Q2 2024 Presentation

CEO Erik Sneve, 15 July 2024

2

A pure play, "asset-light" renewables developer with greenfield origination

(1) GW x Magnora ownership = Net share. Note, the sale of Helios to Vinci, completed on 11 July, will have major impact on the portfolio in Q3; (2) As of 27 June 2024

Highlights in Q2: Large new transactions and payout from past deals

  • On 18 June, Magnora's legacy business started trading on the main list on Oslo Stock Exchange with 70 per cent of the shares assigned to Magnora shareholders- a dividend made possible by our increasingly profitable renewables business
  • On 29 May 2024, the owners of Helios agreed to sell all shares to the leading French infrastructure company Vinci in return for an upfront payment of EUR 73 million excluding a significant earnout – Magnora to receive approximately NOK 335 million upfront and return capital equal to NOK 4 per share upon closing1)
  • On 23 May, Magnora received NOK 60.9 million in milestone payment from the sale of Evolar AB in 2023 to market leader First Solar (US). The rapid progress of Evolar improves the odds of future payouts worth up to USD 18.7 million for Magnora.
  • Breakthrough in South Africa on 5 April when Globeleq became preferred supplier for the largest stand-alone BESS project in Africa. The 153 MW / 612 MWh Red Sands was acquired from Magnora and progress triggered a milestone payment with more due at financial close, 2H 2024.
  • Magnora's portfolio of renewable projects reached 9.4 GW in Q2 with emphasis on revisions to make sure assets have grid access
  • Accelerating growth in South Africa: four sales totalling more than 350 MW in 11 months including a deal in June with independent power producer Red Rocket. Magnora South Africa is also growing in terms of landbank and staff.
  • In April, Magnora cancelled 1,070,854 treasury shares, adding value to the 65,751,825 remaining shares held by our investors
  • Cash and cash equivalents of NOK 311 million and zero debt, not including proceeds from the sale of Helios.

The sale of Helios Nordic Energy to Vinci: Using Vinci's strengths to reimagine Solar PV in Sweden

  • Vinci Concessions has acquired all shares in Helios in return for EUR 73 million and a substantial earnout* (see press release from 29 May).
  • Vinci has become a world leader by building and operating complex infrastructures – renewable energy is their next target
  • Helios has by far the largest and most mature landbank of any Swedish developer – and a reputation for reliability
  • Each benefits:
    • Vinci gets a secure, long-term, supply of projects
    • Helios gets a secure offtake and freedom to apply industrial thinking to its development efforts
    • Magnora gets a reward for every new, successful delivery from the Vinci-Helios partnership

About Vinci (2023 figures)

  • EUR 69.6 billion revenues
  • EUR 8.07 billion EBIT
  • EUR 5.1 billion net income
  • EUR 118.5 billion total assets
  • Listed on the Paris Stock Exchange
  • On the EuroStoxx 50 index
  • Market capitalization at EUR ~ 65 billion (May 2024)

Q2 - 2024 in numbers and subsequent Solid origination and value creation

9.4 GW Portfolio size +87% in 12 months 311 MNOK 586 MNOK Cash and cash equivalents (end Q2) Capital returned from January 2018 through June 2024 including share buy-back, excluding Hermana Holding shares 275 MNOK 0 NOK Capital set to be returned in Q3 2024 4,187 NOK per share, payable upon completion of the Helios sale Bank debt 150 MNOK in credit facilities 400 MNOK Gross Cash in during May, June and July

Growing profitably: Earnouts feed Magnora's growth and capital distribution program

  • From 2018 through June 2024, Magnora returned NOK 586 million to shareholders including share buyback
  • The listing of Hermana Holding returned another NOK 398* million to shareholders
  • Upon receiving upfront pay from the Helios transaction, another NOK 275 million will be returned to shareholders (NOK 4,187 per share)
  • By late summer, Magnora will have returned more than NOK 1 billion to shareholders since 2018
  • Every quarter, the board will consider whether to increase the steady return of capital worth NOK 50 million per year paid in quarterly installments
  • Magnora frequently enters deals where we share the upside with our customers through milestone payments. Such revenue streams pave the road for capital distribution rather than using occasional revenue to fund operating expenses or planning investments

Magnora has multiple revenue streams beyond our operating companies

Business model

We are developing renewable projects to the Ready-to-Build phase

Criteria: Small initial investment (2-20 MNOK) and active target search in select markets

Criteria: Minimum 5x return potential

Developing projects to Ready-to-Build phase ("asset-light") with limited balance sheet risk

