Marcus P. Hummer, CEO comments on the developments in the third quarter: "The quarter shows two positive trends supporting the growth and profitability journey that Bawat has embarked after its IPO earlier this year. Firstly, we are pleased to report continued growth in Order Intake and quoting activity, which supports the unchanged full year guidance on Order Intake. The still increasing sales network both internally and via global sales agents are busy with contracts negotiations at all levels of maturity across all relevant geographies.

Secondly, we now see the results of newly sold projects to ships in the gross profit, which we can see is significantly up from the H1 results and already now in line with the predicted long term gross profit margin of 20% for ship systems. This gives us comfort in our project execution after signed contracts - both for ships as well as for mobile systems, and in the years to come we are certain to reach 30% or more in gross profit for the company depending on the sales mix."

About Bawat
The development of an entirely new approach to ballast water treatment utilizing onboard waste heat to treat ballast water led to the founding of Bawat in 2011. A ballast water treatment system avoids disposal of untreated water in seas and harbors.

Bawat's BWMS is a system that is simple, cost-effective, and sustainable, build on a zero environmental impact, using standard marine components. No filters, no chemicals no UV. And is the first to market a USCG/IMO Type Approval BWMS that uses pasteurization to treat ballast water in a one-pass process.

• A ship BWMS for Retrofit and New Builds
• Mobile containerized solution for multiple vessel usage in a port, on a ship  (https://bawat.com/ship-bwms/)or for rigs
• Ballast Water as a Service for contingency services in ports
