According to a report by researcher Markets and Markets, the global market for electric commercial vehicles is projected to grow from 353,000 units in 2022 to 3.14 million units in 2030, registering an annual growth rate of 31.4 percent. “Samsung SDI has made efforts to provide specialized battery solutions for commercial vehicles with differentiated technologies and best quality,” said Executive Vice President Michael Son in charge of strategic marketing for the Automotive and ESS Business at Samsung SDI. “The latest exhibition would provide chances to check out the company’s technological competitiveness, product quality and vision for a new era of electric vehicles.” SDI News Samsung SDI Announces Third Quarter 2022 Results Posts re.. Samsung SDI Announces Third Quarter 2022 ResultsPosts record quarterly revenue, operating profit □ [Q3] Quarterly revenue of KRW 5.37 trillion, operating profit at KRW 565.9 billion- Energy businesses post 10% in operating margin- Accumulated earnings as of Q3 surpass 2021 figure □ [Q4] Electric vehicle battery sales to rise upon launches of new vehicles and seasonal demand hike □ Third quarter earnings results Samsung SDI today reported financial results for the third quarter that ended September 30, 2022. The Company posted a record revenue of KRW 5.37 trillion and operating profit of KRW 565.9 billion. While both quarterly revenue and operating profit reported historical highs, it was the first time for the Company to exceed the 5 trillion mark in revenue and 500 billion in operating profit for a quarter. In addition, the Company’s Energy Business recorded a double-digit figure in operating margin. From a year earlier, the quarterly revenue and operating profit grew by KRW 1.93 trillion (56.1%) and KRW 192.4 billion (51.5%), respectively. From a quarter earlier, the revenue expanded by KRW 627.2 billion (13.2%), and the operating profit by KRW 136.9 billion (31.9%). As a result, Samsung SDI achieved a feat of surpassing the previous year’s record in accumulated earnings as of the third quarter. Such result is attributable to the Company’s qualitative growth strategy that prioritizes profitability, despite rises in raw material prices amid the global economic downturn and inflation. □ Third quarter earnings results by Business The Company’s energy businesses posted KRW 4.83 trillion in the revenue, up by 76.4% year-on-year and by 18.7% quarter-on-quarter. The operating profit it produced was KRW 484.8 billion, which is up 140.2% from a year earlier and 98.0% from the second quarter, with the operating margin at 10.0%. Huge improvement in the results of the Large-Sized Lithium-Ion Battery (LIB) Business stood out compared to the previous quarter. The Automotive Battery Business recorded an increased revenue and higher profitability by expanding the sales of high-value products such as P5 (Gen.5) amid solid demand for high-end electric vehicles. The ESS Business saw improved profitability as ASP was indexed with the price escalation of raw materials and the sales grew in Europe. As for the Small-Sized LIB Business, the increased revenue was pushed by high-value products which resulted in improved profitability. Revenue growth of cylindrical batteries for electric vehicles (EV) applications and high-voltage power tools was the driver for the improved results. The Electronic Materials (EM) Business saw a decline in both sales and profits compared to the previous quarter due to low end-product demand. The revenue posted was KRW 534 billion, a year-on-year 23.6% and a quarter-on-quarter 20.2% decrease, respectively. The operating profit was KRW 81.1 billion, down by 52.8% from the same time last year and by 55.9% from the second quarter this year. Amid the difficult market situation with low end-product (i.e. TVs) demand that led to the lower revenue in polarizers, the EM Business maintained sound profitability secured by the initiation of OLED materials supply for new platforms and the revenue increase in semiconductor materials. □ Business outlook for the fourth quarterSamsung SDI expects to continue its growth into the fourth quarter. The Large-Sized LIB Business is expected to expand its sales as the fourth quarter usually embraces the strong market demand. The Automotive Battery Business is forecasting a sales increase driven by launch of new vehicle models with P5 (Gen.5) built in as well as by such seasonal demand hike. The efforts to win projects for the next generation platforms – P6 (Gen. 6) and 46Φ batteries – will continue in the coming months. The sales of the ESS Business is expected to be higher with the expansion of utility sales in the US. The Small-Sized LIB Business expects its sales to go up, propelled by sales expanding in cylindrical batteries for EV applications. Seeking long-term supply agreements for cylindrical batteries for power tools will play a role in minimizing the impact of slowing demand whereas new product application casts a positive outlook for pouch batteries for IT devices. In the fourth quarter, the EM Business is looking forward to expanding the sales focused on display materials. The sales of OLED materials is likely to grow with mass production initiated for new platforms and a similar scenario goes for semiconductor materials with solid sales thanks to major customers’ capacity ramp-ups. As for polarizers, the EM Business expects both the sales and profitability to improve quarter-over-quarter as there are multiple factors playing for the business such as launch of new TV models next year, development of