Financial performance

Gross income increased by 140% from €533k in the first half-year of 2020 to €1,280k in the first half-year of 2021.

In the Clean Municipal Water business line, revenues from the sale of goods in the first half-year of 2021 were €317k, a growth of 27% compared to €249k in the first half-year of 2020. NX Filtration benefitted from various projects in Asia, amongst which a project to

supply 140 dNF80 modules to PT. Bayu for the production of drinking water based on local river water for the city of Dumai in Indonesia. NX Filtration recently secured a repeat project for Aquarius H2O Dynamics to supply 102 dNF40 modules for caustic clarification at the CETP (common effluent treatment plant) in Jetpur, India. In the European market, where the conversion time from pilot to demo or full-scale project typically takes longer, NX Filtration started various new pilot projects, amongst others with Dutch drinking water company PWN, water board Aa & Maas and various municipal customers in France and Spain.

In the Sustainable Industrial Water business line, revenues from the sale of goods in the first half-year of 2021 were €771k, a growth of 503% compared to €128k in the first halfyear of 2020. NX Filtration benefitted from the pilots it had initiated since mid-2020 and the relatively short pilot to full-scale conversion lead-time. Key projects included a repeat project for PT. Bayu to supply 4 dNF40 modules for potable water production for Indonesia's biggest state owned hospital in Jakarta, a project for Aquarius H2O Dynamics to supply 32 dNF40 modules for the reuse of wastewater at a denim jeans company in India and a project for Beijing SEPLOM Environmental Technology to supply 20 dNF80 modules for industrial wastewater treatment to meet discharge standards and to enable reuse. In addition, NX Filtration signed a research contract with PepsiCo to investigate additional opportunities for deployment of dNF membranes at PepsiCo's facilities, following previous use of dNF technology at two PepsiCo facilities in North America.

Order backlog at the end of the first halfyear of 2021 was €702k, an increase of 703% compared to the end of the first half-year of 2020, especially driven by a strong order intake in the second quarter of 2021.

EBITDA and net profit

Revenues from the sale of goods increased by 189% from €377k in the first half-year of 2020 to €1,088k in the first half-year of 2021. Key drivers for this growth were an increase in the number of pilot projects, an increase in the number of demo- and full-scale projects, the start of the contract with Hydranautics to produce and supply HYDRAcap ultrafiltration (UF) modules per January 2021 (with a gradual ramp-up in volumes during H1 2021), the expansion of NX Filtration's sales force to new countries (Canada, India and Singapore) and a growing number of OEM relationships. Other income Revenue from sale of goods +140% 1,280 192 1,088 H1 2021 156 377 H1 2020 Revenue from sale of goods by business line (€ '000) Sustainable Industrial Water Clean Municipal Water +189% 1,088 317 771 377 128 249

EBITDA in the first half-year of 2021 amounted to negative €10.8 million compared to negative €0.7 million in the first half-year of 2020. EBITDA in the first half-year of 2021 include €9.6 million of costs related to the IPO. EBITDA in the first half-year of 2021 excluding these IPO costs amounted to negative €1.2 million. Net loss in the first half-year of 2021 amounted to €11.0 million compared to a net loss of €0.9 million in the first half-year of 2020. NX Filtration's medium-term objective is to realise a positive EBITDA margin by reaching a larger scale of operations and realising purchasing benefits based on increasing volumes and optimising product designs. NX Filtration's long-term objective is to realise an industryleading EBITDA margin based on benefitting from economies of scale, leveraging its fixed cost base as it realises its revenue growth and realising an increasing share of revenue from module replacements.

Finance and investments

Net cash position at 30 June 2021 amounted to €145.6 million, compared to €6.6 million at 31 December 2020. Net cash at 30 June 2021 was positively impacted by the proceeds from a share issuance through its IPO in June 2021 for an amount of €155.4 million (net of directly attributable IPO costs). The increased cash position is also affected by the repayment of preference shares amounting to €15.8 million.

