CEO comment

"Q2 was a record revenue quarter for the business and the result of strong execution across our existing and targeted new DRS markets. We were delighted to announce our first success in the UK with Iceland Foods in Scotland and anticipate that we will build on this in the next months as other commercial processes conclude. In addition, this quarter showed improved core Gross Margins which have stabilized and continue to show recovery from Q4 2021. In what is still an uncertain supply chain environment, we are continuing to manage cost, scale and optimize production, and streamline logistics, positioning the company well for profitable expansion. Wider activity and progress continue at a good pace in Romania, Ireland, Portugal, and Central Europe. The business has delivered a strong H1 in 2022 and we remain optimistic about solid growth this year and setting a good foundation towards our long-term targets." – Simon Bolton, CEO

Financial review

Profit and loss

Second quarter 2022

Revenue in the second quarter of 2022 amounted to EUR 16.6 million, up 103% from EUR 8.2 million in the second quarter of 2021. Revenue growth was driven by strong year-on-year growth in both North American and Europe with RVM sales reaching EUR 8.3 million (+468%). Program services also experienced healthy growth representing EUR 8.3 million (+24%) in the quarter.

Total gross profit came in at EUR 5.5 million in Q2'22, up from EUR 3.0 million in Q2'21. Gross margin was 33.3%, down from 37.0% in Q2'21, but improved from 32.9% in Q1'22. Margin pressure from inflationary impacts on labor, component costs, and logistics seen throughout 2021 have moderated and begun to stabilize in H1'22. Envipco has also improved labor efficiencies with a reduction of temporary production labor in the quarter. While gross margins are expected to fluctuate quarter-over-quarter based on product and customer mix, the company is expecting margin levels to stabilize and improve over the medium term with continued pricing and product cost focus.

Total operating expenses amounted to EUR 5.8 million in the quarter, compared to EUR 3.4 million in Q2'21 and EUR 4.6 million in Q1'22. The year-on-year increase is mainly driven by scaling of operations in production centers (+ EUR 0.6 million), increased sales and marketing activities in Romania, Sweden and Malta (+ EUR 0.6 million), market development (+ EUR 0.3 million), and foreign exchange (+ EUR 0.3 million). Overall, these planned investments continue to be critical to enable profitable growth and capitalize on upcoming business opportunities as more European countries introduce DRS regulations.

Resulting EBITDA for Q2'22 was EUR 0.9 million, comparable to the EUR 0.9 million seen in Q2'21. Net Loss for the quarter amounted to EUR 0.4 million compared to Net Loss of EUR 0.1 million in Q2'21.

Revenue categories (EUR million)

*Machine and Parts Sales include sales of RVMs and parts. Program Services include Lease, Service and Pick-up & Processing revenues.

Cash Flow

Cash generated from operating activities amounted to negative EUR 4.1 million in H1'22 (versus positive EUR 5.5 million in H1'21) including inventory buildup of EUR 7.3 million and EUR 3.0 million increase of other payables, both related to the execution of Malta and North American contracts in Q2 and Q3 2022. Working capital levels will be reduced as these sizeable contracts are executed, contributing to improved operating cash flow in H2'22.

Cash flow from investing activities was negative EUR 1.8 million, related to capitalized R&D of EUR 0.8 million and investments in the US and Romanian facilities of EUR 1.1 million.

Cash flow from financing activities was positive EUR 5.6 million in H1'22 compared to positive EUR 5.6 million in H1'21. The financing cash flow in the first half of 2022 mainly consisted of EUR 6.8 million in proceeds from a EUR 2.9 million term loan secured in June 2022 and EUR 3.9 million utilization of our credit facility, next to repayments of borrowings of EUR 0.9 million.

Net change in cash and cash equivalents was negative EUR 0.3 million during H1'22, compared to positive EUR 9.0 million in H1'21. Total cash holdings amounted to EUR 2.7 million per end of H1'22, down from EUR 10.2 million in H1'21 which was supported by EUR 7.4 million in proceeds from the Oslo Growth share issue in February 2021. In addition to cash holdings, the Company has an available line of credit of EUR 1.8 million.

As indicated in the previous quarter and as part of financing working capital requirements, the company secured a term loan of EUR 2.9 million with additional credit of EUR 2.9 million in June 2022. Envipco continues to evaluate long term debt financing opportunities as necessary to finance cash requirements to fund growth and ongoing operations of the company.

Financial position

On 30 June 2022, Envipco had total assets of EUR 65.5 million, compared with EUR 49.1 million as of 30 June 2021.

Total equity was EUR 32.1 million at the end of H1'22, corresponding to an equity ratio of 49%, compared with EUR 30.9 million on 30 June 2021 (63% equity ratio).

Total borrowings at the end of the period amounted to EUR 13.6 million, including EUR 6.8 million in proceeds from term loan and credit facility utilization, and a second PPP loan of EUR 1.8 million. Forgiveness of this PPP loan was confirmed in July 2022 and will be recognized as income in Q3'22. Borrowings amounted to EUR 7.5 million at the end of H1'21.

*Including Rest of the World (RoW).

