Joep van Beurden, Kendrion CEO:

"Almost half a year into the global COVID-19 pandemic, the world we live in has changed in an unprecedented way. As our priority, we have implemented strict measures to protect the health and safety of our employees. We have had nine infected colleagues, seven have fully recovered and two are recovering. In no instance has a Kendrion employee infected another employee. We have been able to continue production in all our factories in a safe and responsible way and we continue to deliver to our customers around the world.

Although the global economic activity level is increasing, we are still substantially below pre-COVID-19 levels with most advanced economies shrinking by around 10% year-on-year in Q2. In Europe and in the US, passenger car purchases were severely impacted in April and May. The Industrial segment was impacted to a lesser extent and, including the contribution of INTORQ, we were able to grow our Industrial revenue and its profitability in Q1 and Q2. INTORQ, now an integral part of our Industrial Brakes business unit, performed ahead of expectations. China - affected heavily in Q1 by COVID-19 - is another highlight, as the strong recovery in Q2 compensated for the weaker Q1, both in terms of revenue growth and profitability. In addition to the voluntary and temporary salary reduction of senior management, throughout Q2 we have applied strict cost control measures and have made full use of available support packages from governments in countries in which we operate.

With INTORQ fully integrated, and China well over 10% of the Group's revenue, our profile has changed. We invest in growth opportunities in Automotive, Industrial Brakes and China. The focus in Industrial Actuators and Controls is on profitability and cash generation.

Looking ahead, we expect the pandemic to continue to determine our (business) life. We withstood the shock of the COVID-19 crisis, adjusted our cost levels and stabilised our financial position. We have reached agreement in principle with the banks on an increased buffer within our financial covenants. Kendrion's product pipeline is healthy and the work on all future products is continuing. We remain positive about our underlying business fundamentals for the longer term and work diligently to ensure that beyond COVID-19, our prospects are better than ever."

Update on COVID-19

In all of Kendrion's facilities, we have strict operating procedures in place to protect the health and safety of our employees. We will keep in place and adjust these measures as appropriate and for as long as it is needed. To date, Kendrion has had nine known COVID-19 infections, seven are fully recovered and two are recovering. So far, there are no secondary infections at Kendrion identified.

As part of our strict cost control programme, we continued to make use of available short-time work arrangements in all European facilities. Discretionary spending has been restrained and we have suspended all uncommitted and non-urgent capital expenditure.

Kendrion's supply chain is fully operational. Kendrion continuously monitors suppliers that are critical to its supply chain and is committed to reducing its cash contained in working capital in a period where revenues are under pressure.

Progress on strategy

Kendrion has built a robust and lean organisation, operating in three business units: Automotive Group (AG), Industrial Brakes (IB) and Industrial Actuators and Controls (IAC). We maintain our focus on operational effectiveness and cost levels and continue investing in growth in Automotive, Industrial Brakes and China. In IAC the focus is on profitability and cash generation.

Within the Automotive Group, we have continued to make progress with our five Lighthouse platforms. We see significant interest in solutions for sensor cleaning and our solution for the so-called acoustic vehicle alerting system (AVAS). Furthermore, we have received additional nominations in active suspension. We are prioritising capital investments for revenue generating projects for which we have received nominations over the last years.

The COVID-19 effect on IB in Q2 has been limited and revenue was ahead of its original budget. IB experienced strong orders in the wind power segment in China, driven by Government subsidies for clean energy. Within Industrial Brakes, INTORQ performed ahead of expectations. The realisation of the targeted EUR 2.0 million run rate for cost synergies as per the end of 2020 is on track.

Revenue in IAC decreased in the second quarter as demand from customers in textile machinery and aviation was weak, with customers in the medical segment and infrastructure being more stable, IAC experienced some COVID-19 related supply chain interruptions resulting in a greater than normal revenue backlog.

China had a strong second quarter as the economy experienced a 'V-shaped' recovery, with current volumes of passenger cars sold back at pre-pandemic levels. Our pipeline is strong, and we continue to invest in production equipment, our local workforce and supply chain. The training of the Chinese R&D team by our German engineers is now fully virtual. We expect continued growth in our Chinese operation as we add to our project pipeline in all three business units.

Kendrion will host a Capital Markets Day on 10 September 2020, to present a comprehensive strategy update for the enlarged Kendrion Group, reflecting our changed profile. This will include updated medium- term financial targets.

Financial review

Revenue

Q2 2020

Revenue in the second quarter of 2020 came in at EUR 85.1 million, a decrease of 22% compared to the second quarter of 2019 (EUR 109.0 million). Excluding the revenue contribution of INTORQ, organic revenue decreased by 34%. Exchange rates had a limited adverse effect of 0.1% on consolidated revenue.