Capital expenditure amounted to €2.4 million as compared to €0.5 million in the same period of 2020. Capex included investments in the ongoing capacity expansion and the expansion of NX Filtration's fleet of pilot systems. Additionally, NX Filtration capitalised €0.5 million of development costs which demonstrates the company's continued efforts to invest in innovations for the future.

Solvency (equity divided by total assets) stood at 96% at the end of June 2021 compared to 84% at the end of December 2020 as a result of the capital that NX Filtration raised at its IPO in June 2021. The proceeds are intended for investing in the further commercial rollout of NX Filtration, expanding the production capacity with a new manufacturing facility, innovation and M&A as a platform for accelerated growth.

The NX Filtration organisation grew from 34 FTEs at 31 December 2020 (32 FTEs at 30 June 2020) to 43 FTEs at 30 June 2021.

Progress against strategy

NX Filtration's key strategic themes center around the roll-out of pilot projects, the expansion of its production capacity and further innovation.

Pilot roll-out

Pilots play an important role in NX Filtration's commercial roll-out strategy. Pilots range from lab-scale Mexplorer pilots to full-scale (containerized) Mexpert pilots. In the first halfyear of 2021, NX Filtration initiated 32 pilot projects compared to 7 in the first half-year of 20201.

On 30 June 2021, NX Filtration had 31 pilots in its fleet, all of which were deployed in various pilot projects. To accommodate the further ramp-up of its pilot program, NX Filtration placed orders for an additional 49 pilot systems, including 4 Mexpert pilot systems specifically developed for the North American market.

Capacity expansion

NX Filtration is making further progress on expanding its production capacity. With the addition of a separate facility (at the Josink Esweg in Enschede, the Netherlands) for the production of its membrane modules in the first half-year of 2021, the original facility (at the Institutenweg in Enschede, the Netherlands) is being expanded to accommodate a second spinning line for the production of membranes. This second spinning line is expected to become operational at the end of 2021 and this addition will result in a targeted combined total capacity of approximately 10,000 membrane modules per year2 (compared to the current capacity of approximately 2,500 membrane modules per year3).

In parallel, further progress has been made with the development of a new large-scale manufacturing facility, which is expected to be commissioned in the next two to three years. Upon completion, this facility can gradually be expanded to 10 spinning lines with a targeted total capacity of approximately 80,000 membrane modules per year4. NX Filtration signed a purchase option for a 24,000 square meters plot of land at the High Tech Systems Park in Hengelo, the Netherlands, approximately 10 kilometres from the current facilities.

Innovation

NX Filtration made further progress on expanding its patent portfolio. Additional patents were granted based on its existing patent families:

• Patent family 'PEM membranes': US patent granted in June 2021. Intention to grant status received for Australia in the first half-year of 2021. Patent pending for China, South Korea, Singapore, Europe and India.

In addition, NX Filtration applied for a new patent in June 2021 ('dNF regeneration') related to further performance improvements on its dNF technology.

Furthermore, NX Filtration expanded its R&D team and made further progress with its innovation roadmap. In addition to various R&D programs focusing on performance and cost optimisation of its existing membranes, NX Filtration is currently testing more open dNF membranes to broaden application possibilities (suitable for waters with no or limited micropollutants).

Outlook

Boosted by the additional equity capital that NX Filtration raised with its IPO in June 2021, NX Filtration continues to invest in its strategic priorities.

A further ramp-up of its pilot program will be enabled by a growing fleet of pilot systems and an increase in the number of pilot engineers. A second spinning line for the production of membranes is expected to become operational at the end of 2021, which aims to enable

production efficiencies and unlock further growth opportunities, and next steps will be taken in the development of NX Filtration's new large-scale production plant. Furthermore, NX Filtration continues to expand its organisation, specifically in the fields of sales, pilot engineering, R&D and production personnel.

