REVENUES

Group revenues amounted to MEUR 302.8 in the first quarter of 2021, exceeding Q1 2020 by MEUR 40.7 (+15.5%), despite negative currency translation effects of MEUR 12.0. All operating segments contributed to the increase in revenues.

On a constant currency basis, revenues generated in the commercial vehicles market increased by 51.9% compared to Q1 2020, mainly attributable to the significant growth in China, where revenues have more than doubled (+149.7%), and to North America where revenues increased by 95.3%. The Group significantly outperformed the market in these two regions as, based on market data, the Chinese market declined in Q1 2021 by 35.4% compared to Q1 2020, while the heavy-duty market in North America grew by 18.3%. The revenues in Europe were higher only by 13.8% than in Q1 2020 which was slightly below market growth.

The revenues in the passenger car market increased by 25.2% on a constant currency basis. With the revenues increase of 134.5% in China, Kongsberg Automotive was able to outperform the market (+77.1%), while declines in revenues in Europe and North America were in line with regional market developments, being only slightly below its low level of the prior-year quarter.

ADJUSTED EBIT / EBIT

Adjusted EBIT for the Group was MEUR 20.0 in the first quarter 2021, which is higher by MEUR 12.2 (+156.4%) than in Q1 2020. This increase is due to high sales volume, especially in China, and productivity enhancements, however, partially offset by increased material costs and associated premium freight cost resulting from the constraints in the electronic components supply chain. The automotive industry as a whole suffered under the accelerating global raw materials crisis. That concerned foremost semiconductors, but also resin, metals, and transportation capacities.

Operating profit in Q1 2021 amounted to MEUR 19.9, compared to the operating profit of MEUR 7.4 in Q1 2021.

NET FINANCIAL ITEMS

Net financial items came to an income of MEUR 2.0 in the first quarter of 2021, compared to an expense of MEUR 17.4 in the same period in 2020 (see Note 5).

The main driver for the change in net financial items was the shift from foreign currency losses of MEUR 12.2 in Q1 2020 to foreign currency gains of MEUR 7.7 in Q1 2021.

There were no significant changes in the interest expenses compared to the first quarter of last year.

PROFIT BEFORE TAX / NET PROFIT

Profit before taxes amounted to MEUR 21.9 in the first quarter of 2021, compared to the loss before taxes of MEUR 10.0 in the same quarter of 2020. Net profit amounted to MEUR 15.1 in Q1 2021, being an increase of MEUR 27.2 compared to the net loss of MEUR 12.1 in Q1 2020. The tax expense is in line with the expectation.

CASH FLOW USED BY INVESTING ACTIVITIES

Cash used by investing activities amounted to MEUR 6.0 in the first quarter of 2021. The low investment activity in Q1 2021 is due to the significant capital expenditure in Q4 2020 and effective capacity planning.

CASH FLOW USED BY FINANCING ACTIVITIES

Cash flow used by financing activities was MEUR 13.4 in the first quarter, compared to MEUR 1.7 in the same quarter last year. The difference is primarily due to the net-draw of the revolving credit facility (RCF) of MEUR 10.0 that took place in Q1 2020.

ASSETS

Total assets were MEUR 951.9 at the end of the first quarter, an increase of MEUR 53.9 from year-end 2020.

  • Total comprehensive income for the quarter of MEUR 19.8, of which:
    • o Net profit amounts to MEUR 15.1, and
    • o Other comprehensive income is MEUR 4.7.

NOTE 1 – DISCLOSURES

GENERAL INFORMATION

Kongsberg Automotive ASA and its subsidiaries develop, manufacture and sell products to the automotive and commercial vehicle 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 three months ended March 31, 2021, 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, 2020, 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, 2020, as described in those annual financial statements. Taxes on income in the interim periods are accrued using the estimated effective tax rate.

RISK AND UNCERTAINTIES

In particular due to the Covid-19 pandemic, risks and opportunities for the financial year are subject to a high level of uncertainty and are continuously monitored, evaluated and, if applicable, taken into account in planning during the year.

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. As Kongsberg Automotive operates in many countries, Kongsberg Automotive is vulnerable to currency risk. The most significant currency exposure is associated with the USD exchange rate. As most of the revenues are earned from automotive OEMs and automotive Tier 1 and Tier 2 customers, the financial health of these automotive companies is critical to the credit risk.

On the supply side Kongsberg Automotive is exposed to risks related to the availability and cost of copper, zinc, aluminum, steel, and electronic components. The entire automotive industry, including Kongsberg Automotive, is currently facing the challenges of a supply chain crises especially in relation to electronics.

In the first three quarters of 2020 Kongsberg Automotive faced risk factors that were significantly impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic. Along with the ongoing global economic recovery observed since Q4 2020, the world-wide passenger car and commercial vehicles markets have rebounded significantly. The growth rate in the customer demand in the first quarter of 2021, most notably in China where there has been significant expansion, has had a visible impact on the process of normalization in the Group's most important markets and gradual elimination of Covid-19-related economic hurdles and business difficulties. In comparison to Q1 2020, which was strongly affected by the Covid-19 pandemic outbreak in China, the first quarter of 2021 showed signs of improvement in the overall business development, meaning it is expected that the current trend of performance improvement and elimination of Covid-19 related difficulties will be effectively maintained by the worldwide market and Kongsberg Automotive. However, the European market was still affected by the ongoing pandemicrelated restrictions in Q1 2021, resulting in sales volumes in Europe only slightly above the low level of the prior-year quarter. Therefore, all Covid-19 related risks are still closely monitored by Kongsberg Automotive in order to ensure that there are no further setbacks as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic.

REVERSE SPLIT OF THE COMPANY'S SHARES

In Q1 2021 the consolidation of the Company's shares was carried out whereby 10 old shares with par value NOK 0.1 each were replaced by one new share with par value NOK 1.0.

In order to facilitate the share consolidation, the Company increased the share capital by NOK 0.70 (7 shares each of par value NOK 0.10) to obtain a total number of shares outstanding divisible by 10.

Following the consolidation of the Company's shares, the Company's share capital is divided into 1.054.860.644 shares.

SEASONALITY

The Group's 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.

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 (loss)- EBIT/Adjusted EBIT
  • EBITDA/Adjusted EBITDA
  • Restructuring per segment
  • Free cash flow

OPERATING PROFIT (LOSS) - 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. Adjusted EBIT is defined as EBIT excluding unusual or non-recurring items as well as 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. Consequently, the Group also reports the adjusted EBIT, which is the EBIT excluding restructuring items and impairment losses.

EBITDA/ADJUSTED EBITDA

EBITDA is defined as EBIT (previously defined) before depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is therefore EBITDA excluding restructuring items and impairment losses.

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

FREE CASH FLOW

Free Cash Flow is measured based on sum of cash flow from operating activities, investing activities, financial activities, and currency and translation effects on cash flow (together described as Change in cash), excluding net draw-down/repayment of debt and proceeds received from capital increase/purchase of treasury shares.

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.

ALTERNATIVE PERFORMANCE MEASURES (APM)

NIBD

Net Interest-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 interest-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.

Long-term interest-bearing liabilities 360.9 358.2 363.1

Cash and cash equivalents (71.3) (27.4) (67.4)
Net Interest Bearing Debt 303.7 363.3 309.5

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 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.

Capital Employed 626.5 619.6 691.2

Capital Employed as at December 31, 2020, does not consider the assets' impairment of MEUR 82.7.

ADJUSTED ROCE (LAST TWELVE MONTHS)

Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) is based on 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.
