15.5.2024 07:00:00 CEST | Tekna Holding ASA | Half yearly financial reports and
audit reports / limited reviews

(Arendal, NORWAY / Sherbrooke QC, CANADA) Tekna Holding ASA (Tekna, OSE: TEKNA),
a world-leading provider of advanced materials to industry, today announces the
company's results for the first quarter of 2024. The company reported a decrease
in revenues but maintains a strong outlook for the year with a robust order
backlog and continued margin improvement.

In the first quarter of 2024, revenues came in at CAD 8.7 million, an 8 per cent
decrease from the same period last year. The decrease in total revenue reflects
a 5 per cent decline in systems revenue to CAD 2.9 million and a 10 per cent
decline in materials revenue to CAD 5.8 million.

Despite the lower revenues, the company's order backlog remains robust.
Supported by a significant increase in materials order intake, the order backlog
grew by 17 per cent to CAD 15.9 million. Adjusted EBITDA was CAD -2.6 million in
the quarter, compared to CAD -1.2 million in Q1 2023. Total order backlog at the
end of Q1 was CAD 22.9 million, compared to CAD 26.4 million one year ago.

"Tekna has navigated a challenging quarter with strategic focus and operational
discipline. While our revenues have seen a modest decline, we are encouraged by
the materials' order intake increase of 26% over the same period last year,
growing the order backlog and providing a positive outlook for the remainder of
the year," said Luc Dionne, CEO of Tekna Holding ASA.

The company is maintaining its guidance for revenue growth and margin
improvements for the remainder of 2024 and Tekna remains committed to its
strategic initiatives to enhance financial performance.

"Our outlook for 2024 remains positive. The atomizer commissioned in Q4 2023 is
running at full capacity and we are about to ramp-up production on a newly
installed machine. Together with the strong order pipeline, this underscores our
confidence in the business's direction and the demand for our innovative
products. We are well-positioned to leverage our market leadership and
operational efficiency to deliver enhanced shareholder value going forward,"
added Dionne.
