2. Management discussion and analysis

2.1 A note from the management board

Having achieved record revenues and earnings by driving strong growth across all our business lines in the first half of 2022, this year will probably go down in the Company's history as a truly pivotal period. In this Q2 reporting period only, we more than doubled our revenues YOY to a record level of EUR 23.229 million, while boosting our EBITDA by 108.3% to EUR 8.119 million and turning into the black at the pre-tax and after-tax levels. Considering this robust performance observed across our businesses in the first half of 2022, combined with our business outlook and solid project pipeline, we updated the Group's revenue expectations for the year 2022 to EUR 85 million from our previous guidance of up to EUR 65 million, and the Group's EBITDA target to EUR 24 million from our previous guidance of up to EUR 18 million.

During this first half year, we demonstrated our ability to rapidly adjust to changing market conditions by deciding to temporarily switch most of the Group's Hungarian power plants to the merchant model, meaning without any state support. As a result, revenues from the sale of electricity generated by the Group's growing portfolio benefited from the high electricity prices experienced globally. Selling electricity into the market is now a core part of our strategy which represents 83% of our total proprietary portfolio. Increases in other revenue streams were also experienced, mainly driven by the great momentum in the Group's PV component trading business, which distributes modules, inverters, and batteries.

On the project development front, we commissioned a 1.4 MWp power plant in Hungary and are progressing well with the construction of our first five power plants in Romania. Our first project in the country, where we plan to build 32 MWp by the end of the year, is starting to take shape as we have just completed the mounting structures and installed half of the total of 10,600 solar modules. The Company is currently developing utility-scale PV projects with a combined capacity of over 820 MWp in its key CEE markets and Australia.

As to our presence on capital markets, the second quarter of 2022 has been an exciting period, with the tap of our EUR green bond 2021/27 for EUR 10 million and the issuance of three BUY recommendations for our shares from three Research houses: AlsterResearch (Germany), WOOD &Company (Czech Republic) and IPOPEMA (Poland).

The current economic backdrop strengthens our results, directly affected by the sharp increase in energy prices and incurring a growing demand for renewable electricity generation technology (impacting our trading business) as replacement of traditional fossil sources. While we are embracing this environment to accelerate our transformation, we have an obligation to remain vigilant though, to respond to changing business conditions while not losing sight of our long-term goals and opportunities.

Financial results

The Group's second quarter results demonstrated exciting progress with consolidated revenues of EUR 23.229 million reported in the second quarter of the year 2022 (+135.7% YOY), and EUR 32.367 million for the first half year (+124.4% YOY). This increase in revenues is primarily connected with higher revenues from the production of electricity generated by our new power plants operating on a merchant basis (1.4 MWp connected to the grid in December 2021 and 14.6 MWp in August 2021), as well as the high electricity prices on the market-linked direct sales component of the "Green Bonus" support scheme, into which the Czech portfolio switched at the beginning of the year. The Company also took important steps to underpin the growth of its business, including the decision to temporarily switch most of the Group's Hungarian IPP portfolio to a merchant model, representing 46.2 MWp out of the Company's 51.8 MWp Hungarian portfolio. Starting from April 2022, these power plants are not dependent on any kind of support mechanism. As a result, the Company saw revenues from the sale of electricity generated by the Group's growing portfolio benefit from rising electricity prices globally.

Besides the outstanding revenues from electricity production of EUR 10.963 million (+59.2% YOY), this strong outcome was driven by a remarkable increase in other revenue streams (EUR 12.266 million, +313.2% YOY). The latter was mainly attributable to the great momentum experienced by the Company's component trading business line, which distributes modules, inverters and now batteries, outshining a relatively more modest growth in O&M and EPC revenues.

This strong business performance led to a consolidated EBITDA improvement by 108.3% to EUR 8.119 million and resulted in a record Q2 EBIT of EUR 4.640 million compared to EUR 0.968 million in the same period last year by even absorbing the booking of a provision for the Hungarian windfall taxes adopted by the Hungarian government retrospectively in June 2022.

