A Interim Group Management Report

1 Business development

In recent months we continued to monitor the situation around the Coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 ('COVID-19') pandemic at all our sites to protect the health and well-being of all our employees, customers and partners as well as our business. The COVID-19 pandemic has still not significantly influenced the business of HENSOLDT Group ('HENSOLDT' or 'the Group') as a provider of defence and security electronic solutions. The utilization of the revolving credit facility, which was fully drawn as part of our COVID-19 mitigation plan in 2020, was reduced by €150.0 million in the first half year of 2021.

In April 2021 LEONARDO S.p.A., Italy, announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement with Square Lux Holding II S.à r.l. ('Square Lux'), a portfolio company controlled by funds advised by Kohlberg Kravis & Roberts & Co. L.P., to purchase a 25.1 % stake in HENSOLDT AG. In May 2021 Kreditanstalt für Wiederaufbau ('KfW'), executing the acquisition rights of the Federal Republic of Germany ('Federal Government'), acquired 25.1 % of HENSOLDT AG's shares from Square Lux.

In May 2021 HENSOLDT AG had its first annual general meeting. Due to the pandemic the meeting was held virtually. Following the decisions of the annual general meeting a total amount of €13.65 million was distributed as dividend to the shareholders of HENSOLDT AG.

With effect as of June 2021 HENSOLDT switched the consolidation method of HENSOLDT Cyber GmbH, Taufkirchen, ('HENSOLDT Cyber') from at-equity to full consolidation due to potential voting rights in connection with conversion rights attached to loans granted to HENSOLDT Cyber. In addition HENSOLDT closed two minor but strategic acquisitions in the first half year of 2021, namely two business units (Air Traffic Management ('ATM') and Defence Division) of Tellumat (Pty) Ltd in South Africa as well as HENSOLDT Analytics GmbH (formerly: SAIL LABS Technology GmbH) in Vienna.

With the appointment of Celia Pelaz as of July 1, 2021 the Management Board of HENSOLDT AG was expanded to four members. Ms. Pelaz serves as Chief Strategy Officer and continues to lead the Spectrum Dominance & Airborne Solutions division as well as HENSOLDT Ventures.

A significant volume of our annual revenue for both reporting segments Sensors and Optronics is typically recorded in the last months of the year due to the timing of many budgetary decisions by our governmental customers. The first half of our financial year, particularly the first quarter, is characterized by a reduction of trade receivables and corresponding cash inflows due to customer payments, a reduction of trade payables and corresponding cash outflows as well as an increase in work in progress accounted for under inventories.

Overall, HENSOLDT's operating business in the first half year 2021 was marked by continued positive development. HENSOLDT has been able to secure a number of orders, most notably for the development and delivery of the airborne electronic signals intelligence system 'PEGASUS' for a contract value of €1.25 billion and large orders relating to procurement of additional Eurofighters by the German Air Force ('Eurofighter Quadriga') in the Sensors segment as well as for observation and reconnaissance platforms in the Optronics segment. Revenue increased by 10.4 % (€486.2 million; PY: €440.3 million). Ramp-up of key programs develops as expected. Adjusted EBITDA increased (€44.1 million; PY: €41.3 million) as lower project margins for higher pass-through revenue and increased functional costs were overcompensated by the increased volume and higher other operating income.

2 Conditions in the defence and security sector

The COVID-19 pandemic magnified existing security trends and tensions and made the security environment more unpredictable. The security threats and challenges that led to the adoption of the NATO Defence Investment Pledge have not subsided with the pandemic. The year 2020 marked the sixth consecutive year of growth in defence spending by European NATO-Allies and Canada.

In Germany the national defence budget for the year 2022 was increased by approximately €3.5 billion in the latest Federal Government's budget draft in June 2021 and will for the first time exceed the mark of €50 billion. The increase includes €1.2 billion out of the economic stimulus package 2020. One driver of the budget increase is the financing of essential procurement programs like the French-German-Spanish Future Combat Air System ('FCAS') and Norwegian-German cooperation programs (submarines and Naval Strike Missile). For the FCAS project the German Budget Committee approved a further government agreement and supplementary contracts worth around €4.4 billion by 2027, which paves the way for the continuation of the armaments cooperation with France and Spain in autumn 2021. HENSOLDT as consortium leader, together with Diehl Defence, ESG and Rohde & Schwarz, is part of the Future Combat Mission System ('FCMS') consortium, which has assumed joint responsibility for the networked use of sensors and effectors in the FCAS project. The budget committee of the German Bundestag cleared a budget of roughly €19 billion for 27 new defence procurement programs each valued over €25 million in June 2021, including PEGASUS. However, the COVID-19 pandemic might have negative effects on defence budgets in the upcoming years. The latest government budget drafts see a slight decrease of the German defence budget after 2022.

