img-4.jpeg

With effect from January 1, 2022, EDAG has merged its skills from various fields including electrification, fuel cells and batteries into a single business unit "Energy Systems and Drive Train". With this move, EDAG is positioning itself as a strong engineering expert and provider of innovative solutions for new drive concepts for the mobility revolution. Embedded in EDAG's own 360° degree approach to the development of complete vehicles and production facilities, existing and

new customers will from now on be able to rely on a competent partner for sustainable mobility projects. Roberto Diesel is to head the new business unit.

In order to meet growing demands for more sustainable, fossil-free and intelligently networked mobility today and in the future, mobility service providers and manufacturers are increasingly going to have to take the entire value chain into account. In this

context, the energy infrastructure will play a key role in ensuring a sustainable future for our industrial society and the lifestyles and mobility habits we enjoy as a result. Starting with the largely sustainable generation of energy, its storage and availability, an efficient infrastructure and distribution structure, through to the supply of all essential energy consumers. With the Energy Systems and Drive Train division, EDAG is now redefining its position in this field.

EDAG also takes an all-round engineering approach to energy management. The focus here is not only on energy generation and consumption, but also on sustainability aspects. In the new business unit, developments and solutions are assessed with a view to their reuse and the underlying recycling processes.

Roberto Diesel, Vice President for Energy Systems and Drive Train at EDAG, reports: "In mobility and logistics, our focus is on all means of transport, from passenger

cars and two-wheelers, commercial vehicles and work machines to buses, ships, trains and aircraft. Throughout the process, we consider all aspects of energy use, be this in the further development of battery-electric eMobility, fuel cell or hydrogen powertrains, in the industrial utilization, and in ensuring sustainable supplies to buildings. By using and building on EDAG's strengths from now on, we will be able to make a real contribution towards further advancing decisions and systems that are right for the future of mobility. Together, we can make a really enormous difference. And that is something I look forward to."

INTERIM MANAGEMENT REPORT

1 Basic Information on the Group

1.1 Business Model

Three Segments

With the parent company, EDAG Engineering Group AG, Arbon (Switzerland) ("EDAG Group AG"), the EDAG Group is one of the largest independent engineering partners to the automotive industry, and specializes in the development of vehicles, derivatives, modules and production facilities. The entire group of companies will hereinafter be referred to as EDAG Group or EDAG.

The business is organized in the following segments: Vehicle Engineering, Electrics/Electronics and Production Solutions. The principle we work on is that of production-optimized solutions. This means that we always ensure that development results are in line with current production requirements.

Our main focus is on the automotive and commercial vehicle industries. Further potential is also seen in the industrial and smart city environments. Our global network ensures our local presence for our customers.

Presentation of the Vehicle Engineering Segment

The Vehicle Engineering segment ("VE") consists of services along the vehicle development process as well as responsibility for modules, derivatives and complete vehicles. We serve our customers from the initial idea through to the finished prototype. The segment is divided into the following divisions:

Our Body Engineering department brings together all of our services such as package & ergonomics, body assembly, surface design and interior & exterior. This also includes the development of door, cover and lid systems. Further, the Body Engineering department is involved with new technologies and lightweight design, as well as commercial vehicle development and the development of car lights such as headlamps, rear and small lamps. In addition to dealing with computation and simulation, the Dimensional Management team works on the reproducibility and

geometrical quality of the products. Interface management and the management of complex module developments are taking on an increasingly significant role in the projects. Our Vehicle Integration department is responsible for the complete functional integration and for vehicle validation. This department employs computer-aided engineering (CAE) to carry out the early validation of products and their properties. Functionality is validated and durability analyzed on the test equipment and facilities at our test laboratories, in readiness for start of production. This includes testing individual components, modules, engines, motors, transmissions, and even complete vehicles. The new profit center, Energy Systems and Drivetrain, was created on January 1, 2022. Here, we have bundled in-house competencies in the design, development and integration of future-oriented powertrains (e.g. electric motors) and energy storage systems (e.g. battery, hydrogen) in both the mobility and the energy sectors. In the Models & Vehicle Solutions department, we offer a full range of styling, ideation and design services, and in our design studios we are able to implement the virtual design validation process and construct physical models for all phases of vehicle engineering. In the associated Prototype and Vehicle Construction department, we create complete test vehicles as well as sub-assemblies and vehicle bodies for the physical validation of these modules and systems. The development and production of individual vehicle conversions round off the portfolio of this department. This also includes the construction of classic cars, including custom-made spare parts. Complete vehicle development and interdisciplinary module packages, some of them calling for the involvement of our international subsidiaries, are managed by the Project Management department. The Product Quality & Care department provides assistance with consulting and support for quality-related matters, as well as services which explain a product and enable it to be used effectively.

