CEO Comments

Positive outlook as Ford and FCA engine production poised to increase

Following series production of 2.0 million Engine Equivalents in the first quarter, series production reached the all-time high of 2.2 million Engine Equivalents in the second quarter. The increase in production was primarily due to the recovery of the Ford V6 diesel engine following retooling of the manufacturing line to increase capacity, and to the continued ramp-up of industrial power engine components at the Caterpillar foundry in the United States. Overall, the half-year annualised series production is 1.2% below the full-year 2016 volume. Despite the stable production, the year-to-date revenue is approximately 10% lower, primarily due to a 25% decrease in year-to-date Sampling Cup shipments, caused by order timing and inventory adjustments. Sampling Cup shipments are expected to increase during the second half of the year. The second quarter production resulted in three of the last five quarters equalling the all-time high of 2.2 million Engine Equivalents, despite temporary reductions in some high-volume programmes. This shows the strength of the underlying series production foundation that is diversified over approximately 65 programmes, providing a profitable base and a stable platform for future growth.

The series production outlook for the second-half of the year remains positive, with the potential for increased volumes of the Ford 3.0 litre V6 diesel leading up to the start of foundry production for the new diesel F-150 pick-up in North America, and resumed series production of the FCA 3.0 litre V6 diesel in the second half of the year. On 28 July, FCA announced that the United States Environmental Protection Agency and the California Air Resources Board have approved the Model Year 2017 diesel engine for sales in the Ram 1500 pick-up and in Jeep Grand Cherokee vehicles. The outlook for the second half is also buoyed by the pending start of production of the new Jiangling Motors (JMC) cargo truck in China. Announced on 19 April at the 2017 Shanghai International Automobile Exhibition, the new truck offers a 9.0 litre engine option with SinterCast-CGI cylinder block and head, or a 13.0 litre engine with a SinterCast-CGI cylinder head. The JMC production is scheduled to begin during the autumn.

Foundries prepare for increased production

During the quarter, the Tupy foundry in Saltillo, Mexico ordered an upgrade of the existing SinterCast process control system to the full System 3000 Plus standard for its Heavy Duty Moulding Line. The upgrade was ordered in advance of the start of production of a new high volume CGI cylinder block for a new passenger vehicle application. The Heavy Duty line is capable of supporting CGI series production for both passenger vehicles and commercial vehicles. Also during the quarter, the Teksid foundry in Monclova, Mexico ordered a capacity and functionality upgrade to expand the existing System 3000 installation to the System 3000 Plus standard, in preparation for the start of production of an industrial power CGI engine component.

Several new installation discussions are ongoing for CGI process control systems, and for the expansion of existing installations to increase capacity or to incorporate additional process control features. Beyond the core CGI activity, the installation intensity has been augmented by the introduction of the SinterCast Ladle Tracker® , Cast TrackerTM and Operator TrackerTM technologies. The Tracking Technologies have been well received in the industry, adding to the recognition of SinterCast as a creative and competent provider of unique precision measurement and process control technologies to the metals industry. Tracking discussions are ongoing for CGI applications, grey and ductile iron foundries, steel mills, and for other metal processing applications. As production references become established, the suite of Tracking Technologies will begin to contribute to the total installation revenue. In addition to the new tracking 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.

Financial Summary

Revenue

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

The January-June 2017 revenue amounted to SEK 31.1 million (SEK 34.4 million). Revenue from series production decreased by 10% to SEK 29.4 million (SEK 32.7 million), due to decreased Sampling Cup shipments of 61,600 (82,900) and lower series production during the first quarter of 2017. Equipment revenue amounted to SEK 1.4 million (SEK 0.8 million) following the shipment of the equipment for the System 3000 Plus upgrade at Tupy Saltillo, Mexico. Engineering Service amounted to SEK 0.3 million (SEK 0.9 million) following support provided to various customers globally and the sale of test pieces.

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) 2017 2016 2017 2016
Operating Result 4.8 5.8 7.6 10.4
Result for the period after tax 5.5 6.0 8.5 10.7
Earnings per Share (SEK) 0.8 0.8 1.2 1.5

The April-June 2017 operating result of SEK 4.8 million (SEK 5.8 million) decreased as a result of the SEK 0.4 million reduction in the gross result and a net increase in operating costs of SEK 0.6 million primarily derived from decreased other operating income (unrealised revaluation gain from outstanding receivables) of SEK 0.6 million. The result for the period after tax amounted to SEK 5.5 million (SEK 6.0 million). The decrease is primarily related to the lower operating result of SEK 1.0 million, decreased unrealised revaluation loss derived from outstanding currency hedge contracts of SEK 0.6 million and decreased tax income of SEK 0.1 million.

