First quarter report 2024

Cloudberry in brief

Cloudberry is a renewable energy company, born, bred, and operating in the Nordics. We own, develop, 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`s business model is reflected in our organization

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 have rebranded 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.

Our Nordic clean renewable platform

Projects is a green-field developer of hydro, wind and solar projects, including an experienced construction team in charge of building power plants. Projects has a solid track record of organic, in-house developments and construction of wind and hydropower assets in Norway, Sweden & Denmark, and has recently started developing solar projects in Denmark and Norway. Commercial is an active owner of renewable power assets in the Nordics, and in charge of M&A and partnerships in Cloudberry. Asset Management operates external customers' and Cloudberry's renewable assets, including a digital operating platform.

Our strong commitment to local communities and our integrated and responsible focus on the value chain ensures value creation and optimization of stakeholder interests.

Cloudberry`s growth strategy

Our current portfolio in production and under construction in Norway, Sweden and Denmark consists of 25 hydropower assets and 105 wind turbines (organized in six projects). 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 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.

Projects portfolio

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 strengthened significantly and put into a greater industrial framework. As of today, Cloudberry has an onshore pipeline of 7 TWh (> 2,000 MW) across the Nordics and an exclusive backlog of 711 MW.

Focus has been on projects where we can see favorable economic returns and relatively low environmental impact. We believe these projects will add significant value to Cloudberry over time as available renewable projects in the southern parts of the Nordics are getting more and more limited on the back of more regulations, strong focus on nature impact and local stakeholder interests. At the same time the need for green power is increasing.

Cloudberry is also working with several large and undisclosed forest owners to get access to favorable land for development as well as established industrial companies as off-taker of green power. This to create favorable projects for both Cloudberry and the industry.

Cloudberry has organized its development
activities through the Projects segments with
a focus on three regions:
Norway Primarily hydro development, including
industrial wind & solar projects
Sweden Primarily wind development, including
evaluation of storage/battery
Denmark Wind and solar development
The backlog consists of 21 exclusive projects

Operational review

After purchasing 100% of Captiva in December 2023, Cloudberry has started to streamline operations, reduce costs and rebranded its business areas into Projects (previously Development), Commercial (previously Production), Asset Management (previously Operations) and Corporate. The full cost synergies will be evident during H2 2024.

  • · Projects (Development) will focus on greenfield development, permitting, procurement and construction
  • · Commercial (Production) will focus on increasing and optimizing current production, increase EBITDA, reduce risk, grow the net asset values per share by efficient capital recycling and inclusion of new hybrid solutions in Cloudberry's projects
  • · Asset Management (Operations) will focus on efficient day-to-day operation of both internal and external hydro, wind and solar projects in the Nordics

Projects

Projects under construction

The construction of the Sundby Vindpark (SE-3) is on time and expected to be below budget once complete. Per reporting date, all turbines are undergoing test production. Final construction activities relating to cleaning of the site will commence during spring. Until 23 January 2024, the production took place under a 50/50 revenue split with Vestas and Sundby has produced a total of 15 GWh over the first quarter. The production figure is included in the overall production metric, while the test production financials are included in the Projects (Development) segment. The internal handover to the Commercial (Production) segment is expected to take place following final municipal approvals, expected over the coming months. Sundby is to provide a maximum effect of 23.5 MW to the grid, with an increase to 32 MW from the grid owner expected within H1 2025. However, Cloudberry still expects to have 90% of the expected annualized production with the 23.5 MW grid capacity.

The wind farm consists of nine 3.6 MW Vestas turbines with an expected annual production of 89 GWh and a long-term ~97% availability guarantee from Vestas. Cloudberry is reusing a significant amount of existing infrastructure, resulting in a low impact on nature and the environment. The total investment is estimated at EUR 50m and per the end of Q1 2024 there was approximately EUR 1.5m in remaining capex (including contingency).

