H2APEX Achieves Strong Revenue Growth in H1 2024 and Specifies Revenue Targets within the Projected Range of 35 – 40 Million Euros

 

  • Revenue in H1 2024 amounted to EUR 17.5 million (H1 2023: EUR 2.3 million).
  • A large portion of the expected revenues for 2024 is already contractually secured: Backlog stands at EUR 22.9 million.
  • Revenue forecast for 2024 narrowed to the lower half of EUR 35-40 million.
  • Development of new own hydrogen plants in Laage and Lubmin, as well as scaling of storage production, is progressing well.
  • Staff growth as part of the growth strategy reached 129 employees in the first half of the year.

 

Rostock-Laage, Grevenmacher (Luxembourg), August 29, 2024 – H2APEX (ISIN LU0472835155, WKN A0YF5P, formerly exceet Group SCA), a publicly listed leading developer and operator of green hydrogen plants for the decarbonization of industry, infrastructure, and mobility, today released its interim statement for the first half of the 2024 fiscal year (ended June 30, 2024). Revenue for the first half of 2024 increased to EUR 17.5 million, compared to EUR 2.3 million in the same period of the previous year. This strong revenue growth was primarily driven by the project business, particularly the implementation of hydrogen plants for industrial and energy companies.

 

Due to high investments and increased personnel costs associated with the growth strategy, adjusted EBITDA for the first half of 2024 amounted to EUR -8.6 million, compared to EUR -7.3 million in the previous year. As of June 30, 2024, the company employed 129 full-time employees (FTE), up from 110 employees as of December 31, 2023. The half-year result was EUR -14.1 million, compared to EUR -9.0 million in H1 2023.

 

In its reporting for the first half of 2024, H2APEX has specified its revenue forecast for the full fiscal year 2024 to the lower half of the projected range of EUR 35-40 million (revenue for fiscal year 2023: EUR 15.3 million). To achieve these revenue targets, the planning and construction of hydrogen plants for third-party companies, as well as the company's own operation of hydrogen plants, will contribute. As of June 30, 2024, the backlog, i.e., the contractually secured revenues, amounted to EUR 22.9 million.

 

After a lull in the hydrogen market, momentum is picking up again. H2APEX is currently participating as a planner and constructor of hydrogen plants in several tenders and expects to secure contracts for more than 100 MW of total electrolysis capacity by the end of 2024.

 

The development of new own hydrogen plants in Laage (100 MW H2ERO project) with planned completion in 2028 and in Lubmin with planned completion of the first expansion stage of 100 MW to a total of 600 MW in 2027 is progressing on schedule. The Final Investment Decision for both plants is planned for early 2025.

 

Peter Rößner, CEO of the operational business of the H2APEX Group, said: "In the first half of the year, we advanced our project business by participating in promising tenders and have already received some positive signals. We will complete at least one of the existing projects this year. We have also made good progress in developing our own hydrogen plants, especially with the awarding of the funding notice for our H2ero plant amounting to EUR 167 million. I thank the entire H2APEX team for their outstanding contribution."

Bert Althaus, CFO of the H2APEX Group, added: "We look back on a successful first half of 2024. With more than EUR 17 million in the first six months of the year, we have already surpassed the previous year's revenue. Given the progress in developing our own hydrogen plants, we expect the final investment decision early next year. The company's organization will continue to be structurally and personnel-wise aligned with the growth strategy."