  • Patent family 'Positively charged membranes':
  • US patent granted in March 2021. Intention to grant status received for Australia, Japan and South Korea in the first halfyear of 2021. Patent pending for Europe, China, Singapore and India.
  • Patent family 'Hollow-fibre membrane': Brazil patent granted in April 2021 in addition to previous patent grants in India, Japan, South Korea, Malaysia, Russia and US. Patent pending in Europe.
  • 1 Pilot projects comprise of small pilots (typically Mexplorers) and larger pilots (typically Mexperts) based on NX Filtration's own pilot fleet as well as pilots (based on NX Filtration's dNF products) owned (and developed) by NX Filtration's OEM customers
  • 2 Estimation, based on 5-shift production and depending on product mix
  • 3 Theoretical capacity (as the current spinning line is incurring downtime with changes in products being produced and because spinning line is also used for R&D activities), estimation based on 3-shift production and depending on product mix
  • 4 Estimation, based on 5-shift production and depending on product mix

Following its Green labelled IPO (over 95% of NX Filtration's revenue and investments have been externally certified by CICERO Green as 'Dark Green'5, their highest green ranking corresponding to the long-term vision of a low carbon and climate resilient future), NX Filtration established working groups to translate the UN Sustainable Development Goals it aligns with6, into specific KPIs. NX Filtration aims to publicly report on these with its 2021 annual results.

NX Filtration reiterates its 2021 full-year visibility of over €3.7m gross income based on the first half-year performance, order backlog, expected other income for the rest of the year and weighted pipeline of orders for 2021.

General information

NX Filtration N.V. (hereafter "NX Filtration" or the "Company") is a public company (N.V.) and the leading provider of hollow fiber nanofiltration membrane technology for producing pure and affordable water to improve quality of life.

NX Filtration developed a breakthrough direct nanofiltration (dNF) membrane module designed to remove micropollutants, colour, nano plastics, selective salts and pharmaceuticals from water in one single step. This results in a very sustainable process with relatively low energy consumption and no or very limited need of chemicals.

NX Filtration's market approach is aimed at "Clean Municipal Water" and "Sustainable Industry Water" in which markets NX Filtration delivers products (membrane modules) that can be used to:

    1. Produce drinking water from surface water by removing amongst others micropollutants, nano plastics and medicine residues in one single step
    1. Treat wastewater streams to enable reuse and prevent discharge of polluting substances in the environment
    1. Treat well water to optimise quality and characteristics for process water
    1. Enable reuse of wastewater for industrial processes
    1. Recover and recycle valuable raw materials from wastewater streams, such as indigo in the textile industry or cleaning chemicals in beer breweries

NX Filtration is the holding company of the Group. The operating company included in the group consolidated financial statements is:

Company name NX Filtration B.V. Location and country Enschede, of incorporation the Netherlands Shareholding in % 100%

NX Filtration is registered in the Chamber of Commerce under number 64951030 and has it registered offices at Enschede, the Netherlands. The group is controlled by Infestos Holding E B.V. the immediate parent entity and B.V. lnfestos S.à r.l. in Luxembourg the ultimate parent entity and controlling party.

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements were approved for issue on 30 August 2021.

All information in these condensed interim consolidated financial statements is unaudited.

Basis of preparation

Summary of significant accounting policies 1

The condensed interim consolidated financial statements as at and for the six months ended 30 June 2021 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting as adopted by the European Union. They do not include all of the information required for a complete set of IFRS financial statements and should be read in conjunction with NX Filtration's Annual Report 2020.

All amounts have been rounded to the nearest thousand, unless otherwise indicated.

Going concern

The Company is in a stage of growth and the cash outflow is high due to organisation expansion and NWC investments as well as cash outflow from investing activities and IPO costs. The Company received significant funding in June 2021 by the proceeds received through the issuance of ordinary shares at its IPO on the regulated market of Euronext Amsterdam. The proceeds are intended for investing in the further commercial roll-out of NX Filtration, expanding the production capacity with a new manufacturing facility, innovation and M&A as a platform for accelerated growth. The proceeds raised by the Company through its IPO are expected to be sufficient to cover its cash requirements in the medium term.

Basis of measurement

The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those applied in the IFRS consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2020.

The preparation of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported periods. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experiences and various other factors that are believed

to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The significant judgments made by management in applying the Company's accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those described in the last annual financial statements.

