Deutsche Börse AG included the SGL Carbon SE share in the SDAX small cap index as of the chaining date on Monday, March 22, 2021. The promotion to the SDAX was completed under the so-called regular entry rule.
On March 10, 2021, SGL Carbon received a funding decision for the development and industrialization of innovative synthetic graphite electrode materials for use in lithium-ion batteries. The funding program runs under the second European IPCEI (Important Project of Common European Interest) / EUBatIn (European Battery Innovation) program, which aims to establish a competitive European value chain for lithium-ion batteries based on sustainable technologies. SGL Carbon's contribution to the IPCEI project ranges from the development of anode materials with enhanced performance, through energy-efficient and sustainable manufacturing processes, to novel recycling concepts. It also includes their scaling up from pilot scale to mass production. The aim is to establish a closed cycle for this cell component over the project period up to 2028. SGL Carbon has already laid a solid foundation for the project through prior investments such as the battery application laboratory at the Meitingen site.
SGL Carbon supplied a hydrochloric acid (HCl) synthesis plant with integrated steam generation to Travancore-Cochin Chemicals Ltd. (TCCL), a major manufacturer in the chlor-alkali sector in southern India. At the end of January, TCCL officially inaugurated the plant in Kochi in the Indian state of Kerala. In the meantime, the plant has already been ramped up to full capacity at the customer's site. The HCl synthesis plant was completely designed and manufactured at SGL's production site in Pune, India. The scope of supply also included structural adaptation work on the customer's production building on a turnkey basis.
On January 21, 2021, SGL Carbon reported on an expansion project at the Arkadelphia site in the US state of Arkansas. By introducing new production processes for fiber-based composites, the production of battery housings was ramped up. This is based on a substantial order for composite battery housings from a North American automotive manufacturer. The expansion reflects an investment in the plant of around \$4.5 million over three years and will increase the workforce at the site by 35 full-time employees. The company is receiving public funding for the investment from the Arkansas Economic Development Commission (AEDC), the City of Arkadelphia and Clark County, among others. The Arkadelphia site expansion began in October 2020 and is expected to be fully operational by the end of 2021.
The restructuring and transformation project is proceeding according to plan in all areas. With a total of over 700 measures in the areas of purchasing, personnel, operations and service functions, we are making steady progress across all sites. As part of the restructuring, headcount will be reduced as well. More than 60% of the planned personnel measures were already implemented at the end of the quarter.
In April 2021, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) raised its global growth forecast for the current year as well as for the following year. Nevertheless, the outlook is subject to major challenges related to differences in the speed of recovery both between and within countries and the continued potential for ongoing economic damage from the crisis. Recovery is underway at different speeds across regions, associated with sharp differences in the pace of vaccine uptake, the extent of economic policy support, and structural factors such as reliance on tourism. Among advanced economies, the United States are expected to surpass their pre-Covid 19 pandemic GDP level this year, whilst many other countries in this group will not reach that level until 2022. The picture is similar for emerging and developing economies. While China was able to maintain GDP levels in 2020 despite the pandemic, many other countries are not expected to achieve this until 2023.
For 2021, the IMF now expects global growth of 6.0%, 0.5 percentage points more than in the January forecast. In 2022, the IMF expects growth of 4.4%, 0.2 percentage points higher than predicted in January.
The IMF sees reasons for the stronger increase primarily in the more pronounced fiscal packages of measures in many economies, some of which were already implemented in the second half of 2020, and in the vaccine-driven recovery of the economies.
For the euro zone, the IMF expects economic output to increase by 4.4% in the current year, followed by a recovery of 3.8% in 2022, meaning that growth in 2021 and 2022 is 0.2 percentage points higher in each case than predicted in the IMF's January forecast. Germany is expected to grow by 3.6% (up 0.1 percentage points) in 2021 and 3.4% (up 0.1 percentage points) next year.
These upwardly revised growth forecasts for 2021 and the following year should support SGL Carbon in achieving its targets.
The quarterly statement as of March 31, 2021 applies the same accounting principles and practices as those used in the 2020 annual financial statements, except for the presentation of interests paid in the cash flow statement. To provide a more meaningful presentation of the cash flow from operating activities, the option under IAS 7.33 was exercised and interest paid and received are shown as a component of the cash flow from financing activities starting from the first quarter of 2021. The prior period presentation was adjusted accordingly.
As a result of the Covid-19 pandemic, 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 times. 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.
Since the beginning of the year 2021, the 29 production sites of SGL Carbon were able to largely maintain production and distribution of products without interruption thanks to the measures taken, but at different degrees of utilization. On March 31 approx. 6% of SGL Carbon employees were in shorttime work or similar measures, particularly in Germany and France.
In order to focus our corporate management even more strongly on cash flow in the current challenging overall environment, we will use EBITDA pre (adjusted for one-off effects and non-recurring items) as the key performance indicator for our business units since the beginning of 2021. This gives us a better picture of the sustainable cash earnings potential of our Company's business units. Our outlook for 2021 is also based on the EBITDA pre.
Since January 1, 2021, SGL Carbon has been managing its operating business in four business units. Thus, focused business units were created, each having a homogeneous business model and clearly defined responsibility for earnings. The former reporting segment Composites - Fibers & Materials (CFM) has been broken down into the units Carbon Fibers (CF) and Composite Solutions (CS). The former reporting segment Graphite Materials & Systems (GMS) has been split into Graphite Solutions (GS) and Process Technology (PT). The reporting segments as presented below are directly derived from the new business units. In addition to the four operating reporting segments, we also have a fifth reporting segment, Corporate, in which central functions are included. The prior year's figures have been adjusted for reasons of comparability.

