| LION E-Mobility AG / Key word(s): Quarter Results/Alliance 01.08.2024 / 18:06 CET/CEST The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement. Zug (Switzerland), August 1, 2024 – LION E-Mobility AG (LION; ISIN: CH0560888270), a leading manufacturer of battery packs for electromobility and energy storage solutions, reports on business development in the second quarter of 2024 and significant progress with the LION LIGHT Battery featuring immersion cooling technology. LION achieved revenues of 4.8 million euros in an extremely challenging market environment (Q1 2024: 1.2 million euros). EBITDA improved in Q2 2024 to -2.1 million euros (Q1 2024: -2.6 million euros). However, these financial figures are below expectations. This results from the weak battery market so far this year. Consequently, LION has adjusted its outlook for the full year 2024 and expects that sales will be partially deferred to 2025. LION expects no more than € 42million in sales in 2024 which could lead to a slightly negative EBITDA. Successful Preliminary tests of LION’s "Immersion Cooling" Technology at German Premium OEM On the technical side, LION made significant progress. The prototype of the innovative LIGHT battery with direct cell cooling ("immersion cooling") was successfully further developed. In July 2024, a German premium vehicle manufacturer conducted track tests. LION’s high-performance battery achieved outstanding results: vehicles with battery voltages of 400 and 800 Volts showed performance that was 30% above the current market standard. Dr. Joachim Damasky, CEO of LION, stated: "Even though we cannot evade the current weak market environment for battery packs, we have made a significant step towards market maturity of our high-performance batteries with immersion cooling technology. We are very proud of the excellent results of our OEM partner's first track tests and see enormous potential for our battery technology which has been many years in development." Also, the collaboration with SVOLT in battery pack manufacturing is progressing as planned. The first deliveries to customers of the prototype C-sample are expected in the fourth quarter of 2024. Grants received from State of Thuringia LION has received 1.8 million Euros in the first half of the year in grants from the State of Thuringia. The commitment reinforces the decision of LION to have production based in Thuringia. New Contract with DPDHL: Supply of Battery Modules for Delivery Vans With the conclusion of a new contract with the DPDHL Group, LION will provide battery modules as spare parts for delivery vans in the future. This contract underscores LION's commitment to long-term partnerships and confirms the company's ability to offer customized solutions for demanding customers. Sale of Stake in TÜV Süd Battery Testing Planned To focus on its core business, particularly its own immersion technology, LION has embarked on the sales process of its stake in TÜV Süd Battery Testing.
