ADS-TEC ENERGY PLC

Hi, everyone. Welcome to ADS Tech Energy's full year 2022 earnings call. A recording of today's call and a presentation can be accessed shortly after it concludes from the investors section of our website. Joining me on today's call are Thomas Speidel, founder and CEO of ADS Tech Energy, and Wolfgang Bremer, CFO of ADS Tech Energy. Today, we will be discussing ADS Tech's latest financial results for the full year 2022, guidance for 2023, and conclude with a Q&A session. Please note, to ask a question, you will need to dial in with the telephone details provided. During the call, management will be making forward-looking statements regarding full year 2023 and onwards, and the outlook for expected growth in investment initiatives. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control and could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations, including among other risks and uncertainties, supply chain issues, the war in Ukraine, and geopolitical challenges. These forward-looking statements apply as of today, and we undertake no obligation to update these statements after the call. For a more detailed description of factors that could cause actual results to differ, please refer to the Risk Factors section of our Annual Report on Form 20F previously filed with the SEC and posted to the Investors section of our website. Also, please note that financial measures presented on this call adhere to IFRS and non-IFRS. We use non-IFRS measures because we believe they provide useful information about our operating performance that should be considered by investors in conjunction with the IFRS measures that we provide. A reconciliation of these non-IFRS measures to comparable IFRS measures is included in the earnings release and investor presentation. If you require operator assistance, please press star then zero. With that, I will turn the call over to Thomas Speidel, ADS Tech's founder and CEO. Thomas?

Thomas Speidel Yes, thank you very much. Very warm welcome from my side and from Wolfgang to this call. I'm happy that you take your time and go with us through this earning call. Let me start with some information about our product portfolio and where we are. As I guess most of you know, that Chargebox is the product which is already out there in the field and which is our battery buffer supercharger being well received and up and operating. We have now, and you will see that later, not only our initial customer from the automotive business, now we have more customers, and I want to show you later in the presentation where the Chargebox, meanwhile, is operating and serving not only in the EV business, but also in related businesses of mobility, such now the first time also for electric boating. The second product segment was battery buffer charging. We have announced it, and we are proud that we made it on time last year due to all the difficulties in supply chain and shortages. It's the charge post. The charge post, similar technology, so we can connect to the existing low-power grid. In this case, it is an all-in-one solution, so no separate dispenser. And we added up to two big advertisement screens, which allows us to offer our customers more revenue streams. And this is very important to understand the ADS Tech business model. We are not a component supplier. We are providing platforms, including hardware, software, and services over long-term periods that allows our customers and partners to operate their business to the end customer. Charge posts. has been launched, as expected, 2022. And we also will see later a little bit more information about the charge post. It's very well received. We have presented it the first time on the new exhibition in Stuttgart here, VoltaX. And mainly from infrastructure investors and operators, we get very solid feedback. The reason is it's easy to install. It's providing many different revenue streams. And as I said, in this case, the advertisement comes on top of it. The power booster. So these two segments, power booster and storage rack systems, that's our commercial industrial business, which we are doing since many, many years. Here we have updated and expanded our portfolio. So new batteries, as we have announced it, so new cells and modules came in. And this year, 2023, we are starting to deploy the new and expanded systems to the market. Next page, please.

Don't see it.
