  • NA: Freight, locomotives and AM decreased due to lower transport volumes, leading to lower utilization of existing vehicles and lower demand
  • APAC: Impact by COVID-19 particularly in China (earlier than other countries in APAC), leading to OE delays and lower AM demand by operators
  • EU: On similar OI level in Q1/20 vs. Q1/19
  • Tough comparable financial figures: strong OI in Q4/19 due to timing of tender awards led to balanced OI in Q1/20

Knorr-Bremse AG 12

RVS - POSITIVE LONG TERM TREND IN RAIL IS UNCHANGED

Strong order book with more than € 1.2bn in manufacturing projects that provide long-term revenue visibility and ensure industrial activity for the period 2020-2024.

Customer commitment to the continuity of ongoing manufacturing projects.

Talgo

OE business

No cancellations, but selective tender process shifts

Temporarily closed customer plants nearly all

reopened

Order backlog of USD 33.1bn in transportation. Gradual recovering in the second half of the year.

Bombardier

With some 151m passengers DB Long- Distance set a new passenger record

in 2019 (+1.9%yoy). New capital expenditures rose by 41% to € 5.6bn in 2019. DB' aim is to substantially increase the performance of rail in Germany.

Deutsche Bahn

Siemens Mobility, an integral part of Siemens AG, was

largely able to steer clear of the effects of the coronavirus crisis in Q2. Despitepandemic-related

restrictions limiting access to customer locations, Siemens Mobility continued to successfully execute its projects. Resilient performance supported by high order backlog of € 32bn.

Siemens Mobility

Temporary lower utilization of trains unlikely to

impact positive long term trend of rail mobility

China:1) COVID-19 impact in Feb., but V-shape

recovery beginning in Mar. 2) Support by market

demand and governmental stimuli

Europe:1) COVID-19 impact in Q2/20 expected 2)

Governmental support in many countries 3)

Investments in eco-friendly mobility continues

NA:1) COVID-19 impact in Q2/20 expected 2) Lower

demand in Freight for longer expected, but limited

Strong rail market fundamentals driven by sustainable transport needs. No cancellation of orders in backlog. Resilient market mid-term.Objective of a 5% average annual growth rate of sales over the period2019/20-2022/23should be slightly impacted

from temporary tender activity slowdown.

SUPPLY CHAIN

  • No supplier closed due toCOVID-19 anymore (peak ~20%)
    • Asia: China back to normal/ India still issues
    • Europe: much improved
    • NA: ok
  • Supplier strategy pays off
      • Dual sourcing of strategic components
      • High level of localization
    1. Under the condition of a further recovery ofCOVID-19.

COUNTER MEASURES

  • >250 cost and cash measures defined and partly implemented
  • China: limited efficiency measures necessary
  • Europe: 20%short-time work in admin departments
  • NA: some layoffs due to weak freight market

FINANCIAL IMPACT1

  • Lock downs, supply chain issues and customer plant/ depot closures impact OE and AM in H1/20
  • Expected development: H2/20 > H1/20
  • OE: no cancellations, but selective tender process shifts
  • AM: - Resilient AM mitigates OE pressure
    • Train availability improving, utilization low
    • OE contracts include age limits of components

CVS - CONTENT PER VEHICLE AND AM MITIGATED COVID-19 IMPACT

  1. Cautious regarding the demand recovery even after the end of production lockdowns 2) U.S. and Europe demand would not recover similar to China
  1. The new normalin the U.S. and Europe could be 20% below previous levels.

Volvo/ MS

OE business

Nearly all customer plants are open again

Support from content per vehicle growth continues

As market conditions improve throughout the year, we have confidence that the company is positioned to build upon its quarter performance and take advantage of what we expect to be a stronger

second half.

Navistar

Across all industries, we expect to increase the rate of production from May

onwards and perhaps we will be able to return to normal levels in June or July.

Daimler Trucks/ Handelsblatt

The effects of the corona pandemic have forced us to reconsider our investment priorities and research and development projects. And we are bracing ourselves for a substantial decline in both sales revenue and operating profit in the second quarter. All key figures will be negatively

impacted. Traton

EU:1) Slow down of TPR after many years of strong

growth as expected 2) Clear impact by COVID-19

started end of March and first signs of recovery on a

lower level

NA:1) Normalization of TPR after many years of

strong growth as expected 2) Strong COVID-19

impact started in Q2/20 and lasting

China:1) COVID-19 impact in Feb./Mar. 2) Apr./May

very strong recovery 3) Additional market share gains

Without clear forward visibility on the COVID-19 endgame, the crystal ball is particularly opaque, as the economy begins to reemerge from its medically-induced coma… Coupling an otherwise structurally sound pre-COVID economy, with strong governmental support and rising pent-up demand, there is a case for the economy to rebound into 2021.

AM business

  • AM demand with high resilience (e.g. growth in Q1/20 yoy)
  • Pent-updemand AM after end of lockdowns expected

All statements other than statements of historical facts included in this presentation, including, without limitation, those regarding the Company's financial position, business strategy, plans and objectives of management for future operations (including cost savings and productivity improvement plans) are forward-looking statements. By their nature, such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors that could cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements are based on numerous assumptions regarding the Company's present and future business strategies and the market environment in which the Company will operate in the future. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this presentation. Each of the Company, the relevant Group entities and their respective agents, employees and advisers, expressly disclaims any obligation or undertaking to update any forward-looking statements contained herein.
