Hans Dieltjens, Chief Executive Officer and President, commented:

"The first half of 2022 has been marked by several challenges in the automotive industry. The shortage of microchips and other supplies, the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the COVID lockdowns in China have significantly hindered OEM production. Additionally, these macroeconomic factors have exacerbated the cost increase pressures, with inflation at levels not seen since the 1990s. Despite the challenging environment, the Group delivered an adjusted EBIT margin of 5.4% and maintained a strong balance sheet position.

We continue to see the success of our Take the Turn (T(3) ) strategy to address electrification through the development of an expanded line of thermal products for greener HEV and BEV vehicles. Our FCS division, that represents the majority of our electrification business, has significantly outperformed the market by 420 basis points supported by various launches in thermal products.

In addition, we had EUR600 million of new lifetime sales business bookings for BEVs during the first six months of the year as well as significant HEV bookings.

Finally, in April 2022 the Group opened its first of five E-Mobility Innovation Centres (e-MIC) in Rastatt, Germany. These technical centres are a crucial element in providing customer support and demonstrate our ability to design, develop and manufacture an expanded line of thermal products for electric vehicle platforms, including offering increasingly modular systems.

I continue to be very grateful to our workforce for supporting the Group's many achievements during the first half of this year through their dedication, focus and hard work as the Group, along with the industry as a whole manages through a variety of difficult economic, social and geo-political challenges."

Outlook

While market uncertainties and economic risks persist, we anticipate that full year production volumes will be at, or slightly above 2021 levels, as microchip availability gradually improves, and that inflationary cost increases will continue, albeit at a slower pace. We continue to make good progress with customer negotiations for cost recoveries. As such, we expect the Group's margins to recover during H2 2022.

Based on our H1 2022 results and current view of H2 2022, we are maintaining our previously issued full year 2022 outlook guidance. We expect to achieve revenue outperformance vs GLVP, margins slightly below 2021 levels and historical levels of cash flow conversion.

Chief Executive Officer's review

Global light vehicle production volumes for H1 2022 were 1.8% below the same period in 2021. The microchip shortages, the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the China Covid-19 lockdowns are still hindering the ability of OEMs to fulfil consumer demand. These events have also led to an inflationary environment that has created significant challenges to the business.

Despite these headwinds, the Group's H1 2022 revenue increased by 2.4% at actual rates compared to H1 2021, with a roughly flat performance to market on a constant currency basis (60 bps below GLVP).

Our ability to maintain a robust revenue profile and financial performance given the ongoing issues demonstrates the Group's consistent resilience and the strength of our strategy, business model and experienced management team.

Half year 2022 performance

Global light vehicle production volume decreased by 1.8% in the first six months of 2022, compared to the first half of 2021. We delivered revenue of EUR1,559.5 million, which was an increase of 2.4% compared to the first half of 2021. At constant currency, revenue was 2.4% lower than the first half of 2021, or 60 bps below global light vehicle production.

We also continued to generate strong Adjusted EBITDA of EUR160.1 million (10.3% margin) and Adjusted EBIT of EUR83.7 million (5.4% margin). Adjusted Net Income for the period was EUR9.0 million (H1 2021: EUR45.4 million), Profit for the period was EUR0.5 million (H1 2021: EUR11.1 million), and Adjusted Free Cash Flow amounted to EUR(1.6) million (H1 2021: EUR46.3 million).

Strategy update

The Group continues to successfully implement its Take The Turn (T(3) ) Strategy which is built on our commitment, focus and dedication to designing and producing products that help make vehicles greener, the environment cleaner and the world a better place to live. We also continue to benefit from operational flexibility and our balanced and diversified customer, platform and regional profile.

We are pleased with our continued business bookings for both HEV and BEV platforms, with EUR600 million of BEV bookings in H1 2022. We are also making great progress with Korean OEMs and are increasing our business wins with Chinese OEMs. We continue to win new business awards for our advanced pressure resistant plastic fuel tank technology on HEVs.

Building on the Group's long trusted reputation as a leading fluid systems provider, we opened our first E-Mobility Innovation Centre (e-MIC) in Rastatt, Germany, where we collaborate with our OEM customers to develop new thermal products and systems that meet their needs and offer new solutions for electric vehicles.

We will continue our financial discipline on cost management and capital allocation to deliver sustainable growth and financial performance, balancing the investment of our new products with the cash generation in existing products.

Our people

Our employees, their knowledge and commitment are essential to achieve our challenging targets. The Group continues its deep engagement with employee development with a focus on inclusion. To further expand our employees' existing skills and expertise worldwide, we offer curated learning paths which will enable them to adapt to the evolving EV markets.

I remain excited about the future of the Company as the automotive industry shifts to electrified mobility.

