Nel ASA (Nel) reported revenue and operating income in the third quarter 2022 of NOK 183 million, down 20% from the third quarter 2021 (Q3 2021: 229). The decline was driven by lower sales in Fueling and PEM electrolysers whereas alkaline electrolysers experienced strong growth.

EBITDA of NOK -214 million (Q3 2021: -113) driven by high losses in Fueling, low margins on electrolyser projects signed in 2020/2021 and increased personnel expenses to prepare for large-scale projects
Strong cash balance of NOK 3 520 million (Q3 2021: 2 930).
