Cloudberry is a renewable energy company, born, bred, and operating in the Nordics. We develop, own and operate hydropower plants, wind farms and solar plants in Norway, Sweden and Denmark. We are powering the transition to a sustainable future by providing new renewable energy today and for future generations. As the junction box between capital, projects and local stakeholders, we balance respect for nature, biodiversity, and community values with sustainable and profitable growth. We believe in a fundamental, long-term and increasing demand for renewable energy in Europe. With this as a cornerstone, we have built a sustainable and scalable platform for creating stakeholder value.
Cloudberry has a "develop, own and operate" business model of renewable assets. Cloudberry is organized in three revenue generating segments and one cost-efficient corporate segment. After purchasing 100% of Captiva in December 2023, we rebranded the segments in 2024 into Projects (previously Development), Commercial (previously Production), and Asset Management (previously Operations). The scope, revenue, and cost streams of the segments are comparable to the previously reported segments.

Projects is a green-field developer of hydro, wind, solar and storage projects, including an experienced construction team in charge of building power plants with a solid track record. Commercial is an active owner of renewable power assets in the Nordics, and in charge of M&A and partnerships in Cloudberry. Asset Management manages and operates renewable assets primarily for external clients, as well as Cloudberry's own portfolio, ensuring sustainable performance and value creation for all stakeholders.
Our strong commitment to local communities and our integrated and responsible focus on the value chain ensures value creation and optimization of stakeholder interests.

Our portfolio of producing assets in Norway, Sweden and Denmark consists of 22 hydropower assets and 105 wind turbines (organized in six projects), wholly and partially owned. We have a local and active ownership strategy and prefer majority ownership; however, in certain investments we have shared ownership alongside strategic partners. The scalable Cloudberry platform is positioned for profitable growth, both in terms of energy production and growth in our in-house development portfolio. We are backed by strong owners and an experienced management team. Our shares are traded on the Oslo Stock Exchange's main list, ticker: CLOUD.
Cloudberry reports consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS and a supplementary proportionate segment reporting. Proportionate financials represent Cloudberry's proportionate share of the financial results, assets, and liabilities of all entities and excluding any eliminations of transactions between segments. Cloudberry believes that proportionate reporting provides enhanced insight into the operation, financing and future prospects of the Group. Proportionate reporting is aligned with internal management reporting, analysis and decision making.
Cloudberry is preparing for the adoption of the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) required by the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). The framework is based on the structure Environment, Social and Governance (ESG). For more information see our Sustainability chapter. See the Alternative Performance Measure (APM) chapter for further definitions.

Cloudberry has a robust and growing backlog and pipeline of new development opportunities across the Nordics. Through the acquisitions of Odin and Captiva, the development competence and access to greenfield opportunities have been significantly strengthened and integrated into a larger industrial framework. As of today, Cloudberry has an onshore pipeline of above 2,500 MW across the Nordics and an exclusive backlog of 1,033 MW.
Cloudberry's focus is towards projects offering favorable economic returns and low environmental impact. We believe these projects will add significant value to Cloudberry over time. This is underlined by the reduced availability of renewable projects in the southern parts of the Nordics due to more regulations, a strong focus on nature impact, and local stakeholder interests. Simultaneously, the demand for green power is rising.
Cloudberry collaborates with several large and undisclosed land owners to secure access to favorable land for development, as well as with established industrial companies as off-takers of green power. This approach aims to create beneficial projects for both Cloudberry and the industry. The recent strategic collaboration with Holmen, one of Sweden's largest land owners, is a great example of this adding 300 MW to the backlog over the quarter.

Cloudberry has organized its development activities through the Projects segments with a focus on three regions:
Norway: Primarily hydro development, and industrial wind & solar projects
Sweden: Primarily wind development, and evaluation of storage/battery
Denmark: Wind and solar development
Backlog: Consists of 30 exclusive projects (1,033 MW) across the Nordics:
After acquiring 100% of Captiva in December 2023, Cloudberry has ongoing efforts to streamline operations, reduce costs, and rebrand its business areas into Projects (previously Development), Commercial (previously Production), Asset Management (previously Operations), and Corporate. The full cost synergies are expected to become evident over the second half of 2024.
Cloudberry focuses on proven and uncorrelated technologies across the Nordic countries. The following table details the strategic focus areas. "IRR driven" indicates that the company evaluates projects but applies higher return requirements, particularly when compared to the same technology in other regions.

