Hexagon Composites ASA: Second quarter 2023

Written by Customer Service on . Posted in Earnings Releases And Operating Results.

17 August 2023: Hexagon Composites (OSE: HEX.OL), world leader in composite cylinder technology and related systems that enable safe delivery of clean gaseous energy for transportation, industries and homes, reported record high revenues of NOK 1 368 (1 034) million (excluding Hexagon Purus) in the second quarter 2023.  This represents 32% growth compared to the same quarter last year, driven by higher volumes and improved pricing. The EBITDA reached NOK 148 (90) million.

On 29 June, the board of directors of Hexagon Composites ASA resolved to distribute 25% of the outstanding shares in Hexagon Purus ASA as a dividend-in-kind to its shareholders and enter into a total return swap for an additional 5% of the shares, effectively reducing ownership in Hexagon Purus to 38.4%. This reduction entailed deconsolidation of Hexagon Purus from Hexagon Composites and generated an accounting gain of NOK 2.35 billion.

Chief Executive Officer statement
“We are pleased to see the profit improvement measures taking effect in Hexagon Agility, and together with high recurring volumes in Hexagon Ragasco driving increased profitability in the quarter,” says Jon Erik Engeset, CEO Hexagon Composites.

Outlook
The ongoing sustainability-driven developments in the EU and the US, as well as changes in industry dynamics, support significant long-term clean energy technology opportunities. These trends are positive for all Hexagon business units.