1) Q1/21 adjusted for insurance benefit of Ŷ2.0 million. Q1/20 adjusted for insurance benefit of Ŷ0.1 million and other material one-off effects of minus Ŷ2.6 million
Sales development in the reporting segment Graphite Solutions (GS) in the first quarter of 2021 was slightly below the prior year's level by around 3% (no change after adjusting for foreign exchange) at Ŷ108.3 million, but slightly above our expectations.
The Battery & Other Energy market segment showed stable development compared with the prior year. In addition, an expected positive sales and earnings effect of around Ŷ9 million is included in this market segment in the first quarter of 2021 from the early termination of a contract. The contract termination agreed in March will lead to a corresponding compensation payment, which will be received in the second quarter. The LED & Semiconductor market segment was able to increase sales significantly. In contrast, demand from the Industrial Applications market segment declined significantly in the first quarter of 2021.
Compared with the good prior-year quarter (Q1/2020: Ŷ20.8 million), EBITDA pre increased by 10% to Ŷ22.9 million in the reporting quarter, mainly as a result of the financial compensation. This led to a temporary increase in the EBITDA pre-margin to 21.1% (Q1/2020: 18.6%). In line with the revenue development, the Battery & Other Energy and LED & Semiconductor market segments recorded an increase in earnings, while earnings in the Automotive & Transportation market segment increased due to productivity improvements. All other market segments recorded a decline in earnings compared to the prior-year quarter due to lower demand.
EBITDA pre does not include insurance benefits of Ŷ2.0 million. Depreciation and amortization of Ŷ6.6 million changed only slightly (Q1/2020: Ŷ6.5 million). Mainly driven by the financial compensation and the insurance benefit, EBIT increased significantly by 55% to Ŷ18.3 million in the reporting period, compared to Ŷ11.8 million in Q1/2020.

1) Q1/20 adjusted for other material one-off effects of minus Ŷ0.5 million
Sales in the reporting segment Process Technology (PT) declined significantly in the first quarter by 16% (currency adjusted: minus 18%) to Ŷ19.3 million (Q1/2020: Ŷ23.0 million). The main reason for this was the decline in order intake from all three regions (Asia, Europe and North America) in the prior year due to the pandemic. Following this decline in demand from the Chemical Industry since mid-2020, order intake recovered noticeably in the first quarter of 2021, amongst others, due to the conclusion of contracts for synthesis plants.
This expected temporary decline in sales also led to a reduction in EBITDA pre from Ŷ0.7 million in the prior-year quarter to minus Ŷ0.5 million in the reporting quarter. This corresponds to an EBITDA pre-margin of minus 2.6% (Q1/2020: 3.0%). Including depreciation and amortization of Ŷ0.4 million in the reporting quarter (Q1/2020: Ŷ0.5 million), EBIT came to minus Ŷ0.9 million (Q1/2020: minus Ŷ0.3 million).