The European Defence Fund ('EDF') was officially launched in June 2021. The size of the EDF is approximately €8 billion and was determined during negotiations for the EU's Multi-annual Financial Framework ('MFF') from 2021 to 2027. The decision to fund defence research and capability development programs from the EU budget is an important step that contributes to the growing role of the EU in the field of defence and to boost innovative and disruptive technologies. In the EDF program, consortia consisting of at least three entities from at least three EU member states and Norway can apply for and receive funding from the EDF.

Because of the changing security environment and growing instability, worldwide defence investments increased in the last years. EU and NATO countries are seeking further cooperation in defence matters with a broad range of partner nations, especially regarding the Indo-Pacific region due to the competition with China. The transatlantic relationship between EU and the USA is also being re-established. Although the COVID-19 pandemic might affect national budgets, the focus and priority on defence remains high. Many countries see defence investment as an additional stimulus for economic recovery post COVID-19. Overall, multifaceted business opportunities for HENSOLDT worldwide and especially in its EU home countries result from the conditions in the defence and security sector.

Order intake

  • Sensors: Further growth compared to the very successful previous year mainly related to the orders for the PEGASUS airborne electronic signals intelligence system and Eurofighter Quadriga in the division Spectrum Dominance & Airborne Solutions. Division Radar & Naval Solutions benefits from further contracts with regard to the Eurofighter Quadriga program as well. Previous year included the orders for the Eurofighter Common Radar System Mk1.
  • Optronics: Higher order intake particularly driven by the product line Ground Based Systems. Increases also for the product lines Naval and High Performance Optics as well as for the South African entity.

Revenue

  • Sensors: Overall growth mainly related to Eurofighter radars in the division Radar & Naval Solutions. The divisions Spectrum Dominance & Airborne Solutions and Customer Services & Space Solutions trade on a comparable level as previous year.
  • Optronics: Significant increase mainly driven by Ground Based Systems partly offset by decrease in High Performance Optics due to a product transition.

Order backlog

  • Sensors: Further growth compared to the year-end 2020 mainly driven by the order intake in the divisions Spectrum Dominance & Airborne Solutions and Radar & Naval Solutions.
  • Optronics: Further increase resulted primarily from the order intake in the product lines Ground Based Systems and Naval as well as in the South African entity.

Adjusted EBITDA

  • Sensors: Lower project margins for higher pass-through revenue as well as higher research and development and functional costs were overcompensated by volume effects and higher other operating income.
  • Optronics: Increase in volume and reduced research and development costs were partly offset by project mix effects and higher functional costs.

Earnings before finance result and income taxes (EBIT)

  • Depreciation and amortization: Increase due to higher depreciation of property, plant & equipment and right-of-use assets. Amortization of intangible assets stable as lower amortization of acquired intangible assets was offset by higher amortization of capitalized development costs.
  • Non-recurring effects¹: Decrease mainly due to lower other non-recurring effects in general administrative expenses in connection with the preparation of the initial public offering (IPO) of HENSOLDT AG in the previous year.

Group result

  • Finance result: Decreased expenses largely driven by the revaluation of an embedded derivative in the former Term Loan agreement in accordance with IFRS 9 which characterized the finance result in the previous year. In the reporting period no such effects were recognized due to restructured financial liabilities in connection with the IPO.
  • Income taxes: Decrease mainly due to lower deferred tax income primarily related to the revaluation of the embedded derivative in the former Term Loan agreement in the first half year of 2020.

Earnings per share

  • Earnings per share ('EPS') improved from €-1.11² to €-0.26 compared to prior half year, mainly caused by the improvement of the finance result.

¹ Defined as transaction costs, separation costs and other non-recurring effects.
² Calculated based on the amount of shares at the time of transformation of the legal form of HENSOLDT AG.

Total equity and liabilities 2,701.2 2,947.6 -8.4%

Total assets

  • Non-current assets: Increase largely related to goodwill recognized for the full consolidation of HENSOLDT Cyber and net increase in intangible assets.
  • Current assets: Decrease resulted primarily from the reduction of cash and cash equivalents driven by the partial repayment of the revolving credit facility. This effect was partly compensated by higher current other assets mainly due to higher advance payments made. Following the usual seasonality pattern inventories increased while trade receivables decreased in the first half year of 2021.