The final investment decision (FID) for Munkhyttan I (SE-3) was made in June 2023. Cloudberry has installed three Vestas V162 turbines, each with a capacity of 6.2 MW, under a long-term service contract with a ~97% uptime guarantee from Vestas. The expected annual production is 60 GWh. Per reporting date, all turbines have been commissioned and test production is currently underway. The project remains within budget and has been delivered ahead of the initial time schedule. Regular safety inspections are being conducted with no reported incidents. The total investment is estimated to just over EUR 30 million, with approximately EUR 3.5 million of remaining investment at the end of the third quarter 2024.
The share purchase agreement for Øvre Kvemma (NO-5) was signed in February 2022 before the plant was constructed securing Cloudberry's acquisition price. The construction of the hydro power plant was finished earlier this year, and the plant is now in full production. The commissioning period was completed in the second quarter of 2024, and the hydro power plant was subsequently taken over on 5 July 2024, on budget. The purchase price for the shares was approximately NOK 124 million, of which NOK 13 million had already been paid into an escrow account included under other current assets. The remaining purchase price of NOK 111 million was paid into the same escrow account, which will be released to the seller once certain legal conditions are fulfilled expected over the coming months. Cloudberry obtained financial ownership of the power plant on 5 July.
The construction of Sundby Vindpark (SE-3) was delivered on schedule and below budget, and all turbines are undergoing test production with site work completed. The production figures are included in the overall production metrics, while the test production financials are included in the Projects (Development) segment before internal handover to Commercial expected in the fourth quarter of 2024. The wind farm consists of nine 3.6 MW Vestas turbines with an estimated annual production of 89 GWh and has a long-term ~97% availability guarantee from Vestas. Due to pending grid upgrades expected in late 2025, Cloudberry can deliver 23.5 MW to the grid (32.4 MW total), however the economic impact of the curtailment is expected to be less than the proportionate lower grid capacity. Cloudberry has been reusing a significant amount of existing infrastructure, resulting in a low impact on nature and the environment. The total investment is estimated at EUR 50 million, with slightly above EUR 1 million in remaining investments at the end of the third quarter.
Nees Hede (Solar, DK-1): Through Odin Energy Holding P/S (Cloudberry 80%, Skovgaard 20%), Cloudberry has acquired the Nees Hede project, which comprises a total of 175 MW of solar capacity with permits in place. Nees Hede is a climate park with a favorable ESG footprint and strong local acceptance, situated in the attractive DK-1 price area on the western part of Jutland. The Nees Hede project represents an important milestone as it is the first project from the development agreement with Skovgaard.
The project has per the reporting date concluded on final design of the solar park and initiated the procurement process to prepare for a potential FID expected over the coming quarters. Due to the
decreasing capex for solar, Cloudberry will prioritize the Nees Hede project and is fully financed to execute on the FID.
Duvhällen (Wind, SE-3): Due to delays in the grid process, Cloudberry applied for a permit extension in 2023. The extension has been granted, providing the project with an additional four years to complete the construction and erection of the turbines. Early procurement preparations have continued over the quarter.
As of the reporting date, the backlog has increased to 1,033 MW across 30 exclusive projects, up from 686 MW in the same quarter last year. Since the last quarter 300 MW of wind projects from seven projects in the Holmen agreement have been added to the backlog after Cloudberry has successfully signed new land lease agreements.
Over the quarter, Cloudberry has actively, and with its partners, monitored the progress of permit applications filed earlier this year for projects Vindpark Östergötland (14 turbines), Björnetjärnsberget (17 turbines), and Munkhyttan II (3 turbines). Additionally, further work on other permit applications has continued, with the application for Ulricehamn expected to be filed in Q4 2024.
Stenkalles (Battery, SE-3). Cloudberry, together with Hafslund (50/50 owners) is developing an attractive storage/battery project. The existing 100 MW grid connection and transformer station in Karlstad, Sweden, are already in place and well-positioned to balance the grid. The project is currently under development with minimal cost burn, and all land rights have been secured over the quarter. Over the last year, the prices of large-scale batteries have fallen significantly, while the value of storage remains attractive due to the necessity of balancing short-term volatility in the Swedish power market.
Holmen agreement (Wind, SE-3). During the quarter, Cloudberry entered a strategic, long-term collaboration with Holmen Renewable Energy, part of Holmen, one of Sweden's largest land owners. This collaboration grants Cloudberry access to Holmen's land in SE3 for wind farm development, with Holmen having the option to purchase parts of the permitted projects. Currently, projects are in the startup phase, focusing on feasibility studies and stakeholder engagement. Over the quarter 300 MW of landowner agreements with Holmen have been signed, which has been added to the backlog. Cloudberry is also exploring opportunities to integrate Holmen's land with surrounding areas to optimize project outcomes and Cloudberry sees significant growth opportunities as the collaboration progresses.
