Hexagon Composites ASA Financial Results for Q4 2024
Hexagon Composites ASA, the leading innovator in composite cylinder technology, recently announced its financial results for the fourth quarter of 2024. The company reported impressive revenues of NOK 1,533 million, a significant increase from NOK 1,272 million in the same quarter of the previous year. This remarkable growth demonstrates Hexagon's ability to adapt and thrive in the clean gaseous energy sector.
Strong EBITDA Performance
In addition to the revenue increase, Hexagon Composites achieved an EBITDA of NOK 257 million, compared to only NOK 99 million in Q4 2023. The company’s EBITDA margin expanded to an impressive 17%, up from 8% a year prior. This rise indicates not only growth in revenue but also improved operational efficiency and profitability.
Comments from Leadership
Philipp Schramm, CEO of Hexagon Composites, expressed pride in the company’s performance. He noted, "Hexagon Group delivered all-time high revenues and a second consecutive record-high EBITDA quarter. Despite challenging conditions in the freight markets, our robust volumes have driven profitability." This reflects the dedicated efforts of the team in navigating the complexities of the market.
Overall Performance in 2024
Looking at the broader context, the full-year revenues for 2024 totaled NOK 4,877 million, up from NOK 4,526 million in 2023. The full-year EBITDA skyrocketed to NOK 637 million from NOK 366 million last year, aligning with the growth in Hexagon's Mobile Pipeline and Fuel Systems divisions.
Future Outlook
As Hexagon heads into 2025, it anticipates a softening in the North American freight market during the first half. Nevertheless, the company expects a rebound in the freight market in the latter half of the year. With the projected availability of North American X15N natural gas trucks expected to rise in Q3, Hexagon remains optimistic about capitalizing on significant growth opportunities.
Market Dynamics and Opportunities
Global targets for emissions reduction and the increasing economic viability of natural gas (RNG/CNG) position Hexagon’s offerings for substantial market expansion. Predictions indicate a tenfold growth in natural gas trucking in North America by 2030, providing fertile ground for Hexagon’s Mobile Pipeline and fuel systems to flourish.
Hexagon's Competitive Advantage
With its industry-leading products, advanced production facilities, and a team of experts, Hexagon Composites is well-prepared to seize growth opportunities in the clean energy sector as they emerge in 2025 and beyond.
