2. Management Discussion and Analysis

2.1 A note from the Management Board

During this second quarter of 2021, business development continued to be designated an essential activity in the markets we serve and our second quarter results reflect a continued commitment to value creation. We announced a share increase in the Maryvale Solar Farm through an asset swap with Canadian Solar and are very excited to advance the project to the construction phase, as a connection agreement is expected to be reached within 12 months. As well as making progress in Australia, we continued to transform our industry, as illustrated by the strategic investment we have recently concluded with RayGen, a company specialising in high-efficiency concentrated PV generation with thermal absorption and storage.

On the financing front, we have achieved a major step towards the funding of our recently announced growth strategy through the placement of 5 million treasury shares for EUR 7.7 million. We are more than ever focussed on expanding our clean electricity generation asset base and building recurring revenue streams from our fully integrated business model and are very pleased to welcome as shareholders Polish and international investors who have participated in the offering and expressed confidence in our growth strategy. Since the beginning of the year 2021, we have been dedicated to supporting it by growing our project pipeline by nearly 187 MWp since the end of 2020 (29 MWp during this quarter) in Poland, Romania and Hungary.

Furthermore, we are proud that our ESG practices have been rated 'very good' by imug | rating. This validates our strategy, which sees sustainability as a key driver of value creation for our Company and formally recognizes our responsible commitment to delivering sustainable outcomes.

Financial Results

While the company reported a significant increase in its consolidated revenues, it was offset by lower profitability YoY, due to a continued capacity expansion and a delay experienced in the grid-connection of our two utility-scale solar farms in Leeton Australia. We closed the second quarter of 2021 with total revenues amounting to an outstanding EUR 9.855 million (+11.0% YoY) thanks to a robust 16.1% increase in revenues from the sale of electricity generated by our proprietary portfolio, while other revenues streams remained essentially unchanged compared to the same quarter last year (+0.6% YoY). The first revenues coming from the electricity generation of our two utilityscale projects in Leeton, Australia, will finally occur in Q3 2021 only as a result of a delay experienced in the commissioning process. The two utility-scale power plants with a combined capacity of 14.6 MWp are the two largest projects we added to our portfolio to date and our first merchant projects providing competitive energy into the Australian energy market. Together they are expected to generate approximately 27.8 GWh of clean energy per year, contributing to further increase our recurring revenues and mitigate the seasonality of our business.

During the quarter, we continued our capacity expansion, mainly expressed in a growing headcount, leading to a EUR 3.898 million EBITDA in Q2 2021 (-6.1% YoY). This investment is crucial for the development of existing business lines as well as new activities. In 2021 only, we were able to expand our project development pipeline to 386 MWp in Hungary, Poland and Romania (approximately 187 MWp added since December 2020) and we have started the procurement phase for the construction of two projects in Hungary this year. Our project development is the foundation to raise our income-generating asset base in the medium- and long-term, driving future growth in recurring electricity-generation revenues, other comprehensive income generated upon plant commissioning according to IAS 16, and capital gains related to project development for resale.

Depreciation increased as a result of the new power plants connected in Hungary over the past 12 months (14.1 MWp), leading to a quarterly EBIT of EUR 0.968 million in Q2 2021 compared to EUR 1.711 million one year ago.

Interest expenses increased to EUR -1.638 million by 31.0% in Q2 2021, due to the refinancing of our last additions to the Hungarian portfolio, our two Australian projects and an additional placement of our EUR Bond in the second half of 2020. Those costs could be partly offset by a positive revaluation of derivatives compared to the same period last year.

Consequently, net profit remained in the red with a net loss of EUR -0.869 million in Q2 2021 compared to a loss of EUR -0.969 million a year ago.

The exchange rate headwinds experienced in 2020 are gradually receding, as we benefited from a positive EUR 1.169 million FX revaluation in Q2 2021 and also benefited from a positive revaluation of derivatives (EUR +0.294 million). As previously the losses, also those gains are non-realized and non-cash gains.

Ultimately, Photon Energy Group managed to post a positive Total Comprehensive Income (TCI) of EUR 0.505 million compared to EUR 1.183 million a year earlier.

The adjusted equity ratio increased to a comfortable level of 32.0%, further to the sale of existing treasury shares for EUR 7.7 million, making our financial situation stable and allowing the company to deliver on its strategic objectives.

Year-to-date, Photon Energy's first six month revenues increased by 1.6% to EUR 14.425 million, while EBITDA and EBIT both decreased to EUR 4.120 million (-25.8% YoY) and EUR -0.507 million (-131.1% YoY), respectively. Photon Energy recorded a net loss of EUR -4.037 million compared to EUR -2.678 million in the first six months of 2020 whereas the TCI amounted to a solid EUR 2.297 million compared to a negative EUR -3.142 million a year ago.

