Statement by Jens Bjerg Sørensen,

President and CEO:

The positive effects of the diversified nature of the business activities and the spreading of risk in the Schouw

HIGHLIGHTS

• Strong Q3 performance with revenue and EBITDA improving
• Strengthened positive cash flows from operations and debt sharply reduced

The Schouw & Co. Group had a good third quarter of 2020, even though the Group's portfolio companies are still affected by the coronavirus situation in different ways. The nature of the Group's industry structure ensures diversified risk, and the portfolio businesses have adjusted their operations in ways to successfully capitalise on business opportunities that have arisen.

Consolidated revenue improved by 3% to DKK 6,060 million in Q3 2020 from DKK 5,872 million

in Q3 2019. The increase was driven by increased revenue in BioMar, GPV and Fibertex Nonwovens. Fibertex Personal Care reported improved volume sales, but also a drop in revenue due to lower prices of raw materials and, as a result, lower selling prices, while HydraSpecma and Borg Automotive both reported slightly lower revenue than in Q3 2019.

EBITDA was up by 9% from DKK 621 million in Q3 2019 to DKK 676 million in Q3 2020. The improvement was attributable in particular to Fibertex Nonwovens and GPV, but all portfolio businesses contributed with the exception of BioMar. The Group's businesses have to a moderate extent received wage compensation for their employees, primarily in countries other than Denmark.

The aggregate share of profit/loss after tax in associates and joint ventures was a loss of DKK 44 million in Q3 2020, compared with an aggregate profit of DKK 11 million in Q3 2019. In both periods, the share of profit or loss was from BioMar's associates and joint ventures, and this year's decline was predominantly attributable to a drop in Salmones Austral's earnings due to significantly lower settlement prices for farmed salmon.

Consolidated net financial items were an expense of DKK 30 million in Q3 2020, compared with a DKK 20 million expense in Q3 2019. The larger expense was mainly the result of several negative

foreign exchange adjustments, etc. in Q3 2020 than last year, whereas actual net interest expenses fell to DKK 16 million compared with DKK 26 million in Q3 2019.

ROIC excluding goodwill improved from 13.4% at 30 June 2020 to 14.2% at 30 September 2020, driven mainly by the profit improvement and the reduced working capital.

Liquidity and capital resources

The Group's operations generated a cash inflow of DKK 1,079 million in Q3 2020, compared with DKK 724 million in Q3 2019. The improvement was driven especially by BioMar, but the two Fibertex businesses and Borg Automotive also contributed. Only GPV and HydraSpecma reported a drop in cash flows from operations. DKK 125 million of the improvement was due to extended deadlines for paying in VAT and employee income taxes, etc. caused by the coronavirus situation. Cash flows for investing activities in Q3 2020 amounted to DKK 159 million, against DKK 170 million in Q3 2019.

The consolidated net interest-bearing debt was reduced from DKK 3,046 million at 30 June 2020 to DKK 2,190 million at 30 September 2020. Accordingly, the key credit ratio NIBD/EBITDA improved from 1.5 at 30 June 2020 to 1.0 at 30 September 2020.

Working capital fell from DKK 3,681 million at 30 June 2020 to DKK 3,172 million at 30 September 2020. The reduction in working capital was mainly attributable to BioMar, but all the other businesses either reduced or kept their working capital unchanged.

Group developments

Since the first quarter of 2020, the companies of the Schouw & Co. Group have worked to align their businesses to a situation in which coronavirus is a part of day-to-day operations. This is a comprehensive task, given the fact that the Group operates production facilities in 29 countries and sells its products in more than 100 countries but, at the same time, the diverse nature of the portfolio companies has shown the strength of the conglom- erate.

The Group's businesses have truly managed to incorporate the necessary precautions to tackle the coronavirus situation in their day-to-day operations, and the Group managed to maintain near-normal operations and its usual service levels throughout the quarter. The primary objective of the strategy for addressing the coronavirus situation has been, first of all, to organise good and safe working conditions for the employees and, next, to keep operations as near-normal as possible. Generally, these efforts have produced better-than-expected results, and several of the businesses have seen new and attractive business opportunities.

Interim report - Third quarter 2020

The consolidated cash flows from operations have been strong, both in the third quarter and for the year to date. Combined with a moderate investment rate, this has enabled the Group to sharply reduce

GPV reported strong revenue and EBITDA improvements driven by growing demand from certain segments, including MedTech.

