A VERY ACTIVE QUARTER – MATURING NEW TECHNOLOGY, ALLIANCES AND PROJECTS AND INCREASING THE PROJECT PIPELINE

  • § Building pilot plant for new electrode technology in Denmark on plan
  • § Additional production capacity in Asia secured
  • § Our work with the two projects in France continues (Dunkirk and Normandy)
  • § Very active market through the quarter with several new inquiries and tenders
  • § Progressing cooperation agreements and partnerships – e.g. Kvina Energy, Hynion
  • § Several significant leads and opportunities in the US – e.g. HyDeal North America
  • § Executive team onboarded and project execution capacity being scaled up
  • § Expanding our network to Finland through agreement with ex CEO of the Woikoski electrolyser plant
  • § ISO certification process completion 2021
  • § Robust balance sheet with cash position of NOK 489.5m as of 31st of March 2021

Full scale verification of electrode technology

The acquisition of ASP was completed with the Extraordinary General Meeting on 8th January which approved the share capital increase of 600 000 new shares. Management embarked on the plans to build a pilot plating facility for full scale verification of the new electrode technology in Denmark. Management expects that construction of the new line will be completed in the 3rd quarter this year and that the first full scale electrodes with the new surface treatment will be produced before year end.

Developing competence and capacities

The Company continued the strengthening of the organization and its capacities and competences, both at the headquarter in Porsgrunn and internationally. The Company invested in increased production capacity and R&D in Asia and developed the pool of skilled experts capable of providing commissioning and start-up expertise at international locations. Since the IPO in October and until close of the quarter, the number of staff has roughly doubled.

Co-operation with Repsol

On 8th of January 2021: HydrogenPro announced a Memorandum of Agreement with Repsol S.A. and Ariema S.A regarding plans to develop joint hydrogen projects, and specifically a plan to build a 100MW plant at Repsol's Petronor refinery – subject to Green Deal funding. In May 2021 it was announced that the project will not not receive Green Deal funding. The companies continue to work together to explore opportunities within green hydrogen,

First quarterly presentation as a stock listed company

On 22nd of February: HydrogenPro held its first quarterly presentation (Q4 2020) and announced a target of producing green hydrogen at a cost of USD 1.2/kg through its world-leading electrode technology by 2022.

After the close of Q1

Agreement with Hynion

On 23rd of April 2021: HydrogenPro and Hynion announced a co-operations comprising the following:

  • HydrogenPro will supply green hydrogen to Hynion´s fueling station at Herøya in Norway, from two of its test/demo electrolyser containers
  • A general collaboration with Hynion regarding large-scale hydrogen production plants which will serve as centralized hubs for distribution to Hynion's network of hydrogen stations.

Agreement with Kvina Energy Park

On 28th of April 2021: HydrogenPro and Kvina Energy Park (KEP) entered into a cooperation agreement on the development of a significant hydrogen production facility in the Kvinesdal municipality in Norway. The plot is next to the largest electric hub in Norway, which is expected to provide access to electric power of in the range of 500-800 MW.

HyDeal North America

On 18th of May 2021: Green Hydrogen Coalition launched HyDeal North America with HydrogenPro as one of the partners. HyDeal North America is a new commercialization platform founded by the Green Hydrogen Coalition to launch green hydrogen ecosystems around North America. Each regional initiative will be built around a consortium of diverse stakeholders, including multi-sectoral offtakers, with the goal of launching scaled supply chains that deliver low-cost green hydrogen.

OUTLOOK

We expect further maturing towards final decisions for our ongoing projects. We also expect a strong demand for our early phase studies and front-end engineering for new projects currently being developed. HydrogenPro is in a unique position in the electrolyser market due to its energy efficient electrode technology which has been proven in a small-scale industrial unit. Based on these results, and results from the ongoing pilot facility under construction, the company expects to achieve a cost of 1.20 USD per kg hydrogen with power cost of 0.02 USD/kWh already in 2022 which in turn, will mean parity with grey hydrogen. The Company is therefore in a favorable position to meet the demands in a market with significant growth potential.

The Company believes that with expected awards of subsidized EU funding late this year and next year, Europe will start seeing some of the larger projects being finally and unconditionally confirmed and electrolyser production being started.

