Marcus P. Hummer, CEO comments on the developments in the third quarter: "The quarter was characterized by daily business in delivering on ongoing orders. No significant orders were reported from the quarter.

The revenue conversions converted at a gross profit margin of 38.3% which for the 9M reaches 33.1% and is now at our long-term projection of minimum 30%. This is a positive trend that is due to more mobile BWMS orders in the product mix, and the trend will support the speed for reaching prognosed EBITDA breakeven late in 2024.

We have established our sales organization related to our Ballast as a Service (BaaS) approach and is now communicating with one clear approach in both USA and Europe on Bawat BaaS. The BaaS organization has been strengthened with a business development manager in Europe and post-closing of the quarter two more seasoned BWMS individuals are entering the US based organization.

We have significant expectations that this entity will propel Bawats sales and Ballast as a Service significantly in the years to come.

Post-closing significant events;

Post quarter orders have been received to support a full year guidance of SEK 40-50m. This means that we expect to close the year with more than double the order intake relative to 2022 and with a gross margin that supports our continue forecast to be EBITDA breakeven at the end of 2024".

On November 9[th], Damen Shipyard Group and Bawat signed a 50/50 joint venture agreement finalizing the already communicated intention at term sheet level during Q2 2023. With the establishment of the joint venture, Bawat gets a unique and significant scaling ability on sales and manufacturing for its mobile units through Damens global manufacturing and sales network. Bawat will still retain ownership of all IP rights to the mobile solutions and is selling a technology license to the Joint Venture that in turn is buying the finished product from Damen. The combination of BWMS know-how, manufacturing capabilities, a combined global sales network and a joint belief in mobile BWMS demand in the market is the synergy that drives the Joint Venture.

The contracts for the mobile BWMS will onwards be taken through the Damen Bawat Joint Venture and this will have a consolidating effect on Bawat Water Technologies AB's Profit & Loss. At EBITDA level the consolidating effect will be negligible relative to the reporting method used prior Joint Venture reporting.
