Ladies and Gentlemen

The aviation industry is recovering sustainably, with travel volumes continuing to increase year-on-year in the first half of 2024. Travel volume measured in RPKs ( Revenue Passenger Kilometers) was up +7% in North America, +10% in Europe, +5% in the Middle East and +12% in the Asia-Pacific region, all of which are important markets for the aviation industry. The analyses have confirmed that travel volumes in all major aviation markets will once again exceed the level seen before the COVID travel restrictions came into force in 2024.

The aviation industry will continue to be a growth sector in 2024. Old aircraft will be replaced by new ones that boast up to 25 % greater efficiency. In addition, more aircraft will be required for the growing volume of air traffic. The long-term forecasts are also confirmed: more than 42,000 new aircraft will be needed by 2043, while the aircraft construction rates for all major passenger and business aircraft will gradually increase.

In addition to the generally favorable market developments, the aviation industry is preoccupied with three issues:

(1) Ramp-up of production rates: Stability in the supply chains remains one of the major challenges facing the industry. From today's perspective, it can be seen that a large number of suppliers are no longer causing bottlenecks. The response here has been to bring stability to the supply chain by maintaining material safety stocks or additional supplier chains, for example. Supply bottlenecks affecting critical systems, most notably the availability of engines and complex structural systems, but also interior systems customized to airline requirements, are currently generating bottlenecks that are temporarily slowing down a number of rate ramp-ups.

(2) Adjustment of production rates: The lack of essential aircraft systems (see point 1) is forcing OEMs to re-evaluate their scheduled production ramp-ups and implement adjustments in order to meet future requirements. Given the extended procurement times for raw materials, such shifts in demand lead to an increase in working capital stocks. For this reason, the cash flow situation in the aircraft industry is also becoming increasingly significant. The focus therefore remains on managing the ramp-up in the industry, with maximum quality and reliability being given utmost priority.

(3) Inflation costs & efficiency: Inflation in Europe, particularly in Central Europe, has been well above the global average in recent periods. The aviation industry in Europe is experiencing economic disadvantages compared to its global competitors owing to high wage settlements and rising energy costs. The industry is currently focusing on achieving a significant increase in efficiency, reducing fixed costs and relocating production to locations with attractive cost structures.

There still exists the possibility of geopolitical changes, which may also have an impact on supply chains in the aviation industry in the medium term. Global supply chains will continue to be essential for the manufacture of aircraft components and systems, while OEMs, however, in the USA, Europe and China will establish parallel supply chains in addition to those already in place in order to minimize their vulnerability to geopolitical influences. As a future growth market, India will continue to expand its presence in the aviation industry.

It goes without saying that the above-mentioned issues also affect FACC AG and are therefore being addressed by FACC management. In terms of supply chain management, we ensure a high level of material availability through controlled safety stocks and the presence of FACC specialists on our suppliers' premises. Preventive measures of this kind and FACC's continued commitment to delivering on time are greatly valued by our customers.

Our aim being to operate closely with our customers, we have continuously developed a strategic global engineering and production network in Europe, the USA, Canada, India and China over the last ten years. Thanks to this network, we are very well positioned in today's environment to react quickly to changing market conditions.

The FACC Group responds proactively to ongoing changes. In view of the developments outlined above, particular attention is being paid to the following key areas:

  • Optimizing cash flow and increasing the company's financial strength: Working capital has risen considerably due to the significant growth in aviation in recent periods combined with extended delivery times for raw materials. For this reason, the company is focusing on an optimization program designed to reduce working capital significantly and sustainably. The optimization program will be launched in Q4/2024 and is set to be completed by the end of 2025.
  • Further increase in the global share of value added: With the expansion of our plant in Croatia completed on schedule at the end of June 2024, additional production capacity is now available at reduced costs. Utilizing the new site will further decrease production costs and gradually improve profitability. In addition, the relocation of production operations to China for all FACC components required for the Chinese COMAC C919 commercial aircraft commenced on schedule in the first half of 2024. The relocation will be completed by the end of 2024 with all C919 structural and interior parts being manufactured locally in China. Relocating production will considerably reduce product and logistics costs given the upcoming production ramp-up of the C919, FACC's local sourcing of raw materials and the production of all FACC C919 components in China.
  • Increasing efficiency and reducing fixed costs: In addition to the various measures introduced in recent years, additional steps are being taken to increase efficiency. These include measures to decrease material costs by

creating new supply chains, further increasing productivity for new and high-volume projects (learning curve effects and the introduction of automated processes) as well as implementing additional digitalization measures and optimizing administrative processes aimed at reducing fixed costs.

