Ceres Power suffered a widened annual loss in 2022 and posted reduced revenue in-line with guidance. The clean energy technology developer reported a pretax loss of GBP49.0 million in 2022, widened from a loss of GBP23.4 million the year prior. Revenue dropped sharply to GBP22.1 million from GBP30.8 million, though Ceres noted this was in-line with previous guidance. Gross margin reduced to 59% from 62%, reflecting the reduction in high-margin licence fee income recognised in the year compared with 2021. Ceres said its investment increased by 67% in 2022, rising to GBP58.4 million from GBP34.9 million the previous year. This was in-line with its strategy to expand into electrolysis for green hydrogen and deliver the "next generation" of fuel cell technology, it said.
