In December 2023 (announcement 355) the Company announced that proposition by the Board of Directors to lower the nominal value per share from DKK 50 to DKK 10 and to lower the share capital with nominal DKK 19.049.120 to cover losses had been approved at the Extraordinary General Meeting.
The Company announced in announcement 356 that the Company had repaid in full bond-loans of DKK 4,2 million at 30. December 2023, which were due at 31 December 2023. The Company also stated that it was in advanced stages of negotiating a new financing with a mix of new capital and new bondloans of minimum DKK 4,0 million. In January 2024 the Company announced (announcement 358) that a successful share issue was completed resulting in proceeds of DKK 3,0 million and later in January (announcement 359) the Company announced that a bond loan of DKK 2,2 million was secured whereby the refinancing was completed with an improved capital structure and lower debt.
In February 2024 (announcement 364) the Company announced that a new Board of Directors had been appointed with former Chairman Michael Hove and board member Jakob Færch Bendtsen stepping down, giving room to new competencies and experience to help strengthen the strategy, performance and communication of Rovsing's continued journey. The new board members elected are Kim Brangstrup, Jean Marcel Dühring, Michael Lumholt and Carsten Jørgensen while Ulrich Beck continues and takes on the role of Chairman.
The H1 2022/23 realised revenue and EBITDA are in line with expectations at the beginning of the running financial year. With a diverse order backlog of projects, the Rovsing team has had ample projects to tackle and could shift focus if faced with lacking inputs from customers. Recruiting and scaling of the organization has been an ongoing process throughout H1 to scale the capacity to the increased activity level.
The order intake in the first 6 months of the financial year 2023/24 has been lower than in the same period last year as the number of successful and outstanding tenders was lower due to lower demand where our customers are preparing the coming missions awaiting the tendering phase. Rovsing expects increase in tender activity to pick up in H2.

Order backlog remains at a high-level DKK 54,5 million, a success reflecting the efforts invested in sales and project proposals as well to a continuous increase of industry activity. The figure below shows the order backlog exclusive of ongoing service contracts.

The evolution of the order backlog is in line with expectation as the Company maintains a strong competitive position in key market segments.
Rovsing continues to be a key player within the European institutional space market, holding a position as one of the key level 1 suppliers of the major European Prime contractors in their efforts to capture upcoming mission within space exploration, earth observation, communication and other critical infrastructure as showcased by our ongoing contracts across the spectrum.
The Rovsing team continued work on the Galileo Second Generation (G2G) EGSEs, implementing the changes to the baseline forthe customer Thales Alenia Space (TAS) Italy. The BatSim/BCE system went through successful CDR and TRR milestones in H1, with delivery planned for early 2024 and the remainder of set 1 is expected to be delivered during the spring with the following 4 sets to follow in 2024-2025.
The Mars Sample Return (MSR) Earth Return Orbiter (ERO) Electrical Satellite Interface Simulator (E-SIS) for Airbus DS has seen several stoppage periods due to programme level changes for the MSR mission. Rovsing is in final stages of testing of the E-SIS pending updates from customer regarding further MSR changes.
Following the successful completion of the MSR-ERO Startracker contract, Jena-Optronik has awarded Rovsing with a follow up contract for the Independent SW Validation & Verification (ISVV) of the LIDAR, lso for the MSR-ERO mission, an activity which was started beginning of H2. In addition, the Company has an ISVV contract related to the MSR-ERO programme performing the OBC-GNC ISVV with our partner Critical Software, a contract that is expected to run until the end of 2024.
Rovsing involvement as key contributor to the MSR programme for the E-SIS and multiple ISVV tasks showcases the capabilities and reliability of Rovsing on flagship ESA and NASA exploration programmes.
For the PLATiNO programme and customer SITAEL S.p.A in Italy, Rovsing remains to deliver a MiniCOTE system, the system is ready, pending harness definitions from the customer.
The European Commission Copernicus programme provides vital data from satellites which help address challenges such as urbanisation, food security, rising sea levels, diminishing polar ice, natural disasters and, of course, climate change. Rovsing has contributed to many of the current suite of Sentinel satellite missions. Looking to the future the capabilities of the Copernicus space component is being enhanced by six new satellites (CO2M, LSTM, CHIME, ROSE-L, CIMR and CRISTAL), currently being developed by ESA and built by European industry. Rovsing has already secured multiple contracts and is working on 4 out of 6 satellites with different primes (LSTM, ROSE-L, CIMR and CRISTAL).
Rovsing was awarded the CRISTAL Boot SW Validation contract by TAS-F with a KO held in January 2023, but due to programme shift the Rovsing activities shifted to pick up pace in autumn 2023 and are expected to be completed in 2024.