Automotive revenue decreased by 44% in the second quarter as a result of the global decline in passenger car and commercial vehicle production, most notably in April and May 2020. Revenue recovered sharply in June 2020, but still at a lower level than pre-COVID-19. The Industrial activities increased by 15% compared to the second quarter of 2019 and generally showed more robustness. Organic Industrial revenue decreased by 18%.

Revenue in China showed a strong recovery from the first quarter with 13% organic growth compared to the same quarter last year and 63% higher revenue compared to the first quarter of this year when China faced the largest impact from the COVID-19 pandemic. Both the Industrial and Automotive activities in China reported year-on-year growth.

HY1 2020

Overall revenue for the first half of 2020 decreased by 10% to EUR 194.7 million (HY1 2019: EUR 217.3 million). Organically, revenue decreased by 23%. Exchange rates had a limited adverse impact of 0.1% on revenue in the first half year of 2020.

Revenue for our Industrial activities, representing 50% of Group revenue, increased 19% and organically, excluding the contribution of INTORQ, decreased by 14% compared to the first half year of 2019. Automotive revenue decreased by 28% in the first six months, impacted by the global car production declining 32% and commercial vehicle production declining 28%.

Results

Q2 2020

The normalised operating result before depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) was EUR 8.1 million (normalised Q2 2019: EUR 12.7 million). A positive gross margin development and cost reductions helped to mitigate the profitability impact of the EUR 37.5 million lower organic revenue. The added value margin increased 310bp on the back of the increased revenue share of Industrial activities and positive product mix effects in Automotive. Total staff and other operating costs decreased on an organic basis by EUR 8.9 million, or 23%, as a result of strict cost control, structural cost measures implemented in the previous quarters, voluntary and temporary salary reductions and the use of available governmental measures, such as short-time work arrangements in Europe. For the Group, the EBITDA margin in Q2 2020 was 9.5%, compared to 11.7% in Q2 2019.

HY1 2020

Normalised EBITDA in HY1 2020 decreased by 14% to EUR 21.8 million (HY1 2019: EUR 25.4 million). The normalised EBITDA margin was 11.2% compared to 11.7% in the first half year of 2019.

Normalised EBITDA for the Industrial activities increased to EUR 14.2 million from EUR 10.8 million in the same period last year on the back of a strong contribution from INTORQ and strict cost control in both Industrial Brakes and Industrial Actuators and Controls. Total staff and other operating costs in Industrial were EUR 3.4 million below last year on an organic basis.

The Automotive activities posted normalised EBITDA of EUR 7.6 million compared to EUR 14.6 million in HY1 2019. Automotive has shown resilience amidst the COVID-19 pandemic and was able to reduce costs by EUR 8.6 million, or 20% compared to the first half year of 2019.

The added value margin of the Group increased to 49.0% (HY1 2019: 47.2%) with most of the improvement coming from the increased revenue share of the Industrial activities. Total staff and other operating costs decreased by EUR 3.5 million more than offsetting annual wage inflation and the addition of INTORQ. Depreciation charges increased by EUR 0.8 million to EUR 12.8 million.

Normalised net finance costs of EUR 1.6 million in the first six months of 2020 were higher than in the same period last year (HY1 2019: EUR 1.2 million) due to the additional debt taken on to fund the acquisition of INTORQ. The normalised income tax expenses for HY1 2020 was EUR 1.1 million (HY1 2019: EUR 2.8 million). The normalised effective tax rate in the first six months of 2020 was 21.3% (HY1

2019: 25.6%).

Normalised net profit, before amortisation of intangibles arising on acquisitions, in HY1 2020 was EUR 5.8 million (HY1 2019: EUR 9.1 million). Normalised earnings before amortisation per share amounted to EUR

0.39 (HY1 2019: EUR 0.68). Basic reported earnings per share amounted to EUR 0.20 (HY1 2019: EUR

0.66).

Financial position

Total net debt including IFRS 16 lease liabilities decreased from EUR 131.8 million at the end of Q1 to EUR 130.5 million at the end of the second quarter. The positive free cash flow of EUR 2.2 million in the second quarter contributed to the debt reduction. The normalised free cash flow came in at EUR 0.2 million negative in the first half year (HY1 2019: EUR 2.7 million negative) as the positive cash flow in the second quarter nearly offset the negative cash flow in the first quarter, which is traditionally impacted by seasonal effects due to lower working capital in December when activity levels are lower. Total working capital at the end of the first half year was EUR 61.0 million. Excluding the additional working capital requirement caused by the acquisition of INTORQ, working capital was 24% lower compared to the end of the first half year of 2019. Cash flow and reducing working capital will remain a priority for the remainder of the year.

Capital expenditure totalled EUR 9.8 million in the first half of 2020, below the depreciation level of EUR

12.8 million. We expect 2020 investments to be around the EUR 19.5 million level of FY 2019 as we continue to focus on cash flow and prioritise investments that protect existing and future revenue.

