Grenoble, 31 July 2026 – HRS, a French designer and manufacturer of hydrogen infrastructure and European leader in hydrogen refueling stations, presents its annual revenue for 2025–2026 (for the period from 1 July 2025 to 30 June 2026).
Hassen RACHEDI, founder and CEO of HRS, said: “During the 2025–2026 financial year, HRS accelerated the roll-out of its strategy to support the development of hydrogen infrastructure across a wide range of sectors. Whereas we were previously a pure player in high-capacity hydrogen refueling stations, we are now capitalising on our expertise in hydrogen compression, high-pressure storage and distribution to provide products and solutions that address new strategic markets driven by the energy transition, the rise of artificial intelligence and the growing need for energy infrastructure. This diversification strategy, accompanied by the signing of partnerships with global leaders, is resulting in the development of two main growth drivers:
These growth drivers are intended to support our development trajectory over the coming financial years, as our business in the hydrogen mobility market is being affected by both longer decision-making processes and extended deployment times among certain customers. Whilst this situation does not call into question the contracts in question, it does affect the recognition of our revenue and our cash position. As such, we have undertaken a number of strategic initiatives to rapidly extend our cash horizon. In particular, we are in advanced negotiations to secure €4 million in bank financing, with the funds expected to be made available before the end of September. We are also about to sign a preliminary sale agreement for the sale and leaseback of our headquarters in Champagnier, a transaction expected to be finalised by the end of 2026. The completion of these two transactions would thus extend our cash horizon beyond 12 months. HRS's roadmap for the coming financial year is therefore clear: to capitalise on our expertise in order to expand into new markets, continue to adapt our cost base, consolidate our financial structure and return to growth in our business activity.” 2025-2026 ANNUAL REVENUE HRS reported gross revenue1 of €12.2 million in 2025–2026 (€26.0 million in 2024–2025). Revenue from ‘Hydrogen Stations & Maintenance' amounted €10.7 million and was broken down as follows:
Finally, turnover from the “Industrial Piping” business reached €1.4 million. Taking into account the write-off of the final revenue share relating to pHYnix, amounting to €1.5 million, following the company's compulsory liquidation, IFRS revenue for the 2025–2026 financial year thus stands at €10.7 million (€11.3 million in 2024–2025). The components acquired for the production of the pHYnix stations will therefore either be returned to stock or reallocated to new orders. HIGHLIGHTS OF THE 2025-2026 FINANCIAL YEAR Installation of five new stations:
HRS had one of the largest installed bases in Europe as at 30 June 2026, with 31 operational high-capacity stations. International order intake totalling €3.4 million:
Following an initial order in 2024 for Teesside Airport, Element 2, the UK's leading hydrogen refueling provider, has renewed its confidence in HRS by ordering a new HRS14 mobile station. This order confirms HRS's positioning in the heavy-duty mobility sector and the Group's ability to deploy reliable, high-performance solutions across European markets.
HRS has received a new order from a major player for the supply and installation of a hydrogen refueling station with a capacity of 300 kg/day (HRS14). This dual-pressure HRS14 station, installed in the second half of 2026, will refuel all types of heavy and light hydrogen-powered vehicles back-to-back at 700 bar and 350 bar via two refueling points. 8 new HRS hydrogen stations now covered by maintenance contracts HRS is accelerating the development of a recurring revenue stream from the maintenance of its hydrogen refueling stations. Eight additional stations are now covered by HRS's maintenance offering, including the six stations installed for HYmpulsion (Aubenas, Saint-Égrève, Vénissieux, Lyon-Saint-Exupéry, Malataverne and Saint-Priest). To date, 23 maintenance contracts have been signed, while 7 additional contracts are currently being finalized. HRS can now therefore rely on a base of recurring revenue in excess of €2 million per financial year. Signing of a cooperation agreement with a global leader to co-develop hydrogen infrastructure HRS has signed a cooperation agreement with a global leader to co-develop hydrogen infrastructure for the mobility and industrial markets. Further details of this agreement will be provided in a dedicated press release shortly. ACCELERATING THE DIVERSIFICATION STRATEGY THROUGH TWO NEW GROWTH DRIVERS: FILLING CENTERS AND SECURE POWER UNITS Against the backdrop of extended decision-making cycles in the hydrogen refueling station market, HRS is accelerating its diversification strategy through two high-potential growth drivers: hydrogen molecule transfer infrastructures (Filling Centers) and hydrogen-based power generation solutions (Secure Power Units – SPUs). This strategy is designed to leverage the expertise and industrial capabilities that HRS has developed in hydrogen compression, high-pressure storage, and distribution. It enables the Company to address new strategic markets driven by the energy transition, the rapid expansion of artificial intelligence, and growing demand for energy infrastructure. HRS aims to establish itself as a unique industrial platform for leading European players in high value-added hydrogen infrastructure, at the intersection of the energy transition, industrial sovereignty, and the digital revolution. Filling centers As a reminder, filling centers are logistics infrastructures that represent a critical link between hydrogen production and distribution. These hydrogen transfer platforms provide compression, high-pressure storage, loading and unloading services, enabling the efficient transfer of hydrogen between production sites, transportation assets, dedicated networks, and end users. HRS sees significant revenue potential in this market. The solution developed by the Company is now entering its commercialization phase, with initial sales opportunities expected as early as 2027. Secure Power Units (SPUs) HRS is developing modular hydrogen-powered electricity generation units ranging from 500 kW to 10 MW. Designed to deliver reliable, scalable, and low-carbon electricity, these units address the growing requirements of infrastructures requiring highly secure and resilient power supply. SPUs are particularly suited for next-generation data centers, AI-related infrastructure, energy-intensive industrial facilities, and other critical infrastructures. Developed in partnership with Ballard Power Systems, a global leader in PEM fuel cell technology, the SPU offering is primarily targeted at Tier III and Tier IV data centers, critical digital infrastructure, and all facilities requiring secure, high-availability power solutions. Development of the first SPU is currently underway. A demonstration unit is scheduled to be installed at the HRS testing facility in 2027 to validate key technological building blocks, including hydrogen-to-power integration and safety architecture. In parallel, HRS is currently engaged in preliminary commercial discussions regarding 1 MW SPU projects. UPDATE ON FINANCIAL POSITION As previously announced[4], the slowdown in the hydrogen mobility market, combined with longer decision-making cycles and extended payment terms from certain customers (approximately €5.5 million in receivables outstanding as of June 30, 2026), are impacting HRS's financial position. To rapidly extend its cash runway, estimated at September 2026, HRS has initiated several key measures:
Should these financing initiatives be successfully completed, HRS believes it would have sufficient financial resources to fund its operations beyond the next twelve months. 2026-2027 OUTLOOK As of June 30, 2026, the commercial backlog stood at €9.7 million, including €4.6 million of revenue to be recognized from hydrogen stations currently under production. HRS continues to be engaged in a substantial pipeline of projects, several of which are at an advanced stage of negotiation. The Company also expects to secure its first orders in hydrogen infrastructure projects beyond refueling stations. Based on these elements, HRS anticipates a return to business growth in FY 2026–2027. ABOUT HRS (HYDROGEN REFUELING SOLUTIONS) HRS is a French designer and manufacturer of hydrogen infrastructure.
