Componenta Corporation's Half-year Financial Report 1 January–30 June 2022

Net sales increased and EBITDA improved

January–June 2022

  • Net sales increased to EUR 54.4 million (EUR 43.5 million).
  • EBITDA improved to EUR 3.8 million (EUR 3.3 million).
  • Operating result was EUR 1.0 million (EUR 0.4 million).
  • Cash flow from operating activities was EUR 2.1 million (EUR 4.3 million).

April–June 2022

  • Net sales increased to EUR 28.9 million (EUR 23.1 million).
  • EBITDA improved to EUR 2.4 million (EUR 1.8 million).
  • Operating result was EUR 1.0 million (EUR 0.3 million).
  • Cash flow from operating activities was EUR 2.0 million (EUR 3.4 million).

The information presented in this half-year financial report concerns Componenta Group's performance in January–June 2022 and in the corresponding period of 2021, unless otherwise stated. Componenta has foundries in Pori and Karkkila, Finland, and metal product plants in Jyväskylä, Härmä, Kurikka, Leppävesi and Sastamala, Finland. The Group also includes real estate companies of minor importance in Finland. All Componenta Group's restructuring programmes were completed in 2021.

Sami Sivuranta, President and CEO:

"We managed well in an challenging operating environment during the first half of the year. Our net sales, EBITDA and market share continued to grow in line with our targets, and we are pleased with the result. Our liquidity remained in a good level throughout the review period.

Our profitability during the review period was burdened somewhat by the exceptional price development of raw materials, materials and energy, which has significantly increased our manufacturing costs. In terms of our main raw materials and electricity, the cost development is largely tied to our customer agreements through indices, which are reflected in our sales prices with a delay. We have also separately agreed with our customers on compensation for cost increases in material prices not tied to any indices. These price agreements entered into force during the second quarter.

In addition, quality and productivity challenges at the Karkkila foundry affected our profitability to some extent. In our Karkkila unit, the recovery in demand and very good success in new sales have led to an exceptionally rapid growth in production volumes. This has generated special needs and challenges both, in terms of increasing resources in the workforce and in terms of rapidly increased technical process capacity. However, our activities to remedy the situation in Karkkila are progressing according to plan.

Our half-year result was also burdened by costs of EUR 0.3 million in the first quarter related to an acquisition that was not realized.

The prolonged crisis in Eastern Europe has increased challenges in the availability of materials and cost development. Componenta has no operations of its own in Russia or Ukraine. The direct impacts through our customers' and suppliers' business operations have been minor, as have the indirect impacts of the crisis for the time being. We are actively monitoring developments in our business environment and

Half-year Financial Report 1 January–30 June 2022


seeking to ensure the availability of raw materials in all situations and circumstances.

Componenta's delivery capability has remained good throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. In our own operations, we have successfully managed our supply chain and secured our production and deliveries to customers. Our entire personnel have shown flexibility in maintaining our production and delivery reliability during these challenging times.

Our customers' forecasts and expectations have remained generally positive throughout the review period, and our order book was very strong at the end of the review period.

The circular economy plays a significant role in Componenta's production processes. We are committed to provide our customers high-quality and responsibly produced components. Our production operations are located close to our key customers, and we are able to respond quickly and flexibly to changes in the global market at the local level.

We will actively continue our efforts to strengthen our market position and further improve our profitability as part of our growth strategy. In addition, we are focusing on our service capability, close customer relationships, sustainability and highly competent personnel, as well as on expanding our offering. We are investing in close partnerships with our customers, aiming to be their preferred supplier with a sustainable and extensive offering."

Componenta's guidance for 2022 remains unchanged

Componenta expects the Group's net sales to be EUR 90-105 million in 2022. EBITDA is expected to improve from the previous year. The Group's net sales in 2021 were EUR 87.3 million, and its EBITDA was EUR 5.0 million.

Potential poor availability of raw materials, increases in the prices of raw materials and energy, the general economic situation and competitive climate, and the development of customers' sales volumes may affect business outlooks. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the crisis in Ukraine, the development of sales and profitability involves uncertainties and

poor predictability. An unfavourable development of the geopolitical situation related to Russia and Ukraine can have a negative impact on the financial market, sales volumes, the availability and price development of raw materials and energy and the availability of foreign labour, which increases uncertainty in terms of forecasts.

Order book

Componenta's order book at the end of June 2022 was EUR 13.4 million (EUR 12.0 million). The order book contains the orders confirmed to customers for the next two months.

