Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Information
Adding 1 GW of projects under development and ~1.5 GW of substantiated pipeline during H1 2022
Continued focus on cash discipline
BW Ideol's mission is to create a sustainable future by using floating technology to unlock the vast potential of offshore wind. The Company is executing its dual-track strategy as a co-developer of offshore floating wind projects and as EPCI (engineering, procurement, construction and installation) contractor of floating wind technology. Progress is reflected in a growing project pipeline of commercial-scale projects, new cooperation agreements and participation in tenders for floating offshore wind farm developments.
Interest in offshore floating wind solutions has increased in 2022 due to energy supply concerns and higher prices. This is driven by a normalisation of global economic activity due to easing of the Covid-19 pandemic and increased supply uncertainty created by the Russian invasion of Ukraine. There is a shared ambition by most European nations to become independent of oil and gas from Russia supported by an accelerated development of renewable power generation. To date, the Company has not been subject to any direct negative impact of the war in Ukraine.
Interest is also increasing as nations and corporations seek innovative solutions to decarbonise various industry value chains. This is reflected in two initial feasibility studies for oil and gas companies for creating a framework for power-to-platform projects in cooperation with BW Offshore. BW Ideol is well positioned to contribute to the energy transition at scale as a leading project developer and technology provider with a unique platform for execution of offshore floating wind developments.
Revenue for the first half of 2022 was EUR 3.7 million of which EUR 2.7 million was from design and engineering activities and royalties for projects in France and Asia. This compares with EUR 1.2 million, for the same period of 2021.
Operating loss before depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) for the period was EUR 2.1 million, a decrease from EUR 3.9 million in the same period of 2021, mainly due to an increase in revenue from customers and the accounting of the French R&D tax credit as other operating income under IFRS. Operating expenses included EUR 4.4 million of headcount-related costs and EUR 1.4 million of other expenses.
Depreciation and amortisation were EUR 6.9 million, of which EUR 3.6 million of depreciation was mostly related to the Floatgen demonstrator, EUR 2.2 million of amortisation was related to the technology intangible assets, and EUR 1.1 million of depreciations was related to Right of Use Assets. As a result, operating loss for the period was EUR 9.0 million.
Net financial expense was EUR 0.5 million, mainly attributed to unrealised foreign exchange losses on the ScotWind investment. Net loss for the period was EUR 9.1 million.
At 30 June 2022, total equity was EUR 105.4 million and the equity ratio was 78%. Total cash was EUR 14.1 million, compared to EUR 32.8 million at 31 December 2021. Interest-bearing debt was EUR 6.5 million.
As a result of the Purchase Price Allocation analysis conducted under IFRS3, the Company recognised in FY 2021 a technology intangible asset of EUR 59.7 million and a goodwill of EUR 25.2 million, of which EUR 13.1 million as a deferred tax liability and EUR 12.1 million as residual goodwill. Final adjustments were made to the purchase price allocation in the first quarter of 2022 within the one-year timeframe, resulting in a EUR 0.3 million increase in the goodwill balance.
Net cash outflow from operating activities was negative EUR 3.2 million during the period. Net cash outflow related to investment activities was EUR 14.6 million and includes the Company's share of the ScotWind option fee of GBP 11 million paid in April. The previous year's investments include the cash consideration of the acquisition of Ideol SA in connection with the listing of BW Ideol on Euronext Growth Oslo. Net cash outflow from financing activities was EUR 0.9 million. Net cash from financing of EUR 100.0 million in the first half of 2021 includes the contribution from BW Offshore to finance the cash portion of the Ideol SA acquisition and IPO proceeds.
In January, BW Ideol together with JERA, Japan's largest utility company, and ADEME Investissement, a French State-owned investment company for innovative infrastructure projects, agreed to create an investment company for the financing of co-development of offshore wind projects using BW Ideol's patented Damping Pool® technology. The two partners together with BW Ideol are currently in the process of evaluating an investment in the Buchan Offshore wind project and have initiated discussion with Crown Estate Scotland in that regard.
BW Ideol has no short-term cash requirement, but the Company expects to require additional funding during 2023 to execute the growing pipeline of projects under development and upcoming tenders. The JERA+ADEME investment vehicle is an example of flexible financing options available to the Company.
BW Ideol continues to execute its dual-track strategy as a co-developer of offshore floating wind projects and as EPCI (engineering, procurement, construction and installation) contractor of floating offshore wind technology. Progress is reflected in several recent cooperation agreements and participation in tenders for commercial scale floating offshore wind projects.
In January, BW Ideol AS, as part of the Floating Energy Allyance (FEA) was awarded the rights to develop a floating offshore wind farm with 960 MW of capacity off the northeast coast of Scotland through the Crown Estate Scotland's ScotWind leasing round. The formal option agreement was signed in April and FEA paid the stipulated option fee. The consortium is currently proceeding with site investigations and environmental studies in preparation for the consent application process. FEA is a development partnership comprising BayWa r.e., Elicio and BW Ideol.
