CTT is the leading supplier of active humidity control systems in aircraft. We solve the aircraft humidity paradox - with far too dry cabin air - and too much moisture in the fuselage - causing dehydration for people onboard and excess weight in the aircraft inducing larger environmental footprint. CTT offers humidifiers and dehumidifiers available for retrofit and line-fit on commercial aircraft as well as private jets. For more information about CTT and how active humidity control products make air traveling a little more sustainable and far more pleasurable, please visit: www.ctt.se

Net sales in Q4 were MSEK 82 (in-line with MSEK 80 – 90 guidance), driven quarter-to-quarter by large aftermarket orders from one of our distributors and significantly increased revenue in the Private jet business. OEM sales remained as expected at a low level, due to inventory reductions at Boeing. The EBIT margin was 41%, driven quarter to quarter by a positive sales mix and stronger USD in the quarter. The cash flow was weak, explained by late deliveries in the quarter, combined with the comparatively low sales in Q3.
Net sales for FY2024 decreased 3% to MSEK 300 (309). On the back of strong demand in 2023, aftermarket sales decreased by 4% to 233 (243). OEM sales increased 14% to MSEK 40 (35), but far from what we anticipated in the beginning of 2024, since both Airbus and Boeing failed to meet delivery targets for 2024.
Net profit decreased 10% to 85 (95) from a record-high level in 2023. CTT ended the year with a net cash position of MSEK 25 (76). The Board of Directors proposes an ordinary dividend of SEK 5.35 per share (5.35 plus extra 3.35) or MSEK 67.
The net sales guidance for Q1 predicts a sharp but temporary drop to MSEK 50 – 60 (MSEK 78 in Q1 2024), calculating with significantly lower aftermarket sales, due to well stocked distributors. The underlying end-market demand for consumables is growing as expected, but distributors can to a large degree supply airlines with consumables without new orders from CTT. Spares demand is more volatile and harder to predict, due to short lead-times and lumpy orders. On the back of unusually strong demand in 2023 / 2024, CTT had a YoY decline in Q4 and foresee that continued into H1 2025. A positive development in Q1 is expected in the OEM business, driven by leapfrogging deliveries to the 787 program as Boeing resumes to mirror aircraft build-rate content. Private jet revenue is expected to remain at the same level as in Q4.
CTT's focus is to accelerate population growth. The level of success is not only under our control but is highly dependent on Airbus' and Boeing's ability to scale production. In 2025 and coming years, CTT's OEM deliveries are geared to benefit from increased aircraft build-rates and higher average shipset content per delivered A350-aircraft. Boeing and Airbus respectively target 10 aircraft per month, compared with 4 – 6 during 2024.
The Private jet business is heading for a strong sales revival, driven by the cooperation with Airbus Corporate Jets. In Q1 2025, CTT received 3 new kit-system orders for ACJ320s with total order value of MSEK 11. We did not meet our 2024 prediction to close new OEM contracts in Private jet. Not yet there, but I can conclude solid progress together with Liebherr towards Bombardier. Additionally, we are in a contractual phase with another Private jet OEM.
The anti-condensation retrofit business continued to improve in the quarter. As previously announced in a separate press release, CTT received an order for 146 A321's with options for another 9 from a leading European Low-cost carrier. Total order value based on list price is approx. MSEK 120. In addition, CTT has outstanding quotations with a total order potential of approx. 350 aircraft.
To summarize, sharply lower aftermarket sales in Q1 and into Q2 will have a significant negative impact on CTT's results (due to volume and mix). High volatility between quarters is definitively not good, given that the underlying demand is stable and predictable. We aim to work more closely together with our distributors to smooth out volatility. The good thing is that demand will steadily reduce distributors' inventories to reach an equilibrium that will start generating end-market-driven demand in Q2/Q3, with the normal order flow to CTT. CTT's weak financials are consequentially transitory, and the rebound is expected to be swift. In parallel, we evidentially see material signs of a better market for all three product areas. In H1 2025, we foresee a strong increase in OEM sales and Private jet revenue. I am also confident that we shall close more retrofit deals during the year.
Finally, I also would like to take the opportunity to underline that CTT is an amazing company thanks to its dedicated staff and leading partners. Together we will ensure that CTT deliver on the long-term strategy that shall generate strong returns to shareholders.

Net sales increased by 1% in the fourth quarter to MSEK 82.2 (81.2). Adjusted for currency, sales increased by 1% 1 , positively impacted by increased deliveries to OEMs and Private jet but offset by lower revenues in the Aftermarket. In OEM, sales increased to MSEK 9.5 (8.3), driven by an increase in deliveries to A350 compared with last year, but offset by the planned inventory reductions at Boeing. Quarterly Aftermarket revenue decreased to MSEK 61.3 (68.2), mainly due to lower spare parts revenues for Boeing. Private jet increased sales to MSEK 8.3 (1.6), mainly driven by partial deliveries to the two new ACJ330 projects. No deliveries in the Retrofit area during the quarter (0.0).

