Fusion Fuel appoints interim CFO amid strategic shift

DUBLIN - Fusion Fuel Green PLC (NASDAQ:HTOO), a company specializing in energy engineering and advisory services trading at $0.44 per share, has announced a change in its financial leadership. Gavin Jones has resigned as Chief Financial Officer effective January 24, 2025, to pursue a new opportunity. He will continue in his role as Company Secretary and support the transition. Frederico Figueira de Chaves, the current Chief Strategy Officer and Head of Hydrogen Solutions, has been named interim CFO. According to InvestingPro analysis, the company appears undervalued based on its Fair Value assessment, despite facing significant challenges with a -58% price return over the past year.

Frederico Figueira de Chaves, who previously served as CFO from 2020 to 2023, played a significant role in developing the company’s financial strategy. As interim CFO, he will maintain his existing responsibilities while leveraging his experience to guide the company through its next growth phase.

This leadership transition is expected to support Fusion Fuel’s strategic priorities and enhance its capabilities in the hydrogen ecosystem. While analysts anticipate sales growth in the current year, InvestingPro data indicates the company faces near-term challenges with short-term obligations exceeding liquid assets.

In other recent news, Fusion Fuel Green PLC has been making strategic moves to ensure its long-term compliance with Nasdaq’s listing requirements. The company’s pro forma stockholders’ equity currently stands at approximately $12.0 million, a figure that aligns with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1). This figure is a result of several transactions, including the acquisition of Quality Industrial Corp. in November 2024 and a series of financial activities on January 10, 2025.

In addition to these financial maneuvers, Fusion Fuel has announced plans to acquire a majority stake in Quality Industrial Corp. This strategic acquisition aims to expand Fusion Fuel’s energy engineering business and integrate capabilities in both traditional and clean energy sectors. The deal, which will see Fusion Fuel acquiring approximately 70% of Quality Industrial Corp, is expected to facilitate Fusion Fuel’s extension into the Middle East and Quality Industrial Corp’s expansion into European markets.

However, amidst these developments, Fusion Fuel’s Portuguese subsidiary has filed for insolvency. The company views this as an opportunity to recalibrate its business strategy, focusing on enhancing its hydrogen engineering and advisory offerings, which require low capital expenditure and offer scalability. These are among the recent developments that have been unfolding at Fusion Fuel Green PLC.