Most importantly, the Company turned around a EUR -0.565 million loss before taxation recorded in Q2 2021 to an outstanding EUR 2.619 million profit in Q2 2022, as well as its net profit with EUR 2.030 million achieved during the reporting period (vs. a EUR -0.869 million net loss in Q2 2021).

Despite a negative Other Comprehensive Income (OCI), affected by a weakening Hungarian Forint (HUF), the Company still reports an increased positive consolidated total comprehensive income for the quarter amounting to EUR 0.546 million, compared to EUR 0.505 million last year for the same period.

Year-to-date, Photon Energy closed a record first half of the year with revenues amounting to EUR 32.367 million, representing a 124.4% increase YOY, raised its EBITDA by 146.2% YOY to EUR 10.143 million. EBIT swung from a loss of EUR -0.507 million to a profit of EUR 5.609 million. Photon Energy recorded a net profit of EUR 0.539 million compared to a EUR -4.037 million loss in the first half of 2021. At the bottom line, TCI amounted to EUR 2.335 million compared to EUR 2.297 million a year ago. The adjusted equity ratio remained at a sound level of 29.3%.

Strong execution in Q2 drives full-year 2022 guidance upgrade

In the first half of the year, the continuing execution of our strategy yielded strong results: as of the end of Q2 2022, the Trailing twelvemonth Revenues and EBITDA amounted to EUR 54.301 million and EUR 15.606 million, respectively, putting us on the right trajectory to exceed our guidance for 2022.

Considering the robust performance observed across our businesses in the first half of 2022, combined with our business outlook and our solid project pipeline, we updated the Group's revenue expectations for the year 2022 to EUR 85 million from its previous guidance of up to EUR 65 million, representing a 133.8% (previously 78.8%) increase compared to audited revenues of EUR 36.4 million in 2021. As a result, the Group's EBITDA target was raised to EUR 24 million from its previous guidance of up to EUR 18 million, representing a +150.4% YOY (previously 87.8%).

Other key highlights for the second quarter of 2022 up to the reporting date are detailed below:

Photon Energy switches 43.5 MWp of its Hungarian PV portfolio to merchant electricity sales

From 1 April 2022 the Group has temporarily switched all Hungarian PV power plants in its proprietary portfolio receiving support on the basis of KÁT-licenses and METÁR-KÁT-licenses to selling the produced electricity on the Hungarian day-ahead-market to benefit from the currently much higher electricity prices effective from 1 April 2022.

Government Decree No 787/2021 (XII.27.), published in the Hungarian Official Gazette on 27 December 2021, which came into effect on 1 January 2022, allows PV power plants to temporarily exit the support schemes and to return to the respective support scheme at any time after a 12-month-period.

The Group also permanently opted out of six of ten METÁR licenses for its PV power plants in Puspokladány and will be selling the produced electricity on the Hungarian day-ahead-market to benefit from the currently much higher electricity prices.

Photon Energy's portfolio of KÁT- and METÁR-KÁT-licensed PV power plants consists of 51 units with a total installed capacity of 35.0 MWp. The six METÁR-licensed PV power plants which have permanently exited the support scheme have a combined installed capacity of 8.5 MWp and the four METÁR-licensed PV power plants remaining in the support scheme have a total installed capacity of 5.6 MWp.

The Management Board of the Group is convinced that based on the current electricity market outlook for the following 24-36 months this mostly reversible exit from the Hungarian support scheme strongly improves the Group's profitability and maximizes the return on investment on its Hungarian portfolio.

Photon Energy Group Expands its IPP Portfolio to 92 MWp

During the reporting period, the Group completed and grid-connected its second photovoltaic power plant near the municipality of Tolna, Hungary. This latest addition of 1.4 MWp expands the Company's portfolio of proprietary power plants in Hungary to a total of 63, with a combined capacity of 51.8 MWp. Globally, the Company now owns and operates 88 power plants with a combined capacity of 91.9 MWp.

The new power plant extends over 2.8 hectares and uses bi-facial PV modules mounted on single-axis trackers. Connected to the grid of E.ON Dél-dunántúli Áramhálózati Zrt., the installation is expected to generate around 2.1 GWh of clean electricity per year. Given the current market price developments, the original expected revenues of EUR 440,000 in the next 12 months will be significantly outperformed.

