"Q1 was another strong revenue quarter and continues the growth trajectory of the company. While we are continuing to see the impact of supply chain challenges and logistical cost increases, we are countering these with pricing strategies and focused margin improvement projects. This is seen this Quarter with improved Gross Margins vs. Q4 2021. We are confident that we can manage these cost pressures over the medium term with continued focus from the team and ramping up our Romanian facility. We are experiencing significant progress within our targeted markets and wider activity both within the Europe and the US. With a strong outlook going into Q2, we remain optimistic about solid growth this year and setting a good foundation towards our long-term targets." – Simon Bolton, CEO

Revenue in the first quarter of 2022 amounted to EUR 10.4 million, up 24.8% from EUR 8.3 million in the first quarter of 2021, mainly driven by strong sales in North America (+34%). Revenue in the quarter comprised EUR 6.8 million from program services and EUR 3.6 million from RVM sales (machine and parts).
Total gross profit came in at EUR 3.4 million in Q1'22, up from EUR 3.1 million in Q1'21. Gross margin was 32.9%, down from 37.0% in Q1'21 but improved from 31.5% in Q4'21. Margin pressure from the inflationary impacts on labor, component cost and logistics built throughout the year 2021. Margin improvements quarter-over-quarter mainly due to improved labor efficiencies and cost stabilization. Whilst still in a challenging environment, cost efficiencies are expected to improve in the medium-term as the supply chain is scaled, high-cost components are designed out, logistics cost normalize, and the new Romanian facility is brought online.
Total operating expenses amounted to EUR 4.6 million for the quarter, compared to EUR 3.8 million in Q1'21. The yearon-year increase is mainly driven by continued scaling of the European organization, with new hires in Portugal, Slovakia, and Romania, positioning the company to capture share in these markets. These planned investments are critical to capitalize on upcoming business opportunities, as more European countries introduce DRS regulations.
Resulting EBITDA for Q1'22 was negative EUR 0.3 million, versus EUR 3.4 million in Q1'21 (EUR 0.0 million excluding other income). Net Loss for the quarter amounted to EUR 1.3 million compared to Net Profit of EUR 2.0 million (negative EUR 1.4 million excluding other income) in Q1'21.

*Machine and Parts Sales include sales of RVMs and parts. Program Services include Lease, Service and Pick-up & Processing revenues.
Cash generated from operating activities amounted to positive EUR 1.0 million in Q1'22 (versus EUR 6.1 million in Q1'21) including inventory buildup of EUR 2.5 million and EUR 5.1 million increase of other payables, mainly for prepayments received for Malta and North American contracts.
Cash flow from investing activities was negative EUR 0.4 million, related to capitalized R&D of EUR 0.2 million and investments in the US and Romanian facilities of EUR 0.2 million.
Cash flow from financing activities was negative EUR 1.5 million compared to positive EUR 6.1 million in Q1'21. The financing cash flow in the quarter mainly consisted of repayments of borrowings. The Q1'21 cash flow was mainly made up of EUR 7.4 million proceeds from the Oslo Growth share issue.
Net change in cash and cash equivalents was negative EUR 0.9 million during Q1'22, compared to positive EUR 11.8 million in Q1'21. Total cash holdings amounted to EUR 2.2 million per end of Q1'22, down from EUR 12.8 million in Q1'21. In addition to cash holdings, the Company has an available line of credit of EUR 2.8 million EUR.
As part of financing our working capital requirements, the company is progressing towards securing debt financing.
On 31 March 2022, Envipco had total assets of EUR 56.6 million, compared with EUR 51.7 million at the end of Q4'21.
Total equity was EUR 29.7 million at the end of the quarter, corresponding to an equity ratio of 52%, compared with EUR 30.5 million on 31 December 2021 (59% equity ratio).
Total borrowings at the end of the period amounted to EUR 5.9 million, including a second PPP loan of EUR 1.6 million, which is expected to be forgiven in Q2'22. This is compared to borrowings of EUR 8.0 million at the end of Q1'21, which also included the second PPP loan of EUR 1.6 million.

