18 Nov 2022
Baar (CH), 28. November 2022
Sales & profits
- 2022 Update: Sales expected to be in the range of EUR 50-55 million.
- Sales in 2023 expected to be in the EUR 70-80 million range.
- Sales in 2024 expected to be in the EUR 100-110 million range.
- Our expectation is for this growth to be profitable. But no current earnings guidance given at this stage.
Customers
- We have 10 customers in our sales pipeline for 2023. The sales guidance is based on projected demand these customers have given us for 2023.
- These customers are split roughly equally between stationary storage and E-Mobility by value.
- We have been positively surprised by storage demand.
Production plant
- We have a good funding plan in place – including up to EUR 2.1 million of subsidies granted by the State of Thuringia.
- All equipment has now been delivered to Hildburghausen.
- The production line has been fully reassembled.
- Each sub-station of the production line is now being brought into operation step by step through December.
- Re-qualification will take place in January and February.
Product
- We continue development work on pack upgrades and will post key milestones as and when they occur.
- Work continues on LIGHT battery development with an OEM as previously released and we will post on further key milestones.
Conclusion
- We are now a fully fledged pack design and manufacturing business with an approximate 2 GWh capacity on site requiring no further equipment investment. We do have the ability to expand this further on site. We own 100% of this business.
- We can discuss more on our Q3 update call in a few weeks.
