The pace of large-scale green hydrogen projects progressing from announcement to engineering and market entry has slowed toward the end of the year. While new subsidy programs and fresh rounds of EU and national funding continue to support these projects, they must first undergo qualification and FEED phases before moving into advanced selection processes, with final investment decisions (FID) expected in the coming years.
During the fourth quarter, further cancellations of previously announced projects have been announced, ranging from 50 to 200 MW, whereas some also affecting HydrogenPro. The primary reasons cited for these withdrawals include a lack of government funding, rising capital and setup costs due to general inflation, and increased expenses on balance of plant equipment and construction, all of which make these projects financially unviable. Additionally, restraints on infrastructure, transportation and the cost of such are factors limiting the markets' appetite on entering into offtake agreements. At the same time more affordable fossil energy alternatives are available at a lower cost and expectations of a less aggressive carbon taxation policy in the short-term perspective prevail.
The European Hydrogen Bank has further clarified its requirements regarding electrolyzer origin. For HydrogenPro, this means we will remain fully compliant with minor supply chain adjustments, coupled with our continued assembly operations in Germany in cooperation with our partner. The fact remains, however, that these requirements are driving up costs for European projects in general, leading to slowing new project developments in the region further down.
For HydrogenPro's portfolio—both independent and partnered projects—we have seen relatively few outright cancellations but are experiencing general delays in project finalization and FID processes. Among targeted sectors, Power-to-X (PtX), ammonia, and hydrogenas-fuel segments remain more active than refinery or large-scale sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) projects. This is likely due to the substantial hydrogen volumes these industries require, combined with the expectation of lower carbon taxation and continued acceptance of low-carbon hydrogen (e.g., blue hydrogen) in major projects.
Across the US, Europe, the Middle East, and India, we see increasingly mature and professional players entering the market. In response, HydrogenPro is intensifying its activity in these regions by forming strong, strategic partnerships to strengthen market entry.
In North America, long-term projections for green and low-carbon hydrogen remain strong, though delays persist. Our partnerships enhance our market presence and credibility with key project developers and operators. However, uncertainty remains regarding the final implementation of recently released incentive program rules, particularly as potential political shifts may impact their application.
While we await FIDs on announced projects, the global electrolyzer market continues to face overcapacity challenges. As a result, maintaining a disciplined and flexible ramp-up strategy—rather than premature scaling operations—will be essential. Additionally, structuring our business to withstand extended periods of low order volume ensures we remain prepared when market conditions improve. In the meantime, our focus will remain on:
On 23rd December 2024, HydrogenPro announced raising NOK 70 million through a private placement of new shares directed at its existing shareholders, ANDRITZ AG and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Ltd. (MHI). Additionally, the company has entered into an investment agreement with LONGi Hydrogen Technology Co., Ltd., involving a conditional equity investment of approximately NOK 70 million, and a cooperation agreement.
Upon the successful completion of the LONGi investment, the combined gross proceeds from the private placement and the LONGi investment will total NOK 140 million. The subscription price for both the private placement and LONGi investment is NOK 5.50 per share, higher than the NOK 4.50 per share market price as of 20 December 2024.
LONGi Hydrogen Technology, a subsidiary of LONGi Green Energy Technology Co., Ltd., specializes in green hydrogen equipment and solutions. Its parent company is a global leader in solar photovoltaic (PV) products and solutions, listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange.
On 3 October 2024, HydrogenPro announced that its Danish subsidiary, HydrogenPro ApS, has been awarded a EUR16.5 million grant from the EU Innovation Fund. This funding will support large-scale production of next-generation electrode technology, enhancing the efficiency of HydrogenPro's high-pressure alkaline electrolyzers and further reducing the Levelized Cost of Hydrogen.
This EU grant is pivotal in financing the H2-GIGA project and follows a previous award of DKK 35 million from Denmark's Export and Investment Fund in May 2024. Together, these grants cover more than 50% of the project's total investment scope.
The H2-GIGA large-scale factory will build on this experience, with a total of 500 MW manufacturing capacity, and has the potential for significant expansion to meet growing customer demand.
The hydrogen market continues to evolve amid shifting global dynamics. While large-scale projects have faced delays, there is increasing momentum for smaller, scalable projects that align with current infrastructure and investment trends. Europe is emerging as a key driver of hydrogen adoption, supported by policy incentives and a growing demand for decarbonization solutions. While the U.S. was previously the primary market for renewable energy expansion, attention is gradually shifting toward Europe, though the transition will require time to establish necessary infrastructure and off-take agreements.
