Fluence Achieves Financial Close for Ivory Coast Project

Melbourne, New York 8 January 2020

Fluence Corporation Limited (ASX: FLC) is pleased to announce that Financial Close on the €165 million (US$182 million) Ivory Coast water treatment plant (Project) has been achieved with the execution of the financing agreement by the Ministry of Finance of Ivory Coast (the Customer) and the Israeli Discount Bank (IDB). IDB was supported with export credit insurance from the Israeli Export Credit Agency ASHRA.

Following Financial Close, and upon meeting any outstanding conditions precedent, Fluence will start construction to fully erect and commission the 150,000 m3/day surface?water treatment plant over the next 24 months.

Having achieved Financial Close on the Project, Fluence Managing Director & CEO Henry Charrabé said: “We are very pleased to have reached this immensely important milestone for Fluence. The continued focus and cooperation with the teams from the Ministry of Finance and Ministry of Hydraulique in Ivory Coast, as well as with ASHRA and IDB, have allowed us to meet this objective. With planning work on the Project now largely completed, we can fully focus on moving towards construction commencement of this important turnkey water treatment plant.”

Achievement of Financial Close allows Fluence to immediately recognize no less than US$20 million (€18 million) of revenue for work that has already largely been completed. The delay in signing of the financing agreements may result in a short?term deferral of revenue that was expected to be recognized in 2019. However, there is a possibility that such revenue may still be able to be recognized, which would support Fluence’s ability to achieve an EBITDA positive quarter in Q4 2019.

Melbourne, New York 24 September 2019

Fluence Corporation Limited(ASX: FLC) has signed an Investment Cooperation Agreement (the “Agreement”) with The People’s Government of Xinglongtai District (a  district under the administration of the City of Panjin ) and Liaoning Huahong New Energy Co., Ltd. (“Liaoning Huahong”) for:

• and a volume commitment by Liaoning Huahong to purchase Aspiral TM and SUBRE  products with a capacity of 52,500 m 3 /day through the end of 2021 and minimum revenue targets for 2019 and 2020

The Agreement will make Fluence the preferred supplier for wastewater treatment equipment for Liaoning Huahong.

The manufacturing of Fluence’s proprietary MABR modules will continue exclusively in Fluence’s wholly owned factory in Changzhou, Jiangsu Province.

Liaoning Huahong expects to deploy Fluence’s MABR products to meet the growing wastewater treatment needs of Panjin City, Liaoning and surrounding provinces .

Fluence Receives Emergency Order for Five NIROBOX TM in the Middle East

Melbourne, New York 23 September 2019

Fluence Corporation Limited(ASX: FLC) is pleased to announce that it has received an order for five (5) NIROBOX TM from a customer in the Middle East for an emergency application for drinking water.  These units will be used for seawater desalination in a region with limited access to fresh, potable water.  The units are expected to ship within two weeks and be recognized as revenue in Q4 2019.

Commenting on this award, Fluence Managing Director & CEO Henry Charrabé said: “This win further validates our view that decentralized pre-engineered Smart Product Solutions are the future of the water treatment industry.  The ability to rapidly build, ship, and install these units, which will provide 5,000 m3per day of drinking water,was a key differentiating factor in Fluence’s value proposition to the customer, as  competitive  centralized  solutions would  require  significantly  longer lead  time to deliver drinking water.  This is another indicator that Fluence is increasingly recognized as a leader in the fast-to-deploy, standardized, decentralized water and wastewater treatment solutions segment around the globe. The Middle East is a key target market for our NIROBOX TM product and we are placing greater emphasis on growing orders in this region.”