The final investment decision for Munkhyttan I (SE-3) was taken in June 2023. Cloudberry will install 18.6 MW based on three Vestas V162 turbines of 6.2 MW each with a long-term service contract with ~97% uptime guarantee from Vestas. The expected annual production is 60 GWh. The project is on budget, with all foundations casted and all roads constructed. The transformer and substation have been delivered on site with installations ongoing. Vestas has mobilized on site since beginning of April with pre-installation of the turbines completed and main installation ongoing. Munkhyttan is expected to achieve first power in Q3 2024, ahead of the initially expected timeline. The total investment is estimated at slightly above EUR 30m and per the end of Q1 2024 there was approximately EUR 10m in remaining capex (including contingency).

Construction of Øvre Kvemma (NO-5) hydro powerplant continued according to plan and the power plant has been completed over the quarter. The powerplant has been connected to the grid with first power achieved. The commissioning period has commenced and financial close is expected in June 2024. The enterprise value of the transaction is NOK 124m, of which NOK 13m has been paid to an escrow account currently included in other current assets in Cloudberry's financials.

Projects with construction permit

Nees Hede (Solar, DK-1): Cloudberry has through Odin Energy Holding P/S acquired the Nees Hede project comprising of 175 MW permitted solar (140 MW proportionate). Nees Hede is a climate park with a favorable ESG footprint and local acceptance, situated on the western part of Jutland in the attractive DK 1 price area. Through the acquisition of the Odin portfolio in 2023, Cloudberry is well positioned to take part in further development opportunities in Denmark as shown by this project. The Nees Hede project represents an important milestone as the first project from the development agreement with Skovgaard. Cloudberry will together with Skovgaard continue to push the project forward towards an FID which can be taken as early as during 2024.

The purchase price of the project was EUR 8m, where EUR 1.6m was paid at closing of the transaction in February 2024, while EUR 4.8 million and EUR 1.6 million is payable at FID and COD respectively - all numbers proportionate to Cloudberry. Due to the falling capex on solar, Cloudberry will prioritize the Nees Hede project and is fully financed to execute on an FID.

Duvhällen (SE-3): As the grid process was prolonged Cloudberry applied for a permit extension in 2023. Cloudberry has received a prolongation of the permit giving the project an additional four years to complete the construction and erection of the turbines. Early procurement preparations have been initiated over the quarter and an agreement with Vattenfall has been signed to plan a detailed grid connection.

Stenkalles (SE-3). Cloudberry together with Hafslund (50/50 owners), is working on converting the nearshore project into an attractive storage/battery project. The existing grid connection (100 MW) and transformation station in Karlstad, Sweden is already in place and well positioned to balance the grid. The project is currently under development with minimal cost burn. The prices of large-scale batteries have fallen significantly over the last 12 months while the value of storage remains highly attractive due to the necessity to balance out short-term volatility in the Swedish power market.

Backlog & pipeline

Per the reporting date the backlog has been increased to 711 MW and 21 exclusive projects, up from 486 MW as per the same quarter last year. Over the quarter Captiva representatives have signed a lease agreement for a new 19 GWh hydro project in the favorable NO2 region. This further showcase the increased network that the Asset

Power production

Cloudberry's proportionate power production in the first quarter totaled 173 GWh (90 GWh), a ~92% increase from the same quarter last year. The significant growth is primarily explained by the inclusion of the Odin portfolio and production from Sundby, offset by the three sold hydropower plants in Q2 2023. The table below shows the proportionate production over the quarter, split between the different price areas.

Management segment represents and how this can further improve Cloudberry's access to new projects. Further an 80 MW (~260 GWh) wind project in SE3 has been added over the quarter.

During the first quarter a permit application for an additional three turbines at Munkhyttan has been filed (Munkhyttan II). Going forward we also expect to file applications for Ulricehamn and Söderköping over the coming months. Cloudberry is also fully focused on continuing to work in close dialogue with local communities, public and private landowners to ensure efficient permitting processes, limit nature impact and gain access to additional sites.

Cloudberry is working on a large non-exclusive pipeline of promising projects across Norway, Sweden and Denmark totaling 7 TWh 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.