Chief Financial Officer's Report

The first half of 2022 has been characterised by the persistent global macroeconomic headwinds arising from continued supply chain pressures in the form of cost inflation and dampened demand due to the continuing microchip shortages, plus the impact of the Ukraine situation on our European businesses. We continue to operate in a challenging environment and delivered revenue growth at actual rates. Although our margins have been impacted by the cost pressures as well as further COVID-19 related shutdowns in China, we are proud of the gains we continue to make with our cost rationalisation initiatives across the business and the progress being made on recovering the costs from our customers recognising there is timing lag due to the negotiation process.

Global light vehicle production continues to be the principal driver of the Group's performance. In the first half of 2022, global light vehicle production decreased to 38.7 million vehicles or by 1.8% compared to the prior period mainly impacted by persistent supply chain shortages, COVID-19 related shutdowns and the war in Ukraine.

Group revenue decreased by EUR37.5 million, or 2.4% period over period on a constant currency basis, to EUR1,559.5 million, underperforming global light vehicle production by (60) bps in the period. If we include the positive currency impact of EUR74.5 million, reported revenue increased by EUR37.0 million, or 2.4% period over period. For Q2 2022 revenue was EUR804.5 million (Q2 2021: EUR772.5 million) which outperformed global light vehicle production by 330 bps at constant currency.

We generated Adjusted EBIT of EUR83.7 million with a margin of 5.4%, a decrease of 300 bps from the prior period Adjusted EBIT margin. The decrease in margin is directly related to the conversion of lower volumes as well as ongoing inflationary and cost pressures which have increased our operating costs. Recovery of these costs is a priority for our management team and good progress has been made both in recovering historic amounts and also setting future prices on a sustainable basis. On a statutory basis, we achieved an operating profit of EUR48.3 million compared to EUR76.5 million in the prior period mainly due to the conversion of lower sales and the time lag on recoveries. This is discussed in more detail in the Operating Profit, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBIT section of this report.

Adjusted Net Income was EUR9.0 million compared to EUR45.4 million in the prior period. The reported profit for the half year was EUR0.5 million compared to EUR11.1 million in the corresponding half of 2021. Basic EPS was 0.10 Euro cents (H1 2021: 1.96 Euro cents) and Adjusted Basic EPS was 1.75 Euro cents, a decrease from 8.75 Euro cents in the first half of 2021. The volatile production environment had an adverse impact on working capital management and in turn our adjusted free cash flow generation, which was EUR(1.6) million compared to EUR46.3 million in H1 2021. Cash generated from operating activities was offset by cash outflows from investing and financing activities, mainly capex, lease and dividend payments, resulting in our reported cash and cash equivalent balances decreasing by EUR(53.9) million (H1 2021: EUR(32.6) million) before currency translation, and a period end cash balance of EUR457.4 million (December 2021: EUR499.1 million). We ended the period with net debt excluding the IFRS16 lease liability of EUR664.1 million (31 December 2021: EUR600.3 million).

Automotive Markets

Global light vehicle production volumes decreased by 1.8% in H1 2022 to 38.7 million vehicles as shown in table 2 - driven by the macroeconomic headwinds of high inflation, supply chain disruptions, COVID-19 related lockdowns and the war in Ukraine. Volumes decreased across all major regions except North America.

Group revenue in H1 2022 was EUR1,559.5 million, a decrease of 2.4% period over period at constant currency and when compared to the global light vehicle production decrease of 1.8% over the same period resulted in a 60 bps underperformance primarily driven by the disproportionate impact of COVID-19 lockdowns in China.

In Europe and Africa, revenue at constant currency decreased by 4.3% period over period compared to a light vehicle production decrease of 9.7%, an outperformance of 540 bps. This strong outperformance was driven by the continuing launches of new HEV/BEV programmes for both FTDS and FCS, which offset the slow ramp up of some programs as a result of the Ukraine crisis.

In Asia Pacific, revenue at constant currency decreased by 6.9% period over period compared to light vehicle production decrease of 0.2%, for an underperformance of (670) bps. This underperformance was driven by the disproportionate impact of lockdowns and higher growth of BEV volumes in China where we are under indexed.

In North America, revenue at constant currency increased by 8.0% period over period compared to light vehicle production increase of 4.7%, reflecting an outperformance of 330 bps. The main impact for this region was new business launches and programme ramp ups in the FCS division, which outperformed the market in that region by 730 bps.

FCS revenue increased by EUR20.5 million, 2.4% at constant currency from the prior period to EUR876.9 million, an outperformance of 420 bps when compared to global light vehicle production. The strong FCS revenue growth is driven by successful launches of thermal programmes in Europe and North America.

FTDS revenue at constant currency decreased by 7.8% to EUR682.6 million, underperforming global light vehicle production by (600) bps, primarily driven by higher BEV growth in Asia Pacific where there is less FTDS content, as well as ramp downs in North America. Tooling revenue was significantly lower due to delays in the timing of programme ramp ups.

Revenue increased by 2.4% to EUR1,559.5 million at actual rates due to a net positive currency exchange rate impact of EUR74.5 million compared with the prior period. This was mostly due to weakening of the Euro against the US dollar and other key currencies in countries where the Group has manufacturing operations. Table 4 below sets out the movement in exchange rates most relevant to our operations.

