• On 27 July 2023 Enersense announced that it changed the accounting of wind power projects from the beginning of 2023 and published comparison figures for 2022.

Guidance for the financial period 2023 (issued on 8 May 2023)

In 2023, Enersense's revenue is expected to be over EUR 300 million and adjusted EBITDA in the range of EUR 12–18 million.

Despite the general economic uncertainty, the market situation in Enersense's business areas has continued to be good in the beginning of the year and the favourable development is expected to continue. The company's strong order backlog gives a good basis for increasing revenue. We have managed to accelerate the wind power portfolio development and we assume that the same development continues. Profitability will be impacted by the implementation of the new ERP-system as well as on-going investments in developing the offshore wind power business and acceleration of onshore wind power project development. At the end of 2022 the company completed an offering of EUR 26 million convertible bond in order to implement these investments.

Order backlog MEUR

President and CEO Jussi Holopainen

Enersense's strong growth continued in the second quarter. The Group's revenue increased by 34.4% in January–June and was EUR 161.3 (120.0) million. The order backlog stood at EUR 527 (295) million. The Group's adjusted EBITDA was EUR 3.5 (5.0) million. The profitability of core business operations improved in all business areas, but investments in strategic focus areas had a negative impact of EUR 3.2 million on the EBITDA. In the comparison period, the recognition of EUR 8.5 million arising from the Enersense Wind acquisition had a positive impact on the EBITDA. On the other hand, the operating environment in early 2022 was very exceptional because of the Russian attack on Ukraine and the strike in the ICT sector in particular, which burdened the result for the comparison period.

Our work to improve the profitability of our core business operations has begun to produce results. In Smart Industry in particular, the growth of volumes in service and project business operations is reflected in improved profitability. In the International Operations and Connectivity business areas, the good volumes and profitability improvement measures produced results in the first half of the year. High activity in the construction of high-voltage power lines continues in the Baltic countries, and since the end of 2022, Connectivity has announced optical fibre connection construction contracts totalling around EUR 100 million, which will increase business volumes. The market situation in the Power business area continues to be good, and after the seasonally challenging first quarter, the profitability of core business operations improved in the second quarter. Enersense plays an important role in projects related to Finland's main grid, and in the first half of the year, we won projects totalling around EUR 40 million.

During the past five years, Enersense has been the strongest grower on Nasdaq Helsinki by revenue growth (CAGR). In line with our specified strategy, we are actively investing in strengthening our position also in our strategic focus areas. At the beginning of June, we announced that we had started an assessment of the options to accelerate the achievement of the Power business area's growth targets and especially our strategic target to become a significant producer of clean energy. Our own energy production target is 600–700 MW by 2027, which we have estimated will require investments of EUR 700–800 million. We are now looking for the best possible solution to boost the implementation of our growth strategy. At the end of the review period, our renewable energy project portfolio was around

8,100 MW (December 2022: 8,000 MW), which provides a good basis for our determined progress towards our own energy production target.

In charging solutions for zero-emission transport, we moved to industrial-scale production by starting cooperation with Scanfil during the review period. Enersense's new high-power charger makes it possible to increase the charging power of an individual charging device from 30 kW to 160 kW. We believe that this cooperation will offer us good growth opportunities. During summer 2023, we will deliver high-power charging solutions to Norway, Finland and Sweden, and we are seeing plenty of opportunities in the Nordic charging site market.

In June, we announced that the City of Pori had started to build an international centre of excellence and operations for offshore wind power. Enersense is involved in the project, and our expertise in offshore wind power as well as our production facilities (50,000 m2) in Mäntyluoto in Pori are playing an important role in building the centre of excellence. The Bothnian Sea region is one of the most favourable areas for the construction of wind power plants, even in international comparison: a total of 15 major power plant projects within a radius of 400 kilometres from Pori have been announced in Finland and Sweden. The centre of excellence supports Enersense's growth targets and enables Enersense to further strengthen its role as an EPCI supplier in offshore wind power projects. Investments in the ramp-up of Enersense Offshore, which we acquired in autumn 2021, are also beginning to materialise. At the beginning of July, Aker Solutions ordered steel structure modules from Enersense for the Hugin A production platform, which is part of the development of the Yggdrasil oil and gas field operated by Aker BP in the North Sea. We believe that a well-executed project will enable the expansion of our cooperation into the rapidly growing energy market, where Aker Solutions has strong experience.

