HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach – 14 January 2021 –
This news release is made by Johnson Electric Holdings Limited (“Johnson
Electric” or the “Company” and together with its subsidiaries, the “Group”) for
the business operations and selected unaudited financial information of the
Group for the three months and the nine months ended 31 December 2020.

The Board of Directors (the
“Board”) of the Company considers the publication of quarterly sales performance
updates to be consistent with international corporate disclosure best practice.
The objective of this news release is to provide transparency and to ensure
that investors and potential investors receive equal access to the same
information at the same time.

The Group’s sales for the
quarter ended 31 December 2020 were US$912 million compared to US$773 million
for the same quarter in 2019, an increase of 18%. Excluding currency movements,
sales increased by 15% to US$887 million. Foreign exchange rate movements had a
positive effect of US$25 million on the Group’s sales for the quarter ended 31
December 2020. This was mainly due to the impact of the stronger average
exchange rates for the Euro and Chinese Renminbi against the US Dollar,
compared to the same quarter in 2019.

The recovery in sales
experienced in the second quarter gathered momentum in the third quarter,
partially mitigating the deep pandemic-driven decline experienced in the first
quarter of the financial year. Overall, the Group recorded sales of US$2,242
million for the nine months ended 31 December 2020, compared to US$2,338
million for the same period in 2019, a decrease of 4%. Excluding currency
movements, sales for the nine months ended 31 December 2020 decreased by 5%.

Sales of Automotive
Products Group (“APG”)

APG’s sales for the quarter
ended 31 December 2020 increased by US$107 million or 17% compared to the same
quarter in 2019.  Excluding currency
effects, APG’s sales increased by US$84 million or 13% in the quarter.

APG’s sales outperformed
compared to automotive industry production volumes, in all regions, in both the
nine months and the quarter ended 31 December 2020. Although the COVID-19
pandemic sharply reduced APG’s sales in April and May 2020, particularly in
Europe and the Americas, the Group subsequently experienced a significant
recovery in demand. The sales changes by region, excluding currency effects,
were as follows:

Johnson Electric’s
innovative technology and product portfolio remains well positioned to meet
growing demand for the electrification of critical automotive functions to
increase powertrain efficiency, reduce vehicle weight, improve safety,
reliability and enhance comfort.

Sales of Industry
Products Group (“IPG”)

IPG’s sales for the quarter
ended 31 December 2020 increased by US$32 million or 21% compared to the same
quarter in 2019. Excluding currency effects, IPG’s sales increased by US$29
million or 20% for the quarter.

IPG’s business and financial
performance benefited significantly from changes in consumer behaviour and
expenditure in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. As consumers in many
countries were required to spend more time at home, the division experienced
strong demand for products for food and beverage, floor care, home office
printer, lawn and garden, window automation, power tool, sanitation and
ventilation applications. The medical segment also experienced strong growth,
driven by the long-term imperative to reduce the labour intensity of hospital
procedures.

These positive demand
dynamics were partly offset by the COVID-19 pandemic’s adverse impact on some
specific customers and market segments. In Europe and the Americas, sales to
many small and medium enterprises decreased as consumers switched to purchasing
through the online sales channels of larger competitors. Commercial printers,
metering, flexible printed products and switches segments were also slower than
usual.

On a regional basis, IPG
experienced the highest sales growth in Asia due in large part to the rapid
recovery of China’s industrial sector and strong global demand for the
country’s manufactured goods. In Europe and the Americas, the path to recovery
in some segments has taken somewhat longer and in the US, in particular, IPG’s
sales have been hampered by delays from port congestion as well as land and
rail logistical bottlenecks. The sales changes by region, excluding currency
effects, were as follows:

Chairman’s Comments on Sales
Performance and Outlook

Concerning the quarter ended
31 December 2020 sales performance, the Chairman and Chief Executive, Dr.
Patrick Shui-Chung Wang, said, “The strong recovery in demand that we
experienced during the second quarter continued in the third quarter — with
sales levels in both APG and IPG running well ahead of the third quarter in the
prior year.  Although there remains some
uncertainty as to how the upsurge in COVID-19 in many Western countries could
impact business activity and consumer confidence, the Group is presently on track
to deliver full-year total sales close to the level achieved in the prior
financial year.  This would represent a
very satisfactory achievement given the fact that such a large portion of
Johnson Electric’s operations was either shutdown or significantly constrained
during the first two months of the current financial year.”

MAIDSTONE, KENT – Media OutReach – 14 January 2021 – KEF has created a completely new take on subwoofer and speaker designs with the innovative Uni-Core technology. The patent-pending Uni-Core technology delivers ultra-compact size and mighty performance, creating the audio lover’s dream of a powerful but discreet subwoofer or speaker. The new Uni-Core technology, developed by KEF, redefines the size versus performance battle in an unprecedented triumph of quality sound. The technology enables high-level performance whilst reducing the subwoofer or speaker cabinet volume significantly. The evolution of KEF’s technology has been met with KEF’s unwavering desire to create a timeless design with forward-thinking acoustic inventiveness.

