First Quarter 2023 Results

Revenue increased $29.5 million, or 17.7%, to $195.6 million for the first quarter ended March 31, 2023, compared to $166.2 million for the first quarter ended March 31, 2022. Excluding a foreign currency exchange headwind of $9.6 million, revenue for the first quarter was $205.3 million, or an increase of 23.5%, using constant exchange rates. The revenue increase was driven by continued sold volume growth for the Company’s products across the three segments, in addition to price increases implemented in EMEA primarily during the first quarter of 2023 and the Americas in the third quarter of 2022. Sold volume for the first quarter of 2023 amounted to 128 million liters compared to 118 million liters last year. Produced finished goods volume for the first quarter of 2023 amounted to 122 million liters compared to 121 million liters for the same period last year.

The Company continued to experience revenue growth across the retail and foodservice channels in the first quarter of 2023.

Gross profit was $34.1 million for the first quarter of 2023 compared to $15.8 million for the first quarter of 2022 and $31.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2022. The gross profit margin increase of 150 basis points in the first quarter of 2023 compared to the fourth quarter of 2022 was primarily from pricing actions in EMEA and improved customer and channel mix, which were partially offset by lower utilization of the Asia facilities as well as higher cost of production due to our planned co-packer consolidation activities in the Americas.

Research and development expenses in the first quarter of 2023 increased $1.5 million to $5.7 million compared to $4.3 million in the prior year period.

Selling, general and administrative expenses in the first quarter of 2023 decreased $5.2 million to $98.9 million compared to $104.1 million in the prior year period. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease of $3.9 million in branding, advertising and marketing expenses, $2.6 million in customer distribution costs, $2.5 million in external consultants, legal contractor and other professional fees, and $1.2 million in other related selling costs and third-party consultancy fees, which was offset by an increase of $5.2 million in employee related expenses driven by higher headcount as well as restructuring costs of $1.2 million.

Other operating income and expenses, net for the first quarter of 2023 decreased to an expense of $1.1 million compared to income of $0.3 million in the prior year period, comprised primarily of a net foreign exchange loss.

Net loss attributable to shareholders of the parent was $75.6 million for the first quarter of 2023 compared to net loss of $87.5 million in the prior year period.

EBITDA loss for the first quarter of 2023 was $59.3 million, compared to an EBITDA loss of $81.4 million in the first quarter of 2022. The decrease in EBITDA loss was primarily a result of higher gross profit.

Adjusted EBITDA loss for the first quarter of 2023 was $49.9 million, compared to a loss of $71.4 million in the first quarter of 2022. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily related to higher gross profit.

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA (Loss), and Constant currency revenue are non-IFRS financial measures defined under “Non-IFRS financial measures.” Please see above revenue at constant currency table and “Reconciliation of IFRS to Non-IFRS Results” at the end of this press release.

EMEA

EMEA revenue increased $7.7 million, or 8.5%, to $98.2 million for the first quarter of 2023, compared to $90.5 million in the prior year period. Excluding a significant foreign currency exchange headwind of $7.5 million, EMEA revenue for the first quarter was $105.7 million, or an increase of 16.8%, using constant exchange rates. This increase using constant exchange rates was primarily driven by growth in oat drink product offerings. Approximately 84% of EMEA revenue was from the retail channel for the first quarter of 2023. The sold finished goods volume for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 amounted to 73 million and 69 million liters, respectively.

EMEA EBITDA increased $12.0 million to a profit of $4.6 million for the first quarter of 2023 compared to a loss of $7.4 million in the prior year period. This increase in EMEA EBITDA was primarily due to higher gross profit but also lower operating expenses, primarily driven by lower branding and advertising expense. Adjusted EMEA EBITDA, which excluded restructuring costs of $1.0 million and recurring share-based compensation expense of $1.0 million, was a profit of $6.6 million compared to a loss of $5.9 million in the prior year period.