Cloudberry remains fully focused on maintaining close dialogue with local communities, public and private landowners to ensure efficient permitting processes, minimize environmental impact, and gain access to additional sites.
The Swedish government's recent decision to close the Baltic Sea to offshore wind energy poses challenges for Sweden's green energy transition and upcoming electricity supply. The Swedish transmission system operator (TSO), Svenska Kraftnät, and the Energy Agency emphasize that
onshore wind power must now be accelerated to compensate for the lost offshore capacity, as their forecasts include approximately 50 TWh of offshore wind.
As previously communicated, Cloudberry has stopped its focus on offshore wind energy following the increased capex and has no offshore wind assets on its balance sheet. Although this is a setback for the energy transition, it strengthens the potential for Cloudberry's onshore wind projects.
Cloudberry is also working on a large non-exclusive pipeline of promising projects across Norway, Sweden, and Denmark, totaling approximately 2 500 MW of hydro, solar, and onshore wind projects. Prior to signing land leases, a structured approach to site evaluation improves the project hit rate and reduces risk.
Commercial's focus is to increase Cloudberry's fundamental value per share by actively engaging in hydro, wind, solar and storge projects across the Nordic value chain. A recent example of this strategy is the sale of three hydropower assets in the second quarter of 2024, which demonstrated significant value creation with a sale price exceeding 2.3 times the booked equity and an internal rate of return (IRR) of approximately 28% p.a. A majority of the proceeds was used to increase ownership in the Forte portfolio to 49.99%. The transactions represent an optimization of Cloudberry's portfolio composition by shifting hydro production from the historically less attractive NO3 and NO4 price areas, represented by the sold assets, to the more attractive NO2 and NO5 price areas, in addition to generating NOK 40m in liquidity.
Cloudberry's proportionate power production in the third quarter totaled 145 GWh, a ~6% decrease from 155 GWh in the same quarter last year, mainly explained by low production at Odal (see further details below). The table shows the proportionate production for the quarter, broken down by different price areas.
| Production (GWh) | Q3 2024 | Q3 2023 |
|---|---|---|
| NO-1 | 20 | 42 |
| NO-2 | 24 | 23 |

| DK-2 | 1 | 1 |
| Total | 145 | 155 |
| Of which hydro | 60 | 55 |
| Of which wind | 85 | 100 |
Proportionate wind power production totaled 85 GWh in the third quarter (100 GWh). Munkhyttan began test production after the quarter ended and is therefore not included in the third quarter of 2024 production volumes. The reduced wind production is primarily due to Odal Wind, further described below.
Proportionate hydro power production totaled 60 GWh in the third quarter (55 GWh). In Q2 2024, Cloudberry completed a hydro asset swap, selling three hydropower assets while increasing its ownership in the Forte portfolio from 34% to 49.99%. The swap optimized Cloudberry's portfolio as mentioned above and, in addition to the newly completed hydropower plant Øvre Kvemma in NO5, explains the majority of the difference in production volumes in NO-3, NO-4 and NO-5.
The turbines in the Odal wind farm are from the Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy 4.X series, which have been reported by Siemens Gamesa to have blade and main bearing issues related to the platform. On 10 April, 2024, the wind farm was shut down following a blade break incident on turbine 9. Fortunately, there were no personnel injuries and there was no damage to other equipment. Siemens Gamesa immediately shut down the entire wind farm for a thorough review, with the incident covered under Odal Wind's contracts with Siemens Gamesa.
During the third quarter, the blade repair campaign was intensified, with teams, replacement blades, and a main crane mobilized on site. The campaign includes mainly blade exchanges and up-tower repairs. A blade-specific inspection and monitoring program has been implemented and repairs are verified by a specialist project team from the Odal Wind task force.
On 12 August, Odal Wind resumed production after the temporary halt, with 20 turbines now operational. Siemens Gamesa plans to sequentially restart the remaining turbines, aiming for full operation, except for turbine 9, by year-end 2024. Odal Wind continues to collaborate closely with Siemens Gamesa to ensure the entire park becomes operational safely and promptly.
The cash payment for the first availability period has been received and recorded in the second quarter of 2024, with no availability warranty income recorded in the third quarter of 2024. Further, the discussions with Odal Wind's lenders concluded with a waiver and no material changes to the loan agreement.