Net sales

Componenta's net sales increased by 25.2% from the previous year to EUR 54.4 million (EUR 43.5 million). Net sales were divided between customer industries as follows: machine building 48% (44%), agricultural machinery 30% (27%), forest machinery 7% (8%), the energy industry 8% (8%), the defence equipment industry 1% (6%) and other industries 6% (7%). The decrease in the share of the defence equipment industry is a result of investments in machinery and equipment that were implemented during the review period.

Result

The Group's EBITDA increased from the previous year, amounting to EUR 3.8 million (EUR 3.3 million). Its profitability improved as a result of higher sales volumes and systematic development measures. Productivity in the review period was burdened somewhat by quality and productivity challenges at the Karkkila foundry and by non-recurring advisory costs of EUR 0.3 million in the first quarter related to an acquisition that was not realized. In addition, the rising trend in the purchase prices of materials and the price of electricity had a negative impact on profitability. Most of the increases in purchase prices and the price of electricity will be reflected in sales prices with a delay in line with the index terms included in customer agreements. In the comparison period, profitability was also improved by a one-time payment of EUR 0.1 million from the bankruptcy estate of Componenta BV, a former subsidiary, for receivables that had been previously written down.

Half-year Financial Report 1 January-30 June 2022


The Group's operating result increased from the previous year, amounting to EUR 1.0 million (EUR 0.4 million). The Group's net financial items totalled EUR -0.7 million (EUR -0.1 million). Net financial items in the comparison period include EUR 0.7 million in financial income that was realised when the parent company's restructuring debt of EUR 6.6 million was repaid at EUR 5.9 million.

The Group's result after financial items was EUR 0.3 million (EUR 0.2 million). Taxes in the review period totalled EUR 0.1 million (EUR 0.0 million). In the review period, the tax income consisted of a change in deferred tax liabilities. The Group's net result for the period was EUR 0.4 million (EUR 0.1 million). Basic earnings per share were EUR 0.04 (EUR 0.02) for the review period.

Balance sheet, financing and cash flow

At the end of the review period, the Group's invested capital stood at EUR 35.0 million (EUR 37.4 million), and the return on investment was 6.0% (5.5%). The return on equity was 3.5% (1.2%). The Group's equity ratio stood at 41.6% (39.1%) at the end of the review period. The improvement in the equity ratio was mainly due to the early repayment of Componenta Corporation's and Componenta Castings Oy's restructuring debt in 2021. The Group's equity was EUR 24.0 million (EUR 24.1 million). Its net gearing stood at 24.7% (5.2%) at the end of the review period. In the comparison period, net gearing was exceptionally low due to the liquid assets raised through a share issue at the end of 2020. In addition, only the

interest-bearing debt included in the restructuring debt was considered in the calculation of the net gearing ratio.

Componenta Group's total liabilities on 30 June 2022 stood at EUR 33.6 million (EUR 37.6 million). The significant change from the comparison period resulted from the early repayment of the restructuring debt in 2021. Long-term liabilities amounted to EUR 9.5 million (EUR 14.0 million), and short-term liabilities totalled EUR 24.1 million (EUR 23.6 million). The Group's liabilities included EUR 2.1 million (EUR 3.9 million) in loans from financial institutions. The Group's other debt items mainly consisted of working capital items and lease liabilities. The long-term and short-term liabilities also included EUR 1.3 million (EUR 3.5 million) in payment relief granted by the

Half-year Financial Report 1 January–30 June 2022


Tax Administration due to the COVID-19 pandemic on obligations that must be paid in accordance with separate payment schedules by 22 August 2023. The annual interest on the payment relief is 2.5%.

At the end of the review period, the Group's cash at bank and in hand totalled EUR 5.1 million (EUR 12.0 million). The funds of EUR 9.5 million raised through a rights issue improved liquidity at the end of the comparison period. These funds were used to repay restructuring debt during the 2021 financial year. The Group's liquidity remained at a good level in the review period. The Group had EUR 4.0 million in unused binding revolving credit facilities at the end of the review period. These are valid until November 2023. In addition, Componenta has access to a share subscription facility of USD 8 million.

