1) The income statement represents Purus/e-mobility as continuing operations for all periods
All subsequent numbers in parentheses refer to comparative figures for the same period last year. All figures in NOK are rounded to the nearest million. All percentages are rounded to the nearest one percent.
Unless otherwise stated, the income statements for the periods in 2021 and 2020 and the balance sheet as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 presented in this document relate to Hexagon Purus' e-mobility business. The results of Hexagon Purus' CNG LDV business (primarily light duty vehicles) are reported as discontinued operations following the successful spin-off of Hexagon Purus from the Hexagon Composites ASA group and the intended transfer of Hexagon Purus' CNG LDV business to new entities underthe ownership of Hexagon Composites ASA outside Purus.
In the first quarter of 2021, Hexagon Purus Group ("the Company") generated NOK 57 (48) million in revenue and recorded operating profit before depreciation (EBITDA) of NOK -62 (-43) million. Revenue growth was driven by increased activity in hydrogen distribution applications as well as aerospace with slightly lower revenue contribution from heavy duty vehicle applications due to the completion of a battery electric (BEV) truck demonstration program in Q1 2020.
Continued investments in personnel and infrastructure to support and accelerate Hexagon Purus' future growth drive negative profitability.
Hexagon Purus recorded a net loss after tax (before profit from discontinued operations) of NOK -105 (-60) million in the first quarter of 2021. Net financial items were NOK -33 (-17) million mainly driven by foreign exchange fluctuation effects. Tax items were NOK 0 (-6) million.
At quarter-end, the balance sheet amounted to NOK 2,061 (1,136) million and the Group's equity ratio was 74%. The year-over-year increase in equity was driven primarily by a NOK 750 million (gross) capital raise completed in conjunction with the listing of the Company on Euronext Growth Oslo as well as the conversion to equity of intercompany debt of NOK 1 340 million between Hexagon Purus and Hexagon Composites in the fourth quarter of 2020.
Six confirmed cases of COVID-19 infection were reported among Hexagon Purus personnel in the first quarter of 2021, all of whom have recovered or are recovering. All production facilities have remained open and only marginally affected during the quarter. For more detail on the Company's risks, responses,impacts and resilience in relation to the COVID-19 pandemic, please refer to the Outlook section of this report.

Outlook
The momentum for zero emissions solutions powered by Hexagon Purus' product offering and capabilities continues to grow as evidenced by recent commercial success across a wide spectrum of applications with customers such as Certarus, New Flyer, Nikola, Talgo and large industrial gas companies.
Following the signing of the joint venture agreements with CIMC Enric to enter the Chinese and Southeast Asian markets, both parties continue to progress discussions and activities towards a successful close and joint venture formation in 2021. The Chinese market for Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles (FCEVs) is expected to grow to become the largest global market over the next decade and beyond.
Hexagon Purus is taking the steps needed to transition to a high volume manufacturer as it gears up for start of serial production for its Northeast Asian light duty vehicle OEM customer and Nikola over the near-to-medium term in addition to readying itself for expected market demand in North America, Europe and China across mobility applications. As such, continued investments in personnel, production capacity, product development and R&D will continue to impact profitability and cash flow for the foreseeable future.
Hexagon Purus expects to achieve more than 50% revenue growth year-over-year and EBITDA losses to widen in 2021.
Hexagon Purus is closely monitoring the COVID-19 situation and has prepared contingency plans at each site. The pandemic has made global supply chains more uncertain and has extended the lead times for certain components, including battery cells. The Company is not able to accurately predict the final outcome from COVID-19 related effects but will remain vigilant and committed to employing further counter measures to mitigate such effects, if required.
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.

