Q2 2024

A word from the CEO

On track

Solid EBITDA margin improvement in Q2

During the second quarter, Hexagon (excluding Hexagon Ragasco) achieved Q2 revenues of NOK 1 150 (1 161) million. The main highlight of the quarter was the substantial increase in EBITDA for the Group, reaching NOK 137 (110) million. This performance resulted in an EBITDA margin of 12% (9%). The driving force behind these numbers was Hexagon Agility, delivering 13% (10%) EBITDA margin.

Record first-half year for Hexagon Agility Mobile Pipeline

Hexagon Agility delivered a record high first-half year for Mobile Pipeline. Notably, it secured the largest industrial gas order to date valued at approximately USD 12.8 million (equivalent to NOK 135 million).

Hexagon Agility secures USD 57.7 million fuel system order from UPS

In Q2, Hexagon Agility received orders totaling USD 57.7 million (approx. NOK 620 million) from UPS for fuel systems that will power UPS' heavy-duty trucks, including trucks equipped with the new Cummins 15-liter (X15N) natural gas engine. UPS continues to lead the way in sustainable transportation.

Sale of Hexagon Ragasco to Worthington Enterprises

In Q2 2024, we announced the sale of our LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) composite cylinder business, Hexagon Ragasco to Worthington Enterprises, achieving an enterprise value of NOK 1,050 billion. The transaction further sharpens Hexagon's focus on market leading solutions for alternative fuels and industrial gases. Worthington, a global leader in LPG cylinders, will give Hexagon Ragasco additional opportunities to expand its business into new geographies and verticals.

In parallel with the sale of Hexagon Ragasco, Hexagon acquired 49% of Worthington Sustainable Energy Solutions, Worthington Enterprises' European alternative fuels, and industrial gases businesses. Worthington and Hexagon

will together with the company's management develop strategies to extract synergies, optimize the structure and maximize value from the joint venture.

Hexagon Purus launched zero emission truck

At ACT Expo (Advanced Clean Transportation) in May, Hexagon Purus and Hino Trucks introduced Tern, a battery-electric Class 8 truck tailored for the U.S. market. Representing a new innovative option for fleets for regional and city routes. The first deliveries of this semi-tractor are expected in Q3 2024.

During their Q2 presentation in July, Hexagon Purus reported sustained strong revenue growth and notable improvements in profitability. The Hydrogen business achieved EBITDA positivity for the first half of 2024, with expectations of further performance enhancements towards year-end.

Navigating the road ahead: Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) adoption and the X15N natural gas engine

As we peer into the future, two important market drivers stand out: the continued momentum behind renewable natural gas (RNG) adoption and the game-changing X15N natural gas engine. Meanwhile, the improvement and investment efforts conducted over the last several years are bearing fruit and the revenue and profitability are developing as targeted. In sum, we remain confident that our goals are achievable short and long term.

Best regards, Jon Erik Engeset CEO, Hexagon Composites

Operating results from continuing operations

In the second quarter of 2024, Hexagon Group (excluding Hexagon Ragasco) reported combined revenues of NOK 1 150 (1 161) million. EBITDA for the Group in the second quarter increased to NOK 137 (110) for an EBITDA margin of 12% (9%). The Group margin is driven by Hexagon Agility, delivering 13% (10%) EBITDAmargin from continued strong performance in the Mobile Pipeline distribution business and improved performance in the heavy-duty fuel systems business. See segment results section for further details.

On a year-to-date basis, Hexagon Group (excluding Hexagon Ragasco) generated NOK 2 094 (2 106) million in revenues and NOK 196 (146) million in EBITDA.

Profit/loss from continuing operations

Profit/loss before taxes from continuing operations in the second quarter was NOK -85 (30) million, of which NOK -101 (-4) million was related to share of losses from investments in associates, and NOK -59 (-22) million in other net financial items. Losses from investments in associates was largely related to Hexagon Purus.