Other key highlights for the second quarter of 2021 up to the reporting date are detailed below:

Project Pipeline Expansion in Hungary, Poland and Romania

Project development is a crucial part of Photon Energy's business model and vision for the future. The progress in our project development efforts in Hungary, Romania and Poland speaks for itself with 187 MWp of new capacity added since the beginning of the year. Thanks to the understanding of these markets provided by our local teams, in combination with the company's global expertise, we were able to build a combined project pipeline of 386 MWp in these countries as of the reporting date. Photon Energy's project development teams have used different strategies in their respective markets to find successes in growing the project pipeline. The Romanian team acquired abandoned projects from 2014 when the government's subsidy program for renewable power plants ended. Reviving these projects that had been left with appropriate zoning permits and issued capacity has allowed the team to substantially increase the pipeline. In the demanding Polish market the team has targeted plots of land in areas with significant potential and added land to the Company's bank through strong back-office support and land scouts. In Hungary, the teams look to continue leveraging previous successes through 2021 by pushing market-leading technologies like trackers and bi-facial modules. This greenfield development strategy allows us to be independent in controlling development costs and technology to be deployed. By managing the permitting process, we can make technology-neutral decisions for the greatest final product flexibility. On the EPC front, we have just signed a contract to install a 1 MWp rooftop PV power plant for an established logistics company in Romania.

Photon Energy Group Increased its Share in Maryvale Solar Farm Through an Asset Swap with Canadian Solar

In Australia, we have announced an exchange of project rights with our development partner Canadian Solar. As a result, we will continue developing the 160 MWp Maryvale Solar Farm with an increased 65% stake in the project, while further development of Gunning Solar Farm and Suntop2 Solar Farm will be handled by Canadian Solar. As part of the transaction, the original local codevelopment partner will continue its work on the project with us. Of the three projects, Maryvale is in the furthest stage of development and we are very excited to undertake preliminary design and grid connection studies. The Company expects this to take approximately six months, followed by a connection agreement which is expected to be reached within 12 months. Maryvale Solar Farm has development approval and is located in the NSW Central-West Orana Renewable Energy Zone, which is earmarked to unlock up to 3 GW of network capacity by the mid-2020s.

Photon Energy Group Participates in RayGen Resources Capital Increase

In the reporting period, the Group announced that it is participating in the capital increase in the Melbourne-based technology company RayGen Resources Pty Ltd (RayGen). Photon Energy Group participated along with AGL, Schlumberger New Energy and Chevron Technology Ventures and other investors in the recent equity raise. The Company entered a strategic partnership with and announced its initial investment in RayGen already in April 2020.

RayGen technology tackles head-on the problem of the intermittency of solar energy, by combining high-efficiency concentrated PV generation with thermal absorption and storage, providing the highest energy density of any solar technology available today. The interest of highly reputable investors and the increased valuation of the company validates our initial investment, and we are convinced that our second investment into RayGen will lead to advances in both optimizing EPC outcomes and on developing utility-scale projects globally.

Acting as a project developer, EPC contractor and – where suitable – as an equity investor in joint projects, Photon Energy Group made an equity investment of AUD 3 million maintaining about 9% in the technology company.

Photon Energy Group successfully raised EUR 7.7 million by offering Its existing shares

On 25 June 2021, the Company announced the results of an offering of its existing treasury shares addressed to qualified investors. In total, 5 million shares were placed at a price of PLN 7.00 per share, which corresponds to the gross amount of PLN 35.0 million (EUR 7.7 million). With the new equity raised, we have achieved a major step towards financing our recently announced growth strategy, with a focus on expanding our clean electricity generation asset base and building recurring revenue streams from our fully integrated business model. We are very pleased to welcome as shareholders Polish and international investors who have participated in the Offering and expressed confidence in our growth strategy. The Offering of 5 million existing treasury shares representing 8.33 % of the Company's share capital increases the free float from 14.36% to 22.69%. The majority shareholders underlined their commitment to the Company by not placing any of their own shares. The Company decided not to place any employee shares in the Offering. Photon Energy Group intends to use the proceeds from the Offering in the acceleration of the plan to grow the business, as outlined in the recently announced 2021-2024 development strategy. By 2024, the Company intends to expand its proprietary PV power plant portfolio from 74.7 MWp as of the end of 2020 to at least 600 MWp of installed capacity in operation. It intends to also control a PV project pipeline of 1.5 GWp and grow its operations and maintenance (O&M) portfolio to 1.0 GWp, as compared to the current total of 300 MWp. As a result of the accelerated growth of the business, the management board expects the 2024 EBITDA to grow by approximately five-fold as compared to 2020 figures. IPOPEMA Securities was acting as the global coordinator and bookrunner, Bankhaus Scheich Wertpapierspezialist AG as CoManager in the Offering.

Photon Energy Group received 'Very Good' rating from Sustainability rating agency imug |rating

The Company received its first sustainability rating, being awarded a rating of 'very good' with 75 out of 100 points by imug | rating, an independent German institution that assessed the Company's policies and activities in the area of sustainability. imug's ratings are attributed based on the following scale: weak, moderate, good, very good, excellent. We are proud that our ESG practices have been rated 'very good' by imug | rating. This validates our strategy, which sees sustainability as a key driver of value creation for our Company. Since it is our mission to make a positive societal contribution through a strong focus on sustainability, we attach much value to this rating as a demonstration of our commitment to transparency and trustworthiness to our stakeholders.

