Increased production capacity in a supporting energy environment

As of December 31st, 2022, revenues from electricity generation were multiplied by 3 and amounted to €12.7 million. This strong performance was achieved on the back of increased cogeneration capacity in Hauts-de-France and Wallonia, reaching now 15 MW (+50%).

The Group still benefits from a feed-intariff for 53% of its installed capacity in France and Belgium, the electricity produced by the 5 new CHPs installed in the course of 2022 being monetized through Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs), with an average selling price of more than 250 €/MWH over this semester.

In H1 2023, gas revenues increased to €7.6 million, up by 56% YoY, in a supporting energy prices market.

Revenues from the sale of heat in Béthune and Creutzwald amounted to €246 k and Cryo Pur's contribution over this semester was €266 k and mainly represents the final revenues associated with the sale of the LBG and Bio-CO2 installation in Norway.

Ongoing organic growth developments

Discussions related to the administrative authorizations required for the additional CHPs roll- out on 7 new sites in France are progressing, in a context where monetizing the electricity produced under PPAs allows the Group to optimize its revenues stream, without any price caps. To date, a large part of the selling prices under these PPAs are fixed at over €230 /MWH for the next 12-months.

FDE has also started production from its first ground-basedphotovoltaic plant with an installed capacity of 15 MW, which will contribute positively to the FY 2023 revenues. In addition, 40 hectares have already been secured to deploy the future photovoltaic projects and reach the initial targeted 42 MW installed capacity.

In Lorraine, FDE continues to make progress on the technical aspects of two strategic developments, being the production of hydrogen by methane pyrolysis (whereby FDE, together with a large-scale industrial consortium, is working on a carbon-free hydrogen production pilot before further possible industrial development) and a significant CO2 storage capacity in deep coals, pending the granting of the Blue Lorraine gas concession.

Finally, the contracting of new projects in Europe using Cryo Pur's technology is being finalized, while the Group is implementing its industrialization process and standardization strategy, that will enable to meet the growing demands for LBG and Bio-CO2.

FDE confirms its FY 2026 objectives of annual revenues of more than €100 million, and an EBITDA above €50 million, combined with over 10 million tons of CO2eq emissions avoided per annum
