Operational review

Cloudberry reports its operations in four segments, Production, Development, Operations and Corporate. Operations was established with the acquisition of Captiva in January 2022.

Production

Main activities

The focus during the fourth quarter was the handover of Hån Windfarm and optimizing operational procedures in place for the wind assets. In addition, the Production segment has spent time to follow-up of ongoing construction projects as well as continuous streamlining and improving our operational platform.

Power production

Cloudberry's strategy is to have a balance between hydro production (normally producing higher volumes in the summer) and wind production (normally producing higher volumes in the winter). In 2021- 2022 a majority of Cloudberry's production volumes came from hydro power. However, going forward Cloudberry's wind power plants will add significant volumes and balance out the expected seasonal variations from the hydropower plants. Hence, the 2023 production is expected to have a more balanced profile throughout the year.

Cloudberry's proportionate power production in the fourth quarter totaled 95 GWh, a doubling from 48 GWh during the same quarter last year. The significant growth can be primarily explained by completion of new wind power plants.

Hydro power production totaled 47 GWh in the fourth quarter. Precipitation in the southern part of Norway (price area NO1 and NO2) picked up during the fourth quarter and ended well above normal levels. This is in strong contrast to the last year when precipitation was below normal. The change in weather shows the importance of a geographically diversified portfolio.

Continuing lack of grid capacity between the price areas across the Nordic countries led to continuous large differences in area prices during the quarter, with generally low prices in the north and high prices in the south. All plants have seen stable operations over the quarter although the plants in NO3 and NO5 have in periods not been producing due to lack of water.

Wind power production totaled 48 GWh in the fourth quarter. The large increase from the same quarter last year (3GWh) reflects Odal Vind in full operation as well as Hån Vindpark coming into full production in December.

Project updates

  • · By the reporting date, Odal Vind has taken over all turbines. Except for the one turbine that needs to change its gearbox and main bearing, all turbines have been in operation. Due to long lead time on spare parts the gear box and main bearing will be changed during summer 2023. This is covered by Siemens guarantees. Odal Vind experienced difficult weather conditions in some periods during the quarter. Severe humidity in the air in combination with temperatures just below zero lead to icing challenges. Action has been taken so that this problem should be more limited going forward.
  • · The construction of Hån wind farm was completed on time and budget during the fourth quarter, and all turbines was taken over from Vestas in December. Production so far has been in accordance with expectations, except for a stop in one of the turbines during Christmas. The Vestas guarantee of 97% uptime is in effect from COD.
  • · Construction of Øvre Kvemma hydro powerplant continued according to plan during fourth quarter. Construction of powerplant and intake started, and the full 2 150 meters of the drilled waterway was completed mid-October. The plant is expected to be completed and financially closed in H1 2024.
  • · A number of initiatives were started to increase the amount of new hydro projects during the quarter. Cloudberry aims to continue building a pipeline of new hydro projects which may materialize into construction projects at a later stage. When searching for new hydro projects Cloudberry grants special attention to bio-diversity and local impact.

Power prices

Cloudberry realized an average physical power price of NOK 1.29 per kWh during the fourth quarter of 2022. More normalized levels of water in the reservoirs and above normal precipitation in the South of Norway in combination with lowered coal and gas prices reduced prices in NO 1,2 and 5. Prices in Northern Norway (NO 3 and 4) stayed at lower levels, but prices picked up slightly compared to previous quarter. Cloudberry will have a larger proportion of

Development

During the fourth quarter, the development segment reached a number of major milestones. The backlog with development projects in SE 3 has grown significantly and a final investment decision was taken on Sundby Vindpark in SE 3 (previously named Kafjärden).

Projects with construction permit

Sundby Vindpark AB (previously named Kafjärden). A final investment decision ("FID") was taken for Sundby Vindpark in December. Cloudberry signed in December nine 3.6 MW turbines with Vestas and plan to install a total capacity of 32.4 MW. The expected annual production is 89 GWh with a long-term ~97% uptime guarantee with Vestas. Total capex including development cost and contingency is estimated to EUR 50 million. Cloudberry will reuse a significant portion of the existing infrastructure (low nature and environment impact) and expects the project to be in operation already by the end of 2023.

