CEO comment

2024 has continued where 2023 left off with strong revenue growth and commercial momentum. For the first time in the company's history 12-month trailing revenues exceeded EUR 100m. Key revenue drivers in Q1 24 were sales in existing markets and the introduction of revenue streams from Ireland. Group revenues grew by 164% y/y in Q1 24 to EUR 27.4m. Our European revenues increased 764% to EUR 19.9m. North American Program services revenues experienced renewed growth as Connecticut doubled its deposit rate. We maintained solid gross margins and generated EBITDA of EUR 2.7m while continuing investments in our organization, technology platform and market presence.

We exited 2023 with a solid financial position, and successfully raised EUR 26m in gross proceeds through a private placement in March, attracting strong investor interest. The capital raise has provided the Company with the necessary funds to invest in incremental market development, technology advancement, and to take on the anticipated new market opportunities ahead.

There are several new DRS initiatives in Europe, with Poland and Portugal expected to be the next two markets to go live. The EU Parliament's final vote on PPWR late April brings the EU closer to introducing DRS across the continent. The UK's late April announcement of October 2027 DRS go-live with full interoperability across the four nations is a significant step forward. As RVMs play an important role in DRS operations by ensuring cost efficient, consumer-friendly collection of empty beverage containers and clean material streams needed for recycled content in new containers, we remain optimistic about the company's growth opportunities.

– CEO, Simon Bolton

Profit and loss

First quarter 2024

Envipco continued on a strong growth path in Q1 24. Group revenues were EUR 27.4m, +164% y/y from EUR 10.4m in Q1 23. Key revenue drivers in the quarter were further advances in RVM sales in Europe.

On a product line basis RVM sales were up 532% y/y to EUR 19.6m driven by strong advances in Europe deployments. Quantum bulk feed continues to be an important product. Program services, encompassing leasing, service revenues and throughput revenues amounted to EUR 7.8m in Q1 24, up 7% y/y. RVM sales comprised 72% of group revenues with Program services at 28%.

Europe continues to be the main growth driver for Envipco. In Q1 24 Europe revenues amounted to EUR 19.9m, up 764% y/y from EUR 2.3m in Q1 24. Europe comprised 72% of group revenues, up from 22% in Q1 23. Key sales drivers in Europe continued to be Greece, Hungary, and Romania.

Revenue categories (EUR million)1

1) Recurring program services include service revenue and leasing.

Q1 24 revenues from Envipco's North American operations were EUR 7.6m. This represented a y/y decline of 7% from EUR 8.1m in Q1 23. Program service revenues in North America posted a y/y growth of 3% to EUR 7.1m, following a period of decline. The doubling of deposit value in Connecticut from January 2024 has generated positive volume effects. North American RVM sales were down 59% y/y to EUR 0.5m compared to high unit sales following the Connecticut DRS expansion late 2022/early 2023.

Gross margin development (%)

Gross margins were 35.0% in Q1 24, driving gross profit of EUR 9.6m, up 172% y/y. Gross margins were up from 33.9% in Q1 23. Q1 24 gross margins were impacted by manufacturing cost effects after capacity buildup in Q4 23.

Operating costs amounted to EUR 8.5m in Q1 24. Operating costs were up 48% y/y from EUR 5.8m in operating costs in Q1 23. Operating costs as percentage of revenue were down to 31% in Q1 24 from 55% in Q1 23, but up slightly from the two recent quarters.

Markets

North America

Envipco's operations in the North American market include RVM sales and lease activities, materials handling, and services. The company has a production facility in Connecticut. The North America core business remains strong, profitable, and stable.

Program services include materials handling, lease revenues, service income, and pickup & processing fees. RVM sales includes revenue from the sales of RVMs and parts.

Envipco is assessing further market opportunities in California as the state's DRS regulation is set to be upgraded. Envipco has developed and installed a pilot in preparation for these opportunities and remains active in business development.

The recent doubling of deposit value from USD 0.05 to USD 0.10 in Connecticut from January 2024 is driving increased redemption volumes in the state. Similar legislative processes are ongoing in New York and Massachusetts.

Europe

Envipco's operations in Europe comprise sales and service of RVMs. The company has recently invested heavily in new market development and production facilities and is showing promising growth in new markets. The European business has turned profitable after a period of initial investments and sales growth. The company generates limited service revenue during DRS startup and warranty periods. Service revenue streams are expected to build as the company's installed base increases and warranty periods are consumed. The company has production facilities for stand-alone RVMs Flex and Optima in Romania, and production facilities for large-scale Modula and Quantum systems in Germany.

In Portugal DRS legislation has been officially enacted. The appointment and licensing of the DRS operator is currently ongoing. Portugal DRS is expected to go live 2025 and Envipco is actively pursuing market opportunities.

Activity in Poland towards the launch of DRS in 2025 is on the rise. The first among several anticipated DRS operators has been licensed. Envipco is active in the Polish market with a commercial team in place and pilots in the market and are actively pursuing market opportunities.

The EU has moved closer to mandating DRS across the continent with the EU Parliament's recent final vote and approval of the EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR). The PPWR mandates 90% collection rate for plastic bottles and cans using DRS and minimum recycled content of 25% in PET bottles by 2025 and 30% by 2030, effectively driving demand for clean returns. With 14 of the 27 EU member states already having introduced DRS, the PPWR is expected to be a

catalyst for other EU countries to adopt deposit return schemes. The PPWR is expected to enter into force late 2024 or early 2025 after being formally adopted by the European Council and published in EU's Official Journal.

In a joint policy statement from the UK, Scottish and Welsh Governments and the Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs of Northern Ireland on 25 April 2024 the four governments announced a fully interoperable deposit return scheme (DRS) with targeted launch date October 2027. The rollout is defined by three phases: where the Deposit Management Organization(s) (DMO, or system operators) are to be appointed by spring 2025, the DMOs to be set up and employed with secured funding and key policies decided upon by spring 2026, and the rollout of infrastructure, systems, logistics and RVM procurement and installation in the final phase from spring 2026 through Q3 2027.

Outlook

The company's outlook remains promising with a range of market opportunities approaching.

The EU has moved closer to mandating DRS across the continent with the EU Parliament's recent final vote and approval of the EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR). The PPWR mandates 90% collection rate for plastic bottles and cans using DRS and minimum recycled content in new containers.

The UK recently officially announced go-live of fully interoperable nation-wide DRS in October 2027. These developments are anticipated to drive demand for RVM technology in years to come.

Envipco remains committed to its targeted goals and Q1 24 provides further support to these targets. The revenue growth outlook for the current year remains promising based on contracted and expected deliveries in current markets. The timing and character of DRS introduction will influence procurement patterns of retailers, and quarterly variations are expected. Envipco will continue to invest in market development, technology platform and the organization while continuing to drive operating leverage.