Proportionate wind power production totaled 156 GWh in the first quarter (59 GWh same quarter last year). The large increase stems mainly from the inclusion, and strong performance, of the Odin portfolio offset by production stops in Odal.

Proportionate hydro power production totaled 17 GWh in the first quarter (31 GWh same quarter last year). The majority of the difference stems from the sale of the three hydro power plants in Q2 2023, as well as colder weather causing production below normal.

At the end of the first quarter, Cloudberry had a proportionate balance of Guarantees of Origin certificates ("GOs") of approximately 135 000 certificates relating to past production in the portfolio not already sold or included on the balance sheet. The GOs balance will be sold over the coming quarters.

Odal wind status update

The turbines in the Odal wind farms are from the Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy 4.X series. Siemens Gamesa announced in 2023 that there are severe blade and main bearing issues related to the 4.X and 5.X platforms. During the first quarter of 2024, the problems with the turbine blades in

the Odal wind farm have continued. This caused production stops and 50%-60% of the turbines were operational over the quarter. Based on the information available regarding the platform, the main bearings are monitored closely by SGRE, and at present, no turbines in Odal are stopped due to main bearing issues.

Subsequent to the quarter, Odal Vind experienced a serious incident when one blade from turbine 9 broke off. Fortunately there were no personnel injuries. So far, no other material damages to the turbine have been discovered. All necessary clean-up and restoration will be conducted. A crisis team was established immediately after the incident, in line with procedures, to handle the situation. This work built on the task force that was established in 2023 right after the blade issues started at Odal wind farm. Siemens Gamesa decided right after the blade incident to shut down the entire wind farm until the incident has been thoroughly reviewed. Based on Siemens Gamesa's plans at present it is expected that the turbines that were spinning prior to the incident will sequentially be restarted within the coming weeks and 16 turbines are estimated in production within end July 2024. The incident, as well as lost production, is covered under Odal Vind's contracts with Siemens Gamesa.

Siemens Gamesa has presented a plan to thoroughly inspect all blades, and repair or exchange the inflicted blades as needed. This work has begun, and it is expected that the turbines gradually will start producing. Siemens Gamesa plans to finish the work in Q4, and hence it is expected that production will reach normalized levels towards the end of 2024. All repairs made by Siemens Gamesa are directly covered under the turbines supply agreement warranty and/or service contract.

The lost production is covered under the Siemens Gamesa warranties. The availability warranty under the service contract has a total cap of EUR 20.8 million (100% basis) for the first two years of operation with decreasing caps the following years. Following the incident, it is expected that availability claim towards Siemens Gamesa will breach the cap later this year. The first availability period ends ultimo May 2024, and it is expected that it will be settled in 2H 2024. Per Q1 2024 the estimated claim from Odal Vind under the availability guarantee is around EUR 14-17 million (100% basis). At present, no part of the

expected income from the availability warranty has been recognized in the accounts.

Due to delayed liquidity from Siemens Gamesa under the availability warranty, Odal Vind is currently in breach with a debt service covenant on its project financing. The debt is ring-fenced and does not have any implication on the remaining debt in the Cloudberry structure. Dialogue with the lenders has been initiated. If no waiver is given by the lenders, the breach can if required be mended with an equity cure (below EUR 3 million for Cloudberry). All financial obligations (interest payments and amortization) have and are currently being paid in full in due course. Odal Vind has a strong liquidity position of ~EUR 30 million when taking into account the restricted cash.

Necessary and strong actions have been and will be continuously taken to safeguard Odal wind farm's contractual position towards Siemens Gamesa.

Power prices

Cloudberry realized an average net power price of NOK 0.73 per kWh (NOK 1.18 per kWh same quarter last year) during the first quarter of 2024.

~14% of Cloudberry's production in first quarter was at fixed prices (hedged). At reporting date Cloudberry had hedges in place in accordance with the table below for its power sales. Further, a pay as produced GO hedge has been done in the Odin portfolio corresponding to ~160 GWh proportionate to Cloudberry for three years with a price of ~EUR 5 per GO. The overall ambition for Cloudberry is to achieve a hedge amount covering all interest expenses and overhead costs (approx. 30% hedging). This will be phased in over time.

