Veoneer-SSW/Qualcomm Merger update
Veoneer stockholders approved the merger agreement in December and by the end of January the deal had received the required regulatory approvals in the United States, Germany, France and Italy. In addition, SSW and Qualcomm are consulting other regulators regarding the merger.
As communicated before the deal is expected to close in 2022. The earliest date to close the deal according to the merger agreement is in early April 2022. The parties are working diligently to be in a position to close at that time.
Veoneer has been informed that when the acquisition of Veoneer closes SSW intends to sell Arriver to Qualcomm and start the formal process to find long term owner or owners for Veoneer's on-going businesses.
Comments from Jan Carlson, Chairman, President and CEO
The fourth quarter was another period of solid performance by the entire Veoneer team. During this time of unprecedented internal and external change our team managed to deliver solid results and stay focused on the day to day operations which continues to be challenged by semiconductor related shortages and the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Despite being limited by semiconductor related shortages our sales continued to significantly outperform the light vehicle production and our operating loss, taking into consideration around $20 million of merger related costs, improved significantly from the same period a year ago. In general our financial management continues to be very strong and in the fourth quarter we managed to achieve positive operating cash flow.
The merger process with SSW/Qualcomm is progressing well and it will allow for all parts of the Company to further focus on its core competencies. For Veoneer as a leading supplier of systems, sensors and integration for ADAS and safety and for Arriver as a leading software house combining their solution with Qualcomm's world leading Snapdragon Ride SoC. We are committed to provide timely updates to our shareholders as the process continues and we are approaching the closing and the payout to our shareholders.
During the fourth quarter we also took the next steps in our ESG efforts by setting ambitious targets for reducing our carbon footprint and eventually becoming carbon neutral by the year 2040.
We continue to focus on daily execution and look forward to significant growth and a new structure for Veoneer and Arriver, that is fit for the changing business environment.

1 Non-U.S. GAAP measure reconciliation for Organic Sales

Net Sales- Veoneer's net sales for the quarter of $449 million remained virtually unchanged as compared to 2020. The organic sales1 declined by 1%. The net currency translation effects were virtually flat. The organic sales decline1 is explained by the YoY decline in the LVP, which according to IHS Markit's January 2022 estimates was 13%. Veoneer's outperformance vs. LVP during the quarter was ~12%.
The decline in the fourth quarter LVP was 7pp less than IHS Markit's expectation from October 2021, mainly driven by stronger than expected LVP in China and the Americas, partly offset by slightly weaker than expected LVP in Europe.
Restraint Control Systems- Net sales for the quarter of $173 million declined by 22% as compared to 2020. The underperformance in organic sales vs. the LVP is mainly explained by an unfavorable mix, where cars with our products have had larger decreases compared to other car segments within our customers and compared to other OEMs.
Active Safety- Net sales for the quarter of $251 million increased by 18% as compared to 2020. As net currency translation effects were flat the organic sales1 growth was also 18%. The growth was predominately driven by new launches and ramp up of recent launches in Japan, Europe and China.
Vision systems, ADAS ECU's and the new market for Driver Monitoring Systems (DMS) saw particularly strong growth, which was partly offset by slight declines in sales of Radar and Thermal Imaging products.
Brake Systems and Other- The combined net sales for the quarter of $25 million increased by $3 million as compared to 2020. This increase was due to higher volumes of brake ECU's relating to the ramp up of the recently launched Ford F150. The Brake Systems sales of $12 million are related to the Honda legacy business and $13 million of Other are Brake ECU sales to ZF.
Income Statement
Gross Profit- Despite a slightly negative YoY sales development, gross profit for the quarter of $90 million was $18 million higher as compared to 2020. This positive development was mainly a result of customer and supplier pricing negotiations and developments to compensate for higher costs and disruptions stemming from COVID-19 and the component shortage situation. To a lesser extent, lower non-quality related costs, reductions in production overhead and positive currency effects also contributed to the improved gross profit and gross margin.
Operating Loss - Operating loss for the quarter of $73 million improved by $4 million as compared to 2020. Costs relating to the planned acquisition of Veoneer had a negative effect of ~$20 million. Net currency effects were around $4 million.
RD&E, net of $97 million decreased by $11 million for the quarter as compared to 2020. The decrease was a result of improvements in all areas of gross RD&E, including costs for personnel, professional services and lower IT expenses, which was partly offset by lower RD&E income.
The SG&A expense of $41 million for the quarter remained unchanged as compared to 2020.
Amortization of intangibles and goodwill were flat YoY, while Others net, was negative by $23 million, mainly due to costs relating to the planned acquisition of Veoneer by SSW Partners and Qualcomm.
Net Loss - Net loss for the quarter of $86 million improved by $5 million as compared to 2020 primarily due to the $4 million decrease in operating loss and lower tax expense.
The interest, net and other non-operating items, net combined for the quarter were $3 million better as compared to 2020, mainly due to $4 million in non operating costs in the fourth quarter of 2020.
Income tax expense of $3 million for the quarter was $3 million lower as compared to 2020. This decrease is mainly due to discrete tax items of $3 million in the fourth quarter of 2020.
Loss per Share - The loss per share of $0.77 for the quarter improved by $0.05 per share as compared to a loss of $0.82 per share in 2020. This improvement was primarily driven by the decreased operating loss improvement. This was offset by the equity method investment loss of $0.4 per share and the merger related cost of $0.17.
Cash Flow and Balance Sheet
Net cash used in operating activities - Net cash generated in operating activities of $8 million during the fourth quarter was $85 million better as compared to 2020. The improvement was mainly driven by the $79 million impact from the working capital change compared with 2020.
Net cash used in investing activities - Net cash generated in investing activities of $4 million during the fourth quarter was $23 million better as compared to 2020. This improvement was mainly due to $18 million of proceeds from the divestiture of Veoneer's stake in the Autotech fund.
Cash flow before financing activities1- The cash flow before financing activities of $12 million for the fourth quarter improved from $(96) million in 2020.
Net Working Capital1- Net working capital for the fourth quarter of $(45) million decreased by $50M during the fourth quarter 2021 mainly related to timing of accounts receivable and payable.
Capital Expenditures - Capital expenditures of $14 million for the fourth quarter decreased by $7 million as compared to 2020 mainly due to higher launch related investments in 2020.
Cash and cash equivalents- Cash and cash equivalents of $424 million increased by $4 million during the fourth quarter as compared to the previous quarter. This result was better than expected due to the strong operating cash flow performance and lower than expected capital expenditures.