Stenkalles (project Vänern). The wind farm at Stenkalles grund, located in Sweden's largest lake, Vänern (SE3), is a 100 MW, 18 turbine project owned 50/50 by Hafslund and Cloudberry. During the quarter, the joint venture and cooperation with Hafslund has been developed further and a joint project organization has been implemented. The project has received a two-year license extension from Swedish authorities. Based on the extension, Hafslund and Cloudberry have decided to spend additional time to optimize project economics and reduce risk. The expected operational date is pushed to 2025/2026.

Munkhyttan and Duvhällen is under way with integrated teams from Cloudberry and Captiva increasing the pace of the activities in the pre-construction phase. For Munkhyttan, final procurement production in the southern high price areas going forward as Odal and Hån (both NO 1) are in full production.

~98% of Cloudberry's production in fourth quarter was at merchant pricing (spot price). Bøen Kraft has a PPA in place of 8 GWh annually that expires 31.12.2024. Cloudberry secured a fixed 5-year contract for 4 GWh during 2022, at a fixed price of ~NOK 1.4 per kWh. The contract started January 2023.

is on-going and progressing according to plan. Cloudberry expects a final investment decision first half of 2023 and production in 2024. At Duvhällen, Cloudberry still awaits increased grid capacity.

Backlog & pipeline

Cloudberry has increased its backlog to 480 MW (15 projects) by securing exclusive rights to the wind projects Ulricehamn Vindpark (SE 3) and Söderköping Vindpark (SE 3). Cloudberry has a strong internal push and the local knowledge to increase the number of well anchored projects with local stakeholders. Cloudberry has removed two Norwegian wind projects from the backlog, as they have been down prioritized due to low probability of success.

Cloudberry has a long-term goal to have a project portfolio of > 2,500 MW in the Baltic Sea by 2030. Simpevarp is one example where Cloudberry is developing an offshore wind farm outside the peninsula in Oskarshamn located on the Swedish east coast in SE 3. A strong grid connection in combination with good water depths, suitable ports and a unique industrial energy expertise nearby create favorable conditions for Sweden's first large-scale unsubsidized offshore wind farm. The envisaged offshore wind farm Simpevarp has the capacity to produce ~3 TWh of electricity per year, corresponding to about 2% of Sweden's electricity. Due to the size of the project, it is likely that Cloudberry will look for a partner.

Further, Cloudberry is currently evaluating multiple sites and performing pre-studies to find the most suitable projects for future development.

Operations

The Operations segment includes the activities organized in the Captiva Group. Captiva is an asset manager and operator of wind and hydro assets in the Nordics with more than 15 years of history. Cloudberry is currently a 60% owner of Captiva with the option to purchase 100% of the business by 2025. Captiva has organized its business into management services and digital solutions.

Management Services (Captiva)

Main events during the fourth quarter:

  • · Integration with other segments of the Cloudberry Group continues with the following main activities last quarter;
  • Successfully completion of the Prepare-for-Operation Plan for Hån wind farm and supporting the hand-over from Development to Production
  • Supporting the late-stage development of the Sundby project bringing the project to Final Investment Decision (FID) December 2022. The Captiva team has supported the Development segment on tendering, detailed planning and project management.
  • Initiated the Prepare-for-Operation routine on the Sundby project.
  • · Signed a Service Level Agreement with a new international client regarding risk management and accounting services on a Finnish 100 MW wind farm
  • · Signed new clients and added new hydro power plant to the operational platform. 5 new plants with a total annual production of 90 GWh is added as new assignments.

