CEO LETTER

Q1 in the automotive supply industry is traditionally a quarter that to a large extent sets the tone for the full year. I am delighted by the continued strong markets in the quarter as well as our ability to continue to perform operationally at the same time as we have initiated multiple improvement initiatives. We continue to be committed to our plan that we presented at our Capital Markets' Day.

Overall Performance and Market Conditions

Our overall Q1 revenues grew by MEUR 26.9 from MEUR 243.8 in the prior year to MEUR 270.7, a growth rate of 11%. The largest single driver for this growth was increased volumes for the vehicle platforms of our customers where we have content, although we also experienced growth due to increased non-product sales (mostly tooling), favorable currency translation effects, and seasonality. The seasonality effect was driven by additional working days in Q1 2017 vs. 2016 as the Easter holiday period fell in Q1 in 2016, and in 2017 Easter falls in Q2. Adjusted EBIT for Q1 2017 vs. Q1 2016 grew by MEUR 1.7, a fall through of 6.5%. The fall through percentage was negatively impacted by increasing commodity raw material costs, increased non-product sales, and certain ramp up costs related to our footprint consolidation activities that are not classified as restructuring costs. Our performance improvement and cost reduction plans will increase our fall through percentage in the future by improving overall company efficiencies and performance.

Our overall market growth expectations for 2017 and 2018 as presented during our Capital Markets' Day in November 2016 were confirmed in Q1 2017.

The quarterly global light duty vehicle production increased by 2.4% vs. prior year, mainly driven by the European (5.3%) and North American (2.3%) markets where KA has its biggest revenue base. Light duty vehicle production in China was virtually flat in Q1.

The quarterly global commercial vehicle production increased by 10% vs. prior year, mainly driven by the Chinese (35.7%) and European (8%) markets. Commercial vehicle production in North America declined by 17.5%.

Organizational Structure

The new Business Segment Structure has been implemented: Interior, Powertrain & Chassis Products, and Specialty Products. Each of the new Business Segments has dedicated, own leadership teams to manage the very different sets of challenges and opportunities, each segment is facing. The new Business Segment structure will enable the KA to perform better, both in the short and long-term.

The new Business segments are:

Interior

The Interior Segment consists of Interior Comfort Systems (ICS) and the Light Duty Cable (LDC) businesses.

Powertrain & Chassis Products (P&C)

P&C consists of our passenger car and heavy duty/truck/bus businesses within powertrain and chassis products.

Specialty Products

The Specialty Products segment consists of niche products with a strong entrepreneurial focus on innovation and fitment rates. The business units within the Specialty Products segment consists of Couplings, Fluid Transfer Systems, Off Highway, and New Products.

A new organizational structure centered around the new corporate headquarters with the Group CEO, CFO and senior Business segment leadership positions in Switzerland, has been implemented. We are still in transition to transfer certain additional functions from other KA locations into the new Zürich office.

Restructuring Activities and Footprint Rationalization

During Q1, we made further progress in the implementation of our restructuring plan. Specifically, we made further headway with our previously announced closure of our Rollag facility in Norway and the Basildon facility in the UK which was announced late last year. In March 2017, we announced that we had entered into negotiations relating to the proposed closure of our Heiligenhaus facility in Germany. Overall, we are on track with our restructuring plans that we presented in our Capital Markets' Day in November 2017.

REVENUES

Revenues for the Group amounted to MEUR 270.7 in the first quarter of 2017. The revenues were MEUR 26.9 (11%) above the comparable period last year, including positive currency translation effect of MEUR 5.4. On a constant currency basis, product revenues increased by 5.2% year over year. The higher revenues related to both product revenues and non-product revenues. On a constant currency basis, all three segments contributed to the increase in revenues.

In the Interior segment, which serves the passenger car end market, revenues increased by MEUR 4.2 (6.7%) compared to the first quarter of 2016, including positive currency translation effect of MEUR 1.0. 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 17.8 (21.0%) compared to the same quarter in 2016, including positive currency translation effect of MEUR 2.3. The revenue increase came from both the European and Chinese product revenues as well as from non-product revenues. The sales growth in Europe mainly related to new programs in the passenger car business for shift systems, and vehicle dynamics sales in the commercial vehicle business. The sales growth in China mainly related to shift systems to the passenger car business.

