Message from the CEO
Setting the standard for 3D metal printing
Norsk Titanium has become a global leader in metal 3D printing, from humble beginnings in the Norwegian countryside in 2007. The proprietary and protected 3D printing technology platform Rapid Plasma Deposition (RPDTM) is built on a digital backbone which enables a highly scalable business model. Our technology can add significant value to the titanium market through lower materials consumption, shorter lead-times, and reduced supply chain cost, all while significantly reducing the environmental footprint.
Our commercial efforts are initially focusing on a select group of industries for which the adoption of 3D printed titanium parts will add substantial value compared to existing materials and production methods. These industries include commercial aerospace structures and engines, defense, and large industries such as consumer electronics, oil & gas, and renewable energy equipment.
Commercial aerospace represents both a large market opportunity and the ultimate proof-of-concept of our RPDTM technology. The very strict quality requirements and long qualification programs in this industry serve as natural barriers to entry into this market. Our commercial agreements with industry leading players like Boeing, Airbus, Spirit, and other tier-one suppliers represent both significant revenue opportunities over time and an assurance of the quality of our technology.
This experience opens the door to other markets with large long-term potential for value creation. We took our first steps into the defense market in 2020, and have this year received the first industrial market qualification purchase order for RPDTM-produced parts with a semiconductor equipment manufacturer.
Our efforts to finalize ongoing customer qualification programs are high on our agenda, as we work to position ourselves as the preferred supplier of serially produced parts for aerospace and other selected markets.
Over the years, we have developed a broad network of industry and development partners, including the European Space Agency (ESA), the State of New York, our world-class customers, and our dedicated shareholders. In May 2021, we successfully raised USD 38 million in a private placement and listed our shares on the Euronext Growth exchange in Oslo. This further broadens our investor network and secured the capital to scale-up and industrialize our leading technology and further expand our commercial efforts.
We see a huge market potential in 3D metal printing and are in pole position to take our share of the market value creation with leading, proprietary technology covered by a broad patent portfolio.
"We see a growing use of titanium across industries, and we are in position to rapidly scale along increased demand for consistent forged quality material"
– CEO Michael Canario
Board of directors' report
Technology and operational review
Norsk Titanium is capable of industrial scale production operations to deliver structural 3D printing solutions to multiple markets. Norsk Titanium has established a leading position within the additive sector, through a world class manufacturing facility in Plattsburgh with a total installed annual capacity of 620 MT utilizing 31 RPD™ machines. When operating at capacity the manufacturing facility in Plattsburgh is expected to generate revenues more than USD 300 million per year. The technology development center in Norway has three additional RPD™ machines with an annual capacity of 60 MT utilized for a mix of development and production efforts.
Typically, Norsk Titanium's RPDTM technology consumes 3-4 kg raw material input for every 1 kg of final parts produced, reducing raw material consumption from a typical 12 kg needed in traditional forgings. The RPD™ technology produces parts with material properties equal to legacy manufacturing methods. Our additive process also has the ability to customize deliveries in a high-rate serial production environment and drastically reduce production costs and lead-times.
To extract the value of the RPDTM technology, our customers have to validate the performance of the RPDTM-parts produced for their intended applications.
The extent of qualification varies by market and application. Norsk Titanium works with manufacturers to develop specifications across
various markets. Commercial Aerospace is the first market where we have achieved serial production.
As a fully qualified supplier to the world leading manufacturers within commercial aerospace structures, Norsk Titanium has multiple contracts with ongoing parts deliveries. In 2020 the company moved into the defense industry and is currently qualifying for multiple US Department of Defense (DOD) prime contractors.
Foundational Principles:
Repeatable, Scalable and Robust RPDTM Process Measured Through a Robust Data Management Platform
Norsk Titanium is at the forefront of industrializing a high quality, large scale additive manufacturing process that will enable its customers to become flexible and nimble, save production and inventory costs, and reduce the time it takes to bring a product to market. The industrial process foundation is a robust data management platform which is utilized to continuously improve its process and automate production processes. The RPDTM technology and platform is protected by a total of 127 patents, of which 22 new in the first half of 2021 and further 56 patent applications pending. In late 2020, Innovation Norway awarded Norsk Titanium a NOK 35 million grant to complete specific projects that leverages the data platform to continue to reduce the time from design to print. 30 per cent of the grant was received in the first half of 2021.
