CEO COMMENTS

CEO comments on the first quarter

Strong demand in EVSE at the same time as we see a challenging macro environment

CTEK continued to see a strong market climate in the first quarter in the Energy & Facilities and Original Equipment divisions, with higher demand than delivery capacity mainly due to the shortage of components and production challenges. In the Aftermarket division, which targets end consumers, market activity was generally more restrained after Russia's invasion of Ukraine. However, the direct impact of the invasion on CTEK is very minor, with the company previously having marginal sales to, and no own operations or other assets in, the region.

Financial performance

Net sales for the quarter increased 1 percent to SEK 237 million. EVSE sales accounted for 17 percent of the Group's sales compared with 11 percent last year. The Group's adjusted EBITA margin declined to 9.3 percent (28.7) and was impacted by disruptions to the supply chain, higher freight and component prices, investments made in the organisation and a changed sales mix. We decided to continue to raise prices in all divisions from 1 May to counteract a number of cost increases at various stages.

Challenging macro environment

Although our established relationships and strong local presence continue to offer stability in the prevailing circumstances as regards the supply of components and production, we are faced with new challenges every day. For example, we are being forced to swap components, make a larger number of purchases outside framework agreements, increase inventory levels and accept higher logistics costs in order to be able to receive materials and deliver products in time. In addition, the continuation of COVID restrictions with lockdowns in China have impacted production. This has, to a certain extent, also affected our partnership with General Motors (GM) and its EV "Ultium Chargers", and means that initial deliveries of the base variant will not take place until the very end of the current quarter, and the premium variant in the second half of the year. CTEK is a selected partner and the only supplier that has developed this customised EVSE platform together with GM.

NJORD GO, a smart and powerful portable charger for EVs and hybrid vehicles that was launched last year also noted higher demand than delivery capacity due to production and certification challenges. These are factors that we are gradually correcting. Meanwhile, we are very pleased about the reception from the market and aim to roll out NJORD GO to more and more geographic markets in the future.

Partnership with Polarium

In the first quarter, CTEK entered into a partnership with Polarium to develop sustainable energy storage for electric vehicle charging solutions, and do so easier for more users to charge electric vehicles in more locations. The expansion of electric car charging may currently be limited by both shortcomings in the capacity and stability of electricity networks. Battery energy storage can also feed from renewable sources like solar energy and thus help with the electricity supply. It also has the potential to provide 'vehicle-to-grid' (V2G) charging, where the EV and/or the battery is able

img-0.jpeg

to momentarily push energy back to the grid to meet sudden increases in demand, providing valuable support to the grid and to cover additional capacity needed.

Well-positioned

The long-term growth in our industry is driven by global electrification of the vehicle fleet, which was further intensified after the recent substantial increases in fuel prices. This also resulted in new discussions with a number of automobile manufacturers in the premium segment in terms of tomorrow's electrified vehicle fleet in our Original Equipment division to customise products and solutions to each individual company. Combined with the general climate debate and willingness both from politicians and from the business world to reduce the negative effects on the climate, the transition to more sustainable transportation is likely to accelerate further. We will continue our investments in the organisation to secure future growth, not least in product development and customer support and in connection with our marketing activities in more and more export markets, particularly in the EVSE segment. Together with an already very competitive product portfolio and strong trends that favour both us and our industry, CTEK is well-positioned for profitable growth over time.

Jon Lind, President and CEO

INTERIM REPORT JANUARY-MARCH 2022


CTEK IN BRIEF

CTEK in brief

CTEK is the largest global supplier of premium low-voltage chargers and a leading supplier of chargers, load balancing systems, backend solutions and EVSE products. The company is characterised by a strong innovation culture and works continuously to improve and develop new products to suit customer needs.

