Alfen's revenue outlook estimates are management estimates resulting from Alfen's pursuit of its strategy. Alfen can provide no assurances that the estimated future revenues will be realised and the actual revenue for the financial year 2021 could differ materially. The expected revenues have also been determined based on assumptions and estimates that Alfen considered reasonable at the date these were made. These estimates and assumptions are inherently uncertain and reflect management's views which are also based on its historic success of being assigned projects, which may materially differ from the success rates for any future projects. These estimates and assumptions may change as a result of uncertainties related to the economic, financial or competitive environment and as a result of future business decisions of Alfen or its clients, such as cancellations or delays, as well as the occurrence of certain other events.

A more comprehensive discussion of the risk factors affecting Alfen's business can be found in Alfen's annual report 2020 which can be found on Alfen's website, www.alfen.com.

Q3 2020

Q3 2021

  • Alfen benefitted from its strong international market position as the penetration of Electric Vehicles in new car sales keeps growing across Europe.
  • More and more car OEM's have committed to electrification of their portfolios and are rapidly increasing and diversifying EV supply in the market. This together with the ongoing incentives for EVs across Europe is driving the growing demand for EV charge points at home, at businesses and in public locations.
  • From a supply chain perspective, a high demand for components, especially electrical ones, continued to put pressure on the supply chain throughout the world. Alfen continued to closely manage its supply chain and has been able to mitigate the delivery challenges up to this point.