1) Q1/21 adjusted for the carry-forward of the purchase price allocations of the SGL Composites companies totaling minus Ŷ2.4 million and the release of restructuring provisions of Ŷ0.2 million. Q1/20 adjusted for the carry-forward of the purchase price allocations of the SGL Composites companies totaling minus Ŷ2.5 million and other material one-off effects of minus Ŷ1.0 million
At Ŷ81.1 million, sales in the reporting segment CF in the first quarter of 2021 were on the same level as in the prior year (currency adjusted: plus 4%) and slightly above expectations. The earnings situation in the first quarter of 2021 was characterized by the favorable Automotive business, which exceeded expectations and the prior-year figure. Sales in the Wind Energy market in the first quarter of 2021 were slightly below prior year. The Acrylic fibers business, on the other hand, is characterized by currently volatile raw material prices and shows higher sales due to higher raw material prices, which is attributable to the increased acrylonitrile price. Sales in the other customer industries declined slightly due to portfolio adjustments.
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). Aggregated sales of the At-Equity accounted investments increased by approximately 33% to Ŷ62.4 million in Q1/2021 (Q1/2020: Ŷ46.9 million, 100% values for companies). This sales revenue is not included in Group consolidated sales revenues.
EBITDA pre in the first quarter of 2021 improved significantly to Ŷ13.9 million compared with Ŷ10.3 million in the prior-year quarter due to the Ŷ3.7 million improvement in income from investments accounted for At-Equity. At Textile Fibers, the increase in raw material prices was largely passed on to customers, although there was no improvement in the gross margin. The EBITDA pre-margin in the reporting segment improved significantly to 17.1%, compared with 12.6% in the prior-year quarter.
Taking into account the decrease in depreciation and amortization of Ŷ4.1 million (Q1/2020: Ŷ5.7 million) due to the impairment loss recognized in the prior year, operating profit (EBIT) improved to Ŷ7.6 million in the first quarter of 2021 (Q1/2020: Ŷ1.1 million). This development was mainly due to the improved At-Equity result.

The reporting segment Composite Solutions (CS) is strongly affected by the Corona crisis due to its share of sales with the Automotive and Aerospace market segments, which are affected more than average. Due to the recovery in the Automotive market segment and the start of new automotive projects, the first quarter got off to an encouraging start. Revenues in the reporting segment CS increased significantly by 24% to Ŷ28.6 million in the first quarter of 2021 compared to the prior year's figure of Ŷ23.0 million (adjusted for currency effects: 26%).
EBITDA pre in the reporting segment CS improved to Ŷ1.8 million in the first quarter of 2021, compared to minus Ŷ0.8 million in the prior-year quarter. Accordingly, the EBITDA pre-margin in this reporting segment increased significantly to 6.3%, compared to minus 3.5% in the prior-year quarter. In addition to strong sales growth, this development was due to savings in connection with the restructuring of the reporting segment and individual improvement initiatives.
Including regular depreciation and amortization of Ŷ1.3 million (Q1/2020: Ŷ1.1 million), operating profit/loss (EBIT) improved to Ŷ0.3 million in the first quarter of 2021 (Q1/2020: minus Ŷ2.4 million).

