Henry Charrabé, Managing Director and CEO of Fluence commented:

"Over the first quarter of 2018, Fluence has achieved new contract wins in new regions that will support our accelerated growth objectives for this year. We are investing in our partner relationships and have recently created the new role of Chief Marketing Officer to strengthen our global sales efforts and build on our existing partner relationships.

"The technologies Fluence has developed can be deployed cost-effectively, quickly and with more flexibility than alternative solutions available in the market. This was evidenced by the deployment of a Nirobox SW unit in the Philippines, which was installed and operational within one week of receiving the order.

"Water scarcity is a global issue that affects people and governments around the world. There are multiple opportunities in the pipeline and we expect this to build over time. It was encouraging that we were recently able to achieve financial close on the US$48 million San Quintin water desalination project in Mexico. In addition to the construction component, this project will also provide Fluence with recurring revenues from a 30-year operating and maintenance agreement."