Alongside strategic projects, we are continuing our work to streamline our core business portfolio. We are aiming to focus on our core competences and divest operations that are not integral to them. As part of this review, we sold all shares in Enersense Solutions to Econia, which is part of Administer Group. Enersense Solutions provides contractor liability services, and the transaction also included its E-Sense system. A capital gain of EUR 0.9 million from the transaction was recorded in the second quarter.

ENERSENSE INTERNATIONAL PLC HALF-YEAR FINANCIAL REPORT JANUARY–JUNE 2023 (UNAUDITED) 3 AUGUST 2023

Operating environment in the review period

Despite the impacts of the Russian attack on Ukraine and general economic uncertainty, the market situation in Enersense's business areas as a whole remained favourable during the first half of the year. Although the prices of raw materials, other materials and energy, which have risen as a result of the war, have stabilised and partly returned to pre-war levels, overall inflation in the markets relevant to Enersense remains high, with a particular impact on material and salary costs and thus on the profitability of projects in a tight competitive environment.

Increased uncertainty about economic development and higher operational and financial costs had a negative impact on the investment environment of certain customers in some respects. On the other hand, given the changed geopolitical situation, energy solutions are becoming more self-sufficient in Europe, and this is expected to speed up the implementation of projects related to the energy transition. This trend is also supported by EU-level and national energy and climate policy.

Financial result

ORDER BACKLOG

The order backlog grew by 79% and was EUR 527 (295) million at the end of the review period. Order backlog remained at the same level as in the first quarter of 2023.

Compared with the comparison period strong demand supported the development of the order backlog in all segments. In the Smart Industry segment the level of order backlog is higher due to the fact that the third-quarter order backlog in 2022 includes EUR 100 million of the agreement with the energy company Helen. Including the options to extend the agreement, the agreement totals EUR 200 million.

April–June 2023

Revenue increased by 44.3% and was EUR 86.3 (59.8) million. The revenue includes EUR 1.0 (0) million of realised sales gains from completed wind power projects.

Backed by the strong order backlog, revenue increased in all segments.

EBITDA strengthened and was EUR 3.0 (-0.6) million. The EBITDA margin was 3.5 (-1.0)%. The EBITDA for the review period includes a capital gain of EUR 0.9 million from the sale of Enersense Solutions, a provider of contractor liability services, and a credit loss provision of EUR 0.4 million related to a customer's insolvency.

The EBITDA of core business operations improved in all segments. On the other hand, investments in the ramp-up of the offshore and electric vehicle charging solutions businesses and in a new ERP system continued to burden profitability. These had a total impact of EUR 1.6 (1.1) million. In the comparison period, the operating environment was very exceptional, especially because of the Russian attack on Ukraine and the strike in the ICT sector, which led to low profitability in the second quarter of 2022.

Adjusted EBITDA was EUR 3.1 (-0.4) million or 3.6 (-0.7)% of revenue.

The net impact of items affecting comparability was EUR 0,1 million, mainly arising from process integration costs related to the finalisation of the integration of Empower and Enersense. In the

comparison period, the most significant items affecting comparability totalled EUR 0.2 million and were related to restructuring costs and the closing of the digital unit.

The operating profit was EUR 0.6 (-2.8) million. The operating profit margin was 0.7 (-4.6)%.

January–June 2023

Revenue increased by 34.4% and was EUR 161.3 (120.0) million. The revenue includes EUR 1.0 (6.4) million of realised sales gains from completed wind power projects.

The revenue increased in all segments. The growth was particularly strong in Smart Industry and International Operations segments.

EBITDA decreased by -35.3% and was EUR 3.1 (4.8) million. The EBITDA margin was 1.9 (4.0)%. The EBITDA for the review period includes a capital gain of EUR 0.9 million from the sale of Enersense Solutions, a provider of contractor liability services, and a credit loss provision of EUR 0.4 million related to a customer's insolvency. In the comparison period, the EBITDA included a recognition of EUR 2.1 million in negative goodwill from the Enersense Wind acquisition.