Photon Energy Commissions 14.6 MWp Utility-Scale Solar Farms in Australia

On 10 August 2021, the Company announced that it has commissioned its first two utility-scale PV power plants with a combined capacity of 14.6 MWp in Australia. This latest addition located in Leeton, New South Wales, expands the Group's installed base in Australia to 14.7 MWp and its total proprietary portfolio of PV power plants to 89.3 MWp. The solar farm uses bi-facial PV modules mounted on single-axis trackers and is expected to produce approximately 27.8 GWh of clean electricity per year. The electricity will be sold on the National Electricity Market on a merchant basis, as will the Large Generation Certificates (LGCs) generated by the plant.

2.2 Strategy and its execution

The Group's focus for future growth lays on the established Australian and Hungarian markets and the newly added Polish and Romanian markets for the expansion of PV generation capacity. Further markets in Central Europe, Central and South America, the Middle East, and Africa remain under the Group's investigation.

The Group also intends to continue to disrupt and transform the PV industry. This is illustrated by the recent strategic investments concluded with RayGen, a company specialized in high efficiency concentrated PV generation with thermal absorption and storage, and with Lerta at the end of the reporting period, developing Virtual Power Plant technologies and energy market services.

In addition, the Group's focus remains on expansion of operations & maintenance (O&M) solutions in Central Europe and Australia and selective entry to new markets following its customers, and development of various water treatment technologies and preparation for its commercialization.

The Group's strategic goals include:

  • ► An increase in the production of clean energy by expanding the Group's global electricity generation capacity of the proprietary portfolio of photovoltaic power plants;
  • ► the acquisition of new PV projects to develop, design and construct them for the proprietary portfolio supporting the growth of recurring revenue stream from clean electricity generation with a clear focus on Australia, Hungary, Poland and Romania;

2.3 Principal Risks

The Group has exposure to the following risks:

  • ► Sovereign risk
  • ► Operational risk,
  • ► Currency risk,
  • ► Credit risk,
  • ► Liquidity risk,
  • ► Interest risk,

Sovereign Risk

The Company's results can be adversely affected by political or regulatory developments negatively impacting on the income streams of projects in the portfolio. A number of countries have already succumbed to retroactive measures reneging on existing agreements, guarantees and legislation by imposing levies, cancelling contracts or renegotiating terms unilaterally or by other measures reducing or in the worst case cancelling Feed in Tariffs (FiT) for renewable energy investments. Legal remedies available to compensate investors for expropriation or other takings may be inadequate. Lack of legal certainty exposes projects in the portfolio to increased risk of adverse or unpredictable actions by government officials, and also makes it more difficult for us to enforce existing contracts. In some cases these risks can be partially offset by agreements to arbitrate disputes in an international forum, but the adequacy of this remedy may still depend on the local legal system to enforce the award.

  • ► the expansion of the PPA-business and construction of commercial "behind-the-meter" PV projects for industrial customers and off-takers in Australia and in Europe;
  • ► the Group intends to compete for PV projects, which aim to address the needs for provision of clean energy in locations which require tailor-made approach to design complete energy systems, which would combine generation of clean energy with energy storage solutions; such PV projects require an integrated approach in application of PV technology;
  • ► the provision of O&M services allowing PV power plants to run smoothly at high generation levels and increasing revenues while reducing risks for the Group's customers;
  • ► the procurement and trading of PV components through cooperation with PV technology manufacturers; and
  • ► the remediation of contaminated sites and ground water pollution deploying water treatment technology with a focus on PFAS nano-remediation solutions.

Operational Risk

The economic viability of energy production using photovoltaic power plants installations depends on FiT systems. The FiT system can be negatively affected by a number of factors including, but not limited to, a reduction or elimination in the FiT or green bonus per KWh produced, an elimination or reduction of the indexation of the FiT and a shortening of the period for which the FiT applies to photovoltaic installations. On the investment side the Company faces uncertainty in relation to the approval process for the construction of photovoltaic installations, grid connection and the investment cost per KWp of installed capacity. The operating and financial results of the Company can be seriously affected by a sudden or significant change in the regulatory environment in each of the countries where the Company or its subsidiaries conduct business.

During the fourth quarter of 2010, the Czech parliament and the Czech government approved several changes in the legal framework governing certain aspects of the photovoltaic and other industries. Those changes included mainly: (i) a 3 years solar levy, newly introduced into the Czech tax system, of 26% on the revenues of photovoltaic power plants above 30kW of installed capacity, completed in the years 2009 and 2010, (ii) the abolishment of a six-year corporate income tax exemption for photovoltaic power plants, and (iii) a tenfold increase of the contractual fees previously agreed between the photovoltaic power plant operators and the state Land Fund for the extraction of certain classes of land from the state fund.

In September 2013, additional prolongation of the solar levy was approved. The percentage was decreased to 10% and applicability of this tax prolonged till end of the useful economic life of the power plants. The Company reflected this change in the DCF models for Czech SPVs already as of 30 September 2013. The fair value decrease was reflected in the value of assets, related deferred tax and other comprehensive income in 2013 financial statements.