Digital Solutions (Captiva)

Main events during the fourth quarter:

  • · The development of a new quality and HSE system for hydro power operation is completed, giving the users the tools to digitize obligatory power plant documentation on internal control and local supervision. The implementation process has started, and the system will be rolled out on all power plants on Captiva's operational platform, the Cloudberry owned plants included.
  • · The first pilot client on the new service concept Data Science as a Service is initiated, and the first deliveries was performed during the quarter. The concept included deep dive analysis of the plant's sensor data and reporting findings on operational performance and technical condition to the client.
  • · The project TYDE.science, a 3-year research project partly funded from the Research Council of Norway (Forskningsrådet), is well established with the participant parties NTNU and SINTEF. The aim of the project is to develop new digital tools for increasing renewable energy production from unregulated hydro plants, and the focus for the first months has been to increase accuracy and calculation of water flow and water loss. The activity in 2023 will be significant, and preparations and mobilization of resources has been performed during the last quarter of 2022

Corporate

General

  • · A new prospectus was approved in December by the Financial Supervisory Authority of Norway, which was published in relation to the private placement in September 2022. The prospectus is available at Cloudberry's website.
  • · In October Cloudberry resolved to increase its share capital in relation to Cloudberry's share purchase program for members of the Board of Directors with NOK 5,823.75 through the issuance

of 23,295 new shares. The Company's new share capital is NOK 72,824,976.25, divided into 291,299,905 shares, each with a par value of NOK 0.25. Each share carries one vote.

· Cloudberry has during 2020 - 2021 secured all longterm existing debt on fixed rates (10 – 21 years). This includes the debt in the associated companies Odal Vind (all interest-bearing debt secured on a 21-year fixed rate) and the Forte portfolio (all interest-bearing debt fixed for 15 years). Higher

interest rates will therefore not affect the cost level of the existing production portfolio.

  • · Cloudberry has invested a significant amount of time on the proposed new tax regime in Norway for wind power to inform the Government, the Ministry of Finance, the Parliament, and the public in general of the implications for renewable energy if implemented as proposed. Work continues together with industry organizations until official hearing ends 15 March 2023 and until final vote in the Parliament.
  • · Cloudberry has updated our ESG strategy after conducting a materiality analysis and stakeholder dialogue. ESG material topics, targets and KPIs have been updated and will be published in the annual Sustainability report 2022.
  • · As part of our focus on developing a strong and unique company culture, we have conducted an employee engagement survey in fourth quarter and are working proactively with the results to ensure continuous improvement.

Outlook

Cloudberry is continuing its profitable growth and has become a leading Nordic Independent Power Producer (IPP). Please refer to the newly announced acquisition of "Odin", which creates diversification into a new attractive market and price area DK1.

In the fourth quarter of 2022, we have further developed our assets under construction and our development pipeline. We are pleased that Odal Vind and Hån wind farms are in full production adding new renewable power to our portfolio. New wind power will also affect our production profile especially in winter where our hydro based portfolio is generally producing on a lower level. Further strengthening the production profile and power production is the FID on Sundby Wind Farm in SE 3 adding another 32MW to our portfolio when in production in approximately 12 months.

We have an increased focus on building up our development back-log with new hydro and wind projects. We are happy to see new projects in Sweden coming into the development portfolio. On the offshore side we continue our work on our latest early-stage project Simpevarp (800MW) in Sweden and also working on other near shore projects in the Swedish sector.

The Norwegian Government has proposed a new taxation for the renewable sector in Norway which we have received with great disappointment. We have been in close dialogue with the most important stakeholder from civil service and members of Government, industry, political parties and relevant organizations and trust that the decisionmakers understand the negative impact the proposal will have on the much needed energy transition and that the proposal finds an adjusted form before its brought to the Parliament hopefully before summer of 2023.

On the international arena EU is focusing on speeding up the energy transition through Fitfor55 and RePowerEU at the same time as they are looking at redesign the energy market. We are following the work closely and hope the outcome will be positive both for the developing of new renewable power throughout the EU leading to reduced and more stable energy prices for the consumers and industry.

