CEO LETTER

For the second quarter of 2017, we experienced satisfactory growth, mainly as a result of the platforms where we supply parts to having higher production volumes than last year. As opposed to Q1, we had a better earnings "fall-through" of these additional revenues partly attributable to mix, but also due to some improvements in our operations. On an overall performance basis, at constant FX rates, our revenues are up significantly (11%) compared to Q2 2016. Our adjusted EBIT is up more than 54%, mainly driven by volume, but also by slightly better performance and lower engineering costs. The incremental earnings are somewhat short of what one would normally expect from such volume increase, primarily due to increased commodity prices.

On the restructuring front, we closed our Basildon facility. For a while, we will be supplying our customers out of our inventory banks that we built up prior to closing the Basildon facility. Late in Q3 2016, after we have received customer approvals for the new manufacturing processes and locations, we will start producing the "Basildon parts" in our receiving plants. For the Heiligenhaus facility, we concluded negotiations with the local works council, which enables us to go to the next step, which is to prepare for the transfers and build inventory banks for the transfer period. For the Rollag closure, we are slightly behind plan as one of our customers has unexpectedly increased volume demands, which reduces our ability to build safety stock for the transfer period.

The closing of the sale of our North American head- and armrest business as well as selling our small Basildon based architectural business practically concludes our portfolio "pruning".

Overall Performance and Market Conditions

Our overall Q2 revenues grew by MEUR 27.1 from MEUR 241.0 in the prior year to MEUR 268.1, a growth rate of 11.2% driven by volume increases, slightly and favorable currency translation effects partially offset by negative seasonality effects. The seasonality effect was driven by a reduced number of working days due to the timing of the Easter holidays compared to last year.

Adjusted EBIT for Q2 2017 vs. Q2 2016 grew by MEUR 4.9, a fall through of 18.1%. The fall through percentage was negatively impacted by increased commodity and raw material costs and certain ramp up costs related to our footprint consolidation activities that are not classified as restructuring costs.

Our overall market growth expectations for 2017 and 2018 as presented during our Capital Markets' Day in November 2016 were again largely confirmed in Q2 2017.

The quarterly global light vehicle production increased in H1 by 2.6% vs. prior year, mainly driven by the European 1.2% and Chinese +3.1% markets. North America decreased slightly by - 0.5%, South America was up by 15%.

Global Commercial Vehicle production up 20% in H1 2017, cooling down for H2, with a full year forecast for 2017 of 5% vs. prior year. Full year growth is mainly driven by the Chinese +5% and European +6% markets, in North America (class 8, > 15 tons) is slightly up +2.5%, class 4-7 is also expected to improve over 2017; South America will grow by 3%.

OUTLOOK

The underlying assumptions for our outlook is that there are no significant changes in market conditions and foreign exchange rates.

For the remainder of the year, we expect revenues 2-4% above last year's revenues. This is not an indication of volumes slowing down. Rather, it reflects that the market started ramping in the second half of last year and as we progress through the year, the year over year growth rates will decline somewhat. From an earnings standpoint, we remain committed to the CMD plan from November 2016.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS FIRST HALF-YEAR REPORT

Kongsberg Automotive continues to implement the Improvement Plan that was introduced at the 2016 Capital Markets Day and updated at the 2017 Annual General Meeting.

The objectives of this important initiative are to lower the company's structural costs, increase focus on individual product lines, and improve overall operational effectiveness. The board closely monitors progress and is pleased with the pace of implementation. The board would also like to thank the shareholders for the support expressed at the AGM for the many initiatives.

Although the near term focus is on implementing the Improvement Plan, Kongsberg Automotive remains committed to profitable growth. Profitable growth is the key to creating sustainable shareholder value. The reorganization was designed to improve business unit focus on growth opportunities in each of the product businesses. The business unit leaders are developing their plans.

The AGM approved a resolution authorizing a 15% increase in share capital in addition to the customary 10%. The purpose of this is to provide financing flexibility to support growth in the event that a highly strategic and accretive acquisition prospect should materialize. The additional 15% share increase would be used exclusively for acquisitions.

FINANCIALS

The revenues in the first half-year of 2017 amounted to MEUR 538.8 compared to MEUR 484.8 in the same period 2016, including positive currency translation effects of MEUR $6.0.$

EBIT was MEUR 19.6 versus MEUR 20.7 in the same period last year. Considering restructuring cost of MEUR -7.8 adjusted EBIT for the first half-year of 2017 was MEUR 27.4, an increase of MEUR 6.7 compared to the first half-year of 2016. A negative swing in net financial cost mainly due to currency effects and an increase in income taxes lead to net profit of MEUR 3,1 versus MEUR 18.7 last year.

