CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements, which reflect our current views with respect to, among other things, our operations and financial performance. All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including statements regarding our future results of operations and financial position, business strategy and plans and our objectives for future operations, are forward-looking statements. The words “believe,” “may,” “will,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “expect,” “should,” “could,” “target,” “predict,” “seek” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that we believe may affect our financial condition, results of operations, business strategy, short- and long-term business operations and objectives, and financial needs. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including those referenced in the section titled “Risk Factors” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K (“2021 Annual Report”) which could cause actual results to differ materially. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment and new risks emerge from time to time. It is not possible for our management to predict all risks, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in or implied by any forward-looking statements we may make. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the forward-looking events and circumstances discussed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may not occur and actual results could differ materially and adversely from those anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements.

Some of the key factors that could cause actual results to differ from our expectations include:

•	our ability to maintain the listing of our shares of common stock and warrants on Nasdaq;

•	our ability to raise financing in the future;

•	our success in retaining or recruiting officers, key employees or directors;

•	factors relating to our business, operations and financial performance, including:

o	our ability to control the costs associated with our operations;

o	our ability to grow and manage growth profitably;

o	our reliance on complex machinery for our operations and production;

o	the market’s willingness to adopt our technology;

o	our ability to maintain relationships with customers;

o	the potential impact of product recalls;

o	our ability to compete within our industry;

o	increases in costs, disruption of supply or shortage of raw materials;

risks associated with strategic alliances or acquisitions, including the acquisition of SerEnergy A/S, a Danish stock corporation (“SerEnergy”) and fischer eco solutions GmbH, a German limited liability company (“FES”), former wholly-owned subsidiaries of F.E.R. fischer Edelstahlrohre GmbH, completed on August 31, 2021;

o	the impact of unfavorable changes in U.S. and international regulations;

o	the availability of and our ability to meet the terms and conditions for government grants and economic incentives; and

o	our ability to protect our intellectual property rights;

•	market conditions and global and economic factors beyond our control, including the potential adverse effects of the ongoing global coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic on capital markets, general economic conditions, unemployment and our liquidity, operations and personnel;

•	volatility of our stock price and potential share dilution;

•	future exchange and interest rates; and

•	other factors detailed within the 2021 Annual Report under the section entitled “Risk Factors.”

We cannot guarantee that the future results, levels of activity, performance or events and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements will be achieved or occur. Moreover, neither we nor any other person assumes responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of the forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements for any reason after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to conform these statements to actual results or reflect interim developments.

As a result of a number of known and unknown risks and uncertainties, our actual results or performance may be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. For a discussion of the risks involved in our business and investing in our common stock, see the section entitled “Risk Factors” within the 2021 Annual Report.

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three-month period ended March 31, 2022.

We were originally incorporated in Delaware on June 18, 2018 under the name “AMCI Acquisition Corp.” as a special purpose acquisition company formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or other similar business combination with one or more target businesses. On November 20, 2018, we consummated our initial public offering (the “Initial Public Offering”), following which our shares began trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”).

On February 4, 2021, we consummated the business combination (the “Business Combination”) pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated October 12, 2020, by and among AMCI Acquisition Corp. (the “AMCI”), AMCI Merger Sub Corp., a Delaware corporation and newly formed wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), AMCI Sponsor LLC (the “Sponsor”), solely in the capacity as the representative from and after the effective time of the Business Combination (as defined below) (the “Effective Time”) for the stockholders of AMCI (other than the Legacy Advent stockholders) (the “Purchaser Representative”), Advent Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Legacy Advent”), and Vassilios Gregoriou, solely in his capacity as the representative from and after the Effective Time for the Advent stockholders (the “Seller Representative”), as amended by Amendment No. 1 and Amendment No. 2 to the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Amendments” and as amended, the “Merger Agreement”), dated as of October 19, 2020 and December 31, 2020, respectively, by and among AMCI, Merger Sub, Sponsor, Legacy Advent, and Seller Representative. In connection with the closing of the Business Combination (the “Closing”), we acquired 100% of the stock of Legacy Advent (as it existed immediately prior to the Closing) and its subsidiaries, changed our name from “AMCI Acquisition Corp.” to “Advent Technologies Holdings, Inc.” and changed the trading symbols of our common stock and warrants on Nasdaq from “AMCI” and “AMCIW” to “ADN” and “ADNWW,” respectively.

For accounting purposes, the Business Combination is treated as a reverse acquisition and recapitalization, in which Advent is considered the accounting acquirer (and legal acquiree) and the Company is considered the accounting acquiree (and legal acquirer). Additionally, unless otherwise stated or the context indicates otherwise, with respect to the financial information contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including in “Part I, Item 1. Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” and the notes thereto and in “Part I, Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” the financial information relating to the three months ended March 31, 2021, are those of Legacy Advent and its subsidiaries for the period prior to the Closing and the financial information of the Company and its subsidiaries for the period subsequent to the Closing; the financial information relating to the three months ended March 31, 2022, are those of the Company and its subsidiaries. See Note 1 “Basis of Presentation” in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information.

Unless the context indicates otherwise, the terms “Advent,” the “Company,” we,” “us” and “our” refer to Advent Technologies Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries taken as a whole.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.	Basis of presentation

Overview

On February 4, 2021 (“Closing Date”), AMCI Acquisition Corp. (“AMCI”), consummated the previously announced business combination (the “Business Combination”) pursuant to that certain merger agreement (the “Agreement and Plan of Merger”), dated October 12, 2020, by and among AMCI, AMCI Merger Sub Corp., a Delaware corporation and newly formed wholly-owned subsidiary of AMCI (“Merger Sub”), AMCI Sponsor LLC (the “Sponsor”), solely in the capacity as the representative from and after the effective time of the Business Combination for the stockholders of AMCI (the “Purchaser Representative”), Advent Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Legacy Advent”), and Vassilios Gregoriou, solely in his capacity as the representative from and after the effective time for the Legacy Advent stockholders (the “Seller Representative”), as amended by Amendment No. 1 and Amendment No. 2 to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of October 19, 2020 and December 31, 2020, respectively, by and among AMCI, Merger Sub, Sponsor, Legacy Advent, and Seller Representative. In connection with the closing of the Business Combination (the “Closing”), AMCI acquired 100% of the stock of Legacy Advent (as it existed immediately prior to the Closing) and its subsidiaries.

On the Closing Date, and in connection with the closing of the Business Combination, AMCI changed its name to Advent Technologies Holdings, Inc. (the "Company" or "Advent"). Legacy Advent was deemed the accounting acquirer in the Business Combination based on an analysis of the criteria outlined in Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 805. This determination was primarily based on Legacy Advent's stockholders prior to the Business Combination having a majority of the voting interests in the combined company, Legacy Advent's operations comprising the ongoing operations of the combined company, Legacy Advent's board of directors comprising a majority of the board of directors of the combined company, and Legacy Advent's senior management comprising the senior management of the combined company. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Business Combination was treated as the equivalent of Legacy Advent issuing stock for the net assets of AMCI, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of AMCI are stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded.

While AMCI was the legal acquirer in the Business Combination, because Legacy Advent was deemed the accounting acquirer, the historical financial statements of Legacy Advent became the historical financial statements of the combined company, upon the consummation of the Business Combination. As a result, the consolidated financial statements included in this report reflect (i) the historical operating results of Legacy Advent prior to the Business Combination; (ii) the results of the Company (combined results of AMCI and Legacy Advent) following the closing of the Business Combination; (iii) the assets and liabilities of Legacy Advent at their historical cost; and (iv) Company’s equity structure for all periods presented.

In accordance with guidance applicable to these circumstances, the equity structure has been restated in all comparative periods up to the Closing Date, to reflect the number of shares of the Company's common stock, $0.0001 par value per share, issued to Legacy Advent's stockholders in connection with the recapitalization transaction. As such, the shares and corresponding capital amounts and earnings per share related to Legacy Advent Preferred Stock (“Preferred Series A” and “Preferred Series Seed”) and Legacy Advent common stock prior to the Business Combination have been retroactively restated as shares reflecting the exchange ratio established in the Business Combination Agreement. Activity within the statement of changes in stockholders' equity / (deficit) for the issuances of Legacy Advent's Preferred Stock, were also retroactively converted to Legacy Advent common stock (Note 3).

