Hexagon Purus delivered strong year-over-year revenue growth in Q4 2021 and successfully completed the transformative acquisition of Wystrach GmbH ("Wystrach").

Q4 2021 highlights:

• Revenue grew 690% year over year to NOK 259 million, including strong contribution from Wystrach. Revenue excluding Wystrach on a pro forma basis was NOK 130 million, representing organic year over year growth of approximately 4x
• Successfully completed the acquisition of Wystrach, a leading European systems and solutions provider for storage and transport of compressed gases with strong exposure to hydrogen applications. Wystrach revenue during November and December was NOK 142 million with EBITDA of NOK 17 million (12% margin)
• Robust hydrogen distribution and transit bus trends continue
• Signed an exclusive long-term supply agreement with a leading European bus OEM for hydrogen storage systems with an estimated sales value of EUR 30 million for deliveries between 2021 and 2024

In the fourth quarter of 2021, Hexagon Purus Group generated NOK 259 (33) million in revenue and recorded operating profit before depreciation (EBITDA) of NOK -54m (-52) million. Revenue growth of 690% was driven primarily by continued strength in hydrogen distribution as well as the acquisition of Wystrach which contributed NOK 142 million in sales and NOK 17 million in EBITDA.

Reported revenue for the twelve months of 2021 grew 182% to NOK 508 million (180) million driven by increased distribution and transit bus business as well as Wystrach contribution, while EBITDA was NOK -265 (-141) million.

Continued investments in personnel and infrastructure to support and accelerate Hexagon Purus' future growth drive negative profitability.