Asset Management (Operations)

The Asset Management segment represents the activities organized in the fully owned Captiva Group under the business areas: management services and digital solutions. Cloudberry initially acquired 60% of Captiva in January 2022. In December 2023 Cloudberry acquired the remaining 40%, making Captiva a fully integrated part of the Cloudberry group. The organizational integration and realization of synergies have started in the first quarter and will proceed over next quarters. Clear steps have been taken that will reduce the cost going forward which will materialize in H2 2024.

Management Services

Asset Management continued its integration with other segments of Cloudberry with the following main activities over the quarter:

  • · Completion of project and construction management on the Sundby project with all turbines initiated test production
  • · Engaged in development and construction work on the Munkhyttan project. The "prepare for operations" projects have started in the first quarter of 2024 with a target of ensuring efficient handover to asset management following the construction phase
  • · Supporting the Commercial segment on Odal wind farm with a task force related to the Siemens Gamesa turbines and blades. Cloudberry leverages on the Captiva team's experience from other

wind projects with similar issues, in addition to project management, and subject matter expertise from the majority owned subsidiary Enestor

· Performed a study on five potential solar alpine sites for a Swiss utility

Following the signing in October 2023 of a full scope Technical and Commercial Management Agreement ("TCMA") for wind farm Ränsliden in Sweden, owned by funds managed by Aquila Capital, the commercial relationship with Aquila was further expanded by the signing of a similar TCMA for the 75 MW wind farm Akmene One in Lithuania.

Digital Solutions

The Asset Management segment continued its development and commercialization of the Captiva Portal including operative and commercial insight and KPIs on wind, hydro and solar power. New clients and up sale on existing clients are signed during the quarter, both in the Norwegian hydro and wind market, in addition to the Swiss solar market.

A strategic process regarding the Digital Solutions sub-segment has been initiated. The aim is to pursue and capitalize on the attractive business potential that has been developed in Kraftanmelding (annual power sales > 3 TWh) in combination with the Captiva Portal.

Corporate

General

Cloudberry has continuous focus on optimizing liquidity in order to enhance profitability. The ongoing construction projects Sundby and Munkhyttan have both been equity financed to date in order to maximize returns to shareholders. Debt under the existing credit facility agreement will be drawn when necessary on both projects (~50% of capex). Further, Cloudberry has the flexibility to utilize the available facility to draw additional debt on existing projects. The credit facility is NOK 2.2bn of which ~NOK 1.3bn is currently drawn. At present all debt drawn, except the debt in relation to the Odin transaction, is fixed at long term contracts at attractive levels over the last years (10 – 20y fixed

rates). The total Odin debt exposure is ~60% secured with 5–10-year interest rate swap agreements.

In April, subsequent to the quarter, Cloudberry held its Annual General Meeting (AGM). Amongst other items the AGM elected Mads Andersen as a new board member, replacing Stefanie Witte. We thank Stefanie for her valuable service to Cloudberry. Mads Andersen has three decades of technical and managerial experience from the international energy services industry and has been in executive positions since 2002. He currently serves as the CEO of Aibel, a role which he has held for 8 years.

Outlook

As the first quarter of 2024 comes to a close, we continue to see how important it is to have a flexible platform and diversified portfolio of renewable technologies and development projects throughout the Nordics. We continue to see falling prices for solar panels and industrial batteries and as such it is important to have near-term projects to take advantage of this opportunity. Taking advantage of the attractive grid connection in Stenkalles and pivoting the project towards an attractive storage opportunity represents a clear indication of how Cloudberry can utilize its knowledge and competence to create value. Going forward we will continue with our disciplined approach to value creation, focusing on the most prominent proven technologies at any given time.

