EBIT
Financial results
In the second quarter of 2021, Hexagon (excl.Purus) generated NOK 726 (691) million in revenues and recorded an operating profit before depreciation (EBITDA) of NOK 71 (38) million. The top-line growth was 17% before negative year-over-year foreign currency translation effects of NOK -80 million. These impacts, mainly driven by US and German based operations, apply also to the cost base of those operations and are therefore less significant at EBITDA level.
The Hexagon (excl. Purus) results are robust in light of global supply chain challenges mainly related to the pandemic. These resulted in delayed sales of NOK 72 million within Hexagon Agility as well as somewhat higher prices of inbound raw materials and transport costs, mainly affecting Hexagon Ragasco.
Overall demand remains high with significant order backlog for the rest of 2021.
The strong US Truck business momentum continued in the quarter driving solid turnover within the Medium & Heavy-Duty automotive business, despite supply chain challenges including a strike at an OEM, leading to sales being delayed to the third quarter. Headwinds from the global semiconductor shortage continued to impact negatively on CNG LDV volumes from Volkswagen. Hexagon Ragasco closed a strong first half-year sales performance, including sales to Bangladesh in the quarter, while Hexagon Digital Wave is on track with its organizational ramp-up and preparations for growth both near and longer term.
The first half of 2021 provided revenues for Hexagon (excl. Purus) of NOK 1,416 (1,493) million and an operating profit before depreciation (EBITDA) of NOK 159 (120) million.
In the second quarter of 2021, Hexagon Purus generated NOK 94 (46) million in revenue and recorded operating profit before depreciation (EBITDA) of NOK -69 (-20) million. Revenue growth of 104% was driven by increased activity in hydrogen distribution and transit bus applications.
Reported revenue of Hexagon Purus for the first half of 2021 grew 54% to NOK 146 (94) million driven by increased distribution, transit bus and aerospace business partially offset by lower heavy-duty revenue while EBITDA was NOK –131 (64) million.
Effective start of 2021, the CNG Light-Duty business (previously reported as part of Hexagon Purus), was transferred to Hexagon g-mobility. Hexagon Purus remains fully consolidated in the Hexagon Group accounts after its spin-off in December 2020, with Hexagon retaining a 75% ownership.
One hundred thirty-three confirmed cases of COVID-19 infection to date have been reported among Hexagon Group personnel including one fatality. All production facilities have remained open and only marginally affected during the quarter.

Segment results
Hexagon g-mobility (Hexagon Agility & CNG LDV)
Hexagon g-mobility recorded combined revenues for the quarter of NOK 537 million compared with proforma NOK 495 million for the corresponding period last year. Growth was 24% year-over-year before unfavorable foreign currency translation effects of NOK -75 million. EBITDA generated was NOK 44 million compared with NOK -7 million the corresponding period last year.
Automotive revenues continue to be driven by strong sustainability driven demand in Heavy-Duty Truck and European Transit bus. The North American truck customer supply chain challenges referred to earlier in this report led to sales being delayed to the third quarter. Refuse truck volumes were steady in the quarter versus the same quarter in 2020, while Medium-Duty truck sales for a major customer have been delayed to the second half of the year. North American transit bus volumes increased 51% over the same quarter last year which was significantly impacted by the pandemic.
Increasing compressed natural gas (CNG) and renewable natural gas (RNG) adoption in Europe is driven by tough EU clean air directives requiring compliance within 2025. The recent inclusion of RNG as a mitigating technology in the EU taxonomy regulation is expected to fuel rather significant demand growth in the EU. In the US, adoption of RNG fuel is on the rise and data for 2020 showed that RNG fuel accounted for as much as 53% of all on-road fuel used in CNG vehicles in the US. In California the RNG rate was above 90%.
CNG Light-duty automotive revenues, principally from Volkswagen, remain at low levels due to effects of the global semi-conductor shortage impacting car production. Capacity in Germany has been utilized towards manufacturing of hydrogen cylinders for Hexagon Purus.
In Hexagon Agility's Mobile Pipeline business, revenues for the quarter were 47% higher than the same quarter in 2020, bringing the business unit back to break even at EBITDA level. This was driven by higher sales of new SmartStore and Titan-4 modules. Still, due to some customer related delays, deliveries of NOK 27 million scheduled for the second quarter were pushed out to the third quarter. The business unit also received further large orders totaling USD 15.8 million (approx. NOK 140 million), confirming the rapid momentum of demand increase in 2021. Half of the orders are for delivery within the year and the other half in first quarter 2022.