Kendrion has reached an agreement on key terms with its banking syndicate to increase the leverage covenant for the quarters up to and including the third quarter of 2021. The agreement in principle allows for a total net debt (including IFRS 16) to EBITDA ratio of maximum 5.8 as per the end of Q1 2021 gradually decreasing to 3.25 from 31 December 2021 onwards. Although Kendrion currently operates well within its existing leverage covenants, the agreed covenant relief is designed to assure that Kendrion will continue to be able to invest in its longer-term growth opportunities, also in case of additional unforeseen circumstances as a result of COVID-19. At the end of the second quarter, the leverage ratio (based on definitions in the existing loan documentation) was 2.6 against a permitted financial covenant level of 3.5.

Kendrion's liquidity position remains strong with a total of EUR 54.3 million available in undrawn credit facilities and cash. The solvency ratio at the end of June 2020 was 43.3% compared to 44.1% at the end of the first quarter of 2020.

Number of employees

The number of employees (FTEs) at the end of the second quarter was 2,428, including 63 temporary employees (Q1 2020: 2,522 employees, including 69 temporary employees). Of the total number, INTORQ represents 274 FTE, including 6 temporary employees as at the end of the first half year.

Alternative Performance Measures (APM) adjustments to EBIT(D)A and net profit

An amount of EUR 1.6 million (EUR 1.2 million after tax) in staff and other operating expenses has been normalised in the results over the first half year of 2020 and is adjusted in EBITDA. EUR 0.9 million in normalised costs related to restructuring activities, EUR 0.2 million in costs were incurred relating to the realisation of synergies in Industrial Brakes and the Group incurred EUR 0.5 million in transaction costs related to the acquisition of INTORQ. For a full reconciliation reference is made to Annex 2.

Outlook

The global economy is severely impacted by the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, and we expect this to continue for the remainder of 2020 and possibly into 2021. In the medium to long-term, we continue to see growth opportunities in our focus areas of Automotive, Industrial Brakes and China. Our product pipeline is healthy and the work on future projects is continuing. Kendrion has shown resilience, making full use of available cost saving and cash preserving instruments. We remain positive about our business fundamentals, with our main objective being the delivery of sustainable profitable growth.

Annex 2.6 - Risks and risk management

The 2019 Annual Integrated Report of Kendrion N.V. extensively described the risk categories and risk factors that could have an adverse impact on the business and financial performance. The risk factors described in Kendrion N.V.'s 2019 Annual Integrated Report on pages 57 to 63 are deemed to be included herein by reference.

During the first half year of 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic has presented material risks and uncertainties in addition to the earlier identified risks as described in the 2019 Annual Integrated Report that first affected Kendrion's operations in China and subsequently in Europe and the US. A sustained global economic recession as a result of COVID-19 might impact Kendrion's future financial performance and might lead to a different view on the future. Management has carried out multiple scenarios assessments and implemented various measures with a view to mitigate the additional risks imposed.

Additional risks not known to Kendrion, or currently believed not to be material, may occur and later turn out to have a material impact on Kendrion's business, objectives or capital resources.

Annex 2.7 - Notes to the consolidated interim financial statements

1. Reporting entity

Kendrion N.V. is a public company organised under Dutch law. Its statutory seat is Amsterdam and its principal office is located in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.

Kendrion N.V. and its consolidated subsidiaries develop, manufacture and market high-quality electromagnetic systems and components for industrial and automotive applications.

The consolidated interim financial statements as at and for the six-month period ended 30 June 2020 include the results of Kendrion N.V., its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the "Group") and the Group's interests in associates and jointly controlled entities.

The consolidated interim financial statements are unaudited.

2. Declaration of conformity

The consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting, and should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2019, which are available from Kendrion N.V.'s registered office at Herikerbergweg 213, 1101 CN Amsterdam, or at www.kendrion.com.

The consolidated interim financial statements do not include all the information required for a complete set of IFRS financial statements. However, selected explanatory notes are included to explain events and transactions that are significant to an understanding of the changes in the Group's financial position and performance since the last annual consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2019.

The consolidated interim financial statements were authorised for issue by the Executive Board and the Supervisory Board on 17 August 2020.

3. Significant accounting policies

The accounting policies applied in the consolidated interim financial statements are the same as those applied in the Group's consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2019. To the extent amendments to international Financial Reporting Standards and interpretations have become effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2020 these do not have a material impact on the Group's financial performance in the first six months of 2020 and the financial position as at 30 June 2020.

4. Accounting estimates

The preparation of the consolidated interim financial statements requires the Executive Board to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies, the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenditures as well as the information disclosed. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The impact of COVID-19 has increased estimation uncertainty. The Group has applied best judgment to make reasonable estimates.