The profitability of core business operations improved especially in the Smart Industry segment. Development in the International Operations and Connectivity segments has also been favourable. In the Power segment, the profitability of core business operations improved in the second quarter. On the other hand, investments in the ramp-up of the offshore and electric vehicle charging solutions businesses and in a new ERP system continued to burden profitability. These had a total impact of EUR 3.2 (2.4) million.

Adjusted EBITDA decreased by -31.9% and was EUR 3.5 (5.0) million or 2.2 (4.2)% of revenue.

The net impact of items affecting comparability was EUR 0,4 million, mainly arising from process integration costs related to the finalisation of the integration of Empower and Enersense and competition authority's processing costs regarding the Voimatel acquisition, which was cancelled in early 2023. In the comparison period, the most significant items affecting comparability totalled EUR 0.3 million and were related to restructuring costs and the closing of the digital unit.

The operating profit was EUR -1.6 (0.5) million. The operating profit margin was -1.0 (0.4)%.

The segment-specific figures are presented under "Segment reviews".

Segment reviews

SMART INDUSTRY

The Smart Industry segment helps customers improve the reliability of their production plants and the efficiency of their maintenance operations, in addition to developing digital solutions that improve profitability. As its strategic growth area, the segment also provides resource and project services for Finnish and international customers' onshore and offshore projects.

MEUR 4–6/2023 4–6/2022 Change-% 1–6/2023 1–6/2022 Change-% 1–12/2022

April–June 2023

The market environment of the Smart Industry segment remained stable in the second quarter of the year.

The Smart Industry segment's revenue increased by 43.5% and was EUR 26.8 (18.7) million.

Higher volumes in both service and project businesses increased the revenue. Compared with the comparison period, certain operation and maintenance services that were transferred to Enersense from the energy company Helen in a business transfer in November 2022 impacted the increase in revenue.

The Smart Industry segment's EBITDA improved and was EUR 1.0 (-0.1) million. The EBITDA for the review period includes a capital gain of EUR 0.9 million from the sale of Enersense Solutions, a provider of contractor liability services, and a credit loss provision of EUR 0.4 million related to a customer's insolvency.

Higher volumes were visible in the increased profitability of the core operations in the review period. Activity has also increased in the offshore business, but the investments in growth continue to burden the whole segment's profitability.

January–June 2023

Although general uncertainty continued in the global economy, the market environment of the Smart Industry segment began to return to normal in the first quarter of the year and remained stable in the second quarter. It seems that offshore projects in particular are being activated earlier than anticipated. Some customers have decided to manage part of their purchases of materials on their own. If this trend becomes more widespread, it may affect Smart Industry's ability to win projects in the future. The adjustment measures in progress in the Finnish paper industry may reduce service business volumes in the final quarter of 2023.

The Smart Industry segment's revenue increased by 50.1 % and was EUR 53.0 (35.3) million.

Higher volumes in both service and project businesses increased the revenue. Compared with the comparison period, certain operation and maintenance services that were transferred to Enersense from the energy company Helen in a business transfer in November 2022 impacted the increase in revenue.

The Smart Industry segment's EBITDA improved and was EUR 2.1 (-1.1) million. The EBITDA for the review period includes a capital gain of EUR 0.9 million from the sale of Enersense Solutions, a provider of contractor liability services, and a credit loss provision of EUR 0.4 million related to a customer's insolvency.

Higher volumes in both service and project businesses increased the revenue. Compared with the comparison period, certain operation and maintenance services that were transferred to Enersense from the energy company Helen in a business transfer in November 2022 impacted the increase in revenue.

The average number of personnel in the Smart Industry segment was 699 (585) person-years during the review period. The increase in the number of personnel was related, among other factors, to the transfer of more than 250 people from the energy company Helen to the Smart Industry segment in

connection with a business transfer in November 2022. Backed by the strong order backlog the segment continues to strengthen its organisation.

Order backlog

The Smart Industry segment's order backlog stood at EUR 170 (51) million at the end of the review period. Order backlog grew by EUR 119 million or 233% year-on-year. At the end of the review period, the order backlog was EUR -17 million lower than at the end of the first quarter 2023.

