MAHLE Metal Leve S.A. | 2Q21 Earnings Release

1.Management Commentary

2021 is being as challenging as 2020. Despite the improvement in the pandemic situation - the advancing vaccination campaigns help create a more favorable environment - now there are new difficulties to deal with.

Brazil's new vehicle market was struggling to recover when it was hit principally by a shortage of semiconductors. The

new vehicle market grew over the last quarters and is currently facing material shortages.

With respect to the second-hand and used car market, it is necessary to go back to the first half of 2020 when there was

a supply chain disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. As demand increased, the market began recovering in the

second half of 2020 and continued through the first quarter of 2021. Nevertheless, in the first quarter of 2021, there was

the impact of the second wave of the coronavirus pandemic.

The Company's 2Q21 net revenue grew by 146.4% compared with 2Q20, driven by an increase in Aftermarket sales

(+111.4%), domestic OE market (+234.7%) and OE exports (+137.2%). The Company's 1H21 net revenue grew by

84.5% compared with 1H20, driven by an increase in Aftermarket sales (+84.1%), domestic OE market (+99.8%) and OE

exports (+74.6%).

The charts below show the Company's revenue by business segment in1H21 and 1H20:

In 2Q21, the Company reported an adjusted EBITDA margin of 19.6% (4.0% in 2Q20) with adjusted EBITDA of R$ 174.1 million (R$ 14.3 million in 2Q20). Adjusted EBITDA margin for 1H21 was 21.7% (R$ 373.3 million) versus adjusted EBITDA margin of 11.3% in 1H20 (R$ 105.8 million). The adjustments relate to the following non-recurring events. See items 4.11 and 4.14 for details.

  • 2Q20 - Impairment of R$ 29.2 million of the goodwill of subsidiary MAHLE Argentina S.A.;
  • 2Q21 - Tax credits of R$ 88.8 million arising from exclusion of ICMS from the PIS and COFINS tax base.

It is important to mention that there is still a high degree of uncertainty surrounding the future developments of the pandemic and the global economic recovery, and various industry segments, including the sector in which the Company operates, may be adversely affected in the future.
