Report on the first half year
2
Q1/2020 was not yet significantly impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic. In contrast, Q2/2020 sales decreased 23% year-on-year. However, Group recurring EBIT of approximately Ŷ2 million in Q2/2020 was not as weak as anticipated at the presentation of the Q1/2020 results.
Group sales in H1/2020 decreased by approximately 19% to Ŷ457 million, due to pandemic-related overall weaker business development as well as expected declining developments in the market segments Battery & other Energy (GMS) and Textile Fibers (CFM) due to capacity adjustments. Group recurring EBIT down approximately 70% to Ŷ11 million.
Due to more consistent expectations for the second half of the year and under certain assumptions, we published a forecast for the full year 2020 on July 28, 2020. Accordingly, we expect Group sales to decline by 15% to 20% year-on-year and a slightly positive Group operating recurring EBIT.
As a result of measures taken at an early stage and contrary to the normal seasonal trend, cash and cash equivalents at nearly Ŷ154 million as of June 30, 2020 developed very positively compared to the end of 2019 (Ŷ137 million) particularly against the framework of the current economic environment.

The supervisory board of SGL Carbon SE has appointed Dr. Torsten Derr as Chief Executive Officer of SGL Carbon SE for the duration of five years effective July 1, 2020. On April 28, 2020, we were also able to report that Dr. Derr will take up his position one month earlier, on June 1, 2020. Since 2016, Dr. Derr is holding the position of Managing Director of SALTIGO GmbH, Leverkusen, a subsidiary of LANXESS AG. Following his master degree and attainment of his PhD in chemistry at the University of Bremen, he began his professional career at Bayer AG in 1997 and at LANXESS AG in 2003.
Due to the corona-related contact restrictions, the Annual General Meeting on June 16, 2020 took place in a purely virtual format at the company's headquarters. The board members, a notary, Ms. Klatten as chairwoman of the supervisory board and Messrs. Denoke and Jodl as deputy chairmen of the supervisory board attended in person. The other members of the supervisory board were connected via video conference. During the AGM, Dr. Torsten Derr introduced himself to the shareholders as the new CEO of SGL Carbon SE. The questions of the shareholders could be submitted online before the AGM and were then answered during the event. Additionally, the supervisory board members Mrs. Klatten, Mr. Denoke and Mr. Eichler were re-elected with high approval rates. The vote was also conducted online. Approximately 320 shareholders participated online.
SGL Carbon received a substantial contract from a North American automaker for the series production of the top and bottom layers for battery enclosures made of carbon and glass fiber reinforced composites.
At the beginning of this year, SGL Carbon started serial production of landing gears made from braided carbon fiber material, which will be installed in around 500 flight taxis worldwide over the next two years. The carbon fibers for the component are produced at the SGL Carbon plant in Muir of Ord, Scotland. The final component is being manufactured at the Innkreis site in Austria.
After prototypes for a Chinese automotive manufacturer, a major order from a North American automaker and yet another order from a European sports car manufacturer, SGL Carbon has now been nominated by BMW Group to serially produce a cover component for battery enclosures. This substantial multi-year order will include the production of an innovative glass-fiber-based cover plate for the battery housing. The component will be used in a future BMW Group plug-in hybrid model.
SGL Carbon invested a total of approximately Ŷ25 million over the past three years in the modernization and expansion of its production capacities for specialty graphite automotive components at the Bonn site, which was completed in January 2020. Due to its durability, high strength, low friction behavior and high conductivity, the material is suitable for many different automotive applications. Examples include rotors and vanes in vacuum pumps for brake boosters, bearings for exhaust gas management, and sealing rings and bearings for seals in coolant pumps.
SGL Carbon reported on receiving the "Supplier of the Year 2019" award for excellence in quality management and contributions to strengthen the overall competitiveness of the Hyundai Motor Group related to the manufacturing and supply of fuel cell components. The award is granted by the Korean automaker once a year, evaluating several hundreds of suppliers from across the world in different categories. This year, only two non-Korean suppliers were awarded.
