Report of the Management Board

This semi-annual report of NX Filtration N.V. (hereafter "NX Filtration" or the "Company") for the six months ended 30 June 2022 consists of the semi-annual report of the management board of the Company (the "Management Board"), including the responsibility statement by the Management Board, and the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying notes. All information included in this report is unaudited.

The Management Board hereby declares that to the best of its knowledge, the semi-annual report of the Management Board gives a fair view of the information required pursuant to section 5:25d sub 8-9 of the Dutch Financial Markets Supervision Act ("Wet op het financieel toezicht") and the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements as at and for the six months ended 30 June 2022, which have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting as adopted by the European Union, give a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities, financial position and profit of the Company and the undertakings included in the consolidation taken as a whole.

NX Filtration is listed on the regulated market of Euronext Amsterdam.

Financial performance

Gross income increased by 188% to €3,692k in the first half year of 2022 compared to €1,280k in the first half year of 2021. Key drivers for this growth were an increasing number of fullscale projects that resulted from preceding pilot projects, as well as global sales force expansions and a growing number of OEM relationships, that are increasingly resulting in repeat projects.

In the Sustainable Industrial Water business line, revenues from the sale of goods were €2,073k in the first half year of 2022, a growth of 169% compared to €771k in the first half year of 2021. NX Filtration benefitted from the pilots it had initiated since mid-2020 and the relatively short lead-times from pilots to full-scale projects. We experienced strong traction with customers in, amongst others, the food & beverage and textile industries looking to reduce their water footprint and optimize their water systems in a sustainable way. Key projects included a repeat full-scale project for Ecoazur in Mexico, for whom we also initiated various pilot projects that could lead to further potential repeat industrial and municipal projects. In addition, NX Filtration converted various pilot projects for wastewater reuse into full-scale projects, for example with Cross Textiles in Turkey and Practical Water

Solutions in South Africa. For Envirogen, NX Filtration successfully expanded its previous ultrafiltration and microfiltration projects to a first dNF project for a UK based industrial client, an example of our strategy of crossselling between our various membrane products.

In the Clean Municipal Water business line, revenues from the sale of goods in the first half year of 2022 were €1,180k, a growth of 272% compared to €317k in the first half year of 2021. This growth was primarily driven by full-scale projects in Asia and North America, whereas the focus in Europe remains on realising pilot projects with leading players, with visibility on future full-scale projects. In North America, NX Filtration successfully sold its first full-scale municipal system with Delco Water to produce drinking water from lake water in Northern Alberta, Canada. Subsequently, NX Filtration worked with BI Pure Water on its largest municipal system till date in North America for a similar application. In Asia, we secured a large repeat order with PT Bayu for the production of drinking water in Indonesia.

Other income was €439k in the first half year of 2022, a growth of 129% compared to €192k in the first half year of 2021. Growth in other income was driven by rental income from a growing number of pilot projects and government grants for innovation projects.

Gross margin, EBITDA and net profit

Gross margin increased to 55.3% in the first half year of 2022 compared to 47.9% in the first half year of 2021, despite the fact that the gross margin in the first half year of 2022 was, amongst others, impacted by waste and inefficiencies related to the start-up of the second spinning line. EBITDA loss was €3,936k in the first half year of 2022 compared to a loss of €1,206k in the first half-year of 2021 (excluding costs related to the IPO). The EBITDA loss of the Company is mainly driven by investing in the organization ahead-of-thecurve to facilitate future business. Net loss amounted to €3,989k compared to a net loss of €1,407k in the first half year of 2021 (excluding costs related to the IPO and corresponding tax effect).

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 design. NX Filtration's long-term objective is to realise an industry leading 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 2022 amounted to €116.6 million, compared to €133.4 million at 31 December 2021. Net cash at 30 June 2022 decreased because of capital expenditures for the amount of €8.1 million and a negative operational cashflow for the amount of €8.4 million. The negative operational cashflow is mainly caused by the operating loss and increased working capital balances following the growth of the business.

