Pegasus Digital Mobility Acquisition Corp. ("Pegasus") has received preliminary, unaudited financial statements from Gebr. Schmid GmbH about the Schmid Group. In the investor presentation filed on the Current report on Form 8-K dated January 29, 2024 as Exhibit 99.2, the estimated EBITDA (as reported) for fiscal year 2023 was forecast to be EUR 44 million while the estimated recurring EBITDA (adjusted for a one-time non-operational impairment, other income from earn-outs from divestitures and a one-time non-operational impairment as well as de-SPAC related costs) was forecast to be EUR 20 million. Based on the preliminary, unaudited financial statements, the EBITDA (as reported) is estimated to be EUR 39.1 million and the recurring EBITDA (adjusted for the same items) is thus estimated to be EUR 16.7 million. The Schmid Group informed us that the key differences between the estimates included in the investor presentation published on January 29, 2024 and the preliminary, unaudited financial statements are (i) sales revenue from a significant milestone that will be recognized as revenue in 2024 instead of the fourth quarter of 2023 and (ii) an application of IFRS 16 in relation to a sale and leaseback transaction, which resulted in a realized profit of only EUR 0.5 million in 2023 and a deferral of the remaining profit contributions over the term (compared to a forecasted profit in 2023 of EUR 2.5 million in the investor presentation published on January 29, 2024).
The board of directors of Pegasus has on April 22, 2024 decided to re-open the redemption option for the Class A shareholders of Pegasus who want to redeem their Class A ordinary shares for the redemption share price. This re-opened redemption possibility will open on 9am Eastern Time (ET) on April 23, 2024 and close on 5pm Eastern Time (ET) on April 24, 2024. Redemptions can be made following the procedures set out in the Definitive Proxy Statement (as defined below).
