COMMENTS FROM THE CEO

Second-quarter net sales were as forecasted – reporting strong earnings explained by one-off item and better sales In the second quarter our aftermarket sales continued to increase quarter-to-quarter. OEM sales rebounded from record-low-level but is still far from getting through pandemic effects. Net sales increased quarter-to-quarter with 19% to MSEK 37 (31), in-line with forecast. EBIT was MSEK 6.6, up from MSEK 0.6 in the first-quarter, including one-off items in the OEM segment (MSEK 5). EBIT was also driven by higher sales volumes compared to previous quarter. EBIT margin adjusted for the one-off items was 5%. We continue to gradually see stronger demand, consequently order intake increased for the fourth consecutive quarter with highest order backlog since Q2 2020.

The aftermarket generated 19% quarter-to-quarter sales growth – reaching two third of the average 2019-quarter Aftermarket sales in the second quarter amounted to MSEK 24 an increase of 19% from the previous quarter, driven primarily by higher spares deliveries. CTT's product population is mainly installed in modern long-haul aircraft still utilized primarily for medium-haul traffic. This explains why aftermarket revenues were two third compared to prepandemic level when our total in-service population almost matches end-2019. With products on widebody aircraft models with right size and economics for competitive long-haul operations, CTT is bound to reach pre-pandemic aftermarket sales level rapidly when long-haul traffic resumes. This phase in the recovery is not far off if those airlines that recently announced re-opening dates for intercontinental flights later this year can fulfil their plans.

OEM rebounded partly from previous record-weak quarter – but is still down 75% in the pandemic

OEM sales showed a 67% increase to MSEK 8 but it was in the light of the previous record-weak quarter. Revenues from deliveries to Boeing, Irkut and Airbus only were one forth compared to pre-pandemic level. The recovery was driven by deliveries to Boeing 787, almost rebounding back from the sharp decline in the first quarter. Though deliveries to A350 and Boeing 777X remained at record-low level. CTT has several customers with large remaining A350 aircraft deliveries, such as Aeroflot, Air China, Air France, China Eastern, China Southern and Turkish Airlines. Our A350 deliveries will though remain lumpy without additional awards. Boeing's decision to temporarily lower B787 production rate below 5 per month is likely to cause some impact on our deliveries in late Q3 or early Q4. Altogether we face increased OEM uncertainty short-term. As a consequence, the previously announced OEM outlook - stating that OEM deliveries in the second half of 2021 shall be in line with the same period 2020 - is redrawn.

As communicated before, OEM widebody market recovery is as a laggard and will remain at pandemic level for a while until widebody seat capacity available is more in balance with demand. The Boeing announce in July that its delivery target for approx. 100 undelivered 787 planes this year is cut to less than half indicates that a production ramp-up for the 787 still is far off. A first positive sign when widebody production rates can increase again came in June when Airbus guided its A350 suppliers to aim for higher production rate in Q3 2022, up from 5 per month to 6.

During Q2, CTT and Airbus agreed on terms to cancel our line-fit contract on the A320 Family. I am still confident that our Anti-Condensation system is requested by many A320 customers - but under current market conditions we could not convince Airbus to start another A320 line-fit project instead of the ceased one for A321XLR. I am convinced that CTT in the future can re-engage with Airbus to get a new narrowbody OEM commitment. We will however continue to sell our retrofit system to A320 airline customers.

Private jet sales were low – Successful launch by Airbus Corporate Jets with first customer

Booked sales from private jet activities missed expectations and decreased 21% quarter-over-quarter to MSEK 2 (3), explained by delays in one large VIP project.

CTT had on the other success in its business development, particularly with Airbus Corporate Jets (ACJ). In July, ACJ launched the ACJ320-Enhanced Inflight Humidification (IFH) system and simultaneously received a first order. This is a confirmation that ACJ will endorse the system which increase our possibilities to increase ACJ320 Family penetration. This also increases our chances to be awarded the IFH system for the ACJ TwoTwenty business jet. Another milestone event occurred when test flights commenced in July with our IFH system onboard a Bombardier Global 7500 business jet. All in all, private jet outlook looks strong for the upcoming years and I expect order flow to commence in the second half of 2021.