On February 18, 2021, Advent Technologies, Inc. entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement with Bren-Tronics, Inc. (“Seller”) and UltraCell, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Seller (“UltraCell”) (the “UltraCell Purchase Agreement”). See Note 3 “Business Combination” for additional information.

UltraCell LLC was renamed to Advent Technologies LLC following its acquisition by the Company.

Table of Contents

On June 25, 2021, the Company entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), with F.E.R. fischer Edelstahlrohre GmbH, a limited liability company incorporated under the Laws of Germany (the “Seller”) to acquire (the “Acquisition”) all of the issued and outstanding equity interests in SerEnergy A/S, a Danish stock corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Seller (“SerEnergy”) and fischer eco solutions GmbH, a German limited liability company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Seller (“FES”) together with certain outstanding shareholder loan receivables. See Note 3 “Business Combination” for additional information.

SerEnergy A/S and FES were renamed to Advent Technologies A/S and Advent Technologies GmbH, respectively, following their acquisition by the Company.

Advent develops, manufactures and assembles the critical components that determine the performance of hydrogen fuel cells and other energy systems.

Going Concern

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by management, assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern and accordingly, these financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result in the event the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

The management of the Company assesses the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern at each period end. The assessment evaluates whether there are conditions that give rise to substantial doubt to continue as a going concern within one year from the consolidated financial statements issuance date, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The management examines closely its operating results and its cash position and makes adjustments to its cash flow forecasts where necessary.

Beginning in March 2020, the coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic and the measures imposed to contain this pandemic have affected business and economic activity around the world. Since the COVID-19 outbreak, the Company has been closely monitoring and adopting all necessary measures to protect its employees and partners and to minimize as much as possible the business disruption caused by the pandemic. During 2021 and 2022, as a result of the mass vaccination schemes initiated around the world, the restrictive measures imposed by the governments began to be gradually lifted and the worldwide restrictions to mobility were relaxed, leading to increased economic activity and improved global macro-economic indicators.

Management is closely monitoring the developments around COVID‐19 and is constantly assessing its implications on the Company’s productivity, results of operations and financial position. At this stage, the Company maintains a strong financial position with its cash and cash equivalents amounting to $59.3 million. Additionally, as of March 31, 2022, the Company reported a positive working capital of $68.2 million.

As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Company’s existing cash resources are sufficient to support planned operations for the next 12 months. As a result, management believes that the Company's existing financial resources are sufficient to continue operating activities for at least one year past the issuance date of the consolidated financial statements.

2.	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

There have been no significant changes from the significant accounting policies disclosed in Note 2 of the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” included in the Annual Report Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 31, 2022. The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart our Business Startups Act of 2012, (the “JOBS Act”). As an emerging growth company (“EGC”), the JOBS Act allows the Company to delay adoption of new or revised accounting pronouncements applicable to public companies until such pronouncements are applicable to private companies. The Company elected to use this extended transition period under the JOBS Act until such time the Company is no longer considered to be an EGC. The Company did not apply any new accounting policies during the three-month period ended March 31, 2022 other than those noted within Recent Accounting Pronouncements (included in Note 2).

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. On an on-going basis, management evaluates the estimates and judgments, including those related to the selection of useful lives for tangible assets, expected future cash flows from long-lived assets to support impairment tests, the carrying value of goodwill, provisions necessary for accounts receivables and inventory write downs, provisions for legal disputes, and contingencies. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from those estimates under different assumptions and/or conditions.

Fair Value Measurements

The Company follows the accounting guidance in ASC 820 for its fair value measurements of financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value is defined as an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability.

The accounting guidance requires fair value measurements be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:

•

Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

•

Level 2: Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, for similar assets or liabilities that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.

•

Level 3: Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity and that are financial instruments whose values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant judgment or estimation.

The fair value hierarchy also requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Warrant Liability

As a result of the Business Combination, the Company assumed a warrant liability (the "Warrant Liability") related to previously issued 3,940,278 warrants, each exercisable to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share, originally sold to AMCI Sponsor LLC (the “Sponsor”) in a private placement consummated in connection with AMCI’s initial public offering (the “Private Placement Warrants”) and the 400,000 warrants, each exercisable to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share, converted from the Sponsor’s non-interest bearing loan to the Company of $400,000 in connection with the closing of the Business Combination (the “Working Capital Warrants”) (Note 13). The Private Placement Warrants and the Working Capital Warrants have substantially the same terms as the 22,029,279 warrants, each exercisable to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share, issued by AMCI in its initial public offering (the “Public Warrants”).

The following tables summarize the fair value of the Company’s liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

	As of March 31, 2022 (unaudited)
(Amounts in thousands)	Fair Value		Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)

Liabilities
Warrant liability	$	10,373	$	10,373
	$	10,373	$	10,373

As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company did not hold any assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

The carrying amounts of the Company's remaining financial instruments reflected on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets and which consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivables, net, other current assets, trade and other payables, and other current liabilities, approximate their respective fair values due to their short-term nature.

Changes in the fair value of Level 3 liabilities for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 were as follows:

Warrant Liability
(Amounts in thousands)	For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2022 (unaudited)			For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2021 (unaudited)
Estimated fair value (beginning of period)	$	10,373		$	-
Estimated fair value of warrant issuance		-			33,116
Change in estimated fair value		(8,376	)		(9,766	)
Estimated fair value (end of period)	$	1,997		$	23,350

The Warrant Liability is remeasured to its fair value at each reporting period and upon settlement. The change in fair value is recognized in “Fair value change of warrant liability” on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The estimated fair value of the Private Placement Warrants and the Working Capital Warrants (each as defined below) is determined using Level 3 inputs by using the Black-Scholes model. The application of the Black-Scholes model requires the use of a number of inputs and significant assumptions including volatility. Significant judgment is required in determining the expected volatility of our common stock. Due to the limited history of trading of our common stock, we determined expected volatility based on a peer group of publicly traded companies.

The following table provides quantitative information regarding Level 3 fair value measurement inputs as of their measurement date March 31, 2022:

Stock price	$	2.32
Exercise price (strike price)	$	11.50
Risk-free interest rate		2.41	%
Volatility		73.70	%
Remaining term (in years)		3.84

The Company performs routine procedures such as comparing prices obtained from independent source to ensure that appropriate fair values are recorded.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recently issued accounting pronouncements adopted during the year:

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. In July 2018, ASU 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases, was issued to provide more detailed guidance and additional clarification for implementing ASU 2016-02. Furthermore, in July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements, which provides an optional transition method in addition to the existing modified retrospective transition method by allowing a cumulative effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. Additionally, ASU 2019-01, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases and ASU 2020-02, Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 119 and Update to SEC Section on Effective Date Related to Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), provided additional clarifications for implementing ASU 2016.02. The new lease standard was originally effective for private entities on January 1, 2021, with early adoption permitted. Following the issuance of ASU 2020-05, Effective Dates for Certain Entities (Topic 842), the effective date of Leases was deferred for private entities (the “all other” category) to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. Early application continues to be permitted which means that an entity may choose to implement Leases before those deferred effective dates.

The Company has elected to defer the presentation of the adoption in accordance with the guidance for private entities. When the Company presents the adoption of the new lease standard it will be using the modified retrospective method and will present the adoption as of January 1, 2022. The Company expects this standard will have a material effect on its consolidated balance sheets with the recognition of new right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for all operating leases longer than one year in duration. Upon adoption, the Company estimates both assets and liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet will increase by approximately $15.8 million. The Company does not expect the adoption to have a significant impact upon its consolidated statements of operations and cash flows. Changes in lease population or changes in incremental borrowing rates may alter this estimate. The Company will expand the consolidated financial statement disclosures upon adoption of this standard.

In November 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-10 “Government Assistance (Topic 832): Disclosures by Business Entities about Government Assistance.” This ASU will improve the transparency of government assistance received by most business entities by requiring the disclosure of: (1) the types of government assistance received; (2) the accounting for such assistance; and, (3) the effect of the assistance on a business entity’s financial statements. ASU 2021-10 is effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2021, with early application permitted. This ASU is applicable to the Company's fiscal year 2022 Form 10-K. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this update on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet adopted:

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses of Financial Instruments, which, amends the requirement on the measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held. Furthermore, amendments, ASU 2019-10 and ASU 2019-11 provided additional clarification for implementing ASU 2016-13. ASU 2016-13 is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2023, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the effect of this guidance on the consolidated financial statements.