3

Americas

Americas revenue increased $17.0 million, or 36.2%, to $64.0 million for the first quarter of 2023, compared to $47.0 million in the prior year period. This increase was primarily due to price increases across all customers and channels during the third quarter coupled with sold volume growth of 6.5 percentage points across oat drink product offerings. Approximately 52% of Americas revenue was from the retail channel in the first quarter of 2023. The sold finished goods volume for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 amounted to 35 million and 33 million liters, respectively.

Americas EBITDA loss decreased $11.5 million to a loss of $11.8 million for the first quarter of 2023 compared to a loss of $23.3 million in the prior year period. primarily due to higher gross profit as the first quarter of 2022 was impacted by COVID-19 related factors. Adjusted Americas EBITDA, which excluded recurring share-based compensation expense of $1.0 million, was a loss of $10.3 million compared to a loss of $22.0 million in the prior year period.

Asia

Asia revenue increased $4.7 million, or 16.4%, to $33.4 million for the first quarter of 2023, compared to $28.7 million in the prior year period. Excluding a foreign currency exchange headwind of $2.1 million, Asia revenue for the first quarter was $35.5 million, or an increase of 23.8%, using constant exchange rates. The Asia segment was partially impacted by a COVID-19 break-out early in the quarter, which impacted both demand and our production in China during the first quarter of 2023. Approximately 65% of Asia revenue was from the foodservice channel for the first quarter of 2023. The sold finished goods volume for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 amounted to 20 million and 16 million liters, respectively.

Asia EBITDA loss increased $1.2 million to a loss of $18.1 million for the first quarter of 2023 compared to a loss of $16.9 million in the prior year period. The increase in Asia EBITDA loss was due to lower gross profit margin as our capacity utilization was impacted by COVID-19 related factors in China but also higher operating expenses. Adjusted Asia EBITDA, which excluded recurring share-based compensation expense of $1.4 million, was a loss of $16.7 million compared to a loss of $15.0 million in the prior year period.

Corporate Expense

Oatly’s corporate expense, which consists of general overhead costs not allocated to the segments, in the first quarter of 2023 was $34.0 million, an increase of $0.2 million compared to the prior year period.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow

As of March 31, 2023, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $78.8 million, and total outstanding debt to credit institutions of $105.5 million. Net cash used in operating activities was $71.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to $68.9 million during the prior year period which was primarily driven by a loss from operations. Capital expenditures were $27.1 million compared to $53.3 million in the prior year period and, in addition, proceeds from the sale of assets related to the YYF transaction was $44.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. Net cash from financing activities was $48.8 million reflecting primarily another drawdown under our revolving credit facility during the quarter.

On March 23, 2023 and April 18, 2023 the Company completed two substantially similar issuances resulting in $300 million in aggregate principal amount of convertible notes (with an original issuance discount of 3%) (the “U.S. Notes” and “Swedish Notes,” respectively). On April 18, 2023, the Company completed the funding of its $130 million term loan B credit facility, and on April 19, 2023, the Company consummated the amendment and restatement of its Sustainable Revolving Credit Facility Agreement.

On May 9, 2023 the Company entered into an agreement with an affiliate of Hillhouse Investment Management Ltd. ("Hillhouse") to sell an additional $35 million in convertible notes, resulting in approximately $34 million in financing after reflecting an original issue discount of 3% (the “HH Notes”). The economic terms of the HH Notes are substantially identical to the economic terms of the U.S. Notes as part of the previously-mentioned financing, except (i) that the HH Notes are convertible at Hillhouse’s option at an initial conversion price of $2.52 per American Depositary Share (“ADS”), representing an approximate 17% premium to the last reported sale price of Oatly’s ADSs on the Nasdaq Global Market on May 8, 2023, and (ii) with respect to the specified prices in connection with the conversion rate resets of the HH Notes. In addition, on May 9, 2023, one of the existing holders of Swedish Notes and an affiliate of one of the Company's shareholders, Verlinvest S.A. (“Verlinvest”), agreed to sell and Hillhouse agreed to purchase from Verlinvest $15 million aggregate principal amount of Swedish Notes (the “Resale Notes”). The purchase and sale of the HH Notes and the Resale Notes are expected to close no later than May 31, 2023, subject to receipt of shareholder approval, consents under certain of the Company’s financing arrangements, and the satisfaction or waiver of customary closing conditions.

