MAHLE Metal Leve S.A. | Third Quarter 2022 Financial Results Release

1.Management Commentary

The close of the third quarter of 2022 was another important step towards the recovery of the automotive industry in Brazil after a sluggish first quarter because of electronic components shortage; some improvement began in the second quarter.

According to the Brazilian Association of Automotive Vehicle Manufacturers (ANFAVEA), vehicle production in the third quarter of 2022 was up 11.6% and vehicle sales rose 14.3% compared with the prior quarter. Anfavea's monthly analysis Page | 3 showed that the September figures were lower than the record high levels set in August, mainly because of two fewer working days. A highlight is the continued improvement in average daily sales since January, reaching 9.2 thousand new

car registrations per business day, the strongest result in the year. Year-to-date auto production from January to September increased by 6.3%, exports rose 31.2%, while new car registrations declined by 4.7%. The truck segment remained at roughly the same level as 2021 when it saw growth driven by demand from agribusiness and delivery market.

The global market still faces challenges as there is the possibility of new lockdowns in major Chinese cities due to COVID- 19, with supply chains (especially semiconductors) facing more disruption risk; the Russia-Ukraine war has affected commodity prices and the global logistics market; global inflation; and slowing global GDP growth.

The Company seeks to achieve a balance between the Original Equipment and Aftermarket segments in both domestic and export markets, so as to offset oscillations across the segments and stabilize its profit margin over time.

The Company's 3Q22 net revenue increased 26.3%

The chart below shows the Company's revenue by

compared with the same period in 2021, driven by an

business segment in 9M22 and 9M21:

increase in sales in the Aftermarket (+37.4%), domestic OE

market (+28.2%), and export OE market (+12.2%). Net

revenue for the first nine months of 2022 increased 16.3%

compared with the first nine months of 2021, driven by an

increase in sales in the Aftermarket (+28.7%), domestic OE

market (+22.3%), partially offset by a decline in the export

OE market (-1.1%).

Adjusted EBITDA margin in 3Q22 was 23.6% (R$ 283.0 million) versus 19.6% (R$ 185.9 million with adjustment) in 3Q21. Adjusted EBITDA margin in 9M22 was 20.7% (R$ 643.0 million) versus 20.9% (R$ 559.2 million with adjustment) in 9M21. More information about changes in EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA for 2021 is provided in item 4.10below.

The Company continues to monitor the global COVID-19 situation and maintains a crisis committee to monitor the evolving situation at all its plants to mitigate the risk of contamination of employees and service providers. The Company continues to allow employees who can work remotely (for example, administrative staff) to work from home on a full time or hybrid basis.