high-value products, and potential supply of polarizers for OLED displays, as well as its ongoing strategy of diversifying its customer portfolio. □ ESG management activities Samsung SDI is proactively engaged in ESG management activities. In September, the Company joined the RE100 initiative, a global voluntary initiative to replenish 100 percent of corporate electricity consumption with renewable energy by 2050. In early October, the Company declared environment-friendly management in a public announcement. It announced a package of strategies, including eight specific tasks under two themes - response to climate change and resource circularity. As part of the efforts, the Company has decided to increase recovery of key resources, such as cobalt, nickel and lithium, through battery recycling, while replacing all of its corporate vehicles to zero-emission cars. Besides the eight tasks, the Company will continue to discover and execute new projects to fulfill its ESG goals. “The Company once again recorded the largest-ever earnings amid the persisting concerns over rising raw materials prices and languishing demand, thanks to the efforts made by Samsung SDI’s employees and executives,” said President and CEO YOONHO CHOI. “To realize the vision of becoming a Global Top Tier Company by 2030, the Company will accelerate efforts to achieve ‘super-gap technology competitiveness,’ ‘best quality,’ and ‘profitable qualitative growth’ and fulfill corporate social responsibilities through eco-friendly management at the same time.” SDI News Samsung SDI Declares Environment-Friendly Management .. Samsung SDI Declares Environment-Friendly ManagementCompany announces 8 strategic tasks under 2 themes □ Joins RE100, makes efforts to cut greenhouse gas emissions to tackle climate change □ Maximizes efforts to extend resource circularity to lead the eco-friendly ecosystem □ CEO YOONHO CHOI emphasizes “Environment-friendly management is a necessary corporate social responsibility for future generations and key competitiveness of business” Samsung SDI has declared environment-friendly management in a bid to join global efforts to overcome the climate crisis with awareness of the current crisis’ severity as a global eco-friendly energy and materials business. Samsung SDI today announced a package of environmental management strategies, including eight specific tasks under two themes - response to climate change and resource circularity - with an aim to reach net zero carbon emissions by 2050. Since inauguration of President and CEO YOONHO CHOI early this year, the company has set its vision for becoming a Global Top Tier Company by 2030, and announced ESG management as one of key strategies along with ‘super-gap technology competitiveness,’ ‘best quality,’ and ‘profitable growth’ to realize the vision. ① Efforts in response to climate change □ Use renewable energy for all operations… Joins RE100 Samsung SDI has decided to use renewable energy across all of its workplaces by 2050. The company’s operations in Hungary, China (Tianjin) and Malaysia will take the lead in increasing the proportion of renewable energy use. The measures to expand renewable energy usage include purchasing renewable energy certificates, introducing Green Premium, signing power purchase agreements and installing photovoltaic power generation systems within workplaces. Among others, Samsung SDI recently joined RE100. RE100 is a voluntary initiative to replenish 100% of corporate electricity consumption with renewable energy, such as wind and solar power, by 2050. Multicultural non-profit organizations The Climate Group and Carbon Disclosure Project oversee the initiative. Companies with annual electricity demand of at least 100GWh are eligible for the initiative. * The Climate Group: Multicultural non-profit organization based in London* CDP(Carbon Disclosure Project): Non-profit organization that evaluates corporate responses to disclosure of information on greenhouse gas emissions and other energy issues □ Reduce greenhouse gas emissions For Samsung SDI, a major source of its direct carbon emissions is the liquefied natural gas (LNG) that is used for boiler and incineration facilities – for dry rooms during the battery manufacturing process and prevention of air pollution, respectively. Samsung SDI plans to replace LNG-powered boilers with electric boilers and reduce the amount of dehumidifier steam used in dry rooms in order to cut emissions. Incineration facilities will be replaced with LNG-free absorption equipment. The company also aims to lower the level of LNG consumption per 100 million won sales by recovering or recycling waste heat produced from manufacturing processes by 2050. □ Expand introduction of Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) The European Union is expected to legislate a regulatory framework on batteries to reach its goals of net zero carbon emissions and sustainable batteries. If the regulation comes into effect, EU nations would mandate disclosure of carbon footprint of battery products and product ratings by emissions. This would ultimately regulate emissions. In response to the expected policies, Samsung SDI plans to enhance internal capabilities to calculate product carbon footprint and reduce the total carbon emissions from the entire process of battery manufacturing from preparation to disposal in order to expand products with PCF labels. * Carbon footprint: The total amount of carbon emissions generated from the entire lifecycle of a product from manufacturing, distribution, consumption