Despite individual short-term rate adjustments, the aviation industry is growing steadily. FACC possesses a broad customer and product portfolio and is therefore more resilient to individual adjustments. FACC AG was able to benefit from market trends in the first half of 2024 and grow significantly faster than the global aviation industry. Compared to the previous year, revenues increased from EUR 354.7 million to EUR 438.4 million. This corresponds to an increase in revenues of 23.6% compared to the 2023 reporting period. Profitability also saw a positive development. Despite a persistently tense situation in the supply chain and intensive recruitment of personnel and the associated on-boarding effects, earnings increased to an EBIT of EUR 22.6 million.

Over the next few months, we will continue to focus on training skilled workers, stabilizing supply chains and successively increasing production rates in line with customer and market requirements and support FACC's projected growth course as planned. With the measures already initiated, the additional efficiency programs planned and the positive development of the aviation industry, we can confirm the forecast for the 2024 financial year at this point in time.

Best wishes, Robert Machtlinger

The strategic partnership with FACC will be further strengthened, as FACC has been accepted as a member of the Supplier Advisory Council of the world's third-largest aircraft manufacturer. The contract for the development and production of components for Eve Air Mobility's eVTOL as well reflects the extension of the cooperation between FACC and Embraer.

FACC WINS AUSTRIAN EXPORT AWARD 2024

At the Export Award Gala of the Austrian Economic Chamber, which took place for the 30th time on 17 June 2024 in the Vienna Hofburg, FACC was awarded the Export Prize in Silver in the Trade and Crafts category. The award focuses on the international successes of Austrian companies.

The decisive factors for awarding the prize to FACC were the company's successful growth and the current strong expansion of its global footprint. FACC's most important export markets include Germany, France, Canada, the United Kingdom, the USA, Brazil and China.

FACC EQUIPS 2000TH AIRBUS WITH SHARKLETS

By manufacturing sharklets for the Airbus A320 family, FACC is making a significant contribution to increasing the efficiency and range of modern passenger aircraft. Utilizing the approximately 2.5- metre-high sharklets significantly reduces fuel consumption. This June, the FACC AG crew celebrated the production of its 2000th Sharklet, thus impressively underlining its market leadership in this field. The anniversary Sharklet is being assembled at Airbus and will go to an airline in the Arab world.

EXPANSION OF PLANT 6 IN CROATIA COMPLETED

Construction work on Plant 6 in Jakovlje (Croatia), which has been operational since December 2021, was successfully completed on schedule in June 2024. The plant is mainly used to produce lightweight components for cabin interiors. The production area was tripled and an additional office building constructed. Service capacities were also created in order to support FACC's central functions as effectively as possible. A 2,000 m² photovoltaic installation satisfies around two thirds of the current energy requirements.

SUCCESSFUL RELOCATION OF COMAC C919 STRUCTURAL AND INTERIOR PARTS

The new Chinese commercial aircraft COMAC C919, which was approved for flight operations last year, is gradually increasing its construction rates. FACC developed the entire passenger cabin and wing components (winglets and spoilers) for the C919. The first aircraft components were produced in Austria. At the beginning of the current year production of the C919 components began at FACC's sister plant "Fesher" in China. Certified components were successfully manufactured and accepted by the customer and the authorities. The relocation of production from Austria to China will be completed in the second half of 2024. As of 2025, FACC will supply its customer COMAC with all the components it needs directly from China. Local production will significantly reduce manufacturing costs, considerably shorten throughput and response times and cut logistics costs by more than 90 percent.

Economic conditions

GENERAL ECONOMIC CONDITIONS

8

The first half of 2024 saw a number of significant developments. The expected interest rate cuts were deferred both in terms of timing and extent, particularly in the USA. At the beginning of June, the European Central Bank (ECB) cut its base rates by 25 base points for the first time since 2019. The interest rate for the primary refinancing operations in the Eurozone currently stands at 4.25%. The US Federal Reserve left its base rate unchanged when it last convened, remaining within a range of 5.25% to 5.50%.

