Q1 2023 Summary

Developments during the quarter

Market development

HydrogenPro has seen a continuation of the high activity level from last quarter, now with an increasingly larger size (MW) per project. HydrogenPro's partnership with Andritz on 19 April reflects the outlining of a possibly bigger trend emerging, where OEMs increasingly establish partnerships, or alliances, with established EPCs in order to compete on the aforementioned increasingly larger projects.

As projects are becoming larger, the complexity and number of suppliers increases on each project. This trend can also affect the amount front-end design engineering (FEED) studies requested, as this reflects the number of suppliers chosen. It also means that bidders potentially are increasingly expected to offer an "open" solution, i.e., not bound to a specific control system.

On FEED studies in general there has been an uptick in the number of requests, which historically has been a positive sign of a project maturing and being close to a final investment decision. This is because FEED studies are an expense that is billed and entails that also the project owner must dedicate resources.

An additional consequence of the increased size and complexity of projects is that the final investment decision, and by that, the supplier selection process, is prolonged.

Apart from FEED studies, the amount of overall projects continue to outpace available funding and offtakers. An announcement of a project does not guarantee a final investment decision. It has therefore become imperative to properly prioritize projects based on expected viability.

Published Integrated Report 2022

On 31 March 2023, HydrogenPro published its Integrated Report 2022, including ESG reporting and full annual accounts. This was the second year the company reported in accordance with GRI. The report also included a sustainability factbook, with a voluntary reporting in accordance with Article 8 of the EU Taxonomy regulation.

Announced plans to establish 500 MW manufacturing facility in Texas, US

On 20 March 2023, HydrogenPro announced it will establish a 500 MW brownfield manufacturing site in Texas, US. The estimated investment cost is USD 30 million (minimum scope) up to USD 50 million (which includes an advanced electrode manufacturing facility representing a technology game changer in the HydrogenPro solution offering).

Subsequent events

Announced strategic partnership with EPC-supplier ANDRITZ for assembly and manufacturing in Europe

On 19 April 2023, HydrogenPro announced a strategic partnership with ANDRITZ to collaborate on scaling up manufacturing and assembly of electrolysers for the European market. The collaboration will bring together HydrogenPro's expertise in high-pressure alkaline electrolyser (AEL) technology with ANDRITZ's competence in manufacturing and assembly.

Increasing manufacturing capacity in Tianjin, China from 300 to 500 MW

Through a de-bottlenecking and lane optimization exercise at the facility in Tianjin, China, HydrogenPro will increase the manufacturing output by 200 MW. A minor investment cost of ~5 MNOK is required.

Outlook

The Company aims to take a leading global position in the electrolyser industry and is currently building a global presence. Through the announced partnership with Andritz in Europe the aim is to take a leading position based on the strong synergies between the companies. Coupled with the announced 500 MW expansion in Texas, US and the expansion from 300 MW to 500 MW in Tianjin, China the Company is well underway to build a well-diversified global manufacturing and assembly set-up.

With regards to the Advanced Clean Energy Storage ("ACES") project, HydrogenPro plans to complete the manufacturing of the electrolyser systems in 2023, and plan to recognize ~90% of the total project revenues of the >50 USD mill. contract by the end of 2023 - with a healthy project margin.

The outlook for the Company's services continues to strengthen. This is manifested through an increasing number of opportunities and projects within the green hydrogen space. Clients continue to mature projects and financing and move steadily towards final investment decision and thus contract awards.

HydrogenPro is attractively positioned in this market with its mature and well proven alkaline high-pressure technology, in combination with its energy efficient electrode technology.

HydrogenPro generated revenues of NOK 83.4 million during first quarter 2023, which is 230% higher vs. fourth quarter 2022 revenues of NOK 28.3 million, and 848% higher vs. first quarter 2022 revenues of NOK 8.8 million. The significant increase in revenues during the quarter are mainly from the progress on the delivery on the ACES project (220 MW). A further revenue breakdown is available in note 3.