Net sales in the full year of 2024 decreased
by 3% to MSEK 300.1 (308.9). Adjusted for currency, sales decreased by 2%, mainly negatively impacted by lower deliveries of aftermarket consumables due to larger airline orders in 2023.

Rolling four quarters, the revenues amounted to MSEK 75.0 in average per quarter or MSEK 300.1 in yearly pace.

The breakdown of net sales for the quarters is presented above.

The operating profit (EBIT) in the fourth quarter increased to MSEK 33.6 (31.6), corresponding to a margin of 41% (39). The increase in earnings compared to the fourth quarter last year is mainly a consequence of positive currency effects, but offset by a poorer revenue mix due to lower deliveries in the aftermarket. The outcome for the quarter has a lower share (75% vs. 84%) of Aftermarket in the revenue mix, which corresponds to MSEK -2.0 in earnings impact compared to the fourth quarter of 2023. The quarter was impacted by a total of MSEK +7.6 in positive currency effects, MSEK +0.6 from net sales and MSEK +7.0 from the valuation of account receivables and payables compared with the previous year. An increase in the number of employees, 85 (80) compared with the previous year, resulted in increased personnel costs, mainly linked to investments in increased sales,

marketing and delivery capacity. Net financial items amounted to MSEK -3.2 (3.1) and were negatively impacted by currency effects from loans taken in USD with -3.7 (3.4). The profit margin decreased to 37% (43). Net profit was MSEK 24.1 (27.4) and earnings per share amounted to SEK 1.93 (2.19).
For the full year of 2024 the operating profit (EBIT) decreased to MSEK 112.6 (118.4), corresponding to a margin of 38% (38). The decrease in earnings compared to last year is mainly a consequence of the poorer result in the third quarter. Net profit was MSEK 85.5 (95.5) and earnings per share amounted to SEK 6.82 (7.62).

The earnings trend since Q3 2023 is presented to the left, where the green line shows the EBIT margin adjusted for currency effects directly linked to accounts receivable and accounts payable valuation. Average USD / SEK exchange rate according to Riksbanken.
The net sales forecast for the first quarter of 2025 is MSEK 50 - 60 (78.2).
In the third quarter report (2024), CTT made the following forecast for the fourth quarter of 2024: "Estimated range for net sales in Q4 2024 is MSEK 80 and 90 (81)."
The actual net sales amounted to MSEK 82.2 for the quarter and MSEK 300.1 for the full year.

During the fourth quarter, the Company's order intake decreased to MSEK 81 (87), mainly due to the fact that distributors have a lower need for deliveries in the first quarter 2025.
Cumulatively, order intake decreased to MSEK 264 (316), mainly negatively impacted by lower demand for aftermarket consumables due to larger airline orders in 2023.
As of 31 December 2024, the order book totaled MSEK 48 (79), based on USD exchange rate of 11.00 (10.04), at the end of the quarter. An increase in order intake from OEMs in the future will lead to an increased order book since OEMs, unlike orders in the aftermarket, generally have longer lead times than one quarter.
Cash flow before changes in working capital increased to MSEK 26.0 (24.6) in the fourth quarter, mainly affected by increased EBITDA (MSEK 35.4 compared to 33.6). The cash flow from operating activities decreased to MSEK 16.0 (30.4). Changes in working capital were in total MSEK -9.9 (+5.7). Operating liabilities increased, but were offset by increases in inventories and accounts receivable in the quarter. This is mainly a consequence of low sales in the third quarter and the fact that the fourth quarter's invoicing largely took place in December, i.e. a low proportion of payments in the fourth quarter. Net cash flow in the reporting period was MSEK 14.0 (29.0). The change in the quarter is described in the graph to the right.

See Cash flow analysis on page 12
For the full year 2024 cash flow before changes in working capital amounted to MSEK 89.3 (92.9). The cash flow from operating activities decreased to MSEK 66.3 (116.8), mainly as a consequence of negative changes in working capital.
Overall, CTT has a strong financial position, with its equity ratio at 31 December 2024 amounting to 74% (75). Cash and cash equivalents amounted to MSEK 69 (118), and in addition CTT has available credit facilities of MSEK 53. Net debt as of 31 December 2024 amounted to MSEK -25 (-76), and equity to MSEK 290 (314).
Investments in the fourth quarter amounted to MSEK 1.7 (1.5), and during the full year of 2024 MSEK 4.7 (7.9).
The average number of employees during the fourth quarter was 85 (80). For the full year of 2024 the corresponding number was 84 (77).

CTT is exposed to several risks that could significantly impact the Company's operations, earnings and financial position. The Company's risks are divided into strategic, operational and financial risks. One of these risks is currency. CTT is extremely dependent on the exchange rate of USD to SEK, as most of its revenues are in USD (as business in the aviation industry is priced in USD). CTT has a large proportion of costs in non-USD currencies, mainly SEK. A weakening in USD/SEK-rate has an adverse effect on earnings. For a more detailed description of this particular risk and others, refer to the Risk and Risk Management section on pages 62 - 66 of the Company's Annual Report 2023. No significant changes in material risks or uncertainties have arisen during the period.