3.	Business Combination

(a)	AMCI Acquisition Corp.

As detailed in Note 1 on February 4, 2021, the Company and AMCI consummated the Business Combination pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement, with Legacy Advent surviving the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of AMCI. Immediately prior to the closing of the Business Combination, all shares of outstanding preferred stock Series A and preferred stock Series Seed of Legacy Advent were automatically converted into shares of the Legacy Advent's common stock. Upon the consummation of the Business Combination, each share of Legacy Advent common stock issued and outstanding was canceled and converted into the right to receive the amount of shares as determined based on the merger consideration of $250 million minus the estimated consolidated indebtedness of Legacy Advent and its subsidiaries as of the consummation of the Business Combination, net of their estimated consolidated cash and cash equivalents (“Closing Net Indebtedness”) divided by $10.00. The Closing Net Indebtedness was based solely on estimates determined shortly prior to the closing and was not subject to any post-closing true-up or adjustment.

Table of Contents

Upon the closing of the Business Combination, AMCI's certificate of incorporation was amended and restated to, among other things, authorize the issuance of 111,000,000 shares, of which 110,000,000 shares are shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share and 1,000,000 shares are shares of undesignated preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share.

In connection with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, AMCI entered into separate subscription agreements (each, a "Subscription Agreement") with a number of investors (each a "Subscriber"), pursuant to which the Subscribers agreed to purchase, and AMCI agreed to sell to the Subscribers, an aggregate of 6,500,000 shares of common stock (the "PIPE Shares"), for a purchase price of $10.00 per share and an aggregate purchase price of $65.0 million, in a private placement pursuant to the subscription agreements (the "PIPE"). The PIPE investment closed simultaneously with the consummation of the Business Combination.

The Business Combination is accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with GAAP. Under this method of accounting, AMCI was treated as the "acquired" company for financial reporting purposes. See Note 1 "Basis of Presentation" in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for further details. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Business Combination was treated as the equivalent of Legacy Advent issuing stock for the net assets of AMCI, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of AMCI are stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded.

The following table reconciles the elements of the Business Combination to the consolidated statement of cash flows and the consolidated statement of changes in equity for the three months ended March 31, 2021:

(Amounts in thousands)	Recapitalization
Cash- AMCI’s trust and cash (net of redemptions)	$	93,311
Cash – PIPE plus interest		65,000
Less transaction costs and advisory fees paid		(17,620	)
Less non-cash warrant liability assumed		(33,116	)
Net Business Combination and PIPE financing	$	107,575

The number of shares of common stock issued immediately following the consummation of the Business Combination:

	Recapitalization
Class A Common Stock of AMCI, outstanding prior to Business Combination		9,061,136
Less Redemption of AMCI shares		(1,606	)
Class B Common Stock of AMCI, outstanding prior to Business Combination		5,513,019
Shares issued in PIPE		6,500,000
Business Combination and PIPE financing shares		21,072,549
Legacy Advent Shares		25,033,398
Total shares of Common Stock immediately after Business Combination		46,105,947

(b)	UltraCell, LLC

On February 18, 2021 (the “acquisition date”), pursuant to the terms and conditions of the UltraCell Purchase Agreement, the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding membership units of UltraCell from Bren-Tronics, Inc. The results of UltraCell’s operations have been included in the consolidated financial statements since the acquisition date.

Table of Contents

The Company has assessed provisions in ASC 805 and concluded that the UltraCell acquisition should be accounted as an acquisition of a business. The Company evaluated whether substantially all the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets and concluded that it is not. Since the “substantially all” threshold is not met, the Company further assessed whether the set acquired includes an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs. Following its assessment, the Company concluded that the minimum requirements to define UltraCell as a business are met.

UltraCell is an entity specialized in lightweight fuel cells for the portable power market with mature products and cutting-edge technology.

The acquisition consideration transferred totaled $6.0 million, of which $4.0 million was cash and $2.0 million was the fair value of the contingent consideration. The contingent consideration arrangement required the Company to pay $2.0 million of additional cash to UltraCell’s former holders of membership interests, if UltraCell entered into certain customer arrangements for sales of products prior to June 30, 2021. On April 16, 2021, Advent paid the additional consideration based on UltraCell achieving completion of the terms of the contingent consideration.

Assets and liabilities at acquisition

The assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition were as follows (amounts in thousands):

Current assets
Cash and cash equivalents	$	78
Other current assets		658
Total current assets	$	736
Non-current assets		9
Total assets	$	745

Current liabilities		110
Non-current liabilities		-
Total liabilities	$	110

Net assets acquired	$	635

Fair value adjustment - New intangibles
Trade name "UltraCell"		406
Patented technology		4,328
Total intangibles acquired	$	4,734
Remaining Goodwill	$	631

The fair value of the assets acquired, and liabilities assumed was based on a Purchase Price Allocation of UltraCell LLC conducted by an independent third party. The intangible assets recognized are the Trade Name “UltraCell” and the Patented Technology. The fair value measurement of the intangible assets has been performed by applying a combination of market, cost and income approach methods. The Trade Name was valued with the Relief-from-royalty method, which combines market & income approaches. The royalty rate used for the valuation of the Trade Name was 1.3%, which was determined from the market using databases from completed transactions at a global level while the discount rate used was 12.6%. The Patented Technology was valued with the multi period excess earnings method, which is an income approach. The discount rate used for the valuation of the Patented Technology was 11.6%. The Trade Name has an indefinite useful life while the Patented Technology has a useful life of 10 years.

Table of Contents

Included in goodwill is the value of assembled workforce, which under FASB ASC topic 805, does not meet either the contractual-legal or the separability criterion in order to be separately valued as an intangible asset. As part of the acquisition, the Company acquired fully trained personnel thereby avoiding the expenditure that would have been required to hire and train equivalent personnel. Therefore, the assemblage cost avoided method was considered the most appropriate method for the valuation of the assembled workforce. The assembled workforce was valued at $0.19 million and has been included in goodwill.

Goodwill is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

(c)	Acquisition of SerEnergy and FES

Effective on August 31, 2021, pursuant to the previously announced Share Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), dated as of June 25, 2021, by and between the Company and F.E.R. fischer Edelstahlrohre GmbH, a limited liability company incorporated under the Laws of Germany (the “Seller”), the Company acquired (the “Acquisition”) all of the issued and outstanding equity interests in SerEnergy A/S, a Danish stock corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Seller (“SerEnergy”) and fischer eco solutions GmbH, a German limited liability company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Seller (“FES”) together with certain outstanding shareholder loan receivables. The shareholder loans became intercompany at closing and were eliminated in consolidation.

The Company has assessed provisions in ASC 805 and concluded that the SerEnergy and FES acquisition should be accounted as an acquisition of a business. The Company evaluated whether substantially all the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets and concluded that it is not. Since the “substantially all” threshold is not met, the Company further assessed whether the set acquired includes an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs. Following its assessment, the Company concluded that the minimum requirements to define SerEnergy and FES as a business are met.

The results of the SerEnergy’s and FES’s operations have been included in the consolidated financial statements since the acquisition date.

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company acquired SerEnergy and FES, the fuel cell systems business of fischer Group. SerEnergy is a leading manufacturer of high-temperature polymer electrolyte membrane HT-PEM fuel cells and operates facilities in Aalborg, Denmark and in Manila, Philippines. FES operates in Achern, Germany and provides fuel-cell stack assembly and testing as well as the production of critical fuel cell components, including membrane electrode assemblies, bipolar plates and reformers.

As consideration for the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, the Company paid to the Seller $17.9 million (€15 million) in cash and on August 31, 2021, the Company issued to the Seller 5,124,846 shares of Common Stock of the Company (the “Share Consideration”). The Share Consideration was capped to shares representing 9.999% of the Company’s Common Stock outstanding as of the completion (taking into account the common stock issued as Share Consideration, the “Cap”). An additional amount of $4.4 million, representing cash on the balance sheet of the acquired businesses at closing, will be paid to F.E.R. fischer Edelstahlrohre GmbH to complete the acquisition of SerEnergy and FES and is included in “Other current liabilities” (Note 12).

