Following an increase to 3.5 million Engine Equivalents in March, annualised series production for the first quarter finished at 2.9 million Engine Equivalents, equalling the production volume in the first quarter of 2020.

Annualised series production in March increased to 3.5 million Engine Equivalents, exceeding the full-year record level of 3.3 million Engine Equivalents established in 2019, prior to the onset of the Covid pandemic. The March volume buoyed the annualised first quarter production to 2.9 million Engine Equivalents, equalling the series production volume in the first quarter of 2020. In perspective, the series production in March was the third highest volume in SinterCast history, equalling May 2019 and only falling short of September and October 2019, at 3.9 million and 3.7 million Engine Equivalents, respectively.
We have known that the market demand – particularly in our largest market in North America – was strong, but we have struggled to show it in the production numbers over the last few months. This was initially due to the cessation of Jaguar Land Rover use of the SinterCast-CGI 3.0 litre V6 engine during the fourth quarter of 2020, followed by a model year changeover of the high-volume F-150 pick-up truck during December and January. These two planned events were compounded by the traditional new-year shutdowns, semiconductor shortages and severe winter weather halting production at one of our main foundry partners in Mexico, making it difficult to show the true demand in January and February. While March may have benefitted from an element of 'catch-up' production, we believe that many of the underlying one-off events are behind us. There will still be Covid and semiconductor challenges ahead, but we believe that March is more indicative of the demand than the recent months.
The first quarter also provided a positive start to our 2021 installation campaign. Following the commissioning of the System 4000 Plus at the new Scania foundry during the fourth quarter, the foundry celebrated the significant 'first iron' milestone in January. It was very rewarding for both Scania and SinterCast that, after a three-year project, the very first CGI ladle was produced fully in-specification. The initial start-up trials are progressing as the foundry continues to prepare for the start-of-production and initial ramp-up later in 2021.
During March, Hyundai Motor Company, a SinterCast customer since 2005, ordered a SinterCast Ladle Tracker system for grey iron and CGI process control. The Hyundai installation comprises six tracking locations to ensure that every ladle has successfully passed every step of the production process. A first for Ladle Tracker, the installation also records the age of each ladle lining in terms of days, hot metal cycles, and the accumulated time of exposure to liquid iron in order to optimise the scheduling of preventive ladle maintenance and re-lining. The Hyundai installation, planned for the fourth quarter of 2021, represents the sixth global installation of our Tracking Technologies and our first installation in Asia. It also represents the first application of our Ladle Tracker technology for the control of grey iron production, providing SinterCast tracking references in each of CGI, grey iron and ductile iron.
The positive installation momentum continued into the second quarter with Impro Industries ordering a SinterCast System 4000 installation for its new foundry in San Luis Potosí, Mexico. The System 4000 will be installed during the third quarter of 2021 and series production is planned to begin before year-end. The initial CGI production in Mexico will be based on the transfer of two SinterCast-CGI industrial power components that have been running at the Impro foundry in China for the past five years. The Impro installation strengthens our dominance in the Americas, where every major cylinder block and head foundry in North and South America is a SinterCast licensee.

Installation discussions are ongoing for CGI process control systems, capacity upgrades, and Tracking Technologies installations. 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.
The revenue for the SinterCast Group relates primarily to income from equipment, series production and engineering service.
| Revenue Breakdown | January−March | January−December | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| (Amounts in SEK million) | 2021 | 2020 | 2020 | 2019 | |
| Equipment1 | 1.5 | 0.4 | 16.6 | 11.9 | |
| Series Production2 | 22.4 | 23.8 | 77.1 | 102.3 | |
| Engineering Service3 | 0.4 | 0.5 | 1.7 | 2.3 | |
| Total | 24.3 | 24.6 | 95.4 | 116.5 | |
| Number of Sampling Cups shipped | 44,600 | 45,100 | 140,600 | 189,800 |

The January−March 2021 revenue amounted to SEK 24.3 million (SEK 24.6 million). Series production revenue decreased by 5.9% to SEK 22.4 million (SEK 23.8 million). With equal year-on-year production volume, series production revenue decreased by 5.9% to SEK 22.4 million (SEK 23.8 million) primarily due to the reduced USD/SEK currency rate (13%) and a 1% decrease in Sampling Cup shipments. Equipment revenue amounted to SEK 1.5 million (SEK 0.4 million), primarily due to spare parts shipments.
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 | January−March | January−December | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| (Amounts in SEK million if not otherwise stated) | 2021 | 2020 | 2020 | 2019 |
| Operating result | 8.5 | 7.9 | 21.6 | 40.2 |
| Result for the period after tax | 6.9 | 6.6 | 22.2 | 48.2 |
| Earnings per share (SEK) | 1.0 | 0.9 | 3.1 | 6.8 |
The January−March 2021 operating result amounted to SEK 8.5 million (SEK 7.9 million), primarily because of a SEK 0.3 million decrease in revenue, resulting in a SEK 0.5 million decrease in gross margin, combined with a decrease in operating costs of SEK 0.9 million and increased other operating income of SEK 0.2 million. The result

for the period after tax amounted to SEK 6.9 million (SEK 6.6 million). During the period, no government support in relation to Covid-19 has been received.
| Cashflow Summary | January−March | Cashflow Changes | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| (Amounts in SEK million if not otherwise stated) | 2021 | 2020 | 2021 vs 2020 | |
| Cashflow from operations, before change in working capital | 8.5 | 8.4 | 0.1 | |
| Change in working capital | -1.8 | 0.7 | -2.5 | |
| Cashflow from operations | 6.7 | 9.1 | -2.4 | |
| Cashflow from investing activities | -1.0 | -0.3 | -0.7 | |
| Cashflow from financing activities | -0.4 | -0.2 | -0.2 | |
| Cashflow total | 5.3 | 8.6 | -3.3 | |
| Liquidity | 31.6 | 41.5 |
The January−March 2021 cashflow from operations decreased by SEK 2.4 million, compared to same period last year, due to lower working capital of SEK 2.5 million primarily related to decreased current liabilities. Total investments amounted to SEK 1.0 million (SEK 0.3 million). Liquidity on 31 March 2021 was SEK 31.6 million (SEK 41.5 million). SinterCast has no loans.
Tax income for the January−March 2021 period amounted to SEK 0.0 million (SEK 0.0 million). The estimated future taxable profit and deferred tax asset calculation is reassessed every quarter. As of 31 March 2021, SEK 214.1 million (SEK 213.1 million) of the SinterCast total carried-forward tax losses are the basis of the updated calculation, resulting in SEK 44.1 million (SEK 44.1 million) being capitalised as a deferred tax asset. The deferred tax asset calculation is based on historical eight-year average currency rates.
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.
COVID-19 remains the dominant near-term risk factor for the global foundry and automotive industries. At the start of 2021, infection rates were rising in most countries and, although vaccination programmes have begun, is not yet possible to predict the recovery or the overall impact on the near-term market development. While it is prudent to expect that series production may be influenced through much of 2021, due to Covid and related material shortages, SinterCast remains confident in the long-term growth of CGI. Other factors that may influence the market risk for SinterCast and its end-user industries include the current global political uncertainty, the renegotiation of international tariffs and free-trade agreements on vehicle sales, climate change legislation, and the overall demand for goods transportation.

No significant risk of material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities has been identified at the balance sheet date and no costs have been taken to the profit and loss due to the Covid-19 virus.
For additional risk and uncertainty factor information, see Note 26 on pages 65–70 in the SinterCast Annual Report 2020.