Schouw & Co. shares

Schouw & Co. shares appreciated by 17% during the third quarter to DKK 616.00 at 30 September 2020 from DKK 528.00 at 30 June 2020.

its debt. However, growing and developing the businesses remains an important objective, and the Group's portfolio companies are currently working on a number of significant capacity-increasing investments. Also, Borg Automotive signed an agreement in the third quarter of 2020 to acquire the turbocharger operations from Spanish remanufacturing company Turbo Motor Inyección (TMI).

The following is a brief review of other business developments in the portfolio companies during the quarter.

BioMar reported a good third quarter with improved revenue driven mainly by higher volume sales in the Salmon division. Reported EBITDA fell relative to the year-earlier period, mainly due to unfavourable exchange rate developments.

Fibertex Personal Care reported an improvement in volume sales and a strong profit. However, revenue was down due to a drop in selling prices driven by lower prices of raw materials.

Fibertex Nonwovens reported strong improvements in revenue and EBITDA as volume sales to the automotive industry stabilised and thanks to healthy demand from other segments.

HydraSpecma reported strong sales of solutions for wind turbines and other stationary equipment as well as growing demand for products for the vehicles segment. Revenue was slightly lower than last year, but EBITDA improved relative to Q3 2019.

Borg Automotive reported stabilising business activity in important markets during the quarter. Revenue was slightly lower than last year, but EBITDA improved relative to Q3 2019.

Accounting policies

The interim report is presented in accordance with IAS 34 "Interim financial reporting" as adopted by the EU and Danish disclosure requirements for the consolidated and parent company financial statements of listed companies.

Schouw & Co. has implemented the standards and interpretations which are effective from 2020. Wage compensation received has been offset against relevant wage costs.

See the 2019 Annual Report for a full description of the accounting policies.

Judgments and estimates

The preparation of interim financial statements requires management to make accounting judgments and estimates that affect recognised assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these judgments and estimates.

Special risks

The overall risk factors the Schouw & Co. Group faces are discussed in the 2019 Annual Report. The current assessment of special risks is largely unchanged from the assessment applied in the preparation of the 2019 Annual Report. It is important to note, however, that risks relating to the coronavirus situation, which at the time the annual report was being prepared, was limited to China and a few other countries, has now escalated into a global pandemic.

Roundings and presentation

The amounts appearing in this interim report have generally been rounded to the nearest million using standard rounding principles. Accordingly, some additions may not add up.

Events after the balance sheet date

Other than as set out elsewhere in this interim report, Schouw & Co. is not aware of events occurring after 30 September 2020 which are expected to have a material impact on the Group's financial position or outlook.

Outlook

Revenue and EBITDA guidance raised on expectations of stable market conditions for the rest of the year. Ownership interest in Salmones Austral expected to produce a loss.

Outlook for 2020

Coronavirus has been an extremely dominant factor in 2020, but as the year progressed the diversified nature of our conglomerate structure has proven its worth, helping to mitigate the consequences of the unusual situation. This new reality has made many companies consider their future organisational structure. We believe that many of the Group's customers prefer to strengthen their supply chains by seeking a better geographical spread and long-term partnerships with responsible suppliers. For the companies of the Schouw & Co. Group, that will offer a potential for long-term business relations.

After the second quarter, Schouw & Co. expected consolidated revenue for 2020 of about DKK 20.6 billion with EBITDA in the 1,940-2,110 million range. Following the good third quarter performance and the immediate prospects of stable market conditions, the Group is now raising its revenue guidance to approximately DKK 21 billion and its FY EBITDA guidance to DKK 2,070-2,220 million.

Associates and joint ventures are now expected to make a negative contribution of DKK 30-40 million in 2020 instead of the previous estimate of a DKK 10 million share of profit. The reduced estimate is mainly attributable to Salmones Austral. In addition, net financial expenses are expected to increase by about DKK 5 million relative to the previous forecast.

Naturally, the full-year guidance is subject to how

the coronavirus situation unfolds going forward. The following is a brief review of the full-year outlook for each individual company in 2020:

BioMar maintains its guidance of revenue of about DKK 11.5 billion. The EBITDA guidance range is changed to DKK 960-1,000 million, narrowed towards the upper end of the previous range.

Fibertex Personal Care maintains its guidance for revenue of about DKK 2.1 billion. The EBITDA guidance range is maintained at DKK 390-420million.