Operating Profit, Adjusted EBITDA* and Adjusted EBIT*

We use several financial measures to manage our business, including Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBIT, which are non-IFRS measures, but are measures of profitability that have been used consistently by the Group and give insight into the operating performance of the business. The metrics are also used in certain of our compensation plans and to communicate to our investors. Table 5 shows a reconciliation between the reported measure, operating profit, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBIT.

The operating profit of EUR48.3 million (H1 2021: EUR76.5 million) reflects the challenging operating conditions being experienced in 2022 due to inflationary pressures impacting our input costs and pricing pressures impacting recoveries. Management is making good progress on negotiating for compensation for the inflationary cost increases and also resetting purchase order prices for future business.

The restructuring and cost rationalisation programme started in 2020 continues to be implemented through 2022 and we are now starting to see the benefits across the business. We incurred further restructuring charges of EUR11.5 million in the period related to permanent headcount reductions across all our businesses and the planned closure and downsizing of manufacturing plants in Europe. During the period we have written down the assets in our Russian businesses and incurred costs of EUR6.0 million which are included in the restructuring charge. At the end of H1 2022 there was a restructuring provision of EUR9.6 million (December 2021: EUR15.8 million).

Adjusted EBITDA in the first half of the year was EUR160.1 million (H1 2021: EUR198.5 million) and Adjusted EBITDA margin was 10.3% (H1 2021: 13.0%) with the major impact being the increase in operating costs as mentioned above. We continue to see challenge in the supply chain relating to pricing pressure and inflation of input costs for metals, resin, labour and utilities.

Adjusted EBIT was EUR83.7 million (H1 2021: EUR127.8 million) and Adjusted EBIT margin was 5.4% (H1 2021: 8.4%). This change was impacted by lower Adjusted EBITDA. During the period there were programme specific impairment charges of EUR0.7 million (H1 2021: EUR1.2 million).

By segment, FCS Adjusted EBIT was EUR46.1 million compared to EUR69.6 million in H1 2021, with Adjusted EBIT margin of 5.3% (H1 2021: 8.6%). The period over period margin reduction reflects increasing inflation on metal and resin, components and labour, as well as the lag on recoveries. These impacts have offset the fixed cost savings arising from efficiency gains and restructuring benefits.

FTDS Adjusted EBIT was EUR37.6 million compared to EUR58.2 million in H1 2021, with Adjusted EBIT margin of 5.5% (H1 2021: 8.2%). The reduction in margin reflects the conversion of lower revenues in the period, as well as increased operating costs and delayed recoveries.

Net finance expense

Net finance expense for the period was EUR28.5 million, a decrease of EUR2.3 million from the prior period (excluding the exceptional write-off of unamortised issue costs in the prior period). The decrease was due to the refinancing carried out in April 2021, reflecting the more favourable terms compared to the previous debt facilities.

Taxation

The income tax charge for the first half of 2022 is EUR19.3 million based on Group profit before tax of EUR19.8 million. This period over period decrease in the tax charge of EUR5.3 million is primarily due to a significant period over period decrease in profit. However, there was also an increase in the tax charge due to the H1 2022 establishment of tax valuation allowances in Argentina, Russia and South Africa which increased the H1 2022 tax charge and Effective Tax Rate. The H1 2022 Effective Tax Rate is 97.5% (H1 2021: 55.2%) There were no significant changes to uncertain tax positions during the period.

The H1 2022 Adjusted Effective Tax Rate is 46.4% (H1 2021: 34.6%). The Adjusted Effective Tax Rate is calculated by adjusting for the impact of UK losses, the impact of the share of associate loss and the prior period tax movements.

Table 6 shows the calculation of the Effective and Adjusted Effective Tax Rates.

Adjusted Net Income was EUR9.0 million in H1 2022 compared to EUR45.4 million in H1 2021, primarily driven by the flow through of lower revenues and increased operating costs.

Basic EPS and Adjusted Basic EPS*

On a statutory basis, Basic Earnings per Share ('EPS') was 0.10 Euro cents for the period (H1 2021: 1.96 Euro cents), reflecting the reduced profit for the period. Adjusted Basic EPS calculation is based on Adjusted Net Income and the weighted average number of shares issued. Adjusted Basic EPS was 1.75 Euro cents per share for the period (H1 2021: 8.75 Euro cents per share) reflecting the decrease in Adjusted Net Income as noted above.

*See Non-IFRS measures on pages 18 to 20

Dividend

The Company's dividend policy is to target an annual dividend of approximately 30% of Adjusted Net Income, one third payable following half year results and two thirds following the Group's final results.

The Group paid a final dividend in respect of the 2021 financial year of 1.46 Euro cents per share, amounting to EUR7.5 million on 23 June 2022. The Group is committed to its stated annual dividend policy and the Board has recommended a 2022 interim dividend of 1.00 Euro cents per share, amounting to EUR5.1 million. The Board continues to believe that dividends represent an important part of the Group's shareholder value proposition and that the Company's dividend policy is both affordable and sustainable within its wider capital allocation framework.

