Financial Targets and Long-term Growth Outlook

CEO Message

Series production up 13% at the half; reduction expected in second half

Series production in the second quarter finished at 4.0 million Engine Equivalents, providing an 8% year-on-year increase and extending the string of year-on-year quarterly increases to thirteen consecutive quarters. Following the highest first quarter on record, annualised series production for the first half of the year finished at 3.95 million Engine Equivalents, up 13%.

Sales of the consumable Sampling Cup were also strong during the second quarter, with 56,700 (49,700) units shipped. Together, the increases in series production and consumable shipments contributed toward total revenue of SEK 35.1 million for the quarter, providing an 11% year-on-year increase. Overall, Sampling Cup shipments for the first half of the year amounted to 101,300 units, marking a 23% year-on-year increase. Year-to-date revenue finished at SEK 67.3 million, up 23%. In second quarter, and for the first half of the year, 96% of the total revenue was derived from recurring revenue related to the Production Fee levied for each Engine Equivalent, plus consumable sales and software licence fees.

During the quarter, more than 95% of the series production was accounted for by large vehicles, including commercial vehicles, pick-up trucks and off-road equipment. With our focus on large vehicles, we estimate that the improved fuel efficiency of the vehicles that use our technology saved approximately 2.6 million tonnes of CO2 during the second quarter. This increases our cumulative contribution to more than 64 million tonnes, keeping us on pace to meet our goal of 100 million tonnes of CO2 reduction by 2028.

One year ago, in the 2Q23 interim report, we announced that one of our high volume programmes was expected to reach its end-of-life stage during mid-2024. It is now understood that the foundry production is planned to stop at the end of August. The planned stoppage will result in the reduction of approximately 500,000 Engine Equivalents per year, with September 2024 expected to be the first full month impacted by the stoppage. It is expected that the third and fourth quarters of 2024 will report year-on-year declines, and that the full-year 2024 volume may finish similar to the 2023 full-year volume of 3.7 million Engine Equivalents. Despite this temporary decrease in volume, it is expected that the five million Engine Equivalent milestone will be reached during 2026. SinterCast maintains the target to post double-digit compounded annual series production growth through 2030 and to reach the seven million Engine Equivalent milestone within the current five-year planning horizon.

… it is currently expected that the five million Engine Equivalent milestone will be reached during 2026. SinterCast maintains the target to post double-digit compounded annual series production growth through 2030 and to reach the seven million Engine Equivalent milestone within the current five-year planning horizon.

The development pipeline increased during the quarter. We are currently supporting ongoing SinterCast-CGI development programmes planned for launch through the 2028-2030 window. We also continue to actively support the development of small passenger vehicle engines for hybrid and range extender applications, and for large commercial vehicle engines running on net-zero fuels and hydrogen. These activities provide the opportunity for continued long-term growth, with an addressable market of approximately 15 million Engine Equivalents.

Positive outlook for installation revenue

The installation outlook for 2024 has improved throughout the first half of the year. With revenue of SEK 1.3 million in the second quarter, year-to-date revenue reached SEK 2.4 million (SEK 1.0 million). Experience shows that installation revenue is usually biased to the second half of the year, with the first half focussed on discussions and planning followed by pressures for commissioning before year end. This trend is clearly being repeated in 2024 and we look forward to a busy finish to the year. Since 30 June, upgrades and extensions in the amount of SEK 2.2 million have already been received for the third and fourth quarters, and additional opportunities are at advanced stages of discussion. Based on the current activity, we expect average installation revenue in 2024 and 2025 to exceed the historical average of SEK 8 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 revaluation of tax assets.

Results Summary April−June January−June
(Amounts in SEK million if not otherwise stated) 2024 2023 2024 2023
Gross margin, % 74.9 75.2 72.6 72.7
Operating result 13.1 6.3 20.5 12.7
Operating margin, % 37.4 19.7 30.5 21.9
Result for the period after tax 10.5 6.2 16.6 12.5
Earnings per share (SEK) 1.48 0.87 2.35 1.76

The April−June 2024 operating result increased by SEK 6.9 million to SEK 13.1 million (SEK 6.3 million), due to the combined effect of a SEK 2.5 million increase in gross margin, SEK 2.3 million decrease in operating costs and improvement of other operating cost and income of SEK 2.1 million. The decrease in operating costs is primarily related to the reduction in headcount following the retirement of two employees in the second quarter of 2023. Other operating costs and income combined improved by SEK 2.1 million, primarily due to movements in foreign currencies resulting in unrealised revaluation gains of existing hedge contracts. The result for the period after tax increased by SEK 4.3 million to SEK 10.5 million (SEK 6.2 million), primarily due to the SEK 6.9 million improvement in operating result and the accounted increase in income tax of SEK 2.7 million.

The January−June 2024 operating result increased by SEK 7.8 million to SEK 20.5 million (SEK 12.7 million), due to the combined effect of a SEK 6.6 million increase in gross result and a SEK 2.5 million decrease in operating costs and increased net cost of other operating cost and income of SEK 1.3 million. The decrease in operating costs is primarily related to the reduction in headcount following the retirement of two employees in the second quarter of 2023 and proactive redundancies effected in the second half of 2023. The result for the period after tax increased by SEK 4.2 million to SEK 16.6 million (SEK 12.5 million), primarily due to the SEK 7.8 million increase in operating result and the accounted increase in income tax of SEK 3.8 million.

