SUSTAINABLE PRACTICES
Nabaltec products have an extremely diverse range of applications and are the preferred choice whenever utmost quality, safety, eco-friendliness and durability are required. The combination of these characteristics creates outstanding prospects for growth for Nabaltec's various specialty chemical products and is the basis for the company's many years of growing financial success.
Beyond economic aspects, however, Nabaltec also attaches particular importance to ecological and social responsibility. Over the years, a certified environmental management system, an occupational health and safety management system and an energy management system have been introduced.
06 FOREWORD OF THE CEO
Significant downturn in important target markets led to 4.2% decline in revenues
Nabaltec achieved revenues of EUR 106.1 million in the first six months of 2023, 4.2% less than in the first half of 2022. The main reason for this decline was the weak performance in the second quarter of 2023. We had to pay tribute here to the significant downturn in important target markets such as the cable and wire, construction and steel industries. For a long time, we were able to compensate for declining sales volumes through our active pricing policy. In the first quarter of 2023, for example, we were once again able to increase revenues despite declining sales volumes, which was no longer possible in the second quarter.
The negative development currently affecting many areas of the chemical industry is also shaping demand for our products, encompassing nearly all of Nabaltec's product ranges. In contrast to previous expectations, we do not see any recovery in the third quarter of 2023 either. The still high costs of raw materials and energy do not allow too much leeway for price reductions. In a market environment with currently very low demand, this is not a promising strategy anyway. Due to the low level of revenues, the EBIT margin fell to 6.7% in the second quarter and thus to 8.1% in the first half of 2023. In this light, we had to adjust our previous forecast for Financial Year 2023 downward in terms of revenue development and the EBIT margin at the beginning of August.
Many of the currently relevant factors are beyond our control. For example, we are still waiting for the start of the build-up of European battery cell production. Here, our starting position is unchanged: With our boehmite, we have a product with a strong future, equipped with excellent properties, and already established on the market. We should be able to profit to an above-average extent from a rise in demand due to stronger European battery production. Unfortunately, the Chinese market remains widely closed to us. In the Asian region, we mainly supply South Korean and Japanese customers. We remain optimistic for the US market. This is all the more so as German and European automotive companies now want to set up battery cell production in the US instead of Europe. There is no question that this represents a failure of policy at the European level. Our task at Nabaltec remains to follow the expected demand. There are no two ways about it: Demand on the world market for separator films for lithium-ion batteries will continue to increase. Accordingly, we will also maintain our boehmite investment project, though somewhat adjusted in terms of timing and budget.

Other, undoubtedly very promising target markets are also currently experiencing a temporary weakness in demand. One example is high-quality data cables, which are needed in particular for the exorbitant growth of cloud solutions. Many cloud service providers have currently scaled back their investments. Manufacturers of corresponding data cables are complaining about a sharp drop in demand. Nevertheless, the positive future prospects for these markets and our products remain unchanged. In the long term, we see our market position as intact and strong for the future.
We continue to consolidate this pronounced future strength of our portfolio with new products and innovations. For example, this year we succeeded in delivering the first significant volumes of our new, innovative products for thermal management of e-mobility batteries. This will open up an additional innovative area of application and a new market for us.

Yours,
JOHANNES HECKMANN CEO
In the long term, Nabaltec sees intact market position despite current temporary weakness in demand

CONSOLIDATED INTERIM MANAGEMENT REPORT
AS OF 30 JUNE 2023
COURSE OF BUSINESS
Group revenues in the first half of 2023 at EUR 106.1 million (–4.2%)
In the first half of 2023, Nabaltec AG's consolidated revenues were EUR 106.1 million, down 4.2% from the previous year's level of EUR 110.7 million. The revenue decline was exclusively attributable to the second quarter of 2023, when revenues amounted to EUR 49.1 million (–12.2%; previous year: EUR 55.9 million), while the first quarter of 2023 had still been 4.0% higher than the same quarter from the previous year.
