This past quarter unfolded largely as expected, reflecting steady strategic execution in a challenging but exciting market environment. What stands out this quarter is the momentum in our operations. We have made meaningful progress in key areas, positioning ourselves for opportunities that we are confident are coming in the near future.
In Q2, revenue was EUR 5.6 million, and EBITDA was negative EUR 4.6 million. The topline and margins in the quarter were largely as expected with positive effects on profitability from the restructuring that we implemented earlier in the year.
I am happy to see that our hydrogen refueling stations at customer sites continued to operate steadily this quarter. In the US, Cavendish has successfully opened two new stations, located in California. The Moreno Valley and Vacaville stations have been engineered to deliver industry-leading performance. Since commissioning, the stations have demonstrated strong reliability, operating at close to 100 per cent availability and already completing 3 225 car fuelings since commissioning. Also in Germany, our recently opened station in Wuppertal, together with Everfuel, has shown excellent performance operating at 95 per cent availability and completing more than 4 300 bus fuelings to date. Access and reliability are critical in building trust and accelerating the adoption of hydrogen mobility. For developers and operators, consistent high performance is essential. Regulators and customers alike demand dependable solutions and Cavendish Hydrogen is proud to deliver.
We have seen positive trends in the hydrogen mobility market recently. On the regulatory side the European Union has approved nearly EUR 1 billion in funding for green hydrogen projects across five countries in the European Economic Area. Also in the US, the Big Beautiful Bill Act that passed the Senate in July extended tax credits for hydrogen production facilities to January 2028, and provides a lifeline for green hydrogen projects. On the hydrogen production and vehicle manufacturing side, we are seeing good signals both in Europe and Asia, as several market players have announced key developments. With these trends and our recent demonstration of steady operation at customer sites, Cavendish is well positioned to act swiftly when opportunities for growth arise.
On that note, I am pleased to highlight the appointment of our new Chief Commercial Officer, Nils Jacob Haaning. This marks an important step in strengthening our commercial capabilities and positioning our organization for future growth. I am excited to welcome him aboard and confident that Nils Jacob's contributions will help propel Cavendish into the next chapter.

Sincerely, Robert Borin

Cash flow from operating activities in the second quarter was negatively affected by lower volumes, however, this was more than off-set by reduced operating expenses leading to an improvement of 70 per cent year over year.
Cash flow used in investing activities was limited compared to the same quarter last year and was mainly related to the development of Cavendish's core technologies.
Cash flow from financing activities in the second quarter was limited to payments of lease and loan liabilities, where the same quarter last year included proceeds from the capital increase and spin-off from the previous parent company, Nel ASA.
Foreign currency effects on cash at hand amounted to EUR -0.8 million in the second quarter which can be attributed to the exchange rate development of NOK and USD relative to EUR.
Cash balance was EUR 28.7 million at the second quarter end, down from EUR 34.5 million at the end of first quarter.
Cavendish is exposed to risk and uncertainty factors, which may affect some or all of the company's activities. Cavendish is exposed to operational, financial, market and climaterelated risk. These risks could occur individually or simultaneously. Geopolitical risk has risen following the outbreak of wars, political unrest, and trade sanctions. Risks from regulatory changes, trade barriers, tariffs, and restrictive government actions could impact the company's operations and results. There are no significant changes to the risks and uncertainty factors described in the Annual Report 2024 published 30 April, 2025. The Annual Report 2024 is available on www.cavendishh2.com.
The overall market sentiment is still impacted by the recent slow-down in government incentives and overall cost increases. The geopolitical situation remains uncertain, especially around global trade, with the new tariffs and customs restrictions potentially impacting new equipment deliveries to the US. These factors, among others, have contributed to a general delay in start-up of new projects across the industry, which in turn impacts the business.
Cavendish expects group revenue for the second half of this year to be somewhat lower than in the first half of the year. Although the short-term outlook is cautious, Cavendish is optimistic about the long-term potential for hydrogen fueling, especially within heavy-duty transportation.
To align the organization with the revised strategy and technology roadmap, a cost reduction and restructuring initiative was completed in first quarter lowering our cost base.
Cavendish equipment has consistently delivered improved performance, leading to improved uptime and reliability. These operational improvements in the installed station fleet are expected to have a positive impact on margins with lower operational costs.
Investment activities will be focused on core technology such as compression and cooling and application engineering to capture short term sales opportunities. Investments related to new technology development of the High-Capacity Hydrogen Refuelling Station (HC-HRS) will progress, but is expected to be minor until a customer or partner financing is in place.
With more than 20 years' experience, constructive dialogues with existing and new customers, and equipment deliveries dispensing record high amount each quarter, Cavendish is uniquely positioned to capture the hydrogen filling mobility market.
We confirm, to the best of our knowledge, that the unaudited, condensed half-year financial statements for the period from January 1, to June 30, 2025 have been prepared in conformity with IAS 34 Interim Reporting and that the information in the financial statements provides a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities, financial position and overall results of the company.

