CEO Comments

Record production in first half; positive outlook for second half

Benefitting from record series production of 3.5 million Engine Equivalents in May, annualised series production reached 3.4 million Engine Equivalents in the second quarter of 2019, setting a new quarterly record and providing 25% year-on-year growth. In total, four of the last six quarters have established new records for series production, resulting in first-half series production being almost 30% above full-year 2018 and 55% above full-year 2017. The series production outlook remains positive, with strong demand for SinterCast-CGI diesel engines used in Ford and Ram pick-up applications; continued strong demand for commercial vehicle production; and, new programmes coming on-stream throughout the five-year planning horizon.

With revenue derived from both CGI process control and Tracking Technologies, installation revenue for the first half of the year reached SEK 7.1 million, surpassing the historical full-year average of approximately SEK 6.5 million. Together, the increased series production and the strong installation activity resulted in a 30% increase in revenue and a 37% increase in the operating result for the first half of the year. The positive outlook for series production also resulted in an additional SEK 5.3 million of the total carried forward tax losses being taken into the deferred tax asset calculation, resulting in an additional SEK 1.0 million being capitalised as a deferred tax asset.

Positive outlook for installation revenue

The 2019 installation campaign benefitted from a strong second quarter, with five new installations in the field, including the first full installation of the Cast Tracker technology at the Tupy foundry in Mexico and the first Ladle Tracker installation for ductile iron production at the Poitras foundry in Canada. Additional revenue was derived from Mini-System 3000 installations at the China Shipbuilding Industries Corporation foundry for industrial power components and at the Kimura rapid prototyping foundry in the United States; and, from capacity and functionality upgrades of existing System 3000 installations. A Mini-System 3000 was also installed at Jönköping Technical University in Sweden during the second quarter, as part of an in-kind contribution to a long-term university-industry project for the development of Compacted Graphite Iron (CGI), funded in part by the Swedish government. During June, the Motor Castings foundry in the United States ceased operation. The vast majority of the SinterCast-CGI production was transferred to SinterCast foundry partners in the US, Mexico and China, with no adverse effect for SinterCast. Critical components of the SinterCast equipment were recovered and will be refurbished for resale.

With ongoing installation discussions, and new leads established at the GIFA World Foundry Trade Fair in June, the outlook for full-year installation revenue is positive, with the opportunity to challenge the previous record of SEK 10.1 million set in 2013. Building on the System 4000 Plus installation at the new Scania foundry in Sweden, scheduled for mid-2020, the outlook for full-year 2020 installation revenue is equally positive.

Several other installation discussions are ongoing for CGI process control systems, capacity upgrades, and Tracking Technologies installations in grey iron, CGI and ductile iron foundries. In addition to these current installation opportunities, SinterCast is also investigating the development of other unique technologies – within and beyond the scope of thermal analysis – to improve quality and production efficiency in the metals industry, and to broaden our product portfolio and our production base.

Financial Summary

Revenue

The revenue for the SinterCast Group relates primarily to income from equipment, series production and engineering service.

Revenue Breakdown April-June January-June
(Amounts in SEK million if not otherwise stated) 2019 2018 2019 2018
Number of Sampling Cups shipped 49,400 68,800 86,200 101,300
Equipment 1 6.6 2.3 7.1 2.4
Series Production 2 26.7 23.8 48.9 40.3
Engineering Service 3 0.2 0.7 0.4 0.7
Total 33.5 26.8 56.4 43.4

Notes: 1. Includes revenue from system sales and leases and sales of spare parts

  1. Includes revenue from production fees, consumables and software licence fees

  2. . Includes revenue from technical support, on-site trials and sales of test pieces

The April - June 2019 revenue amounted to SEK 33.5 million (SEK 26.8). Series production revenue increased by 12% to SEK 26.7 million (SEK 23.8 million), due to a 26% increase in annualised series production, to 3.4 million (2.7 million) Engine Equivalents, despite a 28% decrease in Sampling Cup shipments to 49,400 (68,800). Equipment revenue amounted to SEK 6.6 million (SEK 2.3 million) and Engineering Service amounted to SEK 0.2 million (SEK 0.7 million).