The Nordic power market continues to look strong with high spot prices and high forward prices for all our relevant price areas. With the ongoing energy transition and the increased focus on security of supply the power prices are expected to remain strong.

Environmental, social and governance review

Fourth quarter ESG update

This section covers highlights and updates from the fourth quarter 2022. Cloudberry will report more in depth in our annual Sustainability report which will be published on 24 March 2023.

No incidents causing harm to people`s health and safety, nor any serious material or environmental damages were recorded in Cloudberry during the fourth quarter 2022. There were no whistleblowing reports and no reported nor detected incidents of corruption or fraud.

Sustainability strategy

Cloudberry has grown significantly in 2022 through the acquisition of 60% of the Captiva Group (the Operations segment) and by organic growth. The development necessitated updating the materiality analysis and the external stakeholder dialogue and the company has through this strengthened our sustainability strategy. Dialogue and input from all stakeholders are of high importance to the company. As a result, Cloudberry has updated our environmental, social and governance topics, by developing sustainability ambitions, targets, and key performance indicators (KPIs). During the fourth quarter 2022, the targets and KPIs were approved by the ESG committee and the Board of Directors in Cloudberry. The annual Sustainability report 2022 will describe these in detail.

Transitioning to a low-carbon society

Cloudberry's proportionate power production in 2022 totaled 268 GWh (117 GWh in 2021). The avoided emissions relative to baseline emissions from the European electricity mix (EU-27 electricity mix, IEA 2022) is equivalent to 59,496 tCO2 e (28,633 tCO2 e in 2021). Cloudberry`s carbon emissions accounting for 2022 from scope 1,2 and 3 will be published in the Sustainability report 2022. As of 2023, Cloudberry will report carbon emissions on a quarterly basis.

The final investment decision on Sundby Vindpark AB (Kafjärden) in Sweden was made by the end of fourth quarter. In this project, as in all of our

projects, we focus on biodiversity and as little nature and environmental impact as possible. At Sundby Vindpark a significant portion of the existing infrastructure, like foundations, roads, and crane supports will be reused. The internal cable network on site will also be reused with minor amendments. Furthermore, steel plates and wooden mats will be used for temporary storage of turbine blades, instead of building curves connected to the road. This way Cloudberry reduces impact on our valuable nature.

Climate risks and opportunities

In accordance with the recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD), relevant climate risks and opportunities in the Operations segment were assessed during the fourth quarter 2022. The results have been integrated in Cloudberry`s overall climate related risks and opportunities. Going forward, analysis of climate-related risks in specific projects and assets will continue to be conducted. In addition, we are currently evaluating climate-related risk scenarios, and an integrated scenario analysis will be incorporated in the Cloudberry strategy. The TCFD report and scenario analysis will be published in conjunction with the Sustainability report 2022.

Taxonomy update

100% of the turnover within the Production and Development segments is considered to be EU Taxonomy eligible. The Operations segment will be a part of the taxonomy reporting from 2023. A thirdparty assessment is being carried out to assess alignment with the criteria of the EU Taxonomy on the hydro- and wind power assets. The evaluation is ongoing and will be reported from 2023.

Diversity, equity, and inclusion

Fostering diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in the organization is of high importance for Cloudberry. It is also required by law through the Equality and Discrimination Act. In the fourth quarter 2022 Cloudberry conducted an employee engagement survey focusing on HMS, compliance, work life

balance and DEI in the workplace. The result from the survey gave a DEI index of 5,2 (6 is maximum score), which is a bundle of responses to five questions. This result constitutes the baseline for measures and targets within DEI and employee engagement. Even though the results were considered satisfactory, measures for progress are identified and under implementation to strengthen the work going forward. As part of our continuous improvement, smaller surveys in addition to the annual employee engagement survey will be conducted and discussed in focus groups during 2023. Cloudberry has set targets related to gender balance in the company and are to be published in the Sustainability report 2022.

To heighten the company's ambitions related to DEI and workplace environment as well as to further expectations from the legislation, Cloudberry has updated our Code of Conduct, approved by the Board of the company by the end of 2022.