The total investment into the development and construction of the power plant was EUR 1.0 million and was financed by the proceeds of Photon Energy Group's 6.50% Green EUR Bond 2021/27, with a placed volume of EUR 65.0 million.

The Company developed the project fully in-house and delivered engineering, procurement and construction services through its subsidiary Photon Energy Solutions HU Kft. Photon Energy Operations HU Kft. – another of the Group's subsidiaries – is providing long-term monitoring, operations and maintenance services to the power plant.

Photon Energy breaks ground on five solar projects in Romania

We are very excited to have broken ground for five Romanian PV power plants with a combined generation capacity of 16.5 MWp. High-efficiency bifacial solar modules mounted on single-axis trackers will deliver around 25.1 GWh of renewable energy annually to the grid. The electricity generated will be sold on the energy market on a merchant basis, without any support or a power purchase agreement with an energy offtaker. The new power plants are scheduled to commence operations in the fourth quarter of 2022.

Those five power plants in Siria, Aiud, and Calafat mark an important step in our efforts to commission a total capacity of around 32 MWp in Romania by the end of 2022. These new assets will expand our IPP (independent power producer) portfolio to over 120 MWp by the end of the year.

Upon the commissioning of these five plants, the Company will own and operate 93 solar power plants with a combined generation capacity of 108.3 MWp as part of its IPP portfolio, of which a combined 96 MWp will be selling clean electricity directly on the energy market.

The Company is currently developing utility-scale PV projects with a combined capacity of over 820 MWp in its key CEE markets and Australia, including 235 MWp in Romania. The remaining project development pipeline in Romania is expected to be built and commissioned in 2023 and 2024 and thus the Romanian market will contribute significantly to the Company's goal of expanding its IPP portfolio to at least 600 MWp globally by the end of 2024.

Photon Energy Share Receives 'Buy' Recommendations from AlsterResearch, WOOD & Company, and IPOPEMA

During the reporting period, the Company's stock has been given a 'buy' recommendation by AlsterResearch, a Hamburg-based research house specialising in small and mid-caps.

O&M services

Photon Energy remained focused on delivering Operations & Maintenance services. As of the end of Q2 2022, full O&M services contracts amounted to approximately 250.3 MWp (+1.3% YOYD). This can be broken down geographically into 94.9 MWp operated in the Czech Republic, 102.1 MWp in Hungary, 15.3 MWp in Slovakia, 24.1 MWp in Australia, 4.0 MWp in Romania and 9.9 MWp in Poland. The O&M portfolio divides into 158.4 MWp serviced for external clients and 91.9 MWp of PV capacity from the proprietary portfolio.

As far as the "Inverter Cardio" services contracts are concerned, the Group is servicing 60.2 MWp of central inverters (-3.2% compared to Q2 2021). In detail, at the end of Q2 2022, the total capacity of central inverters serviced can be divided regionally into 18.3 MWp in France, 6.0 MWp in Italy, 9.7 MWp in Belgium, 17.0

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) services. Hence, project development is a key driver for Photon Energy's future growth. The

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.

After the end of the reporting period, the conclusion of full O&M services contracts in Hungary (+16.8 MWp) brought the total capacity under O&M contract (full O&M services and Inverter Cardio services contracts) to 327.3 MWp (vs. 310.5 MWp as of 30 June 2022).

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 (300.0 MWp), Hungary (25.8 MWp), Romania (235.4 MWp) and Poland (263.9 MWp) and is evaluating further markets for opportunities.

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

During the reporting period, Photon Energy had one large scale solar farm under development.

In November 2021, the Group secured 1,200 hectares of land in South Australia to develop a 300 MWp solar farm suitable for Ray-Gen's solar technology in combination with its energy storage solution.

Development status Raygen project (300 MWp): Based on preliminary designs, Photon Energy will develop a solar generation capacity of 300 MWp with a grid connection capacity of 150 MW. The target storage energy storage capacity is 3.6 GWh, equivalent to 24 hours of full load, to the grid, from storage. This will exceed the 3 GWh capacity of the Ouarzazate Solar Power Station in Morocco, which currently has the world's largest energy storage capacity of any type, excluding pumped hydro.