Cost of goods sold include all project-related costs, e.g. raw materials, engineering, manhours, manufacturing costs and components delivered by sub-suppliers. Cost of goods sold during the quarter amounts to NOK 70.9 million vs. NOK 21.5 million in fourth quarter 2022 (NOK 3.3 million in first quarter 2022).

*) Gross profit of NOK 12.5 million vs. NOK 3.8 million in fourth quarter 2022 (NOK 5.5 million in first quarter 2022.). Further, the financials in the first quarter 2023 are impacted by R&D expenses of NOK 6.1 million (mainly categorized as Cost of Goods Sold) related to the validation program of the world's largest electrolyser at Herøya, Norway. Excluding these R&D expenses, the gross margin would equal 22.9% vs. the 15.0% reported gross margin during first quarter 2023, i.e. 7.9%-points higher.

Personnel expenses amounted to NOK 14.6 million during first quarter 2023, down from NOK 18.5 million in fourth quarter 2022 (NOK 9.1 million in first quarter 2022). The reduction is mainly due to an allocation of project-related personnel expenses to cost of goods sold in the first quarter 2023, in line with revenue and cost recognition on purchase orders in accordance with the percentage of completion principle.

Other operating expenses amounted to NOK 13.8 million in first quarter 2023 vs. NOK 18.9 million in fourth quarter 2022 (NOK 9.9 million in first quarter 2022). The reduction is mainly due to allocation of indirect costs to cost of goods sold in first quarter 2023 and costs related to the up-listing to the main market on Oslo Stock Exhange and implementation of a new ERP system expensed in the fourth quarter in 2022.

The increase in gross profit in combination with lower personnel expenses and other operating expenses resulted in an improved adjusted EBITDA during the quarter. An adjusted EBITDA of NOK – 15.8 million in the quarter vs. NOK -33.6 million in fourth quarter 2022 (NOK -13,5 million in first quarter 2022).

The reported EBITDA was NOK -17.1 million during first quarter 2023 vs. NOK -32.2 million during fourth quarter 2022 (NOK -18.2 million in first quarter 2022).

The EBIT amounted to NOK -22.1 million vs. NOK -37.7 million in the fourth quarter 2022 (NOK -20.7 million in first quarter 2022).

NOK 5.0 million in depreciation & amortization expenses vs. NOK 5.4 million in fourth quarter 2022 (NOK 2.5 million in first quarter 2022).

Net profit (after tax) for the quarter ended at NOK -9.0 million vs. a net profit of NOK -23.2 million in fourth quarter 2022 (NOK-22.6 million in first quarter 2022).

The order backlog amounted to NOK 648 million as of 31 March 2023 vs. NOK 747 million as of 31 December 2022.

Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS and applying the chosen accounting policies requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses.

The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and the underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis.

The accounting policies applied by management which includes a significant degree of estimates and assumptions or judgments that may have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the financial statements, are summarized below:

  • █ Revenue recognition from contracts with customers
  • █ Estimating fair value for share-based payments transactions
  • █ Impairment of goodwill and intangible assets
  • █ Fair value valuation financial assets

Refer to the annual report of 2022 for more details related to key judgement and estimations.

The Group recognise revenue according to IFRS 15 and applies the following judgement that significantly affect the determination of timing and amounts of revenue from contracts with customer:

Each contract is assessed with respect to whether the revenue can be classified as customised and in turn recognised using percentage of completion method. There are several criteria that must be evaluated.

    1. Alternative use: If the product made for a specific customer require significant cost to modify to be able to transfer it to another customer, the contract would likely meet the criteria of alternate use.
    1. Enforceable right to payment: If the contract gives the Group right to payment that recover costs incurred and a reasonable margin upon termination, the contract would likely meet the criteria of enforceable right to payment.

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 recognised immediately.

HydrogenPro use the percentage of completion method. The degree

The Group's revenue from contracts with customers are recognized from two principal sources; sale of electrolyser systems, and sale of engineering services. The sale of engineering services is either in combination with sale of electrolyser systems or as a separate service as in FEED studies. All contracts recognised in the 1st quarter are assessed to be customised and recognised over time.

The Groups revenue and expenses are not allocated to different segments, and this is consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker.