Order intake development was good and the order backlog increased especially in the project businesses. The main reason for the significant increase in the level of the order backlog year-on-year was the transfer of operation and maintenance services from the energy company Helen in a business transfer in the third quarter of 2022.

Significant orders received during the financial period included, for example, the following:

An agreement with Boliden, a Swedish metals company, in a large development project at the Odda production plant in Norway (press release 24 Jan 2023). In the project, which aims for increasing sustainability and the production capacity of the plant, Enersense is responsible for the supply and installation of steel, equipment installations and insulation work in one of the project areas. The project was launched in early 2023.

An agreement with Q Power, a Finnish company specialising in Power-to-X technology deliveries, on the delivery of steel structures for reactor modules for a methanation plant (investor news 6 Mar 2023). The agreement is related to the synthetic methane production plant delivered by Q Power to P2X Solutions in Harjavalta. The plant is being built in connection with a green hydrogen production plant. The modular structures will be manufactured in Enersense's production facilities in Mäntyluoto.

POWER

The Power segment helps customers implement the energy transition through services that cover the entire life cycle of the energy sector. The services include the design, construction and maintenance of transmission grids and electric substations. Additionally, the segment also covers, as its strategic growth areas, the design, construction, maintenance and project development of wind farms and solar farms as well as solutions for charging systems for electrically powered transport and electricity storage. In the future, the aim is also to invest in starting its own renewable energy production.

Accounting of wind power projects was changed from the beginning of 2023. Comparison figures for 2022 are reported according to the new accounting principle.

MEUR 4–6/2023 4–6/2022 Change-% 1–6/2023 1–6/2022 Change-% 1–12/2022

Order backlog 103 66 56 70
Personnel (FTE) 191 170 172

April–June 2023

Demand in the Power segment continued to be strong during the review period.

Backed by the strong order backlog, the Power segment's revenue increased by 59.1% and was EUR 22.3 (14.0) million. The revenue includes EUR 1.0 (0) million of realised sales gains from completed wind power projects.

Higher volumes were also reflected in profitability. The Power segment's EBITDA increased by 160.6% and was EUR 1.6 (0.6) million. The profitability of core business operations improved. The segment's

profitability was burdened by investments in the development of the zero-emission charging solutions business.

January–June 2023

Demand in the Power segment continued to be strong during the review period. Demand for services related to the construction transmission networks in particular has increased.

The Power segment's revenue increased by 7.9% and was EUR 37.6 (34.8) million. The revenue includes EUR 1.0 (6.4) million of realised sales gains from completed wind power projects.

The Power segment's EBITDA decreased by -82.2% and was EUR 1.7 (9.4) million. In the comparison period, significant sales revenue from wind power projects had a positive impact on the EBITDA, and the comparison period also includes the recognition of EUR 2.1 million in negative goodwill arising from the Enersense Wind acquisition. The profitability of core business operations was improved by transmission network projects in particular, but investments in the development of the zero-emission charging solutions business burdened the segment's profitability.

Power segment's average number of personnel was 191 (170) person-years in the review period.

Wind and solar power project development

The development of Enersense's onshore wind power project portfolio was continued during the review period. At the end of the review period, the total project portfolio was approximately 8,100 MW (12/2022: 8,000 MW), of which 1,500 MW will be developed in cooperation with Valorem. The projects in the feasibility study phase total around 6,300 MW, and projects totalling 1,450 MW are in the permit, land use and EIA phase.

The projects previously developed by Enersense's subsidiary Enersense Wind that have progressed to the construction and operation phase total 350 MW. For these projects, Enersense will receive development fees during 2022–2025, as announced on 3 February 2022.

Development of Enersense's solar power project portfolio continued during the review period. The size of the portfolio is approximately 60 MW (12/2022: 60 MW). Enersense's renewable energy project development portfolio of approximately 8,100 MW enables the company to develop energy production of its own.

In June 2023 an evaluation of options was initiated to further accelerate Power segment's growth ambitions and specifically the Group's strategy to become a significant zero-emission energy producer. Enersense's own energy production target by 2027 is 600–700 MW, of which 600 MW would be wind power and 100 MW solar power.

The options to be considered include creating a new, separate Enersense subsidiary for renewable energy development and production. An update will be given in due course, if any concrete outcome were to materialise.

