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' e-mobility 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 ownershipof Hexagon Composites ASA which was completed on 1 of October 2021.

In the first quarter of 2022, Hexagon Purus Group ("the Company") generated NOK 159 (52) million in revenue and recorded operating profit before depreciation (EBITDA) of NOK -93 (-62) million. Revenue growth of 209 % was driven primarily by continued strength in hydrogen distribution as well as the acquisition of Wystrach which contributed NOK 107 million in sales and NOK 7.7 million in EBITDA.

Continued investments in personnel and infrastructure to support and accelerate Hexagon Purus' future growth drive negative profitability.

Hexagon Purus recorded a profit after tax (before profit from discontinued operations) of NOK -118 (-105) million in the first quarter of 2022. Net financial items were NOK -3 (-33) million driven by a reduction in interest on intercompany debt positions and foreign exchange fluctuations. Tax items were NOK -1 (0) million.

At quarter-end, the balance sheet amounted to NOK 2 526 (2 061) million and the Group's equity ratio was 74,1 %.

73 confirmed cases of COVID-19 infection were reported among Hexagon Purus personnel in 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.

Key developments

  • 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
  • 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 potential total sales value for the initial period from 2024-2027 is estimated at approximately USD 800 million, increasing to approximately USD 1.2 billion if the extension option is exercised
  • 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
  • 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
  • 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 high-pressure 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
  • Received orders worth approximately EUR 7.2 million for hydrogen distribution systems from various customers
  • Signed a 10-year lease for a new 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 assess and predict. However, given the Group's relatively limited investments and market activities in Russia and Ukraine and their surrounding areas, the management does not assess this event to have a significant effect on the reported figures as of March 31, 2022.

Key developments after balance sheet date

  • Entered into an agreement to acquire 40% of Cryoshelter's liquid hydrogen business. The transaction is in conjunction with Hexagon Composites' acquisition of a 40% stake in Cryoshelter's liquid natural gas (LNG) business. Cryoshelter's liquid hydrogen tank technology is in the early stage of development and builds on superior and differentiated LNG technology that provides more fuel capacity and longer hold times (a critical requirement for cryogenic storage) than competing offerings. The transaction brings early-stage expertise in liquid hydrogen tank technology for zero emission mobility applications and could potentially result in a future complementary offering to Hexagon Purus's market leading compressed hydrogen cylinder technology
  • Received an order worth EUR 1.5 million for hydrogen distribution systems from a leading global industrial gas company
  • 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
  • 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 fuel-cell double decker bus in Hong Kong with scheduled delivery in July 2022
  • Hexagon Purus Maritime, a wholly owned subsidiary of Hexagon Purus, has received its inaugural order for cylinders to be used in onboard storage of hydrogen in maritime vessels with scheduled delivery in Q4 2022
  • 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 GmbH has brought many benefits to Hexagon Purus including 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 has recently experienced significant commercial traction with its battery system offerings with two OEMs – one, a binding letter of intent with Hino Motors and the other, a nomination by an established and longstanding OEM for serial production starting in 2024. The combined revenue potential with both OEMs is estimated at USD 1.8-2.2 billion over the next several years. This is in addition to the long-term hydrogen cylinder supply agreement previously signed with Nikola Motors for their flagship Nikola TRE fuel cell electric truck. 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.

Hexagon Purus is closely monitoring the COVID-19 situation and has prepared contingency plans at each site. The pandemic, together with the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict, has made global supply chains more uncertain and continues to extend the lead times for certain components, including high pressure flow components, wire harness assemblies and battery cells. It is not possible to accurately predict the final outcome of these events or precisely when supply chains will normalize, but the Company will remain vigilant and committed to employing further counter measures to mitigate such effects.

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% based on strong backlog and order trends; EBITDA losses are expected to widen by 50%.

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.

For management purposes, the assessment is that the Purus Group has historically had two operating segments: Purus and CNG LDV. 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 31.03.2021. 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 2.1 million year-to-date 2022 (NOK 1.9 million). The unamortized fair value of all outstanding RSUs and PSUs as of 31 March 2022 is

estimated to be NOK 16.8 million (NOK 22.9 million as of 31 March 2021).

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.

Note 11: Events after the balance sheet date

  • Entered into an agreement to acquire 40% of Cryoshelter's liquid hydrogen business. The transaction is in conjunction with Hexagon Composites' acquisition of a 40% stake in Cryoshelter's liquid natural gas (LNG) business. Cryoshelter's liquid hydrogen tank technology is in the early stage of development and builds on superior and differentiated LNG technology that provides more fuel capacity and longer hold times (a critical requirement for cryogenic storage) than competing offerings. The transaction brings early-stage expertise in liquid hydrogen tank technology for zero emission mobility applications and could potentially result in a future complementary offering to Hexagon Purus's market leading compressed hydrogen cylinder technology
  • Received an order worth EUR 1.5 million for hydrogen distribution systems from a leading global industrial gas company
  • Signed a 15-year lease for a new production and office facility in Kassel, Germany, expected to be ready for move in the second half of 2023
  • 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 fuel-cell double decker bus in Hong Kong with scheduled delivery in July 2022
  • Hexagon Purus Maritime, a wholly owned subsidiary of Hexagon Purus, has received its inaugural order for cylinders to be used in onboard storage of hydrogen in maritime vessels with scheduled delivery in Q4 2022
  • There have been no other significant events after the balance sheet date that have not already been disclosed in this report