The Biden administration is accelerating plans for decarbonizing the US and the Company currently experience significant interest for green hydrogen production facilities from this market.

**) Note that the acquisition of Advanced Surface Plating has been restated in the cash flow statement compared to the 2020 Annual Report. It is no longer included in the cash flow statement. The transaction was completed through a share capital increase by conversion of debt. This is in accordance with NRS (F).

Accounting principles

The quarterly statements have been prepared in accordance with the Norwegian Accounting Act and generally accepted accounting principles in Norway.

Basis for consolidation

"The Group's consolidated financial statements comprise Hydrogenpro AS and companies in which Hydrogenpro AS has a controlling interest. A controlling interest is normally obtained when the Group owns more than 50% of the shares in the Company and can exercise control over the Company. Minority interests are included in the Group's equity. Transactions between group companies have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statement. The consolidated financial statement has been prepared in accordance with the same accounting principles for both parent and subsidiary.

The purchase method is applied when accounting for business combinations. Companies which have been bought or sold during the year are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date when control is achieved and until the date when control ceases.

Use of estimates

The management has used estimates and assumptions that have affected assets, liabilities, incomes, expenses and information on potential liabilities in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in Norway.

Revenue recognition

Revenues from the sale of goods or services are recognised in the income statement once delivery has taken place and most of the risk and return has been transferred.

Revenues from the sale of services and longterm manufacturing projects are recognised in the income statement according to the project's level of completion provided the outcome of the transaction can be estimated reliably. Progress is measured as the number of hours spent compared to the total number of hours estimated. When the outcome of the transaction cannot be estimated reliably, only revenues equal to the project costs that have been incurred will be recognised as revenue. The total estimated loss on a contract will be recognised in the income statement during the period when it is identified that a project will generate a loss.

Classification of balance sheet items

Current assets and short term liabilities consist of receivables and payables due within one year, and items related to the inventory cycle. Other balance sheet items are classified as fixed assets / long term liabilities.

Current assets are valued at the lower of cost and fair value. Short term liabilities are recognized at nominal value.

Fixed assets are valued at cost, less depreciation and impairment losses. Long term liabilities are recognized at nominal value.

Intangible assets

Development costs are capitalized providing that a future economic benefit associated with development of the intangible asset can be established and costs can be measured reliably. Otherwise, the costs are expensed as incurred. Capitalized development costs are amortized linearly over its useful life. Research costs are expensed as incurred.

Fixed assets

Land is not depreciated. Other fixed assets are reflected in the balance sheet and depreciated to residual value over the asset's expected useful life on a straight-line basis. If changes in the depreciation plan occur the effect is distributed over the remaining depreciation period. Direct maintenance of an asset is expensed under operating expenses as and when it is incurred. Additions or improvements are added to the asset's cost price and depreciated together with the asset. The split between maintenance and additions/improvements is calculated in proportion to the asset's condition at the acquisition date.

Leased assets are reflected in the balances sheet as assets if the leasing contract is considered a financial lease.

Investments in other companies

Subsidiaries and investments in associates are valued at cost in the Company accounts. The investment is valued as cost of the shares in the subsidiary, less any impairment losses An impairment loss is recognised if the impairment is not considered temporary, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Impairment losses are reversed if the reason for the impairment loss disappears in a lather period.

Dividends, group contributions and other distributions from subsidiaries are recognised in the same year as they are recognised in the financial statement of the provider. If dividends / group contribution exceed withheld profits after the acquisition date, the excess amount represents repayment of invested capital, and the distribution will be deducted from the recorded value of the acquisition in the balance sheet for the parent company.

Asset impairments

Impairment tests are carried out if there is indication that the carrying amount of an asset exceeds the estimated recoverable amount. The test is performed on the lowest level of fixed assets at which independent cashflows can be identified. If the carrying amount is higher than both the fair value less cost to sell and recoverable amount (net present value of future use/ownership), the asset is written down to the highest of fair value less cost to sell and the recoverable amount.

Previous impairment charges, except writedown of goodwill, are reversed in later periods if the conditions causing the writedown are no longer present.

Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of purchase cost (according to the FIFO principle) and fair value. Recoverable amount has been used as approximation to net realisable value for raw mateials and work in progress. For finished goods and work in progress purchase cost comprises cost of product design, material consumption, direct payroll expenses and other direct and indirect production expenses (based on normal capacity). Fair value is estimated sales costs less expenses for completion and sale. Only variable expenses are considered necessary to sell finished goods, whilst fixed production expenses are also included as necessary for not finished goods.

Long term contracts

Work in progress on long term fixed-price contracts is valued according to the percentage of completion method. The degree of completion is calculated as expenses incurred as a percentage of estimated total expense. Total expenses are reviewed on a regular basis. If projects are expected to result in losses, the total estimated loss is recognised immediately.

Debtors

Trade debtors are recognised in the balance sheet after provision for bad debts. The bad debts provision is made on basis of an individual assessment of each debtor and an additional provision is made for other debtors to cover expected losses. Significant financial problems at the customers, the likelihood that the customer will become bankrupt or experience financial restructuring and postponements and insufficient payments, are considered indicators that the debtors should be written down.

Investments in quoted shares

Short term investments (stocks and shares seen as current assets) are valued at the lower of acquisition cost and fair value at the balance sheet date. Dividends and other distributions are recognized as other financial income.

Foreign currencies

Transactions in foreign currency are translated at the rate applicable on the transaction date. Monetary items in a foreign currency are translated into NOK using the exchange rate applicable on the balance sheet date. Non-monetary items that are measured at their historical price expressed in a foreign currency are translated into NOK using the exchange rate applicable on the transaction date. Non-monetary items that are measured at their fair value expressed in a foreign currency are translated at the exchange rate applicable on the balance sheet date. Changes to exchange rates are recognised in the income statement as they occur during the accounting period.

Liabilities

Liabilities, with the exception of certain liability provisions, are recognised in the balance sheet at nominal amount.

Taxes

The tax charge in the income statement includes both payable taxes for the period and changes in deferred tax. Deferred tax is calculated at relevant tax rates on the basis of the temporary differences which exist between accounting and tax values, and any carryforward losses for tax purposes at the year-end. Tax enhancing or tax reducing temporary differences, which are reversed or may be reversed in the same period, have been eliminated. The disclosure of deferred tax benefits on net tax reducing differences which have not been eliminated, and carryforward losses, is based on estimated future earnings. Deferred tax and tax benefits which may be shown in the balance sheet are presented net.

Tax reduction on group contributions given and tax on group contribution received, booked as a reduction of cost price or taken directly to equity, are booked directly against tax in the balance sheet (offset against payable taxes if the group contribution has affected payable taxes, and offset against deferred taxes if the group contribution has affected deferred taxes).

Deferred tax is reflected at nominal value.

Cash flow statement

The cash flow statement has been prepared according to the indirect method. Cash and cash equivalents include cash, bank deposits, and other short-term investments which immediately and with minimal exchange risk can be converted into known cash amounts, with due date less than three months from purchase date.

This is based on the group's experience that APMs are frequently used by analysts, investors and other parties as supplemental information.

The purpose of APMs is to provide an enhanced insight into the operations, financing and future prospect of the group. Management also uses these measures internally to drive performance in terms of monitoring operating performance and long-term target setting. APMs are adjusted IFRS measures that are defined, calculated and used in a consistent and transparent manner over the years and across the group where relevant.

Financial APMs should not be considered as a substitute for measures of performance in accordance with the Norwegian Accounting Standards.

HydrogenPro's financial APMs:

  • EBITDA: is defined as earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, amortisation and impairment, corresponding to operating profit/(loss) plus depreciation, amortisation and impairment.

Report on Review of Interim Financial Information

To the board of Hydrogenpro AS

We have reviewed the accompanying balance sheet of the group HydrogenPro AS as of March 31, 2021 and the related statements of income and cash flows for the three-month period then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes. Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of this interim financial information in accordance with the Norwegian Accounting Act and accounting standards and practices generally accepted in Norway. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim financial information based on our review.

Scope of Review

We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements 2410, "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity." A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying interim financial information is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the Norwegian Accounting Act and accounting standards and practices generally accepted in Norway.