On a year-to-date basis, profit before taxes from continuing operations was NOK -273 (-49) million, heavily impacted by share of losses from associates of NOK -177 (-7) million (predominantly from Hexagon Purus1 ), net interest expenses of NOK 75 (81) million, and negative fair value development of Hexagon Purus total return swap (TRS) of NOK -48 (0) million. See also note 4 for further details of net financial items.

Profit/loss from discontinued operations

Profit/loss from discontinued operations relates to Hexagon Ragasco which was sold to Worthington Enterprises on 3 June 2024, and Hexagon Purus which was deconsolidated as an operating entity on 29 June 2023. In 2024, discontinued operations relate solely to Hexagon Ragasco, while 2023 figures also include financials related to Hexagon Purus. The net gain from the sale of Hexagon Ragasco recognized in Q2 2024 amounted to NOK 677 million. Reference is made to note 14 for further details and financials from discontinued operations.

Total profit/loss

Adding the profits/losses from continuing operations with the profits/losses from discontinued operations, total profit before taxes for the Group was NOK 600 (2 261) million for the quarter and NOK 422 (2 084) million for the first half.

Balance sheet development

At the end of the second quarter, the Group balance sheet amounted to NOK 6 684 million compared to NOK 6 931 million at the end of the first quarter. The change in total assets during the quarter is to a large extent explained by the derecognition effects and proceeds from the sale of Hexagon Ragasco as well as the acquisition of SES.

Following the sale of Hexagon Ragasco, the financial position and flexibility of the Group was strengthened. Hexagon used NOK 546 million of the sale proceeds as repayment on its debt facilities, and at the end of the quarter, interest-bearing debt amounted to NOK 1 089 million. Net Interest-bearing debt, after netting with cash deposits of NOK 336 million, was NOK 753 million at the end of quarter, compared to NOK 1 526 million at the end of the preceding quarter.

Cash flow and liquidity

Net cash flow from operating activities in the second quarter and year to date was negative by NOK 52 million and NOK 151 million respectively, impacted by higher net operating working capital in Hexagon Agility. Net cash flow from investing activities for the quarter was positive by NOK 905 million, largely driven by proceeds from the sale of Hexagon Ragasco of NOK 1 073 million, offset by the investment in SES of NOK 121 million and other capital expenditures. Net cash flow from financing activities in the quarter was NOK -598 million, largely due to repayments of debt following the sale of Hexagon Ragasco.

Reference is made to the consolidated cash flow statement for further details. It is noted that the reported cash flow statement for the second quarter of last year is not comparable with the current quarter cash flows due to Hexagon Purus' cash flows which are included in last year's reported cash flows.

Unused credit facilities at the end of the quarter amounted to NOK 1 100 million, translating to a liquidity reserve of NOK 1 436 million. The Board considers the liquidity and the financial position of the Group as strong.

Segment results

Hexagon Agility

Hexagon Agility is a global provider of natural gas fuel systems for commercial vehicles and gas distribution solutions.

In the second quarter of 2024, Hexagon Agility recorded combined revenues of NOK 1 105, on par with the same period last year of NOK 1 110 million. Revenues were slightly down in the fuel systems business compared to the same period last year due to lower medium-duty and transit bus volumes, offset by an uptick in heavy-duty truck volumes following the UPS order announced in May. The Mobile Pipeline gas distribution business had another strong quarter, driven by demand for Renewable Natural Gas in the US, offset by somewhat lower activity in EMEAA.

EBITDA for the second quarter was NOK 140 (111) million, representing an EBITDA margin of 13%, compared to 10% in the same quarter last year. The EBITDA performance is attributable to the improved performance in the Mobile Pipeline business as well as recovering heavy-duty truck volumes.

On a year-to-date basis, Hexagon Agility recorded revenues of NOK 2 006 (2 009). Although revenues remained at par with last year, revenues within the fuel systems business were ~17% lower compared to the first half of 2023. The shortfall in the fuel systems business was neutralized by a significant increase from the Mobile Pipeline distribution business. Hexagon Agility's EBITDA for the first half came in at NOK 204 (145) million, translating to an EBITDA margin of 10%, compared to 7% last year.

