econd quarter 2016 results 25.08.2016 (Oslo, 25 August 2016) Nel ASA (Nel) reported revenues in the second quarter of NOK 13.5 million, reflecting the fluctuating nature of Nel’s project business, as well as initiation of certain projects being postponed to the second half of 2016. The underlying project pipeline is strong and Nel has submitted a proposal for the fourth quarter allocation of the governmental hydrogen program in California. ”The second quarter was a busy period for Nel. We have introduced the next generation fueling station, the CAR-200, with orders already being placed by leading European customers. We also recently announced the new Nel C-range containerised turn-key electrolyser solution, setting the benchmark for hydrogen production efficiency and footprint. The establishment of Nel Hydrogen Solutions business area enhances market opportunities across the group, initiatives are already yielding results, and Nel is positioned at the forefront of a rapidly growing hydrogen industry”, says Jon Andrè Løkke, Chief Executive Officer of Nel. In the second quarter of 2016, Nel reported revenues of NOK 13.5 million (Q2’15: MNOK 16.0), reflecting the fluctuating nature of the company’s project business, as well as initiation of certain projects being postponed to the second half of 2016. EBITDA ended at NOK -14.0 million (-5.3), impacted by the high activity level within business development in new markets, investments, and preparation for production ramp-up. Nel’s cash balance at the end of the second quarter was NOK 265.9 million, up from NOK 152.2 million at the end of the second quarter in 2015. “Nel is a pure play hydrogen company with market leading technology, a strong management team, a solid balance sheet, and is positioned to play a leading role in a fast-moving industry. The underlying project development pipeline is strong and the company experiences a high activity level in ongoing tender processes,” says Løkke. In California, the Energy Commission has doubled the Governmental Grant Opportunities (GFO) hydrogen program to USD 33 million, with a target to reach 100 hydrogen fueling stations by 2020. ”Nel is taking both a direct and an indirect approach to the important California market, leveraging on delivering leading hydrogen technology. California represents an important opportunity for Nel as 33 percent of the hydrogen must be renewable, today hardly any hydrogen is made from renewables. We have submitted our California funding proposal and look forward to the governmental allocation that should take place during the fourth quarter of 2016, ” says Jon André Løkke. |
