Series production continues at record levels, with year-on-year volume up by 42%

Current Production and Outlook

Series production remained strong and stable throughout the quarter, with record annualised production of 1.35 million Engine Equivalents. The current series production programmes have the potential to grow to an annual volume of approximately 1.7 million Engine Equivalents when all programmes reach mature volume. Accordingly, increased production is expected before year-end. SinterCast is currently supporting product development programmes for passenger vehicle, commercial vehicle and industrial power applications in Europe, Asia and the Americas. It is estimated that these programmes, some of which have already been approved for series production, could provide approximately 2.75 million additional Engine Equivalents per year. The combined potential of the current production programmes and programmes currently under development represents a market opportunity of approximately 4.45 million Engine Equivalents per year within SinterCast's five year planning horizon.

Thus far during 2011, SinterCast has announced new installations at the Daedong and Daeshin foundries in Korea. A third installation has recently been completed at an international cylinder block and head foundry. A formal announcement of this installation, made on a lease basis, will be issued when approval is received by the foundry and the end-user. The installation outlook remains positive for the second half of the year, with discussions at advanced stages in Asia and the Americas. SinterCast maintains the goal, presented in November 2010, of securing five new installations during 2011.

At the GIFA world foundry trade fair, 28 June – 2 July, SinterCast introduced a suite of new technology advances to extend the functionality and capability of its Compacted Graphite Iron (CGI) process control technology. The new technologies focus on increased automation of the foundry process, improved efficiency, and improved accuracy and robustness of the CGI production process. These technologies are now incorporated as standard features of SinterCast's System 3000 process control systems.

SinterCast also took the opportunity of GIFA 2011 to introduce its technology development for the control of ductile iron production. The development was well received and field trials have been secured at a select group of foundries in Europe, Asia and the Americas. The feedback from the field trials, to be conducted during the autumn of 2011, will provide additional technical data to refine and validate the correlations. The trials will also provide feedback as to how the technology will be used by customers, and how it will be valued, providing input to the business model that is currently under development. The objective of the ductile iron technology development is to provide a net cost-benefit to the foundry by reducing magnesium consumption, improving mould yield, reducing casting defects and improving machinability. The field trials are an important step in the potential development of a new ductile iron product.

On 29 July, the US government announced new fuel economy standards for cars and light trucks that will require significant improvements in fuel economy and greenhouse gas emissions. The new standards require an increase to 54.5 mpg for all new cars and trucks sold in the United States in 2025. Administration officials have indicated that the 54.5 mpg standard would reflect combined fuel economy of 62 mpg for cars and 45 mpg for pick-up trucks. These proposed standards can provide an improved opportunity for the increased use of fuel efficient diesel engines in North America.

Financial Summary

Revenue

The April-June 2011 revenue amounted to SEK 12.1 million (SEK 8.6 million). The revenue increase of 41% represents the combined effect of a 31% increase in series production revenue and a 275% increase in equipment sales. The equipment revenue was derived from the sale of a Mini-System 3000 to the Daeshin foundry in Korea plus System 3000 spares and ancillary equipment sold in support of a lease installation at an undisclosed cylinder block and head foundry.

The January-June 2011 revenue amounted to SEK 21.2 million (SEK 16.6 million). The revenue increase of 28% represents the combined effect of a 24% increase in series production revenue and an 85% increase in equipment sales. The increased revenue related to installations is a result of installation support provided at the Daedong foundry in Korea, the sale of a Mini-System 3000 to the Daeshin foundry in Korea, and the sale of System 3000 spares and ancillary equipment, plus on-site engineering service in support of a lease installation, yet to be announced. The revenue for the SinterCast Group relates primarily to income from equipment (sales and leases), series production and engineering service.

Results

The April-June 2011 operating result was SEK 3.6 million (SEK 0.6 million). The sales & administration costs increased, mainly because of the successful SinterCast presence at the GIFA world foundry trade fair, other marketing activities, and increased AGM costs. However, the operating result increased by SEK 3.0 million because of the equipment sales and the series production during the period.

The result after tax for the April-June 2011 period amounted to SEK 6.2 million (SEK 3.4 million), primarily related to the decreased market value of outstanding currency hedge contracts and the revaluation of the deferred tax asset, as described in the section entitled "Deferred Tax Asset".

The January-June 2011 operating result was SEK 4.3 million (SEK 1.3 million). During the period, the operating costs increased by approximately 8% compare to the same period last year. The cost increase is mainly within the sales & marketing function, as a result of SinterCast's efforts to increase market presence, in line with the budget and the overall growth strategy.

The result after tax for the January-June 2011 period amounted to SEK 7.3 million (SEK 4.4 million), primarily related to the decreased market value of outstanding currency hedge contracts and the revaluation of the deferred tax asset, as described in the section entitled "Deferred Tax Asset".

(Amounts in SEK million if not otherwise stated)

Deferred Tax Asset

SinterCast calculates its estimated future taxable profit from secured production orders on a quarterly basis, in order to determine the valuation of its deferred tax asset. The estimated future taxable profit as of 30 June 2011 has been calculated to an amount of SEK 128.8 million (SEK 92.2 million), representing approximately 22% of SinterCast's total carried-forward tax losses, resulting in SEK 33.9 million (SEK 24.3 million) being capitalised as a deferred tax asset. Due to the positive result, during the January-June 2011 period, the deferred tax asset has been reduced by SEK 1.1 million (SEK 0.0 million) to SEK 32.8 million (SEK 24.3 million).