Presentation of the Electrics/Electronics Segment

The structures in the Electrics/Electronics (E/E) segment consist of six programs that represent a complete E/E portfolio from the customer's point of view, and externally reflect the most important customer trends. These six programs are: Vehicle Electrics & Electronics, e-Drive & Energy Systems, Comfort & Body Systems, Autonomous Drive & Safety, Connectivity & User Experience (UX) and Mobility & Cloud Services. Systematic innovation management, adherence to new agile development processes and rapid customer-oriented development are the values that are also applied in customer projects in the digital transformation process.

REPORT ON THE FIRST QUARTER OF 2022

REPORT ON THE FIRST QUARTER OF 2022


Thanks to the competence organization in the growth domains, the range of services offered by the EDAG E/E segment provides all development services required for a complete vehicle. PMBO (Project Management Office & Business Operation) consolidates the cross-segment project management processes and provides the E/E project leaders with an explicit project management framework for small to large-scale projects.

Increasingly, international work results are being provided in cooperations across various segments and sites. This includes in particular the growth domains eMobility, autonomous driving, digital networking both inside and outside of the car, and solutions for mobility services. Also included in the range of services are developments relating to comfort and safety systems.

To accommodate the constantly increasing number of functions and the internal and external networking of vehicles, the Architecture & Networks Development division develops innovative domain or service-oriented architectures on the basis of a fully integrated tool-based EDAG E/E architecture development process. Starting with the initial feature list, through topology and the vehicle electrical system, to integration in the corresponding vehicle, EDAG provides support and development services for all development phases through to series production, using the company's own benchmark, feature and component databases.

The Systems Engineering division develops electrical and electronic systems and functions. The systems are divided into their individual elements: sensor technology, actuator technology and controls. The core competency centers on the management of the development process throughout the entire development, following either the OEM's or EDAG's process model. Whereas there is a tendency to perform specifying activities at the beginning, the focus of tasks shifts towards controlling system integration and system validation as the project progresses, concluding with support during the approval phase of the market-ready systems.

E/E Software & Digitalization develops hardware and software components. EDAG provides support along the entire development cycle from the concept phase to series production, and assumes responsibility for all development activities. Development in line with the ASPICE model in highly automated tool chains and agile development teams is one of the daily challenges faced in the endeavor to ensure efficient processing with high-quality engineering in the projects. Information technology is another key aspect of Software & Digitalization. Here, EDAG E/E develops innovative services on behalf of customers. EDAG E/E's service portfolio includes order-related UX, agile development processes and distinctive technological expertise in classic software development in the front-end and back-end and in special applications in the field of AI and data science.

The Integration & Validation division combines validation and testing skills. Apart from specific test stand construction, this also calls for knowledge of test strategies, test specifications and test performance. The tests are carried out in the laboratory, at the test site, on the road, or in virtual test environments in a variety of ways ranging from manual to highly automated. All E/E aspects relating to prototype and test vehicle construction are also included in this division.

In its cross-company interdisciplinary function, competence in the field of functional safety & cybersecurity in particular is gaining in significance. In society's endeavors to minimize risks (Vision Zero), comprehensive security concepts that also cover the infrastructure and monitoring elements such as vehicle guidance systems are being developed. With the introduction of a new standard in ISO/SAE 21434 and planned standardized requirements for the type approval of vehicles, cybersecurity is becoming increasingly important. Here too, EDAG intends to take a leading position.

A further addition to the service portfolio is Process & Product Data Management ("PPDM"), which attends to the cross-divisional management of all processes aimed at achieving milestones in the product creation process. The services range from process management, through certification, homologation and release management, to commissioning and digital mock-up.

Presentation of the Production Solutions Segment

The Production Solutions (PS) segment - operating through the independent company EDAG Production Solutions GmbH & Co. KG, Fulda, its international subsidiaries and profit centers - is an all-round engineering partner which accepts responsibility for the development and implementation of production processes at 11 sites in Germany and at international sites particularly in the USA, India, Hungary and China. In addition to handling the individual stages in the product creation process and all factory and production systems-related services, EDAG PS is also able to optimally plan complete factories over all fields, including cross processes, and to provide realization support. The Industry 4.0 methods and tools serve as the

REPORT ON THE FIRST QUARTER OF 2022

REPORT ON THE FIRST QUARTER OF 2022


basis for the networked engineering between the product development and plant construction processes.

EDAG PS is organized in the following segments: Automotive Solutions, Industrial Solutions and Smart City Solutions.