In our company magazine "thinc different", we took a close look at silicon carbide semiconductors and explained their highly attractive growth prospects. SGL Carbon supplies graphite components for the furnaces used to manufacture these semiconductors. These components must withstand temperatures of up to 2400 degrees Celsius and be of the highest purity, while temperatures of around 1500 degrees Celsius are sufficient for the growth of normal silicon crystals.
In June 2020, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) revised downwards the global growth forecast for the current year by another 1.9 percentage points to minus 4.9% mainly due to the Covid-19 pandemic impacts.
For the following year 2021, the IMF expects the global economy to significantly recover with a growth of 5.4%, albeit 0.4 percentage points below the last forecast from April 2020. The expected strong growth in 2021, however, is mainly the result of the low base due to the recessive quarters in 2020. Overall, the IMF continues to see considerable uncertainty regarding the forecast, the pandemic itself, its macroeconomic impact and the associated burdens on the financial and commodity markets.
For the euro area, the IMF expects economic output to decline by 10.2% in the current year, followed by a recovery of 6.0% in 2021. This means growth expectations have been lowered by 1.9 percentage points for 2020 and by 0.4 percentage points for 2021 compared to the IMF's April forecast. For Germany, minus 7.8% (minus 0.8 percentage points) is expected in 2020 and 5.4% (plus 0.2 percentage points) in the coming year.
The increasingly consistent outlook for the second half of the year prompted us to reinstate guidance for 2020 on July 28, 2020 under certain assumptions. In particular, a second pandemic wave and an associated further decline in demand due to a recession is not taken into account in the current forecast for the full year.
The Covid-19 pandemic affects the business operations of SGL Carbon. SGL Carbon has two clear priorities. Overriding target is to implement preventive measures to protect the health of our employees, their families and our business partners. In addition, it is our responsibility to manage our Company in the best way and as unscathed as possible through these difficult times. The board of management of SGL Carbon together with both business units and the central functions have put together a comprehensive package of measures. The implemented work and behavioral measures have contributed to the fact, that only very few SGL Carbon employees have so far been positively tested for the new Corona virus.
In the reporting segment GMS, the Covid-19 crisis particularly affected the market segments Industrial Applications, Chemicals and Automotive & Transport. In contrast, the market segments Battery & other Energy, LED, Solar and Semiconductor were nearly able to maintain their plan level. In the CFM reporting segment, all market segments except for Wind Energy are affected by the decline in business volume due to Covid-19.
SGL Carbon is globally active with 29 production sites. Some countries or regional authorities had implemented comprehensive restrictions such as lockdowns, which have had direct impact on our business operations. The GMS sites in China, India, Italy and Spain were temporarily affected by these restrictions, which have been lifted in the meantime and the sites have resumed operations. Due to temporary customer production stops, the CFM sites in Wackersdorf (Germany) and Austria have scaled back their production and introduced short time work. This also applied to the two production sites of the Brembo SGL joint venture. Thanks to the measures taken, the remaining sites of SGL Carbon in Germany, USA, UK, France, Portugal and Poland were able to largely maintain production and distribution of products without interruption, but at different degrees of utilization.
To counter the effects of the partially massive interruptions in the supply chain and their resulting lost work time, SGL Carbon is utilizing short time work as well as reduction of vacation and overtime at the sites and businesses, that are particularly affected. On June 30 approx. 20% of SGL Carbon employees were in short-time work or similar measures. The majority of short-time work measures are only used proportionally. Administrative employees and teams continued their activities largely from the home office.
The impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic on the overall economic growth and the sales and procurement markets relevant to SGL Carbon, as well as the significant decline in SGL Carbon's market capitalization, were indicators of a possible need for impairment and triggered event-driven impairment tests as of March 31, 2020 for property, plant and equipment and intangible assets (including goodwill). The impairment tests carried out on March 31, 2020 have not resulted in an impairment. For further details, please refer to the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements.

