Q2 2022

A word from the CEO
Dear shareholders,
Momentum continues with strong revenue growth
Hexagon's employees delivered 50% growth in revenues year-over-year (including Hexagon Purus) in the second quarter 2022 and 37% revenue growth overall for the first half of 2022. These results are backed by continued high demand for our clean energy solutions and growing supportive regulatory frameworks.
Mobile pipeline a key enabler to REPower EU
The European Commission plans to make Europe independent from Russian fossil fuels well before 2030 - drastically accelerating the clean energy transition and increasing Europe's energy independence. This strategy drives a significant need for development of distribution infrastructure.
REPower EU is expected to trigger significant investments into gas infrastructure in Europe. Hexagon Agility's Mobile Pipeline systems for compressed natural gas and Hexagon Purus' Hydrogen Distribution systems are key enablers of this capacity ramp-up. In North America today we see that ~20% of (renewable) natural gas is being moved by mobile pipeline. In light of this, it is estimated that stranded (renewable) natural gas (biomethane) in Europe will translate to a very significant market opportunity for Hexagon's Mobile Pipeline business.
In the first half of 2022, our Mobile Pipeline gas distribution business has experienced nearly three times year-over-year growth and we are seeing inquiries throughout Europe for substantially larger projects.
Supply shortages and cost inflation
The supply chain disruptions resulting from the war in Ukraine and the Covid 19 pandemic have affected our first half profitability. Continued shortages, significant cost increases for materials, components and electricity, as well as increasing interest rates will continue to impact profit margins negatively in the coming quarters. While the strong revenue growth absorbs some of the cost increases in the form of scale efficiency, long lead times and shortages of critical components entail inefficiencies in our production system. Our teams are actively working to mitigate these challenges through inventory buildup and productivity programs, as well as pass through of pricing. However, the mitigating effects will lag the cost increases and production inefficiencies in the second half of the year, while we expect to catch up from first quarter 2023.

Revenue growth across businesses
Hexagon Agility's heavy- and medium duty business continued to benefit from high underlying demand in the second quarter and experienced healthy growth in the first half of 2022.
Hexagon Ragasco's revenues increased by 10% in the first half of 2022 driven by solid sales in Europe.
Hexagon Purus continues to deliver above business plan, more than doubling its revenues in the second quarter as compared to the same quarter in 2021
Hexagon Digital Wave delivered a record quarter, more than doubling revenues year-over-year.
Looking ahead
The US Inflation Reduction Act, authorizing USD 370 billion in spending on energy and climate change in the US, and the European Commission's REPower EU, as well as similar programs in other major economies, will drive Hexagon's total addressable market to new levels. The inflationary environment, looming energy crisis and continuing supply chain disruptions will represent major challenges to leverage the opportunities. Reestablishing supply chain robustness and operational excellence will be among our most important priorities in the short and medium term.
Best regards,
Jon Erik Engeset President & CEO, Hexagon Group