Remaining Goodwill	$	29,399

The fair value of the assets acquired, and liabilities assumed was based on a Purchase Price Allocation of SerEnergy and FES conducted by an independent third party.

The acquired businesses specialize in the manufacturing of hydrogen fuel cell systems and align with Advent’s ability to provide clean power in the stationary, remote, portable and off-grid markets under the “Any Fuel. Anywhere.” value proposition. The Company’s ability to deliver hydrogen through liquid fuels allows it to have immediate market opportunity today, without having to wait for the global hydrogen infrastructure to develop. The acquisitions also accelerate the Company’s strategy to cover the full vertical supply chain with its products and puts the Company in a competitive position to deliver reliable, efficient and cost-effective fuel cell systems with a new product portfolio of the latest high temperature-PEM fuel cells covering a range of 25W to 90kW systems. The acquisitions also make Advent a leading manufacturer of high temperature fuel cells across Europe and Asia. Expanding the business in Europe and Asia is a strategic move and allows the Company to have well-placed production capabilities and market penetration.

Table of Contents

Included in goodwill is the value of assembled workforce, which under FASB ASC topic 805, does not meet either the contractual-legal or the separability criterion in order to be separately valued as an intangible asset. As part of the acquisition, the Company acquired fully trained personnel thereby avoiding the expenditure that would have been required to hire and train equivalent personnel. The assembled workforce included in goodwill was valued at $2.4 million applying the cost approach.

Goodwill is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

Intangible assets

The intangible assets recognized on the acquisition of SerEnergy and FES are as follows:

Patents

Two groups of patents are assumed to be the most significant drivers of future cash flows. The patents relate to improvements in gaskets, bipolar plates and cooling plates for fuel cells. The fair value of patents was determined by applying the multi-period excess earnings method which is an income approach. The discount rate used for the valuation of patents was 7.2%. Patents are amortized over 10 years since management assumes, that these groups of patents will continue to drive cash flows for 10 years, after which new patents will be of more relevance.

Process know-how (IPR&D)

SerEnergy and FES are currently developing cost reduction initiatives (unpatented know-how) related to membrane electrode assembly, bipolar plates, gaskets, burner/reformer and electronics. This IPR&D is evaluated as a significant asset for the business as it will allow significant cost reduction leading to higher profits in the future. These cost reductions are expected to be introduced beginning in 2022. The multi-period excess earnings method was applied to calculate the fair value of this asset. The discount rate used for the valuation of IPR&D was 10.1%. IPR&D is amortized over its useful life of 6 years, being the average timespan of a generation of fuel cell modules.

Order backlogs

Order backlogs recognized are in respect of two main customers of SerEnergy. The assessment of this asset was based on the total amount of order backlog attributable to these customers. The fair value was determined applying the income approach. Resulting cash flows after tax were discounted to present value by a minimal discount rate as the backlog’s timespan is less than a year.

13.	Private Placement Warrants and Working Capital Warrants

In connection with the Business Combination, the Company assumed 3,940,278 Private Placement Warrants issued upon AMCI’s initial public offering. In addition, upon the closing of the Business Combination, the working capital loan provided by AMCI’s Sponsor to AMCI was converted into 400,000 Working Capital Warrants, which were also assumed. The terms of the Working Capital Warrants are the same as those of the Private Placement Warrants.

As of December 31, 2021, the Company had 4,340,278 Private Placement Warrants and Working Capital Warrants outstanding. Each Private Placement Warrant and Working Capital Warrant entitles the registered holder to purchase one share of Common Stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment, at any time commencing 30 days after the completion of the Business Combination. The Public Warrants expire five years after the closing of the Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

The Private Placement Warrants and Working Capital Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants, except that the Private Placement Warrants and Working Capital Warrants and the common stock issuable upon the exercise of those warrants were not transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination, subject to certain limited exceptions. Additionally, the Private Placement Warrants and Working Capital Warrants are exercisable on a cashless basis and be non-redeemable so long as they are held by the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees. If those warrants are held by someone other than the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees, they will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by such holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants. As of March 31, 2022, the Private Placement Warrants and Working Capital Warrants are held by its initial purchasers.

Table of Contents

According to the provisions of the Private Placement Warrants and Working Capital Warrants warrant agreements, the exercise price and number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of those warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a stock dividend, or recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. Private Placement Warrants and Working Capital Warrants are classified as liabilities in accordance with the Company’s evaluation of the provisions of ASC 815- 40-15, which provides that a warrant is not indexed to the issuer’s common stock if the terms of the warrant require an adjustment to the exercise price upon a specified event and that event is not an input to the fair value of the warrant with a fixed exercise price and fixed number of underlying shares.

14.	Other long-term liabilities

Other long-term liabilities as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 mainly include an amount of $0.8 million and $0.8 million, respectively, being the non-current portion of a total accrued warranty reserve of $1.0 million and $1.0 million, respectively. We accrue a warranty reserve of 8% of the sale price of the fuel cells sold, typically for 2 years. Warranty reserve is released when repairs or replacements are carried out in relation to items under warranties or when the warranty period for the fuel cell expires. The portion of the warranty reserve expected to be incurred within the next 12 months is included within Other current liabilities (Note 12), while the remaining balance is included within Other long-term liabilities on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet.

15.	Stockholders’ Equity / (Deficit)

Shares Authorized

As of March 31, 2022, the Company had authorized a total of 111,000,000 shares for issuance with 110,000,000 shares designated as common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and 1,000,000 shares designated as preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share.

Common Stock

On April 9, 2021, 22,798 shares of common stock were issued in connection with the exercise of public warrants discussed below.

On August 31, 2021, 5,124,846 shares of common stock were issued in connection with the share consideration for the acquisition of SerEnergy and FES discussed in Note 3(c).

As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were 51,253,591 shares of issued and outstanding common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share.

Public Warrants

In connection with the Business Combination, the Company has assumed Public Warrants issued upon AMCI’s initial public offering.

As of December 31, 2020, the Company had 22,052,077 Public Warrants outstanding. Each Public Warrant entitles the registered holder to purchase one share of common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment, at any time commencing 30 days after the completion of the Business Combination. The Public Warrants will expire five years after the completion of the Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. During the second quarter of 2021, certain warrant holders exercised their option to purchase an additional 22,798 shares at $11.50 per share. These exercises generated $262,177 additional proceeds to the Company and increased our shares outstanding by 22,798 shares. Following these exercises, as of March 31, 2022, the Company’s Public Warrants amounted to 22,029,279.

Table of Contents

Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the Public Warrants:

–	in whole and not in part;

–	at a price of $0.01 per warrant;

–	upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption;

–	if, and only if, the reported last sale price of the Company’s common stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending three business days before the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders; and

–	if, and only if, there is a current registration statement in effect with respect to the shares of common stock underlying such warrants.

If the Company calls the Public Warrants for redemption, management will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise the Public Warrants to do so on a “cashless basis,” as described in the warrant agreement. The exercise price and number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a stock dividend, or recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, the warrants will not be adjusted for issuance of common stock at a price below its exercise price. In addition, the warrant agreement provides that in case of a tender offer or exchange that involves 50% or more of the Company’s stockholders, the Public Warrants may be settled in cash, equity securities or other assets depending on the kind and amount received per share by the holders of the common stock in such consolidation or merger that affirmatively make such election.

Public Warrants are classified in equity in accordance with the Company’s evaluation of the provisions of ASC 480 and ASC 815. The Company analyzed the terms of the Public Warrants and concluded that there are no terms that provide that the warrant is not indexed to the issuer’s common stock. The Company also analyzed the tender offer provision discussed above and considering that upon the Closing of the Business Combination the Company has a single class of common shares, concluded that the exception discussed in ASC 815-40-25 applies, and thus equity classification is not precluded.

Stock-Based Compensation Plans

2021 Equity Incentive Plan

The Company’s Board of Directors and shareholders previously approved the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) to reward certain employees and directors of the Company. The Plan has been established to advance the interests of the Company by providing for the grant to Participants of Stock and Stock-based Awards.

On the grant date of RSUs, the Company grants to each participant a specific number of RSUs as set forth in each agreement, giving each participant the conditional right to receive without payment one share of common stock. The RSUs are granted to each participant in connection with their ongoing employment with the Company.