2) EBIT before non-recurring items for the last twelve months to average capital employed (total of goodwill, other intangible assets, property, plant and equipment, investments accounted for At-Equity and working capital)
While the first quarter 2020 in the reporting segment Composites – Fibers & Materials (CFM) was still relatively unaffected by the Corona crisis, the effects were clearly visible in the second quarter 2020. Accordingly, sales revenue in the second quarter 2020 declined by approximately 22% year-overyear and recurring EBIT turned slightly negative (details on the quarterly development on page 28).
In the reporting period, sales revenue declined by approximately 15% (currency adjusted minus 16%) to Ŷ185.7 million from Ŷ219.4 million in the prior year period. The largest percentage decline was recorded by the market segment Textile Fibers, however largely due to reduced supply. As part of the earnings improvement measures, we had at the end of 2019 started to convert one acrylic fiber line to precursor and to idle two acrylic fiber lines. Corona-related declines were recorded in the market segments Automotive and Aerospace. In contrast, business with the wind energy industry doubled and thus developed more favorably than initially anticipated. Industrial
Applications remained relatively stable and close to the prior year level.
Major investment accounted for At-Equity is the Ceramic Brake Discs business (Brembo SGL: development and production of carbon ceramic brake discs) which is allocated to the market segment Automotive and has two production sites in Meitingen (Germany) and Stezzano (Italy). Both sites had to stop production between end of March and end of April 2020, in Italy due to government regulations (lockdown) and in Germany due to production curtailments at important automotive customers. Accordingly, aggregated sales of the At-Equity accounted investments fell by approximately 23% to Ŷ93.6 million in the first half year 2020 (H1/2019: Ŷ120.9 million, 100% values for companies). This sales revenue is not included in Group consolidated sales revenues.
Recurring EBIT in the first half year 2020 declined from Ŷ2.8 million in the prior year period to Ŷ1.8 million in the reporting period due to the Corona related slight loss in the second quarter 2020. The substantially improved results in the wind energy business were more than offset by the approximately Ŷ4 million lower earnings contribution from At-Equity accounted investments. Accordingly, the EBIT margin slightly declined to 1.0% from 1.3%.
After consideration of non-recurring items of minus Ŷ5.1 million, EBIT in the first half year 2020 declined to minus Ŷ3.3 million (H1/2019: minus Ŷ1.5 million). Non-recurring items in the reporting period and in the prior year period mainly included the additional depreciation relating to the purchase price allocation from the acquisition of the shares in the SGL Composite companies.

The initial impacts from the Corona pandemic were also visible only in the second quarter 2020 in the reporting segment Graphite Materials & Systems (GMS). Compared to the prior year quarter, sales declined by almost 23% and EBIT by approximately 47% (details on the quarterly development on page 28).
In total, sales revenue in the reporting period declined by approximately 21% (no material currency impact) to Ŷ258.0 million from Ŷ325.8 million in the prior year period due to lower sales revenues in all market segments except Semiconductors, which grew by a low double-digit percentage.
Compared to the record earnings level in the prior year period (H1/2019: Ŷ50.0 million), recurring EBIT in the reporting period decreased by approximately 51% to Ŷ24.3 million. The IRFS 15 effect alone contributed Ŷ9 million to the earnings decline. The EBIT margin deteriorated to 9.4% (H1/2019: 15.3%). In line with the development in sales revenues, almost all market segments recorded an earnings decline compared to the prior year period. Earnings in the market segment Automotive & Transport remained stable despite lower sales revenues due to productivity improvements.

Sales revenues in the first half year 2020 in the reporting segment Corporate declined by 21% (no currency effect) due to reduced services provided to divested business units (former Business Unit Performance Products resp. PP).
At minus Ŷ15.3 million, EBIT in the reporting segment Corporate remained close to the prior year level (H1/2019: minus Ŷ15.0 million).

Sales revenue of SGL Carbon fell significantly by almost 19% (no currency effect) to Ŷ456.5 million (H1/2019: Ŷ561.5 million). The decline in sales revenue is attributable to the developments described in the segment reporting. Gross margin decreased to 20.5% (H1/2019: 22.2%) in the reporting period mainly due to lower fixed cost absorption particularly in the reporting segment GMS. Accordingly, gross profit decreased to Ŷ93.7 million in the reporting period from Ŷ124.4 million in the prior year period. Selling, administrative and R&D costs were adjusted to the weaker business situation and decreased by 5% to Ŷ89.8 million (H1/2019: Ŷ94.9 million).
Accordingly, recurring EBIT in the reporting period fell by 71% to Ŷ10.8 million (H1/2019: Ŷ37.8 million).
Non-recurring items of minus Ŷ5.1 million in the reporting period mainly comprise additional amortization of identified assets and liabilities from purchase price allocations for the SGL Composites companies. EBIT after non-recurring items decreased from Ŷ33.5 million in the first half of 2019 to Ŷ5.7 million in the reporting period.