The Automotive Solutions division comprises the long-standing segment of EDAG PS. EDAG PS offers customers in the automotive industry an extensive portfolio which ranges from planning to virtual commissioning. It has the comprehensive production development competence needed to master all the interfaces between product development, production engineering and plant engineering and construction. In this business field, the focus is on product manufacturing and feasibility, and also on the new technologies within the automotive industry. The new automotive technology innovations encompass everything to do with the battery, alternative drive systems and sustainability environment. Another area on which the division focuses is mechatronic engineering in body manufacturing, final assembly and the component. The aim is to reduce the number of hours in the engineering process for each factory, production line and production cell by means of standardization and automation. Digital factory methods are used in all production lines (digital, virtual and real-life) to guarantee that functional requirements are met and implemented. To meet customers' requirements, the engineers develop realistic 3D simulation cells in which the planning, design and technological concepts are implemented and validated, both mechanically and electrically, in line with process requirements. Early involvement during the engineering process makes it possible to systematically improve production processes and ensure an optimized start of production (ramp-up).

In the Industrial Solutions division, holistic and independent production solutions are developed, digitally validated and implemented. Starting with analysis and consulting, then the planning and development of production plants through to their realization, support along the entire product and production development process is provided for customers in the automotive sector, and particularly in industry in general. The key services in this division are the six elements of the smart factory: product design for manufacturability, coordinated technical building equipment and plant layout, individual production solutions, networking through smart logistics, digitalization and networking in production, and virtual reality and augmented reality in production. In this way, EDAG PS aims to achieve improved process reliability for

its customers, along with a sustainable factory infrastructure, increased productivity, supply chain excellence, complexity control, and improved decision-making and process validation. The portfolio is also complemented by Feynsinn, a process consulting and CAx development department. IT-assisted sequences and methods are developed here, as is software for product design, development, production and marketing. Feynsinn also offers consulting, conceptual and realization services in the field of visualization technologies. A range of training opportunities completes the EDAG PS industrial solutions portfolio.

Alongside these two core business fields, the Smart City Solutions division is also being developed to advance digitalization and networking in the public arena. The focus of this division is on intelligent networking solutions: smart mobility, smart infrastructure, smart people and smart government. With these connectivity solutions, EDAG PS helps cities and municipalities to network the transport of passengers and goods, gather and consolidate city-related information, make digitalization accessible to people, and digitize processes and link data interfaces.

1.2 Targets and Strategies

At 9.4 percent, the materials and services expenses ratio was slightly below the level of the same period of the previous year (Q1 2021: 9.5 percent). At 2.3 percent, the materials expenses ratio was well below the level of the same period in the previous year (Q1 2021: 3.9 percent). On the other hand, at

7.0 percent, the ratio of service expenses in relation to the revenues was above the level of the same period in the previous year (Q1 2021: 5.6 percent).

The EDAG Group's personnel expenses in the reporting period increased by 11.7 percent to € 133.9 million compared to the same period in the previous year. The ratio of personnel expenses, on the other hand, decreased to 69.2 percent compared with the same period in the previous year (Q1 2021: 76.5 percent). In the quarter just ended, the company had a workforce of 7,917 employees on average, including apprentices (Q1 2021: 7,893 employees).

Depreciation, amortization and impairments totaled € 9.4 million (Q1 2021: € 9.4 million). The net result from the impairment or impairment loss reversal of financial assets amounted to € 0.3 million (Q1 2021: € 0.0 million). The other operating expenses increased by € 3.5 million to € 22.7 million.

Compared to the previous year, the EBIT in the reporting period increased by € 15.1 million to € 14.3 million (Q1 2021: € -0.8 million). This means that an EBIT margin of 7.4 percent was achieved (Q1 2021: -0.5 percent).

Primarily adjusted for the depreciation, amortization and impairments from the purchase price allocations that were recorded in the reporting period in 2022 (€ 0.6 million), the adjusted EBIT figure was € 14.7 million (Q1 2021: € 1.4 million), which is equivalent to an adjusted EBIT margin of 7.6 percent (Q1 2021: 0.9 percent).

The financial result for the first quarter of 2022 was € -1.8 million, (Q1 2021: € -2.3 million), an improvement of € 0.5 million compared to the same period in the previous year. One significant effect was an improvement in the results of investments accounted for using the equity method (€ 0.3 million) compared with the previous year (Q1 2021: € 0.0 million).

Overall, with a profit of € 8.4 million (Q1 2021: a loss of € 2.1 million), business development of the EDAG Group was satisfactory in the reporting quarter. The increase in revenues led to an increase in the EBIT margin. In view of the transformation of the automotive industry towards eMobility, autonomous driving and connectivity, budgets are still being re-allocated.

REPORT ON THE FIRST QUARTER OF 2022

Development of the Vehicle Engineering Segment

Incoming orders in the first quarter of 2022 just ended amounted to € 155.4 million, which was well above the level of the same period in the previous year (Q1 2021: € 117.3 million). At € 115.6 million, revenues were also above the previous year's level (Q1 2021: 100.4 million). All in all, an EBIT of € 9.2 million was recorded for the Vehicle Engineering segment in the first quarter just ended (Q1 2021: € 1.5 million). The EBIT margin amounted to 8.0 percent and was thus well above the level of the same period in the previous year (Q1 2021: 1.5 percent). Compared to the same period in the previous year, there was a marked improvement in the adjusted EBIT margin, which increased to 8.3 percent (Q1 2021: 2.9 percent).