Total Hexagon g-mobility revenues for the first half-year of 2021 were NOK 1,063 (1,120) million with an EBITDA of NOK 102 (44) million.
Hexagon Digital Wave
Revenues amounted to NOK 12 (13) million with EBITDA of NOK -4 (0) million in the second quarter.
Hexagon Digital Wave is preparing the business for significant growth, currently investing in its organization and focusing on product development for the next generation of digitalization. This involves effective real-time health monitoring of cylinder systems and connected services.
Revenues for the first half-year of 2021 were NOK 23 (27) million with an EBITDA of NOK -8 (0) million.
Hexagon Ragasco (LPG)
Revenues were NOK 175 (174) million with an EBITDA of NOK 34 (41) million in the second quarter of 2021. Sales in the quarter were principally to Europe and the Nordics but were boosted by significant volumes to South-Asia. Hexagon Ragasco recorded solid EBITDA results despite some negative impacts due to higher raw material costs and a less favorable product mix.
Raw material supplies have been impacted by recent global supply-chain challenges, and their knock-on-effects, which have led to increases in prices and transportation costs for some materials.
Progress continues on the technology and initiating pilot programs with major customers in Europe for the new SMART cylinder concept.
Revenues for the first half-year of 2021 were NOK 322 (327) million with an EBITDA of NOK 68 (71) million
Hexagon Purus (Zero Emission Hydrogen & Battery electric solutions)
In the second quarter of 2021, Hexagon Purus generated NOK 94 (46) million in revenue and recorded operating profit before depreciation (EBITDA) of NOK -69 (-20) million. Revenue growth of 104% was driven by increased activity in hydrogen distribution and transit bus applications.
At quarter-end, the balance sheet amounted to NOK 1,955 (999) million and the Group's equity ratio was 74%.
The first half of 2021 provided revenues of NOK 146 (94) million and an operating profit before depreciation (EBITDA) of NOK -131 (-64) million
Please refer to the separate Q2 2021 Board of Directors report for Hexagon Purus ASA.
The Group
In the second quarter of 2021, Hexagon Group, including Hexagon Purus, generated NOK 788 (683) million in revenues and recorded an operating profit before depreciation (EBITDA) of NOK 3 (19) million. Due primarily to the consolidation of the 75% ownership of Hexagon Purus, Hexagon Group recorded a net loss after tax of NOK -72 (-77) million in the quarter. Net financial items were NOK -9 (-39) million driven by positive balance sheet related foreign exchange fluctuation effects of NOK 10 (-38) million, interest of NOK -15 (-17) million and other items including credits of NOK -5 (16) million. Tax charges were NOK -4 (8) million. The charges this quarter 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. However, these carried forward losses remain available for use against future profits by Hexagon Purus.
The balance sheet is mainly exposed to non-cash effects of translation to NOK of USD/EUR positions. In this quarter movement in both the USD and EUR have been significant. The bond currency swap (from NOK to USD) was employed to mitigate a significant part of the USD currency exposure and has been renewed in the quarter. The settlement resulted in NOK 106 million cash for which the substantial part of this has been taken to the profit and loss in previous periods. Movements in the quarter related to currency have been NOK 7 million negative, as further positive effects in the quarter of the previous swap were offset by negative effects of the new swap.
In the first half of 2021, Hexagon Group, including Hexagon Purus, generated NOK 1,481 (1,508) million in revenues and recorded an operating profit before depreciation (EBITDA) of NOK 28 (56) million. Hexagon Group recorded a net loss after tax of NOK -165 (-15) million in the first half-year. Net financial items were NOK -58 (67) million driven by negative foreign exchange fluctuation effects of NOK -16 (115) million, and interest and other charges or credits of NOK -43 (-48) million. Tax charges were NOK -9 (-11) million.
At quarter-end the Group balance sheet amounted to NOK 5,972 (5,161) million and the Group's equity ratio was 58% (43%). The year-over-year increase in equity ratio was driven primarily by the issue of NOK 907 million of new share capital in the third quarter and the listing and private placement of NOK 750 million in Hexagon Purus recognized in the fourth quarter 2020.
ESG efforts
Hexagon focuses its Environmental, Social, Governance (ESG) efforts on seven of the U.N. Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs): (3) Good health and wellbeing; (7) Affordable and clean energy; (8) Decent work and economic growth; (9) Industry, innovation and infrastructure; (11) Sustainable cities and communities; (12) Responsible consumption and production; and (13) Climate action. The seven prioritized SDGs are closely linked to Hexagon's core operations and are in line with the Group's business strategy.
Hexagon will, on a bi-annual basis, report a selection of its key ESG indicators.
