CEO comments
Slow conversion in a cautious market
While we are disappointed with the first quarter of 2026, the development is in line with the
increased volatility in demand we highlighted in the Q4 report.
Revenue rolling twelve months (R12) is down
approximately 7 percent compared to R12 Q4 2025 and flat
compared to R12 Q1 2025, while revenues for the quarter
declined by 36 percent year-on-year. Delays in deliveries,
postponed orders and lower royalty revenues led to a
weaker short-term outcome. This reflects a continued
pattern of delayed decision-making, where underlying
demand remains but conversion to orders is uneven.
Our position still remains strong. During the quarter, we
initiated measures to enhance efficiency, cost control and
flexibility, with the objective of supporting profitability at
lower volume levels. These actions are being implemented
independently and reflect a continued focus on disciplined
execution while maintaining scalability. Further, we are
comfortable that our financial position supports execution
of our strategy.
Taken together, this builds on the progress made during
2025, where improved cost discipline, industrial execution
and product maturity enabled positive EBITDA at a lower-
than-planned top line. The current quarter should be seen in
that context: 2026 will be characterized by market
uncertainty, and we are resilient to operate across different
outcomes.
Commercial progress and industrial application
We signed orders and agreements in the quarter with a total
value of approximately 50 MSEK. The Minami project, with a
value of approximately 28 MSEK, is the most notable. It is a
development project and an important step in scale and
operational validation, with >10 MW installation and an
expected lifetime of 80,000 hours.
The HiWyWay initiative in Sweden is strategically important
with a focus on the implementation of mobile power
generation solutions, where we see increasing demand and
a clear path to deployment. These developments confirm
continued traction across segments, where the portfolio is
increasingly applied in real-world, mission-critical
environments. In parallel with ongoing deliveries, integration
work and project execution, we have also faced media
scrutiny during the quarter. It is important to underline that
this scrutiny does not reflect the quality of our systems,
our validation, or the work underway towards delivery,
integration, and operation in customer applications
Market dynamics and outlook
Geopolitical uncertainty, capital discipline and
infrastructure readiness continue to influence investment
decisions. Recent disruptions around the Strait of Hormuz
have added to volatility in global energy markets,
underscoring the vulnerability of energy supply and the
strategic importance of energy security. Against this
backdrop, the need to accelerate the use of alternative
energy sources and resilient power is even clearer.
Demand for energy resilience, reliable power and lower
emissions is increasing across segments such as marine,
data centers and distributed energy systems. According to
IEA’s Energy and AI report, electricity demand from data
centers increased by 17% in 2025, while global electricity
demand grew by 3%. The report projects that global
electricity consumption from data centers will double by
2030, reaching around 945 TWh, while power use from
those focused on AI will triple.
This reinforces a broader trend: as power demand rises, the
need for efficient, reliable and scalable energy solutions
becomes increasingly urgent. In that context, we believe our
technology is well positioned to address growing customer
needs in applications where resilience, performance and
emissions reduction are critical.
The direction is clear, but the pace of conversion isw
uneven. As outlined in our Q4 report, we operate in a market
with a wide range of possible outcomes, and that remains
the case. Our strategy is built accordingly: robust at lower
volumes, while maintaining the ability to scale as demand
converts more consistently.
To summarize, we are not satisfied with the short-term
outcome. At the same time, we remain confident in the
position we have built. The company today is structurally
stronger, operationally more disciplined and better
positioned to navigate an uncertain market that is moving in
our direction, but not in a straight line.

currency effect of SEK 3.7m (-18.0), following re-evaluating
project reported as percentage of completion.

partly to depreciation of capitalized development -3.5m.
Other operating income amounted to SEK 17.0m (24.1).
Income from grants amounted to 9.9m and currency effect
to SEK 7.1m. The decrease between quarters is in majority
related to currency effect on operating activities.

system. Amortization of the PS200 system in the quarter

capital raise, also impact short term cash flow.

development capitalisation. In the quarter, SEK 3.4m (10.5)
was capitalised as intangible assets. Reclassification
between long-term and short-term accounts payables
14.5m (0) affected investing activities.

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 analysing PowerCell’s
business. The performance measures in this financial report
are described and defined below. 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

and may indicate how financially stable the company may
be in the long run.
Earnings per share

outstanding shares.
Gross margin, %

Gross margin may help investors understand how much
revenue the company retains, which can be used to pay
other costs.
Net sales rolling twelve months
Net sales for a period that is determined monthly and
consists of the previous twelve consecutive calendar
months. Net sales rolling twelve months can give investors
an understanding of the company’s sales development on a