As expected, sales revenue in the reporting segment Corporate in the first quarter of 2021 were significantly lower year-on-year (no currency effect). This was due to lower rental income as a result of the sale of land and buildings at the former site in Lemwerder in the prior quarter and lower services to divested businesses.
EBITDA pre in the reporting segment Corporate decreased significantly year-on-year to minus Ŷ5.1 million (Q1/2020: minus Ŷ2.0 million) despite savings in the central research department. This decrease is attributable on the one hand to higher consulting expenses, which will not be repeated to the same extent in subsequent quarters, and on the other hand the prior-year quarter still included positive earnings effects from final invoices for services to divested businesses. In addition to depreciation and amortization of Ŷ1.4 million (Q1/2020: Ŷ1.8 million), adjustments of Ŷ1.8 million were incurred in the first quarter of 2021 for restructuring, resulting in a reduction of EBIT to minus Ŷ8.3 million, compared to minus Ŷ3.8 million in the prior-year quarter.

Sales revenue of SGL Carbon fell by 2% (no currency effect) to Ŷ241.5 million (Q1/2020: Ŷ246.8 million), due to the developments described in the segment reporting. Gross margin remained stable at 22.4% (Q1/2020: 22.5%) in the reporting period. Accordingly, gross profit decreased slightly to Ŷ54.1 million in the reporting period from Ŷ55.5 million in the prior year period. As a result of the restructuring measures, selling, administration and R&D costs were reduced by 8% to Ŷ41.9 million (Q1/2020: Ŷ45.4 million), and thus at a lower rate than sales revenue. Savings in selling and R&D costs were faced by higher administrative costs. The increase in administrative costs is due to higher consulting expenses, which will not be incurred to this extent in the following quarters.
EBITDA pre in the reporting period increased by 14% to Ŷ33.0 million (Q1/2020: Ŷ29.0 million). This is due to the At-Equity result in the reporting segment CF, which has improved by Ŷ3.7 million, and the financial compensation at GS. Higher consulting expenses in the reporting segment Corporate had an opposite effect.
Effects, that are not included in EBITDA pre or EBIT pre in the reporting period mainly comprise of an insurance benefit of Ŷ2.0 million, restructuring expenses of Ŷ1.6 million and the additional amortization of identified assets and liabilities from purchase price allocations for the SGL Composites companies of minus Ŷ2.6 million (Q1/2020: minus Ŷ2.6 million). In the first quarter of the prior year, there were also other material one-off effects of minus Ŷ4.4 million. EBIT increased significantly to Ŷ17.0 million in the reporting period compared to Ŷ6.4 million in first quarter of 2020. In addition to the positive effects mentioned above the increase in EBIT also resulted from the decrease in depreciation by Ŷ1.8 million to Ŷ13.8 million (Q1/2020: Ŷ15.6 million).

Interest expenses include the cash-related interest components for the 2019/2024 corporate bond with an interest rate of 4.625% and the 2018/2023 convertible bond with an interest rate of 3.0%. 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.
As a result of the less interest expenses for pensions as well as lower impacts from imputed interest for liabilities, the net interest expense for the reporting period improved slightly from minus Ŷ6.7 million in the prior year to minus Ŷ6.1 million. In addition, the other financial result, especially relating to the foreign currency valuation of group loans, improved significantly year-on-year to minus Ŷ0.3 million (Q1/2020: minus Ŷ2.7 million). Primarily as a result of this valuation effect, financial result improved significantly to minus Ŷ6.4 million (Q1/2020: minus Ŷ9.4 million).

Mainly due to the increased EBIT and improved financial result, the result before income taxes increased from minus Ŷ3.0 million in the prior year period to Ŷ10.6 million in the reporting period. The increase of income tax expense to Ŷ4.4 million (Q1/2020: Ŷ1.2 million) reflects the current tax expenses on the positive earnings contributions of Group companies.
Consolidated net result of the period amounted to Ŷ6.1 million compared to minus Ŷ4.3 million in the prior year period (after deduction of non-controlling interests in the reporting period and in the first quarter 2020 of Ŷ0.1 million, respectively).