Acknowledging the ambition to create an aesthetically pleasing piece of audio equipment to complement our living room, it was also imperitive that KEF not only maintain but excel in their provision of accurate and deep bass. With this aim of desirable aesthetics and uncompromising performance the first challenge was how to fit two drivers into a compact cube enclosure. “To deliver deep and loud bass from a compact product is a big engineering challenge. The Uni-core is a breakthrough technology for KEF because it allows us to pack two drivers into a tighter space without compromising their performance.” – Dr Jack Oclee-Brown, Head of Research & Development at KEF.

With the new Uni-Core topology, dual force-cancelling drivers provide bass performance from less space by means of concentrically arranged, overlapping voice coils. Furthermore, Uni-Core allows a single motor to energise both cones. The coils are different sizes on each cone, which means when the cones move backwards the coils can occupy the same space within the cabinet. Overall it means that the physical cabinet can be extremely compact and significantly reduced in volume compared to using conventional driver technology.

The space saved allows the drivers to have far more excursion than an equivalent-sized force-cancelling design, unlocking more output and depth from much less space. This patent-pending technology smoothly delivers the aspirational design and audio excellence.

Notes to Editors: Uni-Core technology

• Patent-pending Uni-Core technology redefines the physical space required for high-performance speakers and subwoofers
• Uni-Core combines the dual force-cancelling drive units into a single motor system with the overlapping voice coils concentrically arranged thus reducing the size of the speaker or subwoofer cabinet significantly
• The new Uni-Core technology will be applied in an upcoming new KEF product to be announced this month

• The
  two highly-endangered bears are settling in Al Ma’wa for Nature and Wildlife in
  Jordan after a temperature-controlled multimodal journey from Islamabad
• DHL took care of the customs clearance and logistics,
  while global animal welfare organization FOUR PAWS provided animal expertise

SINGAPORE
– Media OutReach – 14 January 2021 – Bubloo
and Suzie, two 17-year old highly-endangered Himalayan brown bears, took the
flight of a lifetime and have safely arrived at Al Ma’wa for Nature and
Wildlife in Jordan. After months of extensive preparation, which included
health checks, planning of routes, customs clearance and training for the
bears, DHL Global Forwarding and FOUR PAWS, a global animal welfare
organization, brought Bubloo and Suzie to their new home on 17 December.

“Being able to leverage our logistics expertise,
temperature-controlled capabilities and customs clearance solutions to help
animals, such as Bubloo and Suzie, relocate brings another perspective to our
mission of “Connecting People, Improving Lives”. The successful move, like so
many others that we have done, might have required more elaborate planning but brought
the teams so much satisfaction. We are glad that the bears are settling in
their new home in time to ring in the New Year,” said Kelvin Leung, CEO, DHL
Global Forwarding Asia Pacific.

The freight forwarding specialist of Deutsche
Post DHL Group managed the logistics of flying the animals, while veterinary
specialists from FOUR PAWS, who accompanied them on the same flight, provided
insights to make the journey comfortable for the bears. DHL chauffeured Bubloo
and Suzie, weighing 120 kilograms and 90 kilograms respectively, to the Islamabad
International Airport in custom-built cages that adhere to the International
Air Transport Association’s regulations. From there, they boarded their flight
to Jordan with a short layover in Doha.

“We are pleased to report that, after their
first-class flight experience that ended at the Queen Alia International
Airport, Bubloo and Suzie are thriving in their new home. The months of detailed
planning with DHL in coordination with local Pakistan officials and the
financial help of American businessman Eric S. Margolis, have paid off as the
bears begin to build their new lives at Al Ma’wa for Nature and Wildlife, a
sanctuary run by the Princess Alia Foundation and FOUR PAWS,” said Dr. Amir
Khalil, FOUR PAWS veterinarian and leader of the rescue mission.

On 30 November, DHL and FOUR PAWS relocated Kaavan,
also known as the world’s loneliest elephant, from the Marghazar Zoo in
Islamabad to the Cambodia Wildlife Sanctuary. In previous years, DHL
successfully helped four
grown endangered Ussuri brown bears travel across continents from Japan to
England, and sent two
giant pandas on a climate-neutral journey from China to Finland.

Note to editors:

Kaavan, a 36-year old Asian
elephant, was the first-ever adult elephant that was flown out of Pakistan. Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at the
logistics that moved the Asian elephant, which was kept captive for decades in
a Pakistan Zoo, to a Cambodian wildlife sanctuary to live out its days in
comfort and good company.