Financial summary
Hexagon Group excluding Purus
In the second quarter of 2022, Hexagon (excluding Purus) generated NOK 1 034 (726) million in revenues and recorded an operating profit before depreciation and amortizations (EBITDA) of NOK 90 (71) million, representing an EBITDA margin of 9% (10%). The positive 42 % growth in revenues year-over-year, across all business areas, is driven by an underlying strong sustainability driven demand for Hexagon's products and solutions, coupled with NOK 64 million in FX tailwinds. Margins were adversely impacted by significant and continued cost inflation and supply chain challenges across all segments. Price increases have been implemented, however the effects of these lag the further cost increases and productivity inefficiencies from shortages of materials and components.
For the first half of 2022, Hexagon (excluding Purus) generated NOK 1 947 (1 416) million in revenues, representing 37 % growth driven by similar factors as for second quarter. EBITDA for the first half year in 2022 came in at NOK 174 (159) million, representing an EBITDA margin of 9 % (11 %).
Hexagon Agility has, despite significant supply chain challenges and chassis delays, increased revenues in the first half of 2022 by 46% to NOK 1 549 (1 063 million) with nearly three times year-over-year growth in the Mobile Pipeline distribution business alone, to NOK 341 (116) million. Its heavy- and medium duty business also benefited from high underlying demand and healthy growth, while the light-duty-vehicle business has declined.
Hexagon Ragasco revenues increased 10% in the first half of 2022, coming in at NOK 353 (322) million, with sales volumes in Europe increasing markedly, somewhat offset by lower sales volumes in Asia Pacific. There has also been a noteworthy pick-up in volumes to North America, driven in part by higher demand for fork-lift truck applications.
Hexagon Digital Wave continued its positive path and reported revenues of NOK 41 (23) million for the first six months in 2022, driven by the growing CNG/RNG and industrial gas market pushing demand for Digital Wave's ultrasonic examination machines and cylinder requalification services. New applications and markets are opening as the technology continues to be trialed in various sectors.
Hexagon Purus
In the second quarter of 2022, Hexagon Purus generated NOK 210 (94) million in revenues and recorded an EBITDA of NOK -112 (-69) million. Revenue growth of 124 % was driven primarily by continued strength in hydrogen distribution. The strong momentum in the zero emission market sectors targeted by Hexagon Purus, and the Company's accelerated business plan execution, support continued investments in personnel and infrastructure, entailing negative profitability. Hexagon Purus remains fully consolidated in the Hexagon Group accounts after its spin-off in December 2020, with Hexagon currently retaining a 73% ownership.
Hexagon Group including Purus
In the second quarter of 2022, Hexagon Group including Hexagon Purus, generated NOK 1 180 (788) million in revenues and an EBITDA of NOK -21 (3) million. EBITDA in the Hexagon Group is largely impacted by the negative profitability of Hexagon Purus.
Due to the consolidation of Hexagon Purus, Hexagon Group recorded a net loss after tax of NOK -115 (-72) million in the quarter. Net financial items were NOK -6 (-8) million driven by foreign exchange fluctuation effects of NOK 13 (13) million, unrealized gain/loss on derivatives of NOK 1 (-4) million, net interest expenses of NOK -18 (-18) million and share of profits from associated companies of NOK -1 (1) million. Tax charges were NOK 8 (4) million. The tax charges do not include any credits for carried-forward tax losses within Hexagon Purus as conditions for deferred tax asset recognition are, prudently, not yet deemed to be met.
At quarter-end, the Group balance sheet amounted to NOK 7 603 (5 972) million. The increase in total assets year-over-year is to a large extent explained by the acquisition of Wystrach, the private placement in Hexagon Purus, an increased level of working capital due to growth and pandemic related impact to global supply chains in addition to currency translation effects due to the depreciation in value of NOK versus USD. The Group's equity ratio decreased from 58% to 47% quarter-over-quarter due to the above factors as well as the negative net profit contribution from Hexagon Purus in the period.
Key developments during the quarter
Hexagon Agility received major orders under long-term agreements
- Orders from Certarus Ltd. to deliver Mobile Pipeline modules for RNG and Helium. The order represents an estimated total value of USD 17.6 million (approx. NOK 162 million)