The January - June 2019 revenue amounted to SEK 56.4 million (SEK 43.4 million). Series production revenue increased by 21% to SEK 48.9 million (SEK 40.3 million), due to a 25% increase in series production, to 3.25 million (2.6 million) Engine Equivalents, combined with a 15% decrease in Sampling Cup shipments to 86,200 (101,300). Year to date Sampling Cup shipments are down primarily due to reduced production of exhaust components at the Dashiang foundry in China. Equipment revenue amounted to SEK 7.1 million (SEK 2.4 million) and Engineering Service amounted to SEK 0.4 million (SEK 0.7 million).

Results

The business activities of SinterCast are best reflected by the Operating Result. This is because the "Result for the period after tax" and the "Earnings per Share" are influenced by the financial income and costs and by the revaluation of tax assets.

Results Summary April-June January-June
(Amounts in SEK million if not otherwise stated) 2019 2018 2019 2018
Operating Result 12.9 11.0 21.8 15.9
Result for the period after tax 14.1 11.4 22.4 15.5
Earnings per Share (SEK) 2.0 1.6 3.2 2.2

The April - June 2019 operating result amounted to SEK 12.9 million (SEK 11.0 million), as a result of higher gross results of SEK 4.5 million primarily derived from higher revenue and product mix, combined with higher operating costs of SEK 2.6 million, primarily due to increased sales-related expenses. The Result for the period after tax amounted to SEK 14.1 million (SEK 11.4 million), primarily related to the SEK 1.9 million increase in the operating result, and an increase of SEK 0.9 million in the financial net (primarily decreased unrealised

revaluation losses derived from outstanding hedge contracts). The implementation of IFRS 16 – Leases had no material effect on the second quarter Operating Result.

The January - June 2019 operating result amounted to SEK 21.8 million (SEK 15.9 million), as a result of higher gross results of SEK 9.7 million primarily derived from higher revenue, combined with higher operating costs of SEK 3.8 million, primarily due to increased sales-related expenses. The Result for the period after tax amounted to SEK 22.4 million (SEK 15.5 million), primarily related to the SEK 5.9 million increase in the operating result, and an increase of SEK 0.9 million in the financial net (primarily decreased unrealised revaluation losses derived from outstanding hedge contracts). The implementation of IFRS 16 – Leases, increased the Operating Result by approximately SEK 0.1 million by transferring lease expenses to depreciation and interest expenses.

Deferred Tax Asset

Tax income for the April - June 2019 period amounted to SEK 0.9 million (SEK 1.0 million), of which SEK 1.0 million was due the reassessed deferred tax calculation and SEK -0.1 million was due to paid income tax. The estimated future taxable profit and deferred tax asset calculation is reassessed every quarter. As of 30 June 2019, SEK 176.9 million (SEK 161.1 million) of the SinterCast total carried-forward tax losses are the basis of the updated calculation, resulting in SEK 36.6 million (SEK 33.3 million) being capitalised as a deferred tax asset.

Cashflow, Liquidity and Investments

Cashflow Summary Year-to-Date January - June Cashflow Changes
(Amounts in SEK million if not otherwise stated) 2019 2018 2019 vs. 2018
Cashflow from operations, before change in working capital 22.4 18.6 3.8
Change in working capital -8.0 -7.7 -0.3
Cashflow from operations 14.4 10.9 3.5
Cashflow from investing activities -0.7 -1.4 0.7

Exchange rate differences in cash and cash equivalents 0.0 0.0 0.0
Cashflow total -4.5 -10.0 5.5
Liquidity 28.3 20.1

The January - June 2019 cashflow from operations increased by SEK 3.5 million compared to the same period last year due to the cashflow increase before changes in working capital of SEK 3.8 million and the decrease in working capital of SEK 0.3 million. Total investments amounted to SEK 0.7 million related to the activation of products under development (SEK 0.5 million), patent investments (SEK 0.1 million) and production equipment (SEK 0.1 million). The total cashflow amounted to SEK -4.5 million (SEK -10.0 million), primarily due to the first dividend payment in the amount of SEK 17.7 million (total dividend 2018: SEK 19.5 million).