Capital expenditure amounted to €8.1 million as compared to €2.4 million in the same period of 2020. Capital expenditures included investments in the ongoing capacity expansion at the existing locations, the purchase of land and development cost for the new megafactory and additions to NX Filtration's fleet of pilot systems.

Solvency (equity divided by total assets) is 97% at the end of June 2022 compared to 96% at the end of December 2021. The high solvency rate is the result of the equity that NX Filtration raised at its IPO in June 2021 for, amongst others, investing in the further commercial rollout, innovation and expanding the production capacity with a new manufacturing facility.

The NX Filtration organization grew from 43 FTEs at 30 June 2021 (69 FTEs at 31 December 2021) to 104 FTEs at 30 June 2022.

Principle risks and uncertainties

In our annual report for the financial year 2021 (which can be downloaded at www.nxfiltration.com/investors), we have extensively described certain risks and uncertainties, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial position and results. We believe that the risks and uncertainties identified for the second half of 2022 remain in line with those that were presented in the aforementioned annual report.

Sustainability and ESG impact

Sustainability and a clear Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) agenda are at the heart of NX Filtration's business. We passionately believe we have a responsibility to contribute positively to society and the environment.

Gross income (€ '000)

In the first half year of 2022 we further build on our externally certified dark green-labelled IPO, by obtaining a Sustainalytics rating, in which we rank amongst the 13% best performers in our global subindustry peer group. We also joined the United Nations Global Compact initiative — a voluntary leadership platform for the development, implementation and disclosure of responsible business practices – as part of our commitment to be a responsible company.

We continue to use our targeted ESG framework to address and monitor our impact along three pillars:

    1. Clean water for all: Our membrane sales in the first half year of 2022 could enable the production of 160 billion liter of clean water1. In the first half year of 2022, NX Filtration enabled access to clean water across 22 countries.
    1. Avoiding emissions at our customers: With our membrane module sales in the first half year of 2022, we enabled 1,467 ton CO2e savings during the deployment lifetime of our membrane modules, by avoiding the use of 2.7 million kg of chemicals and saving 33 GWh energy compared to conventional technologies2.
    1. Our internal initiatives: We have implemented various sustainability measures and initiatives around ESG related themes in our own operations, for our employees and our partners.

Progress against strategy

In the first half year of 2022, NX Filtration has accelerated its progress and ambition on three key strategic fronts: we upsized the design of our new megafactory, pre-empted our pilot rollout and strengthened our organization aheadof-the-curve to facilitate future business.

Upsized design of our new megafactory

During the first half year of 2022, NX Filtration started to benefit from its expanded capacity in its existing facilities. The commissioning of its second spinning line resulted in a combined total capacity of approximately 10,000 membrane modules per year3 (compared to the capacity of approximately 2,500 membrane modules per year in 20214).

In parallel, further progress has been made with the development of a new large-scale manufacturing facility, which is expected to be commissioned at the end of 2023. NX Filtration decided to upsize the design of this megafactory with a higher initial capacity and allowing more space for future capacity additions. Improvements and lessons learned from our recently commissioned second spinning line have resulted in higher capacity estimates per spinning line. In addition, to create optimal flexibility for the future, we have decided to build a larger (approx. 32,500 m2 floor space) facility from the outset. These two factors allow us to start-up with a higher

initial capacity (approximately 50k5 membrane modules based on 4 spinning lines), whilst leaving space for further capacity additions within the same facility (total targeted annual capacity of >120k6 membrane modules). Total expected capex is higher than foreseen at our IPO as a result of the larger plant design and current views on cost inflation, but estimated capex per module capacity remains in line with previous estimates.

We are on track to start the construction of our new megafactory in H2 2022. Parallel teams are working on the building, utilities and equipment. Commissioning of the new factory is expected at the end of 2023.