Feasibility and conceptual Design development/permitting Procurement and construction
Development phase Construction phase
Landowner agreement
Grid connection
Environmental assessment/concession
Technical management
Project management

Basic economics ensure that Ready-to-Build projects will remain in high demand with limited new supply

The global energy market is only starting to shift

Business update – South Africa

South Africa has huge potential and a growing urgency to sort out the electricity crisis

Renewables are entering the scene…

  • Coal fired power plant account for ca 50.000 MW installed effect. But…
  • Some 60 million customers in a potential midincome market – with rolling black-outs
  • A power-consuming and export-oriented industry that needs secure, green power supply
  • A well-established system of gov auctions (REIPPP)
  • Ambition is to secure another 20-30 GW in a decade from private suppliers
  • Abundant land, best-in-class sun resources and stable wind resources

…while coal power is collapsing

Figure: Avg. annual energy availability factor for Eskom fleet, 2013-2022

  • A run-down power system where coal contributes to 80-85% of the current electricity supply
  • Rolling shut-downs drives strong interest from corporate and industrial customers bypassing the government auction system

Sources: Eskom, Integrated Resource Plan, https://www.bloomberg.com/netzeropathfinders/best-practices/integrated-resource-plan-south-africa/, 2023 Large-Scale Renewable Energy: market intelligence report, GreenCape 2023

Magnora South Africa today resembles Sweden 18 months ago, with the perfect foundation for rapid growth

Right market

A huge electricity demand & excellent wind/sun resources

  • A huge shortfall in energy generation
  • Power intensive export industries
  • High electricity prices
  • Large tracts of available land with windy hills and 2,500 sun hours/year
M

Right team

A dozen incentivized, battlehardened people

  • Extensive industry experience
  • Mature 3.5 GW portfolio with wind, solar PV and BESS
  • Culture: No bragging, no nonsense, just getting projects to market!

Right business model

Emerging market for Ready-to-Build renewables projects

  • Various investors and IPPs are flocking to the South African energy market
  • Improving deal flow
  • Customers knows who brags and who delivers

Right timing

Not an easy market, but with an urgency to improve

  • No spot market, but aiming for deregulation
  • Grid being separated from production
  • The auction system works private funding required for renewables
  • 60 TWh of renewables replacing coal

Renewables by far the cheapest way to meet electricity demand

Growing portfolio with over 1GW ready to market in 2024

Three projects sold and one agreed – more than 350 MW to satisfied customers

Every year has been better than the previous

Organization

Hand-picked management supporting strong local teams with experience and entrepreneurial approach

    • The Development and M&A expense is slightly lower in Q2 2024 than in the previous quarter
    • Profit from associated companies mainly driven by annual gain recognised in Helios

Cash flow Q2 2024, NOK million

Cashflow from:

  • Operating activities: NOK -23.2
    • Mainly operating activities in Magnora ASA, Magnora Offshore Wind AS, Magnora Offshore Wind N3 & Magnora South Africa
  • Investment activities: NOK 27.6m
    • Investments in associated companies (GMDC & Hafslund Magnora Sol)
    • Cash provided to Hermana
    • Proceeds from disposals of Evolar and AGV Projects
  • Financing activities: NOK -1.1m
    • Repayment of overdraft facility
  • Ending cash balance: NOK 311.3m
    • The Group's cash and available credit facilities was NOK 461.3 million as of 30 June 2024

Outlook

Our guiding will be updated in Q3, to reflect the sale of Helios

  • Figures net to Magnora, that is ownership share x capacity of a given asset
  • We strive to be conservative in portfolio estimates, counting assets with signed land agreements and a reasonable prospect for grid connection
  • In 2024, deliveries and sales have even higher priority than origination in most markets
  • ~2 GW of portfolio is "marketable" a lot towards EOY a full 1.1 GW can be put to market in SA, but the timing is contingent on finding an available window of opportunity (typically announcement of a REIPPP auction or grid availability)
  • Sales are frequently closed early, combining up-front and milestone payments*
  • Prices differ between markets with e.g. high prices in the UK and lower prices in South Africa due to historical auctions. Deregulation drive prices.
  • In 2023, the mid price range provided an accurate picture of average asset value when Ready-to-Build*
  • As previously, outliers are excluded**

(*) Most sales occur pre "ready-to-build" with significant advance payments and subsequent payments subject to milestones. We recognize revenue when these milestones are met; (**) E.g. stand-alone solar PV in South Africa is unlikely to fetch premium prices. Prices for certain markets and projects may also be above this range; (***) A sustained fall in the prices of solar PV and batteries serve to improve or maintain the pricing power of developers with mature projects. 26
