CEO Message

Series production at all-time high; positive growth outlook

Following strong production through the summer shutdown period, with July and August both setting new monthly highs, the volume in September was lower than anticipated, primarily due to decreases in two high-volume programmes caused by supply chain constraints. Ultimately, annualised production in September finished at 3.6 million Engine Equivalents, resulting in 3.6 million Engine Equivalents for the third quarter, equalling the all-time quarterly record set in the previous quarter. Year-on-year production for the third quarter was up by 12.5% while year-to-date production for the January to September period was up by 13%. The highlight of the quarter was the strong ramp of the new Scania commercial vehicle production following the return from the summer shutdown, reinforcing the positive growth outlook for the rest of the year and for 2023.

Benefitting from strong series production and increased USD / SEK exchange rates, revenue for the period increased by 18%. The revenue from series production, derived from the production fee, consumables and software licence fees, increased by 32% as Sampling Cup shipments also recovered during the quarter. During the first two quarters, Sampling Cup shipments were down by 20% as customers reduced inventory levels in response to improving global supply chains. However, year-on-year Sampling Cup shipments for the third quarter increased by 27%, recovering some of the earlier deficit. Year to date, Sampling Cup shipments remain 9% behind 2021, impacting the revenue comparison by approximately SEK 2.5 million. Installation revenue is similarly down by SEK 2.9 million year-to-date. Ultimately, the revenue for the first three quarters of the year finished at SEK 85.8 million, providing a 10% year-on-year increase.

Series production remained strong in the third quarter, finishing at 3.6 million Engine Equivalents, equalling the all-time high set in the second quarter. Year-on-year growth for the third quarter was 12.5% while the year-to-date growth for the January to September period was 13%.

The highlight of the quarter was the strong ramp of the new Scania commercial vehicle production following the return from the summer shutdown, reinforcing the positive growth outlook for the rest of the year and for 2023.

Commercial vehicles accounted for 45% of the production volume during the second quarter, providing the largest contribution, and the largest growth opportunity. The ramp of the new Scania 13 litre engine provided a strong contribution to the commercial vehicle wave during the third quarter, and is expected to provide one million

incremental Engine Equivalents when mature volume is reached. In addition to the 13 litre ramp, Scania recently announced two new developments that will provide incremental volume for SinterCast. The Scania announcements include the launch of a new 11 litre version of the engine that will be used by the global Traton group, plus the construction of a new wholly-owned manufacturing facility in China that is planned to start production during late-2024 or early-2025. With an intended production of at least 20,000 commercial vehicles per year for the domestic Chinese and the Asian export market, the Chinese facility provides further growth opportunities for SinterCast.

First Automobile Works (FAW) in China started production of a new 16 litre commercial vehicle engine during the second quarter. As a new entry in the market, and in the face of continued Covid-related challenges in China, the production has not yet provided a meaningful contribution and the volume is expected to remain limited during the fourth quarter. However, FAW has recently started the development of new 11 litre and 13 litre derivatives of the 16 litre engine, also with SinterCast-CGI cylinder blocks. Pre-production of these engines commenced during the third quarter and initial series production is expected during 2023. Considering that China is the largest heavy duty commercial vehicle market in the world, and that FAW has been the sales leader for six consecutive years with approximately 25% market share, the new 11 litre and 13 litre CGI engines provide a significant growth opportunity for SinterCast within the five year planning horizon, and beyond.

During the period, Ram Trucks announced that sales of the 3.0 litre V6 diesel engine used in the Ram 1500, with SinterCast-CGI cylinder block and bedplate, would be discontinued by year-end, affecting the current volume by approximately 2%. While the overall market continues to benefit from pent-up demand and improving semiconductor supply, the outlook is simultaneously burdened by increasing energy prices, inflation, recession concerns, and geopolitical conflict. Despite the increased uncertainty, SinterCast has posted quarterly production records in each of the three quarters in 2022, providing a strong foundation for further growth. With lower than expected volume in September, the target to reach the monthly four million Engine Equivalent milestone before year-end has become more difficult, and it is now likely that this milestone will fall into 2023. We maintain our targets of reaching the monthly five million Engine Equivalent milestone in 2024; and, continuing our track record of delivering double-digit compounded annual growth rates.

Considering that China is the largest heavy duty commercial vehicle market in the world, and that FAW has been the sales leader for six consecutive years with approximately 25% market share, the new 11 litre and 13 litre CGI engines provide a significant growth opportunity for SinterCast within the five year planning horizon, and beyond.

Improving installation outlook

During the period, two new orders were received CGI process control systems in China. These include a fully automated System 4000 at the Dongfeng Automobile foundry and a mini-system installation at the Dongya foundry. The Dongfeng Auto installation will be commissioned during 2023 and will enable the new greenfield facility to compete for future CGI commercial vehicle orders within the Dongfeng Group. The Dongya installation is planned to be commissioned during the fourth quarter with the start of industrial power production beginning before yearend.