The inflation rate in the European Union (EU-27) stood at around 2.6% in June 2024 compared to the same month of the previous year, indicating a significant recovery. In the USA, the inflation rate in June was 3.0%.

Interruptions to the supply chain continue to be a major challenge for companies. As in the previous year, the main reasons for this are longer delivery times due to supply bottlenecks and, in some cases, limited availability of materials both in terms of raw materials and semi-finished products. Added to this are quality problems affecting a number of products. Price increases and staff shortages also continue to contribute to these disruptions.

INDUSTRY-SPECIFIC CONDITIONS OF THE AVIATION INDUSTRY

Single-aisle aircraft are currently the most frequently used types of aircraft in the industry. These aircraft benefit from the latest technological advances and play an important role in helping airlines meet sustainability, noise and financial targets while satisfying the growing demand for air travel. Prior to the pandemic, the average distance flown by single-aisle and wide-bodied aircraft grew in equal measure, reflecting the expansion of the international network. Today, single-aisle aircraft have overtaken their larger counterparts in this race.

The total number of revenue passenger kilometers (RPK) in the industry rose by 10.7% year-on-year in May. The industry's international passenger traffic reached a new all-time high in May, increasing by 14.6% year-on-year, which is also reflected in the regional figures. The regions recorded significant growth, with the Asia-Pacific region leading the way with a year-on-year increase of 27.0%, followed by Latin America and Africa with 15.9% and 14.1% respectively.

By June 30, 2024, Airbus had delivered 323 aircraft, including 289 single-aisle models such as the Airbus A320 and A220 families. Similarly, 13 Airbus A330 and 21 Airbus A350 were also delivered. By June 30, 2024, Boeing had delivered a total of 175 aircraft. Orders at Airbus amounted to 327 aircraft by the reporting date of June 30, while Boeing recorded 156 orders by the end of June 2024.

The order backlog for all commercial aircraft sold amounts to 16,777 airplanes (as of June 2024). This order backlog also includes regional jets and turboprop aircraft. Of these, 51% are attributable to Airbus, 35% to Boeing and 9% to firm orders from CO-MAC.

On February 17, 2023, FACC Operations GmbH subscribed to an extension of syndicated loan in the amount of KEUR 225,443 with five participating banks. FACC AG and FACC Solutions Croatia d.o.o. are serving as guarantors. The syndicated loan was concluded with a term of three years plus a two-year prolongation option. The contract stipulates five facilities with various intended uses. With the exception of the framework refinancing credit and the equity financing programm, which are secured by receivables, all other facilities are unsecured. The facility of kEUR 60,000 (KRR COVID-19 framework credit of OEKB), which was additionally subscribed in the context of the corona pandemic on 26 June 2020, will be repaid as of 10 March 2023. In turn, an amount of kEUR 36,000 will be drawn from the equity financing program of OEKB, and kEUR 33,526 from Exportinvest.

The following adjustments were made to the financial covenant for syndicated loan:

Outlook

Increasing its profitability remains FACC's primary goal, with the company also aiming for sustainable growth in 2024. The priorities for the 2024 financial year remain in place and are being consistently pursued.

  • profitable growth in all segments of FACC
  • gradually increasing the cash flow and EBIT margin
  • securing the contractually agreed business with a focus on the core business and optimized investments to maximize efficiency

Net Financial
Debt/EBITDA
4.25 4.25 3.75
Equity ratio 25% 25% 25%

The financial covenants for syndicated loan of the respective year shall also apply as of 30 June of the respective year (e.g. the value of 4.25 applies on 30 June 2024 and on 31 December 2024), and will be tested every six months. The creditors have a right of termination in the event that the financial ratios are exceeded.

For all relevant reporting dates after 31 December 2025, a net financial debt/EBITDA ratio of 3.5 and an equity ratio of at least 25% are required. The financial covenants for syndicated loan were complied with both in the previous year and as of 31 December 2023.

All other material provisions of the original syndicated loan agreement and subsequent amendment agreements have been included in the extension of syndicated loan agreement.