Necessary and strong actions have been and will continue to be taken to safeguard Odal wind farm's position towards Siemens Gamesa.
Cloudberry realized an average net power price of NOK 0.47 per kWh (NOK 0.50 per kWh) compared to the Nordic system price of NOK 0.23 per kWh over the quarter. This showcases Cloudberry's favorable portfolio composition in the relatively higher southern price areas compared to the theoretical average of the Nordic region.
During the third quarter, 11% of Cloudberry's production was sold at fixed (hedged) prices. As of the reporting date, Cloudberry had established hedges for its power sales in accordance with the table below. Further a pay-as-produced GO hedge is in place in the Odin portfolio, covering about 160
GWh over three years at approximately EUR 5 per GO. Cloudberry aims to hedge around 30% of its production to cover all interest and overhead costs, with this strategy being phased in over time.

The Asset Management segment, organized under the fully integrated Captiva Group, focuses on management services and digital solutions. Cloudberry completed its acquisition of Captiva in December 2023, and integration efforts, including a digital reorganization, was conducted over the second and third quarter of 2024 and expected to reduce run-rate costs through 2H 2024. Please see the stock exchange announcement 30.08.2024 for details about the digital reorganization.
Asset Management continued its integration with other segments of Cloudberry with the addition of the following main activities over the quarter:
Cloudberry successfully reorganized its digital investments in Kraftanmelding and the Captiva Portal this quarter. On 30 August, Elmera Group ASA, Cloudberry, Småkraft AS, founders and employees, partnered in Kraftanmelding AS for balancing services and power trading. Elmera, Småkraft, and Kraftanmelding employees invested over NOK 20 million, while Cloudberry contributed its digital business. This led to a pre-money valuation of Kraftanmelding at approximately 1.4 times Cloudberry's book value, resulting in a NOK 8.3 million gain over the quarter. Post-transaction, ownership is divided among Elmera (34%), Cloudberry (32%), Småkraft (8%), and founders and employees (27%).
Kraftanmelding, a leader in balancing services for run-of-river hydro power in Norway, addresses the growing need for flexibility due to increased intermittent power production in the Nordics. Its digital solutions, alongside Captiva's, enable power producers to access new markets and boost revenues. With Elmera, a major Nordic power consumer (about 21 TWh annually), Kraftanmelding effectively connects Nordic power producers with consumers, enhancing revenue and reducing costs.
Cloudberry focuses on optimizing liquidity and reducing costs to boost profitability. The Sundby and Munkhyttan projects were initially equity-financed, leveraging Cloudberry's strong cash reserves. In
the second quarter of 2024, EUR 25 million in debt was drawn for the Sundby project with an additional EUR 16 million drawn subsequent to the third quarter of 2024 for Munkhyttan. The Øvre Kvemma project remains equity-financed, with plans to finance 50% of the acquisition cost with debt in upcoming quarters.
Cloudberry has an attractive NOK 2.20 billion credit facility, with approximately NOK 1.65 billion currently utilized, including the Munkhyttan debt.
About 75% of the proportionate debt is fixed on long-term contracts at an all-in rate (including margins) below 4% p.a.
Cloudberry is actively advancing current projects and investing in future opportunities, building a robust backlog and pipeline. We are further exploring energy storage to support balancing markets and optimize production timing, enhancing our asset mix in the Nordics. A diversified production portfolio, a robust pipeline of projects at different stages of maturity, and an efficient platform with dedicated teams are vital for reaching our goals.
Project execution remains a top priority for us. We are pleased to announce that the Munkhyttan project has entered test production ahead of schedule, within budget and with no safety issues. Additionally, we are pursuing new opportunities in hydro projects in Norway, as well as storage and wind projects in Sweden. In Denmark, our strong partnership with Skovgaard continues with several ongoing accretive initiatives. We are also thrilled to have established a long-term collaboration agreement with Holmen. These partnerships will significantly reduce development risk, enhance our project portfolio and showcase our capability to collaborate with major, professional land owners.
At Odal Wind, our primary focus is restoring the wind farm to full operation as quickly as possible. Together with our partners in Odal Wind and Siemens Gamesa, we are working diligently to have all turbines nearly fully operational by the end of the year. We are pleased to report that our collaboration with Siemens Gamesa is progressing well and Cloudberry is committed to protecting the interests of all stakeholders in Odal Wind.