Pre-empting expansion of our fleet of pilot systems

Pilot projects play an important role in NX Filtration's commercial roll-out strategy. In the first half year of 2022, NX Filtration initiated 81 pilot projects compared to 32 in the first half year of 2021. Responding to strong market demand, NX Filtration is accelerating the expansion of its fleet of pilot systems. On 30 June 2022, NX Filtration had 113 pilot systems in its fleet (up from 31 at 30 June 2021 and 85 at the end of 2021). Including outstanding purchase orders for additional pilot systems, NX Filtration is heading towards 168 pilot systems in the short to medium term, on-track to exceed its previous guidance of more than 140 systems by the end of 2022.

Ahead-of-the-curve expansion of our organization

We continued to invest in our organization, expanding our team from 43 FTEs at 30 June 2021 (69 FTEs at the end of 2021) to 104 at 30 June 2022. Key additions relate to international sales, pilot engineering, R&D and production personnel. We have been particularly successful in attracting strong industry leaders, who will be instrumental in building-out our regional sales and engineering teams and establishing new customer relationships. Examples of key leadership additions in our team are:

  • Tsunenobu Katsura (former Chairman of Hydranautics), who joined NX Filtration as Business Development Manager for South East Asia in April 2022
  • Shaohua Hu (former Head of Inge DuPont Water Solutions - China), who joined NX Filtration as Country Manager China in May 2022
  • Tony Fuhrman (former Commercial Director of LG Water Solutions), who joined NX Filtration as Country Manager Americas in May 2022
  • Geert-Henk Koops (former Global Technology Leader Equipment & Systems at Suez and Technology Leader and Director R&D Membranes at GE Water & Process Technologies), who joined NX Filtration as Technology Director in June 2022

  • 4 Theoretical capacity (as this spinning line was incurring downtime with changes in products being produced and because this spinning line is also used for R&D activities), estimation based on 3-shift production and depending on product mix

5 Estimation, based on 5-shift production and depending on product mix

6 Estimation, based on 5-shift production and depending on product mix

Outlook

Driven by the strong market demand for our technology and supported by the additional equity capital that NX Filtration raised with its green IPO in June 2021, we will continue to invest in our strategic priorities in the second half year of 2022. In terms of people, we will further strengthen our organization, including our global presence of sales and engineering teams. We will also continue our strong focus on rolling-out pilot projects and converting these pilots into demo- and full-scale projects. We are well on-track to reach our full year guidance of more than 160 pilot projects in 2022 based on a pilot fleet of more than 140 pilot systems. Moreover, we expect to increasingly benefit from repeat business with our existing (OEM) relationships.

In terms of production, we will further rampup production output from our two existing production lines. In addition, we are on schedule to start the construction of our new megafactory in the second half year of 2022. Our upsized plant design will have a higher initial capacity and allow for more space for future capacity additions, creating flexibility to deliver larger volumes ahead of the original plan.

ESG will undoubtedly remain a key part of our overall mission while scaling up. NX Filtration considers high ESG standards of great importance for its long-term success, its workforce, its customers, the environment and society as a whole. The strong growth that NX Filtration is currently experiencing provides many opportunities to organize ESG aspects with the highest standards and impact from the outset.

We reiterate our outlook on total revenues of €8m to €10m for full year 2022, driven by strong market demand and our expanding global sales presence. This targeted growth is largely driven by further roll-out of fullscale projects and by repeat business with our existing (OEM) relationships.

We remain fully committed to make an impact based on our mission 'clean and affordable water for all', whilst offering strong sustainability benefits to our customers and providing an inspiring working environment for our employees.

The 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 2022 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 International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) financials Statements and should be read in conjunction with NX Filtration's Annual Report 2021.

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 significant top line growth scenario and net working capital investments as well as cash outflow from investing activities. The Company received significant funding in June 2021 by the proceeds received through the issuance of ordinary shares at its IPO on the Amsterdam Euronext stock exchange. 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 2021.

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 judgements 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 2022 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 2022 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 recognizes all its revenue at a point in time, when control over the asset is transferred to the customer.

Deferred tax assets are recognized 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 utilized. 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 carry-forward periods, available tax planning opportunities and other relevant considerations.

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 2022 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.