The Group's net cash flow from operations in the review period was EUR 2.1 million (EUR 4.3 million). The change in cash flow is mainly due to seasonal fluctuation in working capital, which is typical for this line of business. The increase in working capital is also affected by the rising trend in the prices of materials and the fact that inventory levels are deliberately slightly higher than usual in case of weaker availability of raw materials. In addition, cash flow in 2022 has negatively affected by payments of EUR 0.7 million made in accordance with the payment schedule for the relief granted by the Tax Administration in 2020-2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Investoinnit

The Group's capital expenditure totalled EUR 0.8 million (EUR 1.0 million), including EUR 0.1 million (EUR 0.2 million) in lease liabilities recognised on the balance sheet. The Group's net cash from investing activities was EUR -0.7 million (EUR -0.7 million), which includes the Group's cash flow from capital expenditure in tangible and intangible assets.

Research and development activities

Componenta has no research and development costs because Componenta engages in contract manufacturing operations and has no products of its own.

Personnel

The Group's average number of personnel during the review period was 581 (559), or 634 (586) including leased employees. The Group's average number of personnel at the end of the review period was 587 (566), or 644 (596) including leased employees.

Risks and business-related uncertainties

The most significant risks related to Componenta's business operations are risks associated with the operating environment (competitive situation, prices, commodities and the environment), risks related to business operations (customers, suppliers, productivity, production, processes, labour market disruptions, contracts, product liability, personnel and information security) and financing risks (availability, liquidity, currency, interest rate and credit).

The availability of certain raw materials such as recycled steel, pig iron, structural steel, aluminium and energy at competitive prices is essential for the Group's business operations. The market prices for electricity remained at an exceptionally high level during the review period. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the recovery of the economy and the situation in Ukraine and Russia, uncertainties related to the availability of raw materials and other materials have increased in Componenta's operational activities. In addition, global challenges with the availability of certain components for customers may lead to production disruptions in our end customers' plants and thereby affect Componenta's sales volumes in the short term. To ensure the availability of raw materials and other materials, Componenta maintains active interaction with its suppliers, continuously updates its needs forecast and optimises its inventory levels to meet longer-term demand, closely monitors the situation of its suppliers and market changes and responds to these changes as necessary.

According to Componenta's estimate, the Group has no significant and immediate risk concentrations related to Russia and Ukraine among its customers or suppliers of goods. Componenta has no

Half-year Financial Report 1 January-30 June 2022

operations of its own in Russia or Ukraine. The war in Ukraine has had an impact on the general price development and availability of raw materials such as structural steel and pig iron. The war in Ukraine has had an indirect impact on the supply chains of Componenta's manufacturers of steel materials and wholesalers through the price development and availability of iron ore and coal, for example. A prolonged war in Ukraine can continue to have a negative impact on the financial market, sales volumes, the availability and price development of raw materials and energy and the availability of foreign labour, which increases uncertainty in terms of forecasts.

The cost risk associated with raw materials is mainly managed with price agreements to adjust product prices in accordance with changes in the general index of raw material prices. An increase in raw material prices may tie more cash than expected to working capital. In terms of commercial risks, future volumes may be weakened by customers switching to cheaper alternatives due to price competition.

Componenta is continuously monitoring the liquidity risk. Componenta's current revolving credit facilities will need to be renewed in November 2023. The Group also finances its operations through factoring arrangements for receivables. Any termination or non-renewal of factoring arrangements or revolving credit facilities can create uncertainties for Componenta's liquidity and going concern. However, these uncertainties can be mitigated, and it is the management's estimate that the future financing of operations does not involve significant uncertainties. This is discussed in more detail under "Accounting principles requiring management judgement".

The Group's liquidity was at a good level at the end of the review period. In addition, at the end of the review period, Componenta had EUR 4.0 million in unused binding revolving credit facilities and a share subscription facility of USD 8.0 million from GCF, an investor based in the United States. All Componenta Group's restructuring programmes were completed in 2021.

Flagging notifications

Componenta received no flagging notifications during the review period.

Half-year financial report tables

Accounting principles

Componenta Corporation's half-year financial report for January–June 2022 has been prepared in line with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting, and should be read in conjunction with Componenta's financial statements for 2021, published on 16 March 2022. Componenta has applied the same accounting principles to its half-year financial report as it applied to its 2021 financial statements. The half-year financial report is unaudited.

Accounting principles requiring the management's judgement

When preparing the half-year financial report in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards, the management needs to make estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The estimates and assumptions that involve a significant risk of material changes in the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities during the next 12 months are presented below.

