FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AND NON-IFRS MEASURES

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This presentation contains certain "forward-looking statements". These statements are based on management's current expectations and are subject to risks, uncertainty and changes in circumstances, which may cause actual results, performance, financial condition or achievements to differ materially from anticipated results, performance, financial condition or achievements. All statements contained herein that are not clearly historical in nature are forward-looking and the words "anticipate," "believe," "expect," "estimate," "plan," and similar expressions are generally intended to identify forward-looking statements. We have no intention and are under no obligation to update or alter (and expressly disclaim any such intention or obligation to do so) our forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except to the extent required by law. The forward-looking statements in this presentation include statements addressing our future financial condition and operating results. Examples of factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements include, among others, business, economic, competitive and regulatory risks, such as conditions affecting demand for products, particularly in the automotive industries; competition and pricing pressure; fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices; natural disasters and political, economic and military instability in countries in which we operate; developments in the credit markets; future goodwill impairment; compliance with current and future environmental and other laws and regulations; and the possible effects on us of changes in tax laws, tax treaties and other legislation. More detailed information about these and other factors is set forth in the 2020 Kongsberg Automotive Annual Report and the Kongsberg Automotive Quarterly Reports.

TRANSFORMATION OF THE AUTOMOTIVE SECTOR: TRENDS AND OPPORTUNITIES DR. CHRISTIAN AMSEL, CTO

DEC 9, 2021

CASE THEMES STILL THE DRIVER FOR THE AUTOMOTIVE TRANSFORMATION

"CASE themes continue to drive the Automotive Transformation – ELECTRIC currently has greatest impact"

*) Smart Mobility describes a transportation ecosystem where stakeholders use data and connectivity to move people and goods sustainably and efficiently.

Shared mobility remains as a sub-segment and an important value pool in this ecosystem focusing on people transport with passenger vehicles.

TRANSFORMATION OF THE AUTOMOTIVE SECTOR IS HAPPENING EVERYWHERE, BUT AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS. ELECTRIC HAS GREATEST IMPACT

  • With rising number of car-subscription offerings, share-active (e.g. rental subscription) is expected to grow strongest in Europe (10% of total km by 2025), while shared-passive (e.g. ride hailing) is expected to grow significantly more in China (10%) vs. USA or Europe 1-3%).
  • Vehicle connectivity is advancing, with 50% of total parc connected in Europe by 2025, US by 2023, China by 2029
  • While OEMs are reaching a critical size with their connected service customer base, they will struggle with reliable service at scale (over-the-
  • E-mobility is at an inflection point in Europe, driven by strong government drive (incentives and regulation), with 27% BEV shares of new car sales in 2025 – ahead of China (19%), US (6%).
  • Slow charging infrastructure build-up will soon become the biggest
  • Automated driving will enter the market in passenger transport with a range of specific use cases that are difficult to scale.
  • L4 share of new cars at 14-15% by 2035 in Europe & China.
  • Industrial and logistics applications likely to grow faster.

3 MAJOR DRIVING FORCES ARE INFLUENCING THE TRANSFORMATION SPEED DRIVEN BY ELECTRIC. MAIN CHALLENGES:

By the end of the decade BEVs will be the most effective powertrain solution for almost all Light Vehicle (LV) segments

CONSUMERS

  • Range anxiety and charging options are the biggest obstacles to buy an electric car

  • Further aspects are:

  • Availability of Electric vehicles at the dealer

  • Costs

  • Performance

  • Image

TECHNOLOGY

  • Battery Electric

  • Efficiency improvement and cost reductions

  • High voltage system and architecture for development, production and service

  • High voltage battery: system design and cell innovation

  • Fuel Cell

  • "Green" hydrogen and charging infrastructure

  • Stack and tank optimization

ACCELERATION

REGULATION

  • EC adopted a package under European Green Deal (07/21) aiming for climate neutral in 2030

  • EC promoting alternative fuels infrastructure … and Strategic Roll Out Plan

  • China New Energy Vehicle Industrial Development Plan (2021-35) (10/20)

  • US lagging behind but recently measures to accelerate charging infrastructure

LEGISLATION IS GOING TO ACCELERATE THE TRANSFORMATION, EXAMPLE OF EUROPEAN COMMISSION: SIGNIFICANT INCREASE OF CO2 FLEET TARGETS

  • > Top-Down simulations show that further strengthening of the CO2 reduction targets is needed until 2030 to achieve the wholistic climate neutral target in 2050:
    • » LV -37,5% ➔ -55% (70g/km)
    • » LCV -31,0% ➔ -50%
    • » HDT: -30,0% in discussion
    • » 2035: -100% what is more or less "STOP of ICE Technology" for new vehicles!
  • > What is the approach to achieve the targets?
    • » Efficiency improvements (48V architecture, CNG and LPG, hybridization, recuperation, …)
    • » Emission free drive trains
      • PHEV as accelerator
      • Push for synthetic ("E-Fuels") and Bio-Fuels as interim solution but no long-term approach
      • › FCEV for specific LV, LCV and HDT applications

BEV = Battery Electric Vehicle PHEV = Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle FCEV = Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle

LCV = Light Commercial Vehicle < 6t HDT = Heavy Duty Truck ZLEV – Zero and Low emitting vehicles

AS PART OF OUR PORTFOLIO MODERNIZATION, WE HAVE MADE A STRUCTURED ASSESSMENT OF THE DIFFERENT SEGMENTS

  • General market size and margin potential as representation for financial attractiveness

  • Fit to KA's current customers and technical capabilities as indicator for chances to reach aspired TOP 3 position

  • Technical change until 2030

  • Innovation involves uncertainty – we are managing our risk using a structured methodology, ensuring a cost-efficient development process

  • We have identified areas where there will be a

    • » high degree of technical change,
    • » high margin potential and a
    • » good fit to our existing technology, production and customer base
  • Major disruptions act as door opener for suppliers to access new clients and segments

AS PART OF OUR PORTFOLIO MODERNIZATION, WE SELECTED THE MOST PROMISING PRODUCTS FOR KA

  • The chosen structured methodology led to a longlist with more than 120 ideas for KA

  • A stringent prioritization of the longlist clustered into:

    • "Bold Moves",

    • "Logical Extensions" and

    • "Low Hanging Fruits"

  • led to 3 growth trajectories in the areas of

    • Thermal Management Systems,

    • Electric Power Steering and

    • Actuators for Truck E-axle Reducers

  • All growths initiatives will be performed as Innovation Cells in order to minimize Time-to-Market

FINANCIAL TARGETS

MAIN FINANCIAL PILLARS TO SUPPORT THE NEW KA

PROFITABLE Growth

Our long-term goal is to be "second to none" in the sectors where we operate

> This is supported by recent divestments of lowermargin, capex-intensive business

INNOVATIVE Growth

  • We will reach this goal through targeted growth in high-margin sectors

  • Finance supports the innovation process by setting and monitoring important metrics

MANAGED Growth

  • Without careful management of liquidity and leverage, our growth and profitability targets will be jeopardized

  • Avoiding negative liquidity events is key to preserving and growing shareholder value

THE DIVESTMENTS WE HAVE MADE WILL IMPROVE MOST OF OUR KEY METRICS

SELECTED LINE ITEMS PRE-DIVESTMENT POST-DIVESTMENT CHANGE
P&L Sales 1,150 822 (29%)
CM (%) 34 % 35 % +3%
GM (%) 20 % 22 % +8%