The project received Crown Sponsorship from the South Australian Government for development approval. Crown Sponsorship is a development process undertaken directly with, in this case, the Department of Energy and Mining, as a development of public infrastructure under section 49(2)(c) of the Development Act 1993 for the approval of the project with the South Australian Government. The proposed development complies with the requirements of the Technical Regulator in relation to the security and stability of the State's power system. In parallel, Photon Energy has applied for grid connection for the project to the Electranet transmission network and has engaged a grid connection consultant to manage the process and conduct Grid Performance Studies which will be submitted for approval.

In Q1 2022, Photon Energy conducted already Community consultation sessions with very positive response from both the community and the local council. The local council is very supportive of the project and has expressed interest in working with Photon Energy on accommodation and local supply chain in any areas that will be mutually beneficial to both the local community and the project.

Hungary

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

Tolna 3-13 projects (25.8 MWp under development, 1.4 MWp commissioned on 9 December 2021 and 1.4 MWp commissioned on 5 May 2022): 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) projects 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. Outside this project, two power plants have been constructed and commissioned to date, with a third one in advanced development after securing the binding extraction and construction permits.

The revenue model will be the direct sale of electricity through a trader on the Hungarian electricity market for the time being. Entering into a contract-for-difference based on a METÁR license (for the project that has proven successful through the auction process) or entering into PPAs in the future, remain possible options. 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.

On 9 December 2021, we completed and grid-connected the first photovoltaic power plant with a capacity of 1.4 MWp near the municipality of Tolna.

On 5 May 2022, we completed and grid-connected the second photovoltaic power plant with a capacity of 1.4 MWp near Tolna.

These latest additions expand the Company's portfolio of proprietary power plants in Hungary to a total of 63, with a combined capacity of 51.8 MWp.

The two power plants represent the first European utilityscale PV power plants in Photon Energy Group's IPP portfolio that the Company operates without a support scheme. The total annual production of each power plant is expected to be around 2.1 GWh, which corresponds to expected annual revenues of EUR 440,000 based on current forward prices for electricity base load in Hungary.

Each of these new power plants extends over 2.2 hectares, uses bi-facial PV modules mounted on single-axis trackers and is connected to the grid of E.ON Dél-dunántúli Áramhálózati Zrt..

The electricity is sold on the national electricity market on a merchant basis. This means no power purchase agreements (PPAs) have been entered into by the Company. However, they may play a role in the plant's future revenue management strategy, alongside other hedging options.

The Company developed the projects fully in-house and delivered engineering, procurement and construction services through its subsidiary Photon Energy Solutions HU Kft. Photon Energy Operations HU Kft. – another of the Group's subsidiaries – will provide long-term monitoring, operations and maintenance services to the power plants.

Romania

Below is a short summary of projects and progress achieved in the reporting period and before the publication of this report:

Siria (5.7 MWp) project:

In June 2022, the Company broke ground on the construction of its very first Romanian PV power plant with a generation capacity of 5.7 MWp. High efficiency bifacial solar modules mounted on single-axis trackers will deliver around 8.7 GWh of renewable energy annually to the grid of Enel E-Distributie Banat. Located near Șiria in Romania's Arad County, the power plant will extend over 9.3 hectares of greenfield land and will be equipped with some 10,600 solar panels.

Aiud (4.7 MWp) project:

In July 2022, the Company announced that it started the construction of its second Romanian PV power plant in Aiud with a capacity of 4.7 MWp and an expected annual generation of 6.8 GWh that will be delivered to the grid of Distribuție Energie Electrică Romania. Located near Aiud in Romania's Alba County, the power plant will extend over 6.6 hectares of greenfield land and will be equipped with around 8,700 solar panels.

Calafat (6.1 MWp) project:

In July 2022, the Company announced that it started the construction of another three Romanian PV power plants in Calafat with a combined capacity of 6.1 MWp and an expected annual generation of 9.6 GWh that will be delivered to the grid of Distribuție Energie Oltenia.

The five power plants are scheduled to commence operations in the fourth quarter of 2022 and to sell electricity on the energy market on a merchant basis, that is without any support or a power purchase agreement with an energy offtaker.