Fibertex Nonwovens now projects revenue of DKK 1.7 billion, which is at the top end of the previous guidance range. At the same time, the company raises its EBITDA forecast to the DKK 245-265 million range from previously DKK 205- 225 million.

GPV is now guiding for revenue in the DKK 2.8-2.9 billion range from previously about DKK 2.7 billion and raises its EBITDA guidance range to DKK 230- 250 million from previously DKK 200-230 million.

HydraSpecma now forecasts revenue of just over DKK 1.9 billion, up from previously DKK 1.8 billion. The EBITDA guidance range is also raised, to DKK 185-205 million from previously DKK 160- 180 million.

Borg Automotive now expects revenue in the DKK 850-900 million range, which is slightly

higher than previously expected. The full-year EBITDA guidance range is raised to DKK 90-110 million from the previous forecast of DKK 75-85 million.

BioMar

Strong third quarter sees improved revenue, but also a lower EBITDA mainly due to unfavourable exchange rate developments. FY EBIT guidance narrowed to the upper end of previous guidance range.

BioMar is one of the world's largest manufacturers of quality feed for the fish and shrimp farming industries. The company's operations are divided into four divisions:

• The Salmon division covering operations in Nor- way, Scotland, Chile and Australia. The division supplies high-yielding feed for Atlantic salmon, Pacific salmon and trout.
• The EMEA division covering the EMEA region and involving all operations other than salmon. The division has production facilities in Denmark, France, Spain, Greece and Turkey.
• The LatAm division covering Latin American operations involving shrimp and fish other than salmon. The division has production facilities in Ecuador and Costa Rica.
• The Asia division covering operations involving fish and shrimp in Asia. The division currently consists of two factories in China.

Financial performance

BioMar reported a strong performance for Q3 2020 despite the effects of the coronavirus situ- ation. An 8% increase in volumes sold led to a

4% revenue increase to DKK 3,528 million from DKK 3,404 million in Q3 2019. Developments in foreign exchange rates had an overall negative impact of DKK 190 million on revenue in the third quarter, corresponding to a 9% increase in revenue when adjusting for foreign exchange rates.

The increase in volumes sold was driven by a significant improvement in the Salmon division. The innovative product offering, close working relationships with customers on developing advanced feed solutions and the start-up of production in Australia were some of the most important factors driving the improvement.

The LatAm division reported a year-on-year drop in third quarter revenue, as the coronavirus situation disrupted shrimp exports from Ecuador to China during the quarter. This reduced demand and changed the product mix from high-yielding to more ordinary feed products. Exports to China have been restored, but at a lower level and one subject to greater uncertainty than was the case in the pre-corona world.

The EMEA division also reported a year-on-year drop in revenue in the third quarter. The setback was mainly attributable to the coronavirus situ- ation, which led to a sharp drop in demand from the HORECA segment during the quarter, and to windstorm damage in Spain, which has reduced the country's fish-farming capacity.

EBITDA fell from DKK 345 million in Q3 2019 to DKK 326 million in Q3 2020, mostly due to unfavourable exchange rate developments.

The 50%-owned feed businesses in Turkey and China, which are not consolidated, reported combined Q3 2020 revenue (100% basis) of DKK 189 million and EBITDA of DKK 10 million, compared to revenue of DKK 196 million and EBITDA of DKK 13 million in Q3 2019. The revenue decline was driven by Turkey, as the country experienced sales challenges similar to those seen in the rest of the EMEA division, whereas sales to China improved. Both companies contributed to the deteriorated performance; Turkey due to lower volume sales, and China due to its higher cost base following the start-up of the new factory in Wuxi in the second quarter of 2020.

The non-consolidated businesses also include the Chilean fish farming company Salmones Austral and three minor businesses, Letsea, ATC Patagonia and LCL Shipping. The non-consolidated companies are recognised in the Q3 2020 consolidated financial statements at a DKK 44 million share of loss after tax, compared with an DKK 11 million share of profit in Q3 2019. The decline was largely attributable to lower earnings in Salmones Austral due to significantly lower settlement prices for farmed salmon.

