2024 Outlook

Scaling and harvesting

  • Splitting Legacy from Renewable: Large "dividend" to shareholders in Q2 '24 "Magnora 2.0" (utility index, shareholders, strong organic cashflow from both fossil and renewables, mutual funds, split of deferred assets, M&A and more)
  • Revenue recognition: More businesses shifting from origination to sales, or from sales to delivery. More than Evolar, Helios and South Africa.
  • Strong organic growth and cashflow across geographies and projects
  • Milestone payments: multiple milestone payments across projects and companies
  • Farm-downs and alliances remain a very real prospect short to mid term
  • Capital allocation dividend and buybacks as we receive more cash

The recent transformation of Magnora has been profound and combines growth and harvesting – status Q3 '23

The Journey in numbers

  • 420 MW Sales met to Magnora in 2023 (above our 200-325 MW guiding)
  • 367 mNOK Cash in Q3 versus 11 mNOK 15 months prior
  • 180 mNOK EBITDA as of Q3 vs 10 mNOK for 2022
  • 39 mNOK Capital returned since June 2023 including share buyback

Q4 '23 numbers will be out on 29th February with new and upward guiding!

Magnora South Africa, the next Helios?

  • A great team with a mature pipeline of projects
  • A rapidly increasing land bank and a huge de-regulation play
  • Three sales of 248 MW to satisfied customer in 2023
  • Close collaboration with Globeleq, owned by Norfund and the British International Investment
  • Well-established auctions where private companies bid to supply capacity. Private PPA market is emerging on back of deregulation – corporate and indusrial
  • Abundant land, best-in-class solar and stable wind resources

South Africa is set for huge growth because renewables can solve an urgent electricity crisis

Renewables are entering the scene… … while coal-power is collapsing

  • Electricity market significantly larger than Norway or Sweden, set to build 60 TWh of renewables
  • A run-down power system where coal contributes 80-85 % of the current electricity supply.
  • Rolling shut-downs create a great sense of urgency everywhere
  • Power-hungry export industry in search of secure, green energy