Total assets as of March 31, 2021 of Ŷ1,321.0 million increased by Ŷ62.2 million or 4.9% compared to December 31, 2020. The increase results in particular from the increase in liquidity as well as the rise in trade receivables and contract assets. In addition, currency effects from the stronger US dollar contributed Ŷ19.9 million to the increase in the balance sheet total.
Due to seasonal factors, capital expenditure in property, plant and equipment and intangible assets of Ŷ6.9 million in the first quarter of 2021 was well below the level of depreciation and amortization on non-current assets of Ŷ16.5 million (including amortization of Ŷ2.6 million from purchase price allocation). This led to a reduction in fixed assets. Positive currency translation effects of Ŷ11.7 million, particularly from the stronger US dollar, had more than offset this operational reduction in noncurrent assets and, in addition to the increase in investments accounted for using the equity method, led to an increase in non-current assets. In contrast, current assets increased significantly. The rise in trade receivables and contract assets of Ŷ23.5 million and in total liquidity of Ŷ26.8 million mainly contributed to the increase in current assets of Ŷ55.2 million.
The decrease in non-current liabilities is mainly attributable to the reduction in pension provisions by Ŷ29.2 million to Ŷ310.9 million. This decrease is mainly the result of the adjustment of the pension discount rates to the expected longterm interest environment in Germany by 0.4%-points up to 1.0% and in the US by 0.6%-points up to 3.2%. A new low-interest long-term bank loan of Ŷ13.0 million had a opposite effect. The increase in current liabilities resulted from the rise in trade payables and contract liabilities by Ŷ20.0 million and the rise in provisions of Ŷ9.7 million, in particular for accruals related to personnel costs.

Working capital increased slightly by Ŷ6.6 million to Ŷ358.4 million as of March 31, 2021. The nominal increase results on one hand from the reported increase in trade receivables and contract assets by Ŷ23.5 million and inventories by Ŷ3.1 million. On the other hand, trade payables and contract liabilities increased by Ŷ20.0 million.
As of March 31, 2021, equity attributable to the shareholders of the parent company increased by Ŷ49.4 million to Ŷ270.1 million (December 31, 2020: Ŷ220.7 million). The increase is attributable to the positive effects from the adjustment of interest rates for pension provisions to the increased interest rate environment in Germany und the US by Ŷ31.2 million. Positive foreign currency changes of Ŷ12.4 million and the positive net result of Ŷ6.1 million have contributed to the increase. Overall, the equity ratio as of March 31, 2021 increased significantly to 20.4% compared to 17.5% as of December 31, 2020.

Financial debt mainly includes the corporate bond 2019/2024 of Ŷ250.0 million, the convertible bond 2018/2023 of Ŷ159.3 million, liabilities to banks of Ŷ30.8 million (December 31, 2020: Ŷ19.0 million) and the netted amounts of the remaining imputed interest components as well as the refinancing costs.
As of March 31, 2021, net financial debt decreased by Ŷ15.0 million or 5% to Ŷ271.5 million. This development is primarily attributable to the positive free cash flow of Ŷ24.1 million less interest payments of Ŷ7.7 million and less the repayments for IFRS 16 lease liabilities of Ŷ2.0 million.

2) Defined as cash flow from operating activities minus cash flow from investing activities
Cash flow from operating activities improved by Ŷ0.8 million to Ŷ30.4 million due to the positive earnings performance in the first quarter of 2021, despite an increase in net working capital (net working capital remained almost unchanged in the first quarter of the prior year). Cash flow from investing activities decreased from minus Ŷ2.8 million in the prior year period to minus Ŷ6.3 million in the reporting period, mainly due to the cash inflows received in the prior year's period from a dividend of Ŷ5.0 million from the joint venture with Brembo, which, in 2021, will only be paid in the second quarter.
As a result of the above effects, free cash flow from continuing operations decreased slightly to Ŷ24.1 million in the reporting period (Q1/2020: Ŷ26.8 million).
There was no free cash flow from discontinued operations in the reporting period, compared to minus Ŷ2.3 million in the prior year period. In the prior year period, the figure primarily included a tax payment for prior years for the former reporting segment PP.