Development of the Electrics/Electronics Segment

Incoming orders increased by € 23.4 million to € 85.0 million compared to the same period in the previous year (Q1 2021: € 61.6 million). At € 54.7 million, revenue was also above the level of the same period in the previous year (€ 45.5 million). The EBIT stood at € 4.6 million (Q1 2021: € 2.0 million). This meant that the EBIT margin amounted to 8.3 percent (Q1 2021: 4.4 percent). The adjusted EBIT margin was 8.3 percent, which was a significant improvement on the previous year's level (Q1 2021: 4.9 percent).

Development of the Production Solutions Segment

In this segment, incoming orders amounted to € 31.9 million, which was slightly above the level of the same period in the previous year (Q1 2021: € 30.1 million). At € 26.5 million, the revenue in the first quarter was a significant € 6.5 million above the previous year's level (Q1 2021: € 20.0 million). Overall, the EBIT for the Production Solutions segment stood at € 0.5 million in the first quarter (Q1 2021: € -4.3 million). At 2.1 percent, the adjusted EBIT margin is well above the level of the same period in the previous year (Q1 2021: -18.4 percent).

Cash Flows and Financial Position

At € 669.3 million, the EDAG Group's statement of financial position total was € 24.9 million below the level of December 31, 2021 (€ 694.2 million). The non-current assets decreased slightly by € 3.0 million to € 321.9 million (12/31/2021: € 324.8 million). Investments and depreciation on the non-current assets balanced each other out during the reporting period. In the current assets, there was an increase in the contract assets (€ 39.8 million). By way of contrast, the accounts receivable decreased by € 64.0 million. At € 151.1 million, the cash and cash-equivalents remained at a very high level compared to December 31, 2021.

On the equity, liabilities and provisions side, equity increased to € 128.4 million as a result of the current profits (€ 8.4 million) and effects from the subsequent measurement of pension provisions (€ 3.7 million). The equity ratio was 19.2 percent (12/31/2021: 16.6 percent).

Non-current liabilities and provisions decreased to € 285.7 million due to the increase in the actuarial interest rate applied to pension provisions (12/31/2021: € 291.3 million). Current liabilities and provisions decreased by € 32.2 million to € 255.3 million, mainly as a result of a decline in contract liabilities.

In the first quarter of 2022, the operating cash flow was € 10.9 million (Q1 2021: € -19.0 million). The increase was due to improvements in financial performance, but primarily due to effects from the trade working capital.

At € 5.0 million, gross investments in the reporting period were higher than in the previous year (Q1 2021: € 3.5 million). The ratio of gross investments in relation to revenues was therefore 2.6 percent (Q1 2021: 2.2 percent).

On the reporting date, unused lines of credit in the amount of € 105.7 million exist in the Group (12/31/2021: € 106.4 million). The Executive Management regards the overall economic situation of the EDAG Group as good. The company has a sound financial basis, and was able to fulfil its payment obligations at all times throughout the reporting period.

2.3 HR Management and Development

The success of the EDAG Group as one of the leading engineering service providers in the automotive sector is inextricably linked to the skills and motivation of its employees. Behind the company's comprehensive service portfolio are people with widely differing occupations and qualifications. In addition, the EDAG Group is also characterized by the special commitment and mentality of its employees. Throughout more than 50 years of history, EDAG has always ensured that both young and experienced employees are offered interesting and challenging activities and projects, and are provided with the prospect of and the necessary space for


personal responsibility and decision-making. And this is the primary focus of both our human resources management and development. For a more detailed representation of personnel management and development, please see the Group Management Report in the Annual Report for 2021.

On March 31, 2022, the EDAG Group employed a workforce of 7,963 people (12/31/2021: 7,880 people). Personnel expenses in the reporting period amounted to € 133.9 million (Q1 2021: € 119.9 million).

3 Forecast, Risk and Reward Report

3.1 Risk and Reward Report

The following significant change to the risks and rewards described in Group Management Report in the Annual Report for 2021 occurred during the reporting period. Operative risks in the first quarter remain in risk category C, though with an increased probability of occurrence (2021: medium).

As regards the other risks and rewards, there were no significant changes during the reporting period to the risks and rewards described in the Group Management Report for 2021. Although from a macroeconomic point of view, the projected development of the global economy could create opportunities for EDAG, the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic nevertheless continue to represent a risk to the global economy and to EDAG. The war in Ukraine initiated on February 24, 2022 with the attack by Russia brings additional uncertainties. This could derail the recovery of the global economy from the pandemic with long-term effect. Current assumptions regarding a positive development of the global economy are based on the premise that the conflict remains limited to Ukraine and that further sanctions against Russia exclude the energy sector.

