Q&A

Implementation of a solid HSE culture gives results

Lost Time Injuries Frequence - Last Twelve Months

Serving industrial applications and hard-to-abate sectors

HydrogenPro delivers 2 of the 10 largest projects (excl. China) estimated to come online in 2025

(Electrolyser capacity MW p.a.)

Source: IEA "Hydrogen production projects" database

Leading industry position validated by strong partners

8

A cooperation with LONGi enables global leadership

Solid partnerships enable delivery power on large-scale projects globally

Our partners provide HydrogenPro with a global reach

Committed to energy transition and Hydrogen as a key enabler

Geopolitical tensions increases risk of delayed energy transition …

… but HydrogenPro has made several proactive measures to maneuver in today's market conditions

Market backdrop

  • Market is slower than expected, leading to oversupply of electrolyser capacity
  • Increased competition from Chinese OEMs
  • Increased focus on track record, safe, reliable and documented technology

HydrogenPro positioning

  • Headquartered in Norway combined with cost-leading supply chain position on a global scale
  • Raised capital from strategic partners, at a premium
  • Strict capital discipline with postponed US expansion plan
  • Entered into partnership with ANDRITZ
  • Entering into partnership with LONGi to strengthen competitiveness further
  • Delivering two of the 10 largest projects globally (ex. China)
  • Offering well-documented high-pressure alkaline with advanced electrodes

China continues as the driving force in the renewable era

In 2024, mainland China invested more in the energy transition than US, EU and UK combined

Underlying alkaline electrolyser deliveries in 2025 and 2026 estimated to exceed NOK 50bn

Alkaline market forecast

Sources:

1) Electrolyser deliveries (GW): S&P Global Commodity Insights Update (28 August 2024).

2) Electrolyser deliveries (NOK bn): Company analysis based on S&P's GW deliveres and assumed price of NOK 3 million per MW

Despite several project cancellations in the market, HydrogenPro's pipeline remains strong

Note: All numbers exclude DG Fuels 1. Value is equivalent to €9.9bn and €3.7bn. Numbers in brackets: data as of previous quarter

HydrogenPro will meet the new requirements from the European Hydrogen Bank

  • › On 27 September 2024, the European Hydrogen Bank introduced new terms where prospective projects will not be allowed to source more than 25% of electrolyser stacks — covering surface treatment, cell unit production, and stack assembly—from China
  • › HydrogenPro fully complies with the European Hydrogen Bank's funding requirements for our European projects. Any necessary adjustments to our supply chain will be minimal.
  • › HydrogenPro currently delivers electrolyser systems to one of the largest projects (100MW) in Europe a project with significant support (€ 700 million in federal funding and € 300 million from the state government)

Superior positioning vs. other technologies

  • › Q4 revenues mainly related to deliveries on SALCOS project
  • › Manufacturing of main components completed.
    • − Electrodes to be manufactured in Aarhus, Denmark and delivered during 2025
  • › Higher gross margin mainly driven by lower ACES costs in Q4 2024 vs. Q3 2024
  • › Opex increase of NOK 13 million in Q4 '24 vs Q3'24 due to i) NOK 6 million provision reversal in Q3, ii) NOK 3 million higher professional services and other costs partly related to capital raise, and iii) NOK 4 million recognized project costs related to SALCOS
