Interim Results for the six months ended 30 June 2026

Clean Power Hydrogen plc (AIM: CPH2), the UK-based green hydrogen technology company, announces its unaudited results for the six months ended 30 June 2026 (“H1 2026”).

Highlights

Strategic pivot and new leadership implemented following the incident of 28 May 2026 during the third and final stage of FAT3 at the Company’s dedicated test-site.

Richard Scott agreed to become CEO of the Company to lead a new strategy of a capital-light global technology development and licensing company. Restructuring and repositioning immediately undertaken to significantly reduce cash burn.

Siemens formal engagement commenced on 26 March 2026 with a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding (“MoU”) to support CPH2’s product and process development, customer introductions and go-to-market strategies.

Non-binding MoU with Koch Modular Process Systems LLC (subsidiary of Koch Industries) to explore manufacturing or licensing of up to 100MW of the Company’s proprietary modular technology for the USA, Mexico and Canada markets.

Non-binding MoU with ABE Gruppe GmbH (subsidiary of BKW AG) to explore the supply, installation and long-term servicing of up to 175MW of MFETM capacity over the next ten years in Germany and Switzerland.

Term sheet agreed with Hidrigin for a £750k convertible loan note (subject to negotiation and definitive agreement) and to enter into an exclusivity arrangement for a nine-month period to negotiate and complete a Strategic Partnership and Manufacturing and Technology Development Agreement.

A deed of termination and settlement in respect of a subcontract with Lagan MEICA Limited (“Lagan”) was agreed on 25 June 2026 settling all matters between them and terminating the subcontract through the payment of a settlement sum.

Financial Highlights

Loss of £4.9m for the six months ended 30 June 2026.

£0.6m spent on development work in the period.

Cash and cash equivalents of £0.2m at 30 June 2026.

Post-Period Highlights

On 20 July 2026, the Company successfully completed an oversubscribed fundraise achieving £7.3m gross proceeds (£6.5m net) to support the Group’s new strategy.

Following the fundraise, the Company began a restructuring program as part of its transition to a capital-light business model.

Richard Scott, CEO of CPH2, commented:

“The first half of 2026 was a period of significant progress, followed by a significant setback which prompted an important and decisive change in strategy with new leadership. With the successful, oversubscribed fundraise and the restructure of the Company now completed, we are in a strong position with significantly reduced cash burn going forward. The reset has allowed us to reposition the Company towards more attractive capital-light model and the flexibility to enter higher growth global markets, better aligned with our core strengths and capabilities. Our focus is now firmly on executing the new strategy and generating renewed commercial traction.”

I’m pleased to report to shareholders as the new Chief Executive of the Company. CPH2 has a wealth of advanced technical capability, experience and significant intellectual property across hydrogen related technologies. I am excited for the future of the Company as we rapidly execute a capital-light model to leverage our core strengths in the still growing global market for hydrogen production.

Commercially, the first half of 2026 was characterised by strong growth in commercial traction, building relationships with parties capable of supporting the next phase of commercial development. Formal engagement commenced with Siemens to support product and process development, customer introductions and go-to-market strategies. In addition, the Company announced non-binding MoUs with Koch Modular Process Systems LLC and ABE Gruppe GmbH to explore manufacturing, licensing, supply, installation and servicing opportunities in targeted international markets.

The Company continued progress during the period with major technical and regulatory milestones passed. This was followed by a material delay in our innovation programme due to the incident on 28 May 2026. As previously reported, the Company’s initial investigations established that the Group’s proprietary membrane-free stack and associated separators were not the cause of the incident, and the Company has engaged an independent consultant to define the root cause, which will provide a basis for determining the technology product roadmap. These independent reports have not yet been submitted to the Board on the agreed timescales. We will provide an update on the conclusions once they have been received and reviewed. Detailed internal technical analysis, now completed, does not alter our previous view or statements. We expect the external and independent report to be materially similar.

Following the incident, the Company swiftly undertook a strategic pivot towards a more capital-light model focused on technology development, intellectual property exploitation and global licensing, and appointed new leadership to drive the business forward in a new direction.

