ROCE.
Remains key management principle for managing the business
In 2014, we, the new Board of Management, introduced ROCE as new key management principle, replacing ROS
As a result we implemented the ROCE target in all senior management layers, aligning their incentive systemwith ours
We started reporting ROCE on Group and BU levels on a quarterly basis, so that our progress can be tracked
Setback in FY2019 mainly due to weakness in

Optimized use of materials due to application-specific design
Environment & Energy
Up to 50 % weight saving
compared to conventional steel and aluminum construction methods
Optimized thermal management
Low energy consumption for heating/cooling the battery due to good thermal insulation
Higher specific battery capacities
Less installation space due to higher specific stiffness
Positive secondary effects
Down-sizing potential with other components (e.g. brakes, springs etc.)
Safety
Excellent fire protection
due to high heat resistance and low thermal conductivity as well as flame retardant material modification
Very good protection against underbody penetration (Impact)
through adjustable material parameters
Economic Efficiency
Attractive lightweight construction costs
up to cost-neutral substitution for aluminum
Stable long-term quality
No additional measures necessary for corrosion protection
Consumer Advantages
Lower energy consumption and higher range
due to low weight and high battery capacities
Dynamic driving experience
due to low weight and high rigidity
Safety: impact, crash
due to improved impact behavior and excellent mechanical properties

Outlook for fiscal year 2020
©CopyrightSGL Carbon SE
- Registered trademarks ofSGL Carbon SE
Guidance for the current fiscal year suspended. The previous targets
for 2020 are unlikely to be achieved due to the COVID-19 pandemic
- SGL Carbonlifted its guidance on FY 2020on April 1, 2020 due to uncertainty regarding impact of the COVID-19pandemic. Due to uncertainty regarding the duration and the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic, SGL is currently unable to provide a reliable sales revenue and earnings forecast for the current year
- Previous guidance:
- Slightly lower sales revenue (sales revenue 2019: €1,087m)
- Recurring EBIT1approximately 10-15% below the prior year (recurring EBIT 2019: €48m)
- Was already made conditional in the management report published on March 12, 2020, that negative effects from the coronavirus were not included, as the outbreak at that time was mainly restricted to China and Italy. In the meantime, numerous other governments have introduced far reaching measures and leading economists now forecast significant reductions in economic output in key economies
- January and February 2020were in linewith our previous expectations. Negative deviationswill be visible in March 2020, mainly in CFM, affected by temporary production stops resp. reductions by the German automotive OEMs
- SGL has introduced and partially already implementedmeasures to reduce the cost base and to secure liquidity:
- Introduction ofshort-time work
- Reduction of material and indirect spend
- Further reduction/postponement of capital expenditures
- Increase of facturing
- We are exploringfurther financing options independent of the capital markets e.g. sales onnon-corereal estate
- As of March 31, 2020, liquidity was slightly higher than at year end 2019 (December 31, 2019: €137m)

Group EBIT 2019 "cash quality" better than 2018.
2018 substantially benefited from IFRS15 effects
- 2018 significantly benefited fromfirst-time adoption of IFRS 15
- Adjusted for this effect, and despite disappointing CFM development, 2019 Group EBIT even improved compared to 2018 (minus €2.8m IFRS 15 effect in 2019)
- IFRS 15 on EBIT has no cash impact as sales and earnings are only booked earlier - therefore "cash- quality" of 2019 EBIT is better than in 2018