OUR MARKETS

Macroeconomic Summary

The global economy remains on course for an acceleration in growth this year: GDP growth could rise to 2.7%, from 2.3% in 2016. We assume that this improvement will continue into 2018, with a 3% rate of growth a central projection. The US economy passed through a soft patch in the first quarter of the year, but looks well placed to improve beyond the second quarter as consumers begin to drive progress. Economic activity in Europe has continued to surprise on the upside recently, leading to upward adjustments from a range of economic forecasters. The macroeconomic outlooks in both China and India have improved marginally during the quarter.

Global Light Vehicle production

The first half year was up by +2.6% (4.3 million vehicles) in 2017 versus 2016 (46.9). This is due to growth in Europe +1.2%, growth in China +3.1% and a slight decline in North America - 0.5%. South America is up by +15%.

Expected global growth for FY 2017 is 1.8% YoY, from 93.1 million units to 94.8. This means for Europe +2.8%, China +1.0%, Japan/Korea +4%, North America -1.6% and South America +10%.

Commercial Vehicles - Key Developments

Global CV demand is expected to rise by 5%. The regional balance continues to shift towards the emerging markets with a solid start to the year in Asia, combined with emerging recoveries in Latin America and Eastern Europe.

The first half year was up 20%, cooling down for H2, with a full year forecast for 2017 of 5% versus prior year.

Expected FY growth is mainly driven by the Chinese (+5%) and European (+6%) market, in North America class 8 (> 15 tons) is slightly up (+2.5%), class 4-7 is also expected to improve over 2017; South America will grow by 3%.

RISKS

Kongsberg Automotive continuously monitors its risk factors. The most important risk exposure is end market demand for light duty and commercial vehicles worldwide. Some of the most important additional risk factors are foreign-exchange rates, interest rates, raw material prices, and credit risks. Because Kongsberg Automotive operates in many countries, it is vulnerable to currency risk. The most significant currency exposure for Kongsberg Automotive is associated with EUR and USD exchange rates. The greatest material exposures are within plastic resin, copper, zinc, aluminum and steel. Credit risk depends on the financial health of vehicle manufacturers and their tier-1 and -2 suppliers.

SHARE AND SHAREHOLDERS

During the first half year, the share price has increased from NOK 5.67 to 7.40. The total number of shareholders is 3,569. The total number of shares is 406.8 million. 55% of the shares were held by foreign shareholders.

REVENUES

Revenues for the Group amounted to MEUR 268.1 in the second quarter of 2017. The revenues were MEUR 27.1 (11.2%) above the comparable period last year, including positive currency translation effects of MEUR 0.6. The higher revenues related to both product and non-product revenues. All three segments contributed to that increase in revenues.

In the Interior Systems segment, which serves the passenger car end market, revenues increased by MEUR 4.8 (8.1%) compared to the second quarter of 2016, including positive currency translation effect of MEUR 1.5. The revenue increase was due to growth in both the European and Chinese Comfort business, partly offset by a decrease in the North American Light Duty Cable business.

In the Powertrain & Chassis segment, which serves both the passenger car and commercial vehicle end markets, revenues increased by MEUR 14.4 (16.0%) compared to the
same quarter in 2016, including positive currency
translation effect of MEUR 0.1. The revenue increase came from the European, American and Chinese business. The sales growth in Europe is mainly related to programs for shift systems in the passenger car business, the vehicle dynamics business and commercial vehicle business. The sales growth in China is mainly related to new programs for shift systems for the passenger car business.

In the Specialty Products segment, which serves both the
passenger car and commercial vehicle end markets,
revenues increased by MEUR 7.3 (7.9%) compared to the same quarter in 2016, including negative currency
translation effect of MEUR -1.0. Growth in the fluid handling systems, for the automotive and commercial vehicle business in Europe, and for industrial business in
the Americas, as well as couplings sales in the commercial vehicle business contributed to that. The off-highway sales increased mainly related to the North American Construction & Agriculture, and Power Sports markets.