In May, the EolMed partnership, comprising Qair, Totalenergies and BW Ideol, made the final investment decision (FID) for the 30 MW offshore floating wind development with EUR 170.0 million of non-recourse financing provided by the European Investment Bank (EIB) and several leading French banks. BW Ideol and Qair have cooperated on the project since 2016 with Total joining the development consortium as 20% owner in 2020. BW Ideol became a 5% owner in late 2021.The Mediterranean Sea pilot wind farm is set to become one of the first three floating offshore wind farms in France when it is commissioned in mid-2024.
EolMed will be installed 18 km off the coastal town of Gruissan and comprises three Vestas 10 MW wind turbines, each mounted on BW Ideol's patented floating steel foundations and connected to the Electricity Transmission Network (RTE) by an undersea cable. Bourbon Subsea Services has been contracted to provide the floating electrical hub, inter-array cables, as well as the anchoring and mooring systems. Once in operation, electricity will be sold to the French national grid operator under a 20-year contract at a feed-in-tariff of EUR 240/MWh.
In May, BW Ideol and Tohoku Electric Power Co., Inc. signed an agreement and initiated the feasibility studies necessary to jointly develop a commercial- scale floating offshore wind farm of up to 700 MW off the coast of Kuji city and Hirono town in Japan's Iwate prefecture based on BW Ideol's proven and patented Damping Pool® technology. This site is the most advanced floating wind project in Japan, in terms of impact studies and local stakeholder consultation. The tender is expected to be launched in 2024.
Also in May, the Company signed an agreement with the EDF Renewables and Maple Power to cooperate on the design of floating foundations for the AO6 floating offshore wind tender in the Mediterranean Sea covering two 250 MW sites. The consortium submitted their pre-selection filing to the French authorities on May 23. The application of this tender is expected for mid-2023 with the award at the end of 2023. The agreement builds on the collaboration with EDF Renewables and Maple Power established for the South Brittany (AO5) development.
The 2 MW Floatgen floating wind turbine installed offshore western France has since January 2019 produced 20.9 GWh of electricity with 94.9% availability, reflecting the seakeeping performance of BW Ideol's proprietary Damping Pool design. The contract for the operation and maintenance of the Floatgen unit was recently extended by one year to September 2024.
BW Ideol continues to selectively develop the organisation to prepare for increased commercial and project activity. During the first half, the Company strengthened its project development teams in the US, Japan and Europe.
On 20 June, the Company received the resignation of Yasuhiro Matsui as a non-executive director of the Company effective 24 June, due to his nomination as President and CEO of DBJ Securities. The Board of Directors will call for an extraordinary general meeting to elect a replacement for Mr. Matsui in due course.
BW Ideol has identified three major groups of risks, which are tied to the business and industry in which the Company operates, to legal and regulatory factors and to the Company's financial position. Some of these risks are out of BW Ideol's control, including certainty industry and market risks. Please see the 2021 Annual Report and the Information Document dated 17 March 2021 available at www.bw-ideol.com for more detailed information on risk factors.
For the second half of 2022, BW Ideol emphasises global inflationary pressure, outlook for further interest rate increases and potential for continued global supply chain disruptions as key risk factors that over time may impact the floating offshore wind market development and the execution of the Company's long-term strategy and operations by potentially affecting the maturation of future new development projects and the cost of raw materials and financing.
BW Ideol aims to be a leading long-term owner of floating wind assets in key offshore markets worldwide. The primary focus is to continuously progress, expand and de-risk the Company's project pipeline. The goal is have participated in an approximately 10 GW gross portfolio of floating offshore wind projects by 2030 by developing the existing pipeline and strong joint venture partnerships, through scaling and optimisation of the patented Damping Pool® technology, and by developing the global organisation and leveraging the partnership with BW Offshore, including in the Power-to-Platform market.
The Company considers itself to be ahead of plan for the 10 GW target based on the recent progress. The rapid global expansion of the commercial-scale floating offshore wind market supports a continued strong market outlook, as BW Ideol's teams are preparing up to 30 GW of confirmed tenders in key markets.
We confirm to the best of our knowledge that the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Information for the period for 01 January 2022 to 30 June 2022 has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" and gives a true and fair view of BW Ideol AS's consolidated assets, liabilities, financial position and income statement as a whole. We also confirm to the best of our knowledge that the Financial Summary includes a fair review of important events that arose during this period, and their impact on the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Information, and accounts properly for the principal risks and uncertainties for the remaining six months of the financial year, as well as major related party transactions.

R&D assets represent the accumulated capitalised development projects. BW Ideol is pursuing a number of initiatives around its Damping Pool® patented foundation technology including research and development of innovative building materials, mooring systems and construction methods.
Goodwill has an indefinite useful life and is tested for impairment at least annually. The goodwill was initially recognised in March 2021 as part of the acquisition of Ideol SA (see note 5) consisting of one segment "Floating wind'. Goodwill was tested for impairment as of 31 December 2021 and the impairment test also included the technology assets. A discounted cash flow model was used to determine the fair value less cost of disposal for the CGU. The projected cash flows were based on the most up-to-date forecast by management which includes probability weighted cash flows for prospective offshore wind projects using end-of life cash flows for projects identified. The impairment calculation demonstrated that the value in use exceeded the carrying amount of the CGU, thus no impairment loss was recognised.
