Ceres Power Holdings PLC
Investor Relations

Ceres Power Holdings develops solid oxide fuel cell technology, a type of power system that turns fuel such as natural gas or hydrogen into electricity and heat. The company does not mainly sell finished power plants itself; instead, it sells access to its patented technology, engineering know-how, and license agreements that let industrial partners design and make fuel cell systems. Its main customers are large equipment makers and industrial companies that want efficient distributed power, backup power, or cleaner energy systems. Ceres earns money through upfront license fees, engineering and development work, and royalties or other payments tied to products its partners sell. In simple terms, it sits upstream in the value chain, supplying the core technology rather than running the end-user power plants. That business model is different from a traditional manufacturer because Ceres is built around intellectual property and partner relationships. It focuses on developing the fuel cell platform, proving it works, and helping partners commercialize it in their own markets. This can let the company reach multiple industries and regions without having to build all the factories and sales channels itself.

AI Summary
Q2 2025

Milestone Achievement: Ceres Power reached a major milestone with the start of mass production at its partner Doosan's factory in South Korea, marking the company's shift from R&D to commercialization.

Financials: Revenue for the first half of 2025 reached just over GBP 20 million, with strong gross margins and over GBP 100 million in cash preserved, leading to positive cash flow in the period.

Guidance Update: Full-year 2025 revenue is now expected to be at least GBP 32 million, with any new license agreements representing upside.

Cost Base Reduction: The company completed a restructuring, achieving a 17% cost reduction, and is launching a transformation program targeting a further 20% operating expense reduction.

Market Focus: Near-term commercial focus is on power markets, specifically for data centers and grid reinforcement, with solid oxide fuel cells seen as a key solution for urgent power needs.

Hydrogen Progress: Continued advancements in electrolysis, including high-efficiency milestones with Shell and new partnerships in Japan and India, though the hydrogen market is seen as a longer-term opportunity.

Licensing & Royalties: The business model relies on licensing and royalty streams, with royalties from Doosan sales expected to begin flowing and grow as more sales occur.

Geographical Expansion: Partnerships are scaling in Asia (Taiwan, China, India, Japan) with eyes on the U.S. power market, especially as policy support grows.