Upon the commissioning of these plants, the Company will own and operate 93 solar power plants with a combined generation capacity of 108.3 MWp in its IPP portfolio. A combined 92 MWp will be selling subsidy-free clean electricity directly on the energy market.

The Company is currently developing utility-scale solar PV projects with a combined capacity of 235.4 MWp in Romania. The remaining project development pipeline is expected to be built and commissioned in 2023 and 2024 and thus the Romanian market will significantly contribute to the Company's goal of expanding its IPP portfolio to at least 600 MWp globally by the end of 2024.

All projects to be built in Romania will be selling electricity after grid connection on a merchant basis into the grid.

2.8. Financial statement analysis

Profit and Loss statement

The Group's second quarter results demonstrated exciting progress with consolidated revenues of EUR 23.229 million reported in the second quarter of the year 2022 (+135.7% YOY), and EUR 32.367 million for the first half year (+124.4% YOY). This increase in revenues is primarily connected with higher revenues from the production of electricity generated by our new power plants operating on a merchant basis (1.4 MWp connected to the grid in December 2021 and 14.6 MWp in August 2021), as well as the high electricity prices on the market-linked direct sales component of the "Green Bonus" support scheme, into which the Czech portfolio switched since the beginning of the year. The Company also took important steps to underpin the growth of its business, including the decision to temporarily switch most of the Group's Hungarian IPP portfolio to a merchant model, representing 46.2 MWp out of the Company's 51.8 MWp Hungarian portfolio; starting from April 2022, these power plants were not dependent on any kind of support mechanism. As a result, the Company saw revenues from the sale of electricity generated by the Group's growing portfolio benefit from rising electricity prices globally.

Besides the outstanding revenue from electricity production of EUR 10.963 million (+59.2% YOY), this strong outcome was driven by a remarkable increase in other revenue streams (EUR 12.266 million, +313.2% YOY). The latter was mainly attributable to the great momentum experienced by the Company's component trading business line, which distributes modules, inverters, and now batteries, outshining a relatively more modest growth in O&M and EPC revenues.

turnover in Q2 2022 amounted to EUR 7,238 compared to EUR 14,062 in Q1 2022.

2.7.3 CZK Bond trading performance in Prague

In the trading period from 12 December 2016 until 30 June 2022, the trading volume amounted to CZK 40.500 million with a closing price of 98.00.

This strong business performance led to a consolidated EBITDA improvement by 108.3% to EUR 8.119 million and incurred a record Q2 EBIT of EUR 4.640 million compared to EUR 0.968 million in the same period last year absorbing the booking of a provision for the Hungarian windfall taxes adopted by the Hungarian government retrospectively in June 2022.

Most importantly, the Company turned around a EUR -0.565 million loss before taxation recorded in Q2 2021 to an outstanding EUR 2.619 million in Q2 2022, as well as its net profit with EUR 2.030 million achieved during the reporting period (vs. a EUR -0.869 million net loss in Q2 2021).

Despite a negative Other Comprehensive Income (OCI), affected by a weakening Hungarian Forint (HUF), the Company still reports an increased positive consolidated total comprehensive income for the quarter amounting to EUR 0.546 million, compared to EUR 0.505 million last year for the same period.

Year-to-date, Photon Energy closed a record first half of the year with revenues amounting to EUR 32.367 million, representing a 124.4% increase YOY, raised its EBITDA by 146.2% YOY to EUR 10.143 million.

Chart 6. Revenues, EBITDA and EBITDA margin

The data presented above are based on published quarterly reports, with figures adjusted to be consistent with the annual audited figures for 2021 made available after the publication of the 4th quarter.

Balance Sheet

Switching to the balance sheet, Total fixed assets amounted to EUR 140.667 million at the end of Q2 2022, representing a decrease of -1.3% compared to the end of 2021. This development is resulting from a weakening Hungarian Forint (HUF) impacting the EUR value of the Company's Hungarian portfolio, and the ongoing depreciation of our portfolio power plants, partially offset by the addition of the power plant commissioned in Tolna, Hungary and by an increase of our assets in progress in Romania.