April–June 2023

Demand in the Connectivity segment continued to be strong, particularly in fibre-to-the home construction projects.

The Connectivity segment's revenue was backed by the strong order backlog and increased by 32.8% to EUR 13.6 (10.2) million.

The Connectivity segment's EBITDA was EUR -0.1 (-0.5) million.

Discussions with customers on transferring the increase in costs to sales prices were continued. In the comparison period, EBITDA was burdened by the impacts of the Russian attack on Ukraine and the strike in the ICT sector.

January–June 2023

The Connectivity segment's revenue was backed by the strong order backlog and increased by 24.4% to EUR 24.4 (19.6) million.

The Connectivity segment's EBITDA was EUR -0.2 (-1.2) million.

Profitability was supported by higher volumes and the segment's profitability improvement programme. Discussions with customers on transferring the increase in costs to sales prices have continued, but a full transfer to customer prices has not been possible. In the comparison period, EBITDA was burdened by the impacts of the Russian attack on Ukraine and the 6-week strike in the ICT sector.

The average number of personnel in the Connectivity segment was 346 (347) person-years during the review period.

Due to the nature of the business operations, the order backlog does not grow steadily, because the majority of sales come from long-term framework agreements that are valid for several years.

Significant orders received during the financial period included, for example, the following:

An agreement with a Finnish optic fiber company Valoo on a turn-key project contract of construction of an optic fiber network (stock exchange release, insider information 17 Jan 2023). The total value of the contract that spans over four years is approximately EUR 35 million. Enersense is responsible for the turn-key delivery which contains project management, planning, construction and documentation of the network. In the first phase the focus of the construction works is in the South-Eastern part of Finland in Lappeenranta, Kotka and Hamina.

An add-on turnkey contract with Elisa, a Finnish telecommunications and digital services company, for the construction of Elisa's Fibre to the Home optic fibre network in Finland (stock exchange release, insider information 19 June 2023).

Enersense is responsible for the turnkey delivery, which contains the project management, planning and construction of the network, materials logistics, and customer deliveries.

INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS

The International Operations segment includes Enersense's international business operations mainly in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania.

April–June 2023

Demand in the International Operations segment's business areas has remained good.

The International Operations segment's revenue increased by 39.5% and was EUR 23.5 (16.8) million.

Theincrease in revenue was mainly supported by high-voltage power line construction projects in progress in the Baltics. The majority of the segment's revenue comes from construction and maintenance projects in power grids and distribution grids.

The International Operations segment's EBITDA strengthened and was EUR 1.1 (-0.1) million.

January–June 2023

Annual inflation level has remained high but it has been decreasing. Increase of prices for materials is even higher than for consumer prices mainly due to the reorganisation of supply chains because of the sanctions imposed on Russia. In addition to higher costs, this has been reflected in longer delivery times and in more complicated logistics arrangements, for example. All in all, demand in the International Operations segment's business areas has increased.

The International Operations segment's revenue increased by 52.8% and was EUR 46.4 (30.3) million.

Theincrease in revenue was mainly supported by high-voltage power line construction projects in progress in the Baltics. The majority of the segment's revenue comes from construction and maintenance projects in power grids and distribution grids.

The International Operations segment's EBITDA strengthened and was EUR 1.2 (-1.0) million.

Compensation regarding inflation has been agreed with most of the customers, and inflation is taken into account in new contracts.

The average number of personnel in the International Operations segment was 620 (585) person-years during the review period.

Order backlog

The International Operations segment's order backlog stood at EUR 128 (122) million at the end of the review period. The order backlog grew by EUR 5 million from the comparison period but decreased by EUR -14 from the end of of the first quarter 2023.

Due to the nature of the business operations, the order backlog does not grow steadily, because the majority of sales come from major framework agreements and long-term projects that are valid for several years. In the synchronisation projects between the Baltic countries' and European electricity distribution systems, the order intake has already reached its peak, which is why the segment's order backlog decreased compared with the first quarter of the year. The order intake has remained good in the segment's other business operations.

