Cloudberry reports consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS and a supplementary proportionate 1 segment reporting. Proportionate financials represent Cloudberry's proportionate share of the financial results, assets, and liabilities of all entities and excluding any eliminations of transactions between segments. Cloudberry believes that the proportionate reporting provides enhanced insight to the operation, financing and future prospect of the Group. Proportionate reporting is aligned with internal management reporting, analysis and decision making.
Cloudberry is preparing for the adoption of the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) required by the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). The standard is based on the structure Environment, Social and Governance (ESG). For more information see our Sustainability chapter.

Cloudberry reports its operations in four segments: Development, Production, Operations and Corporate. Please see the 2022 annual report for further information about the segments.
Construction of Øvre Kvemma hydro powerplant continued according to plan during the quarter. Construction is expected to be completed during the year. Financial close is expected H1 2024 after the plant is connected to the grid and tested.
Sundby Vindpark. The final investment decision ("FID") for Sundby Vindpark was taken in December 2022 and the project is progressing according to plan. On site, the final adjustments to the existing infrastructure are being made in preparation for the installation of nine 3.6 MW Vestas turbines. Expected annual production is 89GWh with a long-term ~97% availability guarantee from Vestas. Total investment, including development costs and contingencies, is estimated at EUR 50 million. Cloudberry expects to re-use a significant amount of existing infrastructure (low impact on nature and environment) and expects the project to be operational by the end of 2023.
Munkhyttan is in the final stages of development, including final design and procurement. A final investment decision is targeted before summer 2023.
Stenkalles (Vänern project). The Stenkalles wind farm on Sweden's largest lake, Vänern (SE3), is a 100 MW, 18-turbine project owned 50/50 by Hafslund and Cloudberry. The joint venture and cooperation with Hafslund have been further developed and a joint project organization is now in operation. The expected commissioning date is set to 2025/2026.
At Duvhällen, Cloudberry is still waiting for grid capacity from Vattenfall.
Cloudberry has a backlog of 486 MW (16 projects), an increase from 424 MW per reporting date of the first quarter 2022. Further, Cloudberry is continuously working to gain access to additional sites in close dialogue with local communities and landowners.
The permitting process for the Swedish onshore wind projects Björnetjärnsberget, Ulricehamn, Söderköping and Munkhyttan II is on track and applications for all four sites will be submitted in less than 12 months.
A permit application for a joint solar project in Norway of up to 8 MW with Skagerak Kraft and Løvenskiold-Fossum has recently been submitted to NVE (Norges vassdrags- og energidirektorat). For Cloudberry, the solar project is a pilot and further information about a potential solar strategy will be reverted to at a later stage.
Development of new hydro projects continued during first quarter. Notice (NO: "Forhåndsmelding") for a planned 28 MW project was sent to the regulating authority NVE during the quarter. Based on the ongoing hearing we expect to be able to file a concession application later this year, and due to the size of the project we are optimistic that the NVE will prioritize the project. The development organization also during the quarter signed two new land lease agreements for early phase hydro projects with a total of 7-8 MW of annual production. A concession application is planned filed for both projects later this year.
For the Simpevarp project, a joint venture agreement was recently signed with Svea Vind Offshore to co-develop the project in order to de-risk and accelerate the development activities. As Svea has already carried out most of the environmental studies, Cloudberry has decided to join forces in order to reduce the development time by 1-2 years and significantly increase the probability of success while lowering development cost. The next milestone is to submit the application, which is expected in the first half of 2024. Further over the quarter consultations have been held with all relevant authorities, the public and interest groups, as well as an ongoing dialogue with local industry and stakeholders on local value creation. Amongst others, local hearings (SE: Samråd) were held over the quarter and ongoing discussions are currently going according to plan.
In February 2023, Cloudberry signed sale and purchase agreement to acquire 80% of the Odin portfolio from Skovgaard Energy A/S ("Skovgaard"). The agreement secures Cloudberry a majority stake in a portfolio consisting of up to 51 high-quality wind turbines in production, with 47 turbines located in Denmark and additional 4 turbines in southern Sweden. The Odin portfolio will add up to 311 GWh of estimated annual production net to Cloudberry. Subsequent to the balance sheet date, the transaction received approval from the Danish authorities. Closing of the transaction is progressing according to plan, and is expected to be completed in Q2 2023. Please see the stock exchange notice published 10 February and note 2 in this report for further information with regards to the transaction.
Cloudberry's proportionate power production in the first quarter totaled 90 GWh, tripling from 29 GWh during the same quarter last year. The significant growth is primarily explained by inclusion of new wind and hydro power plants. The table below shows the proportionate production over the quarter, split between the price areas.
| Production | Q1 2023 | Q1 2022 |
|---|---|---|
| NO1 | 57 | 2 |
| NO2 | 25 | 10 |
| NO3 | 5 | 9 |
| NO4 | 1 | 0 |
| NO5 | 4 | 7 |
| Total | 90 | 29 |
Hydro power production totaled 31 GWh in the first quarter (24 GWh same quarter last year). A cold winter, especially in the western parts of Norway, resulted in the rivers being frozen over a longer time than usual. For NO3 and NO5 this lowered production compared to a normal year. All power plants with flowing water had stable operations, and there were no technical problems over the quarter.
Wind power production totaled 59 GWh in the first quarter (5 GWh same quarter last year). The large increase reflects the addition of Odal Vind as well as Hån Vindpark which came into full production in December 2022. Odal Vind experienced difficult weather conditions especially in January. Severe humidity in the air in combination with temperatures just below zero lead to icing of the weather stations on the turbines, with loss of production as a result. Actions have been taken to resolve the problem before next winter. Hån is in full production and producing according to expectations.
Cloudberry realized an average net power price of NOK 1.18 per kWh during the first quarter of 2023, compared to NOK 1.02 per kWh during the first quarter of 2022. Above normal precipitation in the South of Norway, normalized levels of water in the reservoirs in combination with lowered coal and gas prices reduced prices in NO 1, 2 and 5 compared to the fourth quarter of 2022. Prices in Northern Norway (NO 3 and 4) also came down from the fourth quarter.
~97% of Cloudberry's production in first quarter was at merchant pricing (spot price). Cloudberry has hedged a total of 12 GWh of annual production where 8 GWh expires end of 2024 and 4 GWh by end of 2027.
The Operations segment represents the activities organized in the Captiva Group under the business areas management services and digital solutions. Cloudberry is currently a 60% owner of Captiva with the option to purchase 100% of the business by 2025.
The Operations segment continued its integration with other segments of the Cloudberry Group with the following main activities over the quarter:
Over the quarter the Operations segment started to deliver on a new service level agreement for two Finnish wind farms with an installed capacity of close to 100 MW. The contract is a milestone contract for Captiva which includes service offerings within financial services, risk management and wind asset management, approximately doubling the number of MWs of wind power Captiva are currently engaged on in Finland.
The Operations segment continued its development of the Captiva Portal to include operative insight and KPIs on wind, hydro and solar power to be launched later in 2023. The ramp-up continued of the digital development with focus on commercial modules on PPAs and liquidity planning. Further over the quarter new clients were signed, adding 17 assets and 135 GWh to the digital platform the Captiva Portal.
The TYDE.science project, a 3-year research project partly funded from the Research Council of Norway (Forskningsrådet) is progressing as planned and use-cases being developed in the project are being introduced directly to key customers with the purpose of offering analytics services based on pre-defined cases.
The Operations segment delivered the first taxonomy alignment statements on 11 hydro power plants through a newly launched product Rexonomy. The product has gained a lot of interest and current market feedback indicates that Rexonomy is one of the of the leading products towards the EU Taxonomy alignment services for this asset class.
The Annual General Assembly was held subsequent to the quarter, and Cloudberry is pleased to welcome its new Chairperson Tove Feld and new Board Member Alexandra Koefod; both bringing significant industry experience to Cloudberry. Please see the recommendation from the Nomination Committee to AGM for full CV's of the new board members. Frank Berg and Liv Lønnum has stepped down, and we thank them for their valuable service to Cloudberry.