After opting for its Czech power plants for the green bonus scheme in the years 2016 and 2017, the Group reconsidered this approach and applied again for the feed-in-tariff scheme from 2018 to date.

Currency Risk

The Group is exposed to a currency risk on sales, purchases and borrowings that are denominated in a currency other than the respective functional currencies of Group.

The transactions of the Group entities are denominated in CZK, EUR, AUD, CHF, and HUF mainly. The Group does not manage the foreign currency risk by the use of FX derivatives, it rather uses natural hedging by actively managing FX positions. It is not done in a formalised way.

Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Group's receivables from customers, including the electricity distributors.

Trade and Other Receivables

The Group's exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by individual characteristics of each customer. However, management also considers the demographics of the Group's customer base, including the default risk of the industry and country in which customers operate, as these factors may have an influence on credit risk. In most cases, the Company requires advance payments (partial or 100%) for the delivery of electricity in order to minimise the credit risk. Additionally, in case of new customers, the company looks for market references of the potential customers that are available in public resources. The collections are regularly monitored by the responsible employees and any significant overdue receivables are discussed with the management of the company. Management of the company is responsible for the decision whether allowance is to be created or any other steps need to be performed.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Group held liquid assets of EUR 23,449 thousand at 30 June 2021 (31 December 2020: EUR 14,290 thousand), which represents its maximum credit exposure on these assets. The cash and cash equivalents, liquid assets with restriction on disposition and precious metals are held with banks and financial institution counterparties. Only those banks and financial institutions, which were approved by the members of the board of directors, can be used by the company.

Cash with restriction on disposition of EUR 4,345 thousand as at 30 June 2021 (31 December 2020: EUR 4,109 thousand) includes mainly DSRA and MRA (debt service restricted accounts and maintenance restricted accounts for Czech, Slovak, Hungarian and Australian SPVs and guarantees issued.

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Group's approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Group's reputation.

Interest Risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates. It is measured by the extent to which changes in market interest rates impact on net interest expense. The Company uses interest rate derivatives for managing the interest rate risk.

Slovak and majority of refinanced Hungarian SPVs, consolidated in full or by using the equity method by the Group, own interest rate derivatives used for hedging. The purpose of the derivatives is to hedge against movement of interest rates. Concluding the derivative contracts was one of conditions required by financing banks as defined in the Loan contracts.

The change in fair value of these derivatives is recognized via equity of the Company and the result is shown in hedging reserve of the Company's equity.

The Czech SPVs financed with RL own interest rate derivatives. Concluding the derivative contract was one of conditions required by the financing bank as defined in the Loan contract. The change in value of these derivatives is recognized via Profit and loss as they do not meet criteria for the hedging derivatives.

COVID-19 Impact

COVID-19 impact is the impact the pandemic of the Corona virus may have on the business activity of the Group. With the outbreak of the Corona virus the Group has implemented continuity plans as well as health and safety procedures to ensure that all employees and contractors are safe and compliant with government directives. In particular, the electricity generation segment of 84 PV power plants with a total installed capacity of 74.7 MWp was producing electricity as usual. For both newly comissioned PV power plants in Australia with a total installed capacity of 14.6 MWpthe same is expected. The Operations & Maintenance business, is capable of providing its services either from homeoffices, and if necessary, on-site as far as possible. The other business lines such as EPC services, PV component trading and project development are more vulnerable to these exceptional circumstances but did not come to a stall. In all main markets of the Group highly skilled local teams remain focused on minimizing the impact on the ongoing business as well as various growth initiatives. The extent of the negative impact will depend on the further nature and length of measures taken by the respective governments in the countries where the Group is active.

For the remaining six month of the financial year, the management of the group does not foresee any other than the above described principle risks and uncertainties.

O&M services

Photon Energy remained focused on further expanding its Operations & Maintenance business in Europe. As of the end of Q2 2021, full O&M services contracts amounted to approximately 247.1 MWp, down by 2.2% YOY. This can be broken down geographically into 135.3 MWp operated in the Czech Republic, 77.1 MWp in Hungary, 15.3 MWp in Slovakia, 15.0 MWp in Romania and 4.5 MWp in Australia. The O&M portfolio divides into 172.5 MWp serviced for external clients and 74.7 MWp of PV capacity from the proprietary portfolio.

2.5 Reporting on Photon Energy's project pipeline

Project development is a crucial activity in Photon Energy's business model of covering the entire value chain of PV power plants. The main objective of project development activities is to expand the PV proprietary portfolio, which provides recurring revenues and free cash flows to the Group. For financial or strategic reasons Photon Energy may decide to cooperate with third-party investors either on a joint-venture basis or with the goal of exiting the projects to such investors entirely. Ownership of project rights provides Photon Energy with a high level of control and allows locking in EPC (one-off) and O&M (long-term) the Group is servicing 62.2 MWp of central inverters (+3.3% compared to last year). In detail, at the end of Q2 2021, the total capacity of central inverters serviced can be divided regionally into 21.3 MWp in France, 14.0 MWp in Italy, 10.2 MWp in Belgium, 7.5 MWp in the Czech Republic, 5.5 MWp in Slovakia, 2.0 MWp in Slovenia and 1.8 MWp in Germany. In some countries like France or Germany the Group is holding a leading market position while in Belgium in particular, the Group is servicing all of the Satcon inverters ever installed.