Outlook

The Company’s outlook continues to assume reasonable containment of COVID-19 related infection rates globally, including no further major lockdowns in Asia, and does not reflect any additional deterioration in the European macro environment, or any significant changes in the geopolitical impact of the current war in Ukraine. Based on the Company’s assessment of the current operating environment, including inflation, interest rates, and the impact on consumer behavior, the Company is reiterating its guidance for the full year ending December 31, 2023:

•Revenue growth of 23% to 28% on a constant currency basis compared to full year 2022,

•Gross margin to improve sequentially quarter-over-quarter in fiscal 2023, reaching the high-20%s in the fourth quarter,

•Capital expenditures between $180 million and $200 million.

The Company continues to believe this progress will enable it to deliver positive adjusted EBITDA for the fiscal year 2024.

The Company cannot provide a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA or Adjusted EBITDA margin guidance to the nearest comparable corresponding IFRS metric without unreasonable efforts due to difficulty in predicting certain items excluded from this non-IFRS measure. The items necessary to reconcile are not within Oatly’s control, may vary greatly between periods and could significantly impact future financial results.

Conference Call, Webcast and Supplemental Presentation Details

Oatly will host a conference call and webcast at 8:30 a.m. ET today to discuss these results. The conference call, simultaneous, live webcast and supplemental presentation can be accessed on Oatly’s Investors website at https://investors.oatly.com under “Events.” The webcast will be archived for 30 days.

Non-IFRS Financial Measures

We use EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Constant Currency Revenue as non-IFRS financial measures in assessing our operating performance and in our financial communications:

“EBITDA” is defined as loss for the period attributable to shareholders of the parent adjusted to exclude, when applicable, income tax expense, finance expenses, finance income and depreciation and amortization expense.

“Adjusted EBITDA” is defined as loss for the period attributable to shareholders of the parent adjusted to exclude, when applicable, income tax expense, finance expenses, finance income, depreciation and amortization expense, share-based compensation expense, restructuring costs, asset impairment charge and other costs related to assets held for sale.

“Constant Currency Revenue” is calculated by translating the current year reported revenue amounts into comparable amounts using the prior year reporting period’s average foreign exchange rates which have been provided by a third party.

6

Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to loss for the period or any other measure of financial performance calculated and presented in accordance with IFRS. There are a number of limitations related to the use of Adjusted EBITDA rather than loss for the period attributable to shareholders of the parent, which is the most directly comparable IFRS measure. Some of these limitations are:

•Adjusted EBITDA excludes depreciation and amortization expense and, although these are non-cash expenses, the assets being depreciated may have to be replaced in the future increasing our cash requirements;

•Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect interest expense, or the cash required to service our debt, which reduces cash available to us;

•Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect income tax payments that reduce cash available to us;

•Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect recurring share-based compensation expense and, therefore, does not include all of our compensation costs;

•Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect restructuring costs that reduce cash available to us in future periods;

•Adjusted EBITDA excludes asset impairment charge and other costs related to assets held for sale, although these are non-cash expenses, the assets being impaired may have to be replaced in the future increasing our cash requirements; and

•Other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently, which reduces its usefulness as a comparative measure.

Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information provided in accordance with IFRS. Below we have provided a reconciliation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to loss attributable to shareholders of the parent, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with IFRS, for the periods presented.

We use constant currency information to provide a framework in assessing how our business and geographic segments performed excluding the effects of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations and believe this information is useful to investors to facilitate comparisons and better identify trends in our business. Above we have provided a reconciliation of revenue as reported to revenue on a constant currency basis for the periods presented.
