CTT – WORLD LEADER IN ACTIVE HUMIDITY CONTROL IN AIRCRAFT

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

1) This Interim report is a translation of the original report published in Swedish. In the event of any deviations between the two reports, the Swedish version prevails.

2) Unless otherwise stated, outcome comparisons with a previous period in this Interim report refer to the corresponding period of the preceding year, and the value is given in brackets.

Net sales increased but came in below forecasted range

CTT's net sales in Q2 came in at MSEK 82 (79), below the forecasted MSEK 85 – 90 range, mainly due to MSEK 7 in delayed spares and repair deliveries. This derives to shortages of a component to the 787-dryer from one part supplier (same as failed in Q1). This problem is now solved, and CTT expects to deliver these 787 spares in Q3.

Net sales guidance 2H 2024

We have decided to guide for net sales in 2H 2024 instead of Q3. This is due to a temporary but significant reduction in CTT's deliveries to the Boeing 787 program, impacting Q3 and Q4 (September to December). We believe that half-year guiding is more relevant than quarterly to evaluate full impact. With this in mind, we guide 2H 2024 net sales to be MSEK 160 – 180 compared to MSEK 155 in 2023, an increase of 3% to 16%. Compared to second-half 2023: We expect OEM sales to increase in second-half 2024, driven by deliveries to both Boeing and Airbus. Aftermarket sales are predicted to grow at same pace as first-half 2024 or slightly higher.

Aftermarket growth normalized

As stated previously, aftermarket sales growth in 2024 will be significantly lower compared to the 30% in 2023 that was boosted from pandemic pent-up demand effects. During 1H24 the YoY currency adjusted increase is 9%.

OEM sales driven by a/c ramp-ups - slower take-off

CTT's OEM sales are on a long-term trajectory but the pace of growth primarily depends on Airbus' and Boeing's ability to scale production and deliver aircraft. Widebody build-rate increases in 1H24 are lower than their previous targets, due to supply chain issues at both Airbus and Boeing. As result, Airbus delivered only 21 A350s in 1H24 (monthly average of 3.5), while Boeing handed over 22 787s to airlines. The delivered aircraft in 1H24 are below actual build-rates and disclosed targets:

  • Airbus started the year with a monthly A350 build-rate of 5 - 6, targeting 10 in 2026 and 12 in 2028.
  • Boeing raised the 787-production rate to 5, but deliveries are held back by parts shortages and delivery issues. In Q2, Boeing disclosed that "it is slowing nearterm production with plan to return to five per month later this year, still expecting to achieve gradual rate increases, including 10 per month by 2026".

CTT's OEM demand normally is 6 – 9 months ahead of actual aircraft delivery. But current situation, with slower than planned aircraft build-rate increases and irregular deliveries to airlines, force the OEMs at some point to align inventories of all parts with actual aircraft output / inventory. This leads to a period with lowered or paused demand from suppliers. CTT has already experienced such adjustments with very few A350 deliveries in 1H24. In June, Boeing adjusted its production planning from September to December, significantly pushing down CTT's scheduled deliveries. This sales drop will partly be balanced by normalized A350 demand in 2H24, again reflecting aircraft build-rates and specific shipset content. In Q125, CTT's 787-deliveries shall, according to Boeing's delivery schedule, normalize and mirror 787-aircraft build-rates.

Private jet – VIP defrosts – aiming for bizjet OEMs

CTT's VIP project pipeline is at record high, but Q2 revenues remained as expected at low level. CTT is well positioned to win VIP orders when the market picks-up, mainly driven by ACJ. In the business jet segment, CTT's products must be included in the OEM catalogues, at vendors such as Bombardier, Dassault, and Gulfstream. I repeat my previous statement about "cautiously optimism in entering ACJ similar partnership with Private jet OEMs in 2024".

Strategic sales activities start to pay-off

In the quarter, strategic sales activities started to pay off. Listed below main business highlights since last reporting:

  • OEM: At the Aircraft Interiors Expo in Hamburg, three airlines confirmed humidifier selection for Business class, crew rests and flight deck on their first A350 batch, and one airline confirmed maximum selection for its 777X fleet.
  • Private jet – VIP-kit: Airbus Corporate Jets (ACJ) announced that the Enhanced Humidification kitsystem also is available on ACJ330, with launch customer signed and project start in August (in CTT's books in Q3).
  • Private jet – Business jet OEM: In July, CTT and Liebherr Aerospace agreed to enter a MoU to jointly offer CTT's humidification system to Bombardier for Global 7500/8000.

Strong outlook mainly driven by the OEM market

If looking into next year and beyond, CTT's market is poised to grow significantly, underpinned by on-going production

ramp-ups of Boeing 787s and A350s; and soon Boeing 777Xs. These efforts are supported by Airbus' and Boeing's massive order backlogs; amounting to almost 2,000 aircraft in total for these three models (compared with the 1,738 Boeing 787s / A350s delivered as of end-June). CTT aims to grow sales even faster by increasing shipset content, i.e. by improving penetration and expanding product availability, at commercial OEMs and Private jet OEMs. We have good momentum, making significant progress to continuously improve our A350 selection rates, compared with the ones we had early in the program. In addition to line-fitting the flight deck humidifier, A350 operators to a greater degree now select humidifiers for crew rests, and Business class. We will start to recognize such sales impact from 2025.