Looking ahead, our platform remains streamlined and focused on continuous project development, both in-house and through M&A opportunities, as well as commercial operations and asset management. We are actively pursuing project development, particularly in hydro, wind, and storage. ESG remains a top priority, and we are dedicated to staying ahead of new developments and requirements. Cloudberry will maintain its strong focus on value creation and local stakeholder management in the Nordics, delivering clean renewable energy for future generations.
Cloudberry is committed to providing renewable energy today and for future generations and driving the transition to a sustainable future in line with our core values. Our long-term success hinges on our interdependent sustainable and profitable operations. We systematically manage key sustainability topics internally and across our value chain, guided by a double materiality analysis that informs our strategic decisions. This approach is essential for creating long-term value.

1 As a basis for calculating the positive contribution (avoided emissions), Cloudberry has used the European electricity mix (EU-27, IEA 2023)
2 Work injuries defined as lost time injury. See Sustainability Report 2023 for more details.
3 The results from the Employee engagement index and the Equal opportunities index originate from the annual survey in Dec 2023. The score is 1 to 6, with 6 as the highest score.
In the third quarter, Cloudberry's proportionate power production was 145 GWh (155 GWh). The avoided emissions relative to baseline emissions from the European electricity mix (EU-27 electricity mix, IEA 2023) are equivalent to 33,974 tCO2e (34,410 tCO2e). Avoided emissions are behind target due to the reduced production at the Odal wind farm. See the Operational review for more information.
Cloudberry reports direct and indirect greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions on a quarterly basis. The GHG accounting went through a limited assurance by the Company's auditor for the first time for the 2023 reporting (see the Sustainability Report 2023 for more information). The GHG emissions from Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 in the third quarter 2024 amounted to 52 tCO2e (8,196 tCO2e). The reduction is primarily due to the absence of ongoing construction projects, as the main construction activities at Munkhyttan are concluded.
Cloudberry emphasizes respect for nature and aims to ensure minimal impact on natural habitats and biodiversity in our projects. Understanding our projects' impact on nature and wildlife is crucial for mitigating negative effects. Over the past two years, we have partnered with Spoor AI, utilizing their groundbreaking technology in advanced computer vision and AI to detect, track, and classify birds at wind farms. The pilot project at our Røyrmyra wind farm concluded in the third quarter, observing around 240,000 birds. Preliminary analyses indicate that fewer than one bird per turbine per year collides, demonstrating the importance of local knowledge and the use of modern technology in understanding and mitigating our projects' impacts on the environment.
In the first quarter of 2024, Cloudberry updated the Taxonomy report for the full year of 2023. The report outlines how our activities contribute substantially to the EU Taxonomy objectives without doing any significant harm and complying with the minimum safeguards.

Health, safety, and environmental (HSE) measures are of the highest importance to Cloudberry. We constantly work to reduce risks involved during the construction of the company's projects. During the third quarter, no incidents causing harm to people's health or serious material damage were
recorded at Cloudberry. With the conclusion of construction at Munkhyttan and no other ongoing construction projects, the HSE risk at Cloudberry was reduced in the third quarter.
Although Cloudberry is not operationally responsible at the Odal Wind farm, we ensure that HSE standards are upheld during repair work. Preventive HSE activities remain a high priority, including local collaboration efforts. At the Sundby wind farm, we partnered with the Fire Department of Eskilstuna kommun and Vestas to conduct a joint safety exercise. This event aimed to enhance safety protocols by familiarizing all parties with the wind farm's layout and features, improving coordination, and ensuring preparedness in case of emergencies.
Cloudberry is committed to fostering diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) within the organization. In the third quarter of 2024, we formed a cross-sectional social sustainability group to enhance our DEI efforts and address feedback from the engagement survey. Following our Pride Month activities, a follow-up survey was conducted to continue advancing inclusion and diversity.
To further support employee engagement, we introduced "Young Cloud," an initiative aimed at nurturing our young and talented employees. Additionally, we continue to implement concrete initiatives in recruitment processes to improve female representation and diversity within the company.
In the third quarter, Cloudberry engaged with various local stakeholders, including politicians, landowners, neighbors, students, and media, to address local concerns, provide information about our projects, and illustrate how Cloudberry contributes to local value creation.
A key initiative in the third quarter was our collaboration with Kraftkvinnene, where we convened a group of 100 women from the energy sector. This event facilitated professional networking and collaboration, underscoring our commitment to influencing the renewable energy industry by fostering networks and promoting the role of women in the sector.
There were no whistleblowing reports and no reported or detected incidents of corruption or fraud during the third quarter of 2024.
