Press release

July 22, 2022

Intensifying challenges

• Order intake and revenue growth affected by China market contraction and COVID-related lockdowns
• Profit development burdened by cost inflation, semiconductor shortage, supply chain issues, and restructuring costs, exacerbated by lockdowns in China
• Sharpened focus on increasing prices to offset inflation, streamlining product offering, anddriving efficiency
• Order backlog reaching the 10-billion milestone
• Further changes to the Group Executive Committee
• 2040 net-zero emission targets approved by the Science Based Targets initiative

In the first six months of 2022, Schindler's business continued to be under pressure, ­ particularly due to the slowdown of the Chinese economy, COVID-related lockdowns, ­persistent ­supply chain ­disruptions, and steep inflation. Order intake rose by 3.0% to CHF 6 227 million

and revenue­ decreased by 2.4% to CHF 5 345 million, while operating profit dropped to CHF 403 ­million, corresponding to an EBIT margin of 7.5% (EBIT adjusted 8.7%). Net profit amounted to CHF 296 ­million, and cash flow from operating activities reached CHF 299 million.

"We continue to face a unique mix of challenges, unprecedented in their magnitude and complexity. The supply chain issues combined with the aggravated situation in China and sharply rising inflation have been weighing on our results in the first six months of the year," said Silvio Napoli, Schindler's Chairman and CEO. "The performance and profitability enhancing measures we have been accelerating since February are starting to yield benefits. Their full impact, however, will take time to flow through the execution of our growing order backlog."

Order intake and order backlog

Order intake rose by 3.0% to CHF 6 227 million in the first half of 2022 (previous year: CHF 6 043 million), corresponding to an increase of 4.0% in local currencies. The Americas and EMEA regions recorded positive growth, while Asia-Pacific suffered from the significant contraction of the Chinese new installations market.

As a result, New Installations overall recorded a decline, which was offset by growth in Maintenance and by an uptake in Modernization and Repairs orders.

In the second quarter of 2022, the growth momentum receded, with order intake reaching CHF 3 063 million (second quarter of 2021: CHF 3 106 million), corresponding to a decline of 1.4%, or 0.6% in local currencies.

As of June 30, 2022, order backlog increased by 6.6% to CHF 10 257 million (previous year: CHF 9 623 million). In local currencies, the order backlog rose by 8.3%.

Revenue

In the first half of 2022, revenue reached CHF 5 345 million (previous year: CHF 5 475 million), for a drop of 2.4% (-1.5% in local currencies). The increase in the EMEA and Americas regions was offset by a decline in the Asia-Pacific region, where COVID-related lockdowns in China heavily affected the economy and supply chains.

In the second quarter of 2022, revenue decreased by 5.6% to CHF 2 713 million (previous year: CHF 2 873 million), corresponding to a drop of 4.6% in local currencies.

Operating profit (EBIT)

As a result of declining top-line growth, cost inflation, semiconductor shortage, supply chain issues, and restructuring costs, operating profit dropped in the first half to CHF 403 million (previous year: CHF 607 million). The EBIT margin reached 7.5% (previous year: 11.1%).

EBIT adjusted reached CHF 466 million with a margin of 8.7% (previous year: CHF 638 million; 11.7%).

In the second quarter of 2022, operating profit amounted to CHF 192 million (previous year: CHF 319 million).

The EBIT margin was 7.1% (previous year: 11.1%). The adjusted EBIT margin reached 8.5% (previous year: 11.7%).

Net profit and cash flow from operating activities

Net profit totaled CHF 296 million (previous year: CHF 455 million) for the first half of 2022. Cash flow from

operating activities reached CHF 299 million (previous year: CHF 721 million), due to lower operating profit and increased net working capital requirements.

Changes to the Group Executive Committee

Urs Scheidegger, CFO, will leave the Group Executive Committee to become Chief Risk Officer, effective September 1, 2022. In his new position he will report to the Supervisory and Strategy Committee.

He will be succeeded by Carla De Geyseleer, who will join the Group Executive Committee as CFO, effective September 1, 2022.

Commitment to 2040 net-zero greenhouse gas emissions

With the release of the 2021 Corporate Responsibility report in June, Schindler announced its commitment to reaching net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2040. This resolve was validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), the global body that supports companies setting emissions reduction targets in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement. To date, Schindler is one of the very few companies that have committed to reach net-zero across the value chain by 2040, out of more than 3 300 companies that have committed to set themselves science-based targets.

The 2021 Corporate Responsibility report illustrates the many ways in which Schindler works with customers to help them meet their own climate targets and engages with other players in the construction and real estate ecosystem to drive meaningful change. Schindler's 2021 Corporate Responsibility report is the tenth published to date.

Outlook for 2022

Schindler anticipates the slowing growth momentum to continue. In addition, cost inflation, persistent foreign exchange pressure, construction site delays, and supply chain issues are expected to impact our business negatively. Assuming no further lockdowns and no other unexpected events, Schindler foresees revenue growth of -2% to +2% in local currencies and net profit between CHF 620 million and CHF 660 million for full year 2022.