As far as the "Inverter Cardio" services contracts are concerned,

services. Hence, project development is a key driver for Photon Energy's future growth. The Group's experience in project development and financing in the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Germany, Italy and Hungary is an important factor in selecting attractive markets and reducing the inherent risks related to project development.

Photon Energy is currently developing PV projects in Australia (160.0 MWp), Hungary (96.5 MWp), Romania (196.1 MWp) and Poland (93.1 MWp), and is evaluating further markets for opportunities.

*Development phases are described in the glossary available at the end of this chapter.

PV projects have two definitions of capacity. The grid connection capacity is expressed as the maximum of kilowatts or megawatts which can be fed into the grid at any point in time. Electricity grids run on alternating current (AC). Solar modules produce direct current (DC), which is transformed into AC by inverters. Heat, cable lines, inverters and transformers lead to energy losses in the system be-tween the solar modules and the grid connection point. Cumulatively system losses typically add up to 15-20%. Therefore, for a given grid connection capacity a larger module capacity (expressed in Watt peak – Wp) can be installed without exceeding the grid connection limit. At times of extremely high production, inverters can reduce the volume of electricity so that the plant stays within the grid connection limits. Photon Energy will refer to the installed DC capacity of projects expressed in Megawatt peak (MWp) in its reporting, which might fluctuate over the project development process.

Australia

As of the date of publishing this report, Photon Energy has one large scale solar farm under development and for two projects the commissioning finished in New South Wales ("NSW).

On 13 April, the Company announced an agreement to exchange project rights with its development partner Canadian Solar. As a result, Photon Energy will continue developing the 160 MWp Maryvale Solar Farm project independently, while further development of Gunning Solar Farm and Suntop 2 Solar Farm projects will be handled by Canadian Solar.

Until that date, these three projects were co-developed with Canadian Solar as part of an agreement concluded in 2018 (to date, two other projects, Suntop 1 with 189MW and Gunnedah with 146MW, have been successfully developed and sold in the scope of this agreement):

Under the terms of the agreement, Photon Energy has exchanged its 49% stake in the 220 MWp Gunning Solar Farm project and 25% stake in the 200 MWp Suntop2 Solar Farm project for Canadian Solar's stake in the Maryvale Solar Farm project. As part of the transaction, the Company now possesses a 65% stake and the original local co-development partner will continue its work on the project holding a 35% stake in the project.

Of the three projects, Maryvale is in the furthest stages of development. The Company expects to undertake preliminary design and grid connection studies followed by a Connection Agreement which is expected to be reached early next year.

Maryvale Solar Farm has development approval and is located in the NSW Central-West Orana Renewable Energy Zone, which is earmarked to unlock up to 3 GW of network capacity by the mid-2020s.

Development status for Maryvale (160 MWp): Development Approval was granted on 4 December 2019. The grid connection options are still in progress with Essential Energy. We are currently preparing for Grid Protection Study (GPS) and it is expected that project development can be completed within Q1 2022.

The current status of other projects developed by Photon Energy is summarized below:

Leeton and Fivebough (Total capacity 14.6 MWp): In May 2020, Photon Energy announced the conclusion of an agreement with Infradebt for the project debt financing of the two PV power plants we are developing in Leeton, with a grid connection capacity of 4.95 MWp AC and an installed capacity of 7.3 MWp DC each.

Photon Energy Engineering Australia Pty Ltd. is acting as engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contractor for both projects. After commissioning long-term O&M services will be provided by Photon Energy Operations Australia Pty Ltd.

The plants' bi-facial PV modules are mounted on singleaxis trackers and will supply the produced electricity to Essential Energy's distribution network as non-scheduled generators. The combined annual electricity production of both PV power plants is forecast to be 27.8 GWh, and will be sold on the National Electricity Market on a merchant basis, as will the Large Generation Certificates (LGCs) generated by the plants. No power purchase agreements (PPAs) have been entered into by Photon Energy.

These are the two largest projects to be added to Photon Energy's portfolio to date, and our first merchant projects providing competitive energy into the market. The experience we gain in operating the power plants will be used to maximise revenues in the energy market.

Construction status: The project works have been completed and we have finalised the commissioning process as of the date of this report. Both projects are feeding electricity into the grid.

and GPS studies and issues the license to feed electricity to the grid. AEMO also controls the on-going power generation to
make sure that grid stability is maintained.

Hungary

Below is a short summary of projects in the pipeline and of the progress achieved in the reporting period.

Tolna (28.6 MWp): The thirteen projects with a total planned installed DC capacity of 28.6 MWp are located in the Tolna region in the south of Hungary. Two power plants have a grid connection capacity of 5.0 MW AC each, whereas 1 MW AC have been secured for each of the remaining eleven projects. The grid connection points have been secured and the negotiations for suitable land plots have been finalized for several projects. Grid connection plans have been initiated and already partially approved, to allow us to conclude grid connection agreements with E.ON. with a validity of two years.