Cloudberry expects to close the Odin transaction and become a leading Nordic Independent Power Producer (IPP) before summer. The Odin transaction adds significant short-term cash flow and diversifies Cloudberry's production profile across geographies and price areas. On the development side, we already observe a strong cooperation between Skovgaard and Cloudberry and believe the Danishplatform will add significant value to our development and production segment over time.
In Sweden, we do also observe valuable developments in our pipeline and backlog projects. We believe local projects strongly aligned with local stakeholders can add significant value to Cloudberry over time. The recent public hearing at our Simpevarp project (~800 MW) is a good example of our local involvement and project development.
In Norway, Cloudberry still awaits the final outcome of the Norwegian tax proposals. The revised state budget will be publicly announced on 11 May 2023 where updates may be included. If there are no news in the announcement, Cloudberry believes a tax update will delay until fall 2023. New small and mid-scale hydro projects are still targeted by Cloudberry, but new wind developments in Norway will depend on the final outcome of the tax proposal.
On the international arena US and EU is focusing on speeding up the energy transition, at the same time there are fewer investment decisions and it is becoming more and more likely that the 2030 climate targets will be missed. Therefore, Cloudberry believes that not only existing production, but also new projects with strong stakeholder alignment, grid capacity and robust project economics will become highly attractive assets over the years to come.