In conclusion, I can state that we continue to make strategic progress that improves our market position, at the same time as the market outlook improves, contributing to achieving strong and sustainable growth.

NET SALES

Net sales increased by 4% in the second quarter to MSEK 82.4 (79.0). Adjusted for currency, sales increased by 3% 1 , driven primarily by increased deliveries to the OEM business. Quarterly revenues from the aftermarket increased to MSEK 66.1 (65.5). In OEM, sales increased to MSEK 10.2 (8.4), driven by an increase in deliveries to the Boeing 787 compared to last year. However, this was partly offset by a temporary reduction in deliveries to the A350 when Airbus adjusted inventory in the supply chain (see CEO's comment). Another countervailing factor was that no deliveries were made to the Boeing 777X, which was the case in the comparison quarter. For Private Jet, sales increased to MSEK 2.3 (1.3). No deliveries in the Retrofit area during the quarter (0.0).

Accumulated, for the period January – June, net sales increased with 4% to MSEK 160.5 (154.0). Adjusted for currency, sales increased by 4%, mainly driven by the aftermarket and partly by increased deliveries to Boeing 787 within OEM.

Rolling four quarters, the revenues continue to increase to MSEK 78.9 in average per quarter or MSEK 315 in yearly pace.

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

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

FINANCIAL RESULTS

The operating profit (EBIT) in the second quarter decreased to MSEK 31.4 (33.7), corresponding to a margin of 38% (43). The decrease in earnings compared to the second quarter last year is mainly a consequence of lower aftermarket mix and currency effects. The outcome for the quarter has a lower aftermarket share (80% versus 83%) in the revenue mix, corresponding to MSEK -2.3 effect on the result compared to the second quarter of 2023. The quarter was burdened with a total of MSEK -0.6 in negative currency effects, MSEK +1.2 from net sales and MSEK -1.8 from valuation of accounts receivable and accounts payable compared with the previous year. An increase in personnel, 84 (77) compared with the previous year, increased personnel costs. CTT have increased cost with approx. MSEK 2 by investing in increased sales-, market- and delivery capacity. Net financial items amounted to MSEK -0.4 (-2.5) and were positively impacted by currency effects

from loans taken in USD with 0.2 (-2.1). The profit margin amounted to 38% (39). Net profit was MSEK 24.6 (24.8) and earnings per share decreased to SEK 1.96 (1.98).

Accumulated, for the period January – June, EBIT increased to MSEK 63.9 (56.4), corresponding to a margin of 40% (37). The increase in earnings compared to last year is mainly a consequence of increased volume in aftermarket sales. Net profit was MSEK 49.1 (42.7) and earnings per share increased to SEK 3.92 (3.41).

The earnings trend since Q1 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.

FORECAST JULY - DECEMBER 2024

The net sales forecast for the period July - December 2024 is MSEK 160 - 180 (155).

SECOND QUARTER 2024 FORECAST AND ACTUAL OUTCOME

In the first quarter report (2024), CTT made the following forecast for the second quarter of 2024: "The net sales forecast for the second quarter of 2024 is MSEK 85 - 90 (79.0)."

The actual net sales amounted to MSEK 82.4.

ORDER INTAKE AND ORDER BACKLOG

During the second quarter, the Company's order intake amounted to MSEK 47 (54).

As of 30 June 2024, the order book totaled MSEK 38 (49), based on USD exchange rate of 10.61 (10.85), 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 AND FINANCIAL POSITION

Cash flow before changes in working capital amounted to MSEK 26.5 (30.3) in the second quarter, affected by decreased EBITDA (MSEK 33.3 compared to 35.9) and higher paid tax. The cash flow from operating activities decreased to MSEK 16.1 (62.2). Changes in working capital was in total MSEK -10.4 (+31.9), where operating liabilities increased but was offset by operating receivables and inventory changes in the quarter. Inventory increased mainly due to temporarily larger deliveries of input materials from suppliers. Net cash flow in the reporting period was MSEK -94.2 (8.4), including paid dividend of MSEK 109 (51). The change in the quarter is described in the graph to the right.

See Cash flow analysis on page 13

Accumulated, for the period January – June, cash flow before changes in working capital amounted to MSEK 54.0 (44.2). The cash flow from operating activities decreased to MSEK 42.1 (58.4), mainly driven by increased EBITDA but offset by negative changes in working capital.

Overall, CTT has a strong financial position, with its equity ratio at 30 June 2024 amounting to 70% (71). Cash and cash equivalents amounted to MSEK 49 (62), and in addition CTT has available credit facilities of MSEK 53. Net debt as of 30 June 2024 amounted to MSEK -5 (-16), and equity to MSEK 254 (261).

INVESTMENTS

Investments in the second quarter amounted to MSEK 1.0 (2.7), and during the first half year to MSEK 2.1 (4.7).

PERSONNEL

The average number of employees during the second quarter was 84 (77). Accumulated, for the period January – June, the corresponding number was 84 (76).

RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

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 2022. No significant changes in material risks or uncertainties have arisen during the period.