On 31 July 2024, promissory note loans in a total amount of kEUR 24,000 were issued to refinance the expired promissory bill loans. The individual tranches have both fixed and variable interest rates and are due for repayment after three, five and seven years. The financing agreements contain an interest rate reduction clause of 25 basis points if the net debt/EBITDA ratio falls below 3.5. In addition, creditors have a right of termination if the equity ratio is below a minimum of 20%. The key figures are tested annually.

  • further reducing net financial debt
  • ensuring further technological advancements
  • potential for significant sales growth in the Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) segment, depending on market developments

From today's perspective, revenue and operating performance will continue to grow as planned. The third quarter will be the weakest in terms of revenue due to seasonal factors. The forecast for the financial year assumes revenue growth of around 10 to 15 per cent compared to the previous year, provided that current global conditions do not change.

GENERAL INFORMATION

The FACC Group (hereinafter referred to as FACC) with headquarters in Ried im Innkreis, Austria, is an enterprise involved in the development, production and maintenance of aircraft components. Its primary fields of activity include the production of structural components such as parts of engine cowlings, wing claddings or control surfaces and the production of interiors fittings in the modern commercial aircraft such as overhead stowage compartments, cabin linings and service units. The majority of the components are manufactured from composite materials. FACC also integrates metallic components made of titanium, high-alloyed steels and other metals into these composite components and delivers the ready-to-install components to the manufacturers' assembly lines.

FACC AG has been listed on the Vienna Stock Exchange in the Prime Market exchange segment (commercial trade) since 25 June 2014.

FACC AG is part of the consolidation scope of AVIC Cabin Systems Co., Limited (ACS) with headquarters in Hong Kong (Room 2202A, 22/F, Fairmont House, 8 Cotton Tree Drive, Admiralty, Hong Kong), company number 1394811.

SUMMARY OF KEY ACCOUNTING AND VALUATION METHODS

1. Basics of preparation of the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

The Interim Consolidated Financial Statement of 30 June 2024 was prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by the International Accounting Standard Board (IASB) and the interpretations of the IFRS Interpretations Committee (IFRIC), as to be applied within the European Union (EU) and in accordance with IAS 34 (Interim Financial Reporting).

The condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statement does not contain all the information and disclosures required for the preparation of a consolidated financial statement at the end of the financial year, and is therefore to be consulted in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statement of 31 December 2023.

The accounting and valuation principles, which form the basis for this Interim Consolidated Financial Statement are consistent with those applied as of 31 December 2023.

The Interim Consolidated Financial Statement is presented in euros. Unless otherwise stated, all amounts have been rounded to the nearest thousand (EUR'000). Due to rounding, slight differences may occur.

The financial statements of foreign subsidiaries are converted into euros in accordance with the functional currency concept of IAS 21. The euro is the local currency of all subsidiaries since they conduct their business independently of each other from a financial, economic and organizational point of view.

The accounting and valuation principles of the previous year, which form the basis for the present Consolidated Financial Statements, were applied unchanged and supplemented by new IFRS standards to be applied from this financial year onwards (see Note 49 – Effects of new and amended standards). A description of the accounting and valuation principles is given in Note 48 – Accounting and valuation policies.

The aim of sustainability management is to take into account the impact on the environment and society in all business processes and to reconcile the company's economic and ecological-social values. Sustainability management and the operating units work closely together on this. Key objectives are the reduction of fuel consumption through weight reduction, recycling management and the use of ecologically recyclable materials. These are long-term topics on which the FACC Group is continuously working. On the sales side, such topics are discussed with the largest customers and have an increasing influence on the new and further development of components and tooling. On the procurement side, these topics are relevant when selecting suppliers. In the production process, this topic affects new processes and methods in production. The topic of sustainability also flows into the product creation and development process.

In general, the aviation industry is expected to continue to grow. Both Airbus and Boeing expect a steady upward trend in air traffic, especially in the Asian markets, underpinning the need for new aircraft. Boeing and Airbus, for example, expect average annual growth in passenger kilometers of 3.8% through 2041, with fleets expected to expand by 2.8% annually over the same period.

2. Use of assumptions and estimates

The preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements requires management to make use of certain estimates and assumptions which impacted on amounts of the reported assets and liabilities as well as on the contingent liabilities, of other liabilities on the balance sheet date and the disclosure of earnings and expenses during the reporting period. The actual amounts may differ from the estimates given.

