As we close the first quarter of 2025, I want to share an update on the progress we have made and the challenges we are navigating. This quarter has been one of adaptation, as we work to position Cavendish Hydrogen for long-term success.
In Q1 we implemented cost saving- and restructuring measures, reducing our workforce with approx. 37 per cent. The cost-saving benefits of the restructuring will start to show in Q2, but a significant one-off cost of EUR 2.3 million was taken already in Q1 to implement the changes. While it has been a tough process to say goodbye to talented friends and colleagues, it is essential to preserve cash and to ensure long term operational ability, keeping Cavendish well-prepared for the future market opportunities.
In terms of operations, we have seen positive developments this quarter. We successfully delivered a hydrogen refueling station in Wuppertal, Germany, for Everfuel. The Wuppertal station provides fueling for more than 20 buses daily, with a capacity of approx. 1000 kg of hydrogen per day. In Q1 we also handed over our first hydrogen fueling station in Canada. The station has been well-received by our customer HTEC and the city of Vancouver, and is an important step in our global expansion. Another big milestone was the start up and successful testing of our first station delivered to a major US customer in California. This delivery highlights the continued interest and potential in the North American market. Together, these milestones show proof of Cavendish Hydrogen's track record of delivering reliable technology and equipment for hydrogen fueling internationally.
Despite the operational successes, Q1 order intake has been lower than anticipated. The current uncertainty in market conditions persist, particularly in the US. New orders for hydrogen stations continue to take longer time to close, but we see several opportunities in the European market where our existing products are a good fit.
As we move forward, our focus remains on delivering stations and services according to commitment, while continuing to engage with existing and new customers. We are dedicated to being a long-term partner for our customers, adapting to their needs and providing reliable, high-quality solutions.
Looking ahead, we expect Q2 to be similar to Q1 in terms of revenue. However, we have a cautious market outlook for the second half of 2025. With the continued low order intake, we anticipate that the second half of this year will see lower revenues compared to the first half of the year.
The long-term potential for hydrogen fueling infrastructure remains strong, and we are confident that Cavendish Hydrogen is well-positioned for future success. We remain committed to providing reliable solutions and focusing on long-term value creation for our customers and shareholders.
Thank you to our employees, shareholders, and partners for your continued support. We are optimistic about the future and the opportunities ahead as we work together to drive the transition to a more sustainable future.

Sincerely, Robert Borin

Cavendish Hydrogen ASA ("Cavendish") reported revenue of EUR 3.7 million in the first quarter 2025, down 62 per cent from the first quarter 2024 (Q1 2024: EUR 9.7). In the prior-year period, a oneoff cash payment of EUR 3.7 million was received following the termination of a supply contract with Nikola. Adjusted for this one-off effect, the yearover-year decrease in revenue was 38 per cent.
The 38 per cent decline was a result of less equipment deliveries and fewer ongoing projects,
The EBITDA was EUR -7.1 million (Q1 2024: EUR -4.8). The EBITDA decline is a result of lower volumes, and non-recurring cost from the restructuring process of EUR 2.3 million. The underlying EBITDA of EUR –4.8 million is at the same level as last year, despite the sharp decline in revenues. This is due to improved cost control, better project execution and lower write-downs of inventory.
especially in the European market compared to the same period last year. The impact on the project revenues is partly offset by somewhat higher activity in US and Canada. Revenues from the service business were at the same level as last year.
The company maintains good cost control, and total operating expenses were reduced to EUR 12.0 million (Q1 2024: EUR 15.8). The reduction follows the lower activity levels and lower write-downs of inventory. Personnel expenses increased due to the non-recurring cost associated with the workforce reductions completed in the quarter.
Net loss was EUR -9.4 million (Q1 2024: EUR -6.1).
Order intake in the quarter amounted to EUR 1.3 million, which is lower than the corresponding quarter last year (Q1 2024: EUR 5.4). Order backlog was EUR 14.6 million at the end of the first quarter, corresponding to a reduction of 47 per cent from the first quarter 2024 and 16 per cent from end of 2024. Securing new orders remains a key priority, and the company continues to maintain a positive dialogue with existing and potential customers.

Cavendish reported an interest income of EUR 0.3 million (Q1 2024: EUR 0.0) from cash and cash equivalents. Higher interest income can be attributed to the increase in cash and cash equivalents.
Net foreign exchange losses in the quarter amounted to EUR -1.6 million (Q1 2024: EUR -0.3) and were mainly attributed to the weakening of the NOK, KRW and USD exchange rates compared to EUR.