On 8 December 2020, one of the 1MW AC (approx. 1.4 MWp DC) project was granted a METAR premium of 24,470 HUF/MWh (approx. EUR 68 per MWh) with a maximum supported production of 21,585 MWh over a period of up to 15 years. This achievement results from the approval of the project application to the first pilot tender for the METAR system organized in September 2019. 3 other projects have entered into advanced development after secured the binding extraction and construction permits. The local development team is now actively working securing the connection cable consents including easements and final administration documents (Unified Small Power Plant License). Two Projects have entered the procurement phase for EPC materials with planned construction until the end of 2021.

The revenue model will either take the form of a contractfor-difference based on METÁR licenses (for projects proving successful through an auction process in the future), a PPA, or the direct sale of electricity through a trader on the Hungarian electricity market. Construction plans include the use of tracking technology allowing bi-facial solar modules to follow the course of the sun, which are expected to achieve a 15-20% higher specific performance than fixed installations.

Now the team has solidified grid capacity, land, and a commercial structure, the projects will continue to take shape as they move towards construction and realization.

The current project pipeline in Hungary consists of 17 projects with a total planned capacity of 96.5 MWp.

Photon Energy N.V. Management Report for Q2 2021

2.8. Financial statement analysis

Profit and Loss statement

While the company reported a significant increase in its consolidated revenues, it was offset by lower profitability YoY, due to a continued capacity expansion and a delay experienced in the grid-connection of our two utility-scale solar farms in Leeton Australia. We closed the second quarter of 2021 with total revenues amounting to an outstanding EUR 9.855 million (+11.0% YoY) thanks to a robust 16.1% increase in revenues from the sale of electricity generated by our proprietary portfolio, while other revenues streams essentially unchanged compared to the same quarter last year (+0.6% YoY). The first revenues coming from the electricity generation of our two utility-scale projects in Leeton, Australia, will finally occur in Q3 2021 only as a result of a delay experienced in the commissioning process. The two utility-scale power plants with a combined capacity of 14.6 MWp are the two largest projects we added to our portfolio to date and our first merchant projects providing competitive energy into the Australian energy market. Together they are expected to generate approximately 27.8 GWh of clean energy per year, contributing to further increase our recurring revenues and mitigate the seasonality of our business.

During the quarter, we continued our capacity expansion, mainly expressed in a growing headcount, leading to a EUR 3.898 million EBITDA in Q2 2021 (-6.1% YoY). This investment is crucial for the development of existing business lines as well as new activities. In 2021 only, we were able to expand our project development pipeline to 386 MWp in Hungary, Poland and Romania (approximately 187 MWp added since December 2020) and have started the procurement phase for the construction of two projects in Hungary this year. Our project development is the foundation to raise our income-generating asset base in the medium- and long-term, driving future growth in recurring electricity-generation revenues, other comprehensive income generated upon plant commissioning according to IAS 16, and capital gains related to project development for resale.

Depreciation increased as a result of the new power plants connected in Hungary over the past 12 months (14.1 MWp), leading to a quarterly EBIT of EUR 0.968 million in Q2 2021 compared to EUR 1.711 million one year ago.

Interest expenses increased to EUR -1.638 million by 31.0% in Q2 2021, due to the refinancing of our last additions to the Hungarian portfolio, Australian projects and an additional placement of our EUR Bond in the second half of 2020. Those costs could be partly offset by a positive revaluation of derivatives compared to the same period last year.

Logically, net profit remained in the red with a net loss of EUR -0.869 million in Q2 2021 compared to a loss of EUR -0.969 million a year ago.

The exchange rate headwinds experienced in 2020 are gradually receding, as we benefited from a positive EUR 1.169 million FX revaluation in Q2 2021and also benefited from a positive revaluation of derivatives (EUR +0.294 million). As previously the losses, also those gains are non-realized and non-cash gains.

The data presented above are based on published quarterly reports, with figures adjusted to be consistent with the annual audited figures for 2020 made available after the publication of the 4th quarter.

Balance Sheet

Switching to the balance sheet, Total fixed assets amounted to EUR 140.049 million at the end of Q2 2021, representing an increase of 3.7% compared to the end of 2020. This development is mainly connected to a revaluation of our equity investment in Raygen resulting from the company's capital increase announced during the reporting period.

Current assets increased by 55.8% compared to the end of 2020 to EUR 37.169 million as of the end of Q2 2021, resulting primarily from an increase in receivables and to an increase in Liquid assets further to the sale of existing treasury shares for EUR 7.652 million.

Long term liabilities increased by 10.6% compared to the end of 2020 to EUR 114.582 million at the end of Q2 2021, due to an

Changes in equity

Equity increased by 28.7% compared to the end of 2020 and amounted to EUR 51.573 million at the end of Q2 2021, reflecting the Total Comprehensive Income for the period and the placement of treasury shares in June. The adjusted equity ratio increased to a solid 32.0%.