Operational Principles:
Excellence Through an Organization That Improves Velocity Of Business Processes For Customers
Norsk Titanium'stop operational priorities are perfect quality and 100% on time delivery and is currently delivering seven part numbers to the Boeing 787 program through three major Tier 1 Boeing suppliers. Norsk Titanium's AS9100D approved quality system has ensured 100% quality for all production deliveries. During the first half of 2021, a total of 366 parts were delivered, achieving 100% on-time delivery.
Market Penetration Vision:
Competitive Parts Production in Commercial Aerospace and Diversified Structural Titanium Market
Norsk Titanium continues to work with Boeing to extend the testing envelope in the Boeing specification to increase the number of addressable structural titanium parts Norsk Titanium can produce for Boeing aircraft. Boeing is currently testing development material, with the next planned release of the Boeing specification in 4Q21. It is anticipated that additional testing will continue through 2022 and 2023 to permit application of RPDTM in larger, more structurally loaded parts.
Initial material evaluation with Airbus is completed and Norsk Titanium is currently executing a machine qualification effort to support initial production of commercial parts in mid-2022.
Expanded Go-to-Market Strategy:
RPDTM Adaptability In New Markets Through Diversified Superalloys and Strategic Markets
Qualifications for US Department of Defense (DOD):
Initiated last year, Norsk Titanium is executing a qualification and demonstration program for critical aircraft components with a prime US DOD contractor. During the first half of 2021 the company secured an additional contract with another DOD prime contractor for a full material qualification and specification development program for the application of RPDTM technology across all of their platforms. This multi-year effort is fully funded and will include delivery of test articles representing 10 different lots of raw materials manufactured on multiple RPDTM machines.
Qualifications for Other Markets:
Initial efforts to adapt our RPD™ technology to markets outside of aerospace have received strong positive feedback. The first demonstration and qualification order for an industrial component was received in the first quarter of this year. The funded development effort with Hittech to produce a structural element of a semiconductor manufacturing machine represents Norsk Titanium's first step towards serial production in the industrial sector. The RPDTM form will be nearly 100 kg, and if successfully qualified it will be transitioned to production in late 2022.
Financial review
Norsk Titanium is in the early stages of commercialization with a keen focus on product qualification and development programs with customers. Revenue from serial production amounted to USD 0.3 million in the first half of 2021, in addition Norsk Titanium recognized USD 2.6 million from grants and the forgiveness of the loan under the US CARES Payroll Protection Program as other income. Currently customer funding for qualification and development efforts is offset against costs and not reflected in revenue. The operating loss (EBIT) amounted to USD 9.7 million in the first half 2021, with a loss before tax of USD 8.6 million. The company strengthened its funding and liquidity position through capital increases in the first half 2021 and reports an asset-to-equity ratio of 83% and a cash position of USD 35.1 million per June 30.
Income Statement
During the first half of 2021, Norsk Titanium overall delivered 366 parts under serial production contracts. Revenue from serial production deliveries amounted to USD 0.3 million, whereas revenue of USD 0.3 million from funded development efforts in defense were offset against costs.
Other income amounted to USD 2.6 million, which mainly reflects grants and US CARES Payroll Protection Program.
Operating expenses amounted to USD 11.0 million, generating an EBITDA-loss of USD 8.2 million. Employee benefit costs amounted to USD 6.7 million and raw material and other consumables costs to USD 1.4 million. Other operating expenses amounted to USD 3.0 million.
Depreciation and amortization amounted to USD 1.4 million for the first half 2021 on all non-current assets. The operating loss (EBIT) was hence a negative USD 9.7 million for the first half of 2021.
Net financial income was USD 1.0 million in first half 2021, compared to a loss of USD 8.2 million in the same period last year, reflecting increased foreign exchange gains and a reduction in interest expenses. Loss before taxes hence amounted to USD 8.6 million, compared to a loss of USD 22.5 million in the same period last year, whereas the group net loss decreased to USD 8.6 million from a loss of USD 22.6 million in the first half 2020.
The financial results reflect that Norsk Titanium is in the initial growth stages with the industrialization and commercialization of its disruptive 3D metal printing technology.
Cash Flow
Net cash used in operating activities was USD 9.5 million in the first half of 2021, compared to USD 12.6 million in the same period in 2020.
Cost reduction measures put into effect in the second quarter of 2020 was realized in the first half of 2021, reducing the monthly cash burn rate (see definition in note on Alternative Performance Measures) to approximately USD 1.7 million.
Cash used in investing activities was USD 0.3 million, compared to an inflow of USD 1.1 million in the same period last year, mainly reflecting currency exchange effect related to property, plant, and equipment (PPE) and intangible assets.