1 Non-U.S. GAAP measure reconciliation for Organic Sales

Net Sales- Net sales for the full year of 2021 increased by 21% to $1,657 million as compared to 2020. Organic sales1 increased by 19% as compared to the 3% increase in global LVP for the same period. The net currency translation effect was 3%.
During the full year of 2021, excluding Brake Systems and Other, organic sales increased in North America by 6%, Europe by 14% and Asia by 36%. The organic sales growth was entirely driven by Active Safety Products which grew by 35%. Excluding Brake Systems and "Other", Active Safety accounted for 56% of full year 2021 sales as compared to 48% for the full year 2020.
Restraint Control Systems- Net sales for the full year of 2021 increased by 3% to $689 million as compared to 2020. Organic sales were flat, indicating a slight underperformance compared to the global LVP which was due to mix effect (lower sales of cars with Veoneer content).
Active Safety- Net sales for the full year of 2020 increased by 39% to $869 million as compared to 2020. This increase was driven by launches and continued ramp ups of recent launches.
All products in Active Safety including Vision, Radar, Thermal Imaging, ADAS ECUs, Roadscape and Software saw strong growth with Vision being the number one contributor to the organic sales growth.
Brake Systems and Other- Net sales for the full year of 2021 increased by $20 million to $99 million as compared to 2020. This was due to increased sales to ZF for the Ford F-150 platform, which was partly offset by declining legacy business to Honda US.
Income Statement
Gross Profit - Gross profit of $273 million for the full year of 2021 was $91 million higher as compared to 2020. The main contributors were the higher sales volumes, customer recoveries for higher costs of components and raw materials and positive currency effects which were partly offset by higher non quality costs, particularly relating to premium freight.
Operating Loss - Operating loss of $357 million for the full year of 2021 improved by $10 million as compared to 2020. The operating loss for 2021 includes around $30 million of merger related costs.
RD&E, net of $424 million for the full year of 2021 was $17 million higher as compared to 2020. In 2020 engineering reimbursements were around $80 million of higher than normal. Gross RD&E as percentage of sales declined by about 10pp.
SG&A expense of $159 million for the full year of 2021 improved $6 million as compared to 2020, mainly due to lower costs for professional services.
Other income and amortization of intangibles combined declined $70 million for the full year of 2021 as compared to 2020 mainly due to merger related costs and positive effects from the divestitures of Nissin Kogyo Brake Systems and Zenuity in 2020.
Net Loss - Net loss of $385 million for the full year of 2021 decreased by $159 million as compared to 2020. In 2020 the net loss was negatively impacted by the $(91) million net effect of the divestiture gain on VNBS-Asia and impairments of VBS-US and the divestiture of the Zenuity JV. In addition tax expense was $16 million lower in 2021.
Interest, net for the full year of 2021 was $(7) million as compared to 2020, mainly due to lower interest income and interest rate. Other non-operating items, net improved by $4 million, mainly due to exchange rates.
Income tax expense of $16 million for the full year of 2021 was $16 million lower as compared to 2020, when the tax expense was affected by the VNBS-Asia divestiture.
There was no Non-controlling interest transactions for the full year of 2021 as compared to $1 million for the full year of 2020.
Loss per Share - Loss per share of $3.44 for the full year of 2021 improved by $1.45 as compared to 2020. This improvement was primarily driven by the decreased operating loss and equity method investment improvement of $0.5 per share. This was offset by the merger related cost of $0.27 per share.
Cash Flow and Balance Sheet
Net cash used in operating activities - Net cash used in operating activities of $291 million for the full year of 2021 increased $99 million as compared to 2020 mainly due to the negative swing in the change in Working Capitalof around $140 million.
Net cash used in investing activities - Net cash used in investing activities of $31 million during the full year of 2021 increased by $116 million as compared to 2020 due to gains from divestitures in 2020. The negative YoY effect was partly mitigated by $31 million lower Capex.
Cash flow before financing activities1- The cash flow before financing activities of $(322) million for the full year of 2021 decreased by $215 million as compared to 2020 due divestiture proceeds in 2020.
Net Working Capital1- Net working capital of $(45) million increased by $52 million during the full year of 2021 as compared to 2020 primarily due to inventory increases stemming from the semiconductor related supply situation.
Capital Expenditures - Capital expenditures of $60 million, or 4% of sales, for the full year of 2021 decreased by $31 million as compared to 2020 mainly due to delays into 2022 due to lower LVP relating to supply chain constraints.