Estimates and discretionary powers are explained in Note 6 - Estimates and discretionary powers, to the Consolidated Financial Statement of FACC AG as of 31 December 2022.

Current macroeconomic developments may have an impact on accounting. This may have an impact in particular on assumptions in connection with impairment, assessment of triggering events, calculation of provisions and assessment of deferred taxes.

The effects of inflation and interest rate increases were taken into account in the measurement of personnel-related provisions and the interest rates used to discount future cash flows as part of the measurement of non-current assets. Please refer to the explanations in the respective notes.

3. Seasonality of business

The Group's business operations are subject to only minor seasonal fluctuations.

4. Consolidated companies

The interim financial statements of the subsidiaries included in the Interim Consolidated Financial Statement related to the uniform interim reporting date of 30 June 2024 and were prepared in accordance with IFRS, as to be applied within the European Union. The individual financial statements of FACC AG and its subsidiaries are incorporated into the Consolidated Financial Statement in compliance with the uniform accounting and valuation methods applicable to the Group.

The consolidated companies of the FACC-Group as of 30 June 2024 has not changed compared to the scope of consolidated companies as of 31 December 2023.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

5. Determination of fair value

The fair value of financial instruments is determined in three steps, which reflect the degree of certainty of measurement. FACC employs the following hierarchy levels to assign a valuation method to financial instruments measured at fair value:

Level 1: valuation based on market prices for a specific financial instrument

Level 2: valuation by means of market prices for similar instruments or valuation models based exclusively on valuation parameters observable on the market

Level 3: valuation based on models with significant valuation parameters that are not observable on the market

The following tables show the valuation techniques used in determining fair values as well as the most significant unobservable input factors used:

Type Valuation method Significant non-ob
servable input factors
Connection between
significant non-observ
able input factors and
fair value measurement
Financial instruments measured at fair-value
Securities (quoted) Current stock market price on the balance sheet date Non-Applicable Non-Applicable
Forward exchange transactions The fair value is determined using quoted forward
rates on the reporting date and net present value cal
culations based on yield curves with high credit ratings
in corresponding currencies.

Trade receivables (within factoring) Carrying amount as a best estimate of fair values Non-Applicable Non-Applicable
Financial instruments not measured at fair value
Other interst-bearing liabilities Discounting of cash flows Risk premium for own

No shifts occurred between the individual valuation levels in the financial year.

6. Classifications and fair values

The following table shows the carrying amounts and fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities by class and measurement category in accordance with IFRS 9, including their positions in the fair value hierarchy.

Information on the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities, which have not been measured at fair value is omitted if the carrying amount constitutes a reasonable approximation of the fair value.

7. Derivative financial instruments and hedge accounting

The hedging strategies employed by the Group's accounting & treasury department are designed to control and minimize the impact of exchange rate fluctuations. The Management Board approves the strategies and reports regularly to the Supervisory Board.

The risk management conducted by the Group's accounting & treasury department pursues the objective of hedging at least 80% of expected net cash flows in USD (from revenues and purchases of raw materials) for the next twelve months (on a rolling monthly basis) (hedge ratio). If market levels are favorable, hedging periods can be extended to up to 36 months. The Group generally does not use derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes.

Forward exchange transactions qualifying as hedges are recorded as cash flow hedges according to IFRS 9. Forward exchange transactions which are not recorded as cash flow hedges are recorded as free-standing derivatives of the category "at fair value through profit or loss".

Forward exchange transactions (cash flow hedges) are recognized in other comprehensive income until the future proceeds arising from the hedged item, for which they have been designated, are recognized in the balance sheet. Underlying transactions are trade receivables from selected customers with an average payment term of 90 days. Forward exchange transactions are recognized in revenues at their fair values upon initial recognition to profit or loss. Subsequent measurement is recorded under other operating income/expenses. Once the forward exchange transactions have been redeemed, they are then subsequently derecognized, usually within a maximum period of 36 months from the balance sheet date.

Under hedge accounting, future cash receipts in the amount of the Net-Exposure in USD from particular orders already contracted or future transactions, which are expected to occur with a high probability, are designated as hedged items together with the related forward exchange transactions, which are designated as hedging instruments.