- Orders from UPS for fuel systems for heavy-duty and yard-haulers. The orders have an estimated value of USD 21.9 million (approx. NOK 204 million)
- UPS also committed to purchase fuel systems for medium-duty step vans, with an estimated value of USD 32.1 million (approx. NOK 299 million)
Investment in Cryoshelter
In April, Hexagon announced an agreement to acquire a 40% stake in Cryoshelter GmbH, an Austria based company specialized in the development of cryogenic tank technology for liquid natural gas (LNG) and liquid hydrogen (LH2). Hexagon Composites ASA will make an initial investment of EUR 2.5 million to acquire 40% of Cryoshelter's LNG business with options to acquire remaining shares over the next 3-10 years. Hexagon Purus ASA will make an initial investment of EUR 3.5 million to acquire 40% of Cryoshelter's liquid hydrogen (LH2) business, with options to acquire remaining shares over the next 5-10 years. Closing of the transaction took place 1 August and is thus not a part of the financials for the second quarter.
Withdrawal of nomination by commercial truck OEM
On 25 May, Hexagon Purus received a withdrawal of nomination from a commercial truck OEM for supply of battery packs for zero emission heavy-duty vehicles. The total sales value for the initial period from 2024-2027 was initially estimated to USD 800 million. Although the withdrawal was unfortunate, the ramp-up and pace of Hexagon Purus continues with undiminished strength, and it also creates capacity for other major contracts.
Effects of the war in Ukraine
Hexagon does not have operations or employees in Ukraine but has a sales and distribution subsidiary for its LPG products in Russia. Hexagon has stopped all product shipments to Russia to ensure compliance with international sanctions. The Russian sales entity represented 0.5% of Group revenues in 2021 and the Company does not assess there to be any direct significant effects or risks to its net assets in Russia.
Key developments after end of second quarter
Hydrogen distribution contract in Hexagon Purus
In July, Hexagon Purus' 100% subsidiary Wystrach GmbH received a EUR 11.3 million order to deliver high-performance hydrogen distribution systems to a leading global industrial gas company who is a long-standing customer. Wystrach's hydrogen transport systems with Hexagon Purus' type 4 cylinders will be used to deliver hydrogen for industrial and mobility applications in Germany and the Netherlands.
Segment results
Hexagon Agility
Hexagon Agility is a global provider of clean fuel solutions for commercialand passenger vehicles and gas transportation solutions.
Hexagon Agility recorded combined revenues for the second quarter of NOK 818 (537) million., representing a 52 % growth year-over-year inclusive of favorable currency effects of NOK 57 million. The top line growth was driven by both heavy and medium-duty truck sales as well as Mobile Pipeline CNG/RNG distribution solutions which nearly tripled from NOK 61 million in the same quarter last year to NOK 175 million in second quarter 2022.
Light-duty vehicle revenues remain at low levels as ongoing components shortage remains a challenge for a key customer in car production. This business accounted for ~ 2% of Hexagon (excl. Purus) 2021 revenues. In the meantime, available production capacity in Germany is primarily being utilized for manufacturing of hydrogen cylinders for Hexagon Purus.
Despite year-over-year growth in total revenues, Hexagon Agility experienced challenges in finalization of heavy-and medium duty systems and installs and consequently timely revenue recognition. This is due to global supply chain disruptions and specifically irregular chassis-deliveries for system installations. This has led to substantial increases in inventory levels, both as a mitigation action and as a consequence of the disruptions. The Company expects the inventory levels to normalize as and when these disruptions ease.
EBITDA for Hexagon Agility came in at NOK 63 (44) million in the second quarter, representing an EBITDA margin of 8 % (8%). Higher material input costs, principally carbon fiber, resin and aluminum combined with adverse product mix effects and production inefficiencies due to supply shortages and delays, combined to offset margin accretion. Price increases have been implemented to help mitigate the margin pressure, and further price increases will be negotiated and effectuated in order to improve and normalize margins over time.
Demand remains high in both the Mobile Pipeline business and the medium- and heavy-duty business as CNG/RNG is becoming an increasingly important part in the decarbonization strategy of Hexagon's customers. Backlog at the end of the
quarter remains strong and the underlying demand supports continued strong activity levels and momentum in the CNG/RNG sector.