Cash Flow performance

The Group uses Adjusted Free Cash Flow as its primary operating measure of cash flow performance.

In H1 2022, Adjusted Free Cash Flow was EUR(1.6) million (H1 2021: EUR46.3 million). The Adjusted EBITDA generated by the Group was used to fund investment in capital equipment and intangibles. There was a EUR8.7 million decrease in property, plant and equipment and intangibles expenditure. Tax cash payments were EUR2.7 million lower due to lower profits. The outflow from working capital of EUR54.4 million was driven by the increase in working capital balances due to the increased level of uncertainty leading to holding higher levels of inventory and increased receivables particularly in our China operations which suffered from sudden COVID related shutdowns and in Europe which has been impacted by short notice customer call off changes as a result of parts shortages from Ukraine. The net cash outflow on restructuring was EUR12.2 million, predominantly severance payments (H1 2021: EUR10.1 million) and included EUR1.1 million relating to the suspension of trading activities in Russia.

Cash outflows from financing were EUR37.8 million (H1 2021: EUR68.8 million), and together with free cash outflows of EUR16.1 million (H1 2021: EUR36.2 million inflows), resulted in a reported decrease in cash and cash equivalents before currency translation of EUR53.9 million (H1 2021: EUR(32.6) million). Financing outflows include purchase of own shares of EUR11.4 million (H1 2021: nil), borrowing repayments of EUR2.7 million (H1 2021: EUR17.8 million including fees), EUR16.2 million (H1 2021: EUR16.0 million) lease principal repayments and EUR7.5 million dividend payments (H1 2021: EUR35.0 million).

Retirement benefits

We operate funded and unfunded defined benefit schemes across multiple jurisdictions with the largest being the US pension and retiree healthcare schemes, which represent 57% of our net unfunded position at 30 June 2022 (H1 2021: 52%). We also have funded schemes in Germany 18% (H1 2021: 20%), UK and Canada nil% (H1 2021: 1%). While all our major plans are closed to new entrants, a few allow for future accrual. Our schemes are subject to periodic actuarial valuations. Our net unfunded position decreased by EUR19.3 million from December 2021 to EUR108.8 million at 30 June 2022 due primarily to discount rates differential period-on-period and overall pension investment performance.

Net debt* and net leverage*

Net debt, a non-IFRS measure, as at 30 June 2022 was EUR664.1 million, an increase of EUR63.8 million from the prior year end. The facilities also include a $225.0 million revolving credit facility with an undrawn amount of $223.1 million (EUR213.1 million) at 30 June 2022. Full details of the facilities are given in Note 8. Issuance fees and discounts of EUR23.0 million on the loans are carried forward for future amortisation.

The Group's net leverage ratio, also a non-IFRS measure, was 2.1 times last twelve months Adjusted EBITDA of EUR314.5 million as at 30 June 2022 (31 December 2021: 1.7 times, last twelve months Adjusted EBITDA of EUR352.9 million); the increase reflects the lower Adjusted EBITDA.

The Group excludes IFRS 16 lease liabilities from its net debt and net leverage ratio. If the IFRS 16 lease liabilities were to be included, the Group's net debt would be EUR808.8 million (31 December 2021: EUR750.2 million) and net leverage ratio would be 2.6 times Adjusted EBITDA (31 December 2021: 2.1 times).

*See Non-IFRS measures on pages 18 to 20

Liquidity and Going Concern

Our principal sources of liquidity have historically been cash generated from operating activities and amounts available under our credit facilities, that currently consist of a revolving facility under our cash flow credit agreement of $225.0 million (EUR214.9 million). Total available liquidity (cash plus available facilities) on 30 June 2022 was EUR670.5 million (31 December 2021: EUR695.3 million).

The Directors have reviewed the likely performance of the Group for the period to 31 December 2023 by reference to an outlook using the approved Budget and Medium-Term Plan, updated for actual year to date performance and current projections as a base case scenario (global light vehicle volume assumptions - 2022: 78.0 million units, 2023: 84.3 million units). The volumes used are lower than the current IHS global light vehicle production forecast of 80.8 million units for 2022 and 87.3 million units for 2023 reflecting some modelling caution and alignment with the assumptions made during our Budget and Medium-Term Plan which assumed a slower recovery to normalised production volumes in light of the continued supply chain shortages. The Directors' assessment has been made with reference to the Group's current position and prospects, the Group's existing committed finance facilities, the Group's strategy, business model and the potential impact of the principal risks and how these are managed, as detailed in the strategic report contained within the 2021 Annual Report.