A number of new amendments to standards are effective from 1 January 2021 but they do not have a material effect on the Company's condensed interim consolidated financial statements.

New standards and interpretations not yet adopted

Changes in accounting policies and disclosures 3

Certain new accounting standards and amendments to standards have been published that are not mandatory for reporting periods starting on or after 1 January 2021 and have not been early adopted by the Company. For none of these standards that are not yet effective it is expected that they have a material impact on the Company in the current or future reporting periods and on foreseeable future transactions.

The Company's revenue originates from sale of products. The Company recognises all its revenue at a point in time, when control over the asset is transferred to the customer.

Non-taxable expenses relate to the cost incurred by the Company related to its IPO on the Amsterdam Stock exchange. At the date of this report, it is uncertain if all (or part) of these costs are tax deductible. The Company is in the process of verifying this with the Dutch tax authorities.

Deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available against which those unused tax losses, unused tax credits or deductible temporary differences can be utilised. This assessment requires significant management judgments and assumptions. In making this assessment, management uses forecasted operating results, based upon approved business plans, including a review of the eligible carryforward periods, available tax planning opportunities and other relevant considerations.

At 30 June 2021 and 31 December 2020, the carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and trade payables approximated their fair values due to the short-term maturities of these assets and liabilities. The fair values of the long-term debt are not materially different from the carrying amounts as the interest rate is a floating rate plus spread where the spread equals the current market spread.

IMPORTANT: The information set out herein (the Information) does not constitute or form part of, and should not be construed as an offer or the solicitation of an offer to subscribe for or purchase securities of NX Filtration.

The Information contains forward-looking statements. All statements other than statements of historical facts may be forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, including the terms such as guidance, expected, step up, announced, continued, incremental, on track, accelerating, ongoing, innovation, drives, growth, optimising, new, to develop, further, strengthening, implementing, well positioned, roll-out, expanding, improvements, promising, to offer, more, to be or, in each case, their negative or other variations or comparable terminology, or by discussions of strategy, plans, objectives, goals, future events or intentions. Forward-looking statements may and often do differ materially from actual results. Any forwardlooking statements reflect NX Filtration's current view with respect to future events and are subject to risks relating to future events and other risks, uncertainties and assumptions relating to NX Filtration's business, results of operations, financial position, liquidity, prospects, growth or strategies. Forward looking statements reflect the current views of NX Filtration and assumptions based on information currently available to NX Filtration. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and NX Filtration does not assume any obligation to update such statements, except as required by law. NX Filtration's gross income outlook estimates are management estimates resulting from NX Filtration's pursuit

of its strategy. NX Filtration can provide no assurances that the estimated future gross income will be realised and the actual gross income for 2021 could differ materially. The expected gross income have also been determined based on assumptions and estimates that NX Filtration considered reasonable at the date these were made. These estimates and assumptions are inherently uncertain and reflect management's views which are also based on its historic success of being assigned projects, which may materially differ from the success rates for any future projects. These estimates and assumptions may change as a result of uncertainties related to the economic, financial or competitive environment and as a result of future business decisions of NX Filtration or its clients, such as cancellations or delays, as well as the occurrence of certain other events.

All figures in this report are unaudited and are subject to change. Certain figures contained in this report, including financial information, have been subject to rounding adjustments. Accordingly, in certain instances, the sum or percentage change of the numbers contained in this report may not conform exactly to the total figure given. In presenting and discussing the NX Filtration's financial position, operating results and cash flows, management uses certain non-IFRS financial measures. These non-IFRS financial measures should not be viewed in isolation as alternatives to the equivalent IFRS measure and should be used in conjunction with the most directly comparable IFRS measures. Non-IFRS financial measures do not have standardised meaning under IFRS and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies.

inoperable, NX Filtration will be unable to produce sufficient products and its business will be harmed, (ix) NX Filtration's business and strategy depends, in part, on certain significant customers and its relationship with OEMs, (x) NX Filtration's failure to protect its intellectual property rights may undermine its competitive position, and litigation to protect its intellectual property rights may be costly, time consuming and distracting from daily operations.
