1. Unaudited data

Strong growth in activity in 1^er semester 2022

After a 2021 financial year, which had recorded a strong recovery in the group’s activity, the pace accelerated further in the 1^er half of 2022 with the quadrupling of DBT CEV sales. The final half-year turnover amounts to 4,610 K€, an increase of 116.9% compared to the same period of the previous financial year.

Results impacted by the increase in the price of components and the recruitment needed to consolidate the group’s growth

Gross margin was €587,000, with sustained growth of 49.3%. However, it progressed less strongly than the activity due to the increase in the cost of certain components used in the manufacture of terminals. However, the inflation noted on supplies was limited thanks to the preferential use of regional subcontractors.

Personnel costs amounted to €1,868,000, a slight increase of 2.1%. Other operating expenses decreased by €208,000 to €1,652,000. After taking into account depreciation and provisions for €641,000. The operating loss amounted to €2,602,000, i.e. a decrease of 17.4% compared to that recorded in 1^er semester of 2021, continuing the improvement trend recorded in 2021. In the absence of other significant elements, the Result comes out at -€2,572 thousand at 1^er semester 2022.

Balance sheet analysis

As of June 30, 2022, DBT’s equity amounted to €11,826 thousand compared to €10,348 thousand as of December 31, 2021, an increase of €1,478 thousand. The growth is mainly due to the conversion of convertible bonds into shares and the exercise of warrants under the equity financing contract signed with ABO. Available cash was €1,293,000 compared to €218,000 at the start of the year. Financial debt improved by 28% to 993 K€ against 1,393 K€ at the end of the previous financial year.

Prospects still very favorable

DBT is raising its order intake target in 2022 to at least €13 million, which should enable it to achieve annual revenue of more than €10 million. On the day of publication of this press release, it has already reached €8 million. The historic booking level should also fuel business growth in 2023.

At the same time, DBT intends to continue its diversification towards the business of electric vehicle charging operator with its subsidiary R3. After recording its first commercial successes and deploying the first terminals in 2022, the group has taken a new step with the creation of R3 Infra Invest, a majority subsidiary of R3, formed in partnership with two renowned financial partners in renewable energy, the Banque des Territoires and Amundi Energy Transition. This entity, endowed with 50 M€, of which 20% comes from the DBT group, aims to transform and democratize the uses of electric mobility by investing in IRVE (Recharge Infrastructure for Electric Vehicles) projects. These projects will benefit from DBT equipment and will be operated by R3.

In this context, Alexandre Borgoltz, CEO of DBT declares:

“The successes achieved by the entire range of our electric charging stations are the result of past efforts which have enabled the design of new generation stations, the creation of new production and supply capacities adapted to our ambitions. The many challenges that will continue to mark the life of DBT motivate us all and I would particularly like to thank all the employees and partners who are all devoted to the success of our group”.