Despite temporary setbacks, the long-term outlook for green hydrogen remains positive. Several large projects that were previously delayed are progressing toward Final Investment Decisions (FID), signaling renewed confidence in the sector. However, challenges related to funding, rising capital costs, and uncertainty around incentive programs continue to impact investment timelines.
HydrogenPro is well-positioned to leverage these market trends through its established expertise, advanced technology, and strategic partnerships. Key developments include:
HydrogenPro remains a proven supplier for major hydrogen initiatives based on its deliveries to 2 of the ten largest projects outside of China. The company's involvement in delivering 42 electrolyzers (plus two reserves) for the ACES project and 20 electrolyzers for Salzgitter reinforces its credibility in large-scale hydrogen infrastructure as well as having the some of the few documented operational projects as reference.
The company is progressing toward full-scale testing of its next generation electrolyzer at Herøya, Norway. It is currently in a start-up phase, and the test marks an important milestone in HydrogenPro's efforts to enhance efficiency and performance in hydrogen production.
Several hydrogen projects are advancing through key phases, increasing the likelihood of investment approvals. While some may proceed with revised scopes due to financial constraints, HydrogenPro remains focused on securing firm purchase orders to ensure continued growth and cash flow stability.
HydrogenPro's collaborations with Andritz in Europe, Mitsubishi in America, and latest LONGi in China provide strong market positioning in key regions. These partnerships enhance the company's ability to address varying regulatory and commercial requirements across different markets.
As HydrogenPro is well positioned through partnership on three continents USA, Europe and East Asia, the energy transition and development of Hydrogen value chain is emerging in India and the Middle East. HydrogenPro is addressing these emerging markets developing foothold over the next periods.
European regulatory requirements, particularly those set by the European Hydrogen Bank, are shaping investment decisions. HydrogenPro is compliant with these regulations, leveraging a supply chain model that integrates key processing steps like electrode production in Aarhus and assembly in Erfurt while still sourcing some key components from China. This ensures that customers qualify for available financial incentives.
However, rising trade barriers and protectionist policies in certain regions could increase costs for European hydrogen projects, potentially slowing adoption. HydrogenPro continues to advocate for efficiency-driven cost reductions rather than restrictive trade measures to accelerate the energy transition.
While market conditions remain fluid, HydrogenPro is well-positioned to navigate challenges, drive innovation, and support the long-term growth of the green hydrogen sector.
In our 2023 Annual Integrated Report, several key risks that could impact the Company's business operations and financial performance were identified. As of this quarter, we confirm that these risks remain relevant and continue to be actively monitored and managed. Below is a summary of the primary risks faced by our Company:
Strategy and Business Risk: The hydrogen production market is still developing, with risks from market volatility, client expectations, and regulatory changes. On 27 September 2024, the European Hydrogen Bank introduced new regulations limiting projects to sourcing no more than 25% of electrolyzer stacks from China. Following further clarification, HydrogenPro will remain compliant with minor supply chain adjustments and continue assembly operations in Germany with our partner. However, these requirements are expected to increase costs for European projects, which poses a risk to business by potentially delaying new developments in the region.
Operational Risk: The Company is exposed to potential disruptions in its supply chain, especially given its reliance on suppliers in China.
Technology Risk: Main technology risks are non-competitive performance of our equipment and limited access to long-term performance data, with limited resources to conduct short-term testing. Until long-term data is validated at customers' sites, success relies on accurate estimates and manageable liabilities. Building trust requires competitive performance, timely delivery, and strong customer support and cooperation.
People Risk: As the Company matures, pressure on staff and leadership increases, with risks of key person and staff turnover. The company is actively working to improve the work environment and has seen significant improvements in reducing unwanted turnover.
Health, Environmental, and Safety Risk: The Company manages health, safety, and environmental risks at its various facilities, including those in China, Denmark, and Norway, which has led to significant improvements in work related incidents and reduced risks.
ESG Risks: The Company faces challenges in meeting environmental, social, and governance (ESG) expectations, which could lead to higher costs or reputational damage.
Financing risk: the Company faces financial risks from fluctuations in commodity prices like steel and nickel, and counterparty risks. Ensuring sufficient liquidity, both short and long term, is essential to continue operations, pursuing contracts and strategic goals. Until the Company generates positive cash flow from business operations, the Company is dependent on external financing, and in the event no capital is available, the Company will meet financial difficulties to continue operations.
All of these risks are continuously monitored and mitigated through a wide range of measures, including, but not limited to actively assessing and pursuing financing alternatives, establishment and implementation of systems and procedures in all parts of the organization, approval matrices, quality control,HSE, diligent planning, information sharing, insurances, contractual terms, credit assessment etc.