Cash flow from operating activities was negatively affected by lower volumes. Changes in net working capital decreased cash by EUR -2.5 million (Q1 2024: EUR 2.3) in the quarter. The changes in net working capital were mainly related to reduced inventory levels, which were more than offset by a decrease in trade payables and contract liabilities.
Cash flow used in investing activities was mainly related to the development of the next generation high capacity fueling station and includes cash outflow to procurement of components to the test site and prototype, in addition to internal hours spent on the development.
Cash flow from financing activities in the first quarter was limited to payments of lease and loan liabilities, where the same quarter last year included proceeds from new loans from the previous parent company, Nel ASA.
Foreign currency effects on cash at hand amounted to EUR 0.3 million in the first quarter which can be attributed to the exchange rate development of NOK and USD relative to EUR.
Cash balance was EUR 34.5 million at the first quarter end, down from EUR 41.8 million at the end of 2024.
Cavendish is exposed to significant 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 30th of April 2025. The Annual Report 2024 is available on www.cavendishh2.com.
Based on the current order backlog, revenue from equipment sales in the coming quarters are expected to be lower than in 2024. Installation and commissioning projects are expected to generate less revenue as there are fewer projects in Europe to be executed in 2025 compared to 2024. This will be partially offset by more projects to be executed in the US and Canada. The service segment is expected to continue to grow as the installed base of stations in operation with a service contract is increasing. As Cavendish has a project-based business, quarterly fluctuations in order intake and revenue recognition are to be expected.
Revenue in Q2 is expected to be similar to Q1. However, the market outlook for the second half of 2025 remains cautious. Following the low order intake, it is anticipated that the second half of this year will see lower revenues compared to the first half of the year.
The overall market sentiment is impacted by a slow-down in government incentives combined with higher interest rates and overall cost increases. The geopolitical situation has worsened, increasing uncertainty around global trade, with the potential for new tariffs and customs restrictions. These factors, and more, have contributed to a general delay in start-up of new projects across the industry, which in turn impacts the business.
To align the organization with the revised strategy and technology roadmap, a cost reduction and restructuring initiative was completed by February 2025, resulting in a 37 per cent reduction in fulltime equivalent employees. This has lowered the cost base and personnel costs and indirect costs will be lower in the upcoming quarters.
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 enable short term order intake. 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.

Notes to the Interim Financial Statements
Cavendish Hydrogen ASA ("the Company"), was incorporated on 13 March 2024 for the purpose of continuing the hydrogen fueling station manufacturing activities (Nel Hydrogen Fueling segment) of the previous parent company of 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 12th June 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 31 December 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 31 December 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. The executive management group is the chief operating decision maker and monitors the operating results of its business units separately for the purpose of making decisions about resource allocation and performance assessment.
Segment performance is evaluated based revenues and EBITDA and is measured consistently with the consolidated financial statements. Cavendish operates within three main geographical segments based on the location of its manufacturing of equipment and project and service organizations. These also reflect the company's core markets. In addition. Cavendish management monitors the revenue recognition and EBITDA from manufacturing of core equipment and the revenue that derives from projects. installation and commissioning and service.
Billing of goods and services between operating segments are effected on an arm's length basis.

Alternative Performance Measures

Cavendish discloses alternative performance measures (APMs) in addition to those normally required by IFRS. This is based on the group's experience that APMs are frequently used by analysts, investors and other parties as supplemental information.
The purpose of APMs is to provide an enhanced insight into the operations, financing and future prospect of the group. Management also uses these measures internally to drive performance in terms of monitoring operating performance and long-term target setting.
EBITDA: is defined as earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, amortization and impairment. EBITDA corresponds to operating profit/(loss) plus depreciation, amortization and impairment.
EBITDA margin: is defined as EBITDA divided by revenue and income.
Equity ratio: is defined as total equity divided by total assets.
APMs are adjusted IFRS measures that are defined, calculated and used in a consistent and transparent manner over the years and across the group where relevant.
Financial APMs should not be considered as a substitute for measures of performance in accordance with IFRS.
Order intake: is defined as firm purchase orders with agreed price, volume, timing, terms and conditions entered within a given period. The order intake includes both agreed upon and signed contracts and change orders. For service contracts and contracts with uncertain transaction price, the order intake is based on estimated revenue.
Order backlog: is order intake where revenue is yet to be recognized.
