REVENUES

Revenues for the Group amounted to MEUR 294.3 in the second quarter of 2019, and were MEUR 6.8 (+2.4%) above the same period last year, including positive currency translation effects of MEUR 3.7. This increase was driven by both Interior Comfort Systems and Powertrain & Chassis.

In the Interior segment, which serves the passenger car end markets, revenues increased by MEUR 3.5 (+4.9%) compared to the second quarter of 2018, including positive currency translation effects of MEUR 1.1. The revenue growth was driven by the Interior Comfort System business, which grew by 9.9% in comparison with Q2 2018, mainly due to new programs in North America. However, this increase was partially offset by a marketdriven decline in the Light Duty Cable business across all regions.

In the Powertrain & Chassis segment, which serves the passenger car and commercial vehicle end markets, revenues increased by MEUR 3.3 (+2.9%) compared to the same quarter in 2018, including positive currency translation effects of MEUR 1.1. The growth was mainly driven by the sales to the Chinese OEMs despite the recent overall decline in the Chinese passenger car market.

In the Specialty Products segment, which serves the passenger car, commercial vehicle end markets and general industrial customers, revenues were at the same level as in the second quarter 2018, including positive currency translation effects of MEUR 1.5.

ADJUSTED EBIT / EBIT

Adjusted EBIT for the Group was MEUR 20.4 in the second quarter of 2019, a decrease of MEUR 0.4 compared to the second quarter of 2018. The effects of higher volumes and operational improvements were offset by increased Mexican labor cost, increased custom duties, in addition to unfavorable product and market mix.

Including restructuring cost of MEUR 1.2, operating profit in Q2 2019 amounted to MEUR 19.2, compared to MEUR 15.0 in Q2 2018.

First adoption of the new IFRS 16 standard had a positive impact of MEUR 0.8 on the Group operating profit in Q2 2019 (see Note 2).

NET FINANCIAL ITEMS

Net financial items came to an expense of MEUR 5.8 in the second quarter of 2019, compared to an expense of MEUR 7.6 in the same period in 2018 (see Note 7).

The main driver was higher refinancing-related interest expenses of MEUR 3.9 following the issuance of the bond in July 2018, compared to MEUR 2.6 during the same period last year. The adoption of the new IFRS 16 standard also resulted in MEUR 1.2 additional interest expenses (see Note 2).

PROFIT BEFORE TAX /NET PROFIT

Profit before tax amounted to MEUR 13.5 in the second quarter of 2019, an improvement of MEUR 6.1 compared to the same quarter in 2018. Net profit increased by MEUR 0.7 and amounted to MEUR 4.9 as per Q2 2019. Income tax expense was heavily impacted by prior year effects.

CASH FLOW FROM OPERATING ACTIVITIES

Cash from by operating activities decreased by MEUR 30.0 in comparison with the same quarter last year. The decrease was primarily driven by tax payments and an increase of net working capital due to sales growth.

Restructuring had a negative cash effect of MEUR 1.3 in the quarter.

In connection with first adoption of IFRS 16 the lease payments are split into interest and reduction of lease liabilities, negatively impacting the financing cash flow but positively impacting operating cash flow by MEUR 3.8 during the quarter (see Note 2).

CASH FLOW USED IN INVESTING ACTIVITIES

Cash used in investing activities amounted to MEUR 16.3 in the second quarter of 2019, MEUR 2.0 less than the same quarter last year. Investments continued to be made in capacity expansions to accommodate current and future business growth, along with some maintenance investments.

CASH FLOW FROM FINANCING ACTIVITIES

Cash generated by financing activities was MEUR 6.3 in the second quarter, compared to MEUR 13.2 used in the same quarter last year.

The net draw of debt in the second quarter amounted to MEUR 10.0, compared to a repayment of MEUR 10.3 in the same period last year.

Interest payments in the second quarter of 2019 amounted to MEUR 1.8, whereas interest payments amounted to MEUR 2.7 last year for the same period. Those payments include IFRS 16 lease interest payments of MEUR 1.2 (see Note 2).

CHANGE IN CASH

Cash increased by MEUR 3.0 during the second quarter, resulting in a cash position of MEUR 35.6 at the end of the quarter, compared to the balance at the end of last year of MEUR 59.2.

LIQUIDITY RESERVE

The liquidity reserve was MEUR 75.2 at the end of the second quarter, compared to MEUR 109.1 at year-end 2018. As at June 30, 2019, an amount of MEUR 10.0 was drawn under the revolving credit facility after a temporary utilization of MEUR 15.0 during the quarter.

ASSETS

Total assets were MEUR 933.3 at the end of the second quarter, an increase of MEUR 113.1 from year-end 2018.

The significant growth in assets is mainly resulting from the adoption of the new IFRS 16 standard with MEUR 101.3 additional right-of-use assets (see Note 2).