In making their assessment, the Directors reviewed a base case forecast covering the period to 31 December 2023 prepared using a global light vehicle production volume forecast which takes account of the short-term challenges associated with the current supply chain issues and showed liquidity (cash plus undrawn banking facilities) of EUR804 million at the end of the review period. The base model was stress tested to assess the adverse impact of the crystallisation of the principal risks likely to have a significant financial impact in the period to December 2023. This severe but plausible downside scenario assumed:

-- A further 10% lower global production volumes in Q4 2022 and 2023 compared to the data used in the base model, volumes used - 2022: 75.9 million units, 2023: 75.9 million units, (Risk: Global Light Vehicle production volumes)

-- 10% increase in direct costs caused by inflationary pressures (commodities and energy costs), environmental strategy implementation costs and customer price reduction pressures from schedule changes (Risk: Competition and Customer Pricing Pressure, and Business Continuity)

-- A further 0.5% sales price reduction in addition to reduction already assumed in the base case (Risk: Competition and Customer Pricing Pressure)

   --     EUR25 million additional annual supply chain disruption costs (Risk: Business Continuity) 

The other principal risks were not considered to have a significant sustained financial impact.

The impact of the severe but plausible downside scenario would be to reduce available liquidity as per the base case to EUR523 million at the end of the review period, EUR281 million lower than the base case. In both the base case and the severe but plausible downside scenario, no breach of covenant is projected for the review period.

A reverse stress test was performed to determine the level of global light vehicle production which would extinguish all cash. It was found that even a 100% volume reduction from October 2022 through 2023 compared to the base case (volumes used - 2022: 58.0 million units, 2023: 0 units) would not use up the existing cash, and the $225 million revolving credit facility would not be utilised. This contrasts with the 2020 global light vehicle production low of 74.6 million, a drop of 16.1% to compared to 2019. As a result, the Directors do not believe that a catastrophic 100% volume drop in 2023 is likely and therefore do not regard this as a probable outcome.

The current banking facilities were also considered and specifically the available headroom under the downside scenario and their availability during the review period as well as any associated covenants. The downside model showed the availability of significant liquidity headroom without use of the revolving credit facility. The only covenant measure that exists is a leverage ratio which must be below 3.8x Adjusted EBITDA when the revolving facility is drawn over 35%, there were no covenant breaches in the review period.

The Directors have concluded after reviewing the future funding requirements for the Group over the period to the end of 2023 by reference to the headroom on the committed banking facilities and the expected performance of the Group, that it is appropriate for the financial statements to be prepared on a going concern basis with no material uncertainties.

Principal Risks and Uncertainties

The executive management and Directors have considered the principal risks and uncertainties of the Group and have determined, on balance, that those reported in the 2021 Annual Report and Accounts remain relevant for the remaining half of the financial year. Current operating challenges from volatile customer production volumes and supply chain disruptions in the automotive industry are not thought to represent prolonged long-term risks though they will persist into the second half and into 2023. In addition, the Directors noted that the increasing inflationary pressure on our input costs has posed, and will continue to pose, challenges on the business in the short and potentially medium term. An associated risk is our ability to recover increased costs from the customers as the supply chain rebalances over the short and medium term. In the first half of 2022, we have been able to recover part of the cost increases from the customers and realign prices accordingly, but the challenge of inflationary pressure will continue, requiring careful management.

Furthermore, the Directors noted a potential risk with regard to energy availability (in particular natural gas) as a result of recent political and economic tensions within Europe following Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The macro environment is still evolving, and the Company is assessing the potential exposure and mitigation.

The Directors continue to monitor and consider the current COVID-19 landscape and related risks stemming from the pandemic as well as reviewing the developing risks identified in our 2021 Annual Report - product portfolio redundancies, technological obsolescence, product pivoting, climate change and increasing geopolitical tensions and conflict. We continue to believe that these do not represent separate new principal risks and uncertainties at this time.

Details of the Group's Principal Risks and Uncertainties are available in the 2021 Annual Report and Accounts available on our website www.tifluidsystems.com.

Outlook

While market uncertainties and economic risks persist, we anticipate that full year production volumes will be at, or slightly above 2021 levels, as microchip availability gradually improves, and that inflationary cost increases will continue, albeit at a slower pace. We continue to make good progress with customer negotiations for cost recoveries. As such, we expect the Group's margins to recover during H2 2022.

Based on our H1 2022 results and current view of H2 2022, we are maintaining our previously issued full year 2022 outlook guidance. We expect to achieve revenue outperformance vs GLVP, margins slightly below 2021 levels and historical levels of cash flow conversion.

Non-IFRS measures

In addition to the results reported under IFRS, we use certain non-IFRS financial measures to monitor and measure performance of our business and operations and the profitability of our Divisions. Such measures are also utilised by the Board as targets in determining compensation of certain executives and key members of management, as well as in our communications with investors. In particular, we use Adjusted EBIT, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Basic EPS, Adjusted Free Cash Flow, Constant Currency, Net Debt and Adjusted Effective Tax Rate. These non-IFRS measures are not recognised measurements of financial performance or liquidity under IFRS, and should be viewed as supplemental and not replacements or substitutes for any IFRS measures.

EBITDA is defined as profit or loss before tax, net finance expense, depreciation, amortisation and impairment of tangible and intangible assets, and share of associate profits or losses.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA adjusted for exceptional operating costs, net foreign exchange gains/(losses), net restructuring charges, share of associate profits or losses, associate dividends received and the impact of any business acquisitions or disposals.