In the first half of 2021, Hexagon's mobility solutions enabled a wide range of mobility, industrial and consumer applications to convert to cleaner energy – avoiding the release of 428,000 metric tons of CO2 equivalent. To put it in perspective, it equates to removing 93,000 petroleum cars from the road for a year or planting 524,000 acres of forest. In addition, Hexagon Ragasco provided substantial volumes of LPG cylinders to lesser developed countries, bringing cleaner and safer fuel sources to meet vital domestic energy needs.
The Group reported lost time incident frequency (LTI) of 0.51 in the first half of 2021 compared with 0.69 in full year 2020. Hexagon is committed to reduce LTI and is working systematically with health and safety training as well as reporting and tracking.
Hexagon actively supports gender balance in business. In the first half of 2021, women made up 21% of managers in Hexagon, which compares to 18% in the full year 2020.
Hexagon continues to promote zero tolerance for corruption and anti-competitive behavior. In 2021 the company introduced an improved, interactive anticorruption training program for its employees. By year end 2021 the goal is to have 100% completion.

Hexagon Ragasco awarded Environmental Product Declaration (EPD)
Hexagon Ragasco received an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) from EPD Norway for its production of Type-4 composite LPG cylinders in July 2021.
An EPD discloses a product's life cycle environmental impact and helps users to identify sustainable products. Both the underlying LCA (Life-Cycle Assessment) and the EPD are based upon international standards.
Hexagon Ragasco's EPD relates to the LCA which quantifies the environmental impact related to the production phase. This includes the production and transport of raw materials, the production of composite cylinders at Hexagon's Raufoss manufacturing plant in Norway, and the transport of finished composite cylinders from the manufacturing plant to the port of Oslo.
The EPD increases our transparency and the LCA will be used as a strategic tool in our efforts to further improve the environmental impacts related to our composite cylinders.
EU taxonomy update
In May, The EU Taxonomy 'Climate Delegated Act', which aims to support sustainable investment by making it clearer which economic activities most contribute to meeting the EU's environmental objectives, was formally adopted. The Act qualifies Renewable natural gas (RNG) as a substantial contributor to climate change mitigation and as part of the energy transformation in Europe.
After balance sheet date
There have been no subsequent events requiring additional disclosure.
Outlook
Both the g-mobility and e-mobility businesses are on track to deliver on their short- and long-term growth ambitions and plans. The EU Taxonomy and the renewed US commitment to the Paris Agreement will give additional momentum to the energy transformation already well under way. Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) represents the fuel alternative with the highest CO2 mitigating potential in the transportation sector in this decade and is expected to drive strong growth of Hexagon's g-mobility business. Meanwhile Hexagon Purus continues to gain momentum as the global market leader in cylinders and systems for storage and transportation of hydrogen.
The negative demand effects of the COVID-19 pandemic are for the most part behind us while supply chain disruptions, especially for semi-conductors and battery cells, remain a short-term concern. Hexagon will remain vigilant with regards to the COVID-19 pandemic and employ further countermeasures to mitigate negative effects, if required.
Despite a growing renewable share, the energy transition is nowhere near fast enough to deliver on The Paris Agreement. In order to escalate the energy transition, a lot more renewable power, decarbonization actions, energyefficiency improvements, and carbon capture are needed.
Hexagon's extensive portfolio of gas mobility (g-mobility) and electric mobility (e-mobility) solutions, and its new center of excellence for Smart Technologies, positions it as a globally leading clean technology provider in this new reality.
We see leading market players in hard-to-abate segments adapting to meet new sustainability targets, e.g.:
- Amazon has ordered 700 CNG trucks and signed an agreement with Clean Energy Fuel for 27 proprietary refueling stations to secure the supply of RNG to its growing fleet.
- UPS is planning to purchase more than 6000 natural gas vehicles between 2020 – 2022
- Anheuser-Busch plans to convert its entire long-haul dedicated fleet to renewable energy-powered trucks by 2025
- Deutsche Post DHL Group decides to invest EUR 7 billion in climate-neutral logistics, including electric vehicles which will be deployed for last-mile deliveries, resulting in 60% electrification of the fleet and an increase in the share of sustainable fuels in line haul to over 30% by 2030
- Toyota and Hino are launching zero emissions heavy and medium duty trucks
- Hyundai targets to sell 670,000 electric vehicles annually by 2025, comprising 560,000 BEVs and 110,000 fuel-cell electric vehicles (FCEVs)
- Waste Management intends to cut fleet emissions by 45% by 2038
The 2020 spin-off of Hexagon Purus is viewed as an important step for strengthening both Hexagon's gmobility and e-mobility (Hexagon Purus) businesses. The stock-listing unlocks further value from an industrial and financial perspective by creating two focused companies, each with its own strategic agenda and investment story. The separation also allows the two businesses to have individual strategies for future funding, capital allocation and dividend policy. Hexagon Purus is attractively positioned to benefit from the tremendous growth that is expected in the e-mobility market.