Working capital fell by DKK 260 million from DKK 1,226 million at 30 September 2019 to DKK 966 million at 30 September 2020. Several factors contributed to the reduction in working capital, including reduced trade receivables and inventories at a total of DKK 290 million, and an increase in other debt of DKK 46 million that was mainly due to extended deadlines for the payment of VAT and employee income taxes, etc. due to the corona- virus situation. On the other hand, funding from trade payables fell by DKK 76 million. The use of supply chain financing fell from DKK 1,071 million at 30 September 2019 to DKK 882 million at 30 September 2020. Changes in exchange rates had the overall effect of reducing working capital by DKK 143 million.

ROIC excluding goodwill fell marginally from 18.9% at 30 June 2020 to 18.8% at 30 September 2020.

Business review

Despite the unusual conditions caused by the coronavirus situation, BioMar has managed to maintain operations at near-normal levels in 2020. The negative impact on BioMar's overall volume sales has been relatively modest to date, but certain markets have faced more challenges than others, particularly Ecuador and the Mediterranean markets.

BioMar

However, the current challenges in Ecuador have not deterred the expectations of longer-term market growth that were the background for the capacity expansion BioMar launched in Ecuador in 2019. The expansion includes a production line for extruded feed, which will increase annual capacity by a further 40,000 tonnes. The new production line represents an investment of approximately DKK 50 million and is commissioned in the fourth quarter of 2020.

Early in the second quarter, BioMar concluded a declaration of intent with a leading player in Viet- nam's shrimp farming industry, Viet-UC, intended to pave the way for BioMar becoming a co-owner and taking operational charge of a relatively new feed factory owned by Viet-UC. The new partnership is expected to produce substantial synergies and to strengthen BioMar's global position in the shrimp feed business. The process to define the partnership is moving forward, but at a slower pace than originally anticipated due to the continuing travel restrictions.

Outlook

From a general perspective, demand for farmed fish and shrimp is progressing well in most mar- kets. However, the current coronavirus situation has disrupted the usual sales channels for farmed fish and shrimp, leading to import/export restrictions and resulting in highly volatile supply, demand and pricing.

To date, the coronavirus situation has not had any significant impact on BioMar's overall volume sales, but some geographical shifts have occurred and sales of more advanced feed products have declined in certain markets and have been replaced by more ordinary products.

Developments on the consumer side will be a key driver of market developments. Fish and shrimp are very much out-of-home consumption products with a large proportion of sales usually going to restaurants and catering as well as to airlines and cruise ships. The entire HORECA segment has been severely battered by the coronavirus situation, and the loss of volume sales here has only been partly offset through the retail segment. The change in consumption patterns has, along with international uncertainty and national restrictions, led to lower settlement prices for fish and shrimp, which in turn could result in increasingly difficult financial conditions for BioMar's customers. As a result, BioMar has stepped up its usually very strong attention to trade receivables, but the company will also endeavour to support its customers as much as is possible and justifiable.

It is quite obvious that market developments are subject to above-normal uncertainty, both in terms of how the world's core markets are evolving and how new coronavirus outbreaks may lead to restrictions that could impact BioMar's sales and risk profile. Nevertheless, BioMar continues to

expect an increase in volume sales in 2020 relative to 2019, but the improvement will likely be smaller than originally anticipated and very much driven by the strategic investments implemented in recent years.

Against that background, BioMar maintains its guidance for FY 2020 revenue of about DKK 11.5 billion, whereas EBITDA is now expected in the DKK 960-1,000 million range instead of the previous range of DKK 940-1,000 million.

Associates and joint ventures, which are recognised at a share of profit after tax, are now expected to make a negative contribution of DKK 30-40 million in 2020 instead of the previous estimate of a DKK 10 million share of profit. The reduced estimate is largely attributable to Salmones Austral.

Fibertex Personal Care is one of the world's largest manufacturers of spunbond/spunmelt nonwovens for the personal care industry. The company has nonwovens production facilities in Denmark and Malaysia.

Operations include printing on nonwoven textiles for the personal care industry. The company is the market leader in this field. Printing operations are based in Germany, Malaysia and the USA. Both businesses are focused mainly on materials for diapers, sanitary towels and incontinence products.

Financial performance

Fibertex Personal Care reported Q3 2020 revenue of DKK 509 million, down by 6% from DKK 541 million in Q3 2019. The drop in revenue was caused mainly by changes in exchange rates and a drop in prices of raw materials compared with the third quarter of 2019 and the resulting lower selling prices on volume sales up year on year.