During this period, we enhanced our governance framework by updating our IT policies to improve data security and operational efficiency. The updated Code of Conduct was implemented in the third quarter, thus ensuring its integration into and reflection of our organizational culture. In investor relations, we revised our policies to align with new regulations and to enhance transparency in our communications. Additionally, our whistleblowing policy was updated to enhance protections, and
reporting mechanisms, reinforcing our commitment to ethical business practices and accountability.
In the third quarter, Cloudberry focused on enhancing supplier dialogue and integrating lessons from the recent supplier audit to improve practices and collaboration. We emphasize transparency by sharing updates from the Transparency Act report and audit findings internally to foster learning and improvement. These efforts align with our commitment to mitigating risks related to human rights, working conditions, and environmental impacts in our value chain.
In the third quarter, the Group completed two transactions that impacted the financial reporting. First, on 5 July, the Commercial segment acquired the shares in Øvre Kvemma Kraftverk AS, a hydropower plant that began producing and generating revenue from the takeover date. The purchase price for the shares was approximately NOK 124 million, of which NOK 13 million had already been paid into an escrow account. The remaining purchase price of NOK 111 million was paid into the same escrow account, which will be released to the seller once certain legal conditions are fulfilled expected over the coming months. The total payment obligation is recognized under short-term liabilities with the corresponding escrow account included under other current assets.
On 30 August, the Group (Captiva) reorganized its digital investments in Kraftanmelding AS (Kraftanmelding) and the Captiva Portal. The Group transferred its digital business with assets and related employees to Kraftanmelding, a Captiva subsidiary. Kraftanmelding further raised over NOK 20m from Elmera, Småkraft, and its employees, at a pre-money valuation at approximately 1.4x Cloudberry's current book values. The capital increase reduced the Group's ownership share in Kraftanmelding to 31.6% and leading to the deconsolidation of Kraftanmelding. The new ownership stake is now recognized as an associated company, and a gain of NOK 8.3m was recorded in the third quarter in the Asset Management segment from this transaction.
(Figures in brackets represent same quarter last year)
Total revenues. Consolidated and proportionate revenues for the third quarter were NOK 84m and NOK 88m respectively (NOK 74m and NOK 86m).
EBITDA. Consolidated and proportionate EBITDA for the third quarter were NOK 13m and NOK 14m respectively (NOK 2m and NOK 14m).
The increase in consolidated revenues and EBITDA compared to the same quarter last year is mainly due to the gain from the divestments related to Kraftanmelding of NOK 8.3m recognized in the third quarter.
EBIT. The consolidated EBIT in the third quarter amounted to NOK -29m (NOK -42m).

The table below summarizes the key figures on a consolidated basis.
| NOK million | Q3 2024 | Q3 2023 | YTD 2024 | YTD 2023 | FY 2023 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue and other income | 84 | 74 | 420 | 477 | 610 |
| Net income/(loss) from associated companies and JV | -11 | -13 | 42 | 14 | -72 |
| EBITDA | 13 | 2 | 251 | 303 | 263 |
| Operating profit (EBIT) | -29 | -42 | 123 | 220 | 37 |
| Profit/loss from total operations | -17 | -38 | 126 | 399 | 233 |

| Cash and cash equivalents | 706 | 784 | 706 | 784 | 779 |
| Equity | 4 789 | 4 889 | 4 789 | 4 889 | 4 617 |
| Interst bearing debt | 1 760 | 1 442 | 1 760 | 1 442 | 1 585 |
| Net interest bearing debt (NIBD) | 1 053 | 658 | 1 053 | 658 | 806 |
| Basic earings per share | -0.06 | -0.12 | 0.38 | 1.39 | 0.93 |
Total consolidated total revenue for the third quarter was NOK 84m, compared to NOK 74m in the same period last year. The increase of NOK 10m is primarily attributed to a gain of NOK 8m recognized from the divestment related to sale of business to Kraftanmelding and subsequent reduction of ownership share.
Net income from associated companies and JVs represents Cloudberry's investment in Odal Wind, Forte, parts of the Odin portfolio, Stenkalles and Kraftanmelding, utilizing the equity method to account for Cloudberry's proportion of the companies' net income in the consolidated accounts. The net income from Odin, Odal Wind, and Forte primarily represents profit from power sales and is included in the Commercial segment for the proportionate figures, while Stenkalles is now a storage development project, and its net income is included in the Projects segment. Kraftanmelding will be included in the Asset Management segment going forward.