Current assets increased by 13.7% compared to the end of 2021 to EUR 61.589 million as of the end of Q2 2022, resulting from an increase in trade and other receivables connected to our business growth, and an increased inventory, partially offset by a decrease in Liquid assets (see below "Cash flow").

Long term liabilities increased by 3.7% compared to the end of 2021 to EUR 115.243 million at the end of Q2 2022, due to the increased placement of our EUR Green bond amounting to EUR

Changes in equity

Equity increased by 4.7% compared to the end of 2021 and amounted to EUR 53.935 million at the end of Q2 2022, reflecting the Total Comprehensive Income for the period. The adjusted equity ratio increased to 29.3% (vs. 28.8% at the end of 2021).

Cash Flow

Despite the increased strong EBITDA of EUR 8.119 million in Q2 2022, the Group posted a negative operating cash flow, which amounted to EUR – 0.194 million, compared to EUR 1.227 million in Q2 2021. This development was mainly driven by an increase in trade receivables from energy generation, as well as the 25% delayed portion of the green bonus payments from OTE, the Czech electricity market operator, payable after the end of the quarter as well as increases in advances paid, in inventories, and increased receivables in line with the strong growing Technology sales.

2.9 Financial forecasts

The Group's updated revenue expectations for the year 2022 amount to EUR 85 million from a previous guidance of up to EUR 65 million set in April 2022, representing a 133.8% (previously 10.0 million, the repayment of loans in accordance with the financing plans of the Company's portfolio of power plants, as well as to early loan repayments related to our Hungarian portfolio.

Current liabilities amounted to EUR 33.076 million at the end of Q2 2022, corresponding to a -2.6% decrease compared to the end of 2021, mainly due to a decrease in trade and other payables, and an early repayment of the Group's EUR 2017/22 bond by EUR 1.310 million to 22.409 million. The EUR 2017/22 bond will be repaid on 27 October 2022 sourced from existing liquid assets and additional long-term financing in line with the Company's financing strategy.

The adjusted equity ratio increased to 29.3%, compared to 28.8% at the end of 2021.

Chart 7. Net current assets Chart 8. Breakdown of liabilities and equity

Investment cash flow equalled to EUR -3.364 million in Q2 2022 compared to EUR -3.614 million in Q2 2021, mainly related to work in progress for our proprietary portfolio in Romania, Poland, Hungary and the Czech Republic.

Financial cash flow amounted to EUR 3.872 million in Q2 2022, compared to EUR 3.861 million in Q2 2021, in line with the EUR 10 million increase of our EUR Green bond placement, an early repayment of our EUR 2017/22 bond for EUR 1.2 million, and scheduled repayments of bank financing and interest expenses and early loan repayments related to our Hungarian portfolio.

Overall, liquid assets increased to EUR 29.510 million at the end of Q2 2022 compared to EUR 29.141 million the end of Q1 2022.

78.8%) increase compared to audited revenues of EUR 36.4 million in 2021. The Group's updated EBITDA target was increased to EUR 24 million from a previous guidance of up to EUR 18 million, representing a +150.4% YOY (previously 87.8%).

6.4. Financial Information for the Joint Ventures and Associates

Joint ventures

Total investments in equity-accounted investees amounting to EUR 4,850 thousand (31 December 2021: EUR 1,626 thousand) represent the share in the joint ventures owned by the Group of EUR 1,768 thousand (31 December 2021: EUR 1,626 thousand) and investment in associates of EUR 3,082 thousand (31 December 2021: EUR 0)

Associates

Following the execution of the convertible loan agreement, 2,500,000 newly issued shares (representing additional 12%) of Lerta S.A. were registered on 7 February 2022. Total number of shares of Lerta S.A. held by Photon Energy N.V. amounts to 4,129,728 and represents 23.98% share.

Following the registration of new shares and the fact, that the Group obtained significant influence, but not control, over the financial and operating policies, the investment was reclassified into Investments in equity-accounted investments and the Group recognises its share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income (from the date that significant influence has been obtained) in Statement of Comprehensive Income.

Disposals in H1 2022

There were no disposals of investments during H1 of 2022.