Considering the measures taken, our position on the market, and our strategic and financial strength, we remain confident of our ability to contain the existing risks and deal successfully with the resulting challenges. For a more detailed representation of the Risk and Reward Report, please see the Group Management Report in the Annual Report for 2021.

3.2 Forecast

According to the latest IMF estimate announced on April 19, 2022, an increase of 2.1 percent in economic performance is expected for Germany in 2022; the trend is expected to continue, with a growth rate of 2.7 percent in 2023. Within the euro area, the IMF expects a growth rate of 2.8 percent in 2022 and of 2.3 percent in 2023. Growth of the US economy is expected to reach 3.7 percent in 2022, while a growth rate of 2.3 percent is anticipated in 2023. According to latest estimates, China, with forecasts for a 4.4 percent increase in economic output in 2022 and 5.1 percent in 2023, will continue to be a growth engine for the global economy, and is therefore one of the states with the fastest growing economic performance in both 2022 and 2023.

The outlook in the automotive industry for 2022 continues to be marked to a high degree by impairments along the international value and supply chains. The situation is aggravated by the war of aggression initiated by Russia in Ukraine. For both the United States and China, the VDA anticipates a growth rate of 2 percent in 2022. For Europe, the VDA expects a growth rate of 3 percent in 2022.

In its forecast of April 14, 2022, Morgan Stanley anticipates that sales of vehicles will increase to 71.8 million in 2022, which is 4.4 percent more than in 2021. This means the number of vehicles sold in the course of 2021 was just under 69 million units, which, while higher than the previous year's level, is still below that of 2019, the year prior to the crisis, when over 78 million units were sold.

Besides the sales figures, however, technological and digital trends are having an enormous influence not just on our own business model, but also on those of the OEMs. In particular, a large number of new automotive startup companies can see an opportunity to redesign the mobility of the future. The current emission standards are making the further development of classic powertrain types essential, and promoting the integration of alternative powertrains. The BEV/PHEV¹ technologies are also becoming increasingly important. In addition, however, e-fuels and the hydrogen-based fuel cell are providing high-tech engineering service providers with diverse opportunities. Additional challenges for all market participants are being created by the future-oriented fields of software, sensors as well as autonomous and connected driving. The development of new digital business fields and mobility services necessitates additional development and capacity requirements, which could lead to new growth opportunities for the engineering service market. The continuing

REPORT ON THE FIRST QUARTER OF 2022

REPORT ON THE FIRST QUARTER OF 2022


consolidation of the engineering service providers and changed responsibility models in the drafting of work contracts will also bring about lasting changes within the sector.

The market for engineering services remains highly dynamic. With a growing focus on CO₂ reduction, the development of alternative drive concepts is being massively accelerated. Trend topics such as highly automated driving and data-based business models call for completely new vehicle architectures, and are increasingly leading to a separation of hardware and software in development. The large number of powertrain variants will make flexible and networked smart factories indispensable. All these developments are driving the demand for development services, and will, in the medium to long term, lead to considerable opportunities. The VDA anticipates an investment volume of € 220 billion in research and development in the automotive industry by 2026; to this must be added the expenditure on the conversion of existing and the construction of new plants.

As before, we do not at present see any risk to the continued existence of the company in the Covid-19 pandemic and the geopolitical conflicts, but do see a risk that its development might be impaired. The dynamic situation in connection with the war in Ukraine harbors uncertainties for the development of which cannot be foreseen. It is difficult to make a reliable outlook with regard to possible consequences for supply chains and the availability of pre-products and raw materials in the automotive industry. What is certain, however, is that cross-sector impairments in exports to Russia and production in Russia and Ukraine already exist and will continue. On the reporting date, unused lines of credit with credit institutions in the amount of € 105.7 million exist in the Group. As a result, we see ourselves as being very well positioned to meet the challenges of the 2022 financial year.

Delays in the awarding of contracts, project cancellations, heterogeneous capacity utilization in different areas and locations, and continuing price pressure still pose additional risks for engineering service providers.

As a globally operating company, the EDAG Group is keeping a very keen eye on all forms of economic and geopolitical developments, and has made preparations to ensure that any additional countermeasures that prove necessary can be taken as quickly as possible.

With the current dynamically changing situation and the exceptional uncertainties arising as a result, companies across all sectors find themselves facing considerable challenges when it comes to forecasting economic development and deriving a reliable and dependable quantitative outlook.

For the 2022 financial year, EDAG expects accelerated dynamic growth and a positive development in key performance indicators, and on the basis of this forecasts an increase in revenues in the region of 6 to 9 percent.