EBITDA (MNOK)

Hexagon Digital Wave

Hexagon Digital Wave offers innovative cylinder testing and monitoring technologies that reduce down-time and inspection costs while improving inspection accuracy.

In the second quarter of 2024, Hexagon Digital Wave recorded revenues of NOK 45 (40) million, driven by higher UE (Ultrasonic Examination) machine volumes. The increased UE volumes included deliveries pushed out from the weaker first quarter. The MAE (Modal Acoustic Emission) testing business remained at similar levels to last year. EBITDA for the second quarter was NOK 1 (1) million.

On a year-to-date basis, Hexagon Digital Wave recorded revenues of NOK 86 (85) million and an EBITDA of NOK 0.3 (2.5) million for an EBITDA margin of 0.3% (2.9%). Somewhat higher operating costs associated with operational growth investments within both MAE and UE, coupled with stable revenues led to relatively weakened profitability.

Revenue (MNOK)

Investments in associates

Hexagon holds strategic investments in three associated companies: Hexagon Purus (ticker: HPUR) with 38% ownership, Sustainable Energy Solutions (SES) with 49% ownership and Cryoshelter BioLNG with 40% ownership.

Hexagon Purus – 38% ownership

Hexagon Purus is a global leader in key technologies needed for zero emission hydrogen and battery-electric mobility and infrastructure with production facilities in North America, Europe and Asia.

In the second quarter of 2024, Hexagon Purus continued its strong growth and generated revenues of NOK 528 (330) million, up 60% compared to the same period last year, driven by its Hydrogen Mobility & infrastructure (HMI) segment. EBITDA ended at NOK -97 (-89) million due to ramp-up investments and operating losses in its Battery Systems and Vehicle Integration (BVI) and in its China joint venture. The Hydrogen Mobility & Infrastructure (HMI) segment was EBITDA positive in the quarter, a significant milestone on the path to achieving this for the company as a whole, during 2025.

For further details pertaining to the operational and financial development of

Hexagon Purus, please refer to Hexagon Purus second quarter report published 18 July 2024 on www.hexagonpurus.com/investors.

Profit after tax for the first half of 2024 ended at NOK -386 (-302) million. Hexagon's share of the losses in Hexagon Purus amounted to NOK -158 million. See note 12 for further information on the equity method accounting of Hexagon Purus.

Sustainable Energy Solutions (SES) – 49% ownership

SES is a leading European supplier of high-pressure cylinders and systems for storage and distribution of compressed natural gas, hydrogen and industrial gases, with production facilities in Austria, Poland and Germany. Hexagon acquired a noncontrolling 49% stake in SES from Worthington Enterprises on 29 May 2024 which is accounted for by use of the equity method in the Hexagon Group accounts.

At the end of the second quarter, Hexagon's share of the profits/losses in SES relates only to the month of June, which amounted to a loss of NOK -1 million. On a gross basis, SES generated NOK 109 million in revenues in June, and an EBITDA of NOK -1 million. See note 12 for further information on the equity method accounting of SES. Visit www.worthingtonenterprises.com/businesses/sustainable-energy-solutions for more information about SES.

Cryoshelter BioLNG – 40% ownership

Cryoshelter BioLNG is an Austria based company specialized in the development of cryogenic tank technology for liquified renewable natural gas (LNG). The company is still in a development phase but expects to generate revenues in the second half of 2024 from its initial contract with a large global package delivery company.

Hexagon's share of the losses in Cryoshelter BioLNG amounted to NOK -18 (-7) for the first half of 2024, see also note 12.

Visit www.cryoshelter.com for more information about Cryoshelter.

Discontinued operations

Discontinued operations relate to Hexagon Ragasco which was sold to Worthington Enterprise on 3 June 2024 and Hexagon Purus which was deconsolidated as a subsidiary and operating entity on 29 June 2023.

As both Hexagon Ragasco and Hexagon Purus represented separate major lines of business and separate segments within the Hexagon Group prior to the divestments, both components represent discontinued operations and have thus been presented as such. See also note 14 for further information on discontinued operations.