The existing three licensees across 14 countries remain an important foundation for the Company’s revised commercial model, and we are encouraged that the licensees have continued to support the business following the testing incident. As announced, CPH2 entered into a binding term sheet with Hidrigin which included a £750k convertible loan (subject to final negotiation and definitive agreement), and an exclusivity arrangement to negotiate and complete a Strategic Partnership and Manufacturing and Technology Development Agreement.

The new strategy focuses on CPH2’s core strengths of electrolyser and hydrogen technology design and innovation. Now being unconstrained by internal manufacturing limitations, CPH2 can target new, higher growth market opportunities such as Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF) and Ammonia which both have a hydrogen requirement. This is typically in very large volumes, and our technology can play a part. The new market for UAVs (drones) is via Defence contractors who value the range, thermal and noise advantages of hydrogen.

We are developing a revised product roadmap to better capture these opportunities, and to leverage not only the exceptional technology progress made in 2025, but also our proven capabilities in developing electrolyser systems providing premium-price ultra-high purity hydrogen and oxygen for markets such as semiconductors, pharmaceuticals, solar cell manufacturing and water treatment.

Financial review

The period to 30 June 2026 comprised of a strong focus on correct capital allocation to facilitate CPH2 achieving its key milestones, while keeping tight control of expenditure over other activities. The Company incurred a loss of £4.9m for the period ended 30 June 2026 (H1 2025: £3.4m). Administrative costs (H1 2026: £3.2m) were tightly controlled and in line with H2 2025, with a moderate increase of £0.2m higher than the comparative period. The Company invested £0.6m in development costs during the period (H1 2025: £0.6m). Impairment losses of £1.2m (H1 2025: nil) result from the write down of inventories (£1.1m) and property, plant and equipment (£0.1m) following the Company’s strategic decision not to continue manufacturing. A contract loss of £1.1m was incurred (H1 2025: £0.7m) due to an increase in costs incurred during the period on fulfilment of a commercial contract and £0.3m expected to incur beyond the 30 June 2026.The contract in question has since been settled and no further obligations arise in relation to the contract.

Following the incident on 28 May 2026, a dedicated effort has been made to restructure and significantly reduce costs to achieve a substantially lower cash burn going forward as part of its transition to a capital-light licensing model.

Subsequent to the period we were pleased to complete an oversubscribed fundraise on 20 July 2026 receiving approximately £7.3m gross proceeds, placing the Company in a secure financial position and together with the accelerated restructuring and repositioning program, which is now complete, CPH2 is well-positioned to capitalise on its valuable intellectual property portfolio in a more sustainable, faster to market, lower cost manner.

Conclusion and Outlook

The Board has moved quickly to reposition CPH2 as a capital-light technology development and licensing business. The reset has allowed us to reorient towards new target markets unencumbered by legacy decisions and to strive towards opportunities which better reflect the Company’s core strengths. Cash burn is on track to be down 70% in Q1 2027 v Q1 2026 and we retain our existing licensees in challenging circumstances. We are progressing to expand licensing routes globally and develop new technologies to meet the needs of a rapidly evolving market opportunity. We look forward to sharing a new product and technology roadmap in the coming months.

I would like to thank our employees, shareholders, partners and licensees for their continued support during this period of transition. CPH2 has valuable intellectual property, a committed highly knowledgeable team and a more focused route to market. We believe the strategic pivot provides the right platform from which to pursue the significant commercial opportunities available to the Company and to create long-term value for shareholders.

Notes to the Condensed Interim Financial Statements

FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 30 JUNE 2026

1 Corporate information

Clean Power Hydrogen plc is a public company incorporated in the United Kingdom and listed on the Alternative Investment Market (“AIM”). The registered address of the Company is Unit D Parkside Business Park, Spinners Road, Doncaster, England, DN2 4BL. The principal activity of the Company is as a holding company for subsidiaries engaged in the development of a patented method of hydrogen and oxygen production, together with the development of a gas separation technique which enables hydrogen to be produced as ‘Green Hydrogen’ and oxygen to medical grade purity.

2 Basis of preparation

This unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the six months ended 30 June 2026 and 30 June 2025 have been prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement principles of UK adopted international accounting standards (‘IFRS’) including IAS 34 ‘Interim Financial Reporting’.

