intake in the E-mobility segment totalled €75.0 million.

In the Classic segment, Aumann mainly manufactures speciality machinery and automated production lines for the automotive, consumer electronics, appliances and industry sectors. Aumann's solutions include systems for the production of drive components that reduce CO2 emissions from combustion engine vehicles. Aumann also offers highly automated manufacturing and assembly solutions to additional sectors like for the consumer electronics and appliances industries.

Revenue in the Classic segment amounted to €26.8 million in the first two quarters (previous year: €29.7 million). Segment EBITDA amounted to €-0.6 million as against the prior-year figure of €-2.9 million. EBIT totalled €-1.3 million (previous year: €-3.7 million). Order intake in the Classic segment amounted to €29.1 million.

Employees

Not including temporary employees or trainees, the number of employees was 850 as at 30 June 2021.

Report on risks and opportunities

A detailed presentation of the company's risks and opportunities can be found in the 2020 annual report at www.aumann.com. There have been no fundamental changes in risks and opportunities since the publication of the 2020 annual report.

Regarding the development of the COVID-19 pandemic, there could be a severe negative impact on the financial position and financial performance of the Aumann Group as a result of the further spread of COVID-19 mutations in particular and depending on the duration, intensity and effectiveness of any containment measures taken.

According to current assessments, neither individual risks nor a combination/correlation of multiple risks would pose a threat to the Aumann Group as a going concern.

Aumann's risk management system is suitable for identifying risks early on and taking immediate action.

Report on expected developments

In light of the weak order intake in the previous year, management continues to forecast revenue of €160 million with an EBITDA margin of between -2.5% and +2.5% in the 2021 financial year. Given the market recovery in the first half of 2021, management expects the order intake for the 2021 financial year to improve compared with the previous year.