Total equity and liabilities

  • Equity: Slight decrease due to the net loss of the reporting period and the decrease in capital reserve as a result of the dividend payment nearly offset by higher other reserves primarily resulting from the valuation of pension obligations.
  • Non-current liabilities: Decrease driven by the reduction of non-current provisions mainly related to the decrease in pension provisions due to higher interest rates.
  • Current liabilities: Decrease primarily related to the partial repayment of the revolving credit facility as well as the reduction of other current financial liabilities. The latter position is determined by scheduled forwarding of payments to a factoring company. This relates to payments received for factoring contracts as of December 31, 2020, that were not yet due for forwarding them to the factor. Current provisions mainly decreased as a result of decreased personnel related provisions due to seasonal patterns and several other movements of project related provisions

within the usual project lifecycles. These decreases were partly offset by higher current contract liabilities largely driven by higher advance payments received as well as an increase in trade payables.

Free cash flow

  • Cash flows from operating activities: Decrease mainly driven by higher buildup of inventories, increasing other assets primarily related to higher advance payments made and lower reduction of trade receivables compared to the previous period. These effects were partly offset by higher contract liabilities as well as an increase in trade payables compared to a decrease in the prior year.
  • Cash flows from investing activities: Increase of cash outflows primarily as a result from higher payments in connection with M&A activities.

Adjusted pre-tax unlevered free cash flow

  • Non-recurring effects³: Decrease mainly due to lower other non-recurring effects in connection with the preparation of the IPO in the previous year as well as the reduction of transaction expenses.
  • Interest⁴, income taxes⁵ and M&A activities⁶: Increase mainly related to higher outflows from M&A activities and income taxes partly offset by lower interest payments in the reporting period.

Cash flows from financing activities

  • Decrease largely due to the partial repayment of the revolving credit facility, while the net cash inflow in the prior period was determined by its drawing as part of HENSOLDT's COVID-19 mitigation plan. Further cash outflows resulted from scheduled forwarding of payments to the factoring company. This relates to payments received for factoring contracts that were not yet due for forwarding them to the factor as of December 31, 2020. In addition dividend payments are included in this reporting period with no distribution in the prior year.

5 Outlook

The Management Board expects a significant increase in revenue for 2021 and a moderate increase in order intake. The adjusted EBITDA is anticipated to increase significantly in 2021. The outlook is unchanged compared to year-end 2020.

This expectation does not account for possible implications from additional waves of infection or further lockdowns in connection with the global COVID-19 pandemic.

6 Opportunities and risks

In HENSOLDT's combined management report for the year ended December 31, 2020, we described the principles of the HENSOLDT risk management system, certain risks which could have an adverse impact on HENSOLDT as well as our most significant opportunities. HENSOLDT's Management Board assesses the overall opportunity and risk situation of the Group as unchanged compared to year-end 2020.

The accounting policies applied to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements are generally based upon the same accounting policies and same methods of computation used in the consolidated financial statements for the financial year ended December 31, 2020. Exceptions are new or revised Standards required to be applied for the first time in financial year 2021 that, however, have not had a material influence on the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements.

3 Judgements and estimates

The preparation of the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with IAS 34 requires the management to exercise judgement and make estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies in the Group and the presentation of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual amounts may differ from these estimates. The results obtained in first half year 2021 are not necessarily an indication of how business will develop in the future.

In the first half year of 2021 HENSOLDT's business and, in particular, the economic environment is still affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, though certain mitigating effects may arise due to the various measures taken by governments or states globally including favorable financial support to the economies.

4 Acquisitions

With effect as of June 2021 HENSOLDT switched the consolidation method of HENSOLDT Cyber from at-equity to full consolidation due to potential voting rights in connection with conversion rights attached to loans granted to HENSOLDT Cyber. Under consideration of the potential voting rights HENSOLDT consolidates 70% of HENSOLDT Cyber. The

Seasonality and cyclicality of operations

A significant volume of the annual revenue for both reporting segments Sensors and Optronics is typically recorded in the last months of the year due to the timing of many budgetary decisions by the governmental customers. The first half of the financial year, particularly the first quarter, is characterized by a reduction of trade receivables and corresponding cash inflows due to customer payments, a reduction of trade payables and corresponding outflows, as well as an increase in work in progress accounted for under inventories.

8 Share of profit / loss from investments accounted for using the equity method

The share of loss in HENSOLDT Cyber, an investment accounted for using the equity method till May 2021, was €-2.0 million compared to €-1.8 million in the first half year 2020.

9 Other operating income / expenses

Other operating income increased by €9.2 million to €18.9 million compared to €9.7 million in the first half year 2020. This is mainly due to the remeasurement to fair value of pre-existing interest in HENSOLDT Cyber in the segment Sensors in June 2021 which led to an income of €10.2 million.

Other operating expenses decreased by €1.3 million to €7.6 million compared to €8.9 million in the first half year 2020. Both are due to lower project costs recharged to other entities.

