Paris, November 9, 2023 – 7:30 am CET – Forsee Power (FR0014005SB3 – FORSEE – the “Company“), expert in smart battery systems for sustainable electromobility, announces its sales for the third quarter of 2023.

Christophe Gurtner, Founder & CEO of Forsee Power states: “Quarter after quarter, we are reporting sustained sales momentum, illustrating our ability to turn our order backlog into sales. Over the past quarter, our growth has been driven by our Heavy Vehicles business, where demand keeps on growing, benefiting from a regulatory framework promoting the adoption of zero-emission public transport worldwide. Over the past few months, we have also signed new partnerships with leading players across all geographies. In the last quarter of 2023, we will continue to roll out our strategic plan, with priority given to the development of our U.S. industrial site, which will be operational in 2024. We will also keep filling our order book with new contracts in our priority markets. Last but not least, our R&D and Marketing teams will continue to expand our product and service offering to enhance our technological leadership. On the strength of this momentum, we confirm all our short- and medium- term financial targets.”

¹ The Group considers Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, to be a performance measure. It corresponds to operating income before amortization and impairment of intangible assets, amortization of rights of use on property, plant and equipment, depreciation and amortization of property, plant and equipment and net impairment of assets. It is also restated for share-based compensation expenses. The Group considers that these expenses do not reflect its current operating performance, in particular for equity-settled compensation plans, as they do not have a direct impact on cash.