Interest expenses included the cash interest components for the 2019/2024 corporate bond issued in April 2019 with an interest rate of 4.625% and the 2018/2023 convertible bond with an interest rate of 3.0%. The previous year's figure still included the interest expense for the financial liabilities of SGL Composites to the BMW Group and for the 2015/2020 convertible bond (interest rate of 3.5%). The non-cash imputed interest on the convertible bond is recognized in order to adjust the coupon on the convertible bond to comparable interest rates at the time of its issuance.
Due to the absence of interest expenses for the 2015/2020 convertible bond included in the previous year and lower interest expenses for pensions in the current year, the net interest expense for the reporting period improved significantly from minus Ŷ17.5 million in the previous year to minus Ŷ13.2 million. In contrast, the other financial result deteriorated significantly year-on-year to minus Ŷ2.6 million (H1/2019: minus Ŷ1.2 million). Main driver of this development was the Ŷ0.7 million negative fair market valuation of the redemption option incorporated in the corporate bond, which SGL Carbon may redeem at its discretion in the future. In total, net financial result improved significantly to minus Ŷ15.8 million (H1/2019: minus Ŷ18.7 million).

Due to the reduced EBIT, the result from continuing operations before income taxes decreased from Ŷ14.8 million in the prior year period to minus Ŷ10.1 million in the reporting period. Income tax expense of Ŷ3.4 million (H1/19: Ŷ4.3 million) was characterized by current tax expenses on the positive earnings contributions of certain group companies
Consolidated net result for the period amounted to minus Ŷ13.8 million compared to Ŷ10.1 million in the prior year period (after deduction of non-controlling interests in the reporting period of Ŷ0.2 million and in the first half 2019 of Ŷ0.3 million, respectively).

| Working Capital | ƊƐƇƎ | ƊƐƌƎ | –Ƈƈ |
Working capital decreased by Ŷ5.0 million to Ŷ401.8 million as of June 30, 2020. The decrease results on one hand from the reduction of the reported trade receivables and contract assets by Ŷ27.2 million as well as of inventories by Ŷ7.2 million. On the other hand, trade payables reduced by Ŷ29.4 million.
Total assets as of June 30, 2020 of Ŷ1,460.5 million decreased slightly by Ŷ44.3 million or 3% compared to December 31, 2019 at Ŷ1,504.8 million. Currency effects of Ŷ4.6 million have marginally contributed to the reduction.
Non-current assets declined, because capital expenditure in property, plant and equipment and intangible assets of Ŷ19.9 million in the first half of 2020 was well below the level of depreciation and amortization of Ŷ38.7 million (including amortization of Ŷ5.4 million from purchase price allocation). Due to the measures taken to limit working capital as well as due to the Corona-related lower business development, current assets also fell by Ŷ24.8 million. This is mainly the result of the reduction in trade receivables and contract assets by Ŷ27.2 million and other receivables and other assets by Ŷ7.2 million. Thanks to the positive free cash flow, total liquidity increased by Ŷ16.8 million to Ŷ153.9 million.
The slight increase in non-current liabilities of Ŷ6.0 million is essentially due to the acquisition of a building that was previously leased and thus recorded in current leasing liabilities in the prior year. Pension provisions changed only marginally, as the interest rate expectations in Germany, which had risen in the interim, have returned to the interest rate level at the end of 2019. The significant reduction in current liabilities resulted in particular from the reduction in trade payables by Ŷ29.4 million as well as the repayment of leasing liabilities of Ŷ6.7 million following the acquisition of a building.
As of June 30, 2020, equity attributable to the shareholders of the parent company decreased by Ŷ20.6 million to Ŷ398.0 million (December 31, 2019: Ŷ418.6 million). The decrease is mainly attributable to the consolidated net result of minus Ŷ13.8 million. Negative foreign currency changes of Ŷ4.3 million have contributed to the decrease. Overall, the equity ratio decreased only slightly to 27.3% as of June 30, 2020 (27.8% as of December 31, 2019), due to the lower total assets.