Cash flow from financing activities amounted to USD 42.7 million, mainly reflecting the net proceeds from the private placement of new shares in May 2021 and repayment of debt. In the same period in 2020, cash flow from financing activities were USD 11.5 million.
Balance sheet
Total assets at June 30 2021 were USD 54.4 million, compared to USD 22.9 million at the end of 2020. USD 12.9 million of this was non-current assets (USD 14.3 million), of which intangible assets accounted for USD 7.7 million, PPE for USD 4.5 million and right-of-use of assets for USD 0.7 million.
Current assets amounted to USD 41.5 million (USD 8.7 million), of which inventories accounted for USD 4.8 million, trade receivables for USD 0.4 million and other current assets for USD 1.2 million. Cash and cash equivalents amounted to USD 35.1 million, compared to USD 2.2 million at the end of 2020.
Total equity amounted to USD 45.3 million at June 30 2021, compared to negative USD 80.5 million per the end of 2020. The increase from year-end 2020 primarily reflects USD 88.3 million conversion of shareholder loan facility, a USD 6.8 million subsequent repair issue, USD 9.3 million conversion of the 2021 convertible loan facility and USD 34.6 million in proceeds from the private placement in May 2021.
Total liabilities amounted to USD 9.1 million, compared to USD 103.5 million at the end of 2020. USD 1.4 of this was non-current liabilities (USD 1.5 million), and USD 7.7 million current liabilities (USD 101.9 million). The decline in current liabilities reflect the conversion of the shareholder loan facility and the convertible loan into equity during the first half of 2021. Please see note 6 for more details.
Risks and forward-looking statements
Although in commercial production, Norsk Titanium plans to further industrialize its technology which entails risks related to continued technology development, customer qualification programs, and commercial efforts in both existing and new business segments. With regards to company specific financial risks, the company sees no material changes to the assessments described in the Annual Report for 2020.
The aviation and aerospace industry suffered severely from COVID-19 imposed travel restrictions in 2020 and into 2021, generating a substantial decline in demand for air transportation services. Commercial aerospace manufacturers are an important part of Norsk Titanium's customer base and growth strategy, and the impact of COVID-19 hence had an adverse impact on the demand for the company's products. While commercial air traffic is beginning to rebound, there is a risk that the pandemic may affect travel patterns also going forward, which may impact the company's customers and suppliers and its planned operations and projects.
Company specific financial risks including liquidity risk, credit risk, interest rate risk and foreign exchange risk. Given the cash position of USD 35.1 million per June 30, the Board of Directors does not see any liquidity risk for the second half of 2021. The current financing structure with equity and fixed-rate loans also limits the interest rate risk. The company's main operations are linked to the reporting currency USD, with the main exposure related to translation of limited revenue and expenses in other currencies. Credit risk are negligible, and the group had no losses in receivables in the first half of 2021.
This report contains forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements reflect current views about future events and are, by their nature, subject to significant risk and uncertainties because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that will occur in the future. Although Norsk Titanium believes that these assumptions were reasonable when made, the company cannot assure that the future results, level of activity or performances will meet these expectations.
Outlook
Norsk Titanium's disruptive 3D metal printing solution is rapidly scaling with aerospace and defense customers. This is expected to create a long-term pipeline of visible revenue as the company will manufacture parts for platforms with 10+ year production runs. At the same time, the company sees significant potential in expanding into new sectors over time.
As aerospace sector revenue is set to increase after the substantial negative impact of the COVIDpandemic in 2020, long-term demand for new commercial aircrafts will grow subject to interacting technical and economic objectives.
Norsk Titanium aims to become a preferred supplier of titanium structures in commercial aerospace programs and reach serial production with all parts delivered. With a tier-one customer base and extensive qualification programs, the company expects that the cost efficiency and flexibility of its production method will continue to draw interest both from other aerospace customer and new industries.
Within the defense industry, the company is in qualification processes with multiple potential customers for program with significant production potential from 2022.
Ongoing development programs and one new qualification program with prime contractors of the US Department of Defense could open doors to several new opportunities in the industry.
The company sees significant volume potential within industrial applications, and in the first half 2021 secured a qualification contract for potential deliveries to a semiconductor equipment manufacturer. Norsk Titanium's digitally enabled technology allows expansion of business model to support industrial product volumes and local manufacturing desires.
Norsk Titanium continues to develop core competencies in the commercial aerospace sector while also expanding its product offering to the industrial and defense sectors.