Significant orders received during the financial period included, for example, the following:

A contract with Estonian transmission system operator AS Elering (press release 3 Jan 2023). The contract covers the renewal of the 330-kV power line between Mustvee and Paide substations as well as construction of a new 110-kV power line between Mustvee and Kantkyla substations. The project includes preparatory and design works, demolition of the existing power line and construction of a 90 km-long new 330 kV and 110 kV power line. The project is expected to be completed in July 2025 at the latest. The total value of the contract is EUR 36.9 million. Enersense's share of the contract is approximately EUR 18.5 million. Enersense As and Leonhard Weiss Oü, who specializes in design, construction and maintenance of integrated transmission systems, will carry out the project in a consortium.

Group personnel

Enersense mainly operates in Finland, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. The Group had an average of 1,911 (1,778) employees during the review period.

The growth in business volume was also reflected in the number of personnel, which increased by 7% year-on-year. The most significant growth was achieved in the Smart Industry segment with the transfer of more than 250 people from the energy company Helen in connection with a business transfer in November 2022.

Near-term risks and uncertainties

In its operations, Enersense is exposed to strategic, operational and financial risks and external threats. Enersense seeks to protect against these risks by means of a continuous and systematic risk assessment process, for example, and by fully considering risk factors when deciding on business projects or investments that are significant for the Group. Compared with what was reported in the Board of Directors' report for 2022, no material changes have taken place in significant short-term risks and uncertainties.

The Russian attack on Ukraine, which began in February 2022, continues and maintains geopolitical tensions and uncertainty about the development of the global economy. Inflation in the markets relevant to Enersense continues to be markedly higher than usual, which is reflected especially in the Baltic countries, where high wage inflation is causing costs to increase. The prices of materials are also higher than usual, and there is a risk that old contracts in particular cannot be renegotiated. Geopolitical uncertainty may also be reflected in labour availability, especially in the Baltic countries and elsewhere in Eastern Europe. The risk of power outages arising from the energy availability issues caused by the war still exists during the coming winter. This may have a negative impact on the business operations of Enersense's customers and thereby also on Enersense's operations next winter.

Increased uncertainty about economic development and the increase in operating and financial costs caused by high inflation have had a negative impact on investment environment. This may lead to a deterioration in the financial position of Enersense and its customers, through factors such as the availability of financing, and further to a decrease in demand for Enersense's services and slower-thanexpected sales development. Changes in the investment environment may have a negative impact on value measurement of certain items in the balance sheet.

The tight competitive situation in many of Enersense's business areas and the offerings of any new competitors may cause pressure in terms of project sales prices and profitability.

A broader description of the company's major risks and uncertainties is available on the company's website at www.enersense.com/investors/governance/risk-management/.

The risks related to the company's financing are explained in more detail in Note 20 Financial risk and capital management to the Financial Statements 2022, which is available on the company's website at www.enersense.com/press-releases/reports-and-presentations/.

Guidance for the financial period 2023

(issued on 8 May 2023)

In 2023, Enersense's revenue is expected to be over EUR 300 million and adjusted EBITDA in the range of EUR 12–18 million.

Despite the general economic uncertainty, the market situation in Enersense's business areas has continued to be good in the beginning of the year and the favourable development is expected to continue. The company's strong order backlog gives a good basis for increasing revenue. We have managed to accelerate the wind power portfolio development and we assume that the same development continues. Profitability will be impacted by the implementation of the new ERP-system as well as on-going investments in developing the offshore wind power business and acceleration of onshore wind power project development. At the end of 2022 the company completed an offering of EUR 26 million convertible bond in order to implement these investments.

Significant events after the review period

STOCK EXCHANGE RELEASES:

• On 27 July 2023 Enersense announced that it changed the accounting of wind power projects from the beginning of 2023 and published comparison figures for 2022. Realised sales gains from completed wind power projects are recognised in revenue in the income statement, whereas they were previously included in other operating income. In addition, distribution of funds to minority shareholders which is based on a shareholder agreement are recognised in financial expenses in the income statement, while they were previously treated as decreases in equity.

INVESTOR NEWS:

ALTERNATIVE PERFORMANCE MEASURES:

Enersense publishes certain commonly used alternative measures that can be derived from the IFRS financial statements. The calculation formulas for these alternative measures are presented in the section Calculation principles for key performance indicators of this report.