As of June 30, 2020, net financial debt decreased by Ŷ12.3 million to Ŷ276.2 million. This development is primarily attributable to the positive free cash flow from continuing operations of Ŷ26.6 million less the repayments for lease liabilities of Ŷ11.6 million and the payments for discontinued operations of Ŷ2.3 million.

1) Defined as cash flow from operating activities minus cash flow from investing activities
Cash flow from operating activities in the first half of 2020 improved significantly by Ŷ25.4 million to Ŷ40.8 million, in particular because, in contrast to previous years, there was no significant increase in working capital in the first half year. In addition, cash flow from investing activities improved from minus Ŷ24.6 million in the prior year period to minus Ŷ14.2 million in the reporting period, mainly because of lower capital expenditure in intangible assets and property, plant & equipment, which decreased significantly in the reporting period by almost 40% to Ŷ19.9 million (H1/2019: Ŷ33.6 million). The first half 2020 included cash inflows from a dividend payment from the joint venture with Brembo of Ŷ5.0 million (prior year period: Ŷ6.0 million)
As a result of the above effects, free cash flow from continuing operations improved significantly to Ŷ26.6 million in the reporting period (H1/2019: minus Ŷ9.2 million).
Free cash flow from discontinued operations also improved significantly to minus Ŷ2.3 million in the reporting period after minus Ŷ9.9 million in the prior year period. In the reporting period, the figure primarily includes a tax payment for prior years for the former business unit PP, while the prior year figure includes a settlement payment to the acquirer of the Aerostructures business.

The reduction in the number of employees in the Corporate reporting segment is due to the lower level of services to the divested PP business unit.
Regarding existing opportunities and risks, we refer to the detailed statements in the annual report for the financial year ended December 31, 2019.
In the annual report we had already referred to the risks arising from possible effects from the corona virus on the economic environment. The global economy has shrunk significantly in recent months as a result of the pandemic that has been spreading since mid-March, the accompanying lockdowns and weaker consumer spending. The effects of this development are reflected in the reinstated guidance. This, too, is still subject to a high degree of uncertainty, as the extent and duration of the effects of the pandemic on the global economy and thus on the business activities of SGL Carbon cannot be fully assessed.
In the reporting segment Composites – Fibers & Materials (CFM), opportunities and risks depend largely on the development of sales volumes. Business in the Industrial Applications and Automotive market segments in particular is increasingly affected by volume risks due to the decline in demand caused by Covid-19 and uncertainties in our customer industries, which may have a negative impact on earnings. The opportunity and risk profile can therefore be regarded as high.
In the reporting segment Graphite Materials & Systems (GMS), we see the opportunity and risk profile, particularly in terms of price and volume development, at a medium level. Here, the development of demand in the market segments Industrial Applications, Chemicals and Automotive & Transport has to be monitored carefully. Since GMS is characterized by a relatively high portion of fixed costs, there is also a particular risk, that cost structures cannot be fully adjusted to the lower demand or only with a time lag. This can temporarily have a significant negative impact on the financial performance.
If the reporting segments CFM and GMS do not develop as planned in the long term, there is an increased risk of impairment of the reported carrying amounts.
Furthermore, the business risks described above may have a negative impact on the financial position. A possible increase in our working capital, e.g. because the production pipeline has to be filled in case of a demand recovery, would also have an initially negative impact here. With liquidity of more than Ŷ150 million at the end of the first half of 2020, we consider ourselves well positioned in the current environment. In addition, we continue to have access to the syndicated loan, which is still undrawn.
On the basis of the information currently available, it is our opinion that no individual material risks exist – neither presently nor in the foreseeable future – that could jeopardize the business as a going concern. Even if the individual risks are viewed on an aggregate basis, they do not threaten SGL Carbon as a going concern.

