Even we are not in a position to reliably forecast further developments at present. Based on current knowledge, we assume that the material supply will remain tight in 2022 due to the high dynamics in the supplier environment.

We, too, have relied on the supply commitments of the semiconductor industry and made them the basis of our planning. In order to be able to meet the continuing high demand for SMA devices, we maintain sufficient production capacities. Due to the withdrawal, in some cases at very short notice, of deliveries already promised by the semiconductor industry, we are currently unable to fully utilize this capacity. This leads directly to production restrictions for some of our devices, although we are doing everything we can to realize some of these quantities on time. Nevertheless, from today's perspective, we will unfortunately not be able to deliver all confirmed devices on time. We are currently regenerating corresponding delivery commitments with the quantities that we can confirm. You can find more information in the protected portal area.

Of course, we have taken extensive measures to manage and cushion this supply crisis and its consequences for you in the best possible way:

• Establishment of a cross-divisional task force at top management level to continuously develop, evaluate and implement procurement, production and allocation measures.

• Close cooperation with the procurement teams of our semiconductor suppliers

• Daily escalation meetings with critical suppliers and their involved sub-suppliers at all management levels

• Focus on alternative devices and use of redesign opportunities of particularly affected series wherever possible

In addition, we are in continuous negotiations with companies in the semiconductor industry in order to achieve an increase in delivery quantities. Naturally, we will keep you closely informed about further developments.
