Norsk Titanium progressing towards commercial expansion with Airbus

02 Feb 2023 07:30 CET

Norsk Titanium continues progress towards expansion in the commercial aerospace
market. The company is awaiting final qualification approval of its RPD®
technology for serial production of titanium parts for delivery to tier-one
suppliers of Airbus, which is expected in the first half 2023.

President and CEO Michael Canario will be hosting meetings today with investors
in Oslo, as Norsk Titanium continues to evaluate strategic opportunities to
secure additional long-term funding while the company begins to ramp up
production during the first half of 2023.

“We are very pleased with our progress with Airbus. Upon final qualification
approval of our technology, we could quickly expand our backlog with serial
production of parts under multi-year contracts. The building of a backlog with
Airbus and other commercial aerospace customers will represent significant
de-risking of our business plans,” says Canario.

Upon successful final qualification, Norsk Titanium will supply up to a total of
300 parts across two part numbers to Airbus’ A350 program. In addition, there
are ongoing discussions to initiate serial production in 2023 of two similar
sized parts and one larger part on the same aircraft program.

Hittech, a critical supplier to the semiconductor industry, recently awarded the
company an order for serial production of ASML carrier trays. This is another
significant milestone supporting Norsk Titanium’s long-term vision of innovating
the future of metal alloy manufacturing, and the transition from a strong
technology position into large commercial opportunities across the commercial
aerospace, industrial and defense industries.

The company reiterates its previously indicated revenue target of USD 150
million in 2026, with a capacity utilization of approximately 50% of existing
production facilities. The scope of the contract with Hittech and the potential
orders from Airbus tier-one suppliers indicate a revenue level of USD 7-15
million for this year, with the timing of the ramp up of production explaining
the deviation from the previously indicated target of USD 15 million for 2023.

today’s investor meetings.
