Ad hoc announcement pursuant to Art. 53 LR
Niederwangen, August 19, 2022, 7.00 a.m. – Under very difficult market conditions, the Adval Tech Group achieved a total income1) of CHF 90.9 million in the first half of 2022 (first half of 2021: CHF 90.4 million, +0.5%), operating earnings before interest, tax and depreciation (EBITDA1)) of CHF 5.3 million (first half of 2021: CHF 9.7 million, -45.4%), operating earnings before interest and tax (EBIT1)) of CHF 1.5 million (first half of 2021: CHF 5.8 million, -74.6%) and net result of CHF 0.0 million (first half of 2021: CHF 4.3 million). The EBITDA margin was 5.8% (first half of 2021: 10.7%) and the EBIT margin amounted to 1.6% (first half of 2021: 6.4%).
The Adval Tech Group was not spared the massive disruptions in global supply and logistics chains in the first half of 2022. The outbreak of war in Ukraine at the end of February further aggravated the already difficult situation. The shortage of raw materials and individual electronics components, as well as the resulting lack of availability, had a massive impact on production volumes and the flow of goods in the automotive industry, particularly in Europe. Securing raw materials also involved major efforts on the part of Adval Tech. Unpredictable production interruptions on the customer side required extreme flexibility and agility. Although its good order situation, Adval Tech had to selectively introduce short-time working. Marked increases in material, energy and transport costs also put pressure on margins.
Even under these circumstances, in the first half of 2022 Adval Tech was able to maintain the high level of total income1) of the same period 2021 and generate positive EBIT1) as well as break-even net result. In terms of cash flow from operating activities, Adval Tech even improved from CHF -0.1 million to CHF +0.9 million.
Total income1) In the first half of 2022, the Adval Tech Group generated total income1) of CHF 90.9 million (first half of 2021: CHF 90.4 million). At 75%, Adval Tech generated most of its turnover in the first half of 2022 with customers in Europe (first half of 2021: 75%). Asian customers accounted for 10% of Adval Tech’s turnover (first half of 2021: 10%), Latin American customers for 9% (first half of 2021: 8%), North American customers for 6% (first half of 2021: 6%) and customers from Australia/Oceania for 0% (first half of 2021: 1%).
Profitability The Adval Tech Group generated operating earnings before interest, tax and depreciation (EBITDA1)) of CHF 5.3 million (first half of 2021: CHF 9.7 million, -45.4%), corresponding to an EBITDA margin of 5.8% (first half of 2021: 10.7%). Operating earnings before interest and tax (EBIT1)) was CHF 1.5 million (first half of 2021: CHF 5.8 million, -74.6%), EBIT margin 1.6% (first half of 2021: 6.4%). Net result for the Adval Tech Group amounted to CHF 0.0 million in the first half of 2022 (first half of 2021: CHF 4.3 million). Adjusted for currency effects, EBITDA1) for the first half of 2022 amounted to CHF 5.3 million and EBIT1) to CHF 1.4 million.
Outlook It remains extremely difficult to make economic forecasts. Neither the further course of the Coronavirus pandemic nor the development of supply bottlenecks for raw materials and electronic components are foreseeable for the coming months. Added to this is the geopolitical situation with its uncertainties regarding energy supplies, production reliability and cost development. Adval Tech is therefore refraining from issuing a specific outlook for the second half of the year.
The Adval Tech Group remains cautious with regard to costs and capital expenditure. It continues to focus on implementing the acquired projects right first time.

BERLIN (Reuters) -A charge to fund gas imports into Germany to boost national stocks has been set at 0.59 euro per megawatt hour (MWh), gas market operator Trading Hub Europe said on Thursday, feeding into a sharp rise in consumer energy costs. The gas storage levy, set to kick in from Oct. 1, comes on top of another levy on end-consumers designed to distribute the cost of replacing Russian gas to utilities like Uniper. However, to cushion the blow to consumers, Chancellor Olaf Scholz said sales tax on gas would be reduced to 7% from 19%.

Germany's Chancellor Olaf Scholz will sign a deal to establish hydrogen supply chains with Canada during his two-day visit to the country next week, officials said, as Berlin accelerates its green transition to reduce dependence on Russian gas supplies. With fears that Russia could completely shut down already heavily reduced gas flows in retaliation for Western sanctions following its invasion of Ukraine, Scholz will also discuss the prospects for Canadian liquefied natural gas (LNG) deliveries to Germany, the German officials said on Thursday. However, they cautioned this would not offer a solution for this winter when Germany is facing a possible gas shortage, nor next, as the infrastructure is not yet in place.