Hexagon Ragasco
Hexagon Ragasco is the world's leading manufacturer of composite liquified petroleum gas (LPG) cylinders for leisure, household, and industrial applications.
Hexagon Ragasco recorded revenues of NOK 192 (175) million in the second quarter. Sales price increases have materialized in the quarter offsetting the impacts of higher input costs and lower sales volumes compared to the same quarter last year. The main reason for the year-over-year volume drop relates to one large customer in the Asia Pacific facing delays to financing, and in turn delaying their order placements.
Otherwise, sales volumes in Europe were significant and more introductory orders were received in the quarter from customers in the Caribbean and South America. Sales also continue to grow for Forklift Truck applications in Europe, Latin and North America, the latter driven by an improved price competitiveness for composite cylinders versus aluminum cylinders.
EBITDA for the second quarter amounted to NOK 29 (34) million, representing an EBITDA margin of 15% (20%). Margin percent decline is a result of high energy costs and production inefficiencies due to supply shortages.


Hexagon Digital Wave
Hexagon Digital Wave offers innovative cylinder testing and monitoring technologies that reduce down-time and inspection costs while improving inspection accuracy.
Hexagon Digital Wave doubled its revenues in the second quarter of 2022 compared to the same period last year, coming in at NOK 26 (12) million. The growth comes from both higher Ultrasonic Emissions machine sales and growth in Modal Acoustic Emission (MAE) requalification services.
The strong revenue also translated to a positive EBITDA coming in at NOK 3 (-4) million in the second quarter of 2022. The business is still in a ramp-up phase and significant operating investments have been absorbed to ensure accelerated development of key technology and for being able to capture first mover market share. Additional operating investments are still necessary to support further growth, however, the positive EBITDA in second quarter is promising for further developments of this business.
Hexagon Digital Wave has reached the early stage of an expected significant growth phase as Hexagon takes lead in digitalizing its industry.
Progress continues on the technology development for the new digital twin concept for composite fuel solutions. The Pilot program launch is targeted for second half 2022.

Revenue (MNOK)

Hexagon Purus
Hexagon Purus is a global leader in key technologies needed for zero emission mobility. The company is listed on Euronext Growth (HPUR.OL), with Hexagon retaining a 73.3 per cent ownership.
In the second quarter of 2022, Hexagon Purus generated NOK 210 (94) million in revenue and recorded operating profit before depreciation (EBITDA) of NOK -112 ( - 6 9) million. EBITDA loss widened as expected in absolute terms, as the Hexagon Purus Group is continuing its ramp -up in personnel and infrastructure to accelerate growth. Expansion plans in Germany, Canada the US and China are currently materializing.
During the quarter, Hexagon Purus signed a series of inaugural and follow -on orders for its hydrogen systems, supporting a continued strong momentum for the second half of 2022.
In April, Hexagon Purus entered into an agreement to acquire a 40% stake of Cryoshelter GmbH's liquid hydrogen business. Cryoshelter's liquid hydrogen tank technology is in the early stage of development and builds on superior and differentiated LNG technology that provides more fuel capacity and longer hold times (a critical requirement for cryogenic storage) than competing offerings. The transaction brings early -stage expertise in liquid hydrogen tank technology for zero emission mobility applications and is expected to result in a future complementary offering to Hexagon Purus's market leading compressed hydrogen cylinder technology. Closing of the transaction took place 1 August and is thus not a part of the financials for the second quarter .
Please also refer to the separate second quarter 2022 Board of Directors Report for Hexagon Purus ASA published 9 August 2022.