Cloudberrys Sustainability Report 2022 was published at the end of first quarter 2023. The report summarizes the companys activities during 2022, the results of the key performance indicators, and targets related to the material ESG risks and opportunities. Cloudberry also published the TCFD (Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures) report including the first scenario analysis based on the material climate risks for the company.
No incidents causing harm to people`s health and safety, nor any serious material or environmental damages were recorded in Cloudberry during the first quarter 2023.
Cloudberry received its first whistleblowing notification during first quarter 2023. The incident relates to potential discrimination during a recruitment process. The company has investigated the incident and conducted a third-party verification. The conclusion from the investigation was that no misconduct occurred during the recruitment process. In fact, the process was in line with the Company's ambitions and targets of increasing female representation in the Company. Cloudberry reports
nonetheless on the received notification as part of our transparent communication. The whistleblowing was done anonymously through the whistleblowing channel.
No incidents of corruption or fraud were reported during first quarter 2023.
During first quarter 2023, Cloudberry continued its effort to address the importance of compliance and adherence to the ethical guidelines. An awareness training regarding the Code of Conduct, the Whistleblowing procedure, and the zero-tolerance policy for corruption was conducted with all employees present.
The procedures related to prequalifying suppliers during tender and procurement processes have been fully incorporated in Cloudberry´s new projects in 2023. The targets are set for screening of suppliers having significant impact in our projects.
Cloudberry reports the performance and targets across our material topics quarterly:

