CEO COMMENTS

CEO comments

Further robust action initiated to improve profitability and cash flow – gradual ramping up of EV charger deliveries to General Motors

As the newly appointed Interim CEO, I am of course not satisfied with the fourth quarter's financial performance – despite the fact that we've entered a new phase with weakened private consumption and weaker construction activity. At the same time, our partnership with General Motors (GM) has led to a sharp and unforeseen increase in resources needed for development. Our focus now is to create the conditions for achieving a real improvement in profitability by substantially reducing our cost base and tied-up capital as we move forward. It is gratifying that our gross margins are stable for the existing product range, even though the sharply changed product mix will have a negative impact on the Group's gross margins moving forward.

Significantly reduced operating expenses

The fourth quarter's financial performance was in line with what we have previously communicated. Organic sales declined 10 percent and the adjusted EBITA margin fell to 5 percent. We have initiated robust action to improve profitability and cash flow. They are estimated to reduce operating expenses by about SEK 80 million on an annual basis when they take full effect, which is expected towards the end of 2023, and generate a positive cash flow for full-year 2023. Moreover, substantially reduced costs for EVSE products in the Original Equipment division are a top priority.

Stable underlying gross margins

The Aftermarket division, which targets end consumers, noted continued volatile demand due to the geopolitical situation, and more restrained private consumption. Net sales declined 24 percent organically but, fortunately, with retained margins. In Energy & Facilities, which focuses on the Destination chargers segment, organic sales declined 7 percent. This was attributable to lower market activity in the construction industry with postponed projects and an intensifying focus on profitability before growth. In the Original Equipment division, organic growth was 140 percent, driven by the ramp-up of EV charger deliveries to GM. Although the underlying gross margin in the divisions remained stable, and at a satisfying level, the new volumes entail a sharply changed product mix and a major dilutive effect on the Group's gross margins. As of this report, we will be presenting the proportion of EVSE sales in each division to show the current status, demonstrate the potential, and increase transparency.

Valuable experience and solid knowledge

Deliveries of the base variant of 'Ultium Chargers' to GM continued as planned during the quarter. Both GM and end customers are satisfied with the product, which will gradually increase in volumes. The current partnership started back in 2020, and several factors have affected the journey to date. Besides being the first project of this kind for both CTEK and GM, the pandemic had a major impact due to supply chain disruptions, a sharp increase in component costs and development challenges. Looking back, this has resulted in an initial weak product margin. We are

img-0.jpeg

now working to achieve a substantially lower product cost and thereby improve our profitability. At the same time, plans are under way to launch another product variant for GM in the second quarter of 2023. A major development project involving many consultants that has been ongoing for the past few years has now reached the final phase and is helping to improve cash flow. At the same time, we have gained valuable experience and solid knowledge that will enable us to sell our products to the aftermarket and other automobile manufacturers, and expand in this segment in both North American and European markets.

Fully underwritten new share issue

To increase our financial flexibility and realise a considerable potential – not least in the EVSE segment without losing momentum – the Board has decided on a new share issue for SEK 350 million with preferential rights for the company's existing shareholders. The new share issue is conditional upon an Extraordinary General Meeting to be held on 3 March, and is fully underwritten by Investmentaktiebolaget Latour. Prior to the proposed new share issue, the Board has reviewed the financial targets and has decided to revise one of them. The adjusted EBITA margin shall amount to 20 percent, compared with the previous target of 25 percent.

Outlook for full-year 2023 and the first quarter

CTEK's assessment is that the initiated actions will reduce operating expenses by about SEK 80 million on an annual basis and take full effect by the end of the year. In addition to the one-off costs related to our action program of SEK 10 million in the fourth quarter 2022, we assess that the one-off costs for full implementation in the first quarter will amount to SEK 15-20 million, (including severance pay to the previous CEO). However, although we are already seeing the effects of the actions taken, a significantly changed product mix will mean that the gross margin decreases in the order of 10 percentage points in the first quarter compared to the full year 2022. This will in turn lead CTEK to assess that the adjusted EBITA margin will be lower in the first quarter of 2023 than in the fourth quarter of 2022. We anticipate a gradual improvement during the year, however, with an estimated double-digit adjusted EBITA margin in the fourth quarter. Furthermore, EVSE sales are expected to account for about half of the Group's net sales for full-year 2023, while a lower working capital requirement will generate a positive cash flow for full-year 2023.