EQUITY

Equity as of June 30, 2019 increased by MEUR 20.2 (8.0%) to MEUR 273.7 in comparison with December 31, 2018.

The net profit for the year of MEUR 18.7 contributed to the equity increase.

The share capital increase by NOK 273.034,5 as resolved by Annual General Meeting 15 May 2019 had not been registered yet.

The equity ratio decreased by 1.6 percentage points to 29.3% mainly due to the first adoption of IFRS 16.

INTEREST BEARING LIABILITIES

Interest-bearing liabilities amounted to MEUR 382.3 comprising the issued bond of MEUR 275.0, the capitalized fees of MEUR 6.3, IFRS 16 lease interest-bearing liabilities of MEUR 102.2 and MEUR 10.0 drawn under the revolving facility.

As at December 31, 2018, long-term interest-bearing debt amounted to MEUR 269.5 after netting of MEUR 6.7 capitalized arrangements fees.

NET INTEREST BEARING DEBT

At the end of the second quarter 2019, net interest-bearing debt amounted to MEUR 346.7, an increase of MEUR 136.5 compared to year-end 2018 mainly driven by IFRS 16 additional liabilities.

FINANCIAL UPDATE

Revenues in interior increased by MEUR 3.5 (+4.9%) compared to the second quarter of 2018, including positive currency translation effects of MEUR 1.1. The revenue growth was driven by the Interior Comfort System (ICS) business, which grew by 9.9% in comparison with Q2 2018, mainly due to new programs in North America. However, this increase was partially offset by a marketdriven decline in the Light Duty Cable (LDC) business across all regions.

Adjusted EBIT was MEUR 2.5 in the second quarter, a decrease of MEUR 1.7 compared to the second quarter 2018. The second quarter adjusted EBIT margin decreased by 2.6 percentage points to 3.3%. The positive effect of higher ICS volume and the corresponding fall through was outweighed by an increase in Mexican labor and tariff costs in addition to the sales decrease in the LDC business.

The adoption of the new IFRS 16 standard had a positive impact of MEUR 0.2 on the Adjusted EBIT in the second quarter 2019 (see Note 2).

COMMERCIAL AND OPERATIONAL UPDATE

The business wins for the second quarter amounted to MEUR 255.4 in lifetime revenue for the Interior segment (MEUR 57.5 in annualized revenue), a significant increase compared to the second quarter of 2018 mainly driven the ICS business,

Those figures include an awarded business to supply Seat Support systems to a major European premium OEM with lifetime revenue estimated at approximately MEUR 134.

FINANCIAL UPDATE

Revenues in Powertrain & Chassis increased by MEUR 3.3 (+2.9%) to MEUR 115.8 in the second quarter 2019 compared to the same quarter in 2018, including positive currency translation effects of MEUR 1.1. The growth was driven by an increase of our market share in the Chinese passenger car market and AMT actuator revenues in North America.

Adjusted EBIT was MEUR 5.7 in the second quarter, an increase of MEUR 2.8 compared to the second quarter 2018. The second quarter adjusted EBIT margin increased by 2.4 percentage points to 4.9%.

The increased profitability was mainly driven by the fall through from the additional revenues in North America and China in conjunction with operational improvements in our European plants and seasonality effects.

The adoption of the new IFRS 16 standard had a positive impact of MEUR 0.4 on the Adjusted EBIT during the second quarter 2019 (see Note 2).

COMMERCIAL AND OPERATIONAL UPDATE

Business wins amounted to MEUR 114.2 lifetime revenue (MEUR 24.5 in annualized revenue) in the second quarter 2019, which is at a more normal level compared to the Q2 2018 record level when significant programs were awarded.

NOTE 1 – DISCLOSURES

GENERAL INFORMATION

Kongsberg Automotive ASA and its subsidiaries develop, manufacture and sell products to the automotive industry globally. Kongsberg Automotive ASA is a limited liability company, which is listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange. The consolidated interim financial statements are not audited.

BASIS OF PREPARATION

This condensed consolidated interim financial information, for the six months ended June 30, 2019, has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 "Interim financial reporting". The condensed consolidated interim financial information should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the year-ended December 31, 2018, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accounting policies are consistent with those of the annual financial statements for the year-ended December 31, 2018, as described in those annual financial statements. Taxes on income in the interim periods are accrued using the estimated effective tax rate.

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, raw material prices, credit risks, and an increasing tariffs risk. As we operate in many countries, we are vulnerable to currency risk. The most significant currency exposure for Kongsberg Automotive is associated with EUR, NOK 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 Tier 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.