CTEK was founded in Vikmanshyttan in 1997 and has sales in more than 70 countries. With a history of innovation and technology leadership, the company meets new customer requirements by continuously developing its product offering and operations pro-actively. Based on its technology leadership, the company has established strong and long-standing customer relationships with more than 50 of the world's most prestigious automobile manufacturers. In addition to automobile manufacturers, the company also offers products to workshops, distributors, retailers, parking lots, charge point operators, property owners and consumers.

Vision

CTEK's vision is to be the leader in vehicle charging solutions.

Mission

To realise its vision, CTEK shall safe, easy-to-install and easy-to-use battery charging products for all types of vehicles, as well as complete charging solutions for electric vehicles.

Financial targets

The Board has set the following financial targets:

Sales growth

CTEK's target is to achieve SEK 2 billion in sales in the medium term with the majority stemming from EVSE products.

Profitability

CTEK's target is to achieve an adjusted EBITA margin of more than 25 percent in the medium term. Growth in the Energy & Facilities division may have an impact in the short term.

Capital structure

Net debt shall not amount to less than 3.0x last twelve months adjusted EBITDA. Strategic decisions such as acquisitions may have a temporary impact on the company's indebtedness.

Dividend policy

CTEK invests its resources in growth and business development. In addition, CTEK aims to pay a dividend corresponding to 30 percent of net earnings for the year.

CTEK'S sustainability efforts

Sustainability is a top priority for CTEK and permeates the whole business. The company has a clearly defined sustainability strategy with several tangible initiatives and targets that are monitored continuously. The sustainability strategy is based on environmental, social and corporate governance factors. The company also imposes sustainability requirements on its suppliers, for example, that key suppliers comply with the company's Code of Conduct. Extensive sustainability activities ensure that the company meets the increasingly strict sustainability

img-1.jpeg

requirements imposed by customers.

To reduce its environmental impact and contribute to a sustainable future, the company works on several well-defined and concrete initiatives. The initiatives are divided into three categories – environmental, social and corporate governance factors – which are cornerstones of the company's operations. The initiatives include a strong focus on innovative EVSE products, which supports electrification of the vehicle fleet, logistics and warehouse planning to reduce CO₂ emissions from transport, greater diversification and a higher proportion of Tier 1 suppliers that are audited from a sustainability perspective.

CTEK has established a Code of Conduct based on a set of ethical and moral business principles that has been implemented and approved by the Board. The principles guide such aspects as regulatory compliance, respect for human rights, working conditions, child labour, health and safety and the environment. We require that all suppliers sign and comply with the company's Code of Conduct, which is evaluated annually. As part of its sustainability strategy, CTEK also evaluates long- and short-term performance measures for its efforts to achieve a circular business model. These performance measures are measured on an ongoing basis and used in the internal target-setting process.

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

Financial performance

FIRST QUARTER

Net sales

Net sales for the quarter amounted to SEK 237 million (234), corresponding to growth of 1 percent. Organic growth was -3 percent. The volume trend for the Energy & Facilities and Original Equipment divisions remained healthy, but demand was higher than delivery capacity. Energy & Facilities increased its sales by almost 80 percent in the quarter, while growth in Original Equipment was 14 percent. The Aftermarket division, which targets end consumers, noted a more restrained market climate after Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Deliveries of Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) products accounted for 17 percent (11) of sales in the first quarter.

Earnings

The gross margin declined 8.7 percentage points to 48.4 percent (57.1), primarily due to higher logistics costs, a larger share of purchases outside framework agreements as a result of a shortage of components and a changed product mix compared with last year.

Adjusted EBITA amounted to SEK 22 million (67), corresponding to an adjusted EBITA margin of 9.3 percent (28.7). The earnings trend was mainly due to a lower gross margin, a larger share of sales from the Energy & Facilities division and continuing investments in the organisation.

EBIT amounted to SEK 15 million (56), with an EBIT margin of 6.4 percent (23.9). The first quarter of the year did not contain any items affecting comparability (-4).