North Americas Q1'22 program services revenue increased by 22% to EUR 6.6 million compared to EUR 5.4 million in Q1'21, as effects from COVID-19 normalize and market conditions improve. Machine sales from North America amounted to EUR 2.8 million in Q1'22, up 71% from Q1'21.
Envipco continues to expand its presence in North America and expects several opportunities to materialize in the coming quarters. The Massachusetts modernization bill is steadily progressing, California has proposed USD 100 million subsidy for RVM deployment state-wide, and additional US states are expected to introduce legislation in the medium and long term.
Sales in Europe came in at EUR 1.0 million in the first quarter, down 24% from EUR 1.3 million in Q1'21. Machine sales amounted to EUR 0.8 million (-26%). Slow start in Sweden tied to customer installation delays with expectation to fully recover for the year. Malta sales in Q2/Q3'22, renewed Sweden sales and other developing DRS markets will put Europe on strong growth trajectory for the year.
Good progress is seen from the European initiatives, with promising potential going forward. Commercial activity in Scotland is significantly ramping, with important releases from system operator on handling fees and the RVM specification. Additional pilots with tier-1 retailers scheduled for Q2 and Q3 2022. Demo machines installed with Romanian retailers, and introductions to Portuguese retailers using our new showroom/office.
Envipco is continuously growing and improving the organization to enable scale and expansion in new and existing markets, particularly within supply chain and logistics. In the previous quarter, organizational investments and significantly increased market development activities were made in Ireland, Romania, Portugal, and Slovakia tied to DRS developments. The Romanian manufacturing facility was launched in May 2022, increasing manufacturing capacity by 15,000 units per year. The company is currently recruiting personnel, in Portugal, Slovakia, and Romania, strengthening the organization and enabling the European expansion.

There is pronounced increase in activity in a number of markets as a result of legislative movement, customer engagement, and the Company's specific market development plans. This activity is seen in both North America and Europe. In all cases this has resulted in specific awards, working with potential customers through pilots, or building a pipeline of commercial opportunities, specifically:
UK/Scotland/Ireland: Continuing commercial activity with Envipco now participating in final stage RFPs for all Tier 1 Retailers, orders expected during 2022. Scotland is on track for the announced go-live in August 2023, with expected timeline coinciding for Ireland. UK Go-live is still anticipated for 2024.
Malta: DRS go-live pushed to H2'22 for higher retail engagement. All shipments announced in Q4'21 have been shipped and working with our customer, BCRS, on installation and system completion.
Portugal: DRS go-live is now expected for early '24. Country Manager and product showroom in place with detailed engagement with major retailers underway
Romania: DRS law passed in the country, expected go-live '23. Market development activity accelerating, expansion of pilots with most Tier 1 retailers and municipalities with expected conclusion of some RFPs Q2-Q3 '22. Romanian manufacturing plant opened and being ramped-up.

North America: Positioning the North America business team on legislative initiatives in Massachusetts and New York. Renewed legislative activity in California tied to proposed USD 100 million introduction of RVM subsidies. Continued focus on OBCR technology agreement as aged equipment is replaced and new RVM's deployed in Oregon. Competing for new tenders tied to Connecticut expansion and other states tied to adoption of RVM's with drug and discount retailers.

ROW: ROW activities mainly include Australia. The company has expectations for further growth in the country in 2022-23
particularly with Victoria announcing DRS go-live in 2023 and further opportunities in Queensland and Western Australia.
Envipco is continuously expanding and developing in new and existing markets as they mature and DRS schemes approach Go-Live. The company is well positioned for growth in the short and longer term. The company has built a strong orderbook for Q2'22, and significant revenue growth is expected. Shipments have already been sent to Malta, additional Quantum units are expected to be installed in Sweden, and new opportunities are materializing in new countries throughout Europe and in North America.
Gross margin improvement is a key focus area, particularly following the challenging market conditions and inflationary pressures seen in 2021. In the first quarter of 2022 the company focused on reducing temporary labor and began projects to optimize product cost. Cost of components and logistics are expected to normalize over time. Envipco is continuously managing product cost, improving price levels, and working to ensure a lean and profitable business with improved margins going forward.
The new Romanian facility will improve production capacity with local European presence, reducing manufacturing costs, simplifying supply chains, and lowering freight costs as the facility is ramped up. We are growing in North America, winning contracts with key national retailers, and positioning the company for expansion. The company is continuously investing in the global organization building the right capabilities to deliver on the exciting opportunities ahead.
We remain confident in our strategy, our investments, and our ability to deliver strong growth and execute on our longterm revenue and gross margin targets. We are excited to be creating a cleaner world for future generations through our recycling technology.