Notes
Note 1: Introduction
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the first quarter 2021, which ended 31 March 2021, comprise Hexagon Purus ASA and its subsidiaries (together referred to as "the Group").
Hexagon Purus ASA (previously Hexagon Purus AS and Hexagon Purus Holding AS), the parent of Hexagon Purus Group, is a public limited liability company with its registered office in Norway. The company's headquarters are at Korsegata 4B, 6002 Aalesund, Norway. Hexagon Purus ASA was listed on Euronext Growth, Oslo, under the ticker HPUR on 14 December 2020.
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 interim consolidated financial statements of the Group for the full year 2020 which ended 31 December 2020. For a more detailed description of accounting principles see the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2020.
The accounting principles used in the preparation of these interim accounts are the same as those applied to the annual consolidated financial statements referred to above. Where relevant, additional accounting principles are included in this interim quarter one report. 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 a modest impact on our business in the first quarter of 2021 with six confirmed cases in our facilities. No significant disruption to activities was experienced. The effects are described in more detail in the Board of Director's report for Q1 2021. 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 10 May 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.
Note 3: Discontinued operation
CNG LDV as discontinued operation
On 19 August 2020, Hexagon Composites announced the decision of its Board of Directors to transfer its Compressed Natural Gas Light Duty Vehicle (CNG LDV) activities from Hexagon Purus to Hexagon Composites' natural gas-mobility (g-mobility) business. This transfer will establish Hexagon Purus as a pure e-mobility business. The decision was made by relevant management levels and the financial elements of the transactions are concluded. The completion of the demerger process in Germany is expected to take place during 2021. It is unlikely that any changes will be made to the planned transition.
The results of the CNG LDV operation are presented below.

Terms of the interest-bearing positions have been at fair value floating quarterly.
At end of third quarter 2020, net debt positions in Hexagon Purus against Hexagon Composites were converted to interest bearing debt. On 30 October 2020, the net debt position was converted to equity. The residual loan balance will be settled against a share purchase agreement where Hexagon Composites acquires the CNG LDV entities from Hexagon Composites Germany GmbH. The remaining residual intercompany debt after the completion of this share purchase agreement, will be settled in cash as soon as the demerger process is completed.
Note 5: Share-based payments
The Company has two share-based long-term incentive plans. The first plan is a management investment program with Performance Share Units ("PSUs") matching. This plan is limited to five members of the executive management team. Each eligible employee will in 2024 be entitled to up to three new shares in the Company per share invested, at no consideration, provided he or she is still employed in the Company at such date. The entitlement depends on fulfilment of three criteria, one per matching share. One criterion is tied to increase in share price, one is tied to Company performance criteria and one is tied to continued employment.
On 14 December 2020, the Company announced that key members of Hexagon Purus' executive management team exercised their right to purchase the maximum number of shares allowable in the management investment program, equal to a total number of 210 621 shares. As part of this management investment program, the Company awarded up to 421 242 related PSUs and 210 621 Restricted Stock Units ("RSUs") to the executives. The instruments are nontransferable and will vest in 2024 when the Board of Directors approve the annual accounts for 2023, subject to satisfaction of the applicable vesting conditions. Each vested instrument will give the holder the right to receive one share in the Company.
The second share-based long term incentive plan is an employee RSU program, where 496 000 RSUs have been issued to key personnel and management employees of the Group. Subject to satisfaction of the applicable vesting conditions, each RSU entitles eligible employees to receive such number of Hexagon Purus shares as corresponds to the number of RSUs vested at the date on which the Company's Board of Directors approves the Company's annual accounts for the financial year of 2023.
The fair value of the RSUs and PSUs are calculated on the grant date, using the Black-Scholes model and Monte Carlo simulation, and the cost is recognized over the service period. Cost of the RSU and PSU schemes, including social security, was NOK 19 million year-to-date 31 March 2021. The unamortized fair value of all outstanding RSUs and PSUs as of 31 March 2021 is estimated to be NOK 22.9 million.
There are no cash settlement obligations. As these programs do not have a precedent in the Group, the Group does not have a past practice of cash settlement for outstanding instruments.