The Q3 2020 EBITDA was DKK 97 million, compared with DKK 93 million in Q3 2019. The earnings improvement was driven especially by the higher volume sales, but EBITDA was also affected by

opposing factors, such as the negative impact of developments in prices of raw materials and the positive effect from exchange rate developments.

Fibertex Personal Care reduced its working capital from DKK 351 million at 30 September 2019 to DKK 248 million 30 September 2020. The main reason for the lower working capital was a drop in receivables and extended deadlines for paying in VAT and employee income taxes, etc. due to the coronavirus situation.

The EBIT improvement and the lower working capital lifted the return on invested capital, ROIC, excluding goodwill to 17.9% at 30 September 2020 from 17.1% at 30 June 2020.

Business review

In September 2020, Fibertex Personal Care announced plans to set up another production line in Sendayan, Malaysia. Expected to be operational in the second half of 2021, the new production line will enable Fibertex Personal Care to share in the continuing growth being projected for the Asian market.

At the same time, Fibertex Personal Care announced plans to add a new printing line to operations in the USA, which is also expected to be operational in the second half of 2021, to accommodate growing demand for printed nonwovens in the US market. Representing a combined investment of about DKK 250 million, the two new pro-

duction lines will add more than 10% to the existing capacity within each business area.

Fibertex Personal Care has worked for several years to add specialty products to its portfolio, including materials with visual effects as well as softer and textile-like materials, and the company has successfully built a strong position in this field. In addition to physical products, the efforts have also centred on developing new services, including an improved selection of ready print designs for the many customers that do not have an in-house design department.

For many years, sustainable production and responsible use of resources have been focus areas for Fibertex Personal Care and the company is now the world's first nonwoven manufacturer to be ISCC PLUS certified. As a result, the company is now able to supply nonwovens based on a sustainable raw material called bio- or circular polypro- pylene.

The certification has enabled Fibertex Personal Care to begin a ground-breaking partnership with SABIC, one of its most important suppliers, for the purpose of supporting an accelerated transition to a more sustainable plastics supply chain. As the entire personal care industry is deeply engaged in developing sustainable products, the new partnership has already generated a lot of interest.

Outlook

Due to the coronavirus situation, demand for nonwo- vens for the production of personal protective equipment remains strong. Fibertex Personal Care has continued to focus mainly on materials for the production of diapers, sanitary towels and incontinence products, but operations involving printing on non- wovens to be used for face masks have increased. From a general perspective, Asia is expected to see growth in all three areas, but incontinence products have shown particularly positive trends in both the European and North American markets.

Fibertex Personal Care retains its full-year revenue forecast of DKK 2.1 billion, and EBITDA is maintained in the DKK 390-420 million range. As always, revenue and EBITDA are subject to changes in prices of raw materials and in foreign exchange rates.

performance from the second quarter. As a result, all production units reported high capacity utilisation at the end of the third quarter.

In recent years, Fibertex Nonwovens has consolidated its position as a leading manufacturer of industrial nonwovens, strengthening its business base through a number of important strategic and structural initiatives. In terms of development and

Based on the current outlook, Fibertex Nonwovens raises its full-year revenue guidance to DKK 1.7 bil- lion, which is the upper end of the previously guided range of DKK 1.6-1.7 billion, while also raising its EBITDA guidance range to DKK 245-265 million from previously DKK 205-225 million.

Financial performance

Fibertex Nonwovens reported Q3 2020 revenue of DKK 478 million, a 9% increase from DKK 437 million in Q3 2019. Volume sales to the automotive industry improved during the quarter, and the positive performance at the end of the second quarter carried over into the third quarter for other segments.

On the earnings side, however, Fibertex Nonwo- vens reported its best third quarter ever thanks to strong volume sales of products for manufacturing disposable wipes, filtration materials and industrial products. Reported EBITDA for Q3 2020 was DKK 80 million, up from DKK 47 million in Q3 2019. This stronger-than-expected improvement found support in reduced prices of raw materials compared to last year, good capacity utilisation and the effects of a number of improvement initia- tives.

Working capital fell from DKK 546 million at 30 September 2019 to DKK 481 million at 30 Sep-

Business review

The coronavirus situation caused a change in demand patterns for nonwovens early in the year. Fibertex Nonwovens has quickly and successfully managed to transfer freed-up production capacity from automotive and industrial purposes to other products in stronger demand, thereby increasing its capacity for manufacturing healthcare-related products. In addition, Fibertex Nonwovens is reaping the benefits of capacity expansion investments made in recent years at its factory sites in Turkey, France, the USA and Brazil.

