Regulatory News:

NHOA (Paris:NHOA):

  • In H1 2021 NHOA confirmed its growth trend in terms of revenues, backlog and pipeline despite global restrictions for Covid-19 and related delays in project development and execution. However, the world has been affected dramatically by the ongoing supply chain disruption, with no exception for NHOA. As of today, NHOA is confirming the clear trajectory towards the achievement of the 2021 and 2022 revenues guidance.
  • Revenues and Other Income increased by 44% with respect to H1 2020, including non-recurring income related to the Vehicle-to-Grid project with Stellantis.
  • Backlog2 increased by 88% compared to September 2020, and together with the Contracts Secured3 amount to €149 million.
  • During H1 2021 NHOA has devoted significant costs and time to the incorporation of the Joint Venture with Stellantis, and the acquisition related to the major shareholder change, which are one-time and non recurring events.

Revenues and Other Income amount to €7.2 million, including €1 million of non-recurring income related to the Vehicle-to-Grid project with Stellantis, as of 30 June 2021, up 44% compared to First Half 2020. The increase in Revenues and Other Income is mainly driven by the €4.9 million revenues realized by the eMobility Global Business Line (“GBL”) which became fully operational in May after the completion of the Joint Venture (“JV”) between NHOA and Stellantis dedicated to eMobility activities: Free2Move eSolutions. The Energy Storage GBL €2.3 million Revenues and Other Income, were partially affected by Covid-19 related logistic restrictions that challenged construction schedules. Nonetheless, NHOA has been able to realize the Factory Acceptance Test for a 10 MWh system in Massachusetts, and complete the test run of the Sol De Insurgentes solar-plus-storage project in Mexico. Other Income is mainly driven by the recognition of the non-recurring €1 million contribution related to the development of the Vehicle-to-Grid project with Stellantis. The 26% Gross margin including such non-recurring item is mainly driven by revenues mix, and is partially affected by set up cost of the eMobility GBL. The gross margin excluding this non-recurring income amounts to €0.9 million, i.e. 14%.

Backlog and Contracts Secured totalize €149 million, represented by 700 MWh in U.S.A., Europe and Africa. Backlog amounts to €45 million, up by 88% compared to the Backlog communicated on 24 September 2020, with over 90 MWh between California, Massachusetts, Vermont and Italy. Contracts Secured amount to €104 million, thanks to more than 600 MWh of projects secured in Guam and Hawaii with ENGIE.

Pipeline4 in the Energy Storage GBL5 increases by 6% over the same period, reaching €835 million, thanks to the rapid market acceleration we experienced across all key geographies particularly in North America, Europe and Asia Pacific.

Personnel costs increased by 55% reaching €5.7 million compared to €3.7 million in First Half 2020, in line with the increase in headcount, increased by 63% over the period. As of 30 June 2021, NHOA has 179 employees, from 19 nationalities. The strengthening of the workforce is in line with NHOA’s roadmap following the Masterplan 10x and mainly devoted to the execution of the projects in USA, APAC and the ramp-up of the eMobility GBL.

R&D investments amount to €1.6 million and represent 27% of the consolidated Revenues, confirming the strong commitment towards R&D and innovation, which is progressively addressed also towards the eMobility GBL.

Other Operating Expenses increased by 17% amounting to €1.6 million, compared to €1.4 million in the first semester 2020 expressing a physiological growth in this specific moment of the company.

EBITDA including non recurring income represents a €5.5 million loss in the first semester 2021 compared to a €4.4 million loss in the first semester 2020, due to the increase in operating expenses and in personnel costs, which more than offset the increase in revenues. This is a natural effect of the investments that NHOA made in terms of people and industrial footprint (just partially offset by low revenues/gross margin generated as of H1 2021) in order to carry forward the industrial base needed to execute the €149 million Backlog and Contracts Secured.

Non recurring expenses and Incentive Plan account for €2.6 million and €4.8 million respectively, both items being affected by the extraordinary transactions performed during the period: such as the closing of the JV with Stellantis and post-closing relevant events, essentially the closing between ENGIE and TCC, implying an acceleration on SARs plan.

EBIT and Net Result as of 30 June 2021 stand, respectively, at €-15.8 million and €-15.9 million compared to €-6.5 million and €-6.5 for the previous year.

Net Financial Position at the end of the first semester 2021 stands at €-24.7 million compared to €-21.3 million on 31 December 2020.

_________________ 1 These preliminary results are unaudited. Completion of the standard audit procedures and release of audit report with publication of the H1 2021 Financial Statements is expected on September 30, 2021. 2 As per the Universal Registration Document 2020, Backlog or Project Backlog means, as of a given date, the estimated revenues and other income attributable to (i) purchase orders received, contracts signed and projects awarded as of the date hereof, and (ii) Project Development contracts associated with a Power Purchase Agreement, where the agreed value is a price per kWh of electricity and an amount of MW to be installed. 3 According to the Universal Registration Document 2020, Contracts Secured means projects awarded, for which the signature of the full sets of the agreements has not been yet completed. Typically, when NHOA is awarded with a tender, typically being project financing, there are several steps to be completed (i.e. the EPC Agreement, the Notice to Proceed, permission to be signed). Once terms of documentation and planning permissions are defined, Contracts Secured becomes Backlog. 4 As defined in the Universal Registration Document 2020, Pipeline means the estimate, to date, of the amount of potential projects, tenders and requests for proposal for which the NHOA Group has decided to participate or respond. 5 As per the Press Release dated 23 July 2021 and consistently with the trading and operational update to be released on a quarterly basis, Pipeline will be an indicator exclusively referring to the Energy Storage Global Business Line (and Atlante GBL, starting from Q3 2021).