History of innovation and technology leadership

During our – for this industry – long history, we have established a worldwide distribution network and close relationships with most of the world's largest automobile manufacturers, which combined has created a globally recognised brand. At the same time, we have a history of innovation and technology leadership that has continuously generated a strong product portfolio in both EVSE and Low Voltage, due to the high level of expertise and hard work of our employees.

I would like to conclude by thanking all of our employees for their hard work over the past, extremely challenging years, and also thank our shareholders for your continued trust.

Ola Carlsson, Interim President and CEO

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 continue to develop, market and sell innovative, 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 20 percent in the medium term.

Capital structure

Net debt shall 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

img-2.jpeg

ensure that the company meets the increasingly strict sustainability 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

FOURTH QUARTER

Net sales

Net sales for the quarter amounted to SEK 257 million (258). Net sales declined 10 percent organically. The Original Equipment division increased its sales by 170 percent and the ramp up of EV chargers for General Motors continued during the quarter. Sales in Energy & Facilities, which focuses on the destination chargers segment, organic net sales decreased by 7 percent. This was explained by lower market activity in the construction industry with postponement of projects and an increased focus on profit over growth. The Aftermarket division, which targets end consumers, noted continued volatile demand due to the geopolitical situation, and more restrained private consumption. Net sales in Aftermarket fell 17 percent. Deliveries of Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) products accounted for 30 percent (19) or SEK 77 million (46) of sales in the fourth quarter. This entailed a reduction in sales capacity in a number of markets. Lower activity in the construction sector also led to the postponement of projects.

Earnings

The gross margin rose 1.3 percentage point to 50.5 percent (49.2), due in part to a more normalised supply chain, offset by a changed product mix.

Adjusted EBITA amounted to SEK 13 million (21), corresponding to an adjusted EBITA margin of 5.0 percent (8.1). The earnings trend was due to a changed product mix and continued generally high cost level.

EBIT decreased to SEK -4 million (14), with an EBIT margin of -1.6 percent (5.4). The fourth quarter of the year included items affecting comparability of SEK -10 million (-), which can be attributed to ongoing organisational changes. Refer to Note 6 for a specification of items affecting comparability.

Financial income and expenses

Financial items (net) amounted to SEK -13 million (-1) for the fourth quarter of the year. The deterioration in financial net was primarily due to higher interest-rate levels compared with last year, but also the negative effects of realised and unrealised currency derivatives and currency effects on internal loans.

Tax

Tax for the quarter amounted to SEK -9 million (-3), corresponding to an effective tax rate of 53,7 percent, which was the result of a reversal of previous years' deferred tax.

Consolidated profit

Consolidated loss after tax for the quarter amounted to SEK -27 million (-10), corresponding to earnings per share after dilution of SEK -0.54 (0.19).

FULL-YEAR

Net sales

Net sales for the full-year increased 3 percent to SEK 950 million (922). Net sales declined 4 percent organically. Deliveries of Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) products increased to SEK 237 million (163) and accounted for 26 percent (18) of sales during the year.

Earnings

The gross margin was 50.3 percent (52.9). This decline was mainly due to a changed product mix and a higher share of purchases outside framework agreements compared with last year, which slowed, however, with a more normalised supply chain in the second half of the year.

Adjusted EBITA amounted to SEK 79 million (151), corresponding to an adjusted EBITA margin of 8.3 percent (16.3). The earnings trend was primarily due to lower volumes and lower gross margin, as well as a continued generally high cost level.

EBIT amounted to SEK 36 million (82), with an EBIT margin of 3.8 percent (8.9). The full-year included items affecting comparability of SEK -15 million (-40), which can be attributed to the ongoing reorganisation and a restructuring of the supply chain in the third quarter of the year. Refer to Note 6 for a specification of items affecting comparability.

Financial income and expenses

Financial items (net) amounted to SEK -15 million (-76) for the full-year. Improved financial items were due to lower interest expenses as a result of the refinancing that took place in connection with the listing in September 2021 and the positive effects of realised and unrealised currency derivatives and currency effects on internal loans.