Unless otherwise specified herein in the preparation of the consolidated interim financial statements, important opinions formed by management in applying the Group's accounting policies, and the main sources of estimation used are equal to the opinions and sources used in preparing the annual consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2019.

- The quarterly and interim results are not audited -

1 Normalised for non-recurring costs of EUR 1.6 million for HY1 2020 and of EUR 1.6 million for HY1 2019.

7. Seasonality

Kendrion is not significantly affected by seasonal trends. There are, however, fewer working days in the second half of the year due to the summer holiday periods in the third quarter and the bank holidays in December.

8. Changes in the Group

Business combinations

On 5 November 2019 Kendrion announced that it entered into a definitive agreement to acquire INTORQ GmbH & Co. KG ("INTORQ"). This transaction was successfully completed on 8 January 2020. From 8 January 2020 onwards the financial statements of INTORQ and its subsidiaries are consolidated by Kendrion and reporting within the Industrial segment.

INTORQ manufactures spring-applied brakes and electromagnetic brakes and clutches for electrical drive technologies. INTORQ products are used in a diverse range of applications, including geared and servomotors, electric forklifts, wind power, cranes, hoists, elevators and escalators. INTORQ has production sites in Aerzen (Germany), Shanghai (China), Atlanta (the US) and Pune (India) and produces approximately one million brakes and clutches per year. INTORQ has annual revenues of around EUR 57 million and nearly 300 employees as at the end of 2019. With its strong position and deep knowledge of the spring-applied brake technology, proven product portfolio and successful and sizeable presence in Shanghai and Aerzen, INTORQ complements Kendrion's business unit Industrial Drive Systems (IDS) that

- The quarterly and interim results are not audited -

Page 15 of 18

has a strong position and broad product portfolio in permanent magnet brake technology. Both INTORQ and Kendrion are well-positioned to profit from growing end markets. The combination with INTORQ, creates a leading industrial brake company with a full range of high-quality industrial brakes in an expanded number of growth markets in Europe, China, the US and India. Specific shared end-markets include electric motors, wind power and elevators. Complimentary markets include geared motors, forklifts, cranes and hoists.

As of 8 January 2020, INTORQ contributed revenue of EUR 27.5 million to the Group's results. Its contribution to net profit during this period amounted to EUR 1.9 million after deduction of the charges relating to the purchase price allocation. Management considers the revenue and contribution to net profit in the period 1 January 2020 until 8 January 2020 neglectable.

Consideration transferred

The total consideration transferred amounted to EUR 64.4 million.

Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed

The table below shows the recognised amounts of assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date:

Acquisition related costs

The Group incurred acquisition-related costs of EUR 1.7 million related to advisory fees, legal fees and due diligence costs. Of these costs, EUR 1.2 million were recognised in FY 2019 and EUR 0.5 million in HY1 2020. The costs have been included in other operating expenses in the statement of comprehensive income.

Page 17 of 18

• EUR 3.6 million in other overdraft facilities.

As at 30 June 2020, the total availability in cash and unutilised amount of the credit facilities was approximately EUR 54 million.

Pursuant to the terms of the credit facility with the banking syndicate, the Group is subject to a financial covenant relating to the leverage ratio (interest-bearing debt / EBITDA). The total net debt (including IFRS

1. to EBITDA ratio should remain below 3.0, with the possibility of a temporary increase until the end of 2020 to a maximum of 3.5. As per the end of the second quarter the leverage ratio was 2.6 against the permitted maximum leverage ratio of 3.5. Thereby, the Group satisfied the leverage ratio as at 30 June 2020. The financial covenant is tested quarterly on a 12-month rolling basis.

Kendrion has reached an agreement on key terms to increase the leverage covenant for the quarters up to and including the third quarter of 2021. The agreement in principle allows for a total net debt (including IFRS 16) to EBITDA ratio of maximum 5.8 as per the end of Q1 2021 gradually decreasing to 3.25 from 31 December onwards.

Security provided

The Group has provided a mortgage on its premises in Malente, Germany for a EUR 1.9 million loan. No security is provided in relation to the EUR 150 million revolving Credit facility.

The tax expense for the first six months was EUR 0.7 million, equivalent to a 19% effective tax rate.

As mentioned in Annex 2.2, the provisions and current tax liabilities per 30 June 2019 were restated due to the adoption of IFRIC 23. The effect of this restatement is EUR 2.2 million and concerns a reclassification from the provisions to the current tax liabilities.

16. Financial instruments

As at 30 June 2020 the value of the derivative instruments in the balance sheet is a EUR 0.3 million liability (31 December 2019: EUR 0.1 million asset).

There have been no material changes since the end of 2019 in terms of sensitivity to market risks (i.e. currency, interest and price).

17. Commitments, contingent assets and contingent liabilities

There have been no material changes since the end of 2019 regarding the contingent liabilities as per note 19 of the Annual Integrated Report for the financial year 2019.