In light of the uncertainties surrounding the further development, the duration as well as the impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic, on April 1, 2020, the Board of Management of SGL Carbon SE decided to suspend the guidance for the fiscal year 2020 as published in the Annual Report 2019.
While the global economic backdrop continues to remain fragile and dominated by Covid-19, the outlook for the second half of the year is becoming more and more consistent. Therefore under specific assumptions, which remain tentative, a Group outlook for the fiscal year 2020 was once again presented on July 28, 2020. In particular, a second pandemic wave and an associated further decline in demand due to a recession is not taken into account in the current forecast for the full year.
For the business unit CFM we now anticipate sales revenues to decline by approximately 10%. Declining sales in the market segment Textile Fibers, which is mainly the result of our capacity adjustments, as well as the Covid-19 related demand decline in the automotive industry, is unlikely to be compensated by the strong growth in the wind energy business and the increase in the market segment Aerospace. The deteriorated outlook compared to our guidance given before the Corona pandemic outbreak, when we had anticipated stable sales revenues, is related to all market segments except Wind Energy, where sales revenues are growing stronger than initially expected. For operating recurring EBIT we now anticipate close to a break-even result, which is not far from our March 2020 guidance (Turnaround and slightly positive EBIT), because we expect to be able to limit the negative earnings effects of the pandemic-driven lower sales revenues with personnel measures such as short-time work as well as various spending reductions and postponements. Additionally, earnings improvement measures implemented in the Textile Fibers business in the second half of 2019 as well as price increases in the wind
energy business implemented early 2020 will contribute to the earnings improvement compared to the prior year.
In the business unit GMS we now expect sales revenues to decline by approximately 20% due to the reduced business volume in all market segments expect Semiconductors, which is expected to remain on a similar level as in the prior year. The deterioration compared to our March 2020 outlook (high singledigit decline) mainly results from the weaker development in the economically more sensitive businesses with the chemical industry and industrial applications. We also have reduced sales revenue expectations in the remaining market segments except Battery & other Energy. The operating recurring EBIT is anticipated to decline by at least 50% and therefore substantially more than planned in March (20% decline) based on the reduced sales revenue expectations and the resulting significantly lower capacity utilization.
In the reporting segment Corporate we continue to expect a substantial deterioration in the operating recurring EBIT, due to expected higher consulting costs in the reporting period as well as a result of the prior year benefiting from one-time gains from services provided to the buyer of the former PP-activities.

| -ƎƏ.Ə | Ŷm amount |
| Mid double-digit Ŷm | |
| ƈƎƎ.Ƌ | increase |
1) before non-recurring items
2) before positive one-time effects
Based on the expected developments in the reporting segments as described above, we expect full year 2020 Group sales revenues to decline by 15% to 20%. Operating recurring Group EBIT is anticipated to record a slightly positive result.
As already communicated since the beginning of this year, we have been working on various additional funding options independent from the capital markets. Some of these measures have been successfully completed or substantially advanced since the balance sheet date. These will increase Group recurring EBIT in a low double-digit million Ŷ amount in the form of one-time effects, presumably mainly in the third quarter. Consequently, Group net result from continuing operations for fiscal year 2020 is expected in a similar magnitude as before the Covid-19 pandemic outbreak (negative low double-digit million Ŷ amount) despite a lower operating Group recurring EBIT.
To take into account the reduced operating earnings expectations and in the context of a conservative free cash flow management, capital expenditures will be further reduced in the current year to approx. Ŷ60 million (Guidance in March 2020: Ŷ70-80 million) and thus below the level of depreciation. Investment focus in the business unit CFM is on the market segment Automotive (primarily to execute on the new battery casings orders). In addition, we have invested into the conversion of another textile acrylic fiber line to PAN-precursor to supply our carbon fiber production. At GMS, investment focus is on the market segment Battery & other Energy (fuel cell components).
Thanks to the successful execution of additional non-capital market related funding options mentioned above, the March 2020 guidance of a mid double-digit million Ŷ increase in net debt at year-end 2020 compared to year-end 2019 can be more or less confirmed despite substantially lower operating earnings expectations. The increase in net debt can largely be attributed to the payment of the purchase price for SGL Composites USA (the carbon fiber plant of our former joint venture with BMW in Moses Lake, Washington, U.S.), in the amount of 62 million U.S. Dollar, which is due at the end of this year.
Accordingly, a comfortable liquidity position is expected at year-end 2020 despite the purchase price payment planned in the fourth quarter 2020. In addition, the syndicated loan in the amount of Ŷ175 million continues to remain available and undrawn.

