Tom van Aken, Chief Executive Officer of Avantium, said: "2025 was a challenging and turbulent year for Avantium, but one that I believe has laid an important foundation for future commercial success. We made significant progress in the phased start-up of our FDCA Flagship Plant in Delfzijl, an essential step toward
avantium
Press Release | 2
bringing our plant-based polymer PEF, marketed as releaf®, to market. At the same time, construction-related issues and the resulting delays required significant financial discipline, substantial additional financing, and some tough organizational decisions.
We strengthened our financial position through essential short-term financings, amendment of our debt financing conditions and a successful equity raise of €85 million, reflecting strong confidence from both new and longstanding investors, including the Dutch State. By year-end, the first half of the Flagship Plant had been commissioned and was operational, giving us a clear line of sight to completing start-up in 2026 and moving into commercial-scale production.
We also enhanced the broader foundations of our PEF strategy. We expanded our commercial pipeline, advanced licensing discussions, and secured important regulatory and recycling approvals in Europe and Japan. These achievements further reinforce PEF's potential as a high-performance, circular and plant-based alternative to fossil-based plastics.
As we enter 2026, we do so with renewed focus and optimism. With the support of our partners and shareholders, the talent and dedication of our teams, and the global shift toward renewable and circular materials, I am confident that Avantium is well positioned for a transformative year. We remain committed to creating value for our shareholders by delivering on the promise of releaf® and leading the transition to a fossil-free chemical industry."
Outlook
Start-up activities at the FDCA Flagship Plant continue to progress. The utilities and sugar-dehydration (SDH) unit started-up in the second half of 2025. During last year's commissioning of the oxidation and purification units, construction-related quality issues were identified in certain titanium welds, posing a safety risk. The resulting weld repair program is advancing according to plan, providing a solid foundation for the remaining start-up steps. Once the repair program is completed, the oxidation and purification units will be started up. Avantium expects to complete start-up by mid-2026 and begin product sales under existing offtake agreements in the second half of the year.
Avantium is assessing its options to potentially secure compensation from contractors and suppliers for the cost increases and delays, while, in parallel, continuing discussions as part of the ongoing close-out process.
As communicated in the 2025 half-year results press release, the Company expects to receive additional funding of approximately €20 million from a government-related investment initiative (which does not pertain to the €15 million equity investment provided by the Dutch Ministry of Climate Policy and Green Growth in September 2025), subject to the required governmental procedures and approvals. Originally anticipated as a follow-on to the September 2025 equity raise, the timeline has shifted due to extended governmental procedures and approval processes.
Avantium Renewable Polymers continues to further develop commercial traction by pursuing additional offtake agreements and capacity reservations for FDCA and PEF. The business is also in active discussions with partners worldwide to explore licensing opportunities and develop projects to produce FDCA and PEF on an industrial scale across the globe.
In line with its focus on commercializing FDCA and PEF, Avantium is evaluating strategic alternatives for its other business activities. Avantium is seeking external funding to spin out Volta Technology as a stand-alone business, with Avantium retaining a (minority) shareholding, and is similarly exploring spin-out options for Dawn Technology® and Parana Technology. After deciding to discontinue investments in Ray Technology®, the Company continues to explore strategic options for this platform, including a potential sale of the technology (IP). Avantium R&D Solutions continues to operate as a stand-alone entity while strategic alternatives are evaluated.