Adjusted EBIT is defined as Adjusted EBITDA less depreciation, amortisation and non-exceptional impairment on tangible and intangible assets (except those included in restructuring costs) net of depreciation and amortisation on purchase price accounting.

Constant currency refers to the statement of prior period results at current exchange rates to eliminate fluctuations in translation rates and achieve a like for like comparison.

Revenue outperformance/underperformance is defined as the change in revenue at constant currency compared to the change in global light vehicle production volumes.

Operating profit margin is defined as operating profit expressed as a percentage of revenue.

Adjusted Net Income is defined as Profit or Loss for the period attributable to the ordinary shareholders before exceptional items adjusted to reflect associate dividends received and eliminate the impact of net restructuring charges, foreign exchange gains or losses and the impact of any business acquisitions or disposals.

Adjusted Basic EPS is defined as Adjusted Net Income divided by the weighted average number of shares in issue in the period.

Free Cash Flow is defined as the total of net cash generated from operating activities and net cash used by investing activities.

Adjusted Free Cash Flow is defined as Free Cash Flow adjusted for cash movements in financial assets at fair value through profit or loss ('FVTPL'), net cash flows relating to restructuring, settlement of derivatives and the impact of any business acquisitions or disposals. The restructuring cash adjustment is made to align the treatment of restructuring with the other adjusted measures.

Adjusted Income Tax before Exceptional items is defined as income tax before exceptional items adjusted for the tax impact of prior period tax provisions and adjustments, UK accounting losses and tax arising on the impact of any business acquisitions or disposals.

Adjusted Profit before Income Tax is defined as profit before income tax adjusted for UK losses, share of associate loss, and the impact of any business acquisitions or disposals.

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these condensed consolidated interim financial statements are the same as those applied in the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2021.

   1.1.         Basis of Preparation 

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis. They do not constitute statutory accounts within the meaning of section 434 of the Companies Act 2006. Statutory accounts for the year ended 31 December 2021 have been filed with the Registrar of Companies. The report of the auditors on those accounts was unqualified, did not contain an emphasis of matter paragraph and did not contain any statement under section 498 of the Companies Act 2006. These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been reviewed, not audited.

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 'Interim Financial Reporting', as adopted by the United Kingdom and the Disclosure and Transparency Rules of the Financial Conduct Authority. These condensed consolidated interim financial statements need to be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2021.

1.2. New and Revised IFRS Affecting Amounts Reported in the Current Period (and/or Prior Periods)

There are no new standards or IFRS IC interpretations effective in the period that have a material impact on the Group.

   1.3.         Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements 

The preparation of financial statements requires the use of accounting estimates and for management to exercise judgement in applying the Group's accounting policies. Assumptions and accounting estimates are subject to regular review, governed by Group-wide policies and controls. Any revisions required to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the revisions are made including all future periods affected.

The judgement and estimates that have the most significant and critical effect on the amounts included in the financial statements are in relation to post-employment obligations and impairments of assets as described below.

1.3.1 Critical Accounting Estimates

Details of the Group's critical accounting estimates around post-employment obligations can be found in Note 1.4.1.1 of the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2021.

1.3.2 Critical Accounting Judgements

1.3.2.1 Impairments of assets

Management carry out the annual impairment review on the Group's intangible and tangible assets as at 31 December, which involves judgement in determining the assets' recoverable amount (as outlined in the 2021 Annual Report and Accounts). At interim reporting, Management performed a review for any indicators of impairment, as an update to the impairment review performed as part of the 2021 year-end process. Further discussion on this assessment is included within Note 7.

2. Segment Reporting

In accordance with the provisions of IFRS 8 'Operating Segments', the Group's segment reporting is based on the management approach with regard to segment identification; under which information regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker ('CODM') for decision-making purposes forms the basis of the disclosure. The Company's CODM is the Chief Executive Officer ('CEO'), the Chief Operating Officer and the Chief Financial Officer. The CODM evaluates the performance of the Company's segments primarily on the basis of revenue, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBIT.

Two operating segments have been identified by the Group: Fluid Carrying Systems ('FCS') and Fuel Tank and Delivery Systems ('FTDS').

Exceptional finance expenses in the prior period of EUR11.6 million relate to a release of unamortised transaction costs following a partial extinguishment of the Group's Euro and US dollar term loans.

4. Income Tax

The income tax expense for the period ending 30 June 2022 has been recognised based on Management's estimate of the annual effective tax rate of each legal entity (or tax group within a country), considering any projected permanent tax adjustments and tax credits that are available, multiplied by the applicable statutory tax rate for each country. The annual estimated effective tax rates are applied to the first half profits / losses of each legal entity or tax group to determine the overall Group tax charge for the period.