During the third quarter, the company saw growing demand in important segments. Sales to the automotive industry, which had been severely impacted by the shutdown of automotive plants in the second quarter, performed well during the third quarter and sales of traditional industrial products and products for the construction industry were solid. Also, sales of products for manufacturing wipes and specialty products (including nanoproducts) for the production of face masks continued the strong

innovation, the company has built a solid portfolio of projects, including new products for the automotive, construction and composite industries for acoustic applications, filtration solutions and products used to manufacture wipes. Among the special initiatives that have been underway in Den- mark for some time is nanotechnology, the focus of which is to develop and manufacture products for filtration and healthcare-related purposes.

Outlook

The coronavirus situation continues to affect Fibertex Nonwovens' operations. However, it is the impression that the European and North American automotive industries have stabilised, so the current level of activity can be sustained for the rest of the year and into the first half of 2021. At the same time, upward trending demand in other segments has contributed to high capacity utilisation, and developments in prices of the most frequently used types of raw materials have supported a sound balance between prices of raw materials and selling prices.

Growing demand from certain segments driving strong revenue and EBITDA im- provements. Revenue and EBITDA guidance raised.

GPV is a leading European EMS (Electronics Manufacturing Services) company. The company is a high-mix/low-medium volume manufacturer in the B2B market. Core products are electronics, mechanics, cable harnessing, mechatronics (com- bination of electronics, mechanics and software) and associated services.

The company's customers are primarily major international businesses typically headquartered in Europe or North America, and GPV supplies its customers' international units in more than fifty countries. GPV has a strong production platform and operates production facilities in Denmark, Switzerland, Germany, Austria, Slovakia, Thailand, Sri Lanka, China and Mexico.

Financial performance

GPV reported Q3 2020 revenue of DKK 836 mil- lion, a 13% increase from DKK 741 million in Q3 2019 and a good deal better than expected. The revenue performance was driven by a number of opposing factors, with demand more or less down in some segments while it was stronger in others. In particular, GPV delivered most of a major order to a MedTech customer in the ventilator segment, which had a positive effect on both revenue and earnings for the quarter.

EBITDA rose to DKK 84 million in the quarter from DKK 56 million in Q3 2019. The Q3 2020 EBITDA was lifted by the increase in revenue, while the

Q3 2019 comparator was adversely affected by changes in Thai baht exchange rates against the main selling currencies.

Working capital amounted to DKK 805 million at 30 September 2020, which was in line with the amount at 30 September 2019 following an increase in trade receivables and a drop in invento- ries. In addition, the effects of extended deadlines for paying in VAT and employee income taxes, etc. due to the coronavirus situation contributed to keeping working capital steady despite the higher revenue.

ROIC excluding goodwill increased to 9.2% at 30 September 2020 from 7.4% at 30 June 2020, driven by the improved earnings.

Business review

During 2020, GPV has aligned its business activity to the current coronavirus situation. A few of the company's factory sites were temporarily closed fully or in part in compliance with government- imposed restrictions, but overall, GPV has generally managed to maintain its usual level of service throughout the period. Similarly, some of the company's customers have had to close their plants temporarily or have for other reasons cut back on calling for shipments from GPV. On the other hand, many customers have kept business activity at normal levels, and a few, including in the MedTech segments, have recorded consider-

able improvements, which strongly drove volume sales in the third quarter.

Meeting customer requirements for high quality standards and reliability of supply is a top priority for GPV. To ensure adequate flexibility, the company has an ongoing investment programme to step up automation and efficiency. This includes ongoing attention to digitising business processes, including the use of video streaming for customer audits, certification audits and implementing new products. Earlier in the year, GPV made a decision to implement a new manufacturing execution system (MES) across factory sites. The project was launched at the end of the third quarter and is expected to run over the coming years.

Outlook

GPV believes the coronavirus situation market will continue to drive market developments in the upcoming period, and that this will impact the general level of business activity in the fourth quarter and into 2021. On the other hand, GPV is experiencing growing demand from a number of customers, and the company has a strong pipeline with an ongoing inflow of new contracts and new customers, which over the longer term will support its business activ- ity. The overall impact on GPV's business activity will depend very much on the length of time Europe and North America will more or less remain in lock down, and on how severely the global economy will be impacted by the situation.