Financial Performance
The Avantium 2025 financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. Avantium's ability to continue as a going concern is contingent on several factors, including the successful completion of commissioning, start-up, and start of commercial production at the FDCA Flagship Plant as of mid-2026; compliance with conditions and undertakings under the existing Debt Financing Facilities; achievement of FDCA Flagship Plant product sales income and milestone payments from license agreement engagements in the second half of 2026; securing additional funding from a government-related investment initiative; the satisfactory conclusion of the ongoing discussions with Worley concerning the close-out of the construction phase of the FDCA Flagship Plant; and the successful execution of strategic options for the non-core technology assets and related cost management. Despite the material uncertainty regarding the Company's going concern, management believes it is appropriate to prepare Avantium's consolidated financial statements for the period ended 31 December 2025 using the going concern assumption.
Income Statement
In 2025, Avantium's consolidated revenue declined by 31% to €14.6 million (2024: €21.0 million). This decrease was primarily driven by a reduction in revenues at Avantium Renewable Polymers following the suspension of revenue recognition under the license agreement with Origin Materials in July 2024. Revenues at Avantium R&D Solutions fell by 6%, due to temporary machine capacity issues in the first half of the year; these were resolved in the second half, after which operations returned to full capacity.
Government grant income decreased by 26% to €3.4 million, mainly due to fewer FTE-eligible hours following cost-saving measures.
Net operating expenses totalled €54.1 million in 2025, down €4.8 million from 2024 (€58.9 million). This reduction was mainly driven by cost-saving measures that reduced expenses incurred in the ordinary course of the Company's operations in 2025, including operating and commercial support costs.
Avantium's net loss for 2025 was €27.1 million (FY 2024: €32.6 million).

Balance Sheet and Financial Position
The balance sheet as of 31 December 2025 increased to €356.2 million in 2025 (31 December 2024: €288.6 million), mainly as a result of the investment in the FDCA Flagship Plant and the capitalization of the borrowing cost.
Avantium's cash position (including restricted cash) at 31 December 2025 was €57.5 million (31 December 2024: €23.9 million). During 2025, Avantium's cash position increased primarily due to the successful equity raise completed in the summer of 2025. In June, Avantium secured €10 million in short-term financing from the Province of Groningen and its senior lender consortium, followed in July by an additional €10 million bridge loan

Press Release | 4
from Invest-NL. In August, the Company agreed an amended and extended Debt Financing Facilities with its lenders. In September, Avantium completed an €84.8 million equity raise, significantly above the initial €65 million target, supported by a €15 million investment from the State of the Netherlands. Together with strict cost controls and a Company reorganization impacting approximately 40 positions, this additional capital strengthened Avantium's financial position. The cash outflow for the year was mainly driven by operating expenses, capital expenditure relating to the FDCA Flagship Plant and interest payments.
The net cash outflow from operating, investing, and financing activities was €61.4 million in 2025 (FY 2024: €106.1 million).
The working capital movement of €7.4 million includes grants payables for work to be performed under grant programs and trade payables relating to the FDCA Flagship Plant.

Performance by Business Area
Avantium Renewable Polymers
Avantium Renewable Polymers' YXY® Technology produces FDCA, the essential building block for the plant-based plastic PEF, marketed under the brand name releaf®. The Company is currently starting-up the world's first commercial FDCA plant, which is expected to enable sales under the offtake agreements in the second half of 2026. This FDCA Flagship Plant marks a critical milestone in executing Avantium's PEF commercialisation strategy and its broader YXY® Technology licensing ambitions.

Avantium Renewable Polymers navigated a challenging 2025, marked by construction-related setbacks at the FDCA Flagship Plant in Delfzijl. The year began with the initial commissioning of the plant, aimed at delivering the first PEF to customers by year-end. During the year, the utilities and the sugar dehydration (SDH) unit were commissioned and started-up. In the SDH unit, high-fructose syrup is converted into MMF