The Group recognizes revenue according to IFRS 15 and applies judgment that significantly affects the determination of timing and amounts of revenue from contracts with customers.
Each contract is assessed with respect to whether the revenue can be classified as customized and in turn recognized using percentage of completion method. The degree of completion is calculated as expenses incurred as a percentage of estimated total expenses. Total expenses are reviewed on a regular basis. If the projects are expected to result in losses the total estimated loss is recognized immediately.
Liquidated Damages (LDs) are penalties for not achieving defined milestones on time. Total liquidated damages are considered variable payments in a contract.
At each reporting period HydrogenPro reassess expected variable payment and consider if any or whole is constrained. Expected variable payment is estimated based on facts and circumstances, including past performance. The Group only includes the amount (some or all) in the transaction price if it is highly probable that there won't be a significant change in the revenue recognized once the uncertainty is resolved (referred to as constraint).
The Group's revenue from contracts with customers are recognized from two principal sources: sale of electrolyze systems, and sale of engineering services. The sale of engineering services is either in combination with the sale of electrolyze systems or as a separate service, as in FEED studies.
The Group's revenue and expenses are not allocated to different segments, and this is consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker.

Estimated warranty obligations are recognized in the same period as the related revenue, or when a project is installed or commissioned. These warranties are based on contractual commitments and liabilities under applicable laws.
The Group's warranties provide assurance that the electrolyzers are free from defects and meet the required specifications. They are accounted for under IAS 37 as a provision and recorded as an operating expense.
The warranty provision is typically based on historical experience and often constitutes a percentage of revenue from contracts with customers.
Due to limited historical data, the Group considers available industry information, documented product failure rates, and expected material and labor costs for the project to make its estimates.
Other provisions include provisions for settlements and claims.

The following table provides information about the exposure to credit risk and expected credit losses for trade receivables from individual customers at the end of the fourth quarter.
| NOK '000 | Gross carrying Amount | Provision for bad debt |
|---|---|---|
| Current (not past due) | 59 | |
| 1-30 days past due | 921 | |

| More than one year past due | 102 712 | |
| Carrying value as of 31 Dec 2024 | 115 292 | - |
About 95% of the trade receivables past due are related to one customer. This quarter includes no revenue from this customer.
HydrogenPro does not consider the receivable as uncertain despite the age, as it is due from a counterparty with a strong financial position, and it is expected that the entire amount will be paid upon project completion.

In connection with the third quarter of 2024 report, the presentation of the Income Statement was modified. Prior to that, Gross Profit was presented as Total Revenue less Cost of Goods Sold (COGS), which included personnel and other operating expenses. Starting from the third quarter 2024, Gross Profit is now calculated as Total Revenue less Direct Material Costs only. Personnel expenses and other operating costs directly related to project deliveries are no longer included in the Gross Profit calculation and are instead reported separately below Gross Profit. This change provides a clearer view of the direct material margin.
Prior period figures have been reclassified to ensure consistency and comparability. The periods that are relevant for comparison in the fourth quarter report are the figures reported in the fourth quarter of 2023 and the financial year 2023.
This reclassification does not impact operating profit, net income, or other key financial results.
We confirm, to the best of our knowledge, that the condensed set of interim consolidated financial statements at 31 December 2024 and for the twelve-month period 1 January to 31 December 2024 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" and give a true and fair view of the Group's assets, liabilities, financial position and the result for the period viewed in their entirety, and that the third quarter report in accordance with the Norwegian Securities Trading Act section 5-6 fourth paragraph includes a fair review of any significant events that arose during the nine-month period and their effect on the third quarter financial report, any significant related parties transactions, and a description of the principal risks and uncertainties.