On the other hand, the problems with the 4.X series from Siemens Gamesa in Odal has unfortunately been further evident over the period. The financial downside is however limited due to the warranties from Siemens Gamesa and at present, no financial income has been recognized in the accounts. Cloudberry is continuously working hard to safeguard all stakeholder interests in Odal Vind.

Project execution has high priority, and we are pleased to see that Munkhyttan is expected to be completed ahead of time with Vestas being mobilized on site and turbine installation initiated. Sundby is nearing its completion below budgeted capex costs with final construction activities relating to cleaning of the site commencing during the spring. All turbines are currently undergoing test production. All in all, our projects under construction are progressing according to plan with no safety issues.

Our backlog remains a strong focus area and we are happy to see both a new hydro and wind project increasing the backlog to 711 MW. Equally important as signing new projects is moving the existing projects forward. We will continue to devote time and resources in order to continue to progress our backlog towards permitted projects. An example is our largest hydro project Re Energi which is now being pushed towards the next development phase with environmental impact assessments and concession application.

Going forward profitable growth and capital discipline remain key priorities when evaluating new projects. Cloudberry will continue with its uncompromised focus on value creation and local stakeholder management in the Nordics.

Environmental, social, and governance review

Cloudberry`s overarching purpose is to provide renewable energy today and for future generations. We want to power the transition to a sustainable future and do it The Cloudberry Way. This purpose shapes everything we do, and our long-term success is linked to operating our business sustainably and profitably. We believe these two conditions to be mutually dependent on each other. To fulfill our purpose, Cloudberry identifies, understands, and systematically manages material sustainability topics internally and in our value chain. This is of utmost importance for future long-term value creation.

Cloudberry reports the performance and targets across our material sustainability topics quarterly:

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.

The results from the Employee engagement index and the Equal opportunities index originate from the latest survey in Dec 2023. The score is 1 to 6, with 6 as the highest score.

Environmental

GHG emissions avoided

Cloudberry's proportionate power production in the first quarter 2024 totaled 173 GWh (90 GWh in Q1 2023). The avoided emissions relative to baseline emissions from the European electricity mix (EU-27 electricity mix, IEA 2023), are equivalent to 40,534 tCO2 e (19,980 tCO2 e in Q1 2023).

Transitioning to a low-carbon society

As of 2023, Cloudberry reports direct and indirect greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions quarterly. The GHG emissions from Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 in the first quarter 2024 amounted to 3,304 tCO2 e (13 tCO2 e in Q1 2022). The majority of the emissions reported in the first quarter are from the construction of Munkhyttan wind farm. The construction activities at Munkhyttan will continue in the second quarter, however the majority of GHG emissions have been accounted for and is according to plan.

In the first quarter of 2024, Cloudberry engaged an auditor to conduct a limited assurance of the 2023 GHG emission reporting. The reporting is based on the GHG Protocol's Corporate Standard and included a description of the organizational boundaries, Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions and methodology. In the preparation of the limited

assurance, considerable work was done to ensure comprehensive in-house policies and guidelines for GHG reporting which was implemented throughout the organization. The independent accountant's assurance report concluded without any modifications and was presented in the Sustainability Report 2023. The work is part of Cloudberry's preparation for the upcoming regulatory requirements defined in the ESRS framework.

Cloudberry received approval from the Science Based Target Initiative (SBTi) in the first quarter of 2024 for the net zero targets we have set for the company. The approved target paves the way for Cloudberry to establish a roadmap for reducing Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions, aligned with both short-term and long-term objectives and actions.

Taxonomy report

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. The report is available on the company's website.

Social

Health and safety

During the first quarter of 2024, no incidents causing harm to people`s health or serious material damage were recorded in Cloudberry.

Subsequent to end of first quarter, there was a serious incident with a blade that broke off at Odal Vind (see more details under Operational Review, Commercial (Production)). Fortunately, it did not cause any personnel injuries. No material damage to nature or the surroundings has been discovered. All necessary clean-up and restoration will be conducted. A crisis team was established immediately, in line with procedures, and investigation is ongoing to learn from the incident.

