Sig nific ant e ve nts d uring the first nine m onths

  • In May, Arise announced that the Board had resolved to utilise the authorisation granted by the 2024 Annual General Meeting to buy back the company's own shares up to MSEK 50 ahead of the 2025 Annual General Meeting. Under this share buyback programme and the previous buyback programme, 2,455,820 own shares were repurchased for MSEK 110 during the first nine months of the year.
  • In May, Eva Vitell announced that she was leaving the Board of Arise at her own request, since she has accepted a position with Svenska Kraftnät.
  • In May, the Lebo wind farm was completed. The wind farm is fully owned by Arise, has a capacity of 33 MW and is located in price area 3. Following the completion, Lebo is part of the Production segment.
  • Arise announced in June that the earnout payment for the Ranasjö- and Salsjöhöjden project had been established at MEUR 6.6, which was received in the same month. Of the earnout amount, MEUR 4.2 had already been recognised whereby the earnings effect for the quarter amounted to MEUR 2.4.
  • In June, Arise's subsidiary Pohjan Voima entered into a cooperation agreement with Finsilva, one of Finland's largest landowners. The cooperation opens up opportunities for the development of new wind and solar projects, which may also include battery storage. Five project areas have been identified with estimated potential of approximately 500 MW.
  • In September, Arise entered into an agreement with Flower Infrastructure Technologies AB to sell the 40 MW battery project Pajkölen. The purchase price will amount to a maximum of approximately MSEK 30. Approximately MSEK 15 will be received at closing and the remaining part at completion of the grid connection. Closing took place after the end of the reporting period. Arise will not be responsible for construction management or asset management of Pajkölen after commissioning. In addition, the transaction also includes a potential earnout payment of approximately MSEK 15, which will be realised at certain prices for ancillary services during the first three years after commissioning.

Stable positive earnings and Arise makes its first sale in energy storage

The third quarter was also characterised by low electricity prices combined with weak winds, which is reflected in our production revenue, which is significantly lower year-on-year. Nevertheless, we can report a total EBITDA of MSEK 55 and profit before tax of MSEK 24, demonstrating a robust and well diversified business model.

In September, Arise made its first transaction in energy storage (BESS) with the sale of the 40 MW Pajkölen project. The transaction means that we are now delivering on our diversification strategy with new technologies and demonstrating our ability to create value by taking advantage of the company's platform, the synergies between different projects and market knowledge. The project quickly reached the ready-to-build phase and, in addition to the direct sales proceeds, the transaction entails a material, positive contribution for the Kölvallen project, with lower capex as a result of Pajkölen's investment contribution to the grid connection. All other things being equal, this entails a higher earnout for the Kölvallen project. The Pajkölen transaction clearly demonstrates the realisable value of our project portfolio in which we now have about 650 MW of battery energy storage system (BESS) in various geographies.

The electricity markets will remain largely weather dependent in the short term, but we believe that we have now likely witnessed the lowest levels for some time to come based on expected increased consumption during the winter period and hopes of an improved European economy. In addition to the base industry's green transition, a global comprehensive expansion of energy-intense data centres is underway, which is also expected to have a major impact on European electricity consumption.

There has been low activity in the transaction market during the year with few project sales, partly the result of low electricity prices but also due to interest-rate levels, the economy and general global circumstances in light of political uncertainty and war. We remain optimistic about improved market conditions in the relatively near future, with falling interest rates and yield requirements as well as higher electricity prices. During the year, a number of transactions were completed in which private equity companies have acquired industrial companies, and where their view of the market is clearly positive, looking at the valuation levels.

As regards energy policy, positive signs emerged from the Swedish government for the first time in a long time that municipalities with wind power would get an amount of compensation corresponding to the wind farms' property tax, thus improving prerequisites to obtain permits and sending a positive signal to the entire industry.

Our focus on accelerating projects from early to late developmental phases in order to realise projects in the near term resulted in an increase of projects in late developmental phases by 155 MW during the quarter and by 330 MW to date during the year.

To conclude, three quarters of the year are complete, and overall the company has posted satisfactory earnings in a challenging market environment. We are delivering on our strategy and expect the fourth quarter to contribute to making 2024 another good year for the company!

Halmstad, 7 November 2024 Per-Erik Eriksson CEO

"Our focus on accelerating projects from early to late developmental phases in order to realise projects in the near term resulted in an increase of projects in late developmental phases by 155 MW during the quarter and by 330 MW to date during the year."

