News Release

 

FREYR Battery Reports Fourth Quarter and Full-Year 2021 Results

 

New York, Oslo and Luxembourg, February 28, 2022, FREYR Battery (NYSE: FREY) (“FREYR”), a developer of clean, next-generation battery cell production capacity, today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full fiscal year 2021.

 

Highlights of the fourth quarter 2021 and subsequent events:

 

Signed first two conditional offtake agreements with Honeywell (NASDAQ: HON) and a global industrial player representing more than 50 GWh of cumulative volumes from 2023 – 2030 for Energy Storage Systems (“ESS”) applications.

 

In negotiations with five additional companies for offtake agreements, which are projected to represent more than 150 GWh of estimated potential cumulative demand with several other leads in the FREYR commercial pipeline.

 

Entered into frame agreements for nine of 13 key raw materials required for the Customer Qualification Plant (“CQP”) and Gigafactories 1 & 2 in Mo i Rana, Norway. Negotiations of volumes, pricing terms and other conditions are expected to be concluded in 2022.

 

Announced intention to form joint venture with Aleees (TWSE: 5227) to establish lithium iron phosphate (“LFP”) cathode plant in the Nordic region as part of long-term strategy to establish low-carbon, localized supply chains.

 

FREYR’s technology partner, 24M Technologies (“24M”), announced a strategic partnership with Volkswagen Group (“VWAG”) encompassing a significant investment by VWAG into 24M, and a collaboration to develop production technology for SemiSolidTM battery cells for use in VWAG electric vehicles.

 

“We are very pleased with the continued progress we made during the fourth quarter to deliver on our aspiration to become a global, giga scale producer of clean, next-generation batteries,” said Tom Jensen, the CEO of FREYR. “With our first two conditional customer offtake agreements signed, our team is focused on reaching a Final Investment Decision (“FID”) on combined Gigafactories 1 & 2, growing our customer backlog, raising capital to fund our expansion, achieving our operational milestones, and enhancing our supply chains to deliver decarbonized cell production globally.”

 

Business Update

 

FREYR has committed to combining Gigafactories 1 & 2 into a single facility with eight production lines and upsized nameplate capacity of 18 GWh. The new facility is expected to have 40% higher capacity compared to the business plan that FREYR presented in February 2021.

 

FREYR is working with ECA/multilaterals, strategic partners, and investors to explore multiple avenues of raising additional capital required to fund planned giga-scale development.

 

CQP is on track for an estimated operational start in H2 2022; operational start of the combined Gigafactories 1 & 2 is targeted for H1 2024.

FREYR’s Board of Directors has approved the initial capital expenditure required to complete early ground- work, detailed engineering, and procurement at the Gigafactory site in Mo i Rana, where ground-breaking has already commenced.

 

FREYR is in advanced discussions with five potential customers with unmet projected demand of > 150 GWh regarding conditional offtake agreements across the ESS, commercial mobility and passenger EV sectors.

 

In negotiations to secure remaining four of 13 key raw material inputs for the CQP, and Gigafactories 1 & 2 in Mo i Rana. Volumes and pricing terms for all 13 frame agreements are expected to be finalized in 2022 as FREYR completes detailed diligence.

 

Results Overview, Financing and Liquidity

 

FREYR Battery reported a Net Loss for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2021 of ($28.0) million or ($0.24) per share compared to a Net Loss of ($45.4) million or ($0.42) per share in the third quarter of fiscal year 2021.

 

As of December 31, 2021, FREYR Battery had cash and cash equivalents of $565.6 million.

 

Business Outlook

 

FREYR is focused on advancing the following strategic mandates and milestones over the next 18 months:

 

Secure multiple tranches of capital required to fund FREYR’s giga scale expansion. FREYR has launched parallel processes with key stakeholders to explore the most capital efficient options to support development of the company’s business plan.

 

Finalize additional conditional offtake agreements across the ESS, commercial mobility and passenger EV market segments to support further capacity expansions.

 

Convert initial two offtake awards to final sales agreements with Honeywell and the global industrial customer. FREYR expects to announce several new commercial wins during 2022.

 

Achieve Phase 1 FID on combined Gigafactories 1 & 2 at Mo i Rana upon achievement of commercial, operational, and financing milestones, which is anticipated in H1 2022. FREYR intends to provide updated capital spending estimates and plant development timelines after the Phase 1 FID.

 

Progress to final site selection of planned initial Gigafactory in the U.S. and drive towards a potential FID in H2 2022.

 

Continue to execute FREYR’s long-term strategy to establish localized, decarbonized supply chains across the Nordic region and U.S.
