Axolot sold its second AxoPur® system in quarter two and signed two agreements on in-depth tests and studies with the purpose to provide a basis for the dimensioning of full-size commercial systems.

Summary of the second quarter 2021

Financially

  • Net sales amounted to 529 tSEK (1 019 tSEK for the corresponding quarter in 2020), which refers to trial runs and studies.
  • Other revenues were 60 tSEK (11), which relates to state subsidies and support.
  • Earnings before interest and tax became -4 954 tSEK (-5 309).
  • Net earnings per share amounted to -0,09 SEK (-0,20).
  • Liquid funds were 19 329 tSEK at the end of the second quarter 2021.

Operationally

  • Axolot sold an AxoPur water purification unit to a customer within the logistics sector in Finland. This will be the first AxoPur system to be used in a position where the purified water is recirculated. The order value is around 750 tSEK. The system will be delivered and started up during the autumn.
  • Two agreements were signed on in-depth tests and studies with the purpose to provide a basis for the engineering and design of full-size commercial purification systems. Both customers operate within the recycling industry. Two other trial agreements were also signed.
  • Axolot has together with Swedavia and Research Institute RISE been granted co-financing from the State Geotechnical Institute (SGI), in a study of cost-efficient purification of PFAS substances.

Quarter 1-2 2021

  • Net sales for the first half year 2021 were 1 012 tSEK (1 744 tSEK for the corresponding period in 2020), where the decrease is explained by reduced possibilites for customer activities as a consequence from the pandemic.
  • Other revenues were 250 tSEK (457) coming from state subsidies and support.
  • Earnings before interest and tax became -9 399 tSEK (-11 546). Lower net sales was compensated by less costs for mainly personnel and consultants.