Following reduced investment commitments throughout the foundry industry during the Covid years, the installation revenue thus far during 2022 revenue has been limited to SEK 1.3 million. While the Ladle Tracker installation at the Teksid foundry in Mexico and the mini-system at the Dongya foundry in China will provide a welcome boost

during the fourth quarter, full-year installation revenue is expected to be well below the historical average of SEK 8 million. Building on the System 4000 installation at Dongfeng Automobile, and with ongoing discussions for CGI process control systems, capacity upgrades and Tracking installations, we expect installation revenue to return to historical levels in both 2023 and 2024.

Financial Summary

Revenue

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

Revenue Breakdown July−September January−September
(Amounts in SEK million) 2022 2021 2022 2021
Series production1 29.2 22.1 83.3 72.4
Equipment2 0.3 2.5 1.3 4.2
Engineering service3 0.3 0.7 1.2 1.3
Total 29.8 25.3 85.8 77.8

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

2 Includes revenue from sold and leased CGI and Tracking systems and spare parts

  1. Includes revenue from engineering service, demonstrations and test pieces

The July−September 2022 revenue increased by 18% to SEK 29.8 million (SEK 25.3 million). Series production revenue increased by 32% and amounted to SEK 29.2 million (SEK 22.1 million), following annualised series production of 3.6 million (3.2 million) Engine Equivalents and shipment of 45,000 (35,400) Sampling Cups, combined with favourable exchange rates. Equipment revenue amounted to SEK 0.3 million (SEK 2.5 million). Engineering Service amounted to SEK 0.3 million (SEK 0.7 million).

The January−September 2022 revenue increased by 10% to SEK 85.8 million (SEK 77.8 million). Series production revenue increased by 15% and amounted to SEK 83.3 million (SEK 72.4 million) following annualised series production of 3.5 million (3.1 million) Engine Equivalents and shipment of 142,300 (156,300) Sampling Cups. The increases in production volume and favourable exchange rates were partially offset by the 9% decrease in Sampling Cup shipments and lower equipment revenue. Equipment revenue amounted to SEK 1.3 million (SEK 4.2 million). Engineering Service amounted to SEK 1.2 million (SEK 1.3 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 July−September January−September
(Amounts in SEK million if not otherwise stated) 2022 2021 2022 2021
Operating result 12.9 8.0 26.1 23.7
Result for the period after tax 11.0 7.4 25.3 25.7
Earnings per share (SEK) 1.6 1.0 3.6 3.6

The July−September 2022 operating result increased by SEK 5.0 million to SEK 12.9 million (SEK 8.0 million). The gross margin increased by SEK 4.5 million due to higher production fee revenue and lower consumables and

equipment sales. Operating costs increased by SEK 0.4 million. Other operating income increased by SEK 2.3 million primarily due to revaluation of customer receivables from USD to SEK. The result for the period after tax increased by SEK 3.6 million to SEK 11.0 million (SEK 7.4 million), primarily due to the SEK 5.0 million increase in operating result, a SEK 1.4 million reduction in financial net (revaluation changes in unrealised forward contracts following the recent depreciation of the Swedish krona).

The January−September 2022 operating result increased by SEK 2.3 million to SEK 26.1 million (SEK 23.7 million), due to the combined effect of a SEK 8.3 million increase in gross margin and a SEK 2.4 million increase in operating costs. Other operating income increased by SEK 1.7 million primarily due to revaluation of customer receivables from USD to SEK. Other operating costs increased by SEK 5.4 million primarily due to the termination of the deferred purchase agreement with WHB resulting in a one-time impact on the result of approximately SEK 4.9 million. The System 4000 will be returned to SinterCast and will be refurbished for resale. The result for the period after tax decreased by SEK 0.4 million to SEK 25.3 million (SEK 25.7 million), primarily due to the SEK 2.3 million increase in operating result, increased financial costs of SEK 1.8 million and lower tax income of SEK 0.9 million following the revaluation of the deferred tax asset.