Tax

Tax for the year amounted to SEK 19 million (-1), corresponding to an effective tax rate of 87.4 percent, which was the result of a reversal of previous years' deferred tax.

Consolidated profit

Consolidated profit after tax for the year amounted to SEK 3 million (4), corresponding to earnings per share after dilution of SEK 0.05 (0.10).

YEAR-END REPORT JANUARY-DECEMBER 2022


CASH FLOW AND CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

Cash flow from operating activities amounted to SEK -47 million (-28) for the full-year, which can largely be attributed to higher working capital requirements, due to building up inventory to ensure deliveries in the coming quarters and the lower earnings. Cash flow from investing activities amounted to SEK -116 million (-67). Cash flow from financing activities amounted to SEK 115 million (50), which largely comprised new loans raised in connection with the utilisation of credit facilities of SEK 128 million (58). Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the period amounted to SEK 10 million (54). Available credit facilities at the end of period amounted to SEK 200 million (100), and SEK 181 million (58) had been utilised.

INVESTMENTS

CTEK's investments totalled SEK -116 million (-67) for the year, of which SEK -9 million (-15) referred to investments in tangible assets and SEK -109 million (-52) referred to investments in intangible assets, which can be attributed to capitalised development expenditure for current and future products.

EQUITY AND INDEBTEDNESS

CTEK's balance sheet total amounted to SEK 1,708 million on 31 December 2022 (1,566 on 31 December 2021). Equity increased SEK 7 million to SEK 662 million for the year (655). Interest-bearing net debt amounted to SEK 677 million at the end of the year (553). Net debt in relation to adjusted EBITDA for the last 12 months amounted to a multiple of 5.4 compared with 2.6 on 31 December 2021, and was mainly due to the lower earnings.

The tenor of the 12-month supplementary credit of SEK 100 million received in April 2022 was extended until the end of December 2023. In conjunction with this, and to manage the higher debt/equity ratio than previously anticipated during the next 12-month period, certain covenants, pertaining to both financial parameters and ownership structure, for the company's total loan commitment have been temporarily renegotiated.

SEGMENT REPORTING

Aftermarket

Net sales fell 17 percent to SEK 147 million (176) for the fourth quarter. Net sales declined 24 percent organically. Currency effects had a positive impact of 8 percentage points on net sales. The Aftermarket division noted more volatile demand among end customers due to the geopolitical situation, and more restrained private consumption. The share of online sales decreased during the quarter.

The segment result (Adjusted EBITDA) was in line with last year at SEK 47 million (59), corresponding to a margin of 32.1 percent (33.5). The negative development of the margin was mainly attributable to lower volumes.

Net sales for the full-year decreased 12 percent to SEK 566 million (644). Net sales declined 18 percent organically. Currency effects had a positive impact of 6 percentage points on net sales.

The segment result (Adjusted EBITDA) for the full-year declined to SEK 196 million (247), corresponding to a margin of 34.6 percent (38.4). The segment margin was negatively impacted by lower sales volumes, higher logistics costs and a higher share of purchases outside framework agreements compared with the preceding year.

Original Equipment

Net sales increased 170 percent to SEK 66 million (24) for the fourth quarter. Organic growth was 140 percent. Currency effects had a positive impact of 30 percentage points on net sales. The performance was primarily due to a gradual ramp up of EV chargers for General Motors, but also 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 12 million (2), corresponding to a margin of 18.2 percent (10.1). The higher margin was the result of higher volumes, offset by a changed product mix.

Net sales for the full-year increased 73 percent to SEK 179 million (103). Organic growth was 57 percent. Currency effects had a positive impact of 16 percentage points on net sales.

The segment result (Adjusted EBITDA) amounted to SEK 31 million (20), corresponding to a margin of 17.3 percent (19.2).

The accounting policies applied correspond to those stipulated in the 2021 Annual Report (Note 1).

NOTE 2 – ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS

Preparing the interim report requires management to make judgements and estimates, and to make assumptions that impact the application of the accounting policies and the recognised amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The actual outcome may deviate from these estimates and judgements.