SGL Carbon SE, located at Söhnleinstrasse 8, Wiesbaden (Germany), together with its subsidiaries (the Company or SGL Carbon) is a global manufacturer of products and solutions based on carbon fibers and specialty graphites.
The Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements of SGL Carbon have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) applicable to interim financial reporting (IAS 34) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board and as adopted by the European Union (EU) and should be read in conjunction with the SGL Carbon Consolidated Financial Statements as of December 31, 2019. The Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements as of June 30, 2020, apply the same accounting principles and practices as well as the same estimates and assumptions as those used in the 2019 annual financial statements.
In the six months ended June 30, 2020, SGL Carbon's business and economic environment is adversely affected by the pandemic coronavirus spread. In the June 30, 2020, Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements, the Company based financial statement related estimates and assumptions on existing knowledge and best information available and applied a scenario assuming the current coronavirus situation is of no long-term duration. The emerging recovery in the Asian region and the extensive stimulus programs of various governments are important indicators.
Estimates and assumptions undergo regular review and must be adjusted where appropriate.
Actual events may result in deviations from these estimates. This applies in particular to the background of the coronavirus pandemic, which is causing distortions in global supply chains and markets. Developments in the wake of the pandemic are dynamic, so it cannot be ruled out that the actual results deviate significantly from the estimates and assumptions made in the preparation of these Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements, or that the estimates and assumptions made will have to be adjusted in future periods and this will have a significant impact on SGL Carbon's financial position, results of operations and cash flows. Areas that contain estimates and assumptions and are therefore most likely to be affected if the actual results deviate from the estimates and assumptions, or if the estimates and assumptions made need to be adjusted in future periods, are explained in more details in note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements 2019. All assumptions and estimates are based on the circumstances and assessments as of the balance sheet date, and taking into account knowledge gained up to the approval by the Board of Management of the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements on August 13, 2020.
The Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements and interim group management report have not been audited, neither have they been subject to an auditor's review.
The changed economic situation resulting from the measures taken by governments to stabilize the healthcare systems in light of the Covid-19 pandemic, has triggered SGL Carbon to review whether there are indicators for an impairment of property, plant and equipment, goodwill and other intangible assets (impairment test). In this respect, both external indicators (decreased market capitalization due to a fall in the stock market price) and internal indicators (temporary plant closures, reduced sales opportunities) were considered. Accordingly, interim impairment tests were carried out for all cashgenerating units as of March 31, 2020. Given that the Board generally assumes that the negative impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic will not affect the medium and long-term business plan, the forecast and cash flows for 2020 were updated using different calculation scenarios and an expected value was derived. The recoverable amount of the cash-generating units was determined on the basis of their value in use (hierarchy level 3). The calculation was made by adjusting the discount rates (WACC) and cash flows. The rates relevant for the discounting of cash flows (after taxes) lay between 7.2% and 8.3% (prior year: 6.5% and 8.1%). In line with the above outlined basic assumption, the long-term growth-rate of 1.0% (prior year: 1.0%) remained unchanged. The impairment tests carried out confirmed that none of the assets were impaired.
If the current prediction for future business performance does not materialize, there is a risk that non-current assets will be impaired. Economic stimulus programs announced by central banks and governments may not be sufficient to compensate for the negative economic impact of the pandemic. If the negative effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the global economy become more severe and/or persist for a longer period of time, this may have a clear adverse effect on our business. For further information, see Opportunity and Risks in the Interim Group Management Report.
During the reporting period, SGL Carbon adjusted the pension discount rate in Germany and the US by 0.10%-points and minus 0.40%-points, respectively, as a consequence of changed long-term interest rate levels. As of June 30, 2020, the discount rates are 1.20% in Germany (Dec 31, 2019: 1.10%) and 2.80% in USA (Dec 31, 2019: 3.20%). The discount rate adjustment and the revaluation of the plan assets resulted in actuarial losses of Ŷ2.5 million (without tax effect) which have been included in other comprehensive income, thereby decreasing equity in their full amount.
The main joint venture accounted for At-Equity is Brembo SGL Carbon Ceramic Brakes S.p.A (Ceramic Brake Discs), Stezzano, Italy (BSCCB), which is operated together with Brembo and produces and further develops carbon ceramic brake discs. The share of SGL Carbon in the net assets and the share in the net result of the period are allocated to the segment CFM. The table below provides the result of operations and the financial position of BSCCB, as reported in its financial statements (taking into account IFRS 15 effects).