In both the "Functional Fillers" and "Specialty Alumina" product segments, sales volumes declined across almost all product ranges, reflecting the current weak industrial momentum. In addition to further inventory reductions by customers, the company is currently seeing very erratic ordering behavior on the part of customers in line with demand. Furthermore, the market for boehmite remains restrained due to the lack of impetus from industry, especially in the European region.
In the "Functional Fillers" product segment, Nabaltec achieved quarterly revenues of EUR 34.2 million in the second quarter, compared to EUR 38.5 million in the corresponding period from the previous year (–11.2%). In the first six months of 2023, this product segment thus generated total revenues of EUR 74.2 million, compared to EUR 75.4 million in the same period from the previous year (–1.6%). Revenues in the "Specialty Alumina" product segment came to EUR 14.9 million in the second quarter of 2023, down 14.4% from the previous year (EUR 17.4 million). Revenues in the first half of 2023 totaled EUR 31.9 million, compared to EUR 35.3 million (–9.6%) in the first half of 2022.
Nabaltec attained earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) of EUR 6.5 million in the second quarter of 2023, compared to EUR 11.8 million in the same period of 2022 (–44.9%). Calculated for the first half, EBITDA was EUR 14.9 million, compared to EUR 22.2 million in the first half of the previous year (–32.9%). The EBITDA margin (EBITDA as a percentage of total performance) reached 14.2% in the first half of 2023 (same period from previous year: 19.7%).
Consolidated operating profit (EBIT) was EUR 3.3 million in the second quarter of 2023, compared to EUR 8.5 million in the previous year's quarter (–61.2%). For the first six months of 2023, EBIT totaled EUR 8.5 million, compared to EUR 15.7 million in the same period from the previous year (–45.9%). The EBIT margin (EBIT as a percentage of total performance) was 8.1% in the first half of 2023, compared to 14.0% in the same period from the previous year.
The net financial income amounted to EUR –1.1 million in the first six months of 2023, compared to EUR –0.9 million in the first half of the previous year.
Earnings before tax amounted in the first half of 2023 to EUR 7.4 million, compared to EUR 14.8 million in the first half of the previous year (–50.0%). In the first half of 2023, this resulted in a consolidated net result after tax of EUR 5.5 million, compared to EUR 10.3 million in the first half of 2022 (–46.6%). This corresponds to earnings per share of EUR 0.63 for the first six months of 2023. In comparison, in the same period from the previous year, earnings per share amounted to EUR 1.17.
Nabaltec achieved total performance of EUR 105.0 million in the first six months of 2023. In the same period of the previous year, total performance had amounted to EUR 112.5 million (–6.7%). Total performance was EUR 49.6 million in the second quarter of 2023, compared to EUR 57.4 million in the previous year's quarter (–13.6%). The company slightly built-up inventories in the second quarter, and there was a further reduction in inventories of finished goods and work in progress of EUR 1.3 million in the first half of the year.
Other operating income decreased from EUR 2.0 to 1.3 million in the first six months of 2023. This includes foreign exchange gains of EUR 0.7 million (prior-year period: EUR 1.5 million).
The cost of materials decreased slightly in the first half of 2023 compared to the same period from the previous year, from EUR 53.7 million to EUR 53.4 million. High prices for raw materials, energy and packaging materials continue to be the driving forces behind the cost development. Accordingly, the cost of materials ratio (cost of materials as a percentage of total performance) increased to 50.9% in the first half of 2023, compared to 47.7% in the prior-year period. The gross profit margin (gross profit as a percentage of total performance) decreased to 50.4% in the first six months of 2023, compared to 54.0% in the same period from the previous year.
The personnel expense ratio (personnel expenses as a percentage of total performance) increased from 17.6 to 18.9% compared to the first half from the previous year.
Depreciation and amortization in the first six months of 2023 were EUR 6.4 million (previous year: EUR 6.5 million) and thus at the expected level. The depreciation and amortization margin (depreciation and amortization as a percentage of total performance) increased from 5.8% in the previous year to 6.1% in the reporting period.
At EUR 18.2 million, other operating expenses in the first half of 2023 were slightly below the level of the same period from the previous year (EUR 18.8 million), mainly due to declining freight costs resulting from lower sales volumes. The ratio of other operating expenses in relation to total performance increased from 16.7 to 17.3% compared to the same period from the previous year.
