"Q4 was a strong revenue quarter and anchors a new period of exciting growth for the company both in Europe and North America. We certainly are seeing the impact of supply chain challenges, inflationary pressures, and outsized logistical cost increases. We are confident that our pricing strategies are sound and that we can manage these cost pressures over the medium term. As we optimize and scale our supply chain, expand our Romanian manufacturing capabilities and logistics cost normalize, we expect improvements towards our gross margin ambitions. We remain committed to our organizational investments and in our ability to deliver on these exceptional business opportunities."

Revenue in the fourth quarter 2021 was EUR 12.4 million, 54% up from EUR 8.0 million in the fourth quarter 2020, driven by strong RVM sales (192%), in North America (DRS modernization and existing customers), Sweden Quantum sales doubling in the quarter and first order deliveries in Slovakia. Program Services also contributed to this growth, with a 14% revenue increase.
Gross margin on our Program Services business has declined as a result of increased labor and transportation related cost. With the continuing recovery of covid impacts along with future DRS modernization activities, overall container volumes will increase, contributing to Gross Margin improvements.
RVM sales gross margin has been negatively impacted in Q4'21 due to product mix, ramp up of manufacturing activity and the impact of inflationary pressures on labor, component cost and logistics. We expect meaningful cost efficiencies as we scale the supply chain, increase our Romania production capabilities and logistics cost normalize. We are confident in our pricing strategies and ability to compete at attractive gross margins.
Total operating expenses were EUR 4.3 million for the quarter, compared to EUR 3.2 million in Q4'20. This increase is mainly driven by buildup of the European organization and corporate related cost (EUR 0.5 million), along with increased New Market Development (EUR 0.4 million). These planned investments are critical to capitalize on upcoming business opportunities, as more European countries introduce DRS regulations.
Resulting EBITDA for Q4'21 was EUR 0.3 million, versus EUR 1.6 million in Q4'20. Net profit for the quarter amounted to negative EUR 0.8 million, which included an exchange loss of EUR 0.3 million. Net loss for Q4 '20 of EUR 0.1 million included an exchange gain of EUR 0.6 million.
Revenue for the full year 2021 was EUR 38.4 million, up 25% from EUR 30.8 million in 2020, driven by RVM sales growth of 125% (North America, Australia, Slovakia), Swedish Quantum growth of 74% and Program Services growth of 8%. Revenue categories over previous quarters are shown in the figure below.
Gross Margin was 34.9%, versus 37.9% in 2020, driven by (mainly Q4) additional labor and supply chain costs. Operating expenses increased by EUR 1.8 million to EUR 14.9 million for the year, as a result of investments in the European organization and developing new DRS markets.
Resulting EBITDA for 2021 was EUR 5.2m, versus EUR 3.5 million in 2020, reflecting an increase in EBITDA margin from 11.5% in 2020 to 13.6% in 2021. Current year's EBITDA included EUR 3.6m of Other Income, related to our DPG settlement, and forgiveness of the first PPP loan (Q1).
Net profit for the year 2021 was EUR 0.7 million, including an exchange loss of EUR 0.5 million, versus a net loss of EUR 1.7 million in 2020 including an exchange gain of EUR 0.8 million.