Cashflow Summary January−September Cashflow Changes
(Amounts in SEK million if not otherwise stated) 2022 2021 2022 vs 2021
Cashflow from operations, before change in working capital 26.6 25.0 1.6
Change in working capital -13.3 3.7 -17.0
Cashflow from operations 13.3 28.7 -15.3
Cashflow from investing activities -2.0 -2.7 0.7
Cashflow from financing activities -18.9 -14.9 -4.0
Cashflow total -7.6 11.1 -18.7
Liquidity 20.0 37.4

Cashflow, Liquidity and Investments

The January−September 2022 cashflow from operations decreased by SEK 15.3 million, compared to the same period last year, primarily due to the SEK 17.0 million increase in working capital. The increase, since year-end 2021, is primarily due to a SEK 9.9 million increase in customer receivables following the mandatory extension of payment terms by a major customer from 60 to 90 days and a SEK 4.9 million increase in inventory to secure upcoming customer deliveries. Total investments amounted to SEK 2.0 million (SEK 2.7 million). Total cashflow amounted to SEK -7.6 million (SEK 11.1 million). Liquidity on 30 September 2022 was SEK 20.0 million (SEK 37.4 million). SinterCast currently has no loans. An overdraft credit facility in the amount of SEK 12.5 million is under discussion with the SinterCast bank. Year-end liquidity, together with the pending credit facility, is expected to be in excess of SEK 20 million.

Income Tax and Deferred Tax Asset

Tax income for the January−September 2022 period amounted to SEK 3.0 million (SEK 3.9 million). The estimated future taxable profit and deferred tax asset calculation is reassessed every quarter. As of 30 September 2022, SEK 248.0 million (SEK 233.5 million) of the SinterCast total carried-forward tax losses are the basis of the updated calculation, resulting in SEK 51.1 million (SEK 48.1 million) being capitalised as a deferred tax asset. The deferred tax asset calculation is based on historical ten-year average currency rates.

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.

Covid-19, related material shortages, energy costs, inflation, interest rate and economic uncertainties and the geopolitical instability exacerbated by the war in Ukraine are the dominant near-term risk factors for the global foundry and automotive industries. While it is not yet possible to quantify the impact of these factors on the nearterm market development, 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 renegotiation of international tariffs and free-trade agreements on vehicle sales, climate change legislation and the associated growth of alternative powertrain technologies, 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 Covid-19.

For additional risk and uncertainty factor information, see the SinterCast Annual Report.

In the event that the Board considers that the liquidity exceeds the amount needed to support the operational requirements and strategic objectives, the Board has the option to propose an extraordinary dividend or a share buy-back to further adjust the liquidity.

The first dividend was distributed in May 2011 for the financial year 2010 and an increasing ordinary dividend has been distributed every year since then. Since 2019, the dividend has been distributed in two equal instalments. The dividend is approved at the Annual General Meeting. Since the first dividend was provided, SinterCast has distributed SEK 243 million to its shareholders, representing 104% of its operating result.

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.

Fair Value Measurement of Financial Assets and Liabilities

The Annual General Meeting (AGM) of the shareholders decided on an ordinary dividend of SEK 4.50 per share and an extraordinary dividend of SEK 0.50 per share (totally SEK 35,450,665) for the financial year 2021. The dividend is divided into two equal payments of SEK 2.50 per share with the record date 19 May 2022 for the first payment and the record date 7 November 2022 for the second payment

Outlook Guidance:

While the market continues to benefit from pent-up demand and improving semiconductor supply, the outlook is simultaneously burdened by increasing energy prices, inflation, recession concerns, and geopolitical conflict. Higher interest rates have started to impact vehicle sales, offsetting the pent-up demand. With lower than expected volume in September, the ambition of reaching the monthly four million Engine Equivalent milestone before year-end has become more difficult, and it is now likely that this milestone will fall into 2023. SinterCast maintains the target of reaching the monthly five million Engine Equivalent milestone in 2024. Following reduced investment commitments during the Covid years, and installation revenue of just SEK 1.3 million thus far during 2022, full-year installation revenue is expected to be well below the historical average of SEK 8 million. Installation revenue is expected to return to historical levels in both 2023 and 2024.

Previously Published (17 August 2022)

Overall, the market outlook is positive. Semiconductor supply has started to improve and this recovery is expected to span well into 2023, fuelling recovery momentum for the automotive and foundry industries. While the onset of war in Ukraine disrupted the supply of some subcomponents, particularly for European OEMs, this challenge has been largely overcome and has not had any significant impact on the SinterCast production. At the half-year point, we have posted quarterly production records in both the first and second quarters, providing a strong foundation for further growth in the second half of the year and beyond. We maintain our targets of reaching the monthly four million Engine Equivalent milestone this year, and reaching the monthly five million Engine Equivalent milestone in 2024, continuing our track record of delivering double-digit compounded annual growth rates.

Review report

To the Board of Directors of SinterCast AB (publ.)

Corp. id. 556233-6494

Introduction

We have reviewed the condensed interim financial information (interim report) of SinterCast AB (publ.) as of 30 September 2022 and the nine-month period then ended. The Board of Directors and the Managing Director are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim report in accordance with IAS 34 and the Annual Accounts Act. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim report based on our review.

Scope of review

We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements ISRE 2410 Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and other generally accepted auditing practices and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim report is not prepared, in all material respects, for the Group in accordance with IAS 34 and the Annual Accounts Act, and for the Parent Company in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act.
