Quarterly highlights
Revenue from continuing operations in the third quarter 2024 was NOK 366 million, up 21% from the third quarter 2023 (Q3 2023: 303). Revenue was positively impacted by delivery of alkaline electrolyser equipment whereas revenue from sale of PEM electrolyser equipment was low.
EBITDA in the quarter was NOK -90 million (Q3 2023: -62). Alkaline had a positive contribution to Group EBITDA but this was more than offset by the negative contribution from PEM on the back of low project revenue in the quarter.
Net loss from continuing operation was NOK -115 million (Q3 2023: -167). The improvement was mainly explained by the NOK -90 million fair value adjustment from shareholdings in Everfuel in Q3 2023.
Order intake in the quarter amounted to NOK 161 million, a 52% decrease from the corresponding quarter last year (Q3 2023: 338).