Regarding existing opportunities and risks, we refer to the detailed statements in the annual report for the financial year which ended December 31, 2020. The implemented organizational rules and procedures were refined at the beginning of the current fiscal year and enhanced for measuring the risk-bearing capacity of the company in order to identify all major risk types and significant risks at an early stage and to take appropriate management measures.
In the Annual Report 2020, we already referred to the risks arising from the possible impact of the Corona virus on the economic environment. Following the severe economic slump in 2020, we continue to expect the global economy to recover significantly through the course of 2021 compared with the low level in 2020. This is reflected in increased expectations for demand, order intake and sales volumes in most market segments in 2021. However, currently there is still a high degree of uncertainty regarding the extent and timing of this recovery.
In the reporting segment Graphite Solutions, opportunities and risks essentially depend on how order intake develops compared to planning. In the Industrial Application market segment in particular, demand is still clearly restrained. As the reporting segment Graphite Solutions is characterized by a comparatively high proportion of fixed costs, there is a particular risk that cost structures can only be partially adjusted to demand or with a time lag. This may have a significant temporary negative impact on earnings.
Risks in the reporting segment Process Technology may arise from a weaker demand, which could also have a negative impact on price development.
In the reporting segment Carbon Fibers, the risk profile changed from market risks to production and raw material risks. Due to the sharp short-term increase in raw material prices for acrylonitrile, there is a risk that important customer applications in the textile sector could switch to polyester as a substitute material. This may have a significant temporary negative impact on earnings.
In the reporting segment Composite Solutions, opportunities and risks mainly depend on a successful ramp up of automotive projects.
Furthermore, the business risks described above may have a negative impact on the financial position. A possible increase in SGL's working capital, for example because the production pipeline cannot be adjusted in line with demand, would also have a negative impact. With liquidity of around Ŷ169 million at the end of the first quarter of 2021, we believe that we are well positioned in the current environment.
On the basis of currently available information, it is our opinion that no individual material risks exist, neither presently nor in the foreseeable future, that could jeopardize the business. Even if the individual risks are viewed on an aggregate basis, they do not threaten SGL Carbon as a going concern.
We confirm our guidance for the fiscal year 2021. The following statements summarize the detailed report in the Annual Report 2020.
The overall economic situation remains dominated by Covid-19. In particular, a further wave of pandemics and an associated further decline in demand are not included in the current annual forecast.
Following the sharp economic downturn in 2020, we continue to expect fiscal year 2021 to be characterized by a moderate recovery. This includes the reported effect from the contract termination in the reporting segment Graphite Solutions, and therefore cannot be projected for the full year.

Since the end of 2020, the Graphite Solutions reporting segment has been in the pandemic-related downturn mainly resulting from the market segment Industrial Applications, which was accompanied by a weak order entry. As reported, we were in a consolidation phase in the first quarter of 2021. As we have already been slowly ramping up production again since the beginning of 2021, we expect earnings to improve slightly over the course of the year due to increasing fixed cost absorption and savings from the restructuring.
In the reporting segment Process Technology, we are currently seeing an upturn in project inquiries from customers. As the sustainability of the rising order entry remains to be seen, we continue to expect sales revenue and EBITDA pre at prior-year level.
In 2020, the earnings situation in the reporting segment Carbon Fibers was characterized by the Automotive market segment, which developed positively despite the consequences of the pandemic and should also have a positive impact in fiscal 2021. We also expect raw material price increases in the other product areas at Carbon Fibers, some of which will be passed on to customers. We continue to expect sales revenue at the level of 2020, while EBITDA should improve slightly as a result of the restructuring measures initiated.
Sales revenue in the reporting segment Composite Solutions will increase significantly in 2021, as new automotive projects such as the production of battery cases made from composite materials are ramping up and there is also high demand for existing projects. In particular, the significantly increased sales volume as well as savings will contribute to a positive EBITDA pre.
In total, we were able to increase liquidity at the end of the first quarter of 2021 compared to year-end 2020. For fiscal year 2021, we continue to expect a capital expenditure budget on the level of depreciation and amortization. Due to the revival of business, we expect working capital to increase during the course of the year. Due to the adjusted presentation of interest paid and received in the cash flow from financing activities, we expect a positive free cash flow in the amount of the reclassified interest item of approx. Ŷ20 million.