Certain transactions that are not part of the ordinary course of business, or valuation items that do not have an impact on the cash flow but have a significant impact on the income statement for the period, have been adjusted as items affecting comparability if they arise from:

  • Material items outside the ordinary course of business according to the management's judgement that are related to mergers and acquisitions that are not part of the strategy, such as acquisitionrelated transaction costs and employment termination expenses, and/or restructuring, as well as significant redundancy costs, or exceptional authority process costs
  • Integration costs related to acquired companies
  • Other than key business related gains and losses on the sale of fixed assets

By using adjusted performance measures, the company seeks to provide information about its business operations covered by its strategy. Profitable organic and inorganic growth is a key strategic goal of the company. For this reason, the company adjusts its result for transaction costs, significant redundancy costs and restructuring arising from mergers and acquisitions not covered by its strategy. All of these are costs arising from events outside the strategy. The company has not adjusted its result for transaction expenses or income arising from acquisitions made in line with its strategy, as acquisitions represent the core of the strategy.

Its result is also adjusted for integration costs related to mergers and acquisitions, because these costs are non-recurring by nature.

Notes to the consolidated interim report

1. ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

Enersense changes the accounting of wind power projects from the beginning of 2023 so that realised sales gains from completed wind power projects are recognised in revenue in the income statement, whereas they were previously included in other operating income. In addition, distribution of funds to minority shareholders which is based on a shareholder agreement are recognised in financial expenses in the income statement, while they were previously treated as decreases in equity.

These changes are related to the specification of accounting principles the aim of which is to provide clearer and more comparable information about Enersense's wind power projects and their impact on the company's financial results.

The intangible assets related to Wind Farm projects is presented as a separate item in intangible assets. The data for the reference year have been reclassified accordingly.

The change had no impact on operating results for 2022. As a result of the change, revenue increased, but other operating income decreased correspondingly. The change weakened loss before taxes and net result. Therefore earning per share also decreased. Impact of the changes are published in separate stock exchange release at 27.7.2023.

This is an interim report in accordance with IAS 34. The half-year report has been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles presented in the financial statements for 2022. The adjustments and annual improvements to the IFRS standards which came into force on 1 January 2023 do not have a significant impact on the figures presented.

The information presented in the half-year report is unaudited. All the figures presented have been rounded. Therefore, the sum of individual figures does not necessarily correspond to the total amount presented.

The risks are described earlier in the text section "Near-term risks and uncertainties".

2. CHANGES IN THE GROUP STRUCTURE AND ACQUISITIONS

Enersense InternationalPlc informed in a press release on 27 June 2023 that it had signed an agreement selling it's 100% owned subsidiary Enersense Solutions Oy. Sales price was EUR 1.0 million. The sales has minor impact on the Group balance sheet.

During the reference period Enersense International acquired Megatuuli Oy, which changed its name in June 2023 to Enersense Wind Oy.

The fair value of intangible assets at the time of acquisition was EUR 22.9 million, including EUR 22.8 million in wind farm projects at various stages of development.

The amount of the negative goodwill defined as residual value was EUR 2.1 million. The net amount of the fair values of the acquired assets and liabilities exceeded the acquisition cost. The amounts of assets and liabilities acquired in accordance with IFRS 3 have been reassessed. As the acquisition showed a profit even after the second assessment, it was recognised immediately, because IFRS 3 does not allow negative goodwill to be presented on the balance sheet. The negative goodwill was recognised in other operating income.

The costs related to the transaction were EUR 0.5 million in the first half of the year 2022 and were included in other expenses on the consolidated income statement and in the net cash flow from operating activities on the cash flow statement.

4. INCENTIVE SCHEME (IFRS 2)

Enersense International Plc's Board of Directors decided in February 2023 on new share-based incentive schemes for the Group's key personnel. The aim is to align the objectives of the shareholders and key employees for increasing the value of the company in the long-term, to retain the key employees at the company and to offer them competitive incentive plan that is based on earning and accumulating the company's shares. The new incentive plan is a continuation of the Performance Share Plan 2022–2025 decided in February 2022. The new Performance Share Plan 2023–2025 consists of one performance period, covering the financial years 2023–2025.

