COMMENT FROM MARCUS THOR, CEO
I can summarise yet another eventful quarter for Hexicon with several new strategic achievements and increased political ambitions around the globe. While Hexicon’s focus remains on the creation of long-term growth and value generation around our first mover advantage, we did see an increase in revenue for the period sooner than forecasted stemming from the value created through origination and early developments of projects.

During the period, and more so since our IPO in June, we have moved forward within the entire project portfolio. Our early establishment in South Korea, the 1.4 GW MunmuBaram project, that Shell bought into during spring of 2019, has recently concluded various environmental campaigns and has applied for multiple electricity generation licenses.

Additionally, CoensHexicon has been granted priority rights to four additional areas in South Korean waters. This is a major success and confirms our business model of being an originator and early-stage developer in key markets and with local partners.

The second of the two synergetic parts of our business model, being a foundation technology provider, has taken some important steps forward. The TwinWay demonstrator project has achieved its feasibility certification by DNV and recently partnered with global contractor Worley which will fabricate the TwinWind, starting in about a year from now.

In summary, over a period of significant increased political ambitions, we have continued to enhance the project portfolio value and have taken significant steps forward in maturing the patented TwinWind technology, all in line with the plan set forth at the time of the IPO in June 2021.
