The CEO’s comments
Strong cash flow and growing interest for
commercial projects
The hydrogen-electric market is developing well and the interest for our emission-free fuel
cell systems is increasing. As we gain more OEM customers and integrated installations
of our industrialised fuel cell systems, deliveries increase more slowly in the transition
phase from the previous project-driven market. In the quarter, we have focused on
ramping up for coming serial deliveries and report a net sales increase of 3 percent. At the
same time, we report a high gross margin in the first quarter of 47.2 percent (37.9) and
high operating cash flow of SEK 38.7 million (11.6). With our leading position in significant
market segments, efficient organisational structure and innovative capacity, we can
continue growing in the attractive hydrogen market.
The hydrogen-electric market is driven by the
megatrends of electrification and the transition
to emission-free energy. We are in many
discussions with customers about commercial
applications, as well as in industries where
hydrogen-electric solutions have not previously
been discussed. In the aviation and marine
industries, hydrogen-electric solutions are well-
established and PowerCell has established itself
as a leader in those sectors.
We have recently made commercial progress
with for example ColGar Energy which has
approved our product design. ColGar Energy will
use our VS5 fuel cell system to generate auxiliary
power for a ‘Meals on Wheels’ van fleet in Wales
and we have received the first serial order worth
about SEK 35 million. This deal is a significant
step since it means that we are entering a new
commercial segment with our emission-free
solutions, which opens up new opportunities.
Unique flexible container solution
A few weeks ago, we announced a strategic
partnership with Hitachi Energy, a global technology
leader in sustainable energy. Together we have
developed HyFlex™, which is a flexible container
solution that can be used in a wide range of
applications for emission-free power production,
independent of the grid. During a demonstration at
the Port of Gothenburg, HyFlex™ provided power to
an electric excavator from Volvo Construction
Equipment. Linde Gas, the world's largest industrial
gas company, provided green hydrogen for the
production. This shows the power of collaboration in
the hydrogen-electric industry and with HyFlex ™
diesel-driven generators can be replaced in many
applications, such as construction sites, maritime
and port electrification.
Established leader in aviation and marine
We are proud to have been selected to be part of the
EU’s H2Marine project in February this year.
Through, for example, our contract with Norwegian
SEAM and deliveries to Norwegian ferries, we have
shown that we are a key player in enabling fuel cell
technology to the marine industry. As part of this EU
project, we can further improve our existing fuel cell
platform for the marine segment.
Our strong position in the aviation industry was confirmed
already a year ago when we were selected to be part of the
EU Clean Aviation Joint Undertaking to develop
environmentally sustainable aviation. As part of the project,
a new 300 kW product platform will be developed. Today,
PowerCell has over 20 customer projects in various phases
within the aviation segment, which proves that we are the
leader in this technically very demanding industry.
Focus on profitable growth
Even though we have a very strong interest in our products
and the world urgently needs emission-free energy
solutions, our industry is also affected by macroeconomic
uncertainty. We note that it may take longer for our
customers to come to a decision. Therefore, we focus on
what we can control and work for continued effective
ramp-up of volumes and good cash flows. By investing in
innovation, we continuously strengthen our
competitiveness. PowerCell also has an advantage by
being efficiently structured and able to reach breakeven at
lower volumes than others
in our industry. In summary,
we have a unique, strong
position in a very attractive
market and we are
determined to continue our
growth journey.

Financial performance January –
March
Net sales
Net sales increased 3% in the quarter to SEK 52.1m (50.5), driven by
strong growth from customers in the marine industry. Sales of
projects, according to percentage of completion, amounted to SEK
28m and represented a major part of the product mix in the quarter.
The increased sales of projects relate to higher activity in the projects
that include material supply for fuel cell systems for the Norwegian
ferries. Royalty fees from Robert Bosch GmbH amounted to SEK 2.8m
(1.6).
Gross profit and operating income/loss
Gross profit increased 28% to SEK 24.6m (19.1) and the gross margin
improved 9.3 percentage points to 47.2% (37.9). The increase is to a
large extent due to exchange rate effects for projects reported
according to percentage of completion.
Operating expenses increased 8% to SEK -51.9m (-48.2).
Other operating costs amounted to SEK -8.8m (-1.8) and relate mainly
to exchange rate effects.
Other operating income amounted to SEK 6.9m (4.7) and include
exchange rate gains of SEK 2.4m (1.8) and R&D grants of SEK 3.6m
(2.7). The majority of R&D grants came from the EU and relate to
projects within the aviation industry. Costs related to the EU-granted
projects are reported in operating expenses as R&D costs. In addition
to the projects granted by the EU and development expenditures that
are capitalized, PowerCell runs R&D activities and expenditures that
focus on future technical solutions.
In the quarter, SEK 9.5m was capitalised as development
expenditures. The majority of the capitalised expenditures are related
to the development of the new PS200 system and a minor part is
related to the development of a 5 kW system.
Operating income before and after items affecting comparability
amounted to SEK -29.3m (-26.2).
Net income and financial items
Net financial items amounted to SEK 4.1m (2.0) and were mainly
related to revaluation effects in bank accounts denominated in
foreign currency, primarily EUR.
Net income in the quarter was SEK -25.1m (-24.2).

Cash flow

as intangible assets.

cash equivalents amounted to SEK 101.2m on March 31, 2024.

Risks and uncertainties
Through its operations, PowerCell is exposed to risks and uncertainties. For extensive information on
the most significant operational and financial risks, please see pages 68-69 and pages 78-79 in the
Annual Report for 2023. PowerCell’s underlying markets are driven by the strong megatrend of
electrification and society’s need to transition to emission-free energy. However, severe declines in
economic activity can have an impact on the timing of customers’ investment decisions. The curre nt
macroeconomic situation is pushing inflation higher, which PowerCell can mitigate through
contractual price compensation clauses.

Definition of key financial indicators
In this financial report, there are references to several performance measures. Some of the measures
are defined in IFRS, others are alternative performance measures and are not disclosed in accordance
with applicable financial reporting frameworks or other legislations. The performance measures are
used by the Group to assist both investors and management in analyzing Power Cell´s business. Below
the performance measures found in this financial report are described and defined. The reason for the
use of the performance measure is also disclosed.
Equity/assets ratio, %
Equity in relation to total assets. The ratio can help investors understand how much of the company’s
assets are funded by issuing stock rather than borrowing money and may indicate how financially
stable the company may be in the long run.
Earnings per share
Net income is divided by the weighted average number of outstanding shares.
Gross margin, %
Net revenue less cost of goods sold through net revenue. Gross margin may help investors in
understanding how much revenue the company retains which can be used to pay other costs.

calendar months. Net sales rolling twelve months can give investors an understanding of the
company’s sales development on a more current basis than the previous financial year.