Share-based incentive scheme for 2022–2025

The share-based incentive scheme for 2022–2025 has one performance period, which consists of the 2022–2023 financial years.

Within the scheme, the members of the target group can earn shares in Enersense International Plc based on their performance. The potential rewards within the scheme will be paid in two equal installments after the performance period in 2024 and 2025.

Rewards within the scheme will be based on the total absolute return on the company's share for the 2022–2023 financial years, the Group's cumulative euro-denominated adjusted EBITDA for the 2022– 2023 financial years and the share of renewable and zero-emission energy of revenue. The rewards to be paid in accordance with the scheme are estimated at the value of a maximum of 211,000 shares in Enersense International Plc, including the cash portion.

The target group of the scheme consists of around 40 people, including the President and CEO and the other members of Enersense International Plc's Group Executive Team.

The President and CEO of Enersense International Plc and the members of its Group Executive Team must hold at least 50% of the shares they have received as net rewards within the scheme, until the total value of the President and CEO's shareholding in the company corresponds to their annual salary for the previous year or until the total shareholding of a member of the Group Executive Team corresponds to 50% of their annual salary for the previous year. They must hold this number of shares for as long as their membership of the Group Executive Team continues.

Share-based incentive scheme for 2023–2025

The Performance Share Plan 2023–2025 consists of one performance period, covering the financial years 2023–2025.

In the plan, the target group is given an opportunity to earn Enersense International Plc shares based on performance. The rewards of the plan are based on the absolute total shareholder return of the company's share (TSR) for the financial years 2023–2025, on the Group's cumulative Operating Profit in euro for the financial years 2023–2025, and on the Group's ESG development program.The potential rewards based on the plan will be paid after the end of the performance period, in spring 2026. The rewards will be paid partly in Enersense International Plc shares and partly in cash. The cash proportions of the rewards are intended for covering taxes and statutory social security contributions arising from the rewards to the participants. In general, no reward is paid if the participant's employment or director contract terminates before the reward payment.

The rewards to be paid based on the plan correspond to the value of an approximate maximum total of 241.000 Enersense International Plc shares, also including the proportion to be paid in cash. Approximately 40 persons, including the President and CEO and other members of the Group Executive Team, belong to the target group of the plan.

The President and CEO of Enersense International Plc and the member of the Group Executive Team must own at least 50 per cent of the shares received as a net reward from the plan, until the value of the President and CEO's shareholding in Enersense International Plc equals to his annual base salary of the preceding year, and until the value of other Group Executive Team member's shareholding in Enersense International Plc equals to 50 per cent of their annual base salary of the preceding year. Such number of Enersense International Plc shares must be held as long as the membership in the Group Executive Team or the position as the President and CEO continues

Restricted share plan for 2022–2024

Rewards within the restricted share plan for 2022–2024 are based on a valid employment contract or executive agreement and the continuation of the employment or service relationship during the vesting period. Rewards will be paid after the vesting period, which lasts for 24 to 36 months. The plan is only intended for specifically designated key people.

The rewards to be allocated based on the restricted share plan for 2022–2024 correspond to the value of a maximum of 10,000 shares in Enersense International Plc, including the cash portion.

EBITDA, % of revenue = EBITDA / revenue x 100
Adjusted EBITDA = EBITDA + items affecting comparability
Adjusted EBITDA (%) = Adjusted EBITDA / revenue x 100
Operating profit (EBIT) = Revenue + other operating income – materials and services –
personnel expenses – other operating expenses + share of the
result of associates – depreciation and impairment
EBIT, % of revenue = Operating profit / revenue x 100
Profit (loss) for the period,
% of revenue
= Profit (loss) for the period / revenue x 100
Equity ratio = Equity / balance sheet total – advances received x 100
Gearing = Interest-bearing debt – cash in hand and at bank / equity x 100
Return on equity (%) = Profit for the period /
average equity during the review period x 100
Earnings per share (EUR) = Profit for the period / average number of shares
Average cost per share = Total share revenue in euros / the issue-adjusted number of
shares exchanged during the financial year
The market value of the share
capital
= (number of shares – own shares) x stock exchange rate on the
closing date
Share trading = The number of shares traded during the financial year
Revenue (%) = Share trading (pcs) x 100 / The average number of shares
issued during the period
