Highlights of Q2 2022

  • Revenue grew 123 % year over year to NOK 210 million, including NOK 142 million contribution from Wystrach driven by strong demand in distribution and rail applications. EBITDA contribution from Wystrach in the quarter was NOK 14m (10% margin)
  • Entered into an agreement to acquire 40% of Cryoshelter's liquid hydrogen business bringing early-stage expertise in liquid hydrogen tank technology for zero emission mobility applications and which could potentially result in a future complementary offering to Hexagon Purus's market leading compressed hydrogen cylinder technology
  • Hexagon Purus Maritime received its inaugural order for hydrogen cylinders to be used in onboard swappable storage containers for maritime vessels operating in inland waterways in Europe
  • Signed a 15-year lease for a new hydrogen cylinder production and office facility in Kassel, Germany, expected to be ready for move in during the second half of 2023

The Hexagon Purus Group

Unless otherwise stated, the income statements for the periods in 2021 and the balance sheet as of 31 of December 2021 presented in this document relate to Hexagon Purus' emobility business. The results of Hexagon Purus' Compressed Natural Gas Light Duty Vehicle (CNG LDV) business in 2021 are reported as discontinued operations following the successful spin-off of Hexagon Purus from the Hexagon Composites ASA group and the transfer of Hexagon Purus' CNG LDV business to new entities under the ownership of Hexagon Composites ASA which was completed on 1 of October 2021.

In the second quarter of 2022, Hexagon Purus Group ("the Company") generated NOK 210 (94) million in revenue and recorded operating profit before depreciation (EBITDA) of NOK -112 (-69) million. Revenue growth of 123 % was driven by the acquisition of Wystrach which contributed NOK 142 million in sales and NOK 14 million in EBITDA.

Reported revenue for the first half of 2022 grew 154% to NOK 369 (146) million also driven by Wystrach contribution which benefited from increased sales in Distribution and Rail applications.

Continued investments in personnel and infrastructure to support and accelerate Hexagon Purus' future growth drive negative profitability. Additionally, the Group has been subject to inflationary pressure in the cost of its key inputs which is being addressed through offsetting pricing actions as well as cost reduction efforts.

Hexagon Purus recorded a loss after tax (before profit from discontinued operations) of NOK -124 (-64) million in the second quarter of 2022. Net financial items were NOK 12 (14) million driven primarily by foreign exchange fluctuations. Tax items were NOK 0,8 (-0,8) million.

Net loss after tax (before profit from discontinued operations) in the first half of 2022 was NOK -243 (-168) million. Net financial items were NOK 7 (-20) million driven primarily by foreign exchange fluctuation and a reduction in intercompany debt positions. Tax items were NOK -0.2 (-0.6) million.

At quarter-end, the balance sheet amounted to NOK 2 526 (1 955) million and the Group's equity ratio was 71,8 % (73,9 %). The absolute increase in equity was driven by a NOK 600 million (gross) private placement completed in Q1 2022.

Key developments in first half of 2022

  • Signed a long-term binding letter of intent (BLOI) with Hino Motors Manufacturing U.S. to provide battery packs for multiple Hino truck platforms with serial production planned from 2024. The potential total sales value over the life of the BLOI is estimated at USD 1 billion
  • Signed investment agreements together with CIMC Enric to establish a joint production facility in Shijiazhuang, Hebei and the CIMC-Hexagon New Energy Technologies management office and engineering hub in Beijing Daxing District International Hydrogen Development Zone. In addition, the Shijiazhuang and Beijing Daxing governments have made a strong commitment to support the development of the CIMC-HEXAGON business in their regions through 2030.
  • Successfully completed a private placement resulting in NOK 600 million of gross proceeds
  • Entered into an agreement to acquire 40% of Cryoshelter's liquid hydrogen storage business. The transaction is in conjunction with Hexagon Composites' acquisition of a 40% stake in Cryoshelter's liquid natural gas (LNG) storage 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 earlystage expertise in liquid hydrogen tank technology for zero emission mobility applications and could potentially result in a future complementary offering to Hexagon Purus's market leading compressed hydrogen cylinder technology
  • Nominated by a leading and long-standing commercial truck OEM to provide battery packs for serial production of battery electric heavy-duty vehicles between 2024 and 2027, with an option to extend until 2029. The non-binding nomination was subsequently withdrawn by the OEM for reasons unrelated to Hexagon Purus product performance and technological capabilities. Although the withdrawal was unfortunate, the customer pipeline remains robust and it unlocks capacity to serve other potential contracts
  • Received orders worth approximately EUR 23 million for hydrogen distribution systems from various customers
  • Selected to work together with BMW, Robert Bosch and TesTneT Engineering to develop an innovative hydrogen storage system solution for future fuel cell passenger cars
  • Hexagon Purus Maritime, a wholly owned subsidiary of Hexagon Purus, received its inaugural order for cylinders to be used in onboard storage of hydrogen in maritime vessels with scheduled delivery in Q4 2022
  • Selected as partner for the second year in a row by New Flyer, North America's largest mass mobility solutions provider. Hexagon Purus will supply highpressure hydrogen storage cylinders for New Flyer's zero emission Xcelsior CHARGE H2 (TM) hydrogen fuel cell electric transit buses in 2022. Total contract value is approximately USD 2 million.
  • Received inaugural order for high-pressure hydrogen fuel systems from a Polish bus OEM for serial production of fuel cell transit buses
  • CIMC-HEXAGON signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Bravo Transport Services to develop hydrogen storage cylinder systems for hydrogen fuel-cell double decker buses in Hong Kong. The initial scope of the MoU is for CIMC-HEXAGON to provide a Type 4 hydrogen storage cylinder system for the first fuelcell double decker bus in Hong Kong with scheduled delivery in July 2022
  • Signed a 15-year lease for a new hydrogen cylinder production and office facility in Kassel, Germany, expected to be ready for move in the second half of 2023
  • Signed a 10-year lease for a 60,000 square foot facility in Westminister, USA for cylinder manufacturing and engineering, expected to be ready for move in the second half of 2022

