Guidance for 2023
Green Hydrogen Systems maintains guidance for 2023 as follows: - Revenue: DKK 120 to 160 million
- EBITDA: DKK -280 to -240 million
- CAPEX: DKK 270 to 300 million
Green Hydrogen Systems sees a larger risk of not realising the revenue guidance for 2023 due to a concentration of A-Series factory acceptance tests, deliveries and thereby revenue recognition in the last two months of 2023. The concentration of revenue in Q4 2023 originates from the previously communicated supply chain challenges related to critical component deliveries.
Peter Friis, CEO of Green Hydrogen Systems comments: “We continue and accelerate the roll-out of electrolysers to our customers as we head into the tail end of 2023. However, the high number of deliveries concentrated in Q4 2023 concerns me. Ramping up customer deliveries and reaching new important hydrogen project milestones will support our ongoing sales efforts of converting the pipeline of non-binding offers to new orders to existing and new customers. The testing and maturing of our X-Series 6MW prototype 1 is progressing at the project site in Skive, Denmark, and we see strong interest in our X-Series prototype 2 and X-Series product.”