Transparency Act

Cloudberry conducted a due diligence assessment in accordance with the requirements of the Transparency Act during 2022 to secure fundamental human rights and decent working conditions in our entire supply chain. In fourth quarter we have taken further steps to strengten our work on transparency and decent working conditions, such as implementing pre-screening of all potential suppliers. We will report on our work with the Transparency Act within the deadline 30 June 2023, and include details on actions taken to reduce the risk of human rights breaches in the Sustainability report 2022.

Local value creation

Investing in local stakeholder and community relations is fundamental for Cloudberry. In the Sundby Vindpark AB (Kafjärden) project, a specific budget dedicated to environmental and social work in the construction phase has been included. In addition, a budget for the production period is in place for investment in local initiatives, which is an integral part of returning value to the communities in which Cloudberry operates. For the company, responsible actions towards the society means contributions and interactions with the local community, by local presence, providing information, and by finding the best possible solutions for the residents.

Financial review

Consolidated and proportionate EBITDA for the fourth quarter were NOK 34m and NOK 57m respectively compared with NOK -7m and NOK -11m in same quarter last year.

The increase in consolidated and proportionate revenues and EBITDA compared to the same quarter last year stems primarily from increased production volumes from new power plants and higher realized power prices.

Net income from associated companies was NOK 21m in fourth quarter (NOK 10m same quarter 2021) with NOK 1m from Forte and NOK 20m from Odal.

Net finance expense in fourth quarter is a gain of NOK 16m (NOK -9m in same quarter last year). This is mainly due to positive other financial expense of NOK 18m from a fair value adjustment on the Bøen power price contract derivative. Interest payments related to the long-term debt facility was NOK -5m in fourth 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 the acqusition of the Odin portfolio with existing cash and debt facilities.

Profit or Loss

Revenue

Total revenue in fourth quarter was NOK 75m compared with NOK 22m in the same quarter last year. Increase of revenue from power production was NOK 34m and is due to increased production volumes and increased average power prices. Increase of NOK 15m is related to revenue from the new business segment Operations, while NOK 4m is related to gain from sale of past projects within the Operations and Development segment. The total revenue in

fourth quarter included the effect of an adjusted accounting gain of NOK 2m related to sale of 50% of Stenkalles to the new project partner Hafslund.

Revenue for the financial year 2022 was NOK 217m, compared with NOK 41m for financial year 2021. The increase on NOK 176m is mainly related to increased power production and higher average power price, but also revenue from the acquired operations segment.

Net income from associated companies and joint ventures (JV)

Notes to the condensed interim consolidated financial statements

Note 1 General information

Corporate information

Cloudberry Clean Energy ASA ("Cloudberry"), its subsidiaries and investments in associated companies ("the Group") is a Nordic renewable power producer, operator and developer. The Company has an integrated business model across the life cycle of hydro- and wind power plants including project development, financing, construction (normally outsourced), ownership, management and operations.

Cloudberry Clean Energy ASA is incorporated and domiciled in Norway. The address of its registered office is Frøyas gate 15, NO-0273 Oslo, Norway. Cloudberry Clean Energy ASA was established on 10 November 2017. The Company is listed on Oslo Stock Exchange main list (ticker: CLOUD).

The condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the fourth quarter of 2022 were authorized by the Board of Directors for issue on 13 February 2023.

Note 2 General accounting policies and principles

Basis of preparation

The Group's consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) for interim reporting under International Accounting standard, IAS 34, and interpretations from International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) as adopted by the EU. These consolidated interim financial statements are unaudited.

Presentation and classification of items in the financial statements is consistent for the periods presented. Application of the accounting policies by the subsidiaries has been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with Group accounting policies. The functional currency of the companies in the Group is determined based on the nature of the primary economic environment in which the company operates. This is the Norwegian krone (NOK), the Swedish krone (SEK), Euro (EURO) and Swiss franc (CHF). The functional currency of the parent company Cloudberry Clean Energy ASA and the presentation currency of the Group is Norwegian kroner (NOK).

