BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT IN THE FIRST QUARTER OF 2024

Vitesco Technologies achieved solid results in a persistently challenging market environment during the first quarter of 2024. Overall revenues were €1,991.9 million (previous year: €2,314.2 million), which corresponds to a decline of 13.9% on the same period of the previous year. In particular, the expected decline in contract manufacturing as well as the lack of sales from divested businesses reduced the sales development at the start of the year. The Group's EBIT, adjusted for effects from changes in the scope of consolidation, amortization from purchase price allocations as well as special topics, amounted to €33.0 million (previous year: €30.8 million), or an adjusted EBIT margin of 1.7% (previous year: 1.4%). Vitesco Technologies' EBIT on a reported basis improved to €15.4 million (previous year: -€25.3 million). Consolidated net income during the reporting period amounted to €22.7 million (previous year: -€50.7 million), which corresponds to €0.57 earnings per share (previous year: -€1.27 per share). In particular, due to the planned settlements of advance payment by the Continental Group and the mutual decline in contract manufacturing combined with the contractually agreed adjustment of payment terms, free cash flow amounted to -€90.6 million (previous year: -€41.1 million). The number of employees as at March 31, 2024, was 35,370 (previous year: 38,215).

Obligations in connection with emission related topics under the Group separation agreement continue to be recognized at €82.0 million, even when current developments are factored in.

The Group's equity as at the reporting date of March 31, 2024, was €2,904.7 million (December 31, 2023: €2,851.3 million), which corresponds to an equity ratio of 37.8% (December 31, 2023: 37.6%). As at the end of March 2024, Vitesco Technologies had cash and cash equivalents of €1,038.8 million (December 31, 2023: €1,063.6 million). The reduction resulted in particular from the negative free cash flow in the first quarter of 2024. Net liquidity, defined as cash and cash equivalents less financial indebtedness, was at €228.3 million (December 31, 2023: €337.0 million).

As part of the planned merger, Vitesco Technologies USA, LLC has signed a loan agreement with Schaeffler Group USA, Inc. for a total amount of USD 220 million. USD 87 million of that had been drawn in March 2024.

Vitesco Technologies was able to acquire new orders of €708 million in the first quarter of 2024, of which €282 million or about 40% was attributable to electrification business.

EXPECTATIONS FOR THE FIRST QUARTER OF 2024

Vitesco Technologies is expecting the market environment to remain challenging in the second quarter of 2024. Even though a slight improvement should be expected for e-mobility, geopolitical uncertainties continue to result in shifted demand as well as supply chain interruptions. A slight recovery of global vehicle production should be expected in the second quarter of 2024 when compared with the previous year's quarter.

MARKET OUTLOOK AND FORECAST FOR THE FISCAL YEAR 2024

Given the business performance in the first quarter of 2024 and expectations for the second quarter of 2024, the market outlook and forecast for Vitesco Technologies' business development for the full 2024 fiscal year remain unchanged from the details provided in the annual report. As with the assumptions for global vehicle production, all expectations remain highly uncertain.

DEVELOPMENT IN INDIVIDUAL DIVISIONS

The electrification of the mobility market is an automotive megatrend and is being driven by ongoing climate change. The sales of electrified vehicles have seen enormous growth globally. Vitesco Technologies recognized this trend in its early stages and has consistently adapted to this transition.

In the first quarter of 2024, the Powertrain Solutions division generated sales of €1,273.0 million (previous year: €1,607.7 million). The adjusted EBIT amounted to €113.8 million (previous year: €109.2 million) and thus corresponds to an improved adjusted EBIT margin of 8.9% (previous year: 7.3%). The planned decline in sales from contract manufacturing for Continental as well as discontinued activities contributed to the overall declining sales within the division.

The Electrification Solutions division achieved revenue of €732.2 million during the first quarter of 2024 (previous year: €716.8 million). Given that the delivery of battery-electric vehicles in the European market stagnated in comparison to the previous year and a postponement for some project ramp-ups in all regions in the first quarter of 2024, electrification sales were below the previous year's level. The target of reaching the break-even point for electrification during the current fiscal year remains intact thanks to the sustained trend for battery-electric vehicles globally.

Due to the high start-up costs for electrification products, the adjusted EBIT remained at the previous year's level at -€71.7 million (previous year: -€71.6 million). The adjusted EBIT margin was -9.8% (previous year: -10.0%), also at the previous year's level.