Net sales and results

Net sales 105 96 317 313
EBITDA 55 59 178 204
EBIT 33 43 120 157
Profit before tax 24 35 101 123
Profit after tax 63 35 139 123

Com m e nts on the third q uarte r

The sale of Pajkölen has a positive impact on the earnout for Kölvallen corresponding to about MEUR 3. As a result, income for Development increased considerably compared with the year-earlier quarter since the corresponding amount was recognised during the quarter. In Production, the third quarter was characterised by significantly lower market prices for electricity than in the year-earlier quarter. In Solutions, revenue was in line with the year-earlier quarter.

Net sales were MSEK 105 (96). Production generated 66 GWh (60) while the average realised price declined to SEK 469 per MWh (718). Operating expenses amounted to MSEK -56 (-40). Overall, EBITDA amounted to MSEK 55 (59). Depreciation amounted to MSEK -22 (-16), resulting in EBIT of MSEK 33 (43). Net financial items amounted to MSEK -9 (-8), of which exchange rate differences corresponded to MSEK 2 (6). The company's electricity production assets are valued in EUR and income is received in EUR. The company has therefore chosen to take loans in EUR, creating a natural hedge. Changes to the EUR/SEK exchange rate will continue to affect comparability of net financial items, whereby a strengthening of SEK will improve the net and vice versa. Corresponding reverse value changes in SEK terms for the underlying assets are not recognised. Profit before tax amounted to MSEK 24 (35). During the quarter, the company recognised a deferred tax asset related to the loss carryforwards in the company's production assets, which are expected to be utilised over time. Profit after tax therefore amounted to MSEK 63 (35).

Cash flow and investments

Com m e nts on the third q uarte r

Cash flow from operating activities before changes in working capital was MSEK 53 (56). Changes in working capital were MSEK -10 (-104) and the total operating cash flow was thus MSEK 43 (-47). Net cash flow from investing activities was MSEK -51 (-183). Cash flow after investments thus amounted to MSEK -8 (-231). Interest and financing costs of MSEK -16 (-13) were paid. Share buybacks were carried out for a total of MSEK -13 (0), after which cash flow for the quarter, adjusted for lease effects, amounted to MSEK -39 (-96).

Financing and liquidity

At the end of the period, the company had a net debt of MSEK 395 (270), an increase that was primarily explained by loans raised related to the construction of the Lebo project, which was completed during the second quarter and is included in the company's own production. In addition, the company paid dividends and carried out share buybacks in order to optimise the company's capital structure and increase shareholder value. Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the period totalled MSEK 762 (830). At the end of the period, the equity/assets ratio was 56% (58). The company's loans related to the production assets amounted to approximately MEUR 55 at the end of the period. As these loans mature in July 2025, they are recognised as short-term liabilities. The duration of these loans is expected to be extended in the fourth quarter of 2024 or the first quarter of 2025.

Com m e nts on the third quarter

Revenue increased during the quarter, driven by revenue of MEUR 3 that was recognized as a result of Pajkölen's impact on the earnout for Kölvallen.

The project portfolio continued to develop positively during the quarter, especially with efforts to accelerate projects leading to an increase in late-stage projects by about 150 MW despite Pajkölen being removed from the portfolio. The total portfolio in Finland increased by 80 MW. Development activities in the UK remain successful and, even though the project portfolio in the UK remained unchanged during the quarter, it has matured considerably. During the quarter, land was also secured for onshore wind projects in England, with the hope that these projects will qualify for the project portfolio during the year. Line concession work is ongoing for Finnåberget in Sweden and the continued goal is to be able to divest the

project in 2025, although uncertainty remains regarding the capacity of the grid connection. In Ukraine, discussions on cooperation and evaluation of several projects with good potential are ongoing.

Income increased to MSEK 62 (42). Cost of sold projects amounted to MSEK -1 (0). Other operating expenses and capitalised work totalled MSEK -19 (-15). EBITDA amounted to MSEK 43 (27). Depreciation and amortisation amounted to MSEK -1 (0), whereby EBIT amounted to MSEK 42 (27). Net financial items amounted to MSEK -7 (-5), of which exchange rate differences corresponded to MSEK 1 (8). Profit before tax thus amounted to MSEK 35 (23).

Portfolio

Arise's development portfolio on the reporting date is presented below, amounting to approximately 8,100 MW. The portfolio is divided into projects in late developmental phases, which amount to a total of just over 1,200 MW, and projects in early developmental phases, which amount to a total of approximately 6,900 MW. The company is working actively to expand the project portfolio particularly concerning wind power, solar power and battery projects in the Nordic countries, the UK and Ukraine, but is also continuously evaluating new geographies. Germany, for example, is considered an interesting market based on the country's ambitious commitments regarding renewable energy. Efforts to expand the project portfolio include greenfield projects and acquisitions of projects at varying stages.

