FINANCIAL AND VALUATION ADVISORY August 2024

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS Q2 2024

REVENUE EBITDA (EURm) (EURm) OPERATING CASH FLOW (EURm) • Q2 figures reflect firstly the slowdown in EV sales, the high pressure on battery cells and modules in the mobile and especially the electric storage industry. We improved on Q2 revenues and see increasing demand in 2H. • Margins improved with Q2 sales being higher than in Q1, but still negative. Hence, we could reduce EDITDA to - 2.1m EUR in Q2. • We are striving to reach the EBITDA break-even revenues but assume a possible negative EBITDA for the FY, as explained in the adhoc. • With increased revenues we could reduce our operating cash flow needs throughout 1H. * 1,2 4,8 Q1 2024 Q2 2024 -2,6 -2,1 Q1 2024 Q2 2024 -3,5 -2,2 Q1 2024 Q2 2024

* In 2023, missing comparable 1H consolidated data for the entire group

  • In 1H 2024, weaker revenues are due to the slow-down in EV sales and liquidation of cells and modules at OEMs in the market we participate
  • Increase in personnel costs reflect our ambition in developing our new products, new cell chemistry and especially immersion technology, also seen in the capitalized project work
  • Other operating expenses amounted to 2.8m, slightly higher than the previous year's average, reflecting increasing operational activities and investments in people
  • Financing costs increased to 1.3m due to increased capital needs in 1H, including accrued interests for loans of our main shareholder
