During this period, we have observed several new large-scale projects being announced, entering the engineering phase, and emerging in the market. These projects are supported by new subsidy programs and fresh rounds of EU and national funding and will now proceed through qualification and FEED phases, followed by more advanced selection processes, ultimately aiming for an FID in the coming years.
Over the past quarter, we have also seen some cancellations of previously announced projects ranging from 50 to 200 MW across Europe and the United States, which had no material impact on HydrogenPro's sales pipeline. The primary reasons cited for these withdrawals include a lack of government funding, rising capital and setup costs due to general inflation, and increased expenses on equipment and construction, all of which make these projects financially unviable. Additionally, infrastructure for gas and ammonia distribution is limiting off-takers from entering into agreements that require substantial volumes and favorable commercial terms. This hesitation is further driven by the availability of more affordable fossil energy alternatives and expectations of a less aggressive carbon taxation policy in the short-term perspective.
The newly announced regulations by the European Hydrogen Bank and Hydrogen Europe, which restrict imports of Chinese electrolyzers, has created uncertainties among project developers on how to interpret unclear requirements of European content, will drive up costs for European projects and thereby further impede the development of new projects in Europe.
For HydrogenPro's portfolio of projects, whether undertaken independently or in partnership, we have observed relatively few cancellations or any significant delays, although the pace is somewhat slower than initially planned. Among targeted sectors, the Power-to-X (PtX), ammonia, and hydrogen-as-fuel segments are showing more activity than refinery or large sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) projects. This trend may be due to the substantial hydrogen volumes these industries require, combined with anticipated lower carbon taxation and the allowance of low-carbon hydrogen (such as blue hydrogen) in several major projects.
We continue to see increasingly mature and professional players entering the market across the US, Europe, the Middle East, and India. This trend has also encouraged HydrogenPro to intensify its activity in these regions by seeking strong, strategic partners to facilitate market entry.
In North America, long-term projections for green and low-carbon hydrogen production remain high. We are working towards a more consolidated market strategy through a partnership to strengthen our market presence and credibility among project developers and operators. However, uncertainty around final rules for incentive programs is still delaying project decisions and overall market development.
In Europe, we observe a steady pipeline for our EPC (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction) approach, largely driven by our collaboration with Andritz and focused on major European industrial clients. While we await final investment decisions (FIDs) on announced projects, global OEM suppliers continue to face overcapacity. Therefore, maintaining disciplined and flexible ramp-up capabilities, rather than preemptively scaling operations, will be critical. Additionally, structuring our operations to withstand extended periods of low order volume is essential so we can be prepared when projects are eventually realized. Meanwhile, our focus will be on rigorous testing and demonstration of technologies and consistent execution of ongoing deliveries.
HydrogenPro ASA had announced on 24 June 2024 the decision to invest in a new production line for its third-generation electrodes with a capacity of 90-100 MW per annum with production planned to start Q1 2025. After optimization work, it was announced 20 August 2024 that the production line will reach a capacity of about 350 MW without any additional investment needed (original investment, 70 MNOK). This has been accomplished by optimizing rinsing and drying capacity as well as improving the operational control systems. There is ongoing work for even further capacity expansions.
On 3 October 2024, HydrogenPro announced that its Danish subsidiary, HydrogenPro ApS, has been awarded a EUR16.5 million grant from the EU Innovation Fund. This funding will support large-scale production of next-generation electrode technology, enhancing the efficiency of HydrogenPro's high-pressure alkaline electrolyzers and further reducing the Levelized Cost of Hydrogen.
This EU grant is pivotal in financing the H2-GIGA project and follows a previous award of DKK 35 million from Denmark's Export and Investment Fund in May 2024. Together, these grants cover more than 50% of the project's total investment scope.
Currently, a full-scale production line is being installed at the R&D center in Denmark, expected to reach operational status by Q1 2025 with a 350 MW annual capacity. The H2-GIGA large-scale factory will build on this experience, with an additional 500 MW capacity, and has the potential for significant expansion to meet growing customer demand.
Although some projects are being delayed, the overall outlook for the green hydrogen market, which HydrogenPro operates in, is developing positively, as projects and players in the industry are becoming more mature. Especially Europe and North America show an increase in new hydrogen projects. HydrogenPro is well positioned to take advantage of these developments. As the projects are becoming larger and more complex, HydrogenPro's demonstrated ability to deliver on large-scale industrial projects makes the company a preferred partner for potential customers. Final investment decisions are still somewhat lagging, and an exponential development must be deployed in the next few years to meet the expected demand for green hydrogen.
Within HydrogenPro's pipeline, projects are maturing and developing towards FID. However, some projects may still experience delays in reaching fruition, primarily due to some funding uncertainties and the challenge of establishing viable offtake agreements. Additionally, a few projects may be realized at reduced scope or capacity compared to original plans.
For HydrogenPro, the key to success is to see more projects crossing the FID line, with HydrogenPro as the preferred partner. Securing firm purchase orders is HydrogenPro's main priority, to generate revenues and cash flow to spur further growth. The solid cooperation with Andritz in Europe strengthens our position further
The confirmed order from Andritz in November 2023 proves that the cooperation has started to bear fruits, and HydrogenPro sees significant opportunities with Andritz in Europe going forward.
Regarding the new EU regulations on electrolyzer origin, we are actively pursuing mitigation strategies to ensure full qualification for future projects in collaboration with our European partner
Lessons learnt from project deliveries in the US have demonstrated room for optimization with regards to logistics and transportation of assembled electrolyzers and gas separator skids. This, in addition to the life cycle partner strategy of HydrogenPro indicate need for assembly stations in close proximity to customer sites. Additionally, more clarity is required on US legislative frameworks and funding schemes, including decisions regarding local US content requirements.
Continuous technology development is the core of HydrogenPro's strategic priorities. HydrogenPro and Andritz will run a joint full-scale validation program in the fourth quarter 2024, at Herøya in Norway. The purpose of the program is to validate stack performance and operating conditions for the Salzgitter project including new design improvements.
In our 2023 Annual Integrated Report, several key risks that could impact the Company's business operations and financial performance
were identified. As of this quarter, we confirm that these risks remain relevant and continue to be actively monitored and managed. Below is a summary of the primary risks faced by our Company:
Strategy and Business Risk: The hydrogen production market is still developing, with risks from market volatility, client expectations, and regulatory changes. On 27 September 2024, the European Hydrogen Bank introduced new terms where prospective projects will not be allowed to source more than 25% of electrolyzer stacks—covering surface treatment, cell unit production, and stack assembly—from China. HydrogenPro is in close dialogue with European Hydrogen Bank to understand all aspects of the regulations to optimize supply chain set-up to deliver the most competitive offering.
Operational Risk: The Company is exposed to potential disruptions in its supply chain, especially given its reliance on suppliers in China.
People Risk: As the Company grows, pressure on staff and leadership increases, with risks of key person and staff turnover. The company is actively working to improve the work environment and has seen significant improvements in reducing unwanted turnover.
Health, Environmental, and Safety Risk: The Company manages health, safety, and environmental risks at its various facilities, including those in China, Denmark, and Norway, which has led to significant improvements in work related incidents and reduced risks.
ESG Risks: The Company faces challenges in meeting environmental, social, and governance (ESG) expectations, which could lead to higher costs or reputational damage.
Financing risk: the Company faces financial risks from fluctuations in commodity prices like steel and nickel, and counterparty risks. Ensuring sufficient liquidity, both short and long term, is essential to continue operations, pursuing contracts and strategic goals. Until the Company generates positive cash flow from business operations, the Company is dependent on external financing, and in the event no capital is available, the Company will meet financial difficulties to continue operations.
All of these risks are continuously monitored and mitigated through a wide range of measures, including, but not limited to actively assessing and pursuing financing alternatives, establishment and implementation of systems and procedures in all parts of the organization, approval matrices, quality control,HSE, diligent planning, information sharing, insurances, contractual terms, credit assessment etc.