(methoxymethylfurfural), an essential intermediate in the FDCA/PEF production process, with the first MMF now being shipped to the pilot plant in Geleen for further conversion. In the summer, during commissioning of the oxidation and purification units, construction-related quality issues were identified in certain titanium welds, representing a safety risk for start-up and operations. Resolving these defects required a comprehensive repair program, which extended the commissioning phase and delayed the overall start-up schedule. Despite these challenges, the weld repair program is progressing according to plan, and start-up activities for the oxidation and purification units are underway. Full start-up is now anticipated by mid-2026, enabling sales under existing offtake agreements in the second half of the year.
In early 2026, the Flagship Plant furthermore achieved certification for ISO 14001 (Environmental Management), ISO 45001 (Occupational Health & Safety Management) and ISO 9001 (Quality Management) for the production of intermediate chemicals used in the production of FDCA. Achieving all three certifications underscores Avantium's commitment to responsible operations: minimizing environmental impact, ensuring a safe and healthy workplace, and delivering consistent, high-quality performance across its activities.
While the funding activities and start-up delays slowed the progress of Avantium Renewable Polymers, the business made strong progress in developing the global PEF value chain. Avantium expanded its offtake network, with 21 offtake agreements now signed.
Discussions with potential licensees for industrial-scale FDCA plants are ongoing. The Company formed a strategic alliance with Tereos and LVMH's environmental R&D division, LMVH GAIA, to support the scale-up of PEF production across Europe. Building on the longstanding collaboration within the PEFerence consortium, this new consortium intends to widen its partnership base by bringing in additional strategic partners to build and operate Europe's first industrial-scale facility based on Avantium's proprietary YXY® Technology. This will form an important pillar of Avantium's licensing strategy in the region. Avantium furthermore secured new capacity reservation agreements with companies such as Amcor Rigid Packaging, BIOVOX, Royal Hordijk, Logoplaste and, in early 2026, Packamama. These multi-year commitments give customers preferred access to future FDCA/PEF production volumes from licensed plants, pre-allocating output before facilities are built. Total capacity reservations now exceed 100 kilotonnes, effectively fully booking a 100-kilotonnes licensed facility and supporting the development of multiple licensed plants.
Across the broader value chain, Avantium secured several key regulatory and recycling approvals in 2025. RecyClass (the European non-profit initiative dedicated to advancing plastics circularity) confirmed that PET/PEF multilayer bottles are recyclable in Europe, while later in the year the Council for PET Bottle Recycling (CPBR) approved the use of PEF in a multilayer PET/PEF bottle for recycling within Japan's PET bottle stream. FDCA was also added to Japan's 'Positive List' for food-contact applications, strengthening Avantium's position in this important market. In addition, far-reaching policies such as the EU Bioeconomy Strategy and the forthcoming Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) create a favourable policy environment, helping to support Avantium to deliver on its commercial potential and play a central role in Europe's transition to a circular bioeconomy.
Avantium R&D Solutions
Avantium R&D Solutions provides R&D solutions in the field of sustainable chemistry and is the leading provider of advanced catalyst testing technology and services to accelerate catalyst R&D.

key customer. With the chemical industry under pressure and demand for sustainable chemistry solutions subdued, progress in several focus areas slowed. Although Avantium R&D Solutions continued its collaboration with Climeworks, including the sale of an additional direct air capture (DAC) unit, the R&D Solutions business unit decided to halt further investment in green hydrogen due to challenging market conditions.
Despite these headwinds, the business saw positive traction in its Flowrence® activities, with stronger order intake and execution. In 2025, 48% of Flowrence® revenue came from sustainable chemistry applications. The team also completed a new Flowrence® unit with parallel trains of reactors in series, which is mechanically complete and scheduled for start-up in 2026, and has already attracted strong customer interest.
Volta Technology
In 2025, Volta Technology, the carbon capture and utilization (CCU) platform, focused on strengthening partnerships across the value chain, including CO₂ feedstock suppliers. At the same time, Volta Technology expanded market development for its products, including the fossil-free, recyclable biopolymer PLGA (polylactic co-glycolic acid) and high-purity glycolic acid for personal-care applications. The Volta team also advanced its technology through the WaterProof, HICCUPS and ICO2NIC programs, with the next-generation WaterProof container unit nearing completion for shipment in early 2026.
Now proven in both laboratory settings and larger-scale container units, Volta Technology is ready to be scaled-up to a pilot plant. The Volta team is in discussions with strategic and financial partners to further develop the technology, advance its commercialization, and realize the full potential of the Volta platform.
Dawn Technology®
In 2025, Avantium advanced the development of Dawn Technology® as a promising solution for recycling waste polyester-cotton textiles. Testing throughout the year confirmed that the process can convert polycotton waste into glucose and chemically recyclable PET, while also effectively removing elastane, even from twisted PET-elastane yarns. This strengthens the technology's relevance for both the textile recycling sector and Avantium's wider strategy, as the resulting glucose can serve as a second-generation feedstock for FDCA. Building on these results, Avantium has begun engaging with strategic and financial partners to help support the next stage of the Dawn Technology® development.
Parana Technology
Parana Technology enables new and simpler pathways to synthesize several families of renewable, high-performance polyesters using commercially available monomers and assets. These include oxalic-acid-based PISOX polyesters, which combine strong sustainability credentials with properties such as marine degradability and a carbon-negative footprint. In 2025, the team made good progress in scaling four classes of renewable polyesters and continued application testing with partners including LEGO and a major cosmetics brand. With growing global interest in bio-based polymers, Avantium intends to spin out Parana Technology as a separate business, retaining a minority shareholding.
Ray Technology®
In 2023, Avantium put investments in Ray Technology® on hold to focus on the commercialization and licensing of FDCA and PEF. Avantium continues to explore strategic options for Ray Technology®, including a potential sale of the IP.
Safety, Patents and Organization
Safety
Safety remains a top priority for the Company. In 2025, Avantium maintained its strong safety performance, with no fatalities or serious injuries reported, consistent with 2024.

