CEO COMMENTS
CEO comments on the second quarter
Weak demand in April with significantly lower sales as a result – recovery for the remainder of the quarter
Activities to improve our profitability and reduce our tied-up capital are continuing with undiminished energy, which resulted in continued positive cash flow. However, weak demand from end consumers in April had a negative impact on the quarter with negative sales growth and resulted in a lower operating profit. Nevertheless, it was gratifying to note the recovery during the last two months of the second quarter, a trend we can see is continuing into the third quarter. It was also positive to see that we continue to have stable underlying gross margins in all divisions. The slightly lower gross margin was due to a shift in the product mix.
Cash flow remains positive despite negative sales growth and lower earnings
The previously communicated cost-reducing activities, including personnel reductions, have continued to impact positively. Cash flow after investing activities remained positive for the quarter, driven by activities to reduce tied-up capital in inventories and accounts receivable. We remain firm in our previous assessment that we will have a positive operating cash flow for the full-year 2023. However, the Group's adjusted EBITA margin fell further to 1.4 percent, while organic sales declined 20 percent to SEK 199 million. The negative organic growth was largely the result of weak demand in April in the Aftermarket division, which targets end consumers, and also the continued weaker performance of the Energy & Facilities division. Our assessment is that the Group's adjusted EBITA margin will improve in the second half of the year.
Reduction in number of product variants for EV chargers to North America
CTEK will, in agreement with the American customer in July, reduce the number of customised EV charger product variants, which are being produced and sold into North America, from two to one. The variant which will continue to be shipped will be the high end 19.2 kW EV charger developed by CTEK especially for the premium EV car segment.
Since development began in 2020, a number of significant adjustments were needed in response to challenges in the supply chain and the global shortage of components following the pandemic. In parallel, the market for EVSE products remains at an early stage and is undergoing constant change. The decreased number of product variants in the portfolio will result in write-down costs not affecting cash flow, mainly capitalised development expenditure, in the range of SEK 40–60 million, which will impact the third quarter of 2023.

Production in Mexico enables cost optimisation
In conjunction with the reduction in product variants in EV chargers to North America, we also intend to transfer parts of our production from China to Mexico, partly due to trade tariffs between the US and China. The transfer of production will only concern EV chargers destined for the North American market and will enable significant cost reductions. The production transfer also entails future opportunities to relocate the production of CTEK's low voltage products sold in North America, which would also enable lower production costs. We are now looking forward to profitable and cost-efficient production of EV chargers, while also improving the competitiveness of our low voltage products in the North America market over time.
Agreement signed with a Pan-European parking operator
During July, a new agreement was signed together with one of Europe's largest parking operator. The initial 4-year agreement means that CTEK will supply EV chargers to an expansive network throughout Europe.
I am delighted that we continue to break new ground in Europe with the Energy & Facilities division, which will also be an important step towards achieving profitability within the division by supplying safe and robust destination chargers, something that has become CTEK's hallmark.

CEO COMMENTS
Product launches during the third quarter
We continue to strengthen our product portfolio within EVSE with two new product launches during the third quarter.
Nanogrid Air, a wireless load balancing gateway designed for our portable EV charger NJORD GO, will be launched during September and strengthen our offering in the home segment. The Nanogrid Air will be sold through the Energy & Facilities and the Aftermarket division.
The V2L (Vehicle to Load) adaptor will be marketed in North America and sold through the Original Equipment division. The device enables the use of EV as a power bank to power auxiliary devices, great for, for example, camping.
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. Combined, this 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 both in EVSE and in Low Voltage, due to the high level of expertise and hard work of our employees.
This report will be my last as Interim President of CTEK as I am handing over to Henrik Fagrenius on 1 September and returning to my position as a Board member of the company. I would like to take this opportunity to wish Henrik, and all employees, all the best and thank you for this time.
Ola Carlsson, Interim President and CEO