Hexagon Ragasco

As Hexagon Ragasco was sold on 3 June 2024, the financials for 2024 in the graphs below shows Hexagon Ragasco's development until 3 June 2024. Hence, the quarterly and year-to-date figures for 2024 are not comparable with the same periods in 2023 and 2022.

In its last two months (April and May 2024) as a subsidiary of Hexagon, Hexagon Ragasco generated NOK 120 million in revenues and an EBITDA of NOK 19 million. Volumes were lower than the same two months last year due to destocking effects in the Scandinavian and European market and coupled with some delays in deliveries to a major customer in Saudi Arabia.

The sale of Hexagon Ragasco to Worthington Enterprises was concluded based on an enterprise value (EV) of NOK 1 050 million, including a contingent consideration of NOK 50 million. Depending on the financial performance of Hexagon Ragasco in FY2024, the total EV-consideration may increase to NOK 1 150 million. Following the sale, Hexagon Composites recognized a gain of NOK 677 million. The gain is presented as a part of discontinued operations on the face of the income statement. See also note 13 for further information.

Hexagon Purus

Effective 29 June 2023, Hexagon Purus was deconsolidated from the Hexagon Group and presented as discontinued operations, see also note 13 for further information pertaining to the deconsolidation. Since the same date, Hexagon's retained ownership of 38% in Hexagon Purus has been accounted for by use of the equity method. The figures below depict the operating financials for Hexagon Purus that were fully consolidated in the Hexagon Group until 29 June 2023, and which for presentation purposes have been presented as discontinued operations.

Due to the deconsolidation, there are no financial figures related to Hexagon Purus beyond Q2 2023.

For further details pertaining to the operational and financial development of Hexagon Purus, please refer to Hexagon Purus second quarter report published 18 July 2024 on www.hexagonpurus.com/investors.

Outlook

Hexagon is focused on carbon negative and near-zero emission energy solutions, supported by world-class manufacturing and digitalization, enabling customers to reach their net-zero ambitions. Together with clients and partners, the Company is finding new ways to make alternative energy solutions available and affordable.

Global regulations support the energy transition. In addition to far-reaching programs, such as REPower EU and the US Inflation Reduction Act, a number of federal and regional programs addressing transportation are also being implemented. Hexagon is actively engaging with regulatory bodies in the EU and the US in the promotion of "well to wheel" basis methods of emissions which support the increased deployment of CO2 neutral fuels such as biomethane/renewable natural gas (RNG).

Segments

Hexagon Agility's current margins and overall profitability are improving significantly with improving truck volumes. The volumes in the fuel systems business were relatively soft in the first half but are expected to pick up substantially in the second half of the year. The close to USD 60 million UPS order announced in May for RNG fuel systems, including deliveries with the new X15N engine, will help drive these increases and further improvement is expected as more orders for the X15N engine are placed. So far, two of the top four North American truck brands, Kenworth and Peterbilt, have opened order books for trucks powered by the new engine, with a third flagging start of production in 2025. Altogether they represent approximately two-thirds of the North American heavyduty truck market. Hexagon's addressable market for Natural Gas driven heavy-duty trucks increases threefold due to the X15N engine, as it opens the long-haul segment currently only served by diesel engines. Hexagon's current capacity expansion program is timed to support and meet the strong growth expected through 2025 and beyond.

For the Mobile Pipeline business, production capacity for 2024 is almost fully booked. However, additional capacity is scheduled to come online in September 2024 allowing potential for increased deliveries. The sustained high demand is driven by the economic competitiveness of RNG and compressed natural gas (CNG) relative to conventional energy such as diesel, and customers' decarbonization targets. These underlying factors are expected to drive growth and higher volumes for Mobile Pipeline in the years ahead. The demand for Hexagon Digital Wave's Modal Acoustic Emission (MAE) requalification services is expected to retain consistently high activity throughout 2024 while volumes in the UE business should increase. Over time, Hexagon Digital Wave is expecting significant growth within its MAE business due, in part, to the historical growth development of its offerings and the regulatory requalification testing requirements of over-the road gas distribution, including Hexagon's Mobile Pipeline business.