The accounting policies applied by the Group include those as set out in the consolidated financial statements for the Group for the year ended 31 December 2025 and are consistent with those to be used by the Group in its next financial statements for the year ending 31 December 2026.

There are no new standards, interpretations and amendments which are not yet effective in these financial statements, expected to have a material effect on the Group’s future financial statements.

The condensed interim financial statements do not contain all of the information that is required to be disclosed in a full set of IFRS financial statements. The condensed interim financial statements for the six months ended 30 June 2026 and 30 June 2025 are unaudited and do not constitute the Group or Company's statutory financial statements for those periods.

The comparative financial information for the full year ended 31 December 2025 has, however, been derived from the audited statutory financial statements for Clean Power Hydrogen plc for that period. A copy of those statutory financial statements has been delivered to the Registrar of Companies. The auditor’s report on those accounts was unqualified and did not contain a statement under section 498(2)-(3) of the Companies Act 2006.

These policies have been applied consistently to all periods presented, unless otherwise stated.

The condensed interim financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention with the exception of the fair values applied in accounting for share based payments and investments. The condensed interim financial statements and the notes to the financial statements are presented in thousands of pounds sterling (‘£’000’), the presentation currency of the Group, except where otherwise indicated.

Going Concern

On 20 July 2026 the Group completed a fundraise with new and existing shareholders, receiving £7.3m gross proceeds (£6.5m net proceeds). The purpose of the fundraise was to provide 12 months working capital to enable the Group to implement the new strategy, transitioning into a technology development and licensing business.

In assessing the Group’s ability to operate as a going concern, the Board have prepared cash flow forecasts for the period to 31 December 2027 in relation to likely future cash flows for the foreseeable future. The forecast shows that the Group will be able to continue operating within the level of cash reserves for a period of 12 months from the date of approval of these condensed interim financial statements. The Board also reviewed the opportunities for additional funding, key potential risks associated with the forecast along with potential actions to mitigate the risks, as well as potential cost reductions.

After careful consideration, the Directors have concluded that it is appropriate to prepare the condensed consolidated financial statements on a going concern basis, and that the previous material uncertainty as previously disclosed in the Group’s 2025 Annual Report and Accounts no longer applies.

3 Segment reporting

IFRS 8 Operating Segments requires operating segments to be identified on the basis of internal reports that are regularly reviewed by the company’s chief operating decision maker. The chief operating decision maker is considered to be the executive Directors.

The Group at this stage comprises only one operating segment for the development and licencing of electrolyser technology for the production of clean hydrogen and oxygen. This is monitored by the chief operating decision maker and strategic decisions are made on the basis of adjusted segment operating results.

4 Onerous contract losses

Losses on onerous contracts are recognised where the expected costs to complete a sales contract exceeds the contracted sales value. During the period ended 30 June 2026 £705,425 of the brought forward provision for onerous contracts was utilised against the contract costs. As a result of the incident the onerous contract provision has increased by £1,114,088 and accordingly work in progress costs associated with the sales contract was written off by that amount. As at 30 June 2026 the remaining provision for onerous contracts was £300,000.

5 Taxation

Tax credits arise in respect of research and development expenditure with resulting losses surrendered for a tax refund. The credits relate to the claim submitted for the year ended 31 December 2025 and an estimate for the claim for the period ended 30 June 2026.

6 Earnings per share

There is no dilutive effect on a loss. There are potentially dilutive options in place over 23,594,155 ordinary shares at 30 June 2026.

7 Intangible fixed assets

The development costs relate to the direct expenditure incurred on the Group’s membrane free electrolysis technology.

8 Inventories

Work in progress represents the costs incurred in the production of machines for confirmed but not completed orders. There was £865,000 presented for work in progress at 31 December 2025, which was written off along with other WIP costs incurred up to and including 30 June 2026.

9 Trade and other receivables

There has been no significant revenue to 30 June 2026 and there have been no impairment charges nor expected credit loss provisions made, as the credit risk in respect of trade and other receivables is considered low. The Directors consider that the carrying amount of trade and other receivables approximates to their fair value.
