Revenue in the second quarter ended at MNOK 107 compared to MNOK 69 in Q2 2022. Increased volume from the new production line compared to the same quarter last year has resulted in more volumes available for sale.

Second quarter EBITDA ended at MNOK 19.6 (MNOK 4.7). EBITDA positively affected by increased sales volume, competitive electricity prices and a stronger EUR vs NOK, partly offset by a stronger USD vs NOK. In addition, economies of scale are materializing as the MEP volume ramps up. EBITDA for first half of 2023 ended at MNOK 33.7 compared to negative MNOK 13.5 YTD 2022.

Net profit ended at MNOK 7.1 (Q2’22: MNOK 0.2) for the second quarter of 2023. Net profit negatively affected with MNOK 3 in the quarter by fair value of future FX cash flow hedging contracts (unrealized loss - no cash effect in quarter).
