Q3 2025 | Hexagon Group

Updated segment reporting structure

Alternative fuel systems for commercial vehicles

Hexagon Group | Cash flow Q3 2025

Free cash flow year-to-date weak and negative of NOK -61m due to negative EBITDA performance and CAPEX offset by some positive working capital effects. Including other financial cash flows as depicted above, cash development (before equity and debt financing) was negative by NOK -189m. Net proceeds from equity raise in September of NOK 563m used to repay drawings on the RCF facilities and the overdraft facility. Unused credit facilities end of September 2025 was NOK 452m, resulting in NOK 534m in available liquidity as of period end when adding ending balance cash.

Hexagon Group | Cash flow YTD per September 2025

Free cash flow year-to-date weak and negative due to weak EBITDA performance in addition to higher working capital tie-up impacted by carbon fiber take or pay arrangement and some strategic build-to-inventory effects. Positive effect of earn-out from Ragasco sale of NOK 120m offset significant financial investments (NOK 15m equity investment in Pioneer, NOK 47m in loans to Cryoshelter, NOK 137m in margin on the total return swap (TRS) agreement re Purus), interest and lease payments of NOK 171m in total, and repurchase of shares of NOK 75m, resulting in a cash-burn of NOK 604m YTD. Cash burn in the period amounted to NOK 604m, financed by cap raise of NOK 563m (Sep 2025), increased drawings under the debt facilities of NOK 154m and a reduction in cash position of NOK 195m. Unused credit facilities end of September 2025 was NOK 452m, resulting in NOK 534m in available liquidity as of period end when adding ending balance cash.

Hexagon Group | Balance sheet

Compared to year-end 2024, the balance sheet is reduced due to negative profit after tax of NOK 1,044m, including share of losses and impairments of associates of NOK ~675m, in addition to significantly stronger NOK versus USD and EUR, causing assets and liabilities of subsidiaries to shrink when presented in NOK.
