17 Includes alternative performance measure (APM), see definition in quarterly report and annual report

• Power production increased to 145 GWh (155 GWh in Q3'23) • Wind power production totaled 85 GWh (100 GWh in Q3'23) • Hydro power production totaled 60 GWh (55 GWh in Q3'23) • Cloudberry realized an average net power price of NOK 0.47 per kWh (NOK 0.50 per kWh in Q3'23) 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 • The drop in revenue and EBITDA compared to the same quarter last year is primarily explained by lower production volume (primarily from Odal) and a lower realized average power price • On August 12, Odal Wind resumed production after a 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. Please see quarterly report for further Odal information • Both LTM figures are impacted by accretive hydro sales in Q2 2024 and Q2 2023. The sale in Q2 2023 was a larger transaction, and the difference in the gain on sale explains the majority of the difference in the drop from Q3 2023 LTM to Q3 2024 LTM. • The gain in Q2 2023 was NOK 258m (2.0x booked value) compared to a gain in Q2 2024 of NOK 109m (2.3x book value)