What is more, our expectation of a marked and positive improvement in results in the adjusted EBIT remains unchanged, and current projections indicate an adjusted EBIT margin in the 6 to 8 percent range.

On account of the sustained growth, we expect investments in the 2022 financial year to be above the level of the previous year, and anticipate an investment rate that will probably be in the region of 4 to 5 percent.

To a large extent, however, these estimates remain dependent on the impact of the war in Ukraine, the possibility of further geopolitical conflicts, ongoing disruptions in global supply chains, and further pandemic developments.

A summary of the outlook for 2022 is included in the following table:

in € million 2021 Forecast 2022
Group
Revenues 687.6 Increase of around 6 to 9 percent
Adjusted EBIT-margin 4.5% Range of around 6 to 8 percent
Investment rate 2.7% Range of around 4 to 5 percent

The statement of comprehensive income is structured according to the nature of expense method.

5.2 Basic Principles and Methods

Basic Accounting Principles

The consolidated interim report of the EDAG Group AG for the period ending March 31, 2022 has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 "Interim financial reporting". As the scope of the Consolidated Interim Report has been reduced, making it shorter than the Consolidated Financial Statement, it should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statement for December 31, 2021. The Consolidated Financial Statement of EDAG Group AG and its subsidiaries for December 31, 2021 has been prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) of the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), as they are to be applied pursuant to Directive No. 1606/2002 of the European Parliament and Council regarding the application of international accounting standards in the EU. In addition to the International Financial Reporting Standards, the term IFRS also includes the still valid International Accounting Standards (IAS), the Interpretations of the IFRS Interpretations Committee (IFRS IC) and those of the former Standing Interpretations Committee (SIC). The requirements of all accounting standards and interpretations resolved as of March 31, 2022 and adopted in national law by the European Commission have been fulfilled.

In addition to the statement of financial position and the statement of comprehensive income, the IFRS consolidated financial statement also includes additional components, namely the statement of changes in equity, the cash flow statement and the notes. The separate report on the risks of future development is included in the Interim Group Management Report.

All estimates and assessments required for accounting and valuation in accordance with the IFRS standards are in conformity with the respective standards, are regularly reassessed, and are based on past experience and other factors including expectations as to future events that appear reasonable under the given circumstances. Wherever large-scale estimates were necessary, the assumptions made are set out in the note relating to the relevant item in the following.

The present condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the Interim Group Management Report have not been subjected to an audit review in accordance with ISRE 2410, nor have they been audited in accordance with § 317 of the German Commercial Code.

New, Changed or Revised Accounting Standards

EDAG Group AG has applied the following accounting standards adopted by the EU and legally required to be applied since January 1, 2022, although they did not have any significant effect on the assets, financial position and financial performance of the EDAG Group in the Consolidated Interim Report:

  • Annual improvements to IFRS standards (2018 – 2020)

(IASB publication: May 14, 2020; EU endorsement: June 28, 2021)

At the present time, we assume that the use of the other accounting standards and interpretations that have been published but are not yet in use will not have any material effect on the presentation of the financial position, financial performance and cash flow of the EDAG Group.

For this Consolidated Interim Report, a discount rate of 1.98 percent has been used for pension provisions in Germany 12/31/2021: 1.13 percent). An unchanged discount rate of 0.20 percent has been used for pension provisions in Switzerland (12/31/2021: 0.20 percent).

In accordance with the objective of financial statements set out in F.12 et seq., IAS 1.9 and IAS 8.10 et seq., IAS 34.30(c) was applied when determining income tax expense for the interim reporting period. Accordingly, the weighted average expected annual tax rate in the amount of 33.33 percent (12/31/2021: 32.24 percent effective reported tax ratio) was used.

REPORT ON THE FIRST QUARTER OF 2022


Otherwise, the same accounting and valuation methods and consolidation principles as were used in the 2021 consolidated financial statements for EDAG Group AG were applied when preparing the Consolidated Interim Report and determining comparative figures. A detailed description of these methods has been published in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statement in the Annual Report for 2021. This Consolidated Interim Report should therefore be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statement of EDAG Group AG for December 31, 2021.

Irregular expenses incurred during the financial year are reported in cases where reporting would also be effected at the end of the financial year.

The EDAG Group's operating activities are not subject to any significant seasonal influences.

Estimates and Discretionary Decisions

Preparation of the Consolidated Interim Report in accordance with IFRS requires management to make estimates and discretionary decisions that may affect the recognition and measurement of assets and liabilities in the balance sheet, the disclosure of contingent receivables and liabilities on the balance sheet date, and the reported income and expenses for the reporting period.

