OPERATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS

RAISED FORECAST FOR FY2021

€900M-€950M REVENUE, 13%-15% ADJUSTED EBIT MARGIN

› As announced on April 12, 2021, forecast for FY2021 has been raised to revenues of €900m to €950m (previously: €850m to €900m) with an adjusted EBIT margin of 13% to 15% (previously: 12 % to 13%)

› Rationale:

  • › Strong business performance in H1 FY2021, as will be shown in more detail on the following pages: €479.4m revenue with 14.7% adj. EBIT margin
  • › Lower expectations for H2 FY2021 (revenue between €420.6 and €470.6m) due to unresolved semiconductor supply issues at several OEMs, continuing COVID-19 crisis and due to the risk of higher prices for certain raw materials and components
  • › Moderate recovery of Stabilus industrial business is expected in the second half of FY2021

OPERATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS

OVERVIEW

› Strict safety procedures are in place (pandemic plan); few new COVID-19 cases at Stabilus production plants in Mexico, Romania,

US and Germany; situation is under control

  • › Global light vehicle production (LVP) in Q2 FY21 at 20.3m vehicles, + 14.0% y/y; strong recovery of LVP in APAC: + 32.6% y/y
  • › Further increase of customer demand in our automotive business, particularly in APAC; in the Automotive Powerise division substantial outperformance of LVP in all operating segments (regions)
  • › Industrial business is mixed: In Q2 FY21, we experienced a noteworthy rebound in subsegments Commercial Vehicles and Distributors, Independent Aftermarket, E-commerce (DIAMEC)
  • › The semiconductor supply issues at OEMs are not yet conclusively resolved
  • › Flexible production set-up continues to be very important in the current market environment

Status quo Corporate actions

  • › Top priorities: ensuring safety of our employees and business continuity (keeping the production running)
  • › Stabilus pandemic rules (incl. social distancing, disinfection et al.) continue to be effective and operational; close monitoring of all activities continues, in order to reduce COVID-19 risks for Stabilus employees and operations; testing and vaccination programs started
  • › Cost flexibilization (EBIT recovery) program
  • › Aligning/adjusting our production capacity to customer demand by utilizing short-time work schemes, furloughs, plant shutdowns for several days, selected layoffs et al.

Comments

  • › PPA adjustments comprise depreciation and amortization of step-ups and intangible assets acquired during 2010, 2016 and 2019 acquisitions
  • › The decrease of the depreciation & amortization related to 2010 PPA and of the corresponding EBIT adjustment is due to the fact that unpatented technology is now fully amortized (useful life of 10 years)

› The decrease of the depreciation & amortization related to 2019 PPA and of the corresponding EBIT adjustment is due to the lower amount of intangible assets to be amortized which is a consequence of the impairment of customer relationships in Q3 of the previous fiscal year (negative effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on the aerospace business)