Supply chain constraints and COVID-19 Commentary
Veoneer is executing to minimize the impact from the supply chain constraints in semiconductors. Theses constraints and other uncertainties may continue to have an adverse effect on industry performance and our business. The effects are likely to remain at least during the first half of 2022, after which we expect a gradual recovery to take place. It is currently hard to predict the pace of the recovery. According to IHS Markit's latest estimates semiconductor related shortages reduced the 2021 global LVP by close to 10 million units. Our estimate is that the supply chain constraints impacted our sales in 2021 by around $200 million.
For 2022 and the upcoming years, the most important drivers for Veoneer's business are new customer and technology launches, which we continue to expect to drive outperformance as compared to the global LVP.
As noted in prior results announcements, in response to the pandemic, the Company continues to expand its Market Adjustment Initiatives (MAIs) program to further mitigate the impact of the pandemic on its cash flow and operating results. The COVID-19 pandemic continues to cause significant uncertainty in the global economy. This includes the automotive industry and the global LVP for 2022 and the years ahead, which are dependent on underlying consumer demand.
The health and safety of our associates continues to be our first priority, and we are taking the necessary actions to continue to protect our associates, safeguard our operations and meet our customers' needs while managing through these unprecedented circumstances.

Non-U.S. GAAP Financial Measures
Non-U.S. GAAP financial measures are reconciled throughout this report.
In this report we refer to organic sales or changes in organic sales growth, a non-U.S. GAAP financial measure that we, investors and analysts use to analyze the Company's sales trends and performance. We believe that this measure assists investors and management in analyzing trends in the Company's business because the Company generates approximately 68% of its sales in currencies other than in U.S. dollars (its reporting currency) and currency rates have been and can be rather volatile. The Company has historically made several acquisitions and divestitures, although none that impacted the reporting periods in question. Organic sales and organic sales growth represent the increase or decrease in the overall U.S. dollar net sales on a comparable basis, allowing separate discussions of the impact of acquisitions/divestitures and exchange rates on the Company's performance. The tables in this report present the reconciliation of changes in the total U.S. GAAP net sales to changes in organic sales growth.
The Company uses in this report EBITDA, a non-U.S. GAAP financial measure, which represents the Company's net income excluding interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization and including loss from equity method investment. The tables below provide reconciliations of net income (loss) to EBITDA.
The Company uses in this report net working capital, a non-U.S. GAAP financial measure, which is defined as current assets (excluding cash and cash equivalents) minus current liabilities excluding short-term debt and net assets and liabilities held for sale. The Company also uses in this report cash flow before financing activities, a non-U.S. GAAP financial measure, which is defined as net cash used in operating activities plus net cash used in investing activities. The Company also uses in this report free cash flow a non-U.S. GAAP financial measure, which is defined as net cash used in operating activities less capital expenditures. Management uses these measures to improve its ability to assess operating performance at a point in time as well as the trends over time. The tables below provide a reconciliation of current assets and liabilities to net working capital, cash flow before financing activities and free cash flow.
Investors should not consider these non-U.S. GAAP measures as substitutes, but rather as additions, to financial reporting measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. These measures, as defined, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.
Forward-looking non-U.S. GAAP financial measures used in this report are provided on a non-U.S. GAAP basis. Veoneer has not provided a U.S. GAAP reconciliation of these measures because items that impact these measures, such as foreign currency exchange rates and future investing activities, cannot be reasonably predicted or determined. As a result, such reconciliations are not available without unreasonable efforts and Veoneer is unable to determine the probable significance of the unavailable information.