Retrofit deliveries zeroed in the quarter - Pobeda order to be delivered Q3 with high probability for more orders Retrofit sales were as expected zero in the quarter. The Anti-Condensation retrofit order from Russian budget carrier Pobeda for 10 systems to be delivered in the third quarter was highly anticipated. Those 10 aircraft are transferred to Pobeda as part of a fleet restructuring process within the Aeroflot group. In 2022 and 2023, additional 40 aircraft are scheduled for transfer to Pobeda. This Pobeda opportunity and a better business sentiment at several airlines make me more optimistic to add additional sales prospects.

Q3 revenues forecasted to be flat – full-year revenues MSEK 140 – 160 – better order intake in H2 2021 Third-quarter net sales forecast is MSEK 35 – 40, driven by retrofit and offset by private jet.

Fourth quarter sales are still uncertain to predict, with downside risk in OEM and upside potential in the aftermarket. But due to the big difference in size, only a small improvement in aftermarket sales will offset a possible decline in OEM sales. My estimate for FY2021 revenues is MSEK 140 – 160 (201).

In a broader context, trying to look beyond next quarters: CTT has lost 60% of its sales in the pandemic but we remained focused on customers, maintained on-time deliverables and preserved financial strength to continue investing in our growth projects. My assessment is that CTT in upcoming quarters continuously rebound from pandemic effects. In early phase, the aftermarket is delivering as we predicted; ready to rebound swiftly to prepandemic level when intercontinental traffic resumes. I am confident that we are about to breakthrough into the large business jet segment, significantly increasing our addressable market (compared to pre-covid size). Although OEM sales currently struggle, CTT has a strong OEM position with catalogue products on competitive widebody aircraft models that eventually will replace older ones which implies higher production rates.

Last but not least, if looking at retrofit sales and OEM-selection rate, the post-pandemic market trend is definitively in our favor. There is growing need for products that increase confidence to travel (reduce risk to contract infectious diseases) and improve environmental footprint. We are already seeing stronger interest for humidity as part of better cabin climate performance on long-haul flights. Our weight saving system gain traction as part of airline efforts to meet environmental targets, currently in Northern-Europe but we believe this value proposition is global.

On the back of factors above, I am optimistic that we will start to win orders during second half 2021, driven shortterm by orders in retrofit and private jet. This is the beginning of the end of a challenging period for CTT. I really look forward to see what we can accomplish from a position of improved strength when the aviation market gradually improves.

SALES

Net sales declined by 26% in the second quarter to MSEK 37.5 (50.4). Adjusted for currency effects sales declined by 16%.

The decrease compared to the second quarter 2020, which was the first quarter to be negatively affected by the Covid-19 pandemic, is primarily driven by significantly lower OEM sales. In 2020, the OEM manufacturers' decrease in production rate was postponed to the third quarter. Another contributing factor to the decrease was lower VIP sales explained by natural fluctuations rather than the pandemic. The decrease was partly offset by an increase in aftermarket revenues driven by an increase in flight hours.

Net sales in the first six months of 2021 declined by 46% to MSEK 68.9 (127.5). Adjusted for currency effects sales declined by 39%. The decrease is larger than the quarterly decrease, mainly since Q1 2020 was not affected by the pandemic.

The graph above shows quarterly net sales and rolling four quarters average.

FINANCIAL RESULTS

The Company's operating profit (EBIT) for the second quarter was MSEK 6.6 (5.9), corresponding to an operating margin of 18% (12). Operating profit adjusted for items affecting comparability, amounted to MSEK 1.8. Net profit was MSEK 6.1 (6.0).

The EBIT increase is mainly explained by one-off items from OEM segment during Q2 2021. This effected other operating income and cash flow positively by MSEK 9.1 and amortisation negatively by MSEK 4.3. Net EBIT effect amounted to MSEK +4.8. Excluding this one-off item, EBIT was MSEK 4.1 lower than in Q2 2020, mainly explained by lower OEM sales and negative currency effects. The negative effect on earnings has been limited by the implemented cost savings program, which mainly had an effect on personnel costs. Personnel costs and other external costs amounted to MSEK 25.0 in total (30.9), a 19% decrease from previous year. The currency effects relating to accounts receivable and accounts payable positively impacted operating profit by MSEK 0.4 (-2.7), while currency effects on sales decreased the operating profit by MSEK 5.8 compared to previous year.