17.	Collaborative Arrangements

Cooperative Research and Development Agreement

In August 2020, the Company entered into a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (“CRADA”) with Triad National Security, LLC (“TRIAD”), Alliance for Sustainable Energy LLC (“ASE”), and Brookhaven Science Associates (“BSA”). The purpose of this project is to build a fuel cell prototype that moves this technology closer to commercial readiness which was sanctioned by the Los Alamos National Laboratory and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory. The Government's estimated total contribution, which is provided through TRIAD’s, ASE’s, and BSA’s respective contracts with the Department of Energy is $1.2 million, subject to available funding. As a part of the CRADA, the Company is required to contribute $1.2 million in cash and $0.6 million of in-kind contributions, such as personnel salaries. The cash payments are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over the life of the contract. In-kind contributions are expensed as incurred. To date, the Company has not recognized any revenue from the CRADA.

Expenses from Collaborative Arrangements

For the three months ended March 31, 2022, an amount of $0.3 million has been recognized in research and development expenses line on the consolidated statements of operations. The Company did not recognize any expenses related to the CRADA in the three months ended March 31, 2021.

18.	Income Taxes

To calculate the interim tax provision, at the end of each interim period the Company estimates the annual effective tax rate and applies that to its ordinary quarterly earnings. The effect of changes in the enacted tax laws or rates is recognized in the interim period in which the change occurs. The computation of the annual estimated effective tax rate at each interim period requires certain estimates and judgments including, but not limited to, the expected operating income for the year, projections of the proportion of income earned and taxed in foreign jurisdictions, permanent differences between book and tax amounts, and the likelihood of recovering deferred tax assets generated in the current year. The accounting estimates used to compute the provision for income taxes may change as new events occur, additional information is obtained, or the tax environment changes.

19.	Segment Reporting and Information about Geographical Areas

Reportable Segments

The Company develops and manufactures high-temperature proton exchange membranes (“HT-PEM” or “HT-PEMs”) and fuel cell systems for the off-grid and portable power markets and plans to expand into the mobility market. The Company’s current revenue is derived from the sale of fuel cell systems and from the sale of MEAs, membranes, and electrodes for specific applications in the fuel cell and energy storage (flow battery) markets. The research and development activities are viewed as another product line that contributes to the development, design, production and sale of fuel cell products; however, it is not considered a separate operating segment. The Company has identified one business segment.

21.	Net income / (loss) per share

Net income / (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year.

Table of Contents

The following table sets forth the computation of the basic and diluted net income / (loss) per share for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021:

(Amounts in thousands, except share and per share amounts)	Three Months Ended March 31, (unaudited)
Numerator:	2022			2021
Net income / (loss)	$	(4,096	)	$	2,906
Denominator:
Basic weighted average number of shares		51,253,591			37,769,554
Diluted weighted average number of shares		51,253,591			40,987,346
Net loss per share:
Basic	$	(0.08	)		0.08
Diluted	$	(0.08	)		0.07

Basic net income / (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income / (loss) for the periods presented by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during these periods.

Diluted net income /(loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income / (loss), by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the periods, adjusted for the dilutive effect of shares of common stock equivalents resulting from the assumed exercise of the Public Warrants, Private Placements Warrants, Working Capital Warrants, Stock Options and Restricted Stock Units. The treasury stock method was used to calculate the potential dilutive effect of these common stock equivalents.

As the Company incurred losses for the three months ended March 31, 2022, the effect of including any potential common shares in the denominator of diluted per-share computations would have been anti-dilutive; therefore, basic and diluted losses per share are the same.

Item 2.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 31, 2022 (“2021 Annual Report”).

Some of the information contained in this discussion and analysis or set forth elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including information with respect to our plans and strategy for our business, includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. As a result of many factors, including those factors set forth in the “Item 1A. Risk Factors” section of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the “Item 1A. Risk Factors” section of our 2021 Annual Report, our actual results could differ materially from the results described in or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in the following discussion and analysis.

This MD&A generally discusses 2022 and 2021 items and year-over-year comparisons between 2022 and 2021. As used in this MD&A, unless the context indicates otherwise, the financial information and data relating to the three months ended March 31, 2021 are those of Advent Technologies, Inc. and its subsidiaries for the period prior to the Closing and are those of Advent Technologies Holdings, Inc. for the period subsequent to the Closing; and the data for the three months ended March 31, 2022 are those of Advent Technologies Holdings, Inc. See Note 1 “Basis of Presentation” in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information.

Advent is an advanced materials and technology development company operating in the fuel cell and hydrogen technology space. Advent develops, manufactures and assembles the critical components that determine the performance of hydrogen fuel cells and other energy systems. Advent’s core product offerings are full fuel cell systems and the Membrane Electrode Assembly (MEA) at the center of the fuel cell. The Advent MEA, which derives its key benefits from the properties of Advent’s engineered membrane technology, enables a more robust, longer-lasting and ultimately lower-cost fuel cell product.

To date, Advent’s principal operations have been to develop and manufacture MEAs, and to design fuel cell stacks and complete fuel cell systems for a range of customers in the stationary power, portable power, automotive, aviation, energy storage and sensor markets. Advent has its headquarters in Boston, Massachusetts, a product development facility in Livermore, California, and production facilities in Greece, Denmark, Germany and Philippines. In 2022, Advent anticipates opening its new research and development and manufacturing facility at Hood Park in Charlestown, Massachusetts.

The majority of Advent’s current revenue derives from the sale of fuel cell systems and MEAs, as well as the sale of membranes and electrodes for specific applications in the iron flow battery and cellphone markets, respectively. While fuel cell systems and MEA sales and associated revenues are expected to provide the majority of Advent’s future income, both of these markets remain commercially viable and have the potential to generate material future revenues based on Advent’s existing customers. Advent has also secured grant funding for a range of projects from research agencies and other organizations. Advent expects to continue to be eligible for grant funding based on its product development activities over the foreseeable future.

Business Combination and Public Company Costs

On October 12, 2020, Advent Technologies, Inc. (“Legacy Advent”) entered into the Merger Agreement with AMCI Acquisition Corp. ( “AMCI”), a Delaware corporation, AMCI Merger Sub Corp., a newly-formed Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of AMCI (“Merger Sub”), AMCI Sponsor LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Sponsor”), in its capacity as Purchaser Representative (the “Purchaser Representative”) and Vassilios Gregoriou, in the capacity as Seller Representative (the “Seller Representative”), pursuant to which, effective February 4, 2021 (the “Closing”), Merger Sub merged with and into Legacy Advent., with Legacy Advent surviving the Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of AMCI and AMCI changed its name to “Advent Technologies Holdings, Inc.”. Advent Technologies, Inc. is deemed the accounting predecessor and the combined entity is the successor registrant with the SEC, meaning that Advent Technologies, Inc.’s financial statements for previous periods are and will be disclosed in the company’s current and future periodic reports filed with the SEC.

Table of Contents

While the legal acquirer in the Merger Agreement is AMCI, for financial accounting and reporting purposes under GAAP, we have determined that Advent Technologies is the accounting acquirer and the Business Combination will be accounted for as a “reverse recapitalization.” A reverse recapitalization does not result in a new basis of accounting, and the financial statements of the combined entity represent the continuation of the financial statements of Advent Technologies in many respects. Under this method of accounting, AMCI is treated as the acquired entity whereby Legacy Advent is deemed to have issued common stock for the net assets and equity of AMCI, consisting mainly of cash, accompanied by a simultaneous equity recapitalization of AMCI (the “Recapitalization”).

Upon consummation of the Business Combination, the most significant change in Legacy Advent’s reported financial position and results was an increase in cash of approximately $141 million. Total direct and incremental transaction costs of AMCI and Legacy Advent, along with liabilities of AMCI paid off at the Closing, were approximately $23.6 million.

As a consequence of the Business Combination, Legacy Advent became the successor to an SEC-registered and Nasdaq-listed company which has required and will require Advent to hire additional personnel and implement procedures and processes to address public company regulatory requirements and customary practices. Advent expects to incur additional annual expenses as a public company for, among other things, directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, director fees and additional internal and external accounting, legal and administrative resources, including increased audit and legal fees.