Due to the fact that it is still not possible to foresee the global consequences of the Covid-19 pandemic and the war in Ukraine, these estimates and discretionary decisions are subject to increased uncertainty. The amounts actually realized may deviate from these estimates and discretionary decisions; changes may have a material impact on the Consolidated Interim Report. Above all, there is a great deal of uncertainty surrounding the unforeseeable potential effects of a fourth corona wave, should one happen.

All available information relating to expected future economic developments and country-specific government measures was taken into account when the estimates and discretionary decisions were being updated.

5.3 Changes in the Scope of Consolidation

On March 31, 2022, the group of combined or consolidated companies is composed as follows:

Switzerland Germany Other Countries Total
Fully consolidated companies 2 5 21 28
Companies accounted for using the equity method - 1 - 1
Companies included at acquisition cost [not included in the scope of consolidation] - 3 - 3

The companies included at acquisition cost are for the most part non-operational companies and general partners, and are not included in the scope of consolidation. The company accounted for using the equity method that is included is an associated company.

With the signing of the contract on December 15, 2021, EDAG Production Solutions GmbH & Co. KG undertook to sell all shares in the subsidiary EDAG Production Solutions CZ S.R.O., Mladá Boleslav, to a third party. The sale became effective in the new year, at the end of January 31, 2022 (loss of control).

5.5 Reconciliation of the Adjusted Operating Profit (Adjusted EBIT)

In addition to the data required according to the IFRS, the segment reporting also includes a reconciliation to the adjusted earnings before interest and taxes (adjusted EBIT). Adjustments include income from initial consolidations and deconsolidations, restructuring, all effects of purchase price allocations on EBIT and directly attributable special effects in conjunction with the cyber attack.

5.6 Segment Reporting

The segment reporting was prepared in accordance with IFRS B "Operating segments". Individual consolidated results are reported by company divisions in conformity with the internal reporting and organizational structure of the group. The key performance indicator for the Group Executive Management at segment level is the EBIT/adjusted EBIT. The segment presentation is designed to show the profitability as well as the assets and financial situation of the individual business activities. Intercompany sales are accounted for at customary market prices and are equivalent to sales towards third parties (arm's length principle).

As at March 31, 2022, the non-current assets amounted to € 321.9 million (12/31/2021: € 324.8 million). Of these, € 2.5 million are domestic, € 270.9 million are German, and € 48.5 million are non-domestic (12/31/2021: [domestic: € 2.5 million; Germany: € 274.4 million; non-domestic: € 47.9 million]).

The assets, liabilities and provisions are not reported by segments, as this information is not part of the internal reporting.

The Vehicle Engineering segment ("VE") consists of services along the vehicle development process as well as responsibility for derivative and complete vehicles. For descriptions of the individual departments in this segment, please see the chapter "Business Model" in the Interim Group Management Report.

The range of services offered by the Electrics/Electronics segment ("E/E") includes the development of electrical and electronic systems, components, functions and services for everything from show cars and prototypes to the complete vehicle. These

services are performed in competencies which are described in greater detail in the chapter "Business Model" in the Interim Group Management Report.

As an all-round engineering partner, the Production Solutions segment ("PS") is responsible for the development and implementation of production processes. In addition to handling the individual stages in the product creation process and all factory and production systems-related services, Production Solutions are also able to optimally plan complete factories over all fields, including cross processes, and to provide the realization from a single source. For more detailed descriptions of the individual departments in this segment, please see the chapter "Business Model" in the Interim Group Management Report.

Income and expenses as well as results between the segments are eliminated in the consolidation.

5.7 Contingent Liabilities/Receivables and Other Financial Obligations

Contingent Liabilities

As at the end of the 2021 financial year, there were no material contingent liabilities on the reporting date.

Other Financial Obligations

In addition to the provisions and liabilities, there are also other financial obligations, and these are composed as follows:

in € thousand 3/31/2022 12/31/2021
Total renting and leasing contracts 4,563 4,602
Open purchase orders 19,789 2,583
Other miscellaneous financial obligations 91 243
Total 24,443 7,428

The obligations from rental and leasing contracts are composed primarily of leasing agreements for low-value assets in the form of IT equipment, of short-term rental agreements and software leasing.

Contingent Receivables

As at the end of the 2021 financial year, there were no material contingent receivables on the reporting date.

5.8 Financial Instruments

Net Financial Debt/Credit

The Group Executive Management's aim is to keep the net financial debt as low as possible in relation to equity (net gearing).

in € thousand 3/31/2022 12/31/2021
Non-current financial liabilities - 120,038 - 120,041
Non-current lease liabilities - 129,100 - 129,866
Current financial liabilities - 19,457 - 19,144
Current lease liabilities - 17,095 - 16,914

Equity 128,366 115,422
Net Gearing [%] incl. Lease liabilities 104.7% 116.7%

At € 134.5 million, the net financial debt on March 31, 2022 is € 0.3 million below the value on December 31, 2021 € 134.7 million. Without taking lease liabilities into account, the net financial assets on March 31, 2022 amount to € 11.7 million (12/31/2021: net financial assets € 12.0 million), which is equivalent to a € 0.3 million reduction in the assets.

