McPhy's 2020 revenue increased by 20% and firm orders by 75 %: a very good business trend highlighted by emblematic projects
La Motte-Fanjas (France), January 26, 2021 – 5:45 pm CET – McPhy (Euronext Paris Compartment C: MCPHY, FR0011742329) , a specialist in zero-carbon hydrogen production and distribution equipment, today announces its annual revenue for the year to December 31, 2020.
Laurent Carme, Chief Executive Officer of McPhy, states: “ 2020 was marked by the signing of several contracts reflecting the transition to industrial scale of McPhy, as well as of the entire zero-carbon hydrogen industry. McPhy has demonstrated the strong attractiveness and relevance of its offer and technology to serve emblematics large-scale projects at the heart of this hydrogen revolution.
The €180 million capital increase carried out in October 2020 gives us the means to achieve our ambitions to accelerate the development of our industrial capacities and the new generations of electrolyzers and hydrogen stations that meet the size, competitiveness and safety challenges demanded by the market. It also marks the strengthening of our partnership with our historical strategic shareholders, EDF Pulse Croissance Holding and the Ecotechnologies Fund represented by Bpifrance Investissement as part of the “Programme d'Investissements d'Avenir” (set up by the French State to finance innovative and promising investments on the territory), and new strategic investors such as Chart Industries and Technip Energies.
As a major technological and industrial partner in the hydrogen industry, McPhy is well positioned to take advantage of a very favorable business trend which should continue and expand in 2021. The strategic plan for hydrogen, presented by the European Commission on July 8, 2020 which aims to develop the demand and production capacities of green hydrogen in Europe with a target of 6 gigawatts (GW) in 2024, and 40 GW in 2030, specifically supports companies of the future like McPhy. France is also committed to this voluntarist policy, with the creation in January 2021 of the National Hydrogen Council. This institution, of which McPhy is a member, has the mission to ensure the deployment of the National Strategy for the development of decarbonated hydrogen .
Hydrogen gains momentum and I would like to thank the McPhy teams, as well as all our partners, for their confidence and support in the Company's growth.”
Signature of major commercial contracts in France and Europe, with revenue of €13.7 million representing an increase of +20%, and firm orders of €23.0 million for 2020, representing an increase of +75% compared with 2019
McPhy's 2020 sales increased by 20% to €13.7 million, compared with €11.4 million in 2019. It is made up of 60% by the supply of electrolyzers (of which 49% are large-capacity electrolyzers) and 40% by hydrogen stations.
Among the outstanding events of the year:
The increase in the number of projects and the change in scale of the implemented technologies are contributing to the industrialization of the sector, reducing the associated costs and encouraging the development of competitive solutions with the highest standards of performance, quality and safety.
To date, the total number of contracts for which McPhy has been selected brings to 44 MW and 35 stations its total number of references.
Strategic partnerships with leading industrial groups
In a particularly favorable context for zero-carbon hydrogen, McPhy has strengthened its position as a major player in this industry by signing strategic partnerships with Chart Industries and Technip Energies, two leading industrial groups in their respective sectors:
In addition to their participation in the capital increase initiated on October 13, 2020, these two strategic players bring in-depth expertise that complements McPhy's technologies. Combined with EDF's long-standing support, a genuine ecosystem of complementary know-how and geographies has thus been formed to enable the Company to respond to very large-scale projects in the fields of industry, mobility and energy, all over the world.
Cash position of €198 million at 31 December 2020, thanks to the €180 million capital increase in October 2020 for the industrialization of production methods and international ramp-up development
Following the success of the capital increase through a private placement last October, the Company has increased its shareholder's equity capital and has a cash position of €198 million at 31 December 2020. As mentioned in the amendment to the 2019 universal registration document , approved by the Autorité des Marchés Financiers on October 14, 2020, the net proceeds of this capital increase will be used primarily to accelerate the deployment of the Group's strategy and to finance:
