I. Highlights

Quarterly highlights

Setting a new industry standard

  • The initial test of the world's largest high-pressure alkaline electrolyser at the Herøya Industrial Park located in Porsgrunn, Norway is completed
  • Our single 5,5 megawatt (MW) electrolyser has been validated to produce 1,100 Nm3/h hydrogen at normal current density. This equals 100 kg of pure green pressurised hydrogen per hour, which sets a new standard for the industry
  • The test provides proof-of-concept that our electrolyser and gas separator technologies will produce hydrogen on a large scale
  • Further testing to optimise electrolyser efficiency on-going

HQ and test center at Herøya, Porsgrunn

HydrogenPro has grown >10x since IPO (October 2020)

1) As of 7 February 2023

Strong foundation for further growth

Key priorities 2023

Final verification of 3rd Gen electrode

1) Advanced Clean Energy Storage

FEED study near completion at DG Fuels project in Louisiana - Final Investment Decision (FID) expected in 2023

  • alkaline electrolysers for DG Fuels' plant in Louisiana
  • 9• HydrogenPro is chosen as the supplier for high-pressure • HydrogenPro's contract with DG Fuels is worth >USD 500 million, excluding life cycle services
  • DG Fuels has sold out 100% of the expected initial production at the Louisiana plant in the US >\$50m

Progressing on delivery to ACES1 project: the world's largest green hydrogen energy hub

  • 220 MW electrolysis plant
  • HydrogenPro has also signed a 10-year service and support agreement
  • The Advanced Clean Energy Storage Hub will use renewable energy sources
  • HydrogenPro will complete the manufacturing of the electrolyser systems in H2 2023, followed by on-site work with completion in late 2024

Current footprint – building a global brand

II. Financials

Q4 2022 financials

(NOK mill)

  • Q4 2022 results impacted by R&D expenses (through increased COGS), organisational build-up to deliver on purchase orders and COVID-19 measures in China
  • Step-up in revenue recognition from Q1 2023 of the ACES2 project (> USD 50 mill. contract value for HydrogenPro)
  • Re-iterating guidance: HydrogenPro plan to recognise ~90% of the ACES project revenues by the end of 2023 with a positive margin impact
  • Change in backlog is mainly impacted by negative FX fluctuations of NOK 76 mill. and recognised revenues of NOK 26 mill.

1) Excl. non-cash impact of incentive program.

2) Advanced Clean Energy Storage 13

Q4 2022 financials (cont.)

(NOK mill)

• Build-up of inventory of NOK 34 mill during the quarter for manufacturing on awarded purchase orders

14 Breakdown: increase in inventory (NOK -34 mill.), increase in accounts payables (NOK 15 mill.), increase in accounts receivables (NOK -17 mill.), agio/disagio (NOK -9 mill.), other (NOK 2 mill.).

Focused investment plan to scale up globally and generate industry-leading returns

Focused capital deployment plan Main short-term cash flow items

  • Global manufacturing & assembly capacity
  • Technology and innovation front-runner
  • Scale-up of the organisation
  • Working capital on large-scale projects

  • Q1 2023: working capital to deliver on purchase orders

  • Payments received in line with manufacturing progress
  • R&D expenses and scale-up of organisation
  • Growing presence in the US and Europe

Adequate cash position at current activity level

III. Becoming #1 provider of largescale green hydrogen plants

Four strategic pillars to become #1 provider of large-scale green hydrogen plants

Technology Leader

HydrogenPro's 3 rd Gen electrode technology increases efficiency and reduces OPEX

Increased momentum for green hydrogen in the US

US Congress passed the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) August 12, 2022

Wind/solar/hydro power is a pre-requisite to maximise tax credit

High-pressure alkaline or PEM electrolysis

IRA boosts demand for clean hydrogen1

Low carbon hydrogen2 final energy demand by end use (million metric tons per year)

Tax incentives and clean H2 demand makes HydrogenPro's high-pressure alkaline electrolysers attractive for US market

Expanding our presence

Pillars of HydrogenPro's global fabrication strategy:

  • Develop organisational flexibility to serve each individual region
  • HydrogenPro, JVs, licensing, other partnership models
  • Dynamic, flexible supply chain and logistics
  • Develop local supply chains, secure service and aftersales, reduce cost from shipping, tolls and fees, and secure national political support
  • Currently preparing expansion of footprint in Europe, North America and MENA

Electrolysis capacity target of >5 GW p.a. within five years

Fabrication facility for electrodes in Denmark

Tianjin factory (300MW capacity)

= Factory established

= In preparation

A scalable and flexible business model combined with a scalable and modular product offering

Life cycle model increases recurring revenues

IV. Summary

Q4 2022 - Executive summary

Backlog of NOK 747 mill.

Offtake agreements on entire volume for DG Fuels' SAF plant in Louisiana secured. Estimated FID in 2023 - value to HydrogenPro is >USD 500 million

Global electrolysis capacity target of >5 GW p.a. within five years

Significant up-lift in revenues from ACES1 project, starting from Q1 2023