EBIT

Adjusted EBIT for the Group was MEUR 13.9 in the second quarter of 2017, an increase of MEUR 4.9 (54.8%) compared to the second quarter of 2016. The effects of higher volumes and lower R&D costs (EUR 2.2 MEUR) were partially offset by increased raw material costs, production relocation costs and start-up costs.

NET FINANCIAL ITEMS

Net financial costs (see note 4.1) were MEUR -5.4 in the second quarter of 2017, compared to MEUR -0.5 in the same period in 2016, an increase of MEUR 4.9. Unrealized and realized currency effects and increased interest expenses due to the new banker waiver contributed to the change.

PROFIT BEFORE TAX / NET PROFIT

Profit before tax amounted to MEUR 7.3 in the second quarter of 2017, a decrease of MEUR 1.2 compared to the same quarter in 2016. The positive change in operating profit was more than offset by the negative change in net financial items. The income tax reflects the expectation that losses due to restructuring expenses will not be tax deductible in their full amounts.

CASH FLOW FROM OPERATING ACTIVITIES

Cash flow from operating activities decreased by MEUR 3.7 to MEUR 22.2 in the second quarter of 2017 compared to the same quarter last year. The decrease was primarily driven by increased net working capital and an increase in taxes paid, partially offset by the increase in EBITDA. Restructuring costs had little cash effect in the quarter.

CASH FLOW FROM INVESTING ACTIVITIES

Net cash flow from investing activities amounted to MEUR -11.2 in the second quarter of 2017, MEUR 0.4 less than the comparable quarter last year. MEUR 11.9 were invested in capacity expansions to accommodate current and future manufacturing requirements and maintenance investments. This was partially offset by the proceeds from sale of assets of MEUR 0.7.

CASH FLOW FROM FINANCING ACTIVITIES

Net cash flow from financing activities was MEUR -9.7 in the second quarter, compared to MEUR -11.3 in the comparable quarter last year. The decrease was driven by lower debt repayments, partially offset by purchase of treasury shares (as opposed to proceeds from sale of treasury shares last year), and higher interest payments.

Net repayment of debt amounted to MEUR 6.3 in the second quarter, compared to net repayment of debt of MEUR 9.8 in the same period last year. Interest payments in the second quarter was MEUR 2.4, an increase of MEUR 0.6 compared to MEUR 1.8 in the same period last year. The increased interest margins due to the new bank waiver drove the change in interest payments. Purchase of treasury shares amounted to MEUR 1.0 compared to sale of treasury shares of MEUR 0.3 in the second quarter last year.

CHANGE IN CASH

Cash increased by MEUR 0.1 during the second quarter, resulting in cash of MEUR 32.3 at the end of the quarter.

LIQUIDITY RESERVE

The liquidity reserve was MEUR 138.3 at the end of the second quarter, compared to MEUR 140.8 at year-end 2016. The change relates to negative currency effects, partially offset by a positive free cash flow. See note 3.4 for more information.

ASSETS

Total assets were MEUR 702.4 at the end of the second quarter, an increase of MEUR 10.8 from year-end 2016. The increase was due to an increase in working capital and net investments, partially offset by amortization of intangible assets. Seasonality and a higher level of revenues were the main driver behind the increase in net working capital.

EOUITY

From year-end equity decreased by MEUR 1.9 to MEUR 206.7. The main drivers were net negative currency translation effects of MEUR 4.3 and purchase of treasury shares, partially offset by the positive net profit for the period of MEUR 3.1. The equity ratio decreased by 0.7 percentage points to 29.4%..

INTEREST BEARING DEBT

Long-term interest bearing debt amounted to MEUR 225.9 at the end of the second quarter, a decrease of MEUR 12.5 compared to year-end 2016. Net debt repayments and positive currency translation effects of MEUR 6.0, contributed to that decrease.

NET INTEREST BEARING DEBT

At the end of the second quarter 2017, net interest bearing debt amounted to MEUR 193.6, a decrease of MEUR 10.3 compared to year-end 2016. This is due to positive currency effects and a positive free cash flow (free cash flow before debt repayment).

MEUR 129.4, an increase of 7.5% from 2016.

Adjusted EBIT was MEUR 1.8 in the second quarter, a decrease of MEUR -2.2 compared to the second quarter 2016. The adjusted EBIT margin decreased by -4.0 percentage points to 2.9%. The negative change in EBIT was related to increased industrialization costs, additional sales givebacks and rebates, as well as one-off costs related to suppliers issues, partially offset by the higher sales volume, operational improvements and lower R&D expense (MEUR 1.4). Adjusted EBIT for the first half year decreased by MEUR 2.6 (-28.0%) over last year.