Airbus DS selected Rovsing to deliver the Power SCOEs as well as the Power Front-Ends for the Copernicus CRISTAL and LSTM missions. The first Power Front-End delivery was shipped to Airbus DS in August 2023 and the second set delivered December 2023. The CDR for the Power SCOE project was successfully conducted in July 2023. The Power SCOE racks are currently being assembled in Rovsing facilities with deliveries planned for spring 2024 and autumn 2025 of sets 1 and 2 respectively.
In June 2023, Rovsing and TAS-I conducted the successful Kick-off of the CIMR UMB/COTE SCOE project with deliveries scheduled for end 2024 and mid 2025 of the respective two sets.
The ROSE-L Power EGSEs were awarded to Rovsing by TAS-I in July 2023 with delivery scheduled for end 2024.
Rovsing is supporting Airbus DS on the ARIEL mission by providing the Satellite Interface Simulators (SIS). The assembly and integration of the first two sets being completed with a TRR in August 2023 and deliveries in early 2024 of the two reduced sets and spring 2024 of the two full sets.
Rovsing is delivering the FORUM Platform Emulator SCOE to OHB. FORUM is an ESA mission which will measure Earth's outgoing radiation in the far-infrared part of the electromagnetic spectrum that has never been measured from space before. The Platform Emulator SCOE project was kicked-off in January 2023 and completed the CDR milestone in June 2023. Changes to the requirements have been introduced and delivery has shifted to spring 2024 to accommodate these. OHB has in July 2023 awarded Rovsing with a 2nd FORUM contract, for the Thermal EGSE which is scheduled to be delivered in latter half of 2024 after requirement changes introduced by OHB in H1.
In June 2023, TAS-I awarded Rovsing with a contract for supplying a Power SCOE for a domestic European Military satellite. The kick-off was conducted successfully in early July 2023 with the CDR completed successfully in H1 the production is in full swing with deliveries scheduled for spring and autumn 2024 of the respective two sets.
Rovsing has continued support for the Artemis missions with the Orion Multi-Purpose Crew Vehicle (MPCV) European Service Module (ESM). Four Solar Array Wing Front End Equipment (SAW FEE) systems are deployed, two with Airbus DS in Bremen and Ariane Group in Les Mureaux, one with Lockheed Martin in Colorado for the Integrated Test Lab and the fourth with NASA at the Kennedy Space Center. Three MPCV-ESM PCDU EGSE have also been delivered to Leonardo in Milan. As part of the NASA Artemis and Lunar Gateway programmes, ESA has committed to providing an additional three ESMs. In this connection Rovsing is continuing to provide engineering support both remote & onsite as well as spare parts and possible upgrades.
Our current onsite service business in CSG Kourou ended ultimo 2023. Rovsing decided to ramp down the activities at CSG and is in the process of offloading the team and operations related to the previous activity. The Company remains open to explore new activities for CSG Kourou, given a profitable setup.
No customer or trade show visits to North America were conducted during H1. In H2, deliveries of products are planned for Boeing in support of their satellite test facilities, fulfilling an order awarded in H1 2023/24.
As a supplier of various EGSE to the European Service Module (ESM) for the Orion Crew Capsule, Rovsing remains a vital partner for the Artemis mission 1 which flew successfully to the moon and back during the fall 2022. Further Artemis missions are planned in the coming years with the aim of bringing humans back to the Moon. With a longterm commitment of NASA and ESA for additional ESM / Service Modules, Rovsing participates with related service agreements for the coming years.
The overall North American market for commercial, military, and civil space remains a growth opportunity and strategic focus for the Company.
In H1 2023/24, Rovsing was awarded the first product orders from South Korea. Deliveries were in two batches, the final one in January 2024 following an training visit by the customer at our facilities in Glostrup.
Rovsing continues to closely monitor emerging and ambitious space markets with their increasing space budgets, with the target of acquiring new customers in coming years.
Improvements in the value chain, continuous improvements of quality and efficiency are a constant success factor to improve the Company's competitive advantage. During H1, Rovsing has continued to invest efforts on improving its product base as well as related logistics, production and testing environments while levering co-financing where possible.
Rovsing's strategic roadmap focuses on achieving increased scalability such that our already modular products can be better address the widening range of satellite architectures. In H1, efforts related to product development and feature improvements in the domains of both software and hardware have continued as these are key enablers for Rovsing abilities to deliver diverse market leading system solutions to customers.
During H1 2023/24 Rovsing has continued efforts related to further opportunities, matching the Company's expertise, concerning mainly Defence and Critical Infrastructures on Danish and European level to broaden the scope of business in close cooperation with Prime Contractors and other potential partners.
By the end of December 2023, Rovsing employed a total of 28 employees, counted on a full-timeequivalent basis. Most employees were employed at the company's head office in Glostrup, Denmark, but the company also has employees in Kourou, French Guiana, where they provide support and consultancy services.
