PRO FORMA STATEMENT OF COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (NOTES) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023

Notes to the pro forma statement of comprehensive income

The FY23 pro forma statements are a theoretical consolidation of the Refuels N.V. group. The actual acquisition of RTFS and CNG Fuels by Refuels happened in May 2023. This pro forma was prepared to give users a view of what the group financial performance and position would have been for the year ending 31 March 2023, had the post-transaction group structure been in place for both presented years. Audited numbers were used to prepare the FY23 pro forma values.

    1. The primary revenue streams are RTFC sales, natural gas sales and EPC revenue. Revenue saw a 52% increase in FY23, primarily driven by a 54% increase in gas dispensed compared to FY22. Also included are station management fees generated for the operation of sites held outside of the Group.
    1. Gross profit margin has increased slightly, from 12.8% in FY22 to 13.7% in FY23.
    1. Operating overheads saw a significant increase in FY23. The employee count across the group significantly increased within the year and there were large costs associated with the IPO in the year. These transaction costs are considered to be one-off expenses and will not be recurring in future periods.
    1. Fair value gains in FY22 included an uplift in the fair value of the original shareholding in RTFS of £21,756,463, which arose upon the step acquisition of RTFS into a subsidiary for the purposes of the Pro Forma Group. This value does not represent the true underlying accounting activity of the Group.
    1. The corporation tax charge relates entirely to those incurred by RTFS in the year. CNG Fuels remained in a tax loss position.
    1. Adjusted EBITDA disclosed includes an amount of £2,344,044 (2022: £1,363,210) attributable to noncontrolling interests of RTFS.

PRO FORMA STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL POSITION (NOTES) AS AT 31 MARCH 2023

Notes to the pro forma statement of financial position

    1. Goodwill related to the step acquisition of RTFS. The increase in 2023 relates to Goodwill recognised upon consolidation of Renewable Energy Fuels B.V., a subsidiary of RTFS.
    1. Trade and other payables include natural gas payables, accruals, fuel duty payable and VAT. There has been a significant increase in FY23 to both trade receivables and payables due to higher gas volumes dispensed by stations, a spike in gas prices and high electricity costs driven by the energy crisis.
    1. Borrowings have increased in the year due to a £2m loan from CNG Foresight.
    1. The increase in provisions relates to onerous contracts recognised in RTFS which has been driven by a fall in RTFC prices at the end of FY23.