Regarding the situation in Ukraine and Russia

The Russian invasion of Ukraine and its outfall and consequences are at the time of preparing the financial statement difficult to accurately assess and predict. However, given the Group's relatively limited investments and market activities in Russia and Ukraine and their surrounding areas, management does not assess this event to have a significant effect on the reported figures as 30 June 2022.

Key developments after balance sheet date

  • Received orders worth approximately EUR 14 million for hydrogen distribution systems from industrial gas customers. These systems with Hexagon Purus' type 4 cylinders will be used to deliver hydrogen for industrial and mobility applications in Germany and the Netherlands
  • Successfully closed the acquisition of a 40% interest in Cryoshelter's liquid hydrogen storage business
  • Jannicke Hilland stepped down as a member of the Company's Board of Directors. Ms. Hilland has seen a need to limit her number of board memberships due to overall workload
  • There have been no other significant events after the balance sheet date that have not already been disclosed in this report

Outlook

Hexagon Purus' revenue growth in the near-term continues to be driven by early adopter applications of hydrogen, primarily hydrogen distribution and fuel cell transit bus.

The acquisition of Wystrach has brought many benefits to Hexagon Purus including additional capacity to serve the rapidly growing market for distribution systems, exposure to early rail adopters, an expanded product portfolio, a recurring base business, vertical integration into systems design and manufacturing, and increased exposure to new hydrogen infrastructure applications including mobile refueling and stationary storage solutions.

Sales cycles in the automotive space can be long and highly engineering intensive. Hexagon Purus continues to execute on the scale up required to support heavy-duty truck customers such as Hino and Nikola while pursuing other opportunities in this space. As such, while revenue contribution from heavy-duty vehicle applications has been relatively low in recent quarters, development work and project activity in this key application remain high. It is expected that revenue contribution from this application will grow in the coming years as battery and fuel cell electric vehicle platforms transition to commercial start of production.

Global supply chains remain constrained and lead times for certain components such as high-pressure flow components, wire harness assemblies and battery cells remain extended while material costs have increased. It is not possible to predict when supply chains will normalize, but the Company continues to employ counter measures to mitigate such effects through proactive supplier management, prepurchasing of inventory and price increases.

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 27 billion for hydrogen infrastructure. To meet the ambition of REPower EU, Hexagon Purus expects that there will be a significant need for investments into hydrogen gas storage and transportation infrastructure with several opportunities for Hexagon Purus' leading hydrogen storage solutions portfolio..

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, such as tax credits and grants for clean fuels, including hydrogen, and clean commercial vehicles to reduce emissions from all parts of the transportation sector.

With several growth initiatives underway, including building organizational capabilities and production capacity to support customer launch activity as well as expected market demand in the coming years in North America, Europe and Asia, Hexagon Purus is in the investment phase of its development. Such investments are expected to impact profitability over the near-to-medium term.

2022 revenue is expected to grow approximately 75% year-over-year based on strong backlog and order trends; EBITDA losses are expected to widen by 50% year-overyear.

Hexagon Purus is in the early growth phase of its development with substantial capital needs over the foreseeable future. The Board of Directors and management are closely involved in ensuring that the Group has access to the required amount of capital it needs to fund this high-growth phase.