At the construction site of the Munkhyttan wind farm, safety walks are regularly conducted by the contractor and the project manager at the site. These walks aim to identify and mitigate health and safety risks, as well as address unsafe or unwanted environmental and nature-related situations. A review of the protocol from the safety walk takes place during the regular construction meetings, and any identified deviations are discussed and addressed. Immediate action is taken to resolve issues arising from these deviations.

Health and safety measures are of the highest importance to Cloudberry, and we constantly work to reduce risks involved during the construction of the company`s projects.

Engagement, diversity, and equal opportunities

Cloudberry acts responsibly towards its employees and works actively and systematically to foster diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in the organization. During the first quarter of 2024, the organization has worked with the results from the annual engagement survey conducted in December 2023. The survey covers topics such as engagement, leadership, HSE, collaboration, work-life balance, and DEI in the workplace. The result from the survey gave a DEI index of 5,3 and an engagement index of 5,3 (6 is the maximum score), which was an improvement from the previous survey. The focus in the workshops in the specific teams have been on how to uphold

the strong results, continuously improve workplace engagement and nourish the Cloudberry culture.

Local community impact

In the first quarter of 2024, the company engaged with many local stakeholders including politicians, landowners, neighbors, students and media to listen to and learn more about local concerns, inform about our projects and how Cloudberry creates local value.

In the local area of the Munkhyttan wind farm, Cloudberry has actively engaged with the neighbors living close to the public road leading to the site informing them about the project.

Governance

Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive

Cloudberry prepares to comply with the requirements of the EU`s Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). In the first quarter of 2024, the company prepared and published the Sustainability report 2023 where significant steps were taken to improve the reporting according to the criteria in the directive. Cloudberry has updated the double materiality assessment, which implied introducing a new entity-specific material topic "Favorable framework for renewables". Stable, predictable and favorable framework for renewables is key to enable the energy transition and decarbonize society. Cloudberry will therefore continue to pay close attention to local, regional and national politics in the Nordics, and to engage with relevant stakeholders to monitor and influence the frameworks for renewables.

Responsible business conduct

There were no whistleblowing reports and no reported nor detected incidents of corruption or fraud during the first quarter of 2024.

Cloudberry has in the first quarter reviewed and updated several of the procedures and instructions related to the company's governance. This includes the IT policy, the Code of Conduct, the procurement policy, the employment contracts and the investor relations (IR) policy. In the second quarter, focus will be on implementing and training the organization in the changes in the procedures to ensure a strong compliance culture in Cloudberry.

Responsible value chain

Cloudberry continuously advances our efforts to identify and minimize risks within the value chain. In the first quarter, Cloudberry conducted several internal workshops discussing material risks and mitigating actions in the value chain. As part of the work with materiality, the annual due diligence assessment was conducted. The assessment follows the OECD and UNGP Guidelines which specifically focus on human rights and decent working conditions in the supply chain. The objective is to mitigate adverse impacts on the environment and communities, with a specific focus on addressing issues like human rights violations, decent working conditions, and environmental degradation. The assessed risks and measures related to the value chain will be disclosed in the second quarter in the 2023 annual Transparency Act report.

Profit or Loss (same quarter last year) Revenue

Total consolidated revenue in the first quarter was NOK 129m (NOK 68m). The increase of NOK 61m is mainly related to increase of sales revenue from power production of NOK 59m and increased other income of NOK 2m which primarily stems from government grants.

Net income from associated companies and joint ventures (JV's)

Net income from associated companies and JV's represents Cloudberry's investment in Odal Vind, Forte, Stenkalles and parts of the Odin portfolio utilizing the equity method to account for Cloudberry's proportion of the companies' net income for the consolidated accounts. Odin, Odal Vind and Forte's net income primarily represents profit from power sales and is included in the Commercial segment for the proportionate figures, while Stenkalles is now a battery development project, and its net income is included in the Projects segment.

Net income from associated companies and JVs was NOK 2m (NOK 7m) in the first quarter, a decrease of NOK 5m from the same quarter last year. The main reason for the decrease in lower production volumes in Odal and lower average power prices. For Forte net income is also affected by change in fair value on a power offtake agreement.