The Group's consolidated financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis. When assessing this assumption, management has assessed all available information about the future. This comprises information about net cash flows from existing operations, debt service and obligations. After making this assessment, management has a reasonable expectation that the Group has adequate resources to continue its operational existence for the foreseeable future.

Basis and principles for consolidation Subsidiaries

The consolidated financial statements are comprised of the financial statements of the parent company Cloudberry Clean Energy ASA and its subsidiaries. Subsidiaries are all entities over which the Company has control. When assessing whether the Company controls an entity the roles and activities are analyzed in line with the definitions and requirements in IFRS 10.

Investments in associated companies and joint ventures (JV)

Associated companies are companies where the Group has significant influence. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee, but not control or joint control over those policies. Investments in associated companies are recognized in the consolidated accounts using the equity method and presented as non-current assets.

Joint ventures (JV) are companies or entities where the Group has joint control with one or several other investors. In a joint venture company, decisions related to relevant activities must be unanimous between participants who have joint control. Investments in joint ventures are recognized in the consolidated accounts using the equity method and presented as non-current assets.

Equity method

Under the equity method of accounting, the investments are initially recognized at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognize the Group's share of the post-acquisition profit or loss. Dividends received or receivable from associated companies or joint ventures, are recognized as a reduction of the carrying amount of the investment.

Business segment

Business segments are reported in a manner consistent with how the Group internally follows up the business. The Group's segment financials are reported on a proportionate basis.

The key differences between the proportionate and the consolidated IFRS financials are that all entities are included with the respective ownership share in each accounting line by the Group. Associated companies and joint ventures are included in the financial accounting lines of the profit or loss statement and share of assets and net debt, with the respective proportionate ownership share, in the consolidated financials associated companies are consolidated with the equity method. Subsidiaries that have non-controlling interests are presented with only the Group ownership share, while in the consolidated financials they are included with 100%. Proportionate financials is how the internal financial reporting to the Group's chief operating decision maker, defined as the Executive Management team, is prepared. The business segments are determined

based on the differences in the nature of their operations.

Cloudberry manages its operations in four segments, Production, Development, Operations and Corporate.

Revenue recognition

Cloudberry accounts for revenue in accordance with IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers and applies the five-step method to all revenue streams.

The Group's sales revenues are divided into the following categories:

    1. Sale of hydro and wind generated electricity delivered to the grid, el-certificates and guarantees of origin.
    1. Sale of management services for hydro and wind power assets.
    1. Sale of management services development
    1. Digital services
    1. Consultancy services within accounting and IT management.
    1. Agency fee power sales

The revenues from power production or related products bear the characteristic of delivering power, el-certificates and guarantees of origin, at a certain price. The performance obligation is to deliver a series of distinct goods (power or related products) and the transaction price is the consideration the Group expects to receive, at either spot price, regulated price or contract price. The performance obligation is satisfied over time which entails that revenue should be recognized for each unit delivered at the transaction price. The Group applies a practical expedient under IFRS 15 whereby the revenue from power for most of the contracts is recognized at the amount of which the entity has a right to invoice. The right to invoice power arises when power is produced and delivered, and the right to invoice the consideration will normally correspond directly with the value to the customer. The right to invoice for el-certificates and guarantees of origin arise when the certificates are delivered.

Revenue from management and consultancy services is recognized when the service is preformed, and the Group has an unconditional right to the consideration settlement. When the performance obligation is fulfilled and Cloudberry has an unconditional right to the consideration, this is presented separately in the balance sheet as a receivable.

Agency fee from power sales are services related to power trade on behalf of power producers. Agency fee revenues are presented net and represent only the agency fee. This is because the Company acts on behalf of the power producer and does not trade at own risk. A smaller part of the trade portfolio includes risk related to unbalance, but this risk is actively reduced as much as possible.