The economic relationship between the hedged item and the hedging instrument is determined by comparing the various risk factors with an impact on their respective values. If the critical terms of the hedged item and the hedging instrument are completely or nearly identical, the underlying economic relationship can be demonstrated using the critical terms match method. In all other cases, depending on the extent to which the critical terms differ, either sensitivity analyses or variations of the dollar-offset methods are used to demonstrate the effectiveness of the hedging relationship.

Deviations between the critical terms of the hedged item and the hedging instrument can give rise to inefficiencies. With foreign currency hedging, a mismatch between the time of receipt of the cash flows from the hedged item and the settlement of the forward exchange transactions designated as hedging instruments is an example of such inefficiency. Beyond that, no other sources of inefficiency exist.

Since the underlying values of the hedged item and the hedging instrument are always the same, the hedge ratio reported in the balance sheet is always 1:1, i.e. the designated quantity or volume of the hedging instrument corresponds to the designated quantity or volume of the hedged item. Adjustments are made to the balance sheet hedge ratio if the hedge ratio is unbalanced, which could give rise to inefficiencies leading to accounting consequences inconsistent with the purpose of hedge accounting.

Furthermore, forward exchange contracts in US dollars (volume: kUSD 25,000; previous year: kUSD 25,000) were concluded during the year for the purpose of hedging the exchange rate of receivables from customer-related engineering.

8. Financial risk

The operating business of FACC AG is exposed to various financial risks, including currency, interest rate, liquidity and credit risks. The Group's risk management therefore focuses, among other things, on monitoring the volatility of the financial markets and taking measures to minimize potential negative effects on the company's financial stability. To this end, the Group also uses derivative financial instruments to hedge certain risks.

The Group's accounting & treasury department identifies, evaluates and hedges financial risks in close collaboration with the Group's operating units.

Currency risk

While the vast majority of sales by FACC Group companies are transacted in USD, a significant part of the costs is incurred in currencies other than USD, notably in EUR.

Detrimental changes in foreign exchange rates, in particular in the USD-EUR exchange rate, would therefore produce substantial adverse effects on FACC's business, earnings before interests and taxes and financial position. FACC makes use of derivative financial instruments, such as forward exchange transactions, to hedge against adverse changes in the USD-EUR exchange rate, which can potentially give rise to losses.

Interest rate risk

The interest rate risk results from the average term of the financing and the type of interest rate. The risk lies in falling interest rates for fixed interest rates and rising interest rates for variable interest rates.

Liquidity risk

A key objective of FACC's risk management is to maintain constant financial solvency to meet current and future obligations. The key control parameters for this purpose are the maximization of free cash flow through cost reductions, active working capital management and the reduction of capital expenditure.

BUSINESS SEGMENTS

Segment reporting follows the internal management and reporting of FACC AG (according to IFRS). The earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) are the key performance indicator used to steer the business segments and are reported to the responsible corporate body (Management Board of FACC AG).

Due to different applications of the products, three operative segments were created:

  • Aerostructures: development, production, distribution and repair of structural components
  • Engines & Nacelles: development, production, distribution and repair of engine components
  • Cabin Interiors: development, production, distribution and repair of cabin interiors

In addition to the three operative segments, the Group also comprises the central services Finance and Controlling, Human Resources, Legal, Quality Assurance, Research & Developement, Communication & Marketing, Purchasing and IT (including Engineering Services). The central services support the operative segments in fulfilling their duties within the framework of a matrix organization. Their earnings and outlays are allocated to the three segments using a specific method.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF FINACIAL POSITION

Trade receivables increased by kEUR 10,654. The stabilization of the market has given rise to more steady production volumes and monthly sales at FACC, which translate into an increase of trade receivables.

FACC maintains a non-recourse assignment agreement with two financial institutions in connection with receivables from several customers. Trade receivables were sold to third parties in the amount of kEUR 125,850 (previous year: kEUR 101,934) as of the reporting date.

In the case of one contract, the associated risks and rewards are neither transferred in their entirety nor retained. The continuing involvement resulting from the maximum late payment interest costs amounts to kEUR 1,535 (previous year: kEUR 1,313).
