DGAP-Ad-hoc: Voltabox AG / Key word(s): Profit Warning/Strategic Company Decision Voltabox Earnings in 2020 Burdened by Material Expenses for Discontinued Technologies - Future Focus on Industrial Business in Europe Delbrück, Germany, July 8, 2021 - Due to extraordinary material expenses resulting from the use of discontinued technologies, Voltabox AG [ISIN DE000A2E4LE9] will report its EBITDA in its consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2020 to be approximately € 16.1 million lower than communicated on April 27, 2021. This effect is due to the utilization of old cell technologies below book value in the second half of 2020. Initially, these expenses were reported as impairment losses and were therefore not included in the EBITDA. The originally expected EBITDA of € -8.1 million - now adjusted for these cost of materials - results in an unadjusted EBITDA of € -24.2 million. In order to further stabilize the earnings situation, the Management Board has also decided to initiate a sales process for the loss-making US subsidiary Voltabox of North America, Inc. and its subsidiary Voltabox of Texas, Inc. Voltabox will therefore focus on its industrial business in Europe in the future. The company is expected to license out its business with automotive customers completely and exclusively to paragon GmbH & Co. KGaA.