Cash Flow

In Q2 2021, the Group posted a positive operating cash flow, which amounted to EUR 1,266 million, compared to EUR 2.903 million in Q2 2020, mainly driven by adjustments in the net working capital and by a lower profit before taxation.

2.9 Financial forecasts

The Company does not publish financial forecasts.

increase in bank loans related to the refinancing drawdowns for our power plants in Hungary in accordance with financing plans already in Q1 2021. As a reminder, our business model involves a large part of bank financing at the project level, where debt/equity ratios reach up to 80/20. Non-recourse financing is aligned with the life cycle of the power plants and is very long term, up to 15 years. Thus a higher level of debt is a specific of our industry.

Current liabilities amounted to EUR 11.061 million at the end of Q2 2021, corresponding to a -27.3% decrease compared to the end of 2020, mainly due to a decrease in trade and other payables.

Financial cash flow amounted to EUR 3.861 million in Q2 2021, compared to EUR 7.747 million in Q2 2020, mainly coming from the proceeds from the placement of treasury shares which were compensated by scheduled and extraordinary repayments of bank financing and interest expenses.

Investment cash flow was negative and equalled to EUR -3.614 million in Q2 2021 compared to EUR -3.731 million in Q2 2020, mainly related to work in progress in Australia, an investment in gold and the revaluation of our investment in Raygen.

Overall, the cash position improved to EUR 16.074 million at the end of Q2 2021 compared to EUR 14.563 million the end of Q1 2021.

7. Segment Reporting

An operating segment is a component of the Group that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues or incur expenses, including revenues and expenses that relate to transactions with any of the Group's other components. All operating segments' operating results are reviewed regularly by the Group's management and Board of directors to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and to assess its performance, and for which discrete financial information is available. The chief operating decision maker (CODM) has been identified as the Board of Directors and the CFO of the Group.

The Board of Directors identified the following segments to be reported:

Solutions: Development, engineering and construction services of-turn-key photovoltaic systems' installations for external clients and Photon Energy). This segment was formerly named Energy Solutions and included as well wholesale of technology, which became due to its size an own reportable segment. Further activities of project development were taken out of this segment and are reported

  • ► On 11 February 2021, Photon Energy N.V. became 12,01% shareholder of Lerta S.A.,
  • ► On 8 March 2021, Photon Energy N.V. acquired by share swap additional 40.01% and currently holds 65% stake of MARYVALE SOLAR FARM Pty. Ltd. In exchange Photon Energy N.V. swapped it's 49.00% shares of GUNNING SOLAR FARM Pty. Ltd. and it's 24.99% shares of SUNTOP Stage 2 Solar Farm Pty. Ltd.,

The Group now possesses a 65% stake in the Maryvale Solar Farm and will work with its original local co-development partner (which owns the remaining 35% stake) to undertake preliminary design and grid connection studies, followed by a connection agreement which is expected to be reached within 12 months.

Overall result from the disposal amounted to loss of EUR 79 thousand.

Disposals in H1 of 2020

There were no disposals during H1 of 2020.

now under "Others", since the nature of the activity changed from purely internal development for our own projects to project development for external partners,

  • Technology: Wholesale, import and export of FVE components,
  • Investments: Investment into photovoltaic power plants and generation of revenues from production of electricity (this segment includes SPV that finished building of photovoltaic power plants and those that are connected to the distribution network and produce electricity). Previously this segment was split into "Production of Electricity" and "PV Investments" as those income is generated by the same assets,
  • Operations & Maintenance: Operations, maintenance and PVPP supervision. This segment includes also the services of Inverter Cardio and Monitoring and Control,
  • Other segments: Other, not related to any of the above mentioned segments. Others include project development, water technology and remediation services and other less

significant activities. None of these activities meets any of the quantitative thresholds for determining reportable segments in neither 2020 nor 2019.

Segment results that are reported include items directly attributable to a segment as well as those that can be allocated on a reasonable basis. Interest income, interest expense and income tax charges are allocated directly to the segments. Segment capital expenditure is the total cost incurred during the reporting period to acquire property, plant and equipment, and intangible assets other than goodwill.

Factors that Management Used to Identify the Reportable Segments

The Group's segments are strategic business units that focus on different business activities. They are managed separately because each business unit requires different processes.

Measurement of Operating Segment Profit or Loss, Assets and Liabilities

The Group's management and directors review financial information prepared based on IFRS as adopted by EU adjusted to meet the requirements of internal reporting. The financial information does not differ from IFRS as adopted by EU.

The Group's management and directors evaluate the segments based on total comprehensive income which is considered to be the key measure.

During the six month period to 30 June 2021, there have been no changes from prior periods in the measurement methods used to determine operating segments and reported segment profit or loss.

The revenues and profit generated by each of the Group's operating segments and segment assets and liabilities are summarised as follows:

The Group uses various revenue models for PVP generating revenues from sale of electricity – fixed feed in tariffs, contracts for difference, and going forward the merchant model.