The Group recognizes revenue according to IFRS 15 and applies judgment that significantly affects the determination of timing and amounts of revenue from contracts with customers.
Each contract is assessed with respect to whether the revenue can be classified as customized and in turn recognized using percentage of completion method. The degree of completion is calculated as expenses incurred as a percentage of estimated total expenses. Total expenses are reviewed on a regular basis. If the projects are expected to result in losses the total estimated loss is recognized immediately.
Liquidated Damages (LDs) are penalties for not achieving defined milestones on time. Total liquidated damages are considered variable payments in a contract.
At each reporting period HydrogenPro reassess expected variable payment and consider if any or whole is constrained. Expected variable payment is estimated based on facts and circumstances, including past performance. The Group only includes the amount (some or all) in the transaction price if it is highly probable that there won't be a significant change in the revenue recognized once the uncertainty is resolved (referred to as constraint).
The Group's revenue from contracts with customers are recognized from two principal sources: sale of electrolyze systems, and sale of engineering services. The sale of engineering services is either in combination with the sale of electrolyze systems or as a separate service, as in FEED studies.
The Group's revenue and expenses are not allocated to different segments, and this is consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker.

Estimated warranty obligations are recognized in the same period as the related revenue, or when a project is installed or commissioned. These warranties are based on contractual commitments and liabilities under applicable laws.
The Group's warranties provide assurance that the electrolyzers are free from defects and meet the required specifications. They are accounted for under IAS 37 as a provision and recorded as an operating expense.
The accrued warranty provision is typically based on historical experience and often constitutes a percentage of revenue from contracts with customers.
Due to limited historical data, the Group considers available industry information, documented product failure rates, and expected material and labor costs for the project to make its estimates.
Other provisions include provisions for settlements and claims.

In the current quarter, the presentation of the Income Statement has been modified. Previously, Gross Profit was presented as Total Revenue less Cost of Goods Sold (COGS), which included personnel and other operating expenses. Starting from the third quarter 2024, Gross Profit is now calculated as Total Revenue less Direct Material Costs only. Personnel expenses and other operating costs directly related to project deliveries are no longer included in the Gross Profit calculation and are instead reported separately below Gross Profit. This change provides a clearer view of the direct material margin.
Prior period figures have been reclassified to ensure consistency and comparability.
This reclassification does not impact operating profit, net income, or other key financial results.
We confirm, to the best of our knowledge, that the condensed set of interim consolidated financial statements at 30 September 2024 and for the nine-month period 1 January to 30 September 2024 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" and give a true and fair view of the Group's assets, liabilities, financial position and the result for the period viewed in their entirety, and that the third quarter report in accordance with the Norwegian Securities Trading Act section 5-6 fourth paragraph includes a fair review of any significant events that arose during the nine-month period and their effect on the third quarter financial report, any significant related parties transactions, and a description of the principal risks and uncertainties.