Notes to the Interim Financial Statements

Cavendish Hydrogen ASA ("the Company"), was incorporated on March 13, 2024 for the purpose of continuing the hydrogen fueling station manufacturing activities (Nel Hydrogen Fueling segment) of the previous parent company, Nel ASA.
Cavendish Hydrogen ASA became the parent of the Fueling Group ("the group") in May 2024 through an internal reorganization whereby Nel ASA transferred all its shares in Nel Hydrogen Inc. Nel Korea Co. Ltd, Nel Hydrogen A/S (the "Fueling Entities") to the group. This included shares in Nel Austria GmbH as a subsidiary of Nel Hydrogen A/S and Hydrogen Energy Network as an investment in Nel Korea Co. Ltd.
Cavendish Hydrogen ASA was distributed to the shareholders of Nel ASA on June 12, 2024 by way of a dividend in kind, through a distribution regarded as repayment of paid in capital by the shareholders of Nel ASA.
The Company is a public limited liability company listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange and domiciled in Norway. The address of its registered office is Dronning Eufemias gate 16, N-0191 Oslo, Norway.
The Company, and its subsidiaries (together 'the group') is a manufacturer of hydrogen fueling stations. The Company's core product is hydrogen fueling stations that provide fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEV) including cars, vans, buses and trucks with comparable fast fueling and long range as conventional vehicles today. Besides pure sales of the fueling stations the company offers services such as project execution, site engineering, installation, commissioning, operation support and service and maintenance for its own products.
The financial information is prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" (IAS 34). This financial information should be read together with the Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2024.
The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements are consistent with those used in the preparation of the Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2024.
As a result of rounding differences, numbers or percentages may not add up to the total.
The preparation of the interim financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets, liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the interim financial statements.
If, in the future, such estimates and assumptions, which are based on management's best judgment at the date of the interim financial statements, deviate from the actual circumstances, the original estimates and assumptions will be modified as appropriate in the period in which the circumstances change.
In the process of applying the group's accounting policies, management has made the following judgements, which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the condensed interim financial statements:
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis, considering the current and expected future market conditions.
Changes in accounting estimates are recognized
in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
The group generates revenue from customer contracts from two principal sources: i) Equipment and ii) Projects, I&C (Installation and Commissioning) and Service. The equipment and projects sales are mainly generated from standard equipment.
The group recognizes revenue at the point in time at which it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring the control of a good or service to the customer, generally this upon agreed incoterms, which is mainly at shipment. The customer has control of a good or service when it has the ability to direct the use of and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits from the good or service.
The point in time measurement basis for standard equipment has been the main method of recognizing revenue.
Most of the group's revenue stems from standard equipment, however, certain contracts requires customized equipment. Customized equipment occurs when the group is creating a good that it cannot sell to another customer without significant re-work and the group would incur significant economic losses to direct the asset for another use. Such sale of customized equipment is recognized as revenue over-time if the group has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date. The group has not recognized any sale of customized equipment in 2024 or 2023, but this type of sale is considered likely in the future.
The project contracts typically comprise design, siting, installation, and commissioning of standard product or customized equipment. They often include a standard installation service and commissioning, each assessed as individual performance obligations. Revenue recognition for equipment depends on assessment of standard or customized equipment. Revenue for installation and commissioning is recognized over-time measuring progress using input method cost-tocost.
The service contracts typically comprise service and maintenance (S&M), extended warranty, 24/7 remote monitoring, repair, replacement parts and accessories.
For separately sold service and maintenance contracts where the group has agreed to provide routine maintenance services over a period for a fixed price, revenue is recognized on a straightline basis over the contract period as the standready obligation is time elapsed.
Cavendish identifies its reportable segments and discloses segment information under IFRS 8 Operating Segments. This standard requires Cavendish to identify its segments according to the organization and reporting structure used by management.
