Entech : 2023 24 full year results

PRESS RELEASE

• Strong annual revenue growth (+32%)
• Results in line with forecasts, with breakeven in the second half
• 2025-26guidance confirmed
• October 2024: announcement of new ambitions

Quimper, 25 June 2024, 5.45 p.m. - Entech (FR0014004362 - ALESE), a technology company specialising in the storage and intelligent management of renewable energies, is publishing results for the 2023-24 financial year (ended 31 March 2024) in line with forecasts.

Entech's two main businesses, Storage and Production, each accounted for half of 2023-24annual revenue and grew at a similar pace over the year:

• The Storage business (+40% to €22.6m) benefited from a ramp-upin increasingly large contracts;
• The photovoltaic energy Production business (+36% to €22.6m) continued to be driven by the sale of ground-basedpower plants on behalf of electricity producers. Activity was also underpinned by growing demand for solar roofs from farmers, manufacturers and shopping centres seeking to reduce their carbon footprint and energy bills through self-consumption(with or without storage) and, in some cases, the resale of part of the energy produced.

The start of the year reflected the investment strategy aimed at supporting the strong growth in activity, but the company achieved breakeven in the second half of the year.

PRESS RELEASE

Gross margin contracted by 1.6 points on strong business growth and pressure on the supply of certain components.

EBITDA was down €1.2m for the financial year but, as expected, reached breakeven in the second half of the year, at €0.1m. External expenses accounted for 8.1% of revenue, compared with 8.8% in 2022-23,and personnel

expenses (excluding subcontracting, included in gross margin) for 21.4% of revenue, compared with 20.4% in 2022-23. The average headcount in 2023-24 was 137, compared with 112 in 2022-23. Recruitments were mainly aimed at strengthening the Operations and Sales teams. Entech is now structured to support the expected ramp- up in business activity.

Net income came out at a loss of €2.9m for the year, again with breakeven achieved in the second half.

Fixed assets increased by €2.7m, a result in particular of the capitalisation of R&D projects to the tune of €2.4m (of which €2.2m already in fixed assets at 31 March 2023), offset by depreciation charges totalling €1.1m.

Entech had a solid balance sheet at 31 March 2024 with equity of €26.2m and a free cash flow of €9.7m. Financial debt increased by €10.6m owing to the implementation in October 2023 of syndicated banking debt totalling €12.3m on 31 March 2024 (out of the €15m available). The company also honoured its bank loan maturities in the amount of €1.8m. The debt ratio thus rose from 0.22 at 31 March 2023 to 0.65 at 31 March 2024.

The operating working capital requirement amounted to €18.4m, i.e. 146 days of revenue excluding tax, compared

with 152 days of revenue excluding tax at 31 March 2023.
