Breakdown of Q3 revenues by business segment

Forsee Power achieved sales of €26.2 million in the third quarter of 2022, up +152% compared to the same period in 2021. This good performance comes mainly from the booming heavy vehicle market, with sales up +312% compared to the third quarter of 2021, as the post-COVID recovery was longer in this segment. The light vehicle segment maintained its good momentum with a +13% growth.

In the first nine months of the year, Forsee Power generated revenues of €75.9 million, up 60% compared to 2021. As anticipated in the Group's strategic plan, the share of sales in the heavy-duty segment within total revenues is increasing and represents 77% of revenues at the end of September 2022 compared to 72% at the end of September 2021.

In terms of revenue breakdown by geography, international markets account for 51% of revenues at September 30, 2022. Forsee Power is further expanding its customer portfolio internationally, which is reflected in a strong increase in sales in the rest of Europe, which accounted for 41% of revenues at the end of September 2022, compared with 11% at the end of September 2021. The growth in this region is due in particular to a strong contribution from the customer Wrightbus in the heavy vehicle segment.

Outlook

Forsee Power confirms its 2022 revenue target of over €100 million. In addition, over the course of the year, the Group will focus on:

• The launch of the expansion of its production unit in the United States with the aim of reaching a production capacity of 3 GWh by 2027;
• Continued development of its commercial partnerships, particularly in the bus, off-highway and light vehicle market segments;
• Expanding its product and service offering.

Beyond that, Forsee Power also confirms its financial objectives for 2027, namely to achieve revenues of around €600 million and EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margins both above 15%.

Finally, Forsee Power remains vigilant regarding the uncertainties linked to the Covid-19 crisis, particularly in China, as well as the impacts of the conflict in Ukraine, the logistical impact between Asia and Europe, the rise in raw material prices and the tense supply situation for certain electronic components.