Final adjustments were made to the purchase price allocation in the first quarter of 2022 within the one-year timeframe, resulting in a EUR 0.3 million increase in the goodwill balance.
The table below presents the results of the purchase price allocation analysis that has been prepared following the acquisition of Ideol SA (France) by BW Ideol AS (Norway) and the subsequent listing of BW Ideol AS. On 15 March 2021, BW Ideol AS acquired 100% of the outstanding shares in Ideol SA, 71.6% of the shares were acquired for a cash consideration of EUR 52.2 million and the remaining 28.4% of the shares were settled through the issuance of 5,815,240 new shares of BW Ideol AS. Subsequently, on 18 March 2021, BW Ideol AS completed a listing on the Euronext Growth exchange in Oslo of 11,655,625 shares (including greenshoe shares) at share price of NOK 47.00 by means of a private placing. This private placement share price was determined to be the fair value of the BW Ideol AS consideration shares issued as part of the acquisition of Ideol SA.
For the period from 15 March 2021 to 31 December 2021, Ideol SA contributed revenue of EUR 2.259 million and a loss of EUR 10.814 million to the Group's results. If the acquisition had occurred on 1 January 2021, management estimates that the consolidated revenue would have been EUR 2.361 million, and consolidated loss for the year would have been EUR 19.102 million. In determining these amounts, management has assumed that the fair value adjustments, determined provisionally, that arose on the date of acquisition would have been the same if the acquisition had occurred on 1 January 2021.
| Consideration/Acquisition price | |
|---|---|
| Consideration in Cash | 52 219 |
| Contribution in kind (5,815,240 shares @ NOK 47) | 27 104 |
| Total consideration | 79 324 |
Included in the identifiable assets and liabilities acquired at the date of acquisition of Ideol SA are inputs (primarily technology), processes and an organised workforce. The Group has determined that together the acquired inputs and processes significantly contribute to the ability to create revenue. The Group has concluded that the acquired set is a business. The acquisition related costs, including legal fees and due diligence fees, amounted to approximately EUR 1.4 million, which were recorded as operating expenses.
Taking control of Ideol SA enables the Group to establish itself as a leading global player in floating offshore wind. The combination of Ideol technology, operational track record and engineering capabilities and pipeline of projects with the execution capabilities focused on large-scale offshore projects within BW Offshore offers a unique combination.
The purchase price allocation analysis has led to the recognition of a technology intangible asset. As of the acquisition date, it was valued at EUR 59.8 million. It will be amortised on a straight-line basis over the remaining useful life of the asset estimated at 15 years, taking into consideration current industry experience, patents and know how associated with the technology. The fair value of the technology has been measured based on an income approach, calculating the present value of future royalty income the technology is expected to generate.
Final adjustments were made to the purchase price allocation in the first quarter of 2022 within the one-year timeframe, resulting in a EUR 0.3 million increase in the goodwill balance.

Other non-current assets amounting to EUR 16.7 million at 30 June 2022 were related to:
A 5% ownership interest in EolMed, a company incorporated for the development of a 30MW Mediterranean offshore wind farm which was acquired in November 2021 for an amount of EUR 1.25 million. Further, a loan facility of EUR 1.6 million was granted. An additional loan facility of EUR 0.5 million was granted in 2022 bringing the loan facility balance to EUR 2.1 million at 30 June 2022.
The investment in EolMed is at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) because the investment in equity securities represent investments that the BW Ideol Group intends to hold for the for long term strategic purposes. During 2021, there was no dividend income recognised and there were no transfers of any cumulative gain or loss within equity relating to the investment. In 2022, the project has developed in line with the expectations at acquisition and no adjustment was made to the fair value as at 30 June 2022.
On January 17, 2022, Ideol SAS, as a partner of the Floating Energy Alliance (FEA) consortium, obtained the development rights for a floating offshore wind farm with a capacity of 960 MW off the northeast coast of Scotland by winning the ScotWind tender organised by Crown Estate Scotland. The development right relates to the area designated NE8 in the Scottish Government's Marine Sector Plan for Offshore Wind, which is located approximately 75km north-east of Fraserburgh on the Aberdeenshire coast. FEA is a consortium comprising BayWa r.e., a German-based renewable energy project developer with UK offices in Glasgow and Edinburgh, Elicio, an experienced Belgian offshore wind developer, owner and operator, and BW Ideol. FEA finalised the development rights contract with CES in April 2022. The consortium partners financed the GBP 33.0 million option lease fee related to the development rights contract in April 2022. BW Ideol recorded its GBP 11.0 million part of the financing of FEA in 'Other non-current Assets'. These costs have been capitalised in FEA as a cost of bringing the asset to use. FEA is consolidated using the equity method.
The number of issued shares was 31,510,525 at 30 June 2022 (31,510,525 at 31 December 2021).
The Board of Directors authorisation to issue up to 2,000,000 shares (NOK 200,000 of share capital) to employees was renewed at the General Assembly meeting on 13 May 2022. As of 31 December 2021, 1,695,073 shares have been awarded under the Continuation Plan and the Long-Term Incentive Plan and subject to various vesting period.