As of June 30, 2020, the market value of the exchange listed corporate bond was Ŷ196.4 million (conforms to level 1 of the fair value hierarchy of IFRS 13) (December 31, 2019: Ŷ245.7 million.
The fair market value of the convertible bond 2018/2023 as of June 30, 2020, was Ŷ102.7 million (December 31, 2019: Ŷ133.2 million). As the fair value is derived from quoted prices in active markets, these financial instruments are allocated to Level 1.
Factoring concluded in the reporting period reduced the carrying amount of trade receivables. The volume of sales of receivables on the balance sheet date was Ŷ27.2 million (31. December 2019: Ŷ17.1 million).
Credit insurers expect the coronavirus pandemic to result in an increased number of insolvencies and higher country risks. SGL Carbon calculated the increased risk of default and the expected credit losses of trade receivables that are not covered by the trade credit insurance, and recorded an impairment loss of Ŷ1.1 million. In order to reduce the risk of default, SGL Carbon increased the rate of credit insured trade receivables. Developments in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic are very dynamic, so it cannot be ruled out that the actual expected credit losses deviate significantly from the expected credit losses recognized based on current estimates and assumptions.
Customer order patterns within the segments CFM and GMS primarily follow overall global trends (e. g. for lightweight materials) and depend on the availability in connection with the pricing of such materials. The overall economic environment is usually a first indicator for any developments in the customers' demand. In addition, individual large projects can significantly impact the business development and overlap regular seasonality.
Issued capital remained unchanged to December 31, 2019 at Ŷ313.2 million as of June 30, 2020 and is divided into 122,341,478 no-par value ordinary bearer shares at Ŷ2.56 per share. During the first half of 2020, no new shares were issued from the authorized capital. As of June 30, 2020, there were 1,335,397 Stock Appreciation Rights (SARs) outstanding. SGL Carbon SE held a total of 70,501 of its own shares (treasury shares) as of June 30, 2020. Based on an average number of 122.3 million shares, basic earnings per share amounted to minus Ŷ0.11 (H1/2019: Ŷ0.08).
The calculation of diluted earnings per share assumes the conversion of outstanding debt securities (convertible bonds) to shares or exercise of other contracts for the issue of common shares such as stock appreciation rights. As a result of the loss-making situation, the above mentioned potentially dilutive financial instruments were not taken into account in the calculation of diluted earnings per share, since these instruments would not have a dilutive effect. Accordingly, EPS diluted is unchanged and amounts to minus Ŷ0.11 (H1/2019: Ŷ0.08).

Following the decision by the Japanese company Showa Denko to discontinue the graphite electrode production site in Meitingen, SGL Carbon und Showa Denko have agreed in July 2020 to amend, adjust and/or terminate all existing contractual relationships by mutual consent for a settlement payment in a low double digit Ŷ million amount to be made by Showa Denko to SGL Carbon. The amount shall be paid in two tranches (Nov. 2020/Feb. 2021). Showa Denko had acquired the graphite electrode business from SGL Carbon in the year 2017. As the site operator, SGL Carbon had entered into a number of contracts (in addition to the rental contract regarding land and buildings), including service agreements, service level agreements and
supply relationships. At present, SGL Carbon's assessment is that the major portion of the settlement amount will be recognized in profit and loss during the third quarter 2020.
