Hyliion, Al Khorayef Group ink deal on sustainable generators

AUSTIN, Texas - Hyliion Holdings Corp. (NYSE American: HYLN), specializing in electricity-producing technology and currently valued at $358 million, announced today a Letter of Intent (LOI) with Saudi Arabia’s Al Khorayef Group to deliver up to twelve 200 kW KARNO™ generator units. According to InvestingPro analysis, the company maintains a strong balance sheet with more cash than debt, though it faces challenges with cash burn. The generators, which align with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 sustainability goals, are set to enhance agricultural and power generation applications in the region.

The KARNO generators, which will initially operate on liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and natural gas, are designed for efficiency, low emissions, and minimal maintenance. Their adaptability for future fuel sources, coupled with quiet operation, positions them as a solution for remote locations where grid power is unavailable. With a current ratio of 17.6x, InvestingPro data shows the company maintains ample liquidity to support its operational initiatives.

This collaboration aims to explore the potential of KARNO generators in the Middle East’s power generation market, contributing to reduced pollutants and improved food security. CEO of Al Khorayef Group, Mr. Mohamed bin Alkhorayef, emphasized the partnership’s alignment with their mission to transform energy into a tool for progress.

Hyliion’s Founder and CEO, Thomas Healy, expressed enthusiasm for providing sustainable power solutions that support the region’s food security and economic growth. The LOI is a precursor to a binding purchase agreement, details of which are yet to be finalized.

Hyliion, headquartered in Austin with R&D in Cincinnati, focuses on distributed power generators adaptable to various fuel sources, targeting commercial and waste management industries. Al Khorayef Group, with a presence in over 40 countries, has been at the forefront of innovation across industries, including power generation through their Gulf Power brand.

The information in this announcement is based on a press release statement and includes forward-looking statements subject to risks and uncertainties. The actual performance of the KARNO generators and the execution of the strategic collaboration are contingent on future developments.

In other recent news, Hyliion Holdings Corp. has made significant strides in environmental sustainability. The company has partnered with ElectriGen LLC to install innovative KARNO™ generators, which aim to reduce methane emissions in the oil and gas industry. The project, funded by a $6 million grant from the U.S. Department of Energy’s Methane Emissions Reduction Program, utilizes the KARNO generator to convert over 20 types of fuels into electricity. This technology could potentially transform excess flared gas into a profitable energy source, thereby mitigating methane emissions.

Simultaneously, Hyliion has announced progress on its Carnot generator during its third quarter 2024 earnings call. Despite reporting a net loss of $11.2 million for the quarter, the company has improved its financial position with a decrease in operating expenses and a robust cash and investments balance of $238 million. Hyliion is set to start early adopter deliveries of its 200-kilowatt Carnot generator, thanks to a $16 million contract with the U.S. Office of Naval Research.

In another development, Swvl Holdings Corp has appointed Youssef Salem to its Board of Directors. Salem, who previously held the position of Chief Financial Officer at Swvl, has a wealth of experience in investment banking and academia. His appointment was ratified ahead of the company’s upcoming Annual Meeting of Shareholders. These are recent developments that highlight the ongoing efforts of both companies to strengthen their respective positions in the market.
