A WORD FROM OUR CEO:
Order of
During the quarter, we signed a contract for two HeatPower 300 modules, for a total value of
Our technology gives the industry a perfect opportunity to produce sustainable electricity. The increased energy efficiency that HeatPower 300 allows, means that carbon dioxide emissions are reduced, and by that, we support end customers in their transition to a more environmentally friendly operation. NEO GROUP is one of
On our marine side, operations are also intense. We discuss and negotiate with both shipping companies and shipyards, mainly concerning cruise ships and newbuilding of container ships. There are concrete discussions about everything from fuel and environmental savings, technical solutions, and specifications, to delivery times and payment models. We have potential customers who have already completed audits at our test facility in Kista and at our module manufacturer in southern
When we engage with analysts and journalists, we often get questions about how big the potential market is for our product. Between 1,500 and 1,800 ships with a size over 3,000 gross tons are built each year. We consider 30 percent of these, i.e., 500 - 600 vessels, to be suitable for
At the same time, it is important to keep in mind that it is a protracted sales process. It usually takes at least a year from a first contact, until the customers are ready to sign an agreement. During this time, calculations are made at various levels regarding, for example, energy and emission savings, initial installation design and calculations of installation costs. In the final phase, the necessary audits and negotiations are conducted with all involved parties - both with
The HeatPower 300 product platform is adapted to meet technical, profitability and legal requirements, in the maritime market and land-based European market. The maritime market is a good starting point, as it places very stringent demands on function, reliability, and price. Now that we can satisfy the demands of the maritime market, it is easier to adapt the product to other markets, as we recently did with our Lithuanian industrial customer.
We continue to commission units and provide service, maintenance, and spare parts to all customers on land and at sea who operate our previous model HeatPower 150. During the quarter we worked with tuning and commissioning on the marine side with cruise lines
From a financial perspective, long-term profitability is our primary goal. We see that the order we have now won for HeatPower 300, as well as others still in the negotiation stage, have better profitability than its predecessor. We also continue to conduct strict cost control and follow the financial plan we have laid out in terms of both costs and cash flow.
Our team continues to conduct customer discussions and negotiations, tests, certification work, customer documentation and production drawings - and not least the activation of our supply chain. The competence and experience we have gained, and the processes we have developed through our work with HeatPower 150, means that we can quickly initiate a low serial production and then quickly increase the pace. To improve cash flow in the short and long term, we are continuously working on a number of different options, including signing of new orders, working capital improvements and reviewing the value of other assets. We have also built up our organization during the year and quarter. We now have two dedicated sales teams in place for our respective markets which, thanks to having a competent technical and execution team at home, can continue