These forward-looking statements reflect current views about future events and are, by their nature, subject to significant risks and uncertainties because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that will occur in the future. For further information please refer to the section "Forward-Looking Statements" at the end of this report.

Risks and uncertainties

The Hexagon Composites Group is active in sales and purchasing in many geographies and markets. Exports represent a considerable part of the Group's sales. Currency risk is the Group's largest financial risk factor, and the Company employs forward currency contracts in addition to natural hedges to mitigate these risks. In the Board's view there are no major changes to the risk composition for the Group compared with 2023. The Group is by nature exposed to the general macro climate factors, including those resulting in post-pandemic global supply chain disruptions, and how these directly or indirectly impact the business positively or negatively. For additional information about risks and uncertainties we refer to Hexagon Composites' 2023 annual report. It is not expected that the above exposures and risks will have a material effect on the Group or its financial position in the next reporting period.

Statement from the Board and CEO

• the consolidated financial statements for the period 1 January to 30 June 2024 have been prepared in accordance with "IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting",

• the information provided in the financial statements gives a true and fair view of the Company's and Group's assets, liabilities, financial position and results for the period viewed in their entirety, and that;

The company's headquarters are at Korsegata 4B, 6002 Aalesund, Norway. Hexagon Composites ASA is listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange under the ticker HEX.

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. They do not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of The Group for the year which ended 31 December 2023.

For a more detailed description of accounting principles see the consolidated financial statements for 2023, available on the Company's website www.hexagongroup.com/investors

The accounting principles used in the preparation of these interim accounts are the same as those applied to the consolidated financial statements for 2023.

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on 14 August 2024.

Note 2: Estimates

The preparation of the interim accounts entails the use of valuations, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of the accounting policies and the amounts recognized as assets and liabilities, income, and expenses. The actual results may deviate from these estimates. The material assessments underlying the application of the Group's accounting policy and the main sources of uncertainty are the same as for the consolidated accounts for 2023.

1) Hexagon's debt facilities with its banking partners, DNB and Danske Bank, was, due to its less-than-12-month maturity, classified and presented as current as of 31 December 2023. On 30 April 2024, Hexagon renewed its debt facilities, and the bank loans have thus been reclassified and presented as non-current as of 30 June 2024.

The principal loan financing facility in Hexagon Composites ASA is a Senior Secured bilateral facility with DNB Bank and Danske Bank. Following the renewal of the debt facilities on 30 April, the overall size of the committed facility increased by NOK 500 million, to NOK 2 200 million, comprising a term loan of NOK 1 100 million, an overdraft facility of NOK 250 million, and a multi-currency revolving credit facility (RCF) of NOK 850 million. The main tenor is for 3 years with extension of 1 +1 years available in relation to the RCF. As of quarter-end, total drawings amounted to NOK 1 100 million excluding amortized transaction costs of 11.3 million. Unused credit facilities were NOK 1 100 million.

All financial covenants related to the financing facility agreement were compliant per quarter-end.

2) As a result of the deconsolidation of Hexagon Purus as described in note 13, Hexagon Purus' interest-bearing debt as of 29 June 2023, consisting mainly of the debt component of a NOK 800 million convertible bond, was derecognized from the group accounts of Hexagon Composites, and is thus only present in the comparable table for Q2-2023.

Note 10: 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 reassessing 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 2023 to the end of the current quarter of 2024. 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 the current balance sheet date and 31 December 2023.

2) Other current financial assets of NOK 50 million relate to contingent consideration placed in Escrow related to the sale of Hexagon Ragasco.

The total return swap gives Hexagon Composites financial exposure to any change in the fair value of the underlying 13 839 872 shares from the initial amount of NOK 19.80 per share. The TRS is classified as a financial derivative with changes in fair value to be recognized through profit or loss. At the end of the quarter, the fair value of the TRS was NOK -172.5 million. The carrying value of the TRS as of 30 June 2024 was NOK 104 million net of cash collateral payments (margin calls) of NOK 68.5 million made.

Note 11: Share-based payment

Share-based payment in Hexagon Composites ASA

The Company has a performance share units program (PSUs) and a restricted share units program (RSUs) covering certain employees in senior positions.

Performance share unit programs (PSUs)

All PSUs are non-transferable and will vest subject to satisfaction of the applicable vesting conditions (fulfilling revenue, group EBITDA and share price targets). The actual number of PSUs vested will depend on performance and vary from minimum zero to the maximum awarded PSUs in each program. Each vested PSU will give the holder the right to receive one share in the Company at an exercise price corresponding to the par value of the shares being NOK 0.10.

Restricted share unit programs (RSUs)

The RSUs are subject to continued employment three years after date of grant, and each participant will at such time receive such number of Hexagon shares as corresponds to the number of RSUs allocated to them.

In addition to the above-mentioned instruments, the Company has issued bonus arrangements to certain executives within the Group. The bonus arrangements are dependent upon the share price development of Hexagon Purus ASA and is converted to a given number of cash settlement options in Hexagon Purus ASA, for the purpose of calculating quarterly fair values using the Black-Scholes model. These cash settlement arrangements involved total expenses of NOK -3.8 million YTD 30 June 2024. Expenses in the second quarter were NOK 0.5 million. Remaining unamortized accrual is estimated to MNOK 0.0 as of 30 June 2024.

1) Other associates relate to associated companies of Hexagon Purus. As a result of the deconsolidation of Hexagon Purus effective 29 June 2023, these associated companies were derecognized from the group accounts of Hexagon Composites and are thus not a part of the 2024 figures.

Sustainable Energy Solutions (SES)

On 29 May 2024, Hexagon acquired 49% of the shares in Worthington Cylinders Austria GmbH (parent company of the SES business), a leading European suppler of high-pressure cylinders and systems for storage and distribution of compressed natural gas, hydrogen and industrial gases, with production facilities in Austria, Poland and Germany. Following the transaction, Worthington Enterprises as seller retained 49% of the shares while senior executives of SES hold the remaining 2%. Based on the substance of the share-purchase agreement and the shareholders' agreement entered into as a part of the transaction, no single shareholder will have control over the company, nor will the shareholders have joint control over the company. Consequently, Hexagon has concluded that it has significant influence over the company and has accounted for the investment as an associate by use of the equity method. Hexagon's share of the profit after tax in SES from 29 May 2024 to 30 June 2024 was NOK -1.1 million.

The acquisition of SES was concluded based on an enterprise value of SES of USD 20 million on a 100% basis, which, after adjusting for net debt and net working capital items, translated to an equity value of USD 22 million. HEX' investment amounted to USD 10.8 million for 49% of the shares, equating to NOK 114.1 million excluding transaction costs. Transaction costs directly associated with the acquisition of the shares amounted to NOK 7.2 million. These transaction costs have been capitalized and added to the carrying amount of the investment.

As part of the accounting for the acquisition of SES, Hexagon is undertaking a "notional" purchase price allocation (PPA), identifying and valuing assets and liabilities of SES. Fair value adjustments, if any, will not be recorded separately because the investment itself is a single line item. However, such adjustments will form the basis for additional depreciation, amortization and similar adjustments that will be reflected in Hexagon's share of SES's results in subsequent periods. The PPA was not completed as of the date these interim financial statements were authorized for issue and consequently the accounting for the acquisition reflects provisional amounts, which may be subject to change in subsequent periods to reflect new information obtained about the financial position of SES as of the acquisition date. Management expects to have completed the PPA prior to the release of the company's interim financial statements for the quarter ending 31 December 2024.