The major creditor is a well-known credit institution in the form of a promissory note loan (Schuldscheindarlehen) with a total volume of € 120 million. The promissory note loan is composed of several tranches with various interest rates and terms to maturity of two to seven years. As of March 31, 2022, there is a current loan, including interest, in the amount of € 18.1 million from VKE-Versorgungskasse EDAG-Firmengruppe e.V., the other major creditor, (12/31/2021: € 18.4 million).

A further component of the net financial debt are liabilities from leases. The liabilities from leases primarily include future leasing payments for office buildings, warehouses, production facilities and cars measured using the effective interest method.


The EDAG Group has unused lines of credit in the amount of € 105.7 million on the reporting date (12/31/2021: € 106.4 million).

One of the major factors influencing the net financial debt is the working capital, which developed as follows:

= Other working capital (OWC) - 29,539 - 17,329
Net working capital (NWC) 16,674 12,409

Compared to December 31, 2021, trade working capital increased by € 16,475 thousand, from € 29,738 thousand to € 46,213 thousand. The increase mainly results from a higher capital commitment in contract assets. By way of contrast, accounts receivable decreased.

The other working capital decreased by € 12,210 thousand to € -29,539 thousand, compared to € -17,329 thousand on December 31, 2021. This decrease was influenced mainly by an increase in current other non-financial liabilities from employee benefits.

Book Values, Valuation Rates and Fair Values of the Financial Instruments as per Measurement Category

The principles and methods for assessing at fair value have not changed compared to last year. Detailed explanations of the valuation principles and methods can be found in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statement in the Annual Report of EDAG Group AG for 2021.

For the most part, cash and cash-equivalents, accounts receivable and other receivables have only a short time to maturity. For this reason, their book values on the reporting date are close approximations of the fair values.

The fair values of other receivables with a remaining term of more than a year correspond to the net present values of the payments associated with the assets, taking into account the relevant interest parameters, which reflect the market and counterparty-related changes in conditions and expectations.

The investments and securities are valued at fair value. In the case of equity interests for which no market price is available, the acquisition costs are applied as a reasonable estimate of the fair value. In the financial assets, shares in non-consolidated subsidiaries and other investments are recognized at acquisition cost, taking impairments into account, as no observable fair values are available and other admissible methods of evaluation do not produce reliable results. There are currently no plans to sell these financial instruments.

Accounts payable and other financial liabilities regularly have short terms to maturity, and the values posted are close approximations of the fair values.

The fair values of securities correspond to the nominal value multiplied by the exchange quotation on the reporting date.

The attributable fair values of liabilities due to credit institutions, loans, other financial liabilities and other interest-bearing liabilities are calculated as present values of the debt-related payments, based on the EDAG current yield curve valid at the time. The valuation of the fair value took place according to the "Level 2" measurement category on the basis of a discounted cash flow model. In this context, the current market rates of interest and the contractually agreed parameters were taken as the basis.

REPORT ON THE FIRST QUARTER OF 2022

REPORT ON THE FIRST QUARTER OF 2022


The information for the determination of attributable fair value is given in tabular form, based on a three-level fair value hierarchy for each class of financial instrument. There are three measurement categories:

Level 1: At level 1 of the fair value hierarchy, the attributable fair values are measured using listed market prices, as the best possible fair values for financial assets or liabilities can be observed in active markets.

Level 2: If there is no active market for a financial instrument, a company uses valuation models to determine the attributable fair value. Valuation models include the use of current business transactions between competent, independent business partners willing to enter into a contract; comparison with the current attributable fair value of another, essentially identical financial instrument; use of the discounted cash flow method; or of option pricing models. The attributable fair value is estimated on the basis of the results achieved using one of the valuation methods, making the greatest possible use of market data and relying as little as possible on company-specific data.

Level 3: The valuation models used at this level are not based on observable market data.

Legal Notice

The Consolidated Interim Report includes statements about future developments. Like any form of entrepreneurial activity in a global environment, these statements are always associated with a degree of uncertainty. Our descriptions are based on the convictions and assumptions of the management, which in turn are based on currently available information. The following factors may, however, affect the success of our strategic and operative measures: geopolitical risks, changes in general economic conditions, in particular a prolonged economic recession, changes to exchange rates and interest rates, the launch of products by competitors, including increasing competitive pressure. Should any of these factors or other uncertainties materialize, or the assumptions on which the statements are based prove to be inaccurate, the actual results may differ from the forecast results. EDAG does not intend to continuously update predictive statements and information items, as they relate to the circumstances that existed on the date of their publication.