Net income from Odal wind was NOK 1m (11m), the Forte portfolio NOK -1m (-6m) and the Odin portfolio of associates and JV's represent NOK 2m (0). Stenkalles represented 2m in first quarter 2023.

EBITDA

EBITDA in the first quarter was NOK 58m (NOK 20m). The increase of NOK 38m comprises of increased total revenue of NOK 61m, mainly from increased production volumes, while operating expenses have increased with NOK 18m and net income from associated companies and JVs have decreased with of NOK 5m.

The increase in operating expenses of NOK 18m relates to increased cost of goods sold of NOK 6m (mainly grid cost for increased power production), increased salary and personnel expenses of NOK 8m, and increased other operating expenses of NOK 4m.

The increase in salary and personnel expenses of NOK 8m consists of reduction of capitalized salaries of NOK 6m compared to same quarter previous year. The reduction of capitalized salaries compromise of NOK 4m related to salaries in the Asset Management segment which was capitalized on software development in same quarter last year, while this quarter expensed, and NOK 2m relates to reduced capitalization in the Projects segment. The remaining increase in salary and personnel expenses of NOK 2m relates

to increased warrants costs of NOK 1m (total warrant cost in the first quarter this year was NOK 5m and is non-cash) and other changes of NOK 1m.

Increased other operating expenses of NOK 4m consists mainly of increased operating costs related to power plants of NOK 9m which is mainly related to the Odin portfolio. This is offset by accrual for fall lease which is reduced with NOK 5m, and cost related to high price contribution tax which is reduced with NOK 2m. The high price contribution tax was terminated in fourth quarter 2023. Fee to auditors have increased with NOK 2m mainly related to the Odin portfolio audit and transaction.

Operating profit (EBIT)

EBIT in the first quarter was NOK 16m (NOK 7m). The increase of NOK 9m is due to increased EBITDA of NOK 38m, while increased depreciations of NOK 33m is mainly due to increased depreciations following a larger asset base after the acquisition of the Odin portfolio. Amortizations is reduced with NOK 4m. NOK 1m is due to write downs of intangible assets in fourth quarter 2023 reducing the intangible assets for amortization. Further, Odin recognized a contract liability relating to a power purchase agreement which will be accrued over the remaining lifetime of the contract. As such Odin will have a NOK 3m in positive amortization per quarter.

Net financial items

Net finance cost in first quarter was a gain of NOK 4m (NOK 104m). This is mainly related to a net gain on FX of NOK 14m, consisting of a NOK 55m gain from internal group related balances, offset by a NOK 41m loss from external debt and cash. Net

interest expense relating to interest bearing debt was NOK -21m (NOK -3m) in the quarter.

Statement of financial position Equity

Equity has increased from NOK 4 617m to NOK 4 756m from year end 2023 to end of first quarter. Profit from total operations is NOK 19m and net other comprehensive income is NOK 119m.

Cloudberry's equity ratio as of 31 March 2024 was 71% (69% as of 31 December 2023).

Cash position

Profit or Loss

Proportionate revenue and other income

In the first quarter proportionate revenue and other income was NOK 139m compared with NOK 115m in the same quarter last year. The increase of NOK 24m is primarily due to:

  • · Increased revenues in the Projects (Development) segment of NOK 6m. The increase relates to power revenue of NOK 7m which has been recorded from the test production at Sundby.
  • · Increase of power related revenues of NOK 13m in the Commercial (Production) segment. Power production in the quarter increased significantly from 90 GWh to 173 GWh, largely due to the inclusion of the Odin portfolio, while achieved average price was NOK 0.73 per kWh compared to NOK 1.18 per kWh in the same quarter last year. Included in total power revenues is ~NOK 7m which is attributed to the sale of GOs.
  • · Increased revenue of NOK 5m from Asset Management (Operations) segment in the first quarter compared to last year.

