While Metacon delivered continued backlog execution in its Q2 report, the main takeaways in our view were the weak order intake and management's commentary on the slow market development.

We expect Metacon's Q2 report to show continued strong growth, while we anticipate earnings will remain negative due to the ongoing commercial scale-up.
In total, the rights issue is expected to reach approximately 71% of the maximum subscription, or ~77 MSEK before expenses, compared to the maximum amount of approximately 109 MSEK.
Metacon announced on Friday that it has received a 1.2 MEUR (~13.2 MSEK) customer payment from Motor Oil and that 0.99 MEUR in previously restricted bank funds have been released. The inflows relate to the ongoing 50 MW electrolysis project in Greece. In our view, the news is a positive confirmation that the project execution is progressing as planned and provides a welcome addition to the company's liquidity position. The announcement does not trigger any estimate changes.
In our view, the recently announced capital raise reduces the financing risks and should give the company the runway to execute its order backlog and help convert parts of its sales pipeline, at least in the short term.
In our view, the raise lowers short-term financing risks by securing working capital needs for ongoing customer projects and enabling the repayment of temporary project financing.