Financial income and expenses

Financial items (net) amounted to SEK -1 million (-26) for the first quarter of the year and were mainly attributable to interest expenses offset by realised and unrealised currency derivatives. The decrease compared with last year was mainly due to refinancing in connection with the listing in September 2021.

Tax

Tax for the quarter amounted to SEK -3 million (-7), corresponding to an effective tax rate of 24 percent.

Consolidated profit

Consolidated profit after tax for the quarter amounted to SEK 11 million (23), corresponding to earnings per share after dilution of SEK 0.22 (0.52).

CASH FLOW AND CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

Cash flow from operating activities amounted to SEK -1 million (-9) in the first quarter of 2022, which can largely be attributed to higher working capital requirements, due to, for example, continuing to build up inventory to ensure deliveries. Cash flow from investing activities amounted to SEK -28 million (-12). Cash flow from financing activities amounted to SEK 25 million (-1), which largely comprised new loans raised in connection with the utilisation of credit facilities of SEK 27 million (0). Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the period amounted to SEK 51 million (73). Available credit facilities at the end of period amounted to SEK 100 million (50), and SEK 85 million (0) had been utilised.

INVESTMENTS

CTEK's investments totalled SEK -28 million (-12) for the quarter, of which SEK -2 million (-10) referred to investments in tangible assets and SEK -26 million (-3) referred to investments in intangible assets, which can be attributed to capitalised development expenditure for future products.

EQUITY AND INDEBTEDNESS

CTEK's balance sheet total amounted to SEK 1,597 million on 31 March 2022 (1,566 on 31 December 2021). Equity increased SEK 15 million to SEK 670 million for the quarter (655 on 31 December 2021). Interest-bearing net debt amounted to SEK 530 million at the end of the quarter compared with SEK 500 million on 31 December 2021. Net debt in relation to adjusted EBITDA for the last 12 months amounted to a multiple of 3.6 compared with 2.6 on 31 December 2021, and was mainly due to the lower earnings.

SEGMENT REPORTING

Segment reporting

CTEK's operations are conducted in three divisions, which also represent accounting segments, that are based on the company's defined customer groups and allow for the operations to be managed efficiently. The divisions share central functions, such as IT, HR, product realisation, marketing, accounting and global service, which includes the customer service centre, installation support and customer training.

Aftermarket - directly targets end consumers with sales via distributors, retailers and online retailers.

Original Equipment - direct sales to OEMs of, for example, customised chargers and integrated solutions.

Energy & Facilities - delivers EV chargers to charge point operators, property owners, etc.

Sales of the Group's products and services are also divided into two technologies: Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) and Low Voltage (LV).

Central - This includes Group-wide income and costs that cannot be allocated to the segments. Group-wide income and expenses are also comprised of individual sales of components to suppliers.

INTERIM REPORT JANUARY-MARCH 2022


SEGMENT REPORTING

Aftermarket

Net sales declined 15 percent to SEK 151 million (177) for the first quarter. Organic growth was -19 percent. Currency effects had a positive impact of 4 percentage points on net sales. This performance was due to a strong comparative quarter with a growth exceeding 60 percent and the fact that CTEK has seen a more restrained market climate among end customers following Russia's invasion of Ukraine, and thus less of a tenancy among the company's retailers to build up their own inventories. CTEK also experienced production disruptions regarding NJORD GO, a portable EV charger launched last year, due to a shortage of components, but also some certifications, which have now been resolved. Furthermore, the price of certain components and freight costs remain at significantly higher levels than last year.

The segment result (Adjusted EBITDA) declined to SEK 48 million (84), corresponding to a margin of 32.2 percent (47.3). The segment margin was negatively impacted by lower volumes, higher logistics costs and a higher share of purchases outside framework agreements.

Original Equipment

Net sales increased 14 percent to SEK 35 million (31) for the first quarter, which is the division's highest sales for a quarter to date. Organic growth was 8 percent. Currency effects had a positive impact of 6 percentage points on net sales. The performance was due to generally higher demand, from a number of leading automotive manufacturers in different geographies after a weaker period due to the pandemic.