Additionally, Advent anticipates that its revenue, capital and operating expenditures will increase significantly in connection with its ongoing activities following the Business Combination, as Advent expects to:

•	Expand U.S.-based operations to increase capacity for product testing, development projects and associated research and development activities;

•	Expand production facilities to increase and automate assembly and production of fuel cell systems and MEAs;

•	Develop improved MEA and other products for both existing and new markets, such as ultra-light MEAs designed for aviation applications, to remain at the forefront of the fast-developing hydrogen economy;

•	Increase business development and marketing activities;

•	Increase headcount in management and head office functions in order to appropriately manage Advent’s increased operations;

•	Improve its operational, financial and management information systems;

•	Obtain, maintain, expand, and protect its intellectual property portfolio; and

•	Operate as a public company.

Change in Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

On February 9, 2021, the audit committee of the board of directors of the Company approved the engagement of Ernst & Young (Hellas) Certified Auditors Accountants S.A. (“EY”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm to audit the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2021. EY served as independent registered public accounting firm of Advent prior to the Business Combination. Accordingly, Marcum LLP (“Marcum”), the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm prior to the Business Combination, was informed that it would be replaced by EY as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm following completion of its audit of the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, which consists only of the accounts of the pre-Business Combination special purpose acquisition company.

Announced Projects White Dragon & Green HiPo (4.65GW Green Hydrogen & 400MW Fuel Cells), approved by Greek Government and submitted to EU

On September 7, 2021, Advent announced that two Greek Important Projects of Common European Interest (“IPCEI”) had been approved by the Greek Minister of Development and Investments and the Greek Minister of Environment, Energy, and Climate Change. The programs submitted by Advent and the White Dragon consortium of companies aspire to replace Greece’s largest coal-fired plants with renewable solar energy parks, which will be supported by green hydrogen production (4.65GW), and fuel cell heat and power production (400MW). The projects are part of the "Hydrogen Technologies" IPCEI and will now move towards approval at the European Union ("EU") level. As a next step, Advent will demonstrate before the European Commission the economic, environmental, financial, social, and technical feasibility of the projects and the positive spillover effects to the European economy and society. Advent hopes to receive final notification from the European Commission in the second or third quarter of 2022. If approved, the Company will be the technology partner for an €8 billion project.

Collaboration with the DOE

The efforts with the constellation of Department of Energy National Laboratories (Los Alamos National Laboratory, LANL; Brookhaven National Laboratory, BNL; National Renewable Energy Laboratory, NREL) continue to gain momentum. This group of leading scientists and engineers is working closely with Advent’s development and manufacturing teams and are furthering the understanding of breakthrough materials that will advance HT-PEM fuel cells. This next generation HT-PEM appears to be well suited for heavy duty transportation, marine, and aeronautical applications, as well as delivering benefits in cost and lifetime for stationary power systems used in telecom and other remote power markets.

Comparability of Financial Information

Advent’s results of operations and statements of assets and liabilities may not be comparable between periods as a result of the Business Combination.

Key Factors Affecting Our Results

Advent believes that its performance and future success depend on several factors that present significant opportunities for Advent but also pose risks and challenges, including those discussed below.

Increased Customer Demand

Based on conversations with existing customers and incoming inquiries from new customers, Advent anticipates substantial increased demand for its fuel cell systems and MEAs from a wide range of customers as it scales up its production facilities and testing capabilities, and as the awareness of its MEA capabilities becomes widely known in the industry. Advent expects both its existing customers to increase order volume, and to generate substantial new orders from major organizations, with some of whom it is already in discussions regarding prospective commercial partnerships and joint development agreements. As of March 31, 2022, Advent was still generating a low level of revenues compared to its future projections and has not made any commercial sales to these major organizations.

Successful development of the Advanced MEA product

Advent’s future success depends in large part on the increasing integration of the hydrogen fuel cell into the energy transition globally over the next decade. In order to become cost-competitive with existing renewable power generation and energy storage technology and achieve widespread adoption, fuel cells will need to achieve substantial improvement in the cost/kw performance ratio delivered to prospective fuel cell customers, predominantly OEMs, System Integrators and major energy companies. Advent expects to play an important enabling role in the adoption of hydrogen fuel cells, as its MEA technology is the critical determining factor in the cost/kw performance ratio of the fuel cells. In partnership with the Los Alamos National Laboratory, Advent is currently developing its next generation MEA technology (“Advanced MEA”) which is anticipated to deliver as much as three times the power output of its current MEA product. While Advent is already projecting being able to pass through substantial cost benefits to its customers through economies of scale as it increases MEA production, the successful development of the Advanced MEA will be an important factor in delivering the required improvement in cost/kw performance to Advent’s customers.

Basis of Presentation

Advent’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The Company has determined that it operates in one reportable segment. See Note 1 “Basis of Presentation” in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for more information.

Components of Results of Operations

Revenue

Revenues consist of sales of goods (MEAs, membranes, fuel cell stacks, fuel cell systems and electrodes). Advent expects revenues to increase materially and be weighted towards fuel cell systems and MEA sales over time, in line with the projected increase in MEA production in response to customer demand.

Cost of Revenues

Cost of revenues consists of consumables, raw materials, processing costs and direct labor costs associated with the assembly and manufacture of MEAs, membranes, fuel cell stacks and systems and electrodes. Advent expects cost of revenues to increase substantially in line with increased production. Advent recognizes cost of revenues in the period that revenues are recognized.

Income from Grants

Income from grants consists of cash subsidies received from research agencies and other national and international organizations in support of Advent’s research and development activities. Advent expects to continue to be eligible for grant income and remains in discussion with a number of prospective grantors in relation to a number of product development activities.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses consist of costs associated with Advent’s research and development activities, such as laboratory costs and sample material costs. Advent expects its research and development activities to increase substantially as it invests in improved technology and products.

Administrative and Selling Expenses

Administrative and selling expenses consist of travel expenses, indirect labor costs, fees paid to consultants, third parties and service providers, taxes and duties, legal and audit fees, depreciation, business development salaries and limited marketing activities, and incentive and stock-based compensation expense. Advent expects administrative and selling expenses to increase in line with MEA production and revenue as the business scales up, and as a result of operating as a public company, including compliance with the rules and regulations of the SEC, legal, audit, additional insurance expenses, investor relations activities and other administrative and professional services. Depreciation is also expected to increase as the Company invests in fixed assets in support of the scale-up of the business.

Other Income / Expenses

Other income / (expenses) consist of additional de minimis incidental income / (expenses) incurred by the business. These income / (expenses) are expected to remain at a de minimis level in the future.

Change in Fair Value of Warrant Liability

Change in fair value of warrant liability amounting to $8.4 million and $9.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, represents the change in fair value of the Private Placement Warrants and Working Capital Warrants.

Table of Contents

Finance Costs

Finance costs consist mainly of bank charges. Finance costs are not anticipated to increase materially as Advent is not intending to take on substantial borrowings at the corporate level in the near future.

Foreign exchange differences, net

Foreign exchange differences, net consists of foreign exchange gains or losses on transactions denominated in foreign currencies and on translation of monetary items denominated in foreign currencies. As the Company scales up, its foreign exchange exposure is likely to increase given its revenues are denominated in both euros and dollars, and a portion of the Company’s costs are denominated in euros.

Amortization of intangibles

The intangible assets of $4.7 million recognized on the acquisition of UltraCell is the Trade Name “UltraCell” ($0.4 million) and the Patented Technology ($4.3 million). The Trade Name has an indefinite useful life while the Patented Technology has a useful life of 10 years, for which amortization expense of $(0.1) million and $(0.1) million has been recognized for the periods for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and from the acquisition date of UltraCell to March 31, 2021, respectively.

The intangible assets of $19.8 million recognized on the acquisition of SerEnergy and FES are the Patents amounting to $16.9 million, the Process know-how (IPR&D) amounting to $2.6 million and the Order backlog amounting to $0.3 million. The Patents have a useful life of 10 years, the Process know-how has a useful life of 6 years and the Order backlog has a useful life of 1 year. Amortization expense of $(0.6) million and $0 has been recognized in relation to these intangibles for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Revenue, net

Our total revenue from product sales decreased by approximately $0.2 million from approximately $1.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2021 to approximately $1.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022. The decrease in revenue was related to the timing of revenue recognition under certain long-term contracts with customers for Advent’s MEAs and other products.