1 The construction of Odal Wind farm was completed In 2022. The power plant is now operating, and the GHG emissions are reported according to the Protocol and Scope 3.
2 The results from the Employee engagement index and the Equal opportunities index is 5.2, where 6 is the maximum possible score. The numbers in Q1 2023 are the actual numbers of 2022 and will be updated annually.
3 From 2023 the reporting covers all subsidiaries in the Group. Female employees % of total has been adjusted for 2022.
Cloudberry's proportionate power production in first quarter 2023 totaled 90 GWh (29 GWh in Q1 2022). The avoided emissions relative to baseline emissions from the European electricity mix (EU-27 electricity mix, IEA 2022) is equivalent to 19,980 tCO2 e, tripling from 6,438 tCO2 e during the same quarter last year. As of 2023, Cloudberry reports direct and indirect Green House Gas (GHG) emissions on a quarterly basis. The GHG emissions from Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 in first quarter 2023 amounted to 13 tCO2 e (2,700 1 tCO2 e in Q1 2022). There were no reportable GHG emissions related to the construction activity during first quarter. More construction activities, increasing the GHG emissions, will occur during second quarter 2023.
Cloudberry has further aligned with the requirements in the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) recommendations, focusing on developing more mature and holistic reporting. During the first quarter, we updated our climate-related financial risks and opportunities related to our recent growth and expansion. The results were further used to formulate the most material risks for Cloudberry, which the scenario analysis is based upon. The detailed TCFD report and the scenario analysis were published on our website in March 2023.
The recognised third party, Det Norske Veritas (DNV), was engaged to perform a detailed assessment of our alignment to the criteria of the EU Taxonomy. DNV stated that all of Cloudberry's hydropower plants are aligned to the criteria, and a verification statement has been issued for each of the hydropower plants. A third-party verification of the alignment to the criteria of the EU Taxonomy of our three wind power plants is ongoing and we expect to report alignment within 2023. Our internal analysis found that the three wind power plants are aligned to the criteria. Cloudberry is currently developing a stand-alone Taxonomy report that will be published during 2023. For more detailed information please go to our Sustainability Report 2022.
As a part of the local stakeholder management, Cloudberry initiated a meeting with the landowners at the wind farm projects Duvhällen and Sundby Vindpark. The stakeholders were updated on further development of the wind parks. The meeting was held in our office in Eskilstuna, Sweden, near the project sites.
Politicians from The Environmental Party initiated a meeting to learn more about on- and offshore wind energy projects. In first quarter an introduction to Sundby Vindpark was held on site to promote knowledge and political engagement to raise the importance of more efficient concession/permitting processes.
Furthermore, at Sundby Vindpark, the contractor will use the landowners existing facilities as site office, instead of constructing temporary barracks. By this we avoid unnecessary negative impact on nature, and we avoid use of diesel generators during the construction period.
Subsequent to the quarter, the offshore wind project Simpevarp havsvindpark, held a four-day long local hearing (SE: Samråd). In total Cloudberry met with more than 500 people representing local interest groups, industry, landowners, and other stakeholders. They were informed about the project and permit process and encouraged to send in a statement regarding the project. Transparency and building trust are important factors when planning the hearings. Cloudberry interacts with local communities in the best possible way with the goal to be a positive contributor regarding social, environmental, and economic impact.
1 The number is an estimate for Q1 2022 calculated out of the total GHG emission in 2022. From 2023 the GHG emissions reported quarterly are based on the invoices from the construction period.
Consolidated and proportionate revenues for the first quarter were NOK 68m and NOK 115m respectively, compared with NOK 30m and NOK 38m in same quarter last year.
Consolidated and proportionate EBITDA for the first quarter were NOK 20m and NOK 48m respectively compared with NOK 12m and NOK 5m in same quarter last year.
The increase in consolidated and proportionate revenues and EBITDA compared to the same quarter last year stems from increased production volumes from new power plants, primarily the wind projects Odal and Hån.
High price contribution tax was implemented from 1 January and is classified as other operating expenses. The total cost in first quarter amounted to NOK 5m, of which NOK 2m is related to consolidated power plants, and NOK 3m is related to Cloudberry's share in Forte and Odal and is therefore included in net income from associated companies and JV's.
Ground rent tax has been calculated and included with a total effect in first quarter of NOK 11m for
the Group, which primarily is related to Odal and therefore included in net income from associated companies and JV's.
Net income from associated companies and JV's was NOK 7m in first quarter (NOK 13m same quarter 2021), of this was NOK 11m related to Odal (NOK 3m) and NOK -5m from Forte (NOK 11m).
Net finance expense in first quarter is a gain of NOK 104m (NOK -11m in same quarter last year). This is mainly due to gain on hedging derivatives showing effectiveness of Cloudberry's risk reducing initiatives. Please see note 4 for further information.
Interest payments related to the long-term debt facility was NOK -3m in first quarter. All long-term interest-bearing debt is secured with fixed interest rate with applied hedge accounting.
As per reporting date the Group has a strong financial position and is fully financed for project Odin with existing cash and debt facilities.


The table below summarize the key figures on consolidated basis
| NOK million | Q1 2023 | Q1 2022 | FY 2022 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue and other income | 68 | 30 | 217 |
| Net income/(loss) from associated companies and JV | 7 | 13 | 120 |

| Net interest bearing debt (NIBD) | (1 181) | (731) | (1 199) |
| Basic earings per share | 0.39 | (0.02) | 0.47 |
Total consolidated revenue in first quarter was NOK 68m compared with NOK 30m in the same quarter last year. Increase of revenue from power production was NOK 35m and is due to increased production volumes (from 19GWh to 47GWh in fully owned entities) and increased average power prices. The remaining increase of NOK 3m is related to revenue from project development and operations services from asset management and consultancy.
Net income from associated companies and JV's represents Cloudberry's investment in Odal Vind, Forte and Stenkalles utilizing the equity method to account for Cloudberry's proportion of the company's net income for the consolidated accounts. Odal Vind and Forte's net income represents primarily profit from power sales and are included in the Production segment for the proportionate figures, while Stenkalles is a wind development project and included in the Development segment (from 19 September 2022).
Net income from associated companies and JV's was NOK 7m in first quarter, an decrease of NOK 5m from the same quarter last year. Of the total net income Odal represents NOK 11m (NOK 3m in first
quarter 2022) which is heavily influenced by the high price contribution tax amounting to NOK 3m net to Cloudberry, and tax expense of NOK 13m net to Cloudberry of which NOK 11m represent accrual for ground rent tax. Net income from Forte was NOK -5m in first quarter (NOK 11m in first quarter 2022). The result from Forte is primarily influenced by a negative impacted from a change in fair value of the Løvenskiold power off-take agreement derivative of net NOK -6m, as well as lower production than normal due to frozen rivers.
EBITDA was NOK 20m in first quarter, an increase of NOK 8m from NOK 12m in same quarter previous year. The increase comprises of increased revenues of NOK 38m, increased operating expenses of NOK 24m and a decreased net income from associated companies of NOK 5m.
The increase in operating expenses of NOK 24m relates mainly to increased salary and personnel expenses of NOK 7m, of which NOK 3m is increased warrant costs (non-cash) and increased other operating expenses amounts to NOK 15m. The increase of NOK 15m in other operating expenses consists mainly of NOK 5m related to landowner rent, NOK 4m in external fees and NOK 2m related to high price contribution tax. Increase of NOK 2m relates to increased cost of goods sold.