In working to increase its project portfolio, Arise is evaluating a number of different conceivable projects. The vast majority of the projects being evaluated do not qualify for further development as they are not deemed realisable given their production conditions (wind and solar conditions), permit risks, grid capacity and economic potential. These primary factors were determined to be promising for the projects below. While individual projects may not always be realised, the overall project portfolio represents high potential value for the company, with relatively little capital tied-up and low risk.

Com m e nts on the third q uarte r

The quarter was characterised by significantly lower market prices than in the same period last year. Production at the company's wind farms increased to 66 GWh (60). However, average income decreased markedly to SEK 469 per MWh (718) due to significantly lower market prices than in the year-earlier period. The company's price hedges meant that the average income nonetheless exceeded the average market price for the period.

Income amounted to MSEK 31 (43). Operating expenses amounted to MSEK -15 (-12), corresponding to a specific operating expense of SEK -226 per MWh (-201). EBITDA thus decreased to MSEK 16 (31). Depreciation increased to MSEK -20 (-15) and EBIT thus amounted to MSEK -4 (17). Net financial items amounted to MSEK -3 (1), of which exchange rate differences corresponded to MSEK 2 (5). Profit / loss before tax thus amounted to MSEK -7 (18).

In accordance with IFRS, the production assets are not recognised at market value, but the company tests for impairment annually. In the impairment test in 2024, the value in use of the production assets exceeded the carrying amount by about MEUR 701) (60), which is included in the key performance indicator "Adjusted equity per share."

1) Based on a discount rate of 7.5%, the company's forecasts and energy price forecasts prepared by external experts. A change in the discount rate of +/- one percentage point would affect the value by almost MEUR 15.

Othe r sig nific ant e ve nts d uring th e q uarte r

There were no other significant events during the quarter.

Re late d -p arty tran sac tio ns

No significant transactions with related parties took place during the period.

Conting e nt liab ilitie s

The Group's contingent liabilities are related to guarantees and counter indemnities that are issued to support the Group's obligations connected to solar and wind power projects. These are described in more detail on page 89 under Note 22 in the 2023 Annual Report. The company's counter indemnity related to Arise Wind Farm 20 AB expired in 2024.

Sig nific ant e ve nts afte r the e nd o f th e re p orting p e riod

In November 2024, the sale of Pajkölen BESS AB to Flower Infrastructure Technologies AB was completed.

Outlook

There continues to be high uncertainty and global risks concerning security politics and energy supply, which makes the ongoing energy transition increasingly obvious in society. Despite a weak economy, demand for renewable energy production remains very strong. The company is well positioned with production of renewable electricity and a strong project portfolio. Accordingly, we see very good opportunities for continued growth and continued shareholder value creation. Our strong financial situation means that we have increased opportunities to maximise value creation in the business and also optimise our long-term income from both production and the project portfolio.

Risks and unc e rtaintie s

Risks and uncertainties affecting the Group are described on pages 49–50 of the 2023 Annual Report, and financial risk management is presented on pages 79–83.

Own e rship struc ture

A presentation of the company's ownership structure is available on the website (www.arise.se)

Divid e nd p olic y

According to the company's financial targets, dividends shall exceed 20% of profit after tax attributable to the Parent Company shareholders.

Parent Company

The Parent Company's operations comprise project development (identifying suitable solar and wind power locations, signing land lease agreements, producing impact assessments, preparing detailed development plans and permits), divesting projects to external investors, contracts and project management of new projects, managing internal and external projects (technically and financially) and managing the Group's trading of electricity and guarantees of origin.

The Parent Company manages the Group's production plans and electricity hedges in accordance with the adopted financial policy.

During the third quarter, the Parent Company's total income amounted to MSEK 23 (12) and purchases of electricity, certificates and guarantees of origin, personnel and other external expenses, capitalised work on own account and depreciation of non-current assets totalled MSEK -32 (-21), resulting in EBIT of MSEK -9 (-8). Net financial income of MSEK 1 (25) resulted in net profit / loss after tax of MSEK -8 (16). The Parent Company's net investments amounted to MSEK -28 (47).

Introd uc tion

We have performed a review of the interim condensed financial information (interim report) of Arise AB (publ) at 30 September 2024, and the nine-month period ending on that date. The Board of Directors and the CEO are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim financial report in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on this interim report based on our review.

Dire c tio n and sc op e of th e re vie w

We have conducted our review in accordance with the International Standard on Review Engagements ISRE 2410 Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. A review consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review has a different focus and is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the ISA, and with generally accepted auditing practices. The procedures performed in a review do not enable us to obtain a level of assurance that would make us aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Therefore, the opinion expressed on the basis of a review does not provide the same level of assurance as an opinion expressed on the basis of an audit.

Op inion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim report has not, in all material aspects, been compiled for the Group in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act, and for the Parent Company in accordance with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act.