This has resulted in an ordinary effective tax rate of 97.5% for the half year ended 30 June 2022 (55.2% for the half year ended 30 June 2021). The effective tax rate is impacted by UK accounting losses of EUR22.2 million for the half year ended 30 June 2022 (EUR26.3 million for the half year ended 30 June 2021). This is not tax effected due to the projected and historical tax loss position in the UK and therefore has a material impact on the effective tax rate for both periods.

The UK accounting losses incurred to 30 June 2022 are due to net interest and financing expense in the amount of EUR6.6 million (30 June 2021: EUR10.8 million) and net foreign exchange gains of EUR(6.1) million (30 June 2021: net foreign exchange loss of EUR4.7 million) due to movements in the US dollar and Euro exchange rates related to US dollar denominated intercompany loans. It also includes other operating expenses of EUR21.7 million (30 June 2021: EUR10.8 million).

When the UK accounting losses of EUR22.2 million for the half year ended 30 June 2022 (EUR26.3 million loss for the half year ended 30 June 2021), the share of the associates loss (H1 2021 only) and the prior period tax adjustments are not considered, the effective tax rate is adjusted to 46.4% for the half year to 30 June 2022 (34.6% for the half year ended 30 June 2021).

The effective tax rate was also impacted by the establishment of tax valuation allowances in Argentina, Russia and South Africa which increased the tax charge and Effective Tax Rate for the period ended 30 June 2022.

Exceptional Charge / Tax Benefit:

During April 2021, the Group debt was refinanced which resulted in the write-off of a portion of the US related loan fees from prior refinancing transactions. This resulted in an exceptional US refinancing charge of EUR11.6 million and a tax benefit of EUR2.8 million for the half year ended 30 June 2021. The exceptional tax benefit of EUR2.8 million resulted in an effective tax rate of approximately 24% representing the blended US Federal and various State effective tax rates. There was no similar exceptional tax charge / benefit in the six months to 30 June 2022.

The table below analyses the constituent elements of the Group income tax charge. It separately identifies the tax charges recognised in respect of i) entities that ordinarily pay tax or where the recognition of deferred tax assets is appropriate, ii) the impact of entities where the level of tax losses limits the payment of tax or restricts the deferred tax recognition in respect of the losses, iii) the impact of withholding taxes suffered and tax charges recognised in respect of unremitted overseas distributable reserves and iv) the impact of purchase accounting adjustments.

Deferred tax assets originating from tax loss carry forwards mainly relate to Germany, France and Spain as at 30 June 2022. Forecasts for Germany, France and Spain are prepared by management on a five year basis and use external automotive industry data sources. The forecasts demonstrate several years of continued future profitability and all have consistent expectations of future financial performance. As a result management believe that the current tax losses will be utilised.

6. Property, Plant and Equipment ("PP&E")

During the period the Group made PP&E additions of EUR32.3 million (2021 full year: EUR87.7 million). Assets with a carrying value of EUR4.2 million (2021 full year: EUR5.6 million) were disposed/impaired during the period.

7. Intangible Assets and I mpairments

Following on from the 2021 annual impairment assessment, Management performed a review for indicators of impairment and reversal of previous impairments as at 30 June 2022 for each cash generating unit (CGU). This review involved assessing factors such as: external forecast global light vehicle production volumes (IHS Markit); supply chain issues stemming from the war in Ukraine; inflationary pressures on input prices and energy costs, and the ability to pass these on to customers; global interruptions of supply of semiconductor chips; and possible changes to the underlying CGU discount rates used in the calculation of recoverable amount.

Having performed this review, Management concluded that the factors considered currently do not sufficiently indicate a long-term deterioration to the Group's business and profitability to trigger a formal impairment review at 30 June 2022, following on from the full impairment review performed as part of the 2021 year-end close. Management will continue to monitor the various events and factors for the remainder of 2022. The next annual full impairment review will be performed as at 31 December 2022.

Management will therefore continue to monitor the potential triggers for the remainder of 2022. During the fourth quarter of 2022, the Group will prepare its full annual budget and medium-term plan, utilising latest volume forecasts and full market analysis covering the period 2023 to 2027. This will form the basis for the 2022 annual impairment test.

----------------------------  ---------  ----------- 
Main borrowing facilities       1,121.7      1,100.3 
----------------------------  ---------  ----------- 
 

The unsecured senior notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 3.75% per annum and mature on 15 April 2029. Interest on the notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on April 15 and October 15 of each year.

The US dollar term loan bears interest at US dollar three-month LIBOR (minimum 0.5% p.a.) +3.25% p.a. The amount repayable per quarter on the loan is $750,000 a quarter until the final balance falls due on 16 December 2026. The principal outstanding on the US term loan in US dollars at 30 June 2022 is $296.3 million (31 December 2021: $297.8 million).

The Euro term loan bears interest at three-month EURIBOR (minimum 0.0% p.a.) +3.25% p.a. The amount repayable per quarter on the loan is EUR662,500 a quarter until the final balance falls due on 16 December 2026.