EBIT in first quarter was NOK 7m, compared with NOK 4m in same quarter last year. The increase of NOK 3m is due to increased EBITDA of NOK 8m, and NOK 5m in increased depreciations and amortizations.

The Group's segment financials are reported on a proportionate basis.
The Group presents 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:
From the consolidated IFRS reported figures, to arrive at the proportionate figures for the respective periods the Group has:
A: Added back eliminated internal profit or loss items and internal debt and assets, column A.
B: Replaced the equity accounted net profit from associated companies in the period with items in column C and D. Replaced the investment in shares in associated companies including historical share of profit or loss (asset value) with balance sheet items in column C and D.
C: Reclassified excess value items included in the equity method to the respective line in the Profit or loss statement, and in the balance sheet.
D: Included the proportionate share of the line in the profit or loss statement items (respectively: revenues, operating expenses, depreciations and amortizations and net finance items) and the balance sheet items (total assets, interest bearing debt and cash) for the respective associated company.
E: Excluded residual ownership share related to non-controlling interest in the respective accounting lines.

| Measure | Description | Reason for including |
|---|---|---|
| Power Production | Power delivered to the grid over the defined time period (one year). Units are measured in GWh. Example A typical 4 MW turbine produces 3 000 full-load hours during a year. 4 MW x 3 000 hours = 12 000 MWh or 12 GWh. For illustration, according to the International Energy Agency 1 ("IEA") the electrical power consumption per capita in Europe is approximately 6 MWh per year. For power production estimates the normalized annual level of power production (GWh) is used. This may deviate from actual production within a single 12-month period but this measure is the best estimate for annual production over a period of several years. Defined as "Normalized production". |
Shows Cloudberry's total production in GWh for the full year including the proportionate share of the production from Cloudberry's associated companies. |
| Production & under construction, secured |
At the time of measure, the estimated power output of the secured production and under construction portfolio. The measure is at year-end. Units are measured in MW. |
Shows Cloudberry's total portfolio of secured projects that are either producing or under construction. |
| Construction Permits | At the time of measure, the estimated total power output to be installed in projects with construction permits. Construction Permit is the stage when concession has been granted, but before a final investment decision has been made. The measure is at year-end. Units are measured in MW. |
Shows Cloudberry's total portfolio of projects with construction permits. |
| Backlog | At the time of measure, the estimated total effect to be installed related to projects that are exclusive to the Group and in a concession application process. The measure is at year-end. Units are measured in MW |
Shows Cloudberry's portfolio of projects where Cloudberry has an exclusive right to the projects. The projects are still under development. |
| Direct emissions | Direct emissions is the use of fossil fuels for transportation or combustion in owned, leased or rented assets. It also includes emissions from industrial processes. We measure this in tons of CO2 equivalents. |
Shows Cloudberry's direct emissions (Scope 1, GHG emissions). Emissions are reported quarterly. |
| Indirect emissions | Indirect emissions relate to purchased energy; electricity and heating/cooling where the organisation has operational control. We measure this in tons of CO2 equivalents. Emissions from value chain activities are a result of the Group's upstream and downstream activities, which are not controlled by the Group. Examples are consumption of products, business travel, goods transportation and waste handling. The electricity emission factors used are based on electricity production mixes from statistics made public by the IEA. |
Shows Cloudberry's indirect emissions (Scope 2 and Scope 3, GHG emissions). Emissions are reported quarterly. |
| CO2 reduction | Refers to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions relative to baseline emissions from the European electricity mix (EU-27 electricity mix, IEA 2022). |
