Business Updates

BASF and Advent Sign Agreement to Establish End-to-End Supply Chain for Hydrogen Fuel Cell Systems in Europe: BASF Environmental Catalyst and Metal Solutions, a global leader in precious metals and catalysis, and Advent concluded the terms of a new agreement to join efforts in building a full-loop component supply chain for fuel cells.

For the past 20 years, BASF Environmental Catalyst and Metal Solutions has been a leader in membrane and membrane electrode assembly (“MEA”) technology for high temperature proton exchange membrane (“HT-PEM”) fuel cells with a strong foundation in precious metal services and catalysis. Advent is a significant manufacturer of HT-PEM fuel cell systems, targeting emerging markets in the field of sustainable and decentralized energy such as stationary power that can replace diesel generators, maritime power from e-methanol fuel cells, and heavy-duty mobility.

HT-PEM fuel cells operate at 120°C to 180°C, offer a broad operating window and can tolerate impurities in the hydrogen fuel gas. The fuel cells also enable simplified cooling and do not require humidification. Advent offers competitive fuel cell systems for stationary and portable applications based on methanol and on-site reforming. Looking ahead, HT-PEM fuel cells will also become available for heavy-duty mobility and maritime power.

The scope of the agreement includes BASF’s role in scaling-up MEA production at Advent’s planned state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Western Macedonia, Greece, while offering Advent its full portfolio of products and services to enable circularity in key materials. Both companies will cooperate on BASF’s latest membrane development, Celtec^®-Z, and the new Ion Pair™ MEA by Advent, aiming for improved performance, lifetime and cost competitiveness.

Advent Technologies and Safran Power Units Sign MoU to Advance HT-PEM Fuel Cell Technology for the Aerospace Sector: Advent signed a memorandum of understanding (“MoU”) with Safran Power Units, a leader in auxiliary power systems and turbojet engines. Leveraging Advent’s proprietary Ion Pair™ MEA technology, and Safran’s aerospace knowledge and capabilities, this new collaboration seeks to advance the development of next-generation HT-PEM fuel cell technology, specifically for the aerospace sector.

HT-PEM enables more efficient heat management versus low temperature-PEM (“LT-PEM”). HT-PEM is more adapted for applications requiring high amounts of power combined with strong integration constraints such as aviation. HT-PEM is also more robust and can withstand tougher operating conditions, such as extreme temperatures and pollution, versus LT-PEM.

The collaboration is further supported by a strong research consortium including Safran Tech (the Research & Technology Center of Safran Group), the French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission, Fraunhofer Institute, the French National Centre for Scientific Research, the University of Strasbourg, and the IMDEA Energy Institute. Led by Safran Power Units and with the support of Advent, the consortium has secured a grant for the Clean Hydrogen Partnership TC3-08 NIMPHEA Project. Running from 2023 to 2026, the project is funded by Horizon Europe. NIMPHEA Project’s main objective is to develop an aircraft-compatible, next-generation HT-PEM MEA. This involves optimizing and enhancing various components such as the catalyst layer, membrane, and gas diffusion layer. Advent’s Ion Pair™ MEA technology serves as the foundation for these advancements.

As part of the MoU, Advent and Safran Power Units are exploring a joint development agreement for the advancement of HT-PEM fuel cells in aviation and for enhancing Advent’s supply capability.

Advent Technologies Secures $1.1 Million Contract to Supply its HT-PEM MEAs for Fuel Cell-Powered Trucks in Asia: Advent announced a contract with a prominent fuel cell manufacturer specializing in truck applications in the East Asian market. Under this contract, Advent will supply MEAs to support the development of advanced fuel cell solutions for trucks. The contract, which was signed in the second quarter of 2023 with a combined value of $1.1 million, comes after a highly successful testing phase of Advent’s proprietary MEA technology conducted by its customer. Advent will deliver HT-PEM MEAs with a projected continuation of deliveries aligned to the customer’s specified timeframe.

The use of Advent’s MEA technology in fuel cell-powered trucks is a critical and substantial enhancement to EV technology, effectively tackling the challenges associated with charging infrastructure and the limited range of pure EVs. MEAs are the critical component of fuel cell systems and have a pivotal role in determining the overall performance, durability, efficiency, weight, and cost-effectiveness of the electrochemical products they empower.

Advent’s electrochemistry components business includes electrodes, membranes, and MEAs. These components are critical for fuel cells, electrolysers, and for long-duration energy storage such as flow batteries.

European Electrolyser Summit: Advent participated in the 2nd European Electrolyser Summit held in Brussels. Dr. Vasilis Gregoriou, Advent’s Chairman and CEO, was part of a group of 30 CEOs representing the European electrolyser manufacturing sector in a meeting with European Commissioner Thierry Breton. The primary purpose of the meeting was to discuss and address the objectives outlined in the Joint Declaration of the May 2022 EU Electrolyser Summit. The meeting, jointly organized by the European Commission and Hydrogen Europe as part of the Electrolyser Partnership, brought together approximately 44 companies actively involved in the European electrolyser supply chain.

Following the 2nd European Electrolyser Summit, the industry remains steadfast in its commitment of achieving the ambitious goals set out in the REPowerEU communication. The objective is to accomplish 10 million tons (“Mt”) of domestic hydrogen production and import 10Mt of hydrogen by 2030. As part of this commitment, the industry is planning to significantly increase electrolyser production in the EU, aiming to ramp-up capacity by a factor of seven within three years. This will involve scaling-up from the current 3GW production capacity to approximately 21GW by 2025.

In a recently published document, the partnership members and the European Commission provided an update on the progress that has been made one year after the signing of the Joint Declaration. The document highlights the industry’s continued efforts to expand its European footprint as the regulatory framework moves closer to completion. Notable developments include the Renewable Energy Directive, Delegated Acts on Additionality, and the Hydrogen Bank.

Supplemental Non-GAAP Measures and Reconciliations

In addition to providing measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, we present certain supplemental non-GAAP measures. These measures are EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income / (Loss), which we use to evaluate our operating performance, for business planning purposes and to measure our performance relative to that of our peers. These non-GAAP measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and therefore may differ from similar measures presented by other companies and may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures. We believe these measures are useful in evaluating the operating performance of Advent’s ongoing business. These measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for net income, operating expense and income, cash flows and other measures of financial performance and liquidity reported in accordance with GAAP. The calculation of these non-GAAP measures has been made on a consistent basis for all periods presented.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

These supplemental non-GAAP measures are provided to assist readers in determining our operating performance. We believe this measure is useful in assessing performance and highlighting trends on an overall basis. We also believe EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are frequently used by securities analysts and investors when comparing our results with those of other companies. EBITDA differs from the most comparable GAAP measure, net income / (loss), primarily because it does not include interest, income taxes, depreciation of property, plant and equipment, and amortization of intangible assets. Adjusted EBITDA adjusts EBITDA for items such as one-time transaction costs, asset impairment charges, and fair value changes in the warrant liability.

The following tables show a reconciliation of net loss to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA	Three months ended June 30, (Unaudited)									Six months ended June 30, (Unaudited)