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 Vikmansbyttan 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 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
SECOND QUARTER
Net sales
Net sales for the quarter amounted to SEK 199 million (235). Net sales declined 20 percent organically. The Original Equipment division increased its net sales 99 percent as the result of continued deliveries of EV chargers for General Motors during the quarter. In Energy & Facilities, which focuses on the destination chargers' segment, net sales declined 38 percent. This was attributable to lower market activity in the construction industry with postponed projects and an intensifying focus on profitability before growth. The Aftermarket division, which targets end consumers, noted continued volatile demand due to more restrained private consumption especially during April. Net sales in Aftermarket fell 25 percent. Deliveries of Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) products decreased to SEK 61 million (64) and accounted for 31 percent (29) of total sales in the second quarter of 2023.
Earnings
The gross margin declined 1.7 percentage points to 50.4 percent (52.1), due to a changed product mix with a larger share of EVSE products in Original Equipment.
Adjusted EBITA amounted to SEK 3 million (23), corresponding to an adjusted EBITA margin of 1.4 percent (9.9). The earnings trend was due to lower volumes and a changed product mix.
EBIT decreased to SEK -13 million (16), with an EBIT margin of -6.3 percent (6.9). The second quarter of the year included items affecting comparability of SEK -8 million (-), mainly related to customs audit pertaining to previous periods. Refer to Note 6 for a specification of items affecting comparability.
Financial income and expenses
Financial items (net) amounted to SEK -5 million (-1) for the second quarter of the year. The deterioration in financial net was primarily due to higher interest rates compared with last year. Currency effects on internal loans had a positive impact.
Tax
Tax for the quarter amounted to SEK -4 million (-4). This was a consequence of non-deductible interest expenses.
Consolidated profit/loss
Consolidated loss after tax for the second quarter of the year amounted to SEK -22 million (profit: 12), corresponding to earnings per share after dilution of SEK -0.32 (0.24).
FIRST HALF OF THE YEAR

Earnings
The gross margin declined 3.1 percentage points to 47.1 percent (50.2), due to a changed product mix with a larger share of EVSE products in Original Equipment.
Adjusted EBITA amounted to SEK 10 million (45), corresponding to an adjusted EBITA margin of 2.3 percent (9.6). The earnings trend was due to lower volumes and a changed product mix.
EBIT decreased to SEK -21 million (31), with an EBIT margin of -4.7 percent (6.6). The first half of the year included items affecting comparability of SEK -17 million (-), which can mainly 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 -18 million (-1) for the first half of the year. The deterioration in financial net was primarily due to higher interest rates compared with last year.
Tax
Tax for the period amounted to SEK 0 million (-7). This was a consequence of non-deductible interest expenses.
Consolidated profit/loss
Consolidated loss after tax for the first half of the year amounted to SEK -40 million (profit: 23), corresponding to earnings per share after dilution of SEK -0.66 (0.46).

INTERIM REPORT JANUARY-JUNE 2023
CASH FLOW AND CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash flow from operating activities amounted to SEK 75 million (-8) for the first half of the year, which was mainly the result of positive effects from activities to reduce tied-up capital in inventories and accounts receivable. Cash flow from investing activities amounted to SEK -51 million (-56). Cash flow from financing activities amounted to SEK 138 million (61), which largely comprised inflows from new share issues and the repayment of utilised credit facilities. Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the first half of the year amounted to SEK 174 million (53). Available credit facilities at the end of period amounted to SEK 100 million (200), and SEK 0 million (123) had been utilised.
INVESTMENTS
CTEK's investments totalled SEK -51 million (-56) for the first half of the year, of which SEK -6 million (-3.1) pertained to investments in tangible assets and SEK -45 million (-53) pertained 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 1,777 million on 30 June 2023 (1,708 on 31 December 2022). Equity increased SEK 289 million to SEK 952 million for the first half of the year (662 on 31 December 2022). This as a result of a new share issue of SEK 350 before issue costs in the first quarter. Interest-bearing net debt amounted to SEK 322 million at the end of the first half of the year (566). Net debt in relation to adjusted EBITDA for the last 12 months amounted to a multiple of 3.4 compared with 5.4 on 31 December 2022.

SEGMENT REPORTING
Aftermarket
Net sales declined 25 percent to SEK 106 million (141) for the second quarter due to a weak start to the quarter. Net sales declined 30 percent organically. Currency effects had a positive impact of 6 percentage points on net sales. The Aftermarket division was impacted by more restrained private consumption with a weak start to the quarter.
The segment result (Adjusted EBITDA) amounted to SEK 38 million (51) for the second quarter, corresponding to a margin of 36.1 percent (35.9). The margin remained stable despite the lower volumes due to price increases, improved predictability in the supply chain and lower freight costs compared with the preceding year.
Net sales declined 22 percent to SEK 227 million (292) for the first half-year. Net sales declined 27 percent organically. Currency effects had a positive impact of 6 percentage points on net sales.
The segment result (Adjusted EBITDA) amounted to SEK 83 million (99) for the first half of the year, corresponding to a margin of 36.5 percent (34.0).

The variant which will continue to be shipped will be the high end 19.2 kW EV charger developed by CTEK especially for the premium EV car segment. The decreased number of product variants in the portfolio will result in write-down costs not affecting cash flow, mainly capitalised development expenditure, in the range of SEK 40–60 million, which will impact the third quarter of 2023.
- CTEK enters into an agreement with one of Europe's largest parking operator. The agreement means that CTEK will supply electric car chargers to an expansive network in Europe.
Employees