The January-June 2017 Operating Result of SEK 7.6 million (SEK 10.4 million), decreased by SEK 2.8 million as a result of lower gross results of SEK 2.5 million primarily derived from lower revenue, combined with lower operating expense due to increased activated development costs of SEK 0.8 million and decreased other operating income (unrealised revaluation gain from outstanding receivables) of SEK 0.6 million and increased other operating costs (unrealised revaluation loss from outstanding receivables) of SEK 0.5 million. The Result for the period after tax amounted to SEK 8.5 million (SEK 10.7 million), decreased by SEK 2.2 million, primarily related to the decreased operating result of SEK 2.8 million and a SEK 0.7 million decrease in the financial net (primarily decreased unrealised revaluation losses derived from outstanding hedge contracts) and decreased tax income of SEK 0.1 million.

Deferred Tax Asset

Tax income for the April-June 2017 period amounted to SEK 1.0 million (SEK 1.0 million). The estimated future taxable profit and deferred tax asset calculation is reassessed every quarter. As of 30 June 2017, SEK 147.0 million (SEK 142.3 million) of the SinterCast total carried-forward tax losses are the basis of the updated calculation, resulting in SEK 32.3 million (SEK 31.3 million) being capitalised as a deferred tax asset.

Cashflow, Liquidity and Investments

Cashflow Summary 2017 Year-to-Date January-June Cashflow Changes
(Amounts in SEK million if not otherwise stated) 2017 2016 2017 vs. 2016
Cashflow from operations, before change in working capital 8.1 10.5 -2.4
Change in working capital -0.7 -3.1 2.4
Cashflow from operations 7.4 7.4 0.0
Cashflow from investing activities -2.1 -1.0 -1.1
Cashflow from financing activities -28.4 -24.8 -3.6
Exchange rate differences in cash and cash equivalents 0.0 0.0 0.0
Cashflow total -23.1 -18.4 -4.7
Liquidity 22.2 29.6

The January-June 2017 cashflow from operations was unchanged compared to the same period in 2016. This was primarily due to the net effect of a decrease of SEK 2.4 million in cashflow from operations before

changes in working capital, plus positive cashflow changes from working capital (SEK 2.4 million), derived from changed cashflow from inventory (SEK 1.3 million), receivables (SEK 3.3 million) and operating liabilities (SEK -2.2 million).

Total investments amounted to SEK 2.1 million, primarily related to the activation of products under development (SEK 1.8 million), patent investments (SEK 0.1 million) and facilities and computer hardware upgrades (SEK 0.2 million). The total cashflow decreased by SEK 4.7 million following the unchanged cashflow from operations, investment increases of SEK 1.1 million and the dividend increase of SEK 3.6 million. The total cashflow amounted to SEK -23.1 million (SEK -18.4 million), primarily due to the increased dividend amounting to SEK 28.4 million (SEK 24.8 million). Liquidity on 30 June 2017 was SEK 22.2 million (SEK 29.6 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 three years and most forecasters indicate a stable or positive near-term outlook. However, political uncertainty exists and this could affect infrastructure, investment, trade and, ultimately, vehicle sales. In Asia, the dominant Chinese market is characterised by overcapacity in the commercial vehicle and construction equipment sectors, which represent the primary opportunities for CGI. This overcapacity, coupled with the underlying economic uncertainty in China, influences new product commitments, product development cycles and production volumes. In North America, passenger vehicle sales have increased for seven consecutive years and SinterCast has benefitted from this market growth. However, political tension and the possible renegotiation of free trade agreements could have an impact on the passenger vehicle and commercial vehicle markets.

Fair value measurement of financial assets and liabilities

The group have Financial assets consisting of derivative instruments, included in other debtors or other creditors, and commercial papers and fixed income instruments. The fair value of derivative instruments, not traded on an active market, is based on observable market currency rates. Cash flows are discounted using market interest rates. Commercial papers and fixed income instruments are traded on an active market and the fair value is determined by available market prices. These effects are recognized over profit & loss.

Other financial assets and liabilities

The fair value of financial instruments such as accounts receivable, accounts payable, and other noninterest bearing financial assets and liabilities which are reported at the accrued acquisition value less any depreciation, is adjudged to correspond to the reported value due to their short anticipated terms.