Hexagon Purus

Initial recognition as associated company on 29 June 2023

Following loss of control and deconsolidation of Hexagon Purus as a subsidiary effective from 29 June 2023, Hexagon Composites' investment in Hexagon Purus has been accounted for as an associated company applying the equity method. On 29 June 2023, following the dividend-in-kind decision, Hexagon Composites' ownership in Hexagon Purus was effectively reduced to 43.4%. The initial recognition and measurement of Hexagon Purus under the equity method amounted to NOK 2 379 million, representing 43.4% of the fair market value of Hexagon Purus on 29 June. Furthermore, on 29 June, Hexagon Composites sold 13.8 million Hexagon Purus shares and simultaneously entered into a total return swap (TRS) representing 5% of the total outstanding shares in Hexagon Purus. The transaction was closed at NOK 19.80 per share for a total consideration of NOK 274 million. Based on the substance of the agreements and the circumstances for the sale, the sale of shares associated with the TRS agreements was accounted for as a reduction in ownership of an associate. Since the sale of shares under the TRS agreement was made subsequently on the same date as the loss-of-control event, the sale represented a zero-gain transaction. From 29 June and onwards, Hexagon Composites accounts for 38.4% of the profits/losses in Hexagon Purus via the equity method in addition to amortizations of fair value/PPA-adjustments. See also note 13 for further information related to the deconsolidation of Hexagon Purus. The table below shows the purchase price allocation of Hexagon Purus as of 29 June 2023.

Impairment testing of Hexagon Purus

During the last twelve months, Hexagon Purus have experienced a significant decline in its market value. As of 30 June 2024, the Hexagon Purus share price closed at NOK 7.93/share, translating to a fair value of Hexagon's share in Hexagon Purus of NOK 843 million. Compared to the share price as of the date of Hexagon's initial fair value recognition of Hexagon Purus as an associated company of NOK 19.80/share as of 29 June 2023, this represents a 60 per cent decline. Comparable peer companies within the hydrogen and battery sector have experienced similar share price developments in the same period.

In the fourth quarter of 2023, Hexagon performed an impairment test of its investment in Hexagon Purus based on a value-in-use calculation. The impairment test carried out resulted in an impairment of NOK 702 million and an adjusted carrying value of NOK 1 225 million as of 31 December 2023. Considering Hexagon's equity method accounting of Hexagon Purus in the first half of 2024, the carrying value as of 30 June 2024 ended at NOK 1 080 million. As of the end of the second quarter of 2024, Hexagon reassessed its impairment test carried out in the fourth quarter of 2023 and concluded that the underlying assumptions for the impairment still stand. Consequently, no further impairments or reversal of impairments of its investment in Hexagon Purus have been made.

Key assumptions for calculating value in use of the investment are related to estimates for revenues, EBITDA margins, discount rates and growth rates beyond the forecast period. A 7-year forecast period until 2030 with an extrapolation towards 2033 (total of 10 years) has been used, concurrent with the forecast period used in the determination of intangible assets and goodwill in the purchase price allocation of Hexagon Purus as of 29 June 2023. Hexagon Purus' business plan projections imply significant growth. However, as a reflection of the overall equity market's increased implicit risk towards Hexagon Purus, Hexagon has for impairment test purposes incorporated somewhat higher risk factors to Hexagon Purus' revenue growth rates towards 2030 both within the hydrogen and the battery electric mobility sector, as well as somewhat lower profit margins in the same forecast period. For subsequent periods beyond the 7-year forecast horizon, the Group has prudently phased in a declining growth rate towards an expected average growth rate for the economy in general. A weighted average cost of capital (post-tax) of 10.8 per cent has been used as a discount rate for free cash flows. Although Hexagon Purus expects to break even at EBITDA level during 2025, free cash flows are still expected to be negative a couple of years beyond 2025 due to capital expenditures and working capital requirements. As such, a significant portion of the estimated value-in-use amount lies in the terminal value which is dependent upon the size of the company and its free cash flow generation at the end of the forecast period. Despite future cash flows are inherently uncertain, Hexagon management expects Hexagon Purus will capitalize and deliver on its business plan, and that the current carrying value represents a fair estimate of the value of the Company, including prudent risk adjustments.