Hexagon Agility is expecting the European bus business to be strong in 2021– mainly due to its ramp up following the onset of COVID-19, while the transit bus sector in North America remains stable. The refuse segment is anticipated to be softer in the second half of 2021 but is expected rebound in 2022.
In light of an aggressive green regulatory landscape worldwide and an increasing demand for RNG solutions, we are accelerating our global capacity expansion strategy. New cylinder production capacity will be located at the existing Hexagon campus in Salisbury, North Carolina and is expected to increase our incremental production capacity by 30% from 2023 and onwards. The planned expansion represents an investment of around NOK 250 million.
Hexagon Agility's Mobile Pipeline business is experiencing a rebound, driven by strong demand from the onshore oil and gas, RNG, industrial gas and mobile refueling units form North America as well as energy intensive and power generation orders from South America. However, temporary supply chain shortages of key components such as chassis may cause some postponements from one quarter to another.
Automotive manufacturers are affected by the temporary global shortage of semiconductors due to Covid-19 related supply issues. Production by our key customer Volkswagen is expected to be impacted and consequently, revenues in Hexagon's CNG LDV are expected to be negatively impacted short term. Recovery is expected at the end of the year or early next year. Meanwhile, the existing production capacity is shifted and utilized for RNG/CNG and hydrogen bus customers.
Hexagon Ragasco is expecting seasonally softer demand from the European leisure market in the second half of 2021 compared to the first half of 2021, while volumes to the European domestic markets expect to remain stable. The demand from the South Asia market is expected to be positive in the second half of 2021.
Risks and uncertanties
The Hexagon Composites Group is active in sales and purchasing in many geographies and markets. Export represents 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 2020, including those specifically concerning the COVID-19 pandemic. It is not possible to know the precise impacts to the global macro economy of the pandemic and to which extent these may or may not persist. The Group is by nature also exposed to the movements in oil and diesel prices and how these directly or indirectly impact the business positively or negatively. For additional information about risks and uncertainties we refer to Hexagon Composites' 2020 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. The demand for the company's Mobile Pipeline® products is driven by conversion from petroleum fuels to cleaner CNG and RNG. RNG is recognized as the fastest and most effective solution currently available to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. This is an important diversification should the weakening of the U.S. onshore oil & gas activity continue. Hexagon Ragasco volumes remain at a high level, however with an unfavorable product mix. The business will continue to grow its positions in Asia and the Middle East, which is expected to balance a continued relatively weak European demand.

Notes
Note 1: Introduction
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements for 1st half-year 2021, which ended 30 June 2021, comprise Hexagon Composites ASA and its subsidiaries (together referred to as "The Group").
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standard (IFRS), 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 2020.
For a more detailed description of accounting principles see the consolidated financial statements for 2020.
Hexagon Composites was until 2020 comprised of four business segments:
- Hexagon Purus
- Hexagon Agility
- Hexagon Mobile Pipeline & Other
- Hexagon Ragasco LPG
From 2021 Agility Fuel Solutions and Hexagon Mobile Pipeline incl. CNG/LDV joined forces to create Hexagon G-Mobility. The combination enables improved operational flexibility and the pursuit of combined global market opportunities. As a result of the growing market opportunities for cylinder testing technology Hexagon Digital Wave is a new business segment from 2021. The new segment and reporting structure from 2021 is:
- Hexagon G-Mobility
- Hexagon Purus
- Hexagon Ragasco LPG
- Hexagon Digital Wave
Comparable figures for the new segments are prepared on proforma basis.
The accounting principles used in the preparation of these interim accounts are the same as those applied to the consolidated financial statements for 2020. The Group has not early adopted any other standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued but is not yet effective.
The coronavirus has had some effects to our business in the half year 2021. Demand is strong however we see are experiencing delays directly or indirectly related to the impact to global industry supply chains of the pandemic. In addition there are typically higher input material costs due to transportation levies and restricted supply. The effects are described in more detail by segment in the Board of Director's report for Q2. . Assuming these are transitory, limited longterm consequences from the pandemic have so far been observed. We have concluded that so far as we can see at the time of preparation and resolution of these interim accounts, there is no need for impairments to balance sheet items as a result of the global pandemic
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on 11 August 2021.
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 2020.
