Hassen RACHEDI, founder and CEO of HRS, says:
"The hydrogen market is entering a new phase of maturity, marked by consolidation and a shift toward the most reliable and technologically advanced players. In this demanding context, HRS is confirming its strength and central role in the deployment of sustainable hydrogen mobility in Europe and beyond.
In 2024-2025, in a complex environment and with the accounting impact of orders not fulfilled by customers, we have managed to preserve what matters most: the trust of our partners, the proven performance of our stations, and solid commercial momentum, particularly internationally. Our industrial foundations, our capacity for innovation, and the reliability of our equipment are now recognized in several geographical areas.
We have secured ten new orders this year, including our first for our HRS160 station, which has a very high capacity (4 tons/day) and is intended to supply the largest hydrogen-powered public transport fleet in Europe. This project perfectly illustrates our ambition: to support the rise of intensive uses with robust, efficient solutions that are ready for industrial-scale deployment. To anticipate investment decisions and secure our order book, we have implemented a systematic process of signing letters of intent (LOIs) with our customers, ensuring visibility and long-term partnerships.
Although our customers' response times remain long, reflecting the still complex commitment cycles on certain projects, we are seeing a gradual structuring of the market. The first half of our fiscal year generally corresponds to the finalization of orders, although variations may occur depending on tenders and each customer's budget schedule. This trend enables us to optimize our industrial planning and strengthen our responsiveness.
The regulatory environment, in particular the AFIR regulation, which requires the installation of at least one 1-tonne/day station every 200 km on major European highways, is a structuring lever. It guarantees a steady and growing flow of demand, driven by both our long-standing customers and new players entering the hydrogen market.
We have also continued our international expansion with stations now operational in the United Kingdom, Spain, Portugal, and Saudi Arabia. This controlled internationalization strengthens our resilience and our European foothold, while opening up sustainable growth prospects.
Finally, with the Apollo plan launched in early 2025, HRS is adapting its organisation to market developments and new requirements. This plan aims to achieve a targeted reduction in fixed costs of 20 to 30%, the digitalisation of internal processes and greater commercial agility. It also includes work on improving product margins, which is essential for reaching our break-even point more quickly without compromising our industrial capacity or technical excellence.
Our direction is clear. HRS is ready to play a leading role in the emergence of a competitive hydrogen sector in Europe. Our new offerings – Export Trailer and Filling Center – are fully in line with this approach, providing concrete answers to the challenges of decarbonising heavy-duty mobility and industrial applications. The future of hydrogen is being built today, and HRS is ready to meet the challenge with the ambition of creating value for all."
ANNUAL SALES FOR 2024-2025
Gross sales1 for 2024-2025 stands at €26.0 million (€30.9 million in 2023-2024). Gross sales from hydrogen stations for the 2024-2025 financial year reached €24.2 million, made up of contributions to the advancement of stations brought into production during the financial year, new orders and maintenance contracts. It breaks down as follows:
Finally, sales from the "Industrial Piping" business reached €1.8 million.
As announced[4], HRS cancelled the sales recognized in its financial statements for the orders initially placed by Hype. As the stations involved in the dispute remained the property of HRS and were still on site, they were partly re-entered into inventory and partly reallocated to new orders recorded during the financial year.
Although this situation is challenging in the short term, it has enabled the company to reassess its commercial approach. In order to preserve its cash flow and optimise the use of its resources, HRS has decided to refocus its priorities on projects with a confirmed installation schedule and proven payment capacity. This selective approach makes it possible to limit purchases of components that are not necessary in the short term and to ensure rigorous management of working capital requirements.
As a result, IFRS sales amounted to €11.3 million, including:
HRS STRENGTHENS ITS EUROPEAN LEADERSHIP IN SUPPORT OF THE ENERGY TRANSITION
Installation and commissioning of 11 stations in France and abroad
During the 2024/2025 financial year, HRS commissioned 11 new stations in France and abroad, distributed as follows:
HRS had one of the largest installed bases in Europe as of June 30, 2025, with 29 high-capacity operational stations.
A steady increase in the number of stations installed year after year
The 2024–2025 financial year was a record year with 11 new installations, bringing the total number of stations to 29 as at 30 June 2025, an increase of +61.1% compared to 2023–2024. Since the 2021–2022 financial year, the total number of stations installed has increased nearly sixfold, from 5 to 29.
Fiscal year | Installed stations | Variation |
2021-2022 | 5 | - |
2022-2023 | 9 | +4 |
2023-2024 | 18 | +9 |
2024-2025 | 29 | +11 |
The steady increase in the number of stations installed from one financial year to the next reflects growing demand from major energy and industrial players for hydrogen distribution equipment and demonstrates the continued growth in the station installation capacity of the HRS teams.
Station availability above 95% and more than 166 tons of hydrogen distributed
HRS stations offer remarkable reliability, with availability exceeding 95%, including maintenance. This performance has enabled HRS stations to exceed 166 tons of hydrogen delivered in Europe and 191,000 vehicles refueled since 2022.
They are notable for their modularity, with capacities ranging from 200 kg/day to 4 tons/day and dual-pressure guns at 350 and 700 bar, allowing them to be adapted to all types of vehicles.
