Nordic Unmanned ASA announces Q2 2024 results

Nordic Unmanned ASA announces Q2 2024 results

30.8.2024 07:00:00 CEST | Nordic Unmanned | Half yearly financial reports and

audit reports / limited reviews

The second quarter 2024 was a mixed quarter characterized by a lower than

anticipated activity due to delayed start-up of operations in Flight Services as

well as delays in deliveries under major contracts. On the other hand we had

good operational performance, improved underlying cost performance and a

milestone achievement by obtaining airworthiness certification of AirRobot's

AR-100H "drone for defenders". In addition we have high activity related to the

ongoing financial restructuring and turnaround activities in the making. Finally

we have had changes to the Board. Importantly, we will be launching a revised

strategic direction and a new profile.

* We are launching a new profile, web and strategy end August 2024, where

Nordic Unmanned Group has rebranded to NU Group. This marks a significant

shift in the Group's identity and future focus

* Q2 2024 revenue of EUR 4.2 million (EUR 6.6 million) with YTD 2024 revenue of

EUR 7.2 million (8.8 million). The reduction is mainly due to an insurance

claim recorded in Q2 2023 and the sale of Ecoxy in late 2023

* Personnel costs are reduced by 25% in Q2 2024 compared to Q2 2023 and 23%

year to date compared to comparative periods last year

* Q2 2024 adjusted EBITDA of negative EUR 0.6 million (EUR 1.0 million) with

YTD 2024 adjusted EBITDA of negative 3.0 million (negative EUR 2.6 million)

* Q2 2024 net loss of EUR 3.4 million (negative EUR 7.1 million) with YTD 2024

net loss of EUR 8.2 million (negative EUR 11.8 million)

* Adjusted for insurance claims recorded in Q2 2023 and discontinued operations

(Ecoxy), the quarter over quarter reduction in revenue was EUR 0.2 million,

while the Group had an increase in revenue of EUR 0.2 million YTD 2024

compared to YTD 2023. Adjusted for the same elements, the change in adjusted

EBITDA quarter over quarter was a reduction of EUR 0.7 million and an

improvement of EUR 0.6 million YTD

* Q2 2024 saw lower than anticipated activity due to delayed start up as well

as project delays

* AirRobot awarded Type Certification of the AR100-H system and started

deliveries to Bundeswehr under the Mikado II project

* In the process of strengthening the balance sheet through the implementation

of the financial restructuring announced in May 2024. In this respect, the

completion of the final conditions for amendments to the Company's loan

facilities, which is a condition precedent for the completion of the NOK 23.5

million private placement, the NOK 23.5 million subsequent offering and the

EUR 5,172,414 bank debt conversion, all approved by the Company's

extraordinary general meeting held on 11 June 2024, is taking more time than

originally foreseen in order to ensure compliance with any applicable

regulatory provisions, and the Company currently expects that closing of the

financial restructuring will take place no later than 24th September 2024.

Following a completion of the financial restructuring, delivery of shares to

subscribers in the subsequent offering will take place as soon as practically

possible thereafter.

* At the end of June, NU Group was the first within Brazilian borders to carry

out an unmanned long-range flight offshore

* Stop of workorder for Tiquila contract effecting revenue for AirRobot.
