Trading Update

eEnergy (AIM: EAAS), the net zero energy services provider, is pleased to provide an update on trading for the six months ended 31 December 2022 ("Period").

Group Trading and Highlights

The Board is pleased with progress made on trading during H1.

 
      --   Strong H1 revenue growth, up 58% to GBP15.1 million 
            (H1 2022: GBP9.6 million) 
      --   Improving operating margin with Adjusted EBITDA(1) 
            up 87% to GBP1.5 million (H1 2022: GBP0.8 million) 
      --   Cash as at 31 December 2022 was GBP1.1m (30 June 2022: 
            GBP1.4m) excluding GBP0.4m of restricted cash balances 
            (30 June 2022: GBP0.2m)

Business Segments

Energy Services revenues were GBP8.5 million in the Period, a 79% increase compared to the six months ended 31 December 2021 ("H1 2022") reflecting momentum in the sales pipeline and despite higher margin solar revenues being delayed into H2. Energy Management revenues were GBP6.5 million, a 35% increase compared to H1 2022, with revenues reflecting consumption in line with expectations and strong renewal levels.

Cash Position

Cash as at 31 December 2022 was GBP1.1 million (30 June 2022: GBP1.4million), excluding GBP0.4m of restricted cash balances (30 June 2022: GBP0.2m), reflecting scheduled payments of trade creditors and legacy balance sheet items following drawdown of the new subordinated debt facility.

Full Year Outlook

The Group has a growing pipeline of opportunities for the remainder of the financial year and has contracted forward revenues ("Forward Order Book"), as at 31 December 2022, of GBP26.4 million over 4 years (up 45% from 31 December 2021). Of the Forward Order Book, GBP8.8 million is expected to be recognised as revenue in H2 FY23 and GBP6.8 million recognised in FY24.

Amortisation charges will reflect full year effect of certain items, with increased finance costs relating to a generally higher interest rate environment and the new subordinated debt facility.

Given the strength of the pipeline and historic H2 weighting, whilst recognising the importance of the next two key trading months ahead, the Board is cautiously optimistic for the trading outlook for FY2023

eEnergy expects to report its interim results during the week commencing 27 March 2023.

Note: (1) Adjusted EBITDA excluding Exceptional Items. Exceptional Items are those items which, in the opinion of the Directors, should be excluded in order to provide a consistent and comparable view of the underlying performance of the Group's ongoing business, including the costs incurred in delivering the 'Buy & Build' strategy associated with acquisitions and strategic investments, costs of restructuring and transforming acquired businesses and share-based payments.
