Zug (Switzerland), 14.12.2023 – LION E-Mobility AG (LION; Symbol: LMIA), today publishes the consolidated Q3 financials and updates its FY 2023 guidance.

• Guidance update (EUR >55m) underpinned by strong Q4 sales development
• EBITDA positive after 9M, despite extraordinary costs borne this year
• 9M ’23 revenues below 9M ’22 due to destocking and production ramp-up
• Further achievements with immersion cooling development
• Appointment of new CEO to be announced soon
• Increased focus on IR activities

Guidance Within the Previously Communicated Range, Driven by Strong Q4 Sales Development

LION is pleased to provide more specific guidance, with expectations now surpassing just over EUR 55 million for the current fiscal year. This outlook is supported by robust sales developments in Q4 so far, and the remaining shipments to be completed by year end.

The graph below illustrates the visibility of the full year results.

EBITDA Positive After 9M Despite Extraordinary Costs

Despite facing extraordinary costs throughout the year, LION once again managed to operate reaching EBITDA positivity after nine months. This accomplishment underscores the company’s commitment to financial sustainability and operational efficiency.

9M ’23 Revenues Reflect Destocking and Production Ramp-Up

While 9M ’23 revenues are below the figures recorded in the same period last year, this is mainly attributed to the pull-forward effect LION saw last year in light of the takeover of the production from BMW paired with the destocking in Q1 and Q2 before we ramped-up the production starting in May.

Advancements in Immersion Cooling Development

The company continues to make strides with the immersion cooling development, showcasing the company’s dedication to product innovation. The most recent progress in this area is based on functional prototypes successfully tested by a large OEM.

New CEO Appointment Expected Soon

LION’s Board is in encouraging talks with a candidate that will bring in a wealth of experience and fresh perspectives to guide the company through its next phase of growth and development.

Increased Focus on Investor Relations Activities

Recognizing the importance of transparent communication with stakeholders, LION is intensifying its focus on Investor Relations activities. This initiative aims to strengthen relationships with investors and provide them with comprehensive insights into the company’s strategy, performance, and future outlook. While the company has initiated the first steps such as group consolidated reporting on a regular basis as of today LION acknowledges there’s additional room for improvement. The company will release the new IR deck on Friday and will have a new IR website in Q1 2024. LION is preparing for a more comprehensive capital market day providing strategic updates on LION in Q1 2024.

LION remains optimistic about its positioning in the market and the potential for continued success. The company looks forward to updating stakeholders on further developments in the coming months.