Outlook
Hexagon is focused on delivering near-zero- and zero-emission energy solutions, supported by world-class manufacturing and digitalization, with the aim of enabling companies and other institutions to reach their net-zero ambitions. Together with clients and partners, the Company is finding new ways to make near zero and zero emission energy solutions available and affordable.
The war in Ukraine and the Covid pandemic continue to impact the global supply chains and input prices and are adding uncertainty to the development of the global economy in general. Supply chain challenges and cost inflation are expected to adversely impact Hexagon's margins in the second half of 2022 as cost measures as well as price increases already implemented are lagging the combined margin impact of growth in input prices and production system inefficiencies due to supply shortages. Hexagon is closely monitoring and managing these effects to mitigate the margin pressure, and further price increases and other cost measures will be effectuated in the second half of the year to improve and normalize margins from the first quarter 2023. However, Hexagon continues to see healthy demand across all businesses. Further development in regulations and changes in industry dynamics are expected to significantly support additional long-term clean energy technology opportunities within Hexagon's natural gas (RNG/CNG), LPG/bio-LPG, hydrogen, battery-electric and digital solutions segments.
On the regulatory side, The REPowerEU Plan presented by the European Commission in March, aims to end Europe's dependence on Russian fossil fuels before 2030. The Plan will rapidly reduce dependence on Russian fossil fuels by fast-forwarding the clean energy transition and adapting industry and infrastructure to different energy sources and suppliers. According to the European Commission, additional investments of EUR 210 billion are needed between now and 2027, including EUR 37 billion for biomethane production, EUR 27 billion for hydrogen infrastructure and EUR 10 billion to import sufficient LNG and pipeline gas. To meet the ambition of REPower EU, Hexagon expects that there will be a significant need for investments into gas storage and transportation infrastructure with several opportunities for Hexagon's broad range of clean fuel solutions. In the U.S., The Inflation Reduction Act introduced in July, aims to bring down costs and boosts energy supply, cutting Inflation and substantially reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Of the total USD 739 billion package, USD 369 billion is earmarked for "Energy Security and Climate Change" which would put the U.S. on a path to roughly 40% emissions reduction by 2030. Tens of billions of dollars will go toward supporting renewable energy development, including tax credits and grants for clean fuels and clean commercial vehicles to reduce emissions from all parts of the transportation sector and clean heavyduty vehicles, like school and transit buses and garbage trucks.
Segments
In Hexagon Agility, pressure on margins is expected to continue as mitigating effects related to supply chain challenges and cost inflation will be lagging expected cost increases and production inefficiencies in the second half of the year. However, demand remains high in both the medium- and heavy-duty business and the Mobile Pipeline business. For 2022, the medium & heavy-duty truck business in North America holds a strong orderbook comprising orders from leading global logistics customers and truck OEMs. The demand is driven by increased adoption of clean fuels, regulations and a larger addressable vehicle pool. The Transit bus segment in North America is expected to remain stable whilst the European bus segment is weaker, impacted by supply chain challenges. The Refuse truck business is seeing a bounce back in demand with several new orders. The Mobile Pipeline business continues to see a strong market dominated by deliveries into the RNG segment, driven by lack of pipeline infrastructure combined with growing energy demands and environmental targets. The Light-Duty Vehicle business continues to be negatively affected by components shortage with the key customer.
Hexagon Ragasco continues to experience higher input costs as certain raw material suppliers are impacted by prolonged global supply-chain challenges as well as increases in energy- and transportation costs. However, sales price increases have materialized in the quarter offsetting the impacts of higher input costs and somewhat lower sales volumes. The demand for LPG products remains healthy and the industry is investing in increased Bio-LPG, especially within Europe.
Hexagon Digital Wave continues to see increased demand for its cylinder testing and monitoring technology. Its cylinder requalification services are gaining momentum with the total installed base of cylinders in the market. The company is in a growth and investment phase, as Hexagon takes lead in digitalizing its industry with real life health monitoring of cylinders. Further positive impact on revenues is expected in the longer ter
Risks and uncertainties

1) Other intangible assets consist of technology and development, patents and licenses and other rights
Intangible assets are reviewed each quarter for impairment indicators, including market changes, technological development, order backlog and other changes that might potentially reduce the value of the assets. For goodwill, impairment tests are performed annually in the fourth quarter, or immediately in the case of an impairment indicator.
Goodwill is tested using the value in use approach determined by discounting expected future cash flows. If the impairment test reveals that an asset's carrying amount is higher than its value in use, an impairment loss will be recognized.
There are four CGUs in the Hexagon Group; 1) Hexagon Agility, 2) Hexagon Digital Wave, 3) Hexagon Purus, and 4) Hexagon Ragasco. During the quarter there were no indicators of impairment of intangible assets.

Note 9: Financial instruments
For financial instruments that are recognized at fair value on a recurring basis, the Group determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorization at the end of each reporting period.
Fair value hierarchy
The Group uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing the fair value of financial instruments by valuation technique:
Level 1: Quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2: Other techniques for which all inputs which have a significant effect on the recorded fair value are observable, either directly or indirectly
Level 3: Techniques which use inputs which have a significant effect on the recorded fair value that are not based on observable market data
There were no transfers from one level to another in the measurement hierarchy from 2021 to the 2nd quarter of 2022. Hexagon Group has no items defined as level 1. Set out below is a comparison of the carrying amount and the fair value of financial instruments as of 30 June 2022.
