CHANGE IN PERIMETER

Schlemmer's Europe-Africa activities

Considering the very recent integration of Schlemmer's Europe/Africa perimeter, Schlemmer is for the moment isolated from the historical perimeter of DELFINGEN. Figures at the end of December are significantly better than those expected at the time of the acquisition. A proforma analysis of sales for this activity shows a breakdown of around 93 % in the Automotive Market and 7 % in the Industrial Market.

Net sales from sites held in joint ventures (Italy, Morocco and Tunisia) are not included in the published revenues because these sites are placed on an equivalence.

Between September and December, the amount of this turnover is 6.7 m€. Following the acquisition of 51% of Schlemmer Italy previously held by Intercable, the Schlemmer Italy, Morocco and Tunisia entities will be fully consolidated from December 31, 2020. (see December 23, 2020 Press Release).

Perspectives

DELFINGEN's

strong commercial performance in Q4 confirms the company's

strategic positioning in

a rapidly

changing Automotive Market with accelerating demand for hybrid

and electric vehicles.

Delfingen's mission is to protect the electrical wiring, the real vehicles' nervous system.

In this context, and as announced in the press release of December 23rd, 2020, DELFINGEN expects a current operating margin of around 8.0 % of turnover.