The Group also has access to a revolving credit facility ('RCF') of $225.0 million (31 December 2021: $225.0 million) which matures on 16 July 2026. Drawings under this facility bear interest in a range of US dollar LIBOR +3.0% to US dollar LIBOR + 3.75% p.a. depending on the Group's total net leverage ratio . The facility is available to be used to issue letters of credit on behalf of TI Group Automotive Systems LLC, a subsidiary undertaking. The facility was undrawn during the period except for letters of credit outstanding of $1.9 million (31 December 2021: $1.9 million), resulting in a net undrawn facility at 30 June 2022 of $223.1 million (EUR213.1 million) (31 December 2021: $223.1 million; EUR196.2 million). The non-utilisation fee on the facility is 0.25% p.a. In the event the total net leverage ratio is greater than 3.5:1, the non-utilisation fee will increase to 0.375% p.a.

The unsecured senior notes are quoted instruments and the fair value is calculated based on the market price. The fair value of the notes is within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy specified in IFRS 13 'Fair Value Measurement'.

The fair values of non-derivative amounts are determined in accordance with generally accepted valuation techniques based on discounted cash flow analysis. It is assumed that by their nature their carrying value approximates their fair value. These fair values are within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy specified in IFRS 13 'Fair Value Measurement'.

At 30 June 2022, the Group reviewed the discount rates relating to the retirement benefit obligations. For US pension obligations the discount rate was determined to be 4.70% (2.80% at 31 December 2021), the impact of which was to reduce the present value of retirement benefit obligations by EUR34.3 million. Overall pension asset performance for the US pension in the same period reduced the fair value of plan assets by EUR31.7 million. The overall decrease in the net US pension liability as a result of these two impacts was EUR2.6million.

For other funded pension obligations the discount rate was determined to be 4.0% (2.12% at 31 December 2021) the impact of which was to reduce the present value of retirement benefit obligations by EUR37.4 million. Overall pension asset performance for the other pensions in the same period reduced the fair value of plan assets by EUR31.4 million. With the increase of the net surplus, the asset ceiling has been applied, resulting in an overall decrease in the net other funded pension liability of EUR0.5 million.

The decrease/(increase) in the total retirement benefit obligations due to a +50bp/-50bp change in the discount rate is EUR21.0 million/(EUR23.1 million) for all plans combined.

The changes in working capital (movements in inventories, trade and other receivables and trade and other payables) exclude a number of non-cash transactions. The most significant of these arises from movements due to changes in foreign exchange rates, on translation of the Group's overseas operations into the Group's presentation currency, Euro.

Independent review report to TI Fluid Systems plc

Report on the condensed consolidated interim financial statements

Our conclusion

We have reviewed TI Fluid Systems plc's condensed consolidated interim financial statements (the "interim financial statements") in the Half Year Results 2022 of TI Fluid Systems plc for the 6 month period ended 30 June 2022 (the "period").

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim financial statements are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with UK adopted International Accounting Standard 34, 'Interim Financial Reporting' and the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules sourcebook of the United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority.

The interim financial statements comprise:

   --   the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as at 30 June 2022; 

-- the Condensed Consolidated Income Statement and Condensed Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income for the period then ended;

   --   the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the period then ended; 
   --   the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity for the period then ended; and 
   --   the explanatory notes to the interim financial statements. 

The interim financial statements included in the Half Year Results 2022 of TI Fluid Systems plc have been prepared in accordance with UK adopted International Accounting Standard 34, 'Interim Financial Reporting' and the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules sourcebook of the United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority.

Basis for conclusion

We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements (UK) 2410, 'Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity' issued by the Financial Reporting Council for use in the United Kingdom. A review of interim financial information consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures.

A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) and, consequently, does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

We have read the other information contained in the Half Year Results 2022 and considered whether it contains any apparent misstatements or material inconsistencies with the information in the interim financial statements.

Conclusions relating to going concern

Based on our review procedures, which are less extensive than those performed in an audit as described in the Basis for conclusion section of this report, nothing has come to our attention to suggest that the directors have inappropriately adopted the going concern basis of accounting or that the directors have identified material uncertainties relating to going concern that are not appropriately disclosed. This conclusion is based on the review procedures performed in accordance with this ISRE. However, future events or conditions may cause the group to cease to continue as a going concern.

Responsibilities for the interim financial statements and the review

Our responsibilities and those of the directors

The Half Year Results 2022, including the interim financial statements, is the responsibility of, and has been approved by the directors. The directors are responsible for preparing the Half Year Results 2022 in accordance with the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules sourcebook of the United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority. In preparing the Half Year Results 2022, including the interim financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the group's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the group or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the interim financial statements in the Half Year Results 2022 based on our review. Our conclusion, including our Conclusions relating to going concern, is based on procedures that are less extensive than audit procedures, as described in the Basis for conclusion paragraph of this report. This report, including the conclusion, has been prepared for and only for the company for the purpose of complying with the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules sourcebook of the United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority and for no other purpose. We do not, in giving this conclusion, accept or assume responsibility for any other purpose or to any other person to whom this report is shown or into whose hands it may come save where expressly agreed by our prior consent in writing.