10 Finance result

Total finance result improved by €71.6 million to €-16.3 million compared to €-87.9 million in the first half year 2020.

This is mainly due to the revaluation of an embedded derivative in the former Term Loan agreement in accordance with IFRS 9 in the first half year 2020 (€-53.9 million). In the reporting period no such effects were recognized due to restructured financial liabilities in connection with the IPO of HENSOLDT AG.

11 Group result

The group result has improved by €60.4 million to €-28.5 million compared to €-88.9 million in the first half year 2020. This is mainly driven by the revaluation result of an embedded derivative as part of the former financing structure in the first half year 2020.

12 Income taxes

Income tax expense was recognized at an amount determined by multiplying the profit or loss before tax for the interim reporting period by management's best estimate of the weighted-average annual income tax rate expected for the full financial year, adjusted for the tax effect of certain items recognized in full in the interim financial period. In the first half year 2021 the remeasurement to fair value of pre-existing interest in HENSOLDT Cyber in June 2021 were treated as discrete items. As such, the effective tax rate in the Interim Financial Statements may differ from management's estimate of the effective tax rate for the annual Financial Statements.

The decrease in income tax income of €18.6 million to €9.7 million compared to €28.3 million in the first half year 2020 resulted mainly from deferred taxes due to the revaluation of the embedded derivative in the first half year 2020.

13 Intangible assets, Goodwill, Property, plant and equipment and Right-of-use assets

Intangible assets remained nearly stable compared to prior year and were slightly effected by the first-time consolidation of HENSOLDT Cyber and the net increase in development cost.

The first time consolidation of HENSOLDT Cyber led to a goodwill of €14.0 million that was allocated to the segment Sensors. The purchase price allocation is preliminary.

Fair value measurement

The input factors used and the measurement methods applied are described in the year end Consolidated Financial Statements as at December 31, 2020.

21 Litigation and claims

The Group's companies are from time to time involved in various legal and arbitration proceedings in the ordinary course of its business, the most significant of which are described below. Other than as described below, the Group is not aware of any material governmental, legal or arbitration proceedings (including any such proceedings which are pending or threatened), which may have or have had in the reporting period significant effects on the Group's financial position or profitability.

In January 2020 a major customer filed an arbitration claim with the contractually agreed arbitration board regarding a partially fulfilled contract and demanded refund of payments already made (approximately €31.0 million plus interest) plus further costs and expenses. HENSOLDT considers the asserted claims to be without merit and filed an arbitration counterclaim in May 2020 asserting a claim for performance of the contract, i.e. for payment in accordance with the underlying contract (approximately €11.0 million plus interest). A sufficiently certain statement about the outcome of the arbitration proceedings is still not possible.

D Review Report

To HENSOLDT AG, Taufkirchen, District of Munich

We have reviewed the condensed interim consolidated financial statements of HENSOLDT AG, Taufkirchen, District of Munich – comprising the consolidated balance sheet as per June 30, 2021, the consolidated income statement, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of cash flows, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and selected notes to the condensed interim consolidated financial statements – together with the Interim Group Management Report of HENSOLDT AG, for the period from January 1 to June 30, 2021 that are part of the semi-annual financial report according to § 115 WpHG ['Wertpapierhandelsgesetz': 'German Securities Trading Act']. The preparation of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Accounting Standard IAS 34 'Interim Financial Reporting' as adopted by the EU, and of the interim group management report in accordance with the requirements of the WpHG applicable to interim group management reports, is the responsibility of the company's management. Our responsibility is to issue a report on the condensed interim consolidated financial statements and on the interim group management report based on our review.

We performed our review of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements and the interim group management report in accordance with the German generally accepted standards for the review of financial statements promulgated by the Institut der Wirtschaftsprüfer (IDW). Those standards require that we plan and perform the review so that we can preclude through critical evaluation, with a certain level of assurance, that the condensed interim consolidated financial statements have not been prepared, in material respects, in accordance with IAS 34, "Interim Financial Reporting" as adopted by the EU, and that the interim group management report has not been prepared, in material respects, in accordance with the requirements of the WpHG applicable to interim group management reports. A review is limited primarily to inquiries of company employees and analytical assessments and therefore does not provide the assurance attainable in a financial statement audit. Since, in accordance with our engagement, we have not performed a financial statement audit, we cannot issue an auditor's report.

Based on our review, no matters have come to our attention that cause us to presume that the condensed interim consolidated financial statements have not been prepared, in material respects, in accordance with IAS 34, 'Interim Financial Reporting' as adopted by the EU, or that the interim group management report has not been prepared, in material respects, in accordance with the requirements of the WpHG applicable to interim group management reports.