When determining the transaction price for each element in the contract, Cloudberry adjusts for the time value of money if the timing of payment agreed to by the parties provides the customer with a significant benefit of financing. The Group applies a practical approach, and the consideration is not adjusted for a financing component if the period between the transfer for the goods or service and the payment is less than a year.

Other income

Sale of ready-to-build development projects is accounted net of inventory costs and presented as other income in accordance with IFRS 10. The projects are often organized in single-purpose-vehicles (SPV) and the net gain and net loss is recognized when control of the project SPV is transferred to the acquirer. Net gain or loss from sale of fixed assets (producing power plants) is classified and presented as other income.

For further information about the Group's applied accounting policies and principles please refer to the annual report for 2021.

Note 3 Business segments

The Group reports its operations in four business segments; Production, an active owner of renewable power assets in the Nordics; Development, a greenfield developer both on and off-shore with a long history of organic, in-house developments of wind and hydropower assets in Norway and Sweden; Operations, an asset manager and operator of renewable power assets, that also delivers industrial digital solutions, and a cost efficient Corporate segment ensure management tasks for the Group like financing, marketing, reporting and other corporate activities.

The Group reports on proportionate financials (APM) for each business segment. Proportionate financials are further defined and described in the APM section of this report.

Alternative Performance Measures

The alternative performance measures (abbreviated APMs) that hereby are provided by the Group are a supplement to the financial statements that are prepared in accordance with IFRS. This is based on the Group's experience that APMs are frequently used by analysts, investors, and other parties for supplement information.

The purpose of the APMs, both financial and nonfinancial, is to provide an enhanced insight to the operations, financing, and future prospect 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:

Measure Description Reason for including
EBITDA EBITDA is net earnings before interest,
tax, depreciation, amortisation &
impairments.
Shows performance regardless of capital structure, tax
situation or effects arising from different depreciation
methods. Management believes the measurement
enables an evaluation of operating performance.
EBIT EBIT is net earnings before interest and
tax.
Shows performance regardless of capital structure, tax
situation or effects arising from different depreciation
methods. Management believes the measurement
enables an evaluation of operating performance.
Net interest-bearing
debt (NIBD)
Net interest-bearing debt is interest
bearing debt, less cash and cash
equivalents. IFRS 16 leasing liabilities are
not included in the net interest-bearing
debt.
Shows the interest-bearing debt position of the company
adjusted for the cash position. Management believes the
measure provides an indicator of net indebtedness and
risk.
Equity ratio Equity ratio equals total equity divided
by total assets
Shows the equity relative to the assets. Management
believes the measurement enables an evaluation the
financial strength and an indicator of risk.

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:

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.

Non-financial APMs

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 Agency1
("IEA") the electrical power consumption per capita in Europe is
approximately 6 MWh per year.
For power production estimates it is used normalized annual
level of power production (GWh). This may deviate from actual
production within a single 12-month period but 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 permit. Construction
Permit is at 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
permit.
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
project where Cloudberry has
an exclusive right to the projects.
The projects are still under
development.
Direct emissions Measure in tons of CO2
equivalents. The use of fossil fuels for
transportation or combustion in owned, leased or rented assets.
It also includes emission from industrial processes.
Shows Cloudberry's direct
emissions (Scope 1, GHG
emissions) for the full year.
Indirect emissions Measure in tons of CO2
equivalents. Related to purchased
energy; electricity and heating/cooling where the organisation
has operational control.
The electricity emission factors used are based on electricity
production mixes from statistics made public by the IEA.
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.
Shows Cloudberry's indirect
emissions (Scope 2 and Scope 3,
GHG emissions) for the full year.
CO2 reduction Refers to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions relative
to baseline emissions from the European electricity mix (EU-27
electricity mix, IEA 2021.
Shows Cloudberry's reduction of
greenhouse gases for the full year
relative to the European Electricity
mix after the direct and indirect
emissions from Cloudberry's
operation is subtracted