Income Tax and Deferred Tax Asset

Tax for the January−June 2024 period amounted to SEK 3.8 million (SEK 0.1 million). The Group's total carried forward tax losses, remaining to be utilised are calculated to be SEK 228.2 million (248.0 MSEK), resulting in a deferred tax asset of SEK 47.0 million (SEK 51.1 million). It is estimated that SinterCast will begin to pay Swedish income tax during approximately late-2027 or early-2028, depending on results and currency rates.

Cashflow, Liquidity and Investments

The January−June 2024 cashflow from operations improved by SEK 9.1 million, compared to the same period last year, due to increased cashflow before working capital of SEK 8.4 million, following the improved operating result and a SEK 0.8 million improvement in working capital. The improved working capital since year-end is primarily due to a SEK 10.4 million improvement in cashflow from accounts receivable. Total investments amounted to SEK 1.2 million (SEK 3.4 million). Investments primarily related to production tooling for increased productivity in the Sampling Cup production. Following the dividend payment of SEK 21.5 million, total cashflow amounted to SEK 7.0 million (SEK -0.7 million). Liquidity on 30 June 2024 was SEK 19.2 million (SEK 13.5 million), plus an overdraft credit facility in the amount of SEK 12.5 million, providing effective liquidity of SEK 31.7 million. SinterCast currently has no loans.

Cashflow Summary January−June
(Amounts in SEK million if not otherwise stated) 2024 2023 2024 vs 2023
Cashflow from operations, before change in working capital 22.9 14.5 8.4
Change in working capital 8.9 8.2 0.8

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 longevity of each engine programme; the possibility that the volume of existing programmes may decrease or come to end-of-life earlier than expected; the global economy for new vehicle sales; technology trends and emissions legislation; and, the individual sales success of vehicles equipped with SinterCast-CGI components.

The increasing geopolitical instability, exacerbated by war and conflict in multiple regions, together with material shortages, energy costs and global economic uncertainties, constitute 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 near-term 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. The development of AI may also increase the possibilities to develop potentially competitive technologies or to reverse engineer the SinterCast technology.

No significant risk of material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities has been identified at the balance sheet date. For additional risk and uncertainty factor information, see the SinterCast Annual Report.

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, Korea, Germany and Portugal. As of 30 June 2024, the Group had 27 (31) employees, 6 (7) of whom are female. The reduction in headcount was the result of two retirements during the first half of 2023 plus proactive redundancies effected during the second half of 2023. Benefitting from accumulated experience and efficiency improvements, 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 2024, the Parent Company had 22 (26) employees. The average number of employees during the period was 23 (26). 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.

Outlook Guidance:

Since August 2023, SinterCast has stated that a high volume programme will reach its end-of-life stage during mid-2024. It is now understood that the foundry production is planned to stop at the end of August. The planned stoppage will result in the reduction of approximately 500,000 Engine Equivalents per year, with September 2024 expected to be the first full month impacted by the stoppage. It is expected that the third and fourth quarters of 2024 will report year-on-year declines, and that the full-year 2024 volume may finish similar to the 2023 full-year volume of 3.7 million Engine Equivalents. Despite this temporary decrease in volume, it is expected that the five million Engine

Equivalent milestone will be reached during 2026. SinterCast maintains the target to post double-digit compounded annual series production growth through 2030 and to reach the seven million Engine Equivalent milestone within the current five-year planning horizon. The addressable market remains at approximately 15 million Engine Equivalents.

Following the strong recent results, it is estimated that SinterCast will begin to pay Swedish income tax during approximately late-2027 or early-2028, depending on results and currency rates.

Previously Published (24 April 2024)

The growth during the remaining three quarters will depend on three key levers: the previously announced mid-year stoppage of one of our high volume programmes; the continued ramp of the Traton Group 13 litre commercial vehicle engine; and, the start of production of a new family of 11, 13 and 16 litre commercial vehicle engines at First Automobile Works (FAW) in China. With the mid-year stoppage approaching, it is unlikely that the five million Engine Equivalent milestone will be reached before the stoppage occurs. However, the temporary decrease in volume does not change our goal to post double-digit growth in 2024 and we maintain our target to deliver doubledigit CAGR through 2030, with growth beyond.

When the Traton order was received in 2019, the mature volume was said to be more than one million incremental Engine Equivalents per year. The Traton production started in 2022 with deliveries to Scania and was extended to Navistar in 2023. With the total volume not yet half-way through the ramp, the pending start of production for MAN during 2024 provides continued growth opportunities in 2024 and 2025. The FAW programmes also provide the opportunity for growth, with initial contributions expected during 2024, followed by stronger growth in 2025 and beyond. While the FAW production will provide significant contributions, the heavy duty commercial vehicle market in China is still evolving and it is not yet possible to determine the product mix between natural gas and diesel engines. With the current development, only the diesel version of the engines is planned to use CGI cylinder blocks.

Beyond Traton and FAW, the development pipe for conventional internal combustion engine applications remains strong, with ongoing SinterCast-CGI development programmes planned for launch through the 2028-2030 window. We also continue to actively support the development of small passenger vehicle engines for hybrid and range extender applications, and for large commercial vehicle engines running on net-zero fuels and hydrogen. These activities provide the opportunity for continued long-term growth, with an addressable market of approximately 15 million Engine Equivalents.

Following the strong recent results, it is estimated that SinterCast will begin to pay Swedish income tax during approximately late-2027 or early-2028, depending on results and currency rates.