Note 13: Changes to the Group structure

Sale and deconsolidation of Hexagon Ragasco on 3 June 2024

On 29 May 2024, Hexagon announced an agreement with Worthington Enterprises for the sale of 100% of the shares in Hexagon Ragasco - the Group's LPG composite cylinder business. The sale transaction closed on 3 June 2024, representing the date when control was lost. The transaction was settled based on an enterprise value of NOK 1 050 million and depending on the full year 2024 EBITDA performance of Hexagon Ragasco, the enterprise value may be adjusted between minus NOK 50 million to plus NOK 100 million. These potential adjustments represent contingent considerations which have been assessed and accounted for by using management's best estimates. Based on the EBITDA criteria for the contingent considerations, Hexagon management concluded to base the consideration at closing of NOK 1 050 in enterprise value, equating to an estimated purchase price for the shares, after adjusting for net debt and net working capital, of NOK 988 million.

The sale transaction yielded a net accounting gain of NOK 677 million, which is further depicted below.

Deconsolidation of Hexagon Purus on 29 June 2023

On 29 June 2023, the Board of Hexagon Composites decided to use its mandate from the extraordinary general meeting on 28 June 2023, to distribute 69,2 million shares in Hexagon Purus ASA ("Hexagon Purus") as dividend in kind to its shareholders. The distribution represented 25% of the total outstanding shares in Hexagon Purus and effectively reduced Hexagon's ownership in Hexagon Purus from 68,4% to 43,4%. On the same day and subsequent of the Board meeting, Hexagon sold, and entered into a total return swap (TRS) agreements with its Nordic Banking Partners, representing 5% of the total outstanding shares in Hexagon Purus, or 13,8 million shares. Since 29 June 2023, Hexagon has held 38,4% of the voting rights (106,3 million shares) in Hexagon Purus and a total return swap of 5% (13.8 million shares).

Following the above-mentioned events, Hexagon management made a reassessment of its control consideration in Hexagon Purus, and after considering all relevant facts and circumstances, management concluded that control was lost as of 29 June 2023. Key factors pertaining to this conclusion were the reduced voting right in itself coupled with an irrevocable public statement from the Board of Hexagon Composites which effectively limits Hexagon's Board influence and power in the Board of Purus to a non-controlling party for the foreseeable future. See the full statement from the Board of Hexagon Composites in the stock exchange announcement from 29 June, https://newsweb.oslobors.no/message/594467)

As a result of the loss of control in Hexagon Purus on 29 June 2023, Hexagon derecognized all assets and liabilities, including non-controlling interests, associated with Hexagon Purus as of 29 June 2023. The table below shows the one-off accounting gain resulting from the deconsolidation.

Since 29 June 2023, Hexagon Purus has been classified as an associated company and accounted for by use of the equity method. See note 12 for further details on the equity method accounting of Hexagon Purus.

Note 14: Discontinued operations

The after-tax profit or loss from discontinued operations relate to Hexagon Ragasco which was sold to Worthington Enterprises on 3 June 2024 and Hexagon Purus which was deconsolidated as a subsidiary and operating entity on 29 June 2023. See also note 13 for further information. As both Hexagon Ragasco and Hexagon Purus represented separate major lines of business and separate segments within the Hexagon Group prior to the divestments, both components represent discontinued operations and have thus been presented as such.

The profit or loss from discontinued operations as presented in the statement of income are shown in the tables below. As Hexagon Ragasco was sold on 3 June 2024, the financials for 2024 in the tables below show only Hexagon Ragasco's financials up to 3 June 2024. Hence, the quarterly and year-to-date figures for 2024 are not comparable with the same periods in 2023. Similarly, as Hexagon Purus was deconsolidated as a subsidiary on 29 June 2023, there are no quarterly or year-to-date financials for Hexagon Purus in 2024. The financials for Hexagon Purus in the tables below show Hexagon Purus' figures up to 29 June 2023 only. Reference is made Hexagon Purus' quarterly financial reports for further information.