In the Specialty Products segment, which serves both the passenger car and commercial vehicle end markets, revenues increased by MEUR 5.6 (5.8%) compared to the same quarter in 2016, including positive currency translation effect of MEUR 2.0. The revenue increase was due to growth in Europe for the fluid handling systems, both for the automotive and commercial vehicle business, and coupling sales in the commercial vehicle business. The offhighway sales declined mainly related to the Outdoor Power Equipment and North American recreational vehicle businesses.

EBIT

Adjusted EBIT for the Group was MEUR 13.5 in the first quarter of 2017, an increase of MEUR 1.7 (14.8%) compared to first quarter of 2016. The effects of higher volumes and operational improvements were partially offset by production relocation costs and increased raw material cost for metal and plastic products.

NET FINANCIAL ITEMS

Net financial costs (see note 4.1) were MEUR -2.6 in the first quarter of 2017, compared to positive MEUR 7.1 in the same period in 2016, in total an increase of MEUR 9.7. Whereas significant positive unrealized currency gains contributed to the net financial income last year, these were minor this year. Increased interest expenses, due to the new bank waiver, also contributed to the change.

PROFIT BEFORE TAX / NET PROFIT

Profit before tax amounted to MEUR 4.2 in the first quarter of 2017, while it amounted to MEUR 18.7 in the same quarter last year. This decrease of MEUR -14.6 was primarily caused by restructuring expenses of MEUR 6.6 in 2017, and an increase of net financial cost of MEUR 9.7 which was offset by an improvement in adjusted EBIT of MEUR 1.8. Income tax in the first quarter reflects the expectation that tax losses due to restructuring expenses will not be recoverable at full amount.

CASH FLOW FROM OPERATING ACTIVITIES

Cash flow from operating activities increased by MEUR 3.1 to MEUR 6.4 in the first quarter of 2017 compared to the same quarter last year. The increase was mainly driven by a positive change in net working capital and an increase in adjusted EBITDA. Restructuring costs had no cash effect in the quarter.

CASH FLOW FROM INVESTING ACTIVITIES

Net cash flow from investing activities amounted to MEUR -7.9 in the first quarter of 2017, MEUR 0.4 less than the comparable quarter last year. MEUR 10.3 was invested in capacity expansions to accommodate current and future manufacturing requirements and maintenance investments. This was partially offset by the proceeds from sale of the headrest/armrest business of MEUR 2.2,

CASH FLOW FROM FINANCING ACTIVITIES

Net cash flow from financing activities was MEUR -0.6 in the first quarter, compared to MEUR -10.4 in the comparable quarter last year. The change is caused by lower debt repayments.

Borrowing amounted to MEUR 1.7 in the first quarter, compared to debt repayment of MEUR 8.6 in same period last year. Interest payments in the first quarter was MEUR 2.3, compared to MEUR 1.8 in the same period last year due to the new bank waiver.

CHANGE IN CASH

Cash decreased by MEUR -2.4 during the first quarter, resulting in cash of MEUR 32.2 at the end of the quarter.

LIQUIDITY RESERVE

The liquidity reserve was MEUR 135.9 at the end of the first quarter, compared to MEUR 140.8 at year-end 2016. The change relates to the negative free cash flow and negative currency effects. See note 3.4 for more information.

ASSETS

Total assets were MEUR 726.5 at the end of the first quarter, an increase of MEUR 34.9 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 was the main driver behind the increase in net working capital.

EQUITY

Total equity increased by MEUR 2.9 to MEUR 211.5 in 2017. The main drivers were positive currency translation effects and the net profit for the period of MEUR 0.2. The equity ratio decreased by 1.0 percentage points to 29.1 percentage points.

INTEREST BEARING DEBT

Long-term interest bearing debt amounted to MEUR 237.4 at the end of the first quarter, a decrease of MEUR 1.0 since year-end. The change primarily reflects positive currency effects of MEUR 1.5 and capitalized fees related to the exercise of the option to extend the termination date, partially offset by borrowing.

At the end of the first quarter, 2017, net interest bearing debt amounted to MEUR 206.1, an increase of MEUR 2.3 compared to year-end 2016. The increase was due to a negative free cash flow (free cash flow before debt repayment), partially offset by net positive currency effects.

