New minor risk - Share price stability The company's share price has been volatile over the past 3 months. It is more volatile than 75% of German stocks, typically moving 7.9% a week. This is considered a minor risk. Share price volatility indicates the stock is highly sensitive to market conditions or economic conditions rather than being sensitive to its own business performance, which may also be inconsistent. It also increases the risk of potential losses in the short term as the stock tends to have larger drops in price more frequently than other stocks. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Interest payments are not well covered by earnings (1.6x net interest cover). Minor Risks Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (7.9% average weekly change). Large one-off items impacting financial results.

Hyzon Motors Inc., Performance Food Group, Inc. and Chart Industries, Inc. Announces Successful Completion of Hyzon's First Commercial Run with A Liquid Hydrogen Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle (LH2 FCEV) Hyzon Motors Inc., Performance Food Group, Inc. and Chart Industries, Inc. announced successful completion of Hyzon's first commercial run with a liquid hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicle (LH2 FCEV). Starting in Temple, TX, the truck completed deliveries to eight PFG customers near Dallas, TX, travelling over 540 miles on a 16-hour continuous run including over 100-degree Fahrenheit temperatures. The run – further than the distance from Sacramento to San Diego – demonstrates the viability of on-board liquid hydrogen to fuel long-distance, zero-emission transport. Compared to gaseous hydrogen, the current industry standard, liquid hydrogen allows Hyzon to increase the amount of fuel on board significantly increased energy density, with no changes to vehicle weight or payload. To maintain the energy-dense liquid state, hydrogen requires cold temperatures of negative 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Hyzon partnered with Chart Industries to develop a tank system capable of storing liquid hydrogen at extremely cold temperatures and delivering it to the fuel cell system at the necessary pressure. Liquid hydrogen as a fuel source has been estimated to be up to $5 per kilogram less expensive all-in to dispense than high-pressure gaseous hydrogen1, which would provide meaningful benefits to fleet owners.

Chart Industries, Inc. and Crane Company Successfully Test New Liquid Hydrogen Valve Chart Industries, Inc. and Crane Company have successfully tested a new cryogenic valve designed and built by Crane for liquid hydrogen applications. This is the first valve launched from Crane's CRYOFLO(TM) line of bellow seal vacuum jacketed globe valves, designed and tested by Crane, with final validation, review, and testing conducted by Chart. Final testing was conducted at Chart's one-of-a-kind liquid hydrogen test facility in New Prague, MN, USA, leveraging Chart's 60 years of experience with hydrogen equipment and the facility's availability of the extremely cold cryogenic liquid for testing. Liquid hydrogen is over 100 degrees Fahrenheit colder than liquid nitrogen, and significantly colder than the temperature limit of most cryogenic valves. The testing confirms that Crane's CRYOFL O liquid hydrogen valve design can operate safely and reliably at extremely low temperatures, while supporting best-in-class high-flow rates at low-pressure drop as designed. Notably, CRYOFLO is the first valve Chart has successfully completed a liquid hydrogen endurance test in a high-cycle application. Testing included installing Crane's valve in a validation system provided by Chart that flowed liquid hydrogen through the valve at varying operating temperatures and pressures. The valve successfully endured well over 5,000 open/close cycles at a pressure of 150 psig/10 bar, and it required no adjustments or maintenance during the test. In addition, the Crane CRYOFLO has completed cryogenic certification and endurance testing per MSS-SP-134 standards and qualified the size range from 1/2 -2" at 300 psi working pressure. Chart is quickly developing new hydrogen equipment solutions and expanding production capacity for existing products to meet the needs of the growing hydrogen energy market. Cryogenic valves are an integral part of every one of these products, whether in Chart's hydrogen liquefaction equipment and cold boxes, transport trailers, storage tanks, fuel cell vehicle fuel stations, onboard fuel tanks, or any other end-use system. Valves must be resistant to leaks, reliable to operate, and minimize impact on process performance. Crane is successfully accelerating the development a full line of cryogenic valves and accessories to address critical market problems including leakage, heat dissipation, and reliability in the liquefaction, storage and transportation of hydrogen and other cryogenic gases. Crane is also investing in a new facility in Conroe, TX where it plans to build all of its Cryogenic and Hydrogen products while providing best-in-class customer service, quality and delivery. The qualification of the CRYOFLO bellow seal globe valves by Chart completes the technical approval of the product which is now in production and available to serve the hydrogen market globally.