EBIT in the first half of 2023 at EUR 8.5 million; EBIT margin at 8.1%
Earnings per share of EUR 0.63
Export ratio at a high level of 74.2%
With an export ratio of 74.2%, Nabaltec's foreign share continues to be high and once again increased slightly compared to the same period of the previous year (73.9%). From a regional perspective, the share of revenues in Europe increased slightly, while decreasing slightly in all other Nabaltec regions. Due to lower boehmite sales, there was a year-on-year decline in revenues in Asia.
Cash flow from operating activity was EUR 14.4 million in the first half of 2023, compared to EUR 19.1 million in the first six months of the previous year. The significantly lower net profit for the period had a corresponding impact on operating cash flow.
The cash flow for investments increased from EUR 4.1 million in the same period from the previous year to EUR 5.1 million. The figure of EUR 19.1 million reported in the cash flow statement for the prior-year period additionally includes disbursements for investments in fixedterm deposits with maturities of more than three months amounting to EUR 15.0 million. In the first half of 2023, free cash flow amounted to EUR 9.3 million, compared to EUR 15.0 million in the same period of the previous year (not including payments for investments in fixedterm deposits with maturities of more than three months).
Cash flow from financing activity amounted to EUR –3.2 million, compared to EUR 28.1 million in the first half of the previous year, and includes the payment of a dividend of EUR 2.5 million. In the previous year, cash flow from financing activity included the payment from the proceeds of the loan against borrower's note issued in April 2022 with a volume of EUR 90.0 million, the disbursement of the scheduled repayment of previous loans in the amount of EUR 59.0 million and the disbursement of a dividend of EUR 2.2 million.
Cash and cash equivalents in the Nabaltec Group amounted to EUR 93.3 million as of 30 June 2023.
Total assets increased from EUR 281.1 to 285.3 million compared to 31 December 2022. Non-current assets decreased from EUR 135.3 to 118.6 million as of the reporting date on 30 June 2023. Current assets increased from EUR 145.8 million as of 31 December 2022 to EUR 166.7 million in the reporting period.
On the liabilities side, the equity ratio as of 30 June 2023 was 47.7% compared to 47.5% as of 31 December 2022. Non-current liabilities were EUR 122.8 million as of 30 June 2023, compared to EUR 122.7 million as of 31 December 2022. Current liabilities increased from EUR 24.9 million at year-end 2022 to EUR 26.5 million. Equity ratio at 47.7%
EMPLOYEES
As of the reporting date of 30 June 2023, the Nabaltec Group employed 507 persons (including trainees). At the corresponding point in the previous year, there had been 488 persons. The training ratio was 5.9%.
OUTLOOK
Demand clouded over significantly in the second quarter of 2023. Due to this negative market development and the continued consistent inventory optimization by customers, sales volumes in the first half of 2023 were significantly lower than in the same period of the previous year.
In contrast to previous expectations, the company does not see a market recovery in the third quarter of 2023 either. The weakness in demand affects both product segments. In this light, Nabaltec AG adjusted its previous forecast for 2023 as a whole downward on 4 August 2023. The company now expects a year-on-year decline in revenues in a range of 4% to 6%. Previously, Nabaltec expected revenue growth in a range of 3% to 5%. On the earnings side, Nabaltec now expects an EBIT margin in a range of 6% to 8%, compared to the previous forecast of 8% to 10%. The forecast is based on the assumption that there will be no significant improvements in economic development in the second half of 2023. It remains unclear with what dynamics the economic situation will recover globally and in the markets relevant for Nabaltec. High inflation, rising interest rates and a diffuse picture for the future development of the global economy are putting the brakes on consumption and investment. In the event of continuing negative economic upheavals based on the geopolitical situation, adverse effects on the liquidity, financial and earnings situation cannot be ruled out.
Beyond this, the other statements made in the forecast report of the consolidated management report 2022 remain valid.
REPORT ON OPPORTUNITIES AND RISKS