HRS is thus strengthening its position as a leading player in the technological mastery of these complex installations and consolidating its European leadership in hydrogen refueling, working alongside local authorities, businesses, and citizens to promote zero-emission mobility.
ONGOING INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT
HRS has continued to develop its business in France and abroad, focusing on regions that are pioneers in the development of hydrogen mobility and likely to provide growth opportunities for its commercial pipeline.
Order intake of €24.3 million for the 2024/2025 financial year
HRS has received orders for ten new stations, illustrating the confidence placed in it by strategic players:
First steps in the United States
HRS established its US subsidiary, HRS USA Inc, in the first half of the year. This initiative is supported by Bpifrance's International Project Guarantee and represents a step forward in HRS's global expansion strategy.
AN ENHANCED OFFERING TO ADDRESS COMPLEMENTARY MARKETS WITH STRONG POTENTIAL, PARTICULARLY IN THE INDUSTRIAL SECTOR
In the first half of 2024, HRS launched two new strategic products:
These innovations meet the growing needs of hydrogen mobility and industry, strengthening HRS's position as a key player in decarbonisation and innovation in the sector.
Industry represents a major growth driver for HRS. The projects identified for which HRS is already positioned through bids submitted to prospects in Europe and the Middle East account for 10% of the overall sales pipeline.
Finally, in the first quarter of 2025, as part of the RHeaDHy project developed by a European consortium, HRS also received the prototype parts that will make up the future station. As a reminder, this project aims to increase the hydrogen filling rate fivefold and enable H2 trucks to be refuelled in just 10 minutes.
OTHER HIGHLIGHTS OF THE 2024/2025 FINANCIAL YEAR
Partnership with Toyota Motor Europe and ENGIE to revolutionise hydrogen refuelling infrastructure
On 28 January 2025, HRS announced a partnership with Toyota Motor Europe and ENGIE to develop Twin Mid Flow (TMF) technology. This innovative dual-nozzle station enables fast refuelling of heavy-duty vehicles (in less than 10 minutes) and light-duty vehicles (in less than 5 minutes), while reducing installation costs. Compliant with European AFIR regulations, it can deliver up to 1 tonne of hydrogen per day at dual pressure (350 and 700 bar). The first tests will take place at the end of 2025 in Champagnier. This project, supported by the EU as part of RHeaDHy, strengthens HRS's position as a leader in high-performance, modular hydrogen infrastructure.
French government publishes new hydrogen strategy
The new National Hydrogen Strategy (SNH II) was presented in mid-April 2025 by the French government. It confirms France's ambition to become a European leader across the entire hydrogen value chain, focusing in particular on decarbonised heavy-duty transport as a lever for energy sovereignty.
The SNH II provides for the creation of hydrogen hubs and the deployment of around 100 high-capacity stations by 2030, in line with the European AFIR regulation.
Update on the pHYnix client
HRS announced on 11 March 2025 the latest developments regarding its customer pHYnix, which was placed in receivership on 6 March 2025. A judicial liquidation procedure was initiated on 26 June 2025 and is ongoing.
The stations concerned remain the sole property of HRS and are still at the production centre. HRS has already taken the necessary steps to mitigate the industrial and commercial consequences.
LAUNCH OF THE APOLLO PLAN TO ADAPT COSTS TO THE CONTEXT OF THE HYDROGEN MARKET
Against a backdrop of industry consolidation and longer decision-making processes, HRS has launched its strategic transformation plan, ‘Apollo,' with the aim of sustainably improving its operational efficiency. The project aims to achieve between 20% and 30% savings in costs while maintaining the agility and commitment of the teams. It also aims to increase product profitability and accelerate the Group's break-even point.
The first actions already taken have identified potential savings of between €3 million and €6 million through a targeted review of costs and internal processes.
Led by Fabrice Clémençon, recently appointed Chief Transformation Officer (CTO), Apollo is based on a structured and progressive approach designed to optimize resources without compromising agility, innovation or team commitment. The levers mobilized cover the entire value chain.
Apollo's ambition is clear: sustainably improve the Group's gross margin in order to make the business model more resilient and competitive.
Apollo is thus preparing HRS to absorb market peaks, support its international development and strengthen its operational excellence, industrial facilities and innovation capacity.
OUTLOOK FOR 2025-2026
As of 30 July 2025, the order book stands at €47.2 million, including €11.4 million to be recognised on hydrogen stations already in production, including the strategic order in Europe received in February 2025, but excluding all stations ordered by pHynix given the company's outlook.
Based on conservative forecasts, HRS is targeting IFRS sales of between €25 million and €35 million for the 2025-2026 financial year, including:
The EBITDA break-even point is in the middle of the range, benefiting from the effects of the Apollo plan.
Finally, HRS will be able to draw on its expertise, now recognised throughout Europe, to position itself on ambitious projects aimed at decarbonising mobility.
As of 30 June 2025, HRS had cash available 3 of €6.1 million, compared with €5.2 million as of 30 June 2024. This cash position takes into account the €3 million repayment made to Hype in accordance with the memorandum of understanding published on 11 June 2025. With the completion of its main industrial investments and in view of the revenue outlook for the 2025-2026 financial year, HRS believes it has the necessary resources to finance its activities over the next 12 months. This trajectory is supported in particular by the initial savings generated by the Apollo transformation plan, which aims to achieve a sustainable improvement in operational efficiency.
