Accounting impact, non-cash
In Q2 2021, net profit was DKK -351 million of which DKK -317 million were related to an expected non-cash fair value adjustment mechanism derived from the convertible loan facility entered in December 2020 with A. P. Møller Holding, Nordic Alpha Partners and Norlys, as described in the Prospectus. The conversion of the loan at fair value has positively impacted equity by DKK 317 million offsetting the impact on net financials.

Sebastian Koks Andreassen, CEO of Green Hydrogen Systems comments: ”During second quarter of 2021, the green hydrogen industry experienced strong sentiment from policy makers and investors in the EU, US and Asia. Visions and declarations of intent start turning into actual regulation moving societies towards a future where green hydrogen will play a central role in a sustainable energy system. With the recent IPCC report ‘Climate Change 2021’ the call for action has become even more evident. I’m pleased to see, that we in Green Hydrogen Systems have experienced this momentum in our customer dialogues and order intake, and with the recent decision on expanding our production capacity to 400 MW we will be positioned to take part of the future scale-up of the global green hydrogen value chain.”