Disposals in 2021

In April 2021, the Group 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 independently, while further development of the Gunning Solar Farm and the Suntop2 Solar Farm will be handled by Canadian Solar. Of the three projects, Maryvale is in the furthest stages of development.

Under the terms of the agreement, Photon Energy has exchanged its 49% stake in the 220 MWp Gunning Solar Farm and 25% stake in the 200 MWp Suntop2 Solar Farm for Canadian Solar's stake in the Maryvale Solar Farm. The Group now possesses a 65% stake in the Maryvale Solar Farm and will work with its original local codevelopment 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.

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 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 (Electricity Generation): 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 2022 nor 2021.

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

7. Operating Segments (Continued)

All the operational segments are managed on an international basis (not on a country level). In H1 2022 and H1 2021 the Group operated in the Czech Republic, Slovak Republic, Germany, Hungary, Australia, Switzerland, Romania, Poland and the Netherlands with headquarters in the Netherlands.

In first 6 months of 2022 and in 2021, revenues were generated in all above mentioned markets, except of the Netherlands, Romania, Poland and Peru. Non-current assets (power plants) are located in the Czech Republic, Slovak Republic, Hungary and Australia.

For the booking of transactions between the segments, the same rules for the recognition are applied as for the third parties.

Major Customer

The Group has many customers. For the companies selling electricity, there is usually only one distribution company, which buys produced electricity. These local electricity distributors further deliver and resell electricity to final customers. Distributors are obliged to purchase all of the electricity production for the price based on Feed in Tariff prices or market prices. The Group as such is not dependent on any individual customer.

*did not exceed 10% of total revenues

The Czech SPVs producing electricity opted for the green bonus support for 2022 which is paid by OTE, a.s. ("OTE" Czech.electricity market operator). In 2021, no green bonus was paid by OTE as the produced electricity was sold directly to the E.ON Energie, a.s. for the fixed feed in tarif. In 2022 in addition, the Czech SPVs sold the produced electricity to Solar Global Energy a.s. and Lerta Energy HU Kft at market prices. Total revenues from sale of electricity to Solar Global Energy a.s. did not exceed 10% of total revenues from customers.

Revenues from OTE, a.s. of EUR 5,327 thousand in 6 months to 30 June 2022 (6 months to 30 June 2021: EUR 0) do not represent revenues from customers and represent green bonus received for produced electricity by Czech SPVs.

Revenues from Lerta Energy HU Kft, E.ON Energie, a.s. and MA-VIR Zrt. are presented in the Segment Investments in 2021 and represent revenues from sale of electricity from various PVPs.

8. Revenue

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

In 2022, Czech SPVs opted for the green bonus scheme, under which produced electricity is sold to the distributors at market price and a green bonus set as fixed amount per MWh produced is received from OTE.

During 2022, some of the Hungarian SPVs opted out from KAT/Metar fixed feed in tariffs and are also selling produced electricity to electricity traders at market price.

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 and OTE, a.s in Czech Republic. Total amount of compensations for sales from electricity generation invoiced to OKTE and OTE in first half of 2022 amounted to EUR 5,610 thousand (H1 of 2021: EUR 1,386 thousand).

Even though the revenues were invoiced in 2022 and 2021 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.

The revaluation reserve arises on the revaluation of photovoltaic power plants (PVP).

In H1 2022, the Group performed revaluations of the newly connected power plant in Hungary resulting in an increase of the value of property, plant, and equipment by the total amount of EUR 475 thousand, net amount recognised in revaluation reserve resulting from this amounted to EUR 433 thousand, see also note 9.

The revaluation reserve is being released to the retained earnings during the duration of the expected useful life (as of 1 January 2022 (see also Note 5) and Australia 30 years). The amount equal to the amount of depreciation coming from revaluation recycled to retained earnings in H1 2022 equals to EUR

1,431 thousand (1H 2021: EUR 3,822 thousand).

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:

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 7.8% to 16.5% for H1 2022 (2021: 5% to 13%).

Other financial investments are stated at its fair value based on valuation models prepared by management. Other financial investments include primarily ordinary and preference shares and related share options held. The principal assumptions, in addition to the market price of the shares, are probability of the realisation of the share options granted and discount rate reflecting required return on investment on this type of the Group's investments.

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.