NOTE 2 – NEW AND AMENDED STANDARDS AND INTERPRETATIONS

IMPACT OF INITIAL APPLICATION OF IFRS 16 LEASES

In the context of the transition to IFRS 16, right-of-use assets of MEUR 106.3 were recognized as property, plant and equipment as at January 1, 2019. Accordingly, lease liabilities of MEUR 106.6 were recognized under other long-term liabilities as at January 1, 2019. The Group transitioned to IFRS 16 in accordance with the modified retrospective approach therefore the prior year figures have not been adjusted.

In applying IFRS 16 for the first time, the group has used the following practical expedients permitted by the standard:

• the use of a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases with reasonably similar characteristics

• reliance on previous assessments on whether leases are onerous

Reconciliation of Lease Liabilities as at January 1, 2019

• the accounting for operating leases with a remaining lease term of less than 12 months as at January 1, 2019 as shortterm leases

• the exclusion of initial direct costs for the measurement of the right-of-use asset at the date of initial application, and

• the use of hindsight in determining the lease term where the contract contains options to extend or terminate the lease..

In addition, as allowed by the standards optional exemptions, the Group has elected to not apply the new guidance tso leases of low value assets. Lease payments under these contracts are generally recognized on a straight-line basis of the lease term as other operating expenses.

The weighted average incremental borrowing rate for the lease liabilities initially recognized as at January 1, 2019 was 4.7%.

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 neither defined nor specified in the applicable financial reporting framework of the IFRS GAAP. They may be considered as non-GAAP financial measures that may include or exclude amounts that are calculated and presented according to the IFRS GAAP.

• Operating profit EBIT/Adjusted EBIT

• EBITDA/Adjusted EBITDA

• Restructuring per segment

• NIBD

• Capital employed

• ROCE (last twelve months)

Free cash flow

OPERATING PROFIT - EBIT/ADJUSTED EBIT

EBIT, earnings before interest and tax, is defined as the earnings excluding the effects of how the operations were financed, taxed and excluding foreign exchange gains & losses. As such IFRS 16 effect in 2019 has not been excluded from this measurement however 2018 figures have not been restated. Adjusted EBIT is defined as EBIT excluding restructuring items, which are defined as any incurred costs or sales reduction of an unusual or non-recurring nature in connection with the considered restructuring of the activities of the Group.

EBIT is used as a measure of operational profitability. In order to exclude restructuring one timers, the Group also reports the adjusted EBIT, which is the EBIT excluding restructuring items.

(MEUR)	Q2 2019	Q2 2018	YTD 2019	YTD 2018	FY 2018
Operating profit / EBIT1	19.2	15.0	39.5	29.7	53.7
Restructuring items2	1.2	5.9	2.4	11.2	21.0
Adjusted EBIT1+2	20.4	20.8	41.9	40.9	74.7

EBITDA/ADJUSTED EBITDA

EBITDA is defined as EBIT (previously defined) before depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is therefore EBITDA excluding restructuring items. As such IFRS 16 effect in 2019 has not been excluded from this measurement however 2018 figures have not been restated.

EBITDA is used as an additional measure of the Group's operational profitability, excluding the impact from depreciation and amortization.

(MEUR)	Q2 2019	Q2 2018	YTD 2019	YTD 2018	FY 2018

The restructuring items in Q2 2019 mainly relate to corporate systems transition costs.

FREE CASH FLOW

Free cash flow is measured based on cash flow from operations, investments and financing excluding debt repayments.

Free Cash Flow is used 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 and financing activities excluding debt repayments. The Group considers that this measurement illustrates the amount of cash the Group has at its disposal to pursue additional investments or to repay debt.

(MEUR)	Q2 2019	Q2 2018	YTD 2019	YTD 2018	FY 2018
Cash flow - Operating activities	13.9	44.0	9.6	39.9	43.2

Free Cash Flow	(6.1)	22.9	(35.5)	8.1	6.9

NIBD

Net Interesting Bearing Debt (NIBD), consists of interest-bearing liabilities less cash and cash equivalents.

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. As cash and cash equivalents can be used to repay debt, this measurement shows the net overall financial position of the Group.

ALTERNATIVE PERFORMANCE MEASURES (APM)

CAPITAL EMPLOYED

Capital Employed is equal to operating assets less operating liabilities. Operating assets and liabilities are items, which are involved in the process of producing and selling goods and services. Long-term financial assets and obligations are excluded, as those are involved in raising cash for operations and disbursing excess cash from operations.

Capital Employed is measured in order to assess how much capital is needed for the operations/business to function and evaluate if the capital employed can be utilized more efficiently and/or if operations should be discontinued.

(MEUR)	30.06.19	30.06.18	31.12.18

Current liabilities	(256.6)	(251.4)	(251.8)
Capital employed	635.8	510.0	522.9

As at June 30, 2019, the capital employed includes MEUR 91.3 resulting from the adoption of IFRS 16 (see Note 2).

ROCE (LAST TWELVE MONTHS)

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

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 considers this ratio as appropriate to measure the return of the period.