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

Hexagon Purus Group operates in markets with strict standards for quality and delivery, deviations from which could result in significant additional costs, lost sales and damage to the Group's reputation. The Group is exposed to production related risks such as production errors or shutdowns of its facilities which could have a material adverse effect on the Group's results of operations, cash flow and financial condition.

The Group is exposed to competing technologies and processes that could have a negative effect on the Group's competitive positioning, and in turn profitability and financial position.

The Group is exposed to developments in the prices of its raw materials and in particular the cost of carbon fiber and lithium-ion batteries. The prices of these raw materials are linked to various factors including developments in the price of oil, precursor commodities and energy and the prevailing market balance where supply is dependent on a limited number of suppliers.

The Group's products are subject to governmental laws and regulations, including regulations relating to quality, health and safety. The Group manufactures its products in accordance with, and its products are subject to inspection standards pursuant to, applicable regulation and requisite approvals. However, the Group cannot predict the future costs of complying with applicable regulations, standards and permits as these develop. Adoption of new laws, regulations or public requirements that impose more stringent requirements concerning the safety aspects of Hexagon Purus' products could result in increase of compliance expenditure, suspension of production, product recalls or claims from third parties, which in each case could have a material adverse effect on the Group's business, financial position, results of operations and cash flow.

To the extent the Group does not generate sufficient cash from operations to fund its existing and future business plans, the Group may need to raise additional funds through public or private debt or equity financing to execute its growth strategy and to fund capital expenditures. Adequate sources of capital funding might not be available when needed or may only be available on unfavourable terms. If funding is insufficient at any time in the future, the Group may be unable to, inter alia, fund acquisitions, take advantage of business opportunities or respond to competitive pressures, any of which could adversely impact the Group's financial condition and results of operations.

In the Board's view there are no major changes to the risk composition for the Group compared with 2021, 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. For additional information about risks and uncertainties we refer to Hexagon Purus' 2021 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.

However, the CNG LDV division was classified as discontinued operations in 2021 and is shown as a part of operating segment only for comparability. As of 1 October 2021 the CNG LDV division was sold and Purus does not have defined segments for 2022.

1) Other intangible assets consist of technology and development in addition to patents and licenses

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.

During the quarter there were no indicators of impairment of intangible assets.

1) Purus Group did not have any items classified as other financial liabilities as per 30.06.2021. Comparable figures are therefore not presented.

The table above shows the movements of current and non-current other financial liabilities in the period. Deferred payments and contingent liabilities are related to the acquisition of Wystrach and Wyrent as of November 11th, 2021.

The fair value of Wystrach at the time of acquisition was NOK 399.9 million and the acquisition was settled with NOK 147.5 million in cash, NOK 144.5 million in consideration shares in Hexagon Purus ASA, NOK 43.0 million in deferred payment (seller's credit with 5% p.a. interest) and contingent liabilities of NOK 64.9 million expected to be settled in cash in 2023 and 2024 based on 2021, 2022 and 2023 Wystrach revenue and EBITDA targets. The deferred payment (seller's credit) of NOK 43.0 million, with a closing balance of NOK 43.5 million is payable by March 31, 2023 and is presented as "Other current financial liabilities". A portion of the contingent liability of NOK 64.9 million with a closing balance of NOK 65.6 million is payable once financial statements for 2022 are adopted and is included in "Other current financial liabilities"; the remainder is payable once the 2023 financial statements are adopted and is included in "Other non-current financial liabilities".

The fair value of the contingent liabilities is assessed each quarter. At the end of the reporting period, there have been no changes to the fair value assessment.

Note 9: Financial assets and financial liabilities

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

The Group recognizes other non-current financial liabilities and current financial liabilities at fair value. All other financial asset and liabilities are recognized at amortized cost.

The management assessed that the fair values of bank deposits, cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, other non- current assets, trade payables, and other current liabilities approximate their carrying amounts largely due to the short- term maturities of these instruments

The Company has three 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 four 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 non-transferable 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 566 000 RSUs are currently 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 third share-based long term incentive plan is an employee PSU program, where 958 686 PSUs are currently issued to key personnel and management employees of the Group. Subject to satisfaction of the applicable vesting conditions and share price development, each PSU entitles eligible employees to receive up to twice the number of Hexagon Purus shares as corresponds to the number of PSUs vested on March 3, 2025.

The fourth share-based long term incentive plan is an employee RSU program, where 91 350 RSUs are currently issued to key personnel 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 on March 3, 2025.

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 5,8 million year-to-date 2022 (NOK 3,7 million). The unamortized fair value of all outstanding RSUs and PSUs as of 30 June

2022 is estimated to be NOK 48 million (NOK 20.9 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.

  • Jannicke Hilland stepped down as a member of the Company's Board of Directors. Ms. Hilland has seen a need to limit her number of board memberships due to overall workload