FINANCIAL UPDATE

Adjusted EBIT was MEUR 4.8 in the first quarter, a decrease of MEUR 0.4 compared to the first quarter 2016. The change in EBIT was related to one-off costs and increased R&D efforts (MEUR 0.4), partially offset by the higher sales volume and operational improvements.

The revenue increase relates partially to positive currency translation effects, more working days in Q1 2017 versus Q2 2016 and to market effects from both, the European and Chinese business, and non-product revenues. The sales growth in Europe was positively influenced by new programs in the passenger car business for shift systems, and vehicle dynamics sales in the commercial vehicle business.The sales growth in China mainly relates to new programs for shift systems to the passenger car business.

Alternative Performance Measures (APM)

This section describes the non-GAAP financial measures that are used in this report and in the quarterly presentation. The following measures are not defined or specified in the applicable financial reporting framework, the IFRS GAAP. They may be considered non-GAAP financial measures that may include or exclude amounts that are calculated and presented according to the IFRS GAAP.

  • EBIT/Adjusted EBIT
  • EBITDA/Adjusted EBITDA
  • Free Cash Flow
  • NIBD
  • Capital Employed
  • ROCE
  • Gearing Ratio/Adjusted Gearing Ratio
  • Restructuring per segment

EBIT/Adjusted EBIT

EBIT, earnings before interest and tax, is defined as the earnings excluding the effects from how the operations were financed, taxed and excluding foreign exchange gains & losses. EBIT adjusted is defined as EBIT excluding restructuring. Restructuring costs is defined, as any incurred and payable costs of an unusual or non-recurring nature in connection with the contemplated restructuring of the activities of the Group.

Why we measure

EBIT is used as a measure to view the Group's operational profitability. In order to view the running business, as usual, the Group also lists the adjusted EBIT, the EBIT excluding restructuring costs.

Reconciliation

See the section Condensed Financial Statements for a reconciliation of the EBIT measure. See below for a reconciliation of the adjusted EBIT.

Adjusted EBIT Q1 2017 Q1 2016 FY 2016
EBIT (1) 6.9 12.6 17.6
Restructuring costs (2) 6.6 0.0 10.0
Adjusted EBIT, (1) + (2) 13.5 12.6 27.7

The table shows continuing business only.

EBITDA/Adjusted EBITDA

Earnings before interest expenses and interest income, tax, depreciation, amortization and excluding foreign exchange gains and losses. EBITDA adjusted is defined as EBITDA excluding restructuring costs.

Why we measure

EBITDA is used as an additional measure the view the Group's operational profitability, excluding the timing impact from depreciations and amortizations.

Reconciliation

See the section Condensed Financial Statements for a reconciliation of the measure. See below for the reconciliation of the adjusted EBITDA.

Adjusted EBITDA Q1 2017 Q1 2016 FY 2016
EBITDA (1) 18.0 23.1 60.1
Restructuring costs (2)* 6.3 0.0 9.6
Adjusted EBITDA, (1) + (2) 24.3 23.1 69.7

The table shows continuing business only.

* Excluding impairment, depreciation and amortization.

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.

Reconciliation

Free Cash Flow (MEUR) from reported cash flow statement 31.03.2017 31.03.2016 31.12.2016
Cash flow from operating activities 6.4 3.4 70.8
Cash flow from investing activities (7.9) (8.3) (50.5)
Cash flow from financing activities (0.6) (10.4) (26.4)
Net repayment of debt (1.7) 8.6 19.8
Free Cash Flow (3.9) (6.8) 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.

Reconciliation

Net Interest Bearing Debt (MEUR) from reported balance sheet 31.03.2017 31.03.2016 31.12.2016

Bank overdraft 0.9 6.8 0.0
Cash and cash equivalents 32.2 24.0 34.6
Net Interesting Bearing Debt 206.1 216.2 203.9

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
Capital Employed (MEUR) from reported balance sheet 31.03.2017 31.03.2016 31.12.2016

Capital Employed 449.0 449.9 447.0

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.

Reconciliation

Return on Capital Employed 31.03.2017
Capital Employed at period beginning (1) 31.03.2016 449.9
Capital Employed at period end (2) 31.03.2017 449.0
Adjusted EBIT last twelve months (3) 29.4
ROCE, (3) / ((1) +( 2)/2) 6.5%

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.

Reconciliation – incl. all restructuring costs LTM

Adjusted Gearing Ratio 31.03.2017

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 foreignexchange 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.