Employee Stock Option Programme

As of 30 June 2011, the cost of the employee stock option programme 2009-2013 was calculated at a total amount of SEK 3.1 million (SEK 3.3 million), based on a closing share price of SEK 50.5 (SEK 49.4). Thus far during 2011, SEK 0.4 million (SEK 0.7 million) was accounted for as costs related to the option programme.

Cashflow, Liquidity and Investments

The April-June 2011 cashflow result was SEK -1.5 million (SEK 2.8 million). The cashflow was decreased by SEK 3.5 million as a result of the dividend of SEK 0.5 per share paid to shareholders on 27 May 2011.

The January-June 2011 cashflow result was SEK 0.0 million (SEK 0.7 million). The liquidity on 30 June 2011 was SEK 40.3 million, unchanged compared to 31 December 2010. However, the liquidity effectively increased by SEK 6.5 million as a result of increased series production and installation activities, and was thereafter decreased by the payment of the dividend amounting to SEK 3.5 million (SEK 0.0 million) and repayment of the bank loan amounting to SEK 3.0 million (SEK 0.0 million). The increased cashflow related to installations includes payment received for the December 2010 activation of the back-up System 2000 at the Dashiang foundry in China and for the System 3000 installation at the Daedong foundry in Korea that was shipped in December 2010 and installed in January 2011.

Investments during the period amounted to SEK 0.7 million (SEK 0.2 million).

(Amounts in SEK million if not otherwise stated)

SinterCast has historically been financed by risk capital provided by its shareholders and has managed its expenses according to market forecasts, resource requirements, and regular reviews of expenditures in relation to the annual budget. Following positive cashflow from operations during 2010, the Board judges that the long-term financing of the Company is secure, allowing the Company to be more pro-active in its operations.

Risks and Uncertainty Factors

The main uncertainty factor for SinterCast continues to be the overall timing of the CGI market ramp-up. This primarily depends on OEM decisions for new CGI engines and other components, the global economy for new vehicle sales and the individual sales success of vehicles equipped with SinterCast-CGI components.

SinterCast has diversified its product development activities in order to minimise the risk associated with any one industrial sector. Current series production is well balanced between V-diesel engines for passenger vehicles, commercial vehicle engine components, and other applications such as exhaust components and industrial power engines. SinterCast continues to support product development in these traditional areas while also exploring other potential applications. SinterCast's presence in Europe, Asia and the Americas also reduces the dependence on any one geographical sector. Pending the results of field trials, the new ductile iron technology development provides the potential to extend the market activities beyond the core CGI arena.

Market Penetration and Competition

SinterCast enjoys global brand recognition and respect as the CGI technology leader and is welcomed by the industry as a reliable and trustworthy partner. However, virtually every company encounters competition, and SinterCast is no exception. As the CGI market has developed, some foundry supply companies have proposed alternative CGI technologies. To SinterCast's knowledge, these have included Hereaus-Electronite, OCC, OxyCast and NovaCast. It is also possible that some foundries may opt to produce CGI using in-house control and discipline, but it is generally judged that this will become less likely as product complexity and production volumes increase, and as specification requirements become more rigidly enforced by the end-users. SinterCast judges that its technology and engineering know-how provides the most reliable and cost-effective solution for the production of high quality CGI. Based on its proven technology, production experience and engineering service, SinterCast will continue to support new CGI development activities to further increase its share of the world CGI production capacity.

SinterCast's business development is strongly linked to the internal combustion engine, and particularly to the diesel engine. New powertrain technologies, such as vehicle electrification (hybrids and plug-in vehicles) and fuel cells attract significant media attention, however, the development and implementation of these technologies remains a long-term project. Most industry forecasts indicate a market penetration for these technologies of approximately 10% in the 2020 to 2025 timeframe, which is below the expected global penetration for diesel engines. In consideration of the technology leadtime and other practical concerns such as increased cost and driving range, SinterCast does not expect these technologies to have a significant effect on the Company's competitive position for the foreseeable future.

Business Model

SinterCast sells or leases the System 3000 hardware, leases the process control software, sells the sampling consumables, and charges a running Production Fee for each tonne of CGI castings produced using the SinterCast technology. Revenue is also derived from spare parts, engineering service, field trials and sales of test pieces. The total running fees (sampling consumables plus Production Fee) depend on the ladle size and the casting yield for each foundry and each product. For a typical cylinder block, the running fees provide revenue of approximately EUR 40~50 per tonne of castings, equivalently, EUR 2.00~2.50 for each 50 kg Engine Equivalent. The SinterCast business model is highly scalable, allowing profitability to rise as the installed base grows and as more products enter series production.

Personnel

As of 30 June 2011, the Group had 16 (13) employees, three (two) of which were female. The core technical staff has the necessary skill, experience and resources to support the ongoing customer activities and the anticipated market development. Further recruitment will be phased with the development of new products and field activities, particularly the need to support new installations and series production activities.

On 14 September 2011, Mr David Gilson will join SinterCast in the capacity of Global Sales & Marketing Director. Mr Gilson will be responsible for broadening SinterCast's penetration in the foundry and end-user markets, supporting the development of new business opportunities and securing new foundry installations, in line with the overall growth strategy. Mr Gilson joins SinterCast with a strong background in global foundry sales and marketing, previously serving as the Global Marketing Manager at Ashland Casting Solutions with responsibility for sales and marketing of Ashland's binder systems. Mr Gilson holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Metallurgical Engineering from the University of Wisconsin – Madison and a Masters of Business Administration degree from the University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee.