Liquidity on 30 June 2018 was SEK 28.3 million (SEK 20.1 million). SinterCast has no loans.

Risks and Uncertainty Factors

Uncertainty factors for SinterCast include the timing of OEM decisions for new CGI engines and other components, adherence to start-of-production dates and ramp projections, the global economy for new vehicle

sales, technology trends and emissions legislation, and the individual sales success of vehicles equipped with SinterCast-CGI components.

In Europe, passenger vehicle sales have increased for the last five years. Most forecasters indicate a stable near-term outlook for passenger vehicles and moderate growth for commercial vehicles. However, political uncertainty remains and this could affect infrastructure, investment, trade and, ultimately, vehicle sales. In Asia, the dominant Chinese market has shown recovery in the commercial vehicle sector, which represents the primary opportunity for CGI. Growth for SinterCast in China depends on the continued modernisation of road infrastructure, enforcement of emissions legislation, and acceptance of the SinterCast business model. In North America, passenger vehicle sales remain strong and SinterCast has benefitted from the recent market growth and the trend toward larger crossovers, SUVs and pick ups. Although the top-three best-selling vehicles in America have recently committed to diesel engine options, the long-term outlook for diesel passenger vehicles remains uncertain. The possible renegotiation of international tariffs and free trade agreements could also have an impact on the global passenger vehicle and commercial vehicle markets.

For full risk and uncertainty factor information, see Note 26 on pages 50 and 51 in SinterCast Annual Report 2018

Organisation

With successful high volume CGI production in customer foundries located in Europe, Asia and the Americas, SinterCast has established a global organisation with employees and offices in Sweden, the United Kingdom, the United States, China and Korea. As of 30 June 2019, the Group had 22 (20) employees, four (three) of whom are female. SinterCast is well positioned to support global market activities and to drive the future growth of the company.

Parent Company

SinterCast AB (publ) is the Parent Company of the SinterCast Group, with its registered office located in Stockholm, Sweden. On 30 June 2019, the Parent Company had 17 (15) employees. The majority of the operations are managed by the Parent Company while local operations in the United Kingdom, United States, Korea and China are managed by the local companies. The information given for the Group in this report corresponds in all material respects to the Parent Company. However, the result for the period may differ between the Group and the Parent Company due to intercompany transactions between the Parent Company and its subsidiaries.

Accounting Principles

The information provided on behalf of the Group in this interim report has been prepared in accordance with Sweden's Annual Accounts Act and IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The reporting for the Parent Company has been prepared in accordance with Sweden's Annual Accounts Act, chapter 9 interim report, and RFR 2. The accounting policies that have been applied for the Group and the Parent Company agree with the accounting policies used in the preparation of the company's latest Annual Report.

The new IFRS standard IFRS – 16 Leases was applied from the financial year beginning 1 January 2019 and SinterCast has chosen the cumulative catch-up approach and has opted to not restate comparative figures (2018). The lease portfolio includes a limited number of contracts, primarily related to operational leases for offices, warehouses, company cars and office equipment. Right-of-use assets have been determined as an amount equal to the lease liabilities as identified at initial application. A single discount rate has been applied. Lease contracts shorter than 12 months or ending within 12 months at the date of application are considered short-term and hence not recognised as lease liability or right-of-use asset. Low value contracts (with a value

below EUR 5,000) are also excluded from being recognised as lease liability or right-of-use asset. The adjustment to the opening balance 1 January 2019 is shown in the following table:

Closing balance Reclassifications Adjustments Adjusted
