Photocat A/S : Reports highest sales of photocatalytic materials in 2015

SUMMARY


SIGNIFICANT EVENTS                                                                                                      

DURING THE PERIOD

  • Photocat completed Initial Public Offering on Nasdaq First North Stockholm. The Company raised SEK 14.6 m. First day of trading in November 2015.
  • Signed agreements with 2 important customers in Photocat Garden and Shine-On business. The agreements will secure important distribution of Photocat products.

after the period

  • Entered agreement with Quandt Dachbahnen in Berlin aiming at supplying the Berlin area with Roofing membranes to reduce the consequences of Dieselgate.
  • Entered agreement with Binné & Sohn GmbH in Hamburg aimed at offering a range of NOx reducing bitumen membranes. The products will be marketed through Binné & Sohn existing points of sales.

       


MESSAGE FROM THE CEO

The Fourth Quarter was a busy quarter where many customer leads put Photocat on hold position as they expressed uncertainty on whether the Paris COP 21 turned out positive. Furthermore, they wanted to  see Photocat results of the  Initial Public Offering in the 4th quarter. In Q4 Photocat had tested its sales set up and verified through focused actions on specific customers the ability to sell technology solutions using Photocat air purifying technology. 2015 became the first year where Photocat converted from offering consultancy services to delivering photocatalysts. Photocat delivered more than 10 ton of catalyst in 2015 which is an all-time high and shows that we have got a base of solid  recurring customers, who believes in the NOxOFF technology. The expected upturn in turnover is expected to be delayed with 6 to 9 months based on the developments in the second half and particular last quarter of 2015.

From the point of getting customers to sign-in with the NOxOFF concept we could see that the lead portfolio of Photocat proved to be genuine although it took longer than expected to land the 2 most recent  NOxOFF Bitumen customers. It also became clear that the specific leads wanted to see the outcome of Photocat's IPO before starting the production of NOxOFF solutions. The turnover landed below 2015 expectations due to  a later listing date than expected. Photocat has since the start of 2016 entered into agreements securing significant growth in sales of Photocatalyst in 2016 as the orders at present is higher than the total volumes delivered in 2015.

The IPO resulted in a success on the first day of trading as both volume in share sales where higher than average for First North listed companies. The outcome of the IPO gave Photocat sufficient funds to operate and implement first part of the strategy plan. Yet it may be that Photocat will try to exploit the mandate at hand to increase the share capital and raise additional capital in 2016. Photocat has credit lines available from its financial institution which will be reviewed in order to see whether these facilities should be enlarged or reduced.

In the aftermath of the COP21 it became clear that the matter of air pollution is a major world health problem and not only in China. Today the most air polluted cities are estimated to be in India and since the publication in Environmental Pollution from the Dutch research group from Radboud University it is clear that Dieselgate alone will cost enormous resources and mean 45.000 Disability Adjusted Life Years (DALY's). Photocat believe that these result will to a greater extent than earlier force political decision makers to react and appreciate documentation based solutions to reduce NOx in the air similar to what Photocat offers.

Financial Summary of the year 2015

  • Photocats first year of transformation from R&D Company ended with a strong growth in volume sales of our photocatalyst in both Photocat GardenTM, NOxOFFTM, Shine-OnTM and ACTIFLOORTM. In all 4 product categories volume is up to all time high levels. What is promising for 2016 is that we have orders for higher volumes than we delivered in 2015 for all product categories.
  • To meet the demands and to be able to deliver on time to the customers, Photocat has increased production of photocatalytic materials and increased inventory.hone: +45 70 22 50 55016)07.2016 - 31.ing d economically to degrade NOx ed materials s that we have orders for higher volumes t
  • 2015 was also the first year we recorded sales in all four product families.