When preparing Componenta's half-year financial report, the management has used significant judgement when making assumptions about the company's ability to continue as a going concern. Uncertainties and risks are related to the going concern, but these can be mitigated at the management's discretion. Therefore, the going concern is not subject to any significant uncertainty in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards. The 2022 half-year financial report has been prepared based on the principle of going concern. When assessing the going concern principle, Componenta's management has considered the following aspects: During the 2020 financial year,

Componenta strengthened its sales operating model and sales resources for 2020–2022. Consequently, new deals were made during 2020–2022, which has been reflected in an increase in net sales. On 21 June 2021, Componenta entered into a three-year agreement on a share subscription facility of up to USD 8 million with Global Corporate Finance LLC, a company based in New York in the United States. The facility supports the company's financing for the next three years, enabling the company to focus on achieving its growth and profitability targets for the coming years. Componenta's unused euro-denominated revolving credit facilities of EUR 4.0 million will continue to be valid until 30 November 2023. This concerns both Componenta Manufacturing Oy and Componenta Castings Oy. It is the company's view that the Group also has access to debt financing from the market if necessary. The management has analysed the companies' cash flow forecasts for the next 12 months in accordance with various scenarios. To adjust its costs, Componenta has adjusted its operations through temporary layoffs when necessary due to changes in the order backlog.

In addition to assessing the going concern, the management has made other significant estimates and assumptions in determining the valuation of assets in the review period, such as investment properties, goodwill, tangible and intangible assets and inventories, as well as the realizability of deferred tax receivables and contingent liabilities. The management has also assessed trade receivables in terms of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the war in Ukraine. The management has assessed the situation in terms of both the company's own industry and the overall economic situation. The assessment did not have a material impact on the credit loss provision at the end of the

Half-year Financial Report 1 January–30 June 2022


review period. Componenta regularly updates its credit loss provision. Componenta is continuously assessing the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the war in Ukraine on its financial reporting. Componenta closely monitors market development and its customers' situation and adjusts its operations accordingly.

The management has also assessed the recoverable amounts of assets and concluded that there are no indications of impairment, and that there is no need to write down assets. These estimates and assumptions involve risks and uncertainty, and it is therefore possible that these forecasts will change when the circumstances change or the pandemic or the war in Ukraine continues further, which may affect the recoverable amount of assets. More information about annual impairment testing is provided in the notes to the 2021 financial statements.

In addition, the management's judgement has been applied to determining the balance sheet value of a piece of equipment acquired by Componenta Manufacturing Oy and the related liability. The valuation of the asset and the financial liability at the end of the review period has been affected by an estimate of the operating hours of the equipment over the next 10 years, and by the effective interest method.

At the end of the review period, other liabilities under other non-interest-bearing liabilities included EUR 1.3 million in tax liabilities, for which the Tax Administration has granted a payment relief. In accordance with the payment relief, the company must pay the tax liability in equal instalments so that it will be fully repaid by August 2023. An interest rate of 2.5% applies to the debt covered by the payment relief.

The fair values of financial assets and liabilities are materially similar to their carrying amounts.

The Group's financial assets are initially classified in the following categories: assets measured at amortised cost, at fair value through profit and loss or at fair value through other comprehensive income. When assessing the expected impairment for financial assets measured at amortised cost, the expected credit losses are measured and recognised based on aging classification. Financial liabilities are classified in the following categories: financial liabilities at fair value through profit and loss, lease liabilities and financial liabilities at amortised cost.

Componenta has also assessed the impact of the COVID-19-pandemic, war in Ukraine and the rise in

interest rates regarding the most significant financial risks. The factors in question are not estimated to have a significant effect to Componenta's financial risks.

Loans are initially recognised at fair value and valued thereafter at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. Substantial transaction costs are taken into account when calculating the acquisition cost.

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand and cash in bank accounts as well as short-term bank deposits.

The Group does not have derivative financial instruments on which hedge accounting would be applied.

Componenta Corporation owns 3.6% of the shares of Majakka Voima Oy. Majakka Voima Oy owns Voimaosakeyhtiö SF's shares. Voimaosakeyhtiö SF is the main owner of Fennovoima Oy. Componenta has not participated in further funding of Majakka Voima Oy after 2013 and has fulfilled its obligations towards Majakka Voima Oy. Componenta has written down Majakka Voima Oy's shares in its accounting completely in 2016. Voimaosakeyhtiö

SF and some of its shareholders have approached Majakka Voima Oy with claims based on Voimaosakeyhtiö SF's shareholder agreement and related financial commitments. According to Componenta's assessment, it is unlikely that there are significant financial consequences to Componenta, as a result of which Componenta's figures for the review period do not include provisions or contingent liabilities related to this matter.