Net income from associated companies and JVs was NOK -11m (NOK -13m) in the third quarter, an increase of NOK 2m from the same quarter last year. The main reason for the increase is the increased net income from the Forte portfolio of NOK 5m and Odal of NOK 1m, which is offset by a reduction from the associated companies in the Odin portfolio of NOK 4m.
In the third quarter, net income from the Forte portfolio was NOK 1m (NOK -4m), Odal Wind was NOK -8m (NOK -9m), and the Odin portfolio of associates and JVs represented NOK -4m (NOK 1m).
EBITDA in the third quarter was NOK 13m (NOK 2m). The increase of NOK 11m is comprised of increased total revenues of NOK 10m, while operating expenses have increased by NOK 1m and net income from associated companies and JVs have increased by NOK 2m.
Operating expenses are overall in line with same quarter previous year. A non-cash cost related to the issued warrants of NOK 4m was booked over the quarter.
EBIT in the third quarter was NOK -29m (NOK -42m). The improvement of NOK 13m is due to an increase in EBITDA of NOK 11m and a decrease in depreciations and amortization totaling NOK 2m. The decrease in depreciations and amortizations includes larger depreciations of NOK 5m and a decrease in amortizations of NOK 7m. The decrease in amortization of NOK 4m is due to the reduction in book value of intangible assets which was written down in fourth quarter 2023 and further deconsolidated in the Kraftanmelding transaction. Additionally, a further reduction is due to a PPA contract asset amortized in the Odin portfolio which ended in 2023, representing a reduction of NOK 3m compared to same quarter last year.
Net finance cost in the third quarter was NOK 9m (NOK 6m). This is mainly related to an interest expense of NOK 17m and a gain on FX of net NOK 20m which is primarily related to internal group balances. Additionally, financial income of a total of NOK 7m is mainly related to interest income.
Equity has increased with NOK 172m from NOK 4 617m to NOK 4 789m from year end 2023 to end of the third quarter. Profit from total operations is NOK 126m and net other comprehensive income is NOK 108m. Share-based payments increased by net NOK 13m, while other transactions with noncontrolling interests represent NOK -76m (mainly dividends paid to non-controlling interest in the Odin portfolio and deconsolidation of non-controlling interests in Kraftanmelding AS). Cloudberry's equity ratio as of 30 September 2024 was 69% (69% as of 31 December 2023).
Cash and cash equivalents were NOK 706m per 30 September 2024, a reduction of NOK 73m from year end 2023. The change comprises mainly NOK 208m from operating activities, NOK -247m from investment activities and NOK -40m stems from financing activities. The effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents was NOK 5m. In the third quarter, Cloudberry had a net working capital movement resulting in a negative cashflow of NOK 53m, which explains the negative cash flow from operating activities of NOK 20m over the quarter. The net working capital position is expected to normalize over the coming quarters, following the deconsolidation of Kraftanmelding.
Total interest-bearing debt has increased from NOK 1 585m to NOK 1 760m from year end 2023 to end of the third quarter. The increase of NOK 175m is comprised of new drawn debt of NOK 282m, offset by the payment of principal amounts of NOK 62m and payment of debt related to disposed assets and other debt of NOK 129m. Changes in the fair value of interest rate derivatives have increased the debt by NOK 14m, while changes in foreign exchange rates have increased the debt by NOK 71m, of which NOK 58m is recognized in the profit or loss statement and NOK 13m is included in OCI. The debt currencies are structured to match the underlying assets functional currency to reduce risk and achieve a natural hedge on the foreign exchange fluctuations.
Proportionate financials represent Cloudberry's proportionate share of the results of all entities and without eliminations based on Cloudberry's economic interest. Entities that are not consolidated are included with their proportionate ownership and for consolidated subsidiaries below 100% ownership, the share of non-controlling interest is excluded. Please refer to the chapter Alternative Performance Measures (APM) for further definitions and reconciliations.
The table below summarizes the key figures on a proportionate basis.

Cloudberry Clean Energy ASA ("the Company"), its subsidiaries and investments in associated companies and joint ventures ("the Group" or "Cloudberry") is an independent power producer, developing, owning and operating renewable assets in the Nordics. Cloudberry has an integrated business model across the life cycle of renewable power plants including project development, construction, financing, ownership, operation and management.
Cloudberry Clean Energy ASA is incorporated and domiciled in Norway. The address of its registered office is Frøyas gate 15, NO-0273 Oslo, Norway. Cloudberry Clean Energy ASA was established on 10 November 2017. The Company is listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange main list (ticker: CLOUD).
The condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the third quarter of 2024 were authorized by the Board of Directors for issue on 7 November 2024.
The accounting policies applied by Cloudberry in these interim financial statements are consistent with those of the financial year 2023. The presentation currency is NOK (Norwegian Krone).
On 30 August, the Group (Captiva) carried out a business transfer, including sale of the Captiva portal and shares in Proxima Hydrotech AS, to Kraftanmelding AS, as part of the transformation of the digital investments in the Group. At the same time Kraftanmelding carried out a capital increase.
The transformation comprised of the following agreements:
• Captiva carried out a business transfer to Kraftanmelding AS for a consideration of NOK 10m. The business transfer included a total of three employees and intangible assets related to the Captiva portal. The consideration was settled with issuance of a seller credit with maturity in 4 years.
The total net gain recognized from these transactions was NOK 8.3m and is presented as other income in the statement of profit or loss for the third quarter.
Post-transaction, the ownership of Kraftanmelding is divided among Elmera (34%), Cloudberry (32%), Småkraft (8%), and founders and employees (27%).
As the Group have reduced ownership from 50.05% to 31.57%, all assets and liabilities related to Kraftanmelding were deconsolidated as of 30 August. The ownership share of 32% in Kraftanmelding is recognized as an associated company at fair value and will be equity accounted in the consolidated accounts going forward.
The gain and all assets and liabilities are reported under the Asset Management segment.
On 28 June, Cloudberry signed a share sale agreement with Cadre AS for the sale of 100% of the shares in Usma Kraft AS (Usma), Bjørgelva Kraft AS (Bjørgelva) and Finnesetbekken Kraftverk AS (Finnesetbekken). Please refer to note 2 in the second quarter and half year report 2024 for further information about the transaction.
In 2024, Cloudberry, as part of the integration of Captiva, rebranded the names of the segments into Projects (previously Development), Commercial (previously Production), and Asset Management (previously Operations). The scope, revenue, and cost streams of the segments are comparable to the previous segments.
The Group reports its operations in four operating segments.
• Corporate is a cost-efficient segment that ensures management tasks for the Group like financing, marketing, reporting and other corporate activities.
The Group reports proportionate financials (APM) for each operating segment. Proportionate financials represent Cloudberry's proportionate share of the results of all entities and without eliminations based on Cloudberry's economic interest. The reporting recognizes Cloudberry's proportionate share of results for entities that are not consolidated and consolidated subsidiaries held at less than 100%, excluding the share of non-controlling interest.
Proportionate financials are further defined and described in the APM section of this report.
Due to the reorganization of the digital investments in Captiva, the ownership share in Kraftanmelding AS has been reduced from 50.05% to 31.57%. Therefore, the profit or loss figures are included with the previous ownership share up until the transaction, while thereafter the figures are included with the new ownership share. Assets and liabilities are included with the new ownership share as of September 30. The investment is reported under the Asset Management segment.
The additional investment in Forte, which was completed on 28 June in the previous quarter, increased the ownership share from 34% to 49.99%. Therefore, the profit or loss figures in Forte are included with the previous ownership share up until the transaction, while in the third quarter the figures are based on the increased ownership.
The Group increased the ownership in Captiva from 60% to 100% on 19 December 2023. Captiva is a part of the Asset Management segment. The segment reporting for 2024 therefore includes a 100% ownership of the Captiva Group, while comparable figures for 2023 represent a 60% ownership share.
The tables below show the proportionate segment reporting for the respective periods Q3 2024, Q3 2023, YTD 2024, YTD 2023 and FY 2023. The tables include a reconciliation to the Group consolidated IFRS reported figures. Please refer to the APM section of this report for further reconciliations to the Group IFRS reported figures.

The Group's segment financials are reported on a proportionate basis.
The Group introduces Proportionate Financials, as the Group is of the opinion that this method improves transparency and earnings visibility, and also aligns with internal management reporting. The key differences between the proportionate and the consolidated IFRS financials are that all entities are included with the Group respective ownership share:
From the consolidated IFRS reported figures, to arrive at the proportionate figures for the respective periods the Group has:
"Other eliminations group":
• Added back eliminated internal profit or loss items and internal debt and assets.
"Elimination of equity accounted entities":
"Residual ownership":
• Excluded residual ownership share related to non-controlling interest in the respective accounting lines.
The tables below reconcile the consolidated Group figures with the proportionate financial for the periods Q3 2024, Q3 2023, YTD 2024, YTD 2023 and FY 2023:
