Cloudberry is a renewable energy company, born, bred, and operating in the Nordics. We own, develop, and operate hydropower plants and wind farms in Norway and Sweden. We are powering the transition to a sustainable future by providing new renewable energy today and for future generations. We believe in a fundamental long-term demand for renewable energy in Europe. With this as a cornerstone, we are building a sustainable, scalable, efficient, and profitable platform for creation of stakeholder value.
Our business model is based on three revenue generating segments and one cost-efficient corporate segment: Development, 100% owned, green-field development both on and off-shore with a long history of organic, in-house developments of wind and hydropower assets in Norway and Sweden. Production, 100% owned, an active owner of renewable power assets in the Nordics. Operations (from January 2022), 60% owned, an asset manager and operator of hydro and wind assets including digital solutions with a scalable operating platform.
Our strong commitment to local communities and integrated value chain ensures local presence and optimization of stakeholder alignment and value creation.
Our current portfolio consists of 28 hydropower and three wind power assets. We have a local and active ownership strategy and prefer 100% ownership; however, in certain investments we have proportionate ownership with strong, strategic partners. The scalable Cloudberry platform is positioned for valuable growth, both in terms of energy production and our in-house development backlog and pipeline. Cloudberry's strategy is to continue to grow both organically and inorganically in the Nordic market. We are backed by strong owners and an experienced management team. Our shares are traded on Oslo Stock Exchange's main list, ticker: CLOUD.
Cloudberry reports consolidated IFRS and proportionate segment reporting to provide enhanced insight to the operation, financing and future prospect of the Group. Proportionate reporting is aligned with internal management reporting, analysis and decision making. The alternative performance measures (abbreviated APMs) provided by Cloudberry are a supplement to the financial statements that are prepared in accordance with IFRS.
Cloudberrys ESG reporting and the companys approach to sustainability, is inspired by the World Economic Forum (WEF) Stakeholder Capitalism Metrix, organized into four pillars, Principles of Governance, Planet, People and Prosperity. For more information see chapter Environmental, social and governance review.

Duvhällen project included as 60 MW, Cloudberry has grid capacity permit for 30 MW and has applied for increased grid capacity to match the construction permit. Munkhyttan project, included as 18 MW (not including option for Munkhyttan II).
• As Hån is closer to completion, Hån was sold in August from Cloudberry Development to Cloudberry Production for an enterprise value of EUR 58 million (EUR 2.8 million/MW, EUR 790/MWh). The enterprise value is calculated by the third party Newsec Infra based on a discounted cash flow model (Equity IRR 7-8%) and comparable transactions in 2022. Compared to the estimated construction costs, the enterprise value as calculated by Newsec Infra will show a value creation of NOK 8-10 million per MW in Q3 2022 for Cloudberry Develop. Due to Hån's favorable characteristics Newsec estimates that
the value creation is significantly higher than the Cloudberry estimates of NOK 1-3 million per MW.

1 Asset portfolio per reporting date 18 August 2022 with proportionate ownership to Cloudberry (not including backlog).
2 Project capacity 20 - 40 MW pending final development and turbine selection.
3 Based on binding-term sheet with Hafslund AS signed July 2022 (sale of 50% of project).
Cloudberry reports its operations in four segments, Production, Development, Operations and Corporate. Operations was established with the acquisition of Captiva in January 2022.
The focus during second quarter has been the acquisition of the hydropower plants Bøen Kraft I & II, establishing a scalable and efficient operational platform for wind power assets, in addition to following up projects under construction.
Cloudberry's mid- to long term 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 the wind power plants Hån and Odal Vind will add significant volumes and balance out the expected seasonal variations from the hydropower plants, and 2023 production is expected to have a more balanced profile throughout the year.
Cloudberry's proportionate power production in the second quarter of 2022 totaled 74 GWh compared to 27 GWh during the same quarter last year. The significant growth can be primarily explained by inclusion of new power plants.
Hydro power production totaled 67 GWh in the second quarter 2022. The second quarter is normally the quarter with the highest production in run of river plants due to the snow melting from the mountains. Precipitation was lower in the southern part of Norway, whilst northern parts of Norway had precipitation above normal levels. All hydropower plants have been operating stable.
Wind power production totaled 7 GWh in second quarter which mainly compromised of initial ramp-up production from Odal Vind in addition to stable production from Røyrmyra. Wind power production is expected to increase significantly going forward in relation to continuous ramp-up of Odal Vind during 2H 2022, and the ramp-up of Hån following completion later this year.
profile over the year. Normal annual production is expected to be ~17 GWh. In addition to the operating plants, a third license application is to be filed during the second half of 2022. If successful Bøen III will be built which is a hydro power plant with a natural reservoir with an expected annual production of 5 GWh.
· A concession to regulate Selsvatnet, the lake upstream Selselva Kraft, was sent during second quarter. If approved production is expected to increase with approximately 10%, and the excepted realized power price is expected to improve due to added reservoir capacity. Feedback on the concession is expected to be received within 24 months.
Cloudberry realized an average power price of NOK 1.01 per kWh during the second quarter of 2022
compared to NOK 1.02 per KWh in the first quarter of 2022. Lower-than-normal levels of water in the reservoirs and snow in the mountains in the South of Norway in combination with increased coal and gas prices has driven prices in these areas up to very high levels (NO 1,2 and 5). Prices in Northern Norway stayed at low levels (NO 3 and 4) due to production oversupply and bottlenecks in the grid. Cloudberry will have a larger proportion of production in the southern high price areas going forward as Odal and Hån production is ramped up.
99% of Cloudberry's production in second quarter of the year was at merchant pricing (spot price). The deviation from the 100% merchant exposure in previous quarters is due to the newly acquired Bøen Kraft which has a PPA in place of 8 GWh that expires 31.12.2024.
Cloudberry's development team has been strengthened by both senior project development and senior project execution. Also, with Captiva, integrated teams in project development and execution has increased the capabilities even further. A new office was opened in Kungsbacka, south of Gothenburg. The main activities have been focused on growing the portfolio and executing on the ongoing permission processes, the pre-construction and construction projects.
· Stenkalles (project Vänern). Integrated technical and commercial planning for realizing the wind farm at Stenkalles grund, located in Sweden's largest lake, Vänern, has continued at high speed and focus. Cloudberry's offshore team is working closely with the project team from the Dutch company, Ventolines to optimize the project and further reduce risk. Ventolines recently completed a very comparable 383 MW shallow-water project in Lake Fryslan, the Netherlands (https://www.windparkfryslan.nl).https://www.windparkfryslan.nl).
The project's main activities have been contractual discussions with main suppliers, defining the appropriate scopes and interfaces to further reduce risk in the project.
Subsequent to the quarter, Cloudberry entered into a binding term-sheet for the sale of 50% of the project to Hafslund. The sale will create a joint venture for the Stenkalles project capitalizing on the strength of both parties to improve the total economics and enable the project in a risk effective manner. The transaction is expected to close in September 2022.
Hafslund is Norway's second largest power generator, owned by the City of Oslo, and with more than hundred years of electrical innovation and operation ( ~18 TWh in production). The company operates only renewable energy and has a vision of a world in balance, with renewables. Hafslund has an experienced organization, a strong balance sheet and operational know. The parties will work together towards a final investment decision later this year. The final consideration for the early development will be split in two; one up -front payment (~NOK 1 million per MW) and an additional consideration based upon the success of the project at commercial operating date ("COD"). The closing of the Transaction is subject to agreement of final transaction documents and a confirmatory due diligence to be carried out by Hafslund.
· The final development of Project Kafjärden, Duvhällen and project Munkhyttan is under way with integrated teams from Cloudberry and Captiva increasing the pace of the activities in the current pre-construction phase. All projects are located in the attractive SE3 region in Sweden.

