CEO comments
From Milestones to Momentum: Record Sales and Positive Result
Revenue reached SEK 130m, a record for Q2, and rolling 12-month revenue passed SEK 400m for the first time. We also report a positive EBITDA of SEK 27m, the first time we deliver positive earnings on a rolling 12-month basis. These results mark the shift from isolated milestones to real operational momentum in line with our strategic direction.
While we remain in the early stages of scaling our industry, the results confirm that the market is taking shape and that our strategy is holding. We are becoming more predictable in how we engage, deliver, and build value, both with existing customers and in new segments.
Continued Commercial Progress
During the quarter, we secured a first commercial order from Hitachi Energy for their new Hyflex™ system, a clean, off grid hydrogen generator that represents an important breakthrough in stationary power. This order is the result of long-term collaboration and our consistent focus on commercial readiness, and it marks a natural extension of our partnership, as well as an entry point into a strategically important, previously untapped segment for PowerCell.
We also signed a SEK 44 million agreement with a leading Italian marine OEM for the development and delivery of our next generation system, a 1 MW marine fuel cell solution based on our MW-class stack platform. This is our first commercial order for the new platform, and a strong signal of the market's interest in more powerful and space-efficient fuel cell systems.
In parallel, we signed a new agreement with Robert Bosch GmbH that includes licensing of IP. Over the past 18 months, it has been more challenging to monetize IP in a way that reflects long-term value. This agreement shows a positive shift, a renewed willingness among industrial players to invest in future capability, and a recognition of the long-term relevance of our technology.
Market Signals and Visibility
Our participation at Nor Shipping and the Electric & Hybrid Marine Expo confirmed that the marine segment continues to accelerate. Dialogue with shipyards, integrators, and operators is shifting from demonstration to deployment. The momentum is supported by regulatory pressure, including the IMO’s updated targets to reduce both greenhouse gas emissions and hazardous air pollutants such as NOx, SOx and particulate matter, areas where fuel cells offer clear operational advantages.
Interest in our methanol-based solutions is growing, and we are seeing increased engagement from OEMs and system architects looking to integrate fuel cells into core vessel systems. The feedback is clear: the market now views fuel cells not as a niche add on, but as a viable, scalable power source.
We are driving that shift, in both marine and stationary applications, by delivering systems that meet real world requirements and reduce technical risk for our customers. This is the result of our focus on industrialized innovation: scalable, certified platforms that allow for customer specific integration without compromising performance or delivery precision.
The increasing traction confirms that our growth strategy is beginning to take hold, with more installations, and higher value per installation through system integration and platform adaptability.
The quality of the order intake confirms that our model is gaining traction, with contracts that reflect both repeatability and long-term relevance. Our ability to scale without expanding fixed cost, and to integrate IP and technology into customer programs, supports a balanced path to growth and profitability.
Forward Outlook
Our financial performance mirrors consistent focus on customer value, an asset light industrial setup, and a growing alignment between our offer and the market’s needs. We have done the hard work, invested in product performance, and stayed diligent in optimizing internal processes and protecting our margins.
The result this quarter reflect choices made over time in product development, partnerships, and operational structure. The environment remains complex, but we are moving with control, relevance, and a strategy built to deliver long-term value.