The large shipments to the MedTech segment are not expected to continue at current high levels, but shipments made in the third quarter have boosted the full-year guidance. As a result, GPV is raising its full-year revenue guidance to the DKK 2.8-2.9 billion range (from previously about DKK 2.7 billion) and its EBITDA guidance range to DKK 230-250 million (from previously DKK 200-230 million).

HydraSpecma

Sales of products for the vehicles segment recovering faster than previously expected. Sales of solutions for wind turbines and other stationary equipment remaining strong. Revenue and EBITDA guidance raised.

HydraSpecma is a manufacturing, trading and engineering company specialising in Power & Motion whose core business is hydraulic components and systems for industry and the aftermarket. The company is a hydraulics market leader in the Nordic region and also serves customers from its own businesses in Poland, the UK, China, India, Brazil and the USA.

Financial performance

HydraSpecma performed better than expected in the third quarter. Sales of solutions for wind turbines and other stationary equipment remained at a sound level, and business from large global customers in the vehicles segment has recovered faster than anticipated. Demand in other segments remains moderate due to the coronavirus situation.

HydraSpecma reported Q3 2020 revenue of DKK 473 million, a 4% decline from DKK 494 million in Q3 2019. Despite the slight drop in revenue, reported EBITDA for Q3 2020 improved to DKK 57 million, up from DKK 53 million in Q3 2019.

Working capital fell from DKK 689 million at 30 September 2019 to DKK 624 million at 30 Sep- tember 2020. The decline was mainly due to lower inventories and the effects of extended deadlines for paying in VAT and employee income taxes, etc. due to the coronavirus situation.

ROIC excluding goodwill increased from 11.6% at 30 June 2020 to 11.8% at 30 September 2020, driven mainly by the earnings improvement and the lower working capital.

Business review

HydraSpecma continued aligning its operations to the current level of activity in the third quarter, and the company has retained its usual high level of service and efficiency. The factory in India was closed for part of the reporting period due to a local government order, but the company's other units stepped in to ensure customer shipments were made.

HydraSpecma continues the work to optimise its production lead times in order to remain agile and to enhance efficiency in both large and small series production runs and to optimise logistics both in- house and externally.

In its Danish operations, HydraSpecma completed a warehouse expansion in Skjern that will improve in-house logistics, and the company has begun to build a new tech centre at Ishøj outside Copen- hagen which is scheduled to be operational in the second half of 2021.

In Sweden, HydraSpecma is building new logistics and production facilities in the Gothenburg area, which will help the company optimise its current production and ensure sufficient capacity to meet

anticipated future demand from customers in the vehicles segment. The new unit is expected to begin operations by the end of the first half of 2021.

In recent years, HydraSpecma has expanded its product assortment and grown its expertise within electrified solutions that not only operate independently but can also be combined with hydraulic components for hybrid solutions. The purpose of these efforts is to accommodate growing market demand for electrification along with the compa- ny's goal of making its solutions more sustainable.

Outlook

HydraSpecma expects to maintain sales to customers in the wind turbine segment and for other stationary equipment at the current satisfactory level. Demand from major customers in the vehicles segment has been trending upwards, and combined with its growing market share, the company expects sales will return to pre-corona levels over the next six months. Other customers are also experiencing growing business activity, but it is believed that a full return to normal will take a good deal longer.

The hydraulics market remains marred by uncer- tainty, with prospects continually changing and at short notice. HydraSpecma continues the work help its companies align to the future market situation while also making the necessary investments to ensure that the organisation remains agile and

retains its competitive strength and high level of service. The company has also allocated resources to identify opportunities that may arise in a turbulent market.

Based on the stronger demand from customers in the vehicles segment, HydraSpecma raises its full- year revenue guidance to just over DKK 1.9 billion from the previous forecast of about DKK 1.8 billion. The full-year EBITDA guidance range is raised accordingly, to DKK 185-205 million from the previous forecast of DKK 160-180 million.

Europe's largest independent remanufacturing company, Borg Automotive produces, sells and distributes remanufactured automotive parts to the European market, thereby supporting the concept of a circular economy.

Borg Automotive sells its products under three different brands: the international brand Lucas and the company's two proprietary brands, El- stock and DRI. The company's main products are starters, alternators, brake callipers, air-condition compressors, EGR valves, steering racks and pumps. The company's business model is supported by a sales deposit system that encourages customers to return defective spare parts as they are replaced, so they can be used as cores for remanufacturing purposes.

