Advent Technologies Holdings (NASDAQ: ADNH) is an advanced materials and technology development company that develops, manufactures, and assembles components for hydrogen fuel cells and energy systems. Revenue comes primarily from the sale and servicing of complete fuel cell systems and Membrane Electrode Assemblies (MEAs), plus the sale of membranes and electrodes, with contract liabilities of $3.2 million and recognized revenues of $0.1 million for each of FY2024 and FY2023. The company operates in the alternative fuel and energy storage market, where its High-Temperature Proton Exchange Membrane (HT-PEM) technology competes against battery systems, Low-Temperature PEM products, and diesel generator sets. Advent carries a going-concern qualification as of its FY2024 filing, with recurring operating losses, negative working capital, and material weaknesses in internal controls over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024. Headquarters are in Livermore, California, with MEA fabrication and system production facilities in Livermore, California and Patras, Greece.