Patents
Avantium holds 179 patent families. Last year, 9 new patents were granted: YXY® Technology (3), Volta Technology (2), Dawn Technology™ (1), and Parana Technology (3). Avantium’s IP strategy is fully aligned with its technology roadmap.
Organization
To ensure continued financial resilience and maintain disciplined cost management, the Company undertook a comprehensive review of its cost base in 2025. As part of this process, a company-wide reorganization was carried out to align the organization with Avantium’s transition from an R&D-focused enterprise to one centred on commercial and manufacturing activities. This reorganization, which was completed in December 2025, resulted in the termination of approximately 40 positions across all business units and departments, with a particular concentration in R&D.
Boudewijn van Schaik resigned as CFO and member of the Management Board, effective 9 May 2025. Bert Cornelese served as interim CFO from 1 April 2025, followed by René Ploegsma, who assumed the interim CFO role in August 2025. This morning, the Company announced the nomination of Rogier van Wijk as its new Chief Financial Officer, effective 1 May 2026. His appointment to the Management Board will be proposed at the AGM on 12 May 2026. Rogier van Wijk is an experienced finance executive with more than 25 years of international leadership across corporate finance, M&A, investor relations and business transformation.
Michelle Jou has notified the Company of her decision to resign as Supervisory Board member due to personal reasons, effective 31 March 2026. The Supervisory Board is initiating a selection process to identify a successor. The Supervisory Board will nominate Nils Björkman for re-appointment as a member of the Supervisory Board for a second term, starting from the close of the upcoming AGM until the close of the AGM in 2030.
Events occurring since 31 December 2025
In January 2026, Avantium provided an update on the start-up of its FDCA Flagship Plant in Delfzijl. This followed the identification of construction-related quality issues in certain titanium welds during commissioning of the oxidation and purification units, representing an unacceptable safety risk for start-up and operations. These issues, prompting additional inspections and requiring additional remediation work, resulted in approximately €7.0 million in additional capital expenditure. In December 2025, these inspections had clarified the scope of the required remediation work. The implications for the project schedule were assessed thereafter and finalized in January 2026, resulting in a revised expectation that start-up will be completed by mid-2026, with sales under the existing offtake agreements commencing in the second half of 2026.
Avantium classified its borrowings under the Debt Financing Facilities as current liabilities at 31 December 2025, as the start-up timeline of the FDCA Flagship Plant had shifted and the Plant was still in the commissioning and start-up phase at year-end. The transition to operational insurance could therefore not yet be completed while the lenders’ documentation continued to reflect the original insurance-covenant timing. Although the matter had already been raised with the lenders in December 2025, the deferral of the insurance-covenant deadline was granted only after the reporting date, making it a non-adjusting event that does not change the classification at year-end.
On 18 March 2026, the Company also announced the nomination of Rogier van Wijk as its new Chief Financial Officer, effective 1 May 2026.