to disposal □ Replace all corporate vehicles with zero-emission vehicles Samsung SDI has decided to replace all of its corporate vehicles, including leased ones, with electric vehicles, and continue to expand charging infrastructure. In 2019, the company adopted electric buses as commuter buses for its Giheung headquarters. It also established EV charging infrastructure at all domestic workplaces. Last year, Samsung SDI joined K-EV 100, a project run by the Ministry of Environment to supply non-polluting vehicles. * K-EV 100: A project by the Korean Ministry of Environment to have private companies switch to non-polluting vehicles by 2030 ② Maximize resource circularity for eco-friendly ecosystem □ Increase recovery of resources through battery recycling Considering that the amount of used batteries would increase in line with a growing number of electric vehicles on the roads, Samsung SDI plans to focus efforts on minimizing the impact of waste batteries on the environment throughout the entire product lifecycle. The company will continue to expand using recovered raw materials such as cobalt, nickel and lithium from disposed batteries through recycling. In cooperation with its recycling partners in Korea, Samsung SDI currently extracts cobalt, nickel and lithium from scrap at its plants in Cheonan and Ulsan, and reuses them for battery manufacturing under a closed-loop system. * Closed-loop: Scrap generated from manufacturing → recycling partners extract raw materials from scrap → precursors and cathode materials partners use the extracted materials → Samsung SDI uses recycled materials for battery manufacturing This year, the company has implemented the closed-loop system at its Malaysia and Hungary plants this year, and plans to expand it to China and the United States by 2025. In addition, Samsung SDI is already using professionally recycled battery materials from disposed batteries from electric vehicles, power tools and various IT devices, and will increase the proportion of those materials. In May, the company launched Recycle Lab within its R&D organization to develop technologies to raise the recovery rate and to find new ways of retrieving eco-friendly materials. Samsung SDI also plans to develop new recycling technologies through collaboration with partners and academia. □ Minimize waste-to-landfill at workplaces At manufacturing sites, disposed organic solvents, waste oil as well as general waste are generated altogether. The company used to bury or burn off such waste in the past, but is considering plans to minimize the amount of waste generated at the workplaces. It will separately discharge general waste, while sending specific industrial waste to recycling companies for reuse. Samsung SDI has received a platinum level from global safety certification organization Underwriters Laboratories (UL) in recognition of exceeding 99.5% in waste recycling at its Giheung and Cheongju sites, and plans to have all sites receive the level by 2025. □ Water conservation commitment Samsung SDI has set an aim to reduce the aggregate amount of water used for all operations through sustainable management of water resources by 2050. To minimize the impact on the environment, the company will improve supplies of water via cooling pumps and reuse consumed water from the battery manufacturing lines or rainwater. □ Minimize use of disposable products In order to fulfill social corporate responsibilities and join the efforts to reuse resources, Samsung SDI is striving to minimize the use of disposable and plastic products at all workplaces. The company launched a campaign to refrain from using disposable products, and has a plan to reduce the amount of disposable and plastic products at all company stores by 2023. □ CEO YOONHO CHOI says “Environment-friendly management is a necessary corporate social responsibility and key competitiveness of business” Samsung SDI in January launched Environmental Management Task Force headed by Chief Financial Officer Kim Jong-sung to implement environment-friendly management strategies. After the launch, a committee on sustainability management was created under the company’s Board of Directors. In February, ESG Strategy Group under the Planning Team was expanded to Corporate Sustainability Governance Office under the CFO. In addition, CEO Choi regularly checks on the progress of the company’s shift towards environment-friendly management by holding consultative meetings every quarter. Samsung SDI will make all of its environmental management activities transparent to its shareholders and stakeholders through continuous communication. “Environment-friendly management is a necessary corporate social responsibility for future generations and key competitiveness of our business to become a Global Top Tier Company by 2030,” said President and CEO YOONHO CHOI. Meanwhile, Samsung SDI has been publishing annual reports on sustainability as the first in the battery industry since 2003, which provide its stakeholders with information regarding ESG activities in a transparent manner. As a result, Samsung SDI maintained its position on the Dow Jones Sustainability World Index for 17 times until last year, holding the record of being included in the list the most among Korean companies. * DJSI World Index: Announced by S&P Dow Jones Index, the world’s largest financial information organization, it represents the top 10% of the world’s 2,500 largest companies in terms of ESG management SDI News Samsung SDI makes greater push in European commercial vehi..