Revenues from sales of electricity from fixed feed-in-tariffs in first half of 2021 amounted to EUR 8,088 thousand (H1 2020: EUR 7,255 thousand, 2020: EUR 13,531 thousand) and revenues from sales of electricity from contract for difference revenue model amounted to EUR 354 thousand (H1 of 2020: EUR 0, 2020: EUR 37 thousand). There was no sale of electricity for PVP with merchant model in 1 half of the years 2021 nor 2020.

As the Group operates in regulated business under various models for PVP revenues from sales of electricity, the Group invoices the revenues from sale of electricity to different partners, including government agencies which in fact does not receive any generated electricity, such as the short-term electricity market operator OKTE, a.s. ("OKTE") in Slovakia. Total amount of compensations for sales from electricity generation invoiced to OKTE in first half of 2021 amounted to EUR 1,386 thousand (H1 of 2020: EUR 1,603 thousand, 2020: EUR 2,811 thousand).

Even though the revenues were invoiced in 2021 and 2020 to government agency, the Group does not consider them to be government grants and recognised them as revenues from sale of electricity as these revenues are representing core activity of the Group and are clearly linked to revenue model that is determined for each PVP.

17. Fair Value Disclosures

Fair value measurements are analysed by level in the fair value hierarchy as follows:

  • Level 1 are measurements at quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities,
  • Level 2 measurements are valuations techniques with all material inputs observable for the asset or liability, either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices), and
  • Level 3 measurements are valuations not based on observable market data (that is, unobservable inputs). Management applies judgement in categorising financial instruments using the fair value hierarchy. If a fair value measurement uses observable inputs that require significant adjustment, that measurement is a Level 3 measurement. The significance of a valuation input is assessed against the fair value measurement in its entirety.

The fair values of financial assets and liabilities together with the carrying amounts shown in the statement of financial position are as follows. For the other financial assets/financial liabilities, the fair value approximates the carrying amount.

17.1 Recurring Fair Value Measurements

Recurring fair value measurements are those that the accounting standards require or permit in the statement of financial position at the end of each reporting period. The level in the fair value hierarchy into which the recurring fair value measurements are categorised are as follows:

Property, plant equipment - The DCF Equity valuation method is based on a Discounted Cash Flow method. It includes the future cash flows available to the shareholders/providers of equity of photovoltaic projects (i.e. after all debt repayments and interests) that are later discounted by relevant discount rates (Levered Cost of Equity). The risk profile is represented by a discount rate (Levered Cost of Equity). Due to existence of senior project finance the cost of equity calculated by CAPM formula is adjusted by Miller-Modigliani formula to achieve the most precise cost of equity levered for each project respecting it unique capital structure.

In the valuation model, a quarterly discount is applied. This is based on the fact that debt repayments are happening on quarterly basis. This is effecting the overall change in financing structure and indirectly affecting cost of equity levered.

The used Levered Cost of Equity rates to discount estimated cash flows, vary between countries from 7% to 11% for 2020 (2019: 7% to 11%).

All financial assets and financial liabilities have been defined to Level 2.

The fair values in level 2 and level 3 of the fair value hierarchy were estimated using the discounted cash flows valuation technique.

Financial Assets Carried at Amortised Cost

The fair value of floating rate instruments is normally their carrying amount. The estimated fair value of fixed interest rate instruments is based on estimated future cash flows expected to be received discounted at current interest rates for new instruments with similar credit risks and remaining maturities. Discount rates used depend on the credit risk of the counterparty.

Liabilities Carried at Amortised Cost

The fair value of issued bonds is based on quoted market prices. Fair values of other liabilities were determined using valuation techniques.

18. Presentation of Financial Instruments by Measurement Category

For the purposes of measurement, IFRS 9 Financial Instruments classifies financial assets into the following categories: (a) financial assets at FVTPL; (b) debt instruments at FVOCI, (c) equity instruments at FVOCI and (c) financial assets at AC. Financial assets at FVTPL have two sub-categories: (i) assets mandatorily measured at FVTPL, and (ii) assets designated as such upon initial recognition. In addition, finance lease receivables form a separate category.

The following table provides a reconciliation of financial assets with these measurements:

20. Subsequent Events

Prolongation and Reduction of the Support Mechanism in Slovakia

In July 2021 the Slovak government passed a new amendment to the Act on renewable energy support that decreases and prolongs the subsidy for the electricity produced by renewable resources by 5 years. The new conditions are valid from 1 January 2022. The Group does not expect any negative impacts on the valuation of the SK power plants and therefore no impairment provisions not revaluation have been recorded in the interim financial statements prepared as at 30 June 2021.

Photon Energy Commissions 14.6 MWp Utility-Scale Solar Farms in Australia

On 10 August 2021, the Company announced that it has commissioned its first two utility-scale PV power plants with a combined capacity of 14.6 MWp in Australia. This latest addition located in Leeton, New South Wales, expands the Group's installed base in Australia to 14.7 MWp and its total proprietary portfolio of PV power plants to 89.3 MWp. The solar farm uses bi-facial PV modules mounted on single-axis trackers and is expected to produce approximately 27.8 GWh of clean electricity per year. The electricity will be sold on the National Electricity Market on a merchant basis, as will the Large Generation Certificates (LGCs) generated by the plant.