For the period January – June the Company's operating profit (EBIT) was MSEK 7.3 (32.6), corresponding to an operating margin of 11% (26). Net profit was MSEK 2.9 (24.2). The decline in earnings were higher than in the quarterly comparison, mainly since Q1 2020 was not affected by the pandemic. This was partly offset by the oneoff items and cost savings.

The earnings trend since Q1 2020 is presented below, where the green line shows the EBIT margin adjusted for currency effects directly linked to accounts receivable and accounts payable.

FORECAST FOR THE THIRD QUARTER OF 2021 – FULL YEAR 2021

The net sales forecast for the third quarter of 2021 MSEK is 35 - 40 (38.3). MSEK 140 – 160 (200.8) for the full year.

FORECAST AND ACTUAL OUTCOME FOR THE SECOND QUARTER OF 2021

In the first quarter report (2021), CTT made the following forecast for the second quarter of 2021: "The net sales forecast for the second quarter of 2021 is MSEK 35 - 40 (50.4)."

The actual net sales amounted to MSEK 37.5.

ORDER INTAKE

During the second quarter, the Company's order intake amounted to MSEK 52 (5.9), which is the fourth quarter in a row with an increase. As of 30 June 2021, the order book totaled MSEK 53 (77), based on USD exchange rate of 8.51 (9.35). The stronger order intake compared to previous year is due to a general increase in flight hours, increasing the demand for the Company's aftermarket products, as well as an improved orderbook for retrofit systems.

CASH FLOW AND FINANCIAL POSITION

Cash flow before changes in working capital increased to MSEK 9.1 (1.8) in the second quarter. The cash flow from operating activities increased to MSEK 7.2 (-9.8). Improved cash flow is mainly driven by one-off items from OEM segment, which increased cash flow by MSEK 9.1. In the comparable quarter, CTT decided to increase working capital to be able to handle supply disruptions in the pandemic, resulting in a positive effect of MSEK 9.7 compared to Q2 previous year.

Cash flow before changes in working capital increased to MSEK 9.4 (0.7) during January – June. The cash flow from operating activities increased to MSEK 0.3 (-5.0). Lower earnings during the first six months of 2021 had a negative effect on cash flow, which was mainly offset by a larger tax payment of income tax for previous years made in Q1 2020, amounting to MSEK 23.3. In addition, one-off items improved cash flow by MSEK 9.1 in Q2 2021.

Long-term interest-bearing loan liabilities amounted to MSEK 67.3 (32.6). The increase from the previous year is mainly related to the taking out of two new loans, the first as financing for the fibre laser cutting and engraving machine installed at the production facility in Nybro during the third quarter previous year, the second was taken out during the first quarter to strengthen the company's liquidity. The increase in interest-bearing loan liabilities has been partly offset by a weaker USD/SEK exchange rate, which has reduced the carrying value of the Company's borrowings in USD.

Overall, CTT has a strong financial position, with its equity ratio at 30 June 2021 amounting to 66% (66), Cash and cash equivalents, including available financing facilities amount to MSEK 45 (134). Net debt as of 30 June 2021 amounted to MSEK 45 (-7), and equity to MSEK 202 (214).

PERSONNEL

The average number of employees during the second quarter were 78 (104). For the period January – June the corresponding number was 82 (105). The decrease from previous year is due to the cost savings programs that was implemented during the pandemic.

INVESTMENTS

Investments in the second quarter amounted to MSEK 2.4 (8.3) and during January – June MSEK 5.1 (13.2) related to ongoing development projects.

RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

The risks in the Company's business operations can generally be divided into operational risks related to its business operations and financial risks related to its financial activities. The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, which has led to a massive standstill of the world's airlines, has had a negative financial impact on CTT during the second quarter. This impact is expected to continue in the coming quarters, but will decrease gradually as commercial flight hours pick up. Other than this, no significant changes in material risks or uncertainties have arisen during the period. A detailed account of CTT's risks, uncertainties and their management can be found on pages 54 - 58 of the Company's Annual Report for 2020.