North America

  • Strong quarter with Q2'22 year-on-year revenue growth of 67% to EUR 11.4 million, driven by strong growth in both Program Service volumes and RVM sales
  • Strong orderbook in place with key existing retailers for Q3'22

North Americas Q2'22 program services revenue increased by 25% to EUR 8.0 million compared to EUR 6.4 million in Q2'21, as result of good seasonal weather and full opening of the redemption and hospitality compared to prior year. Machine sales from North America amounted to EUR 3.3 million in Q2'22, showing strong momentum with 18% quarter-on-quarter growth from EUR 2.8 million in Q1'22. RVM sales are up 813% year-on-year from EUR 0.4 million in Q2'21.

Envipco continues to expand its presence in North America and expects several opportunities to materialize in the medium-term, including California which is in the process of reviewing its Bottle Bill.

Europe

  • Record quarter with revenue of EUR 5.3 million, up 271% from EUR 1.4 million in Q2'21
  • Significant contract won with Iceland Foods to install RVMs in all stores operating in Scotland
  • Revenue of EUR 3.6 million recognized from Malta contract, similar revenue contribution expected in Q3'22

Sales in Europe came in at EUR 5.3 million in the second quarter, up 271% from EUR 1.4 million in Q2'21. Machine sales amounted to EUR 5.0 million (+353%), largely driven by the Malta contract. Revenue from Sweden amounted to EUR 1.5 million, recovering from customer installation delays in Q1'22. Sales in Sweden are expected to reach 2021 levels in 2022.

Strong progress across European DRS markets supports a solid growth trajectory going forward. Scotland is significantly ramping through a signed contract with Iceland Foods for all their 87 stores operating in Scotland. Negotiations are progressing with several Tier 1 retailers in Scotland with promising follow-on opportunities for expansion in the United Kingdom. Further, revenue from the Malta contract will continue to come in through Q3'22 from both RVM sales and service revenue which is recognized from time of installation.

Operational and organizational development

8

Envipco is continuously growing and improving the organization to enable scale and expansion in new and existing markets, particularly within site leadership, supply chain, and logistics. Organizational additions were made in both product technology and IT teams in the quarter.

Market developments

There is pronounced increase in activity in a number of markets as a result of legislative movement, customer engagement, and the Company's specific market development plans. This activity is seen in both North America and Europe. In all cases this has resulted in specific awards, working with potential customers through pilots, or building a pipeline of commercial opportunities, specifically:

UK/Scotland/Ireland: Continuing commercial activity with a recent win as well as participating in final stage RFPs with Tier 1 Retailers; orders expected during 2022/early 2023. Scotland is still on track for the announced go-live in August 2023. Go-live for Ireland and the UK are anticipated for 2024.

Malta: DRS go-live pushed to H2'22 for higher retail engagement. Shipments on existing contract have completed and we are working with our customer BCRS on system completion.

Portugal: DRS go-live is now expected for early '24. Continued engagement with retailers and piloting of products prior to an operator being appointed and a clear runway for Go-live is announced.

Romania: DRS law passed with expected go-live in late '23 early '24. Market development activities accelerating through expansion of pilots with most Tier 1 retailers and municipalities with expected conclusion of some RFPs in H1 '22. Romanian manufacturing plant opened and being ramped-up.

Greece: Engaged in a project with our Greek distributor as part of a pre-DRS initiative. The initiative anticipates lower gross margin initially as part of the investment strategy.

North America: Positioning the North America business team on legislative initiatives in Massachusetts and New York. Renewed legislative activity in California tied to proposed changes in deposit legislation and redeployment of USD 100 million of excess funds to encourage increased redemptions. Continued focus on OBRC technology agreement as aged equipment is replaced and new RVM's are deployed in Oregon. Engagement in final tenders for earlier Connecticut expansion remaining.

ROW: ROW activities mainly include Australia. The company

has expectations for further growth in the country in 2022-23 particularly with Victoria announcing DRS go-live in 2023, as well as further opportunities in Queensland and Western Australia.

Outlook

As evidenced by the strong growth and high commercial activity seen in the quarter, Envipco continues to develop and expand across Europe and North America as the markets mature and DRS schemes approach go-live. The company is progressing steadily with substantial opportunities with retailers in the United Kingdom and is strengthening its position with key retailers in the United States. More than ever, Envipco is well positioned for continued strong growth in H2 2022 and the longer term. The company maintains a strong orderbook for Q3'22 including continued revenue recognition from the Malta contract, and new opportunities are materializing throughout Europe and in North America.

Gross margin continues to be a key focus area following the challenging market conditions and inflationary pressures seen in 2021. While component and transportation costs show signs of stabilizing, the company recognizes the risks and uncertainties stemming from the current economic and geopolitical climate. Thus, Envipco is continuously managing product cost, improving price levels, and working to ensure a lean and profitable business. Envipco has, through the first six months of 2022, improved labor efficiencies, phasing out temporary labor, and initiated several cost optimization projects. With the ramp up of the new Romanian facility we expect to increase production capacity, reduce manufacturing costs, simplify supply chains, and lower freight costs

Envipco maintains investment in organization and infrastructure to allow execution on the opportunities ahead. Market development activities are progressing steadily, and the company is in a strong position to capture new market share as DRS-legislation is introduced. We remain confident in our strategy, our investments, and our ability to deliver strong growth and execute on our long-term revenue and gross margin targets. We are excited to be creating a cleaner world for future generations through our recycling technology.