Cost of Revenues

Cost of revenues increased by approximately $1.2 million from approximately $0.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2021 to approximately $1.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase in cost of revenues was related to the requirement for increased production of MEAs and fuel cell systems to satisfy customer demand, as well as, cost of revenues attributed to UltraCell’s, SerEnergy’s and FES’s operations. We also faced supply chain cost pressure during the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Gross profit / (loss), which is revenue, net minus the cost of revenue, decreased to $(0.3) million in the three months ended March 31, 2022 from $1.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2021.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses were approximately $2.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022, primarily related to the research and development costs of SerEnergy and FES, as well as the Company’s cooperative research development agreement with the U.S. Department of Energy. Research and development expenses were approximately $0.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 2021.

Administrative and Selling Expenses

Administrative and selling expenses were approximately $10.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022, and $7.9 million in the three months ended March 31, 2021. The increase was primarily due the increased personnel in the Greece and Boston offices, the recognition of stock-based compensation expense amounting to $2.9 million, administrative and selling expenses associated with being a public company, and costs of the SerEnergy/FES businesses post-acquisition.

Change in fair value of Warrant Liability

The change in fair value of warrant liability amounting to $8.4 million and $9.8 million was due to the change in fair value of the Private Placement Warrants and Working Capital Warrants for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and for the period February 4, 2021 to March 31, 2021, respectively.

Cash Flows provided by Financing Activities

Advent’s cash flows from financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2021 represent the cash amount contributed at the date of the Merger of February 4, 2021.

Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities

Contract assets reflect revenue recognized and performance obligations satisfied in advance of customer billing. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, Advent recognized contract assets of $1.1 million and $1.6 million, respectively, on the consolidated balance sheets. The balance as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 includes an amount of $0 and $0.6 million, respectively, from the SerEnergy and FES acquisition.

Advent recognizes contract liabilities when we receive customer payments or have the unconditional right to receive consideration in advance of the performance obligations being satisfied on our contracts. We receive payments from customers based on the terms established in our contracts. Contract liabilities are classified as either current or long-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets based on the timing of when we expect to recognize the related revenue. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, Advent recognized contract liabilities of $0.6 million and $1.1 million, respectively, in the consolidated balance sheets. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company recognized the amount of $0.1 million in revenues. The balance as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 amounting to $0.5 million and $1.1 million, respectively, was from the SerEnergy and FES acquisition.

Off-Balance Sheet Commitments and Arrangements

Since the date of our incorporation, Advent has not engaged in any off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined in the rules and regulations of the SEC.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Advent’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires Advent to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the balance sheet date, as well as the reported expenses incurred during the reporting period. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and such differences could be material to Advent’s financial statements.

Emerging Growth Company Status

Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such an election to opt out is irrevocable. Advent elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, Advent, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard, until such time Advent is no longer considered to be an emerging growth company. At times, Advent may elect to early adopt a new or revised standard. See Note 2 in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for more information about the recent accounting pronouncements adopted and the recent accounting pronouncements not yet adopted for the three months ending March 31, 2022 and 2021.

Table of Contents

In addition, Advent intends to rely on the other exemptions and reduced reporting requirements provided by the JOBS Act. Subject to certain conditions set forth in the JOBS Act, if, as an emerging growth company, Advent intends to rely on such exemptions, Advent is not required to, among other things: (a) provide an auditor’s attestation report on Advent’s system of internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act; (b) provide all of the compensation disclosure that may be required of non-emerging growth public companies under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act; (c) comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements (auditor discussion and analysis); and (d) disclose certain executive compensation-related items such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance and comparisons of the Chief Executive Officer’s compensation to median employee compensation.

Advent will remain an emerging growth company under the JOBS Act until the earliest of (a) the last day of Advent’s first fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the date of the first sale of common equity securities pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (b) the last date of Advent’s fiscal year in which Advent has total annual gross revenue of at least $1.1 billion, (c) the date on which Advent is deemed to be a “large accelerated filer” under the rules of the SEC with at least $700.0 million of outstanding securities held by non-affiliates or (d) the date on which Advent has issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities during the previous three years.

While Advent’s significant accounting policies are described in the notes to Advent’s financial statements (see Note 2 in the consolidated financial statements), Advent believes that the following accounting policies require a greater degree of judgment and complexity. Accordingly, these are the policies Advent believes are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating Advent’s financial condition and results of operations.

Revenue Recognition from January 1, 2019

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), as amended, which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. We adopted ASU No. 2014-09 on January 1, 2019, using the modified retrospective approach to all contracts not completed at the date of initial application. The prior period comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting guidance in effect for that period.

In accordance with ASC 606, revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services are transferred to a customer in an amount that reflects the consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for those services. We apply the following five steps in order to determine the appropriate amount of revenue to be recognized as it fulfills its obligations under each of its arrangements:

•	identify the contract with a customer,

•	identify the performance obligations in the contract,

•	determine the transaction price,

•	allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract, and

•	recognize revenue as the performance obligation is satisfied.

With significant and recurring customers, we negotiate written master agreements as framework agreements (general terms and conditions of trading), following individual purchase orders. For customers with no master agreements, the approved purchase orders form the contract. Effectively, contracts under the revenue standard have been assessed to be the purchase orders agreed with customers.

We have assessed that each product sold is a single performance obligation because the promised goods are distinct on their own and within the context of the contract. In cases where the agreement includes customization services for the contracted products, we are providing integrated services; therefore, the goods are not separately identifiable, but are inputs to produce and deliver a combined output and form a single performance obligation within the context of the contract. Furthermore, we assessed whether it acts as a principal or agent in each of its revenue arrangements and has concluded that in all sales transactions it acts as a principal. Additionally, we, taking into consideration the guidance and indicative factors provided by ASC 606, concluded that it provides assurance type warranties (warranty period is up to two years) as it does not provide a service to the customer beyond fixing defects that existed at the time of sale. We, based on historical performance, current circumstances, and projections of trends, estimated that no allowance for returns as per warranty policy should be recognized, at the time of sale, accounted for under ASC 460, Guarantees.

Table of Contents

Under ASC 606, we estimate the transaction price, including variable consideration, at the commencement of the contract and recognize revenue over the contract term, rather than when fees become fixed or determinable. In other words, where contracts with customers include variable consideration (i.e. volume rebates), we estimate at contract inception the variable consideration and adjust the transaction price only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. Furthermore, no material rights or significant financing components have been identified in our contracts. Payment terms generally include advance payment requirements. The time between a customer’s payment and completion of the performance obligation is less than one year. Payment terms are in the majority fixed and do not include variable consideration, except from volume rebates.

Revenue from satisfaction of performance obligations is recognized based on identified transaction price. The transaction price reflects the amount to which we have rights under the present contract. It is allocated to the distinct performance obligations based on standalone selling prices of the services promised in the contract. In cases of more than one performance obligation, we allocate transaction price to the distinct performance obligations in proportion to their observable stand-alone selling prices and recognize revenue as those performance obligations are satisfied.

In the majority of cases of product sales, revenue is recognized at a point in time when the customer obtains control of the respective goods that is, when the products are shipped from our facilities as control passes to the customer in accordance with agreed contracts and the stated shipping terms. In cases where the contract includes customization services, which one performance obligation is identified, revenue is recognized over time as our performance does not create an asset with alternative use and we have an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date. We use the input method (i.e., cost-to-cost method) to measure progress towards complete satisfaction of the performance obligation.

Income from grants and related deferred income

Grants include cash subsidies received from various institutions and organizations. Grants are recognized as other income. Such amounts are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations when all conditions attached to the grants are fulfilled.

Condition to the grants would not be fulfilled unless related costs have been characterized as eligible by the grantors, are actually incurred and there is certainty that costs are allowable. These grants are recognized as deferred income when received and recorded in income when the eligible and allowable related costs and expenses are incurred. Under all grant programs, a coordinator is specified. The coordinator, among other, receives the funding from the grantor and proceeds to its distribution to the parties agreed in the process specified in the program. We assessed whether it acts as a principal or agent in its role as a coordinator for specific grants and has concluded that in all related transactions it acts as an agent.