*Machine and Parts Sales include sales of RVMs, Quantums and parts. Program Services include Lease, Service and Pick-up & Processing revenues.
Cash generated from operations amounted to EUR 2.9 million in 2021 (versus 2020 EUR 0.2 million), driven by improved operating results and other income. Cash used for the buildup of inventories for 2022 deliveries amounted to EUR 6.1 million. Receivables increased by EUR 2.9 million, as a result of the high level of additional RVM sales.
Cash flow from investing activities was negative EUR 4.2 million, related to capitalized R&D of EUR 1.8 million and investments in property, plant and equipment in our US, German and Romanian facilities, of EUR 2.4 million. Cash flow from financing activities was positive EUR 4.6 million (vs. 4.8 million in 2020). This stems from the EUR 7.4 million proceeds from the Feb 2021 share issue, partly offset by repayments of debt of EUR 4.0 million.
Net change in cash and cash equivalents was positive EUR 2.4 million during the year (vs. EUR 0.5 million in 2020). Envipco's total holdings of cash and cash equivalents amounted to EUR 3.4 million on Dec 31, 2021, up from EUR 1.1 million 12 months earlier. In addition, the Company has a line of credit of EUR 2.6 million available.
As part of financing our working capital requirements, the company is currently evaluating several debt financing opportunities.
On 31 December 2021, Envipco had total assets of EUR 52.1 million, compared with EUR 38.8 million at the end of 2020.
Total equity was EUR 30.8 million at the end of the year, corresponding to an equity ratio of 59%, compared with EUR 21.0 million on 31 December 2020 (54% equity ratio).
Total borrowings at the end of the period amounted to EUR 7.1 million, including a PPP loan for an amount of EUR 1.6 million, which is expected to be forgiven in Q1 or Q2 2022, compared to borrowings of EUR 8.8 million at the end of 2020, which included a EUR 1.5 million PPP loan forgiven in Q1 2021.

North Americas Q4 program services revenue increased by 13% to EUR 6.7 million compared to EUR 5.9 million in Q4'20, as covid impacted activity normalizes. North Americas machine sales of EUR 2.8 million in Q4 '21 was up 231% from Q4'20.

Envipco continues to expand its presence in North America and expects several opportunities to materialize going forward. The Massachusetts expansion for water is steadily progressing, and the National Bottle bill is gaining increasing support throughout the country. Further US states are expected to introduce legislation in the medium to long term, and a revamp of the deposit scheme in Quebec is anticipated.
For the full year sales in Europe reached EUR 7.2 million, up from EUR 4.1 million in 2020. Machine sales grew by 90% in the period reaching EUR 5.8 million, while services income increased by 42% to EUR 1.4 million.

In the previous quarter, organizations have been established in Ireland, Portugal and Slovakia. The company is currently recruiting personnel, including additions to the Europe based management team and sales organizations in new countries.

The company has launched initiatives for a Global ERP system.

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 H1'22. Q4'21 saw an important milestone, with installation of several innovative kiosk designs based on retailer collaboration. Scotland officially announced DRS go-live in August 2023, a delay from the consensus expectation of go-live in early 2023. UK Go-live is anticipated for '24. Irish business unit formed with dedicated manager now in place and pilot installations have begun, expected go-live in Ireland H2'23.
Malta: Confirmed award of BCRS tender following a highly competitive RFP for RVM deployment across the country. A key consideration was the strength of Envipco's technology where all platforms will be deployed (Flex, Ultra, Optima and Quantum).
Portugal: DRS go-live now expected for '23. Country Manager and product showroom in place with detailed engagement with major retailers underway, and formal RFP with largest retailer expected '22.
Romania: DRS law passed in the country, expected go-live '23. Market development activity now accelerating, expansion of pilots with most Tier 1 retailers. Active participation in Municipality events, including the international Green City forum & conference (Formulor Oraselor Verdi) in Brasov with a very successful pilot.

North America: Continuing to expand in North America and competing for final open tenders related to Connecticut expansion opportunity . OBCR technology agreement in Oregon for new RVM placements and replacement of aged equipment. Massachusetts expansion bill gaining traction. National bottle bill under consideration with aluminum industry support. Expectations for Quebec to revamp deposit scheme, and California to introduce revised legislation in the medium term. New York legislation introduced to expand bottle bill and increase deposit value from \$.05 to \$.10.

ROW: ROW activities mainly include Australia where the company recommenced revenue in Q1 2021 with its first shipment in nearly two years to our partner, Envirobank. 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.
The company expects continued growth along with strong order growth in 2022 from new DRS markets in Europe which will be delivered as revenue in 2023 as those schemes 'go-live'. This is in addition to continued growth and development of the North American business. Gross Margin improvement is a focus for service operations and the supply chain as the company's base scales to meet future demand. The company is building the right organization to deliver on the exciting opportunities ahead.
We are confident in our strategy, our investments, and our ability to execute in delivering strong growth and financial performance in the future. We are excited to be creating a cleaner world for future generations through our recycling technology.