FINANCIAL UPDATE

Special Products Revenues increased by MEUR 7.3 (7.9%) to MEUR 99.6 in the second quarter 2017 compared to the same quarter in 2016, including a negative currency effect of MEUR -1.0. The revenue increase was due to growth in Europe for Fig. The revenue interesse was out to general the fluid handling systems, both for the automotive and commercial vehicle business, and couplings sales in the commercial vehicle business. The off-highway sales increased mai & Agriculture, and Power Sports markets. Revenues for the first half year amounted to MEUR 202.5, an increase of 6.8% from 2016.

Adjusted EBIT was MEUR 14.6 in the second quarter, an increase of MEUR 4.1 compared to the second quarter 2016. The adjusted EBIT margin increased by 3.3 percentage points to 14.6%.

The increase reflects the higher sales volume, a favorable product mix, positive impact from sale of assets, a reduction in fixed costs and lower R&D costs (MEUR 1.3), partially offset by increased raw material costs.

Share of Group Q2 2017 revenues

In the second quarter total business awards amounted to MEUR 28.1 in annual sales. Sales opportunities and quoting activity remain robust. To sustainably enhance efficiency and reduce fixed cost levels the closure and transfer of activities from the Heiligenhaus (Germany) facility continues.

Free Cash Flow

Free cash flow from operations (FCF), investments and finance excluding debt repayments.

Why we measure

Free Cash Flow is used in order to measure the Group's ability to generate cash. It allows the Group to view how much cash it generates from its operations after subtracting the cash flow from investing activities and financing excluding debt repayments. We believe this shows how much money the Group has to pursue additional investments or to repay debt.

Free Cash Flow 3.7 6.1 13.7

NIBD

Net interesting bearing debt (NIBD), consists of interest-bearing liabilities less cash and cash equivalents.

Why we measure

The Group risk of default and financial strength is measured by the net interesting bearing debt, it shows the Group's financial position and leverage. Since the cash can be used to repay debt, the interest-bearing liabilities less cash shows the net overall financial position. The measure is useful information for investors as well as the Group.

Capital Employed

Capital Employed (CE) is equal to operating assets less operating liabilities. Operating assets and liabilities are assets which are involved in the process of selling goods and services, the business. Financial assets and obligations are excluded, these assets are involved in raising cash for operations and disbursing excess cash from operations.

Why we measure

Capital employed is measured in order to assess how much capital is needed for the operations/business to function. In order to evaluate if the capital employed can be utilized more efficient and if operations should be discontinued. The capital employed is also used to measure the profitability of the operations compared to the capital employed.

Reconciliation (The table shows continuing business only.)

ROCE (Last twelve Months)

Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) is equal to EBIT for the last twelve months divided by the average of capital employed at beginning period and period end.

Why we measure

Return on Capital Employed is used to measure the return on the capital employed without taking into consideration the way the operations and assets are financed during the period under review. The Group believes this is a good measure for the results from the period.

The table shows continuing business only.

Gearing ratio / Adjusted Gearing Ratio

Gearing ratio is calculated as the net interest bearing debt divided by the last twelve months EBITDA, adjusted for restructuring costs.

Why we measure

Gearing ratio is a covenant from the Group's lenders which sets the interest margin on the Group's debt. The Group also believe this is a good measure of the Groups financial gearing and financial position.

RISK

Kongsberg Automotive continuously monitors its risk factors. Our activities are exposed to different types of risk.

The single most important risk that Kongsberg Automotive is exposed to is the development of demand in the end markets for light duty and commercial vehicles worldwide. Some of the most important additional risk factors are foreign-exchange rates, interest rates, raw material prices, and credit risks. As we operate in many countries, we are vulnerable to currency risk. The most significant currency exposure for Kongsberg Automotive is associated with MEUR and USD exchange rate. The greatest raw material exposures are for copper, zinc, aluminum and steel. As most of our revenues are earned from automotive OEMs and automotive tier-1 and -2 customers, the financial health of these automotive companies is critical to our credit risk.

SEASONALITY

The Group quarterly results are to some extent influenced by seasonality. The seasonality is mainly driven by the vacation period in the third quarter and December each year having lower sales. Also, year-over-year seasonality differences may occur as a result of varying number of working days in each quarter.