Goodwill

The Company allocates the fair value of purchase consideration transferred in a business acquisition to the tangible assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and intangible assets acquired based on their estimated fair values. The excess of the fair value of purchase consideration transferred over the fair values of these identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill. Such valuations require management to make significant estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to intangible assets. Significant estimates in valuing certain intangible assets include, but are not limited to, future expected cash flows from acquired licenses, trade names, in process research and development ("R&D"), useful lives and discount rates, patents, customer clientele, customer contracts and know-how. Management's estimates of fair value are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable, but which are inherently uncertain and unpredictable and, as a result, actual results may differ from estimates. During the measurement period, the Company may record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with the corresponding offset to goodwill. Upon the conclusion of the measurement period, any subsequent adjustments are recorded in the consolidated statement of operations.

Table of Contents

For significant acquisitions, the Company obtains independent appraisals and valuations of the intangible (and certain tangible) assets acquired and certain assumed obligations as well as equity. The Company analyzes each acquisition individually and all acquisitions within each reporting period in aggregate to determine if those are material acquisitions in the context of ASC 805-10-50.

The estimated fair values and useful lives of identified intangible assets are based on many factors, including estimates and assumptions of future operating performance and cash flows of the acquired business, estimates of cost avoidance, the nature of the business acquired, the specific characteristics of the identified intangible assets and our historical experience and that of the acquired business. The estimates and assumptions used to determine the fair values and useful lives of identified intangible assets could change due to numerous factors, including product demand, market conditions, regulations affecting the business model of our operations, technological developments, economic conditions and competition.

We conduct a goodwill impairment analysis annually in the fourth fiscal quarter, or more frequently, if changes in facts and circumstances indicate that the fair value of our reporting units may be less than their carrying amounts. In testing goodwill for impairment, the Company first assesses qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If, after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, the Company determines it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then additional impairment testing is not required. When the Company determines a fair value test is necessary, it estimates the fair value of a reporting unit and compares the result with its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment is recorded equal to the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value, up to the amount of goodwill associated with the reporting unit. Currently, we identify one reporting unit.

Income Taxes

Advent follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes under ASC 740, Income Taxes. Under the asset and liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. This method also requires the recognition of future tax benefits, such as net operating loss carry forwards, to the extent that it is more likely than not that such benefits will be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that included the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Valuation allowances are reassessed periodically to determine whether it is more likely than not that the tax benefits will be realized in the future and if any existing valuation allowance should be released.

Part of the Advent’s business activities are conducted through its subsidiaries outside of U.S. Earnings from these subsidiaries are generally indefinitely reinvested in the local businesses. Further, local laws and regulations may also restrict certain subsidiaries from paying dividends to their parents. Consequently, Advent generally does not accrue income taxes for the repatriation of such earnings in accordance with ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” To the extent that there are excess accumulated earnings that we intend to repatriate from any such subsidiaries, we recognize deferred tax liabilities on such foreign earnings.

Advent assesses its income tax positions and records tax benefits for all years subject to examination based on the evaluation of the facts, circumstances, and information available at each reporting date. For those tax positions with a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information, Advent records a tax benefit. For those income tax positions that are not likely to be sustained, no tax benefit is recognized in the consolidated financial statements. Advent recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as part of the provision for income taxes.

Table of Contents

ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. For those income tax positions that are not likely to be sustained, no tax benefit is recognized in the consolidated financial statements. Advent recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as part of the provision for income taxes.

For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, net income tax benefits (provisions) of $0.7 million and $0, respectively, have been recorded in the consolidated statements of operations. Advent is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant accruals or material deviation from its position. The Company is subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities.

The Company and its U.S. subsidiaries may be subject to potential examination by U.S. federal, state and city, while the Company’s subsidiaries outside U.S. may be subject to potential examination by their taxing authorities in the areas of income taxes. These potential examinations may include questioning the timing and amount of deductions, the nexus of income among various tax jurisdictions and compliance with the U.S. federal, state and city, and tax laws in the countries where business activities of Company’s subsidiaries are conducted. On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (“Tax Reform”) was signed into legislation. As part of the legislation, the U.S. corporate income tax rate was reduced from 35% to 21%, among other changes.

Warrant Liability

The Company accounts for the 26,369,557 warrants (comprising of 22,029,279 Public Warrants and 3,940,278 Private Placement Warrants) issued in connection with the initial public offering and the 400,000 Working Capital Warrants issued at the consummation of the Business Combination in accordance with ASC 815-40-15-7D. If the warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment, they must be recorded as liabilities. We have determined that only the Private Placement Warrants and Working Capital Warrants must be recorded as liabilities and accordingly, the Company classifies these warrant instruments as liabilities at their fair value and adjusts the instruments to fair value at each reporting period. These liabilities are subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until exercised, and any change in fair value is recognized in the Company's statement of operations. The fair value of the Private Placement Warrants and the Working Capital Warrants has been determined using either the quoted price, if available, or was based on a modified Black-Scholes-Merton model. The fair value of the Private Placement Warrants and the Working Capital Warrants has been determined based on a modified Black-Scholes-Merton model for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the FASB or other standard setting bodies that are adopted by Advent as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, Advent believes that the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on Advent’s financial position or results of operations under adoption.

See Note 2 in the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for more information about recent accounting pronouncements, the timing of their adoption and Advent’s assessment, to the extent Advent has made one, of their potential impact on Advent’s financial condition and results of operations.

Supplemental Non-GAAP Measures and Reconciliations

In addition to providing measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, we present certain supplemental non-GAAP measures. These measures are EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income / (Loss), which we use to evaluate our operating performance, for business planning purposes and to measure our performance relative to that of our peers. These non-GAAP measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and therefore may differ from similar measures presented by other companies and may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures. We believe these measures are useful in evaluating the operating performance of the Company’s ongoing business. These measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for net income, operating expense and income, cash flows and other measures of financial performance and liquidity reported in accordance with GAAP. The calculation of these non-GAAP measures has been made on a consistent basis for all periods presented.

Table of Contents

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

These supplemental non-GAAP measures are provided to assist readers in determining our operating performance. We believe this measure is useful in assessing performance and highlighting trends on an overall basis. We also believe EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are frequently used by securities analysts and investors when comparing our results with those of other companies. EBITDA differs from the most comparable GAAP measure, net income / (loss), primarily because it does not include interest, income taxes, depreciation of property, plant and equipment, and amortization of intangible assets. Adjusted EBITDA adjusts EBITDA for transactional gains and losses, asset impairment charges, finance and other income and acquisition costs.

The following tables show a reconciliation of net income / (loss) to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA	Three months ended March 31, (unaudited)

Adjusted Net Income/(Loss)

This supplemental non-GAAP measure is provided to assist readers in determining our financial performance. We believe this measure is useful in assessing our actual performance by adjusting our results from continuing operations for changes in warrant liability and one-time transaction costs. Adjusted Net Loss differs from the most comparable GAAP measure, net income / (loss), primarily because it does not include one-time transaction costs and warrant liability changes. The following table shows a reconciliation of net income/(loss) for three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.

Adjusted Net Loss	Three months ended March 31, (unaudited)
(in Millions of US dollars)	2022			2021			$ change
Net income / (loss)	$	(4.10	)	$	2.91			(7.01	)

Item 3.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Advent is exposed to a variety of market and other risks, including the effects of changes in interest rates and inflation, as well as risks to the availability of funding sources, hazard events and specific asset risks.

Interest Rate Risk

Advent holds cash and cash equivalents for working capital, investment and general corporate purposes. As of March 31, 2022, Advent had a cash balance of approximately $59.3 million, consisting of operating and savings accounts which are not affected by changes in the general level of U.S. interest rates. Advent is not expected to be materially exposed to interest rate risk in the future as it intends to take on limited debt finance.

Inflation Risk

Advent does not believe that inflation currently has a material effect on its business.

Foreign Exchange Risk

Advent has costs and revenues denominated in euros, Danish krone and Philippine pesos, and therefore is exposed to fluctuations in exchange rates. To date, Advent has not entered into any hedging transactions to mitigate the effect of foreign exchange due to the relatively low sums involved. As we increase in scale, we expect to continue to realize a portion of our revenues and costs in foreign currencies, and therefore expect to put in place appropriate foreign exchange risk mitigation features in due course.

Item 4.

Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2022. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Based on the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this Report.

Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, that occurred during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