Proportionate EBITDA

In the first quarter proportionate EBITDA was NOK 56m compared to NOK 48m in the same quarter last year. The following changes were related to the segments:

  • · The Projects (Development) segment EBITDA increased from NOK -6m to NOK -1m. The increase of NOK 5m relates to increased revenues of NOK 6m and increased operation expenses of NOK 1m, this is mainly related to the test operations at Sundby generating power related revenues and expenses.
  • · The Commercial (Production) segment EBITDA was increased by NOK 8m from NOK 69m to NOK 77m. This relates to increased revenues of NOK 12m and an increase of operating expenses of NOK 4m. The increase in operating expenses is mainly explained by the inclusion of the Odin portfolio.
  • · The Asset Management (Operations) segment EBITDA decreased from NOK -1m to NOK -6m. The decrease of NOK 4m comprises of increased revenues of NOK 5m, and increased costs of NOK 9m. Increase in cost is related to less capitalization of salaries on software development compared with the same quarter last year. Following the integration of Asset Management in Cloudberry clear steps have been taken that will reduce cost going forward which is expected to materialize in H2 2024
  • · The Corporate segment EBITDA was NOK -14m, which is at the same level as the same quarter previous year. This includes non-cash warrant cost of NOK 5m.

Note 2 Operating segments

In 2024 Cloudberry has as part of 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.

  • · Projects (previously Development) is a green-field developer for hydro, wind and solar projects. Projects has a solid track record of organic, in-house developments, including construction management, of wind and hydropower assets in Norway, Sweden & Denmark
  • · Commercial (previously Production) is an active owner of renewable power assets in the Nordics, and in charge of M&A and partnerships in Cloudberry.
  • · Asset Management (previously Operations) operates external customers' and Cloudberry's renewable assets including a digital operating platform.
  • · Corporate is a cost-efficient segment that ensures management tasks for the Group like financing, marketing, reporting and other corporate activities.

The Group reports on 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.

The Odin portfolio which was acquired in the second quarter of 2023 is included in the Commercial segment from the time of acquisition.

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 first quarter segment reporting 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 Q1 2024, Q1 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.

So far, no other material damages to the turbine have been discovered. All necessary clean-up and restoration will be conducted. A crisis team was established immediately after the incident, in line with procedures, to handle the situation. This work built on the task force that was established in 2023 right after the blade issues started at Odal wind farm. Siemens Gamesa decided right after the blade incident to shut down the entire wind farm until the incident has been thoroughly reviewed. The incident, as well as lost production, is covered under Odal Vind's contracts with Siemens Gamesa.

Alternative Performance Measures

The alternative performance measures (APMs) provided by the Group are a supplement to the financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS. The APMs are frequently used by analysts, investors, and other parties as supplementary information.

The purpose of the APMs and non-financial measure is to provide an enhanced insight to the operations, financing, and future prospects for the Group. Management also uses these measures internally for key performance measures (KPIs). They represent the most important measures to support the strategy goals. Financial APMs should not be considered

as a substitute for measures of performance in accordance with IFRS. APMs are calculated consistently over time and are based on financial data presented in accordance with IFRS and other operational data as described below. The Group uses the following financial APMs:

Financial APMs

bearing debt, less cash, and cash
equivalents. IFRS 16 leasing liabilities are
not included in the net interest-bearing
debt.

Reconciliation of LTM (proportionate figures)

Proportionate Financials

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:

  • · Associated companies (ownership between 20%- 49%) or joint ventures (ownership 50%) are included in the financial accounting lines, the profit or loss statement and share of assets and net debt, with the respective proportionate ownership share. In the consolidated financials associated companies and joint ventures are consolidated with the equity method.
  • · Subsidiaries that have non-controlling interests (ownership between 50%-99%) are presented with only the Group controlled ownership share, while in the consolidated financials they are included with 100%.
  • · Group internal revenues, expenses and profits are eliminated in the consolidated financial statements, while in the proportionate financials, internal revenue and expenses, are retained.
  • · Proportionate interest-bearing debt and NIBD does not include shareholder loans

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":
