Hanon Systems Supplies Highly Integrated Cooling Entity for Electric Vehicles Hanon Systems announced the company is supplying its innovative highly integrated cooling entity for electric vehicles. The very compact and multifunctional thermal management module is designed to integrate several components – including the innovative eCompressor, electronic expansion valve block, a combined water-cooled condenser, and internal heat exchanger, chiller, A/C lines, and pressure and temperature sensors – into a single high power-density solution that reduces system complexity, improves thermal performance, and enhances energy utilization, contributing to extended driving range. The highly integrated cooling entity developed by Hanon Systems was first deployed in BMW's fully electric iX3 SUV model. Designed for electric vehicles, the highly integrated cooling entity manages the thermal needs of multiple vehicle subsystems through an intelligent thermal management module. Weighing only 16 kg (35lbs), the system dynamically regulates refrigerant flow and temperature to optimally support real-time demands such a fast charging, high-performance driving, and extreme weather, all while minimizing energy usage. In addition, the module includes design elements related to noise, vibration and harshness (NVH), such as vibration isolation components and a sound cover. This design facilitates scalable production and efficient vehicle assembly, supporting adaptability to a wide range of battery electric vehicles platforms. Buy Or Sell Opportunity • Mar 30

New major risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 51% This is considered a major risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders.

All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Interest payments are not well covered by earnings (0.2x net interest cover).

Hanon Systems Develops First 4th Generation Heat Pump System for Electric Vehicles Hanon Systems has announced the development of the world's first 4th generation heat pump system, a key thermal management component for electric vehicles (EVs). The 4th generation heat pump system has been commercially available since July. The company's 4th generation heat pump system is the first to employ a parallel heat source recovery method, utilizing waste heat from the motor and battery as well as heat from external air. The recovered heat is used for both heating and cooling, as well as battery temperature management, significantly enhancing EV driving range. This modular heat pump system incorporates multiple new features that represent patented or patent pending technologies, demonstrating the thermal management leadership of Hanon Systems. The system integrates the Refrigerant Control Module (RCM) and the Coolant Control Module (CCM) into a unified control unit, allowing comprehensive management of the entire thermal system. Additionally, Hanon Systems has introduced Thin HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning). technology, a world first. Thin HVAC, as the name suggests, refers to a 'reduced' HVAC system. By reducing the overall HVAC system size by approximately 30%, it minimizes the exposure of the HVAC system area under the cockpit (dashboard component module), providing more legroom for passengers. This technology also ensures a comfortable and pleasant driving experience. Announcement • Jul 17

Hanon Systems Production of R744 eCompressors Surpasses 500,000 Units in Portugal Hanon Systems announced its automotive compressor plant in Palmela, Portugal, has surpassed a milestone production level of more than 500,000 electric compressors (eCompressors) designed specifically for use with R744, an environmentally friendly refrigerant. The Palmela plant is located in the Setúbal District, about 25 kilometers (16 miles) south of Lisbon, the capital city of Portugal. It opened in 1998 producing mechanical scroll compressors and production of its first eCompressor began in 2009. In 2018, the plant expanded with a new two-story construction adding approximately 10,000 square meters (108,000 square feet) of space and increasing the annual production capacity to support the industry's migration toward e mobility and address the demand for eCompressors. High volume manufacturing of the R744 eCompressor began at the Palmela plant in late-2019. R744 is an environmentally-friendly alternative to traditional refrigerants with a global warming potential (GWP) of one. Often referred to as carbon dioxide or CO2, R744 is preferred by certain automakers, primarily in Europe, for its improved heating performance in heat pump systems, which is quickly becoming mainstream technology in battery electric vehicle (BEV) applications. Hanon Systems has decades of experience developing thermal solutions that operate with various refrigerants.