Headquartered in Silkeborg, Denmark, Borg Automotive operates production facilities in Poland and the UK and has a sales subsidiary in Belgium. In September 2020, the company agreed to acquire turbocharger operations in Spain.

Financial performance

The coronavirus situation continued to affect Borg Automotive in the third quarter of 2020, especially early in the quarter when several markets were still impacted by the reduced level of activity. Nevertheless, reported Q3 2020 revenue was DKK 242 million, a 6% decline from DKK 258 million in Q3 2019.

Borg Automotive has launched a number of initiatives and adjustments in 2020 to counter the effects of the coronavirus situation, including a major organisational realignment. The results of the efforts have been better than expected, and despite the slight drop in revenue, reported EBITDA improved from DKK 32 million in Q3 2019 to DKK 38 million in Q3 2020.

Working capital fell from DKK 184 million at 30 September 2019 to DKK 60 million at 30 Septem- ber 2020, which is a good deal less than would otherwise be expected. The reduced working capital was due to, among other things, reduced component and finished goods inventories as well as lower trade receivables. In addition, the extended deadlines for paying in VAT and employee income taxes, etc. due to the coronavirus situation had a positive effect.

ROIC excluding goodwill grew from 13.1% at 30 June 2020 to 15.2% at 30 September 2020.

Business review

Borg Automotive has continuously worked to develop its product portfolio and in September 2020, as part of these efforts, the company struck a deal with Spanish remanufacturing company Turbo Motor Inyección (TMI) to acquire that company's turbocharger operations. Remanufactured turbochargers is a rapidly growing product segment, and this addition to the product portfolio

accommodates customer demand. The acquisition adds about 135 employees to Borg Automo- tive's staff and about DKK 100 million to annual revenue. The acquisition is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2020 as an asset transaction with an earn-out model that over time could result in an enterprise value of DKK 60-80 million.

The TMI acquisition will support Borg Automo- tive's position as Europe's largest independent remanufacturing company and will strengthen the company's presence in the important southern European market.

Outlook

The considerable customer consolidation seen in recent years in the market Borg Automotive serves has obviously caused changes to prevailing trading patterns, but it also provides added revenue opportunities for large, well-established players like Borg Automotive. Borg Automotive has a broad product portfolio and a strong pipeline that will support positive sales developments to the independent aftermarket and to the OE seg- ment.

The recent agreement to acquire the turbocharger operations in Spain supports Borg Automotive's product portfolio and its market position, but the deal is not expected to have a material effect on revenue and earnings for 2020.

After the end of the Q2 2020 reporting period, Borg Automotive forecast FY 2020 revenue of about DKK 850 million and EBITDA in the range of DKK 75-85 million. Based on the current outlook, Borg Automotive now expects to report FY 2020 revenue in the DKK 850-900 million range and EBITDA in the range of DKK 90-110 million.

Capital resources

It is group policy when raising loans to maximise flexibility by diversifying borrowings in respect of maturity, renegotiation dates and counterparties, with due consideration to costs. The objective is to maintain sufficient capital resources for investing and to continue to run business operations and respond adequately to unforeseen fluctuations in cash holdings. The Group's capital resources consist of undrawn credit facilities and cash. In April 2020, the Group established new committed facilities of DKK 1 billion running for 12 months with an optional extension of a further 12 months.

The Group sold its holding of equities measured at the official market value (level 1) in the first quarter of 2020. Securities measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (level 3) amounted to DKK 1 million at the beginning of the year and DKK 1 million at the end of the third quarter.

The Group uses interest rate swaps and forward currency contracts to hedge fluctuations in the level of interest rates and foreign exchange rates. Forward exchange contracts and interest rate swaps are valued using generally accepted valuation techniques based on relevant observable swap curves and exchange rates (level 2). The fair values applied are calculated mainly by external sources on the basis of discounted future cash flows. Other securities and investments forming part of a trading portfolio (level 2) includes the shareholding in Incuba A/S.

The fair value of derivative financial instruments is calculated by way of valuation models such as discounted cash flow models. Anticipated cash flows for individual contracts are based on observable market data such as interest rates and exchange rates. In addition, fair values are based on non-observable market data, including exchange rate volatilities, or correlations between yield curves and credit risks. Non-observable market data account for an insignificant part of the fair value of the derivative financial instruments at the end of the reporting period.