The segment result (Adjusted EBITDA) amounted to SEK 10 million (9), corresponding to a margin of 29.9 percent (29.1).

Energy & Facility

Net sales increased 79 percent to SEK 37 million (21) for the first quarter. Organic growth was 77 percent. Currency effects had a positive impact of 2 percentage points on net sales. Growth was primarily attributable to higher domestic sales to, for example, charge point operators combined with higher demand for EV charger systems and Chargestorm Connected 2.0, a new version of EV chargers that was launched last year. The export side also continued to perform positively in line with the enhanced internationalisation focus of the division.

The segment result (Adjusted EBITDA) amounted to SEK -8 million (-11), corresponding to a margin of -21.4 percent (-50.9). Although the higher volume had a positive impact on earnings, it was offset by increased costs for activities in new markets and product launches. Furthermore, the operations continue to have a relatively high share of fixed costs compared with current volumes.

Central

Net sales in Central amounted to SEK 14 million (6) for the quarter. Adjusted for items affecting comparability, EBITDA of SEK -18 million (-7) was reported for the first quarter.

OTHER INFORMATION

Other information

Parent Company

The Parent Company of the Group is CTEK AB (publ). Group-support functions in CTEK are recognised in CTEK AB. No sales of good or services to external customers take place in the Parent Company. Loss for the quarter for the Parent Company amounted to SEK -3 million (-1), mainly comprising diverse expenses, salary for the CEO and remuneration of the Board. Equity at the end of the quarter amounted to SEK 1,333 million, compared with SEK 1,332 million on 31 December 2021.

Significant events during the quarter

  • Mathias Sandh took office as interim Chief Financial Officer (CFO) and temporary member of the company's management team.
  • CTEK initiated a partnership with Fuuse for integrated charging, payment and billing for EVs.
  • CTEK initiated a partnership with Polarium to develop EV and sustainable energy storage technology.
  • CTEK AB (publ) signed an agreement for a twelve (12) month extension of the existing credit facility with another SEK 100 million, at disposal during April. This extension was to ensure the company's strategic targets in a situation whereby negative external factors, such as disruptions in the supply chain, risk leading to an increased need for capital.

Significant events after the end of the reporting period

CTEK has appointed Thom Mathisen as the new Chief Financial Officer (CFO). Thom Mathisen will replace Mathias Sandh, who has been acting interim CFO since January, and will take up his new position no later than the fourth quarter. Thom Mathisen has a solid background with a number of leading positions within ABB, where he was CFO at several global business units and at SSAB, where he had the role as CFO for SSAB EMEA and Head of Global Business Services at a group level. Most recently, Thom Mathisen comes from Dellner Couplers Group, where he has been CFO since 2019.

Employees

The average number of FTEs for the quarter was 205 (164). The average number of FTEs amounted to 176 at the most recent year end. The increase is explained by continued investments in the organization to secure future growth.

Seasonal variations

CTEK's operations are not significantly affected by seasonal variations. Each quarter is normally comparable between years, although product launches and larger orders in ongoing customer projects may, to a certain extent, impact the financial performance during an individual quarter.

Significant risks and uncertainties

CTEK is exposed to a number of business and financial risks. The business risks can in turn be divided into strategic, operating and legal risks. The aim of CTEK's risk management is to identify, control and reduce risks. This takes place based on the probability of the risks and their potential effect on the Group. The risk assessment is unchanged compared with the risk profile presented in CTEK AB (publ)'s 2021 Annual Report on page 55 and onwards. The Parent Company's risks and uncertainties are indirectly the same as for the Group. However, the level of indebtedness declined markedly in connection with the change to a listed environment.

Owners and legal structure

CTEK AB (publ), corporate registration number 556217-4659, is the Parent Company of the Group. The share capital on 31 March totalled 49,292,936 ordinary shares.
