1) The illustration shows compounding return on the Q2 2023 book equity (excluding minority interest), compounded with 5%, 10% and 15% respectively to illustrate 2030 book equity with different annual returns. This is highly illustrative as the return on equity over the years will wary 23

In-house development

  • Capital light business model with high return expectations (ROE > 15%)
  • Experienced local organization with strong relations and alignment with local stakeholders and industry
  • Clear nature and environmental focus increasing the hit-rate, the attractiveness and return expectations of the projects

Optimizing cashflow from production

  • Exposure to merchant power price while continuously managing risk
  • Active cost focus to increase free cash flow
  • Close monitoring and optimizing of existing production
  • Improving operational performance by digitalization

M&A. Buying into under-valued assets with development potential

  • Take advantage of local, Nordic opportunities arising due to special situations
  • Utilize Cloudberry's flexible business model to evaluate and invest in accretive assets across the value chain
  • Acquire attractive projects with growth opportunities or low-cost entries with value potential

Efficient capital allocation and risk reduction

  • A flexible and robust business model gives Cloudberry the opportunity to continuously evaluate the best risk vs return for its capital through the full value chain
  • Re-cycle capital to optimize return on capital employed (ROCE)
  • Continuous de-risking of projects throughout the full value chain

Return expectations as shown in the 2020 annual presentation

Latest realizations

2023: Divested Selselva, Åmotsfoss and Nessakraft

  • Divested Selselva, Nessakraft and Åmotsfoss, representing an estimated annual production of 77 GWh
  • Total transaction value of NOK 703 million
  • Significant value creation resulting in a price above two times the booked equity
  • Internal rate of return of above 55% p.a.

  • Hån vas sold internally in August 2022 from the Development Segment to the Production segment

  • Enterprise value of EUR 58 million based on a valuation by Newsec Infra. Valuation was done based on a discounted cash flows and comparable transactions
  • Value creation of NOK 9 million per MW
  • Internal rate of return of above 50% p.a.

Profitability and balance sheet

Continue to build fundamental values and profitability by focusing on cash-flow (EBITDA) and booked equity Robust balance sheet and continued de-risking of financial parameters remain important in a volatile market

Deployment of capital

Cloudberry will use our flexible business model to deploy capital towards the most accretive projects. Capital to be allocated towards Nordic renewable projects with low cost per kWh and strong ESG profiles within our return requirements

We observe accretive opportunities within on-shore wind (Sweden & Denmark), hydro (Norway) and solar (Denmark, Norway). Onshore wind in Norway is pending on the outcome of the resource rent tax proposal expected resolved in Q4 2023

M&A

M&A will continue to play a vital role for Cloudberry given a significant increase in deal flow from our Nordic hubs. Continue to expand the portfolio by buying into low-cost opportunities where our in-house development and operational team can add significant value through the value chain

  • Cloudberry trades below the reported book equity per share at publishing date. On the other hand, we observe significant interests for our assets at book value or higher. This is evident by the recent sale of hydro assets at 2.0x the booked equity
  • Cloudberry observes that the most discounted kWh's in the Nordic market is the current market value on our own portfolio implicitly from the share price
  • Based on Cloudberry's flexible business model for value creation, Cloudberry seeks a Power of Attorney to have the option to buyback own shares at accretive prices
  • With a cash balance of above NOK 1 bn (Q2 2023) the option to buy back own share will require less than 10% of the existing cash and is not expected to influence targeted growth opportunities

"The math isn't complicated: When the share count goes down, your interest in our business goes up. Every small bit helps if repurchases are made at value-accretive prices" (Warren Buffett in Berkshire Hathaway's 2023 annual letter)

    1. Option to buy back up to 7 million shares (up to 2.4% of the share capital)
    1. Maximum price of NOK 14.6 per share, equaling booked equity per share per Q2 2023

Cloudberry, including Captiva, hold a combined pool of resources in personnel and skillsets that is highly complementary

  • A fully developed Cloudberry project from early greenfield to operation
  • Low risk project with ideal size, location and good wind conditions
  • Support and involvement from local stakeholders
  • Adjacent to Marker windfarm, successfully developed and divested in 2019 to BKW Energie
  • Successfully established a unique cross-border grid connection to sell electricity to the Norwegian grid
  • Constructed on time and budget from FID in Q2 2021
  • Enterprise value at completion of EUR 58 million1) NOK 9 million per MW in value creation

FID COD estimate
December 2022 Q4 2023/Q1 2024
  • Sundby was acquired from a third party an entry into an ongoing development project where Cloudberry identified significant potential for value creation
  • Entry point at a discount to the capital invested
  • FID was taken in December 2022 and Cloudberry will install 9 Vestas turbines of 3.6MW each. Instalment of the turbines to be initiated in September 2023
  • The first 24 MW is expected to generate revenue in Q1 2024, while the remaining 8 MW is expected to be connected later in 2024
  • Cloudberry is able to utilize a significant amount of existing infrastructure, resulting in a low impact on nature and the environment.

Acquired Financial close
February 2022 H1 2024
  • Øvre Kvemma is a development project that was acquired by Cloudberry in February 2022. Financial close is expected after the plant is successfully tested and approved expected in H1 2024
  • A sizeable run of river hydro project in a favorable price region
  • Limited impact on biodiversity and nature due to drilled waterways (2 km out of 2.5 km)
  • Construction is complete and we expect to start testing during Q4 2023

Project example from Hån Wind farm

  • The wind farm will produce 2 220 GWh in its 30 years lifetime, leading to ~ 500 000 tons CO2e of avoided emissions 2
  • This is equivalent of annual emissions of ~ 70 000 inhabitants3 in Norway
  • Avoid and minimize the impact on nature
  • Just-in-time principle for turbine components = reduced impact on nature by 7,500 m2
  • Reused the existing roads, made roads and verges as narrow as possible
  • 70% less concrete by using rock-anchored foundations
  • Participated in development of a bike trail Unionsleden, built during the construction of Hån

45 1) Calculations based on Vestas' Life Cycle Analysis of V150 4.2 MW, with site specific amendments for the Hån wind farm (lower tower and longer lifetime)

  • 2) Assumption being offset of electricity production from EU-27 electricity mix index (IEA 2022)
  • 3) Annual average emission per Norwegian is 7.1 tons CO2e. Source: Menon Economics, MENON-PUBLIKASJON NR. 122/2022

The Cloudberry way

  • Careful selection of sites with a structured screening process including social, environmental and technical aspects
  • Long term perspective – contributing to local communities and partnerships with local industry
  • We support and understand our local impact and take responsibility where we set our physical mark

Interacting with landowners, locals and suppliers is key in Cloudberry's stakeholder management

Example: Cloudberry met >500 people representing local interest groups and industry during the Simpevarp local hearings

Building local knowledge and trust by being transparent is an important goal