Cloudberry has an exclusive backlog of 15 projects and 420 MW at reporting date (370 MW last year). Cloudberry has a strong internal push to increase the number of well anchored projects with local stakeholders. Cloudberry has the local knowledge and a strong local network to act on the possibilities.
Two lease agreements were signed with owners of waterfalls to start the development of new hydropower plants. The two projects are expected to have a total installed capacity of 30-35 MW. If approved and built, the expected annual production will be approximately 100 GWh. Currently the concession applications are being prepared and expected to
Operations
The segment Operations 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 (the remaining 40% is owned by the previous sellers). Captiva has organized its business into management services and digital solutions.
be filed during 2022. Cloudberry has also removed one Norwegian wind project from the backlog (30 MW) and decided to focus on a nearby project with higher probability of obtaining a construction license.
In addition to the onshore activities, Cloudberry has a long-term goal to have a shallow-water project potfolio of > 2 500 MW in the Baltic Sea by 2030 based on the experiences the company is gaining at Stenkalles wind farm (Vänern). Early phase offshore development and pre-studies are being performed at multiple sites as well as dialogues with local authorities, local industry and other stakeholders to evaluate which sites are most suitable for further development.
allocated purchase from the Cloudberry acquisition of Captiva in January 2022. The EBIT effect of the transaction is expected to be NOK 4.5 million.
· In June the Financial Supervisory Authority of Norway approved Cloudberry's prospectus in relation to the private placement in December 2021. The updated prospectus is available at www.cloudberry.no.
· New grant for the research project called TYDE. science. The project aims to develop new digital tools for increasing renewable energy production from unregulated hydro plants together with both academic and industrial resources in Norway. A cooperation with NTNU and SINTEF is established, and the project was granted a funding package of NOK 5 million over 3 years from the Research Council of Norway (Forskningsrådet). The TYDE. science project is expected to start 2nd half of 2022.
Cloudberry is well positioned for continued strong growth and has become a leading player in the Nordic region. In the second quarter of 2022, we have further developed our assets under construction and our development pipeline. We are pleased that we have moved the Odal (160 MW) and Hån (21 MW) wind projects from development projects into construction and production phase in a difficult market due to Covid-19 and supply chain constrains. We are also pleased that we expanded our portfolio with new greenfield hydro projects.
Inflation, supply chain and rising interest rates are key topics that are affecting the global economy at present, and these er significant items that are, and will continue to be, closely monitored by the management and the board of directors with appropriate risk reducing actions for Cloudberry.
From our on- and offshore wind development teams in Sweden we see strong growth in priority regions with several projects in procurement phase. We are also pleased to see that the onshore wind market in Norway is opening up and we have several interesting projects in Norway on the wind side.
The power market continues to look strong with high spot prices and higher 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. As our portfolio scales, we will evaluate PPA hedging to balance our portfolio on the back of the PPA prices having come up over the last year.
During second quarter 2022 no incidents causing harm to peoples health or serious material damages were recorded. One near miss was reported when a rock rolled down a slope at a construction site. The cause of the incident was thoroughly assessed. Corrective measures have been implemented to reduce the risk of similar incidents in the future. There were no whistleblowing reports and zero reported or confirmed incidents of corruption. In Cloudberrys annual report the Company reports on its carbon emissions in line with the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Protocol. Cloudberry aims to report carbon emissions on a quarterly basis from Q1 2023. Cloudberry has determined to be net-zero by 2040.
At Øvre Kvemma (20 GWh), a construction site for a hydropower plant that Cloudberry has a firm agreement of buying upon completion, an unintended discharge of sludge was reported in July. Currently there are no documented adverse effect on the environmental surroundings, but investigations are ongoing. Cloudberry actively engage with the current owner of the project to ensure learning and reduce risk of similar incidents in the future.
Cloudberry has taken steps to alignment with new Norwegian Transparency Act which came into force on 1 July 2022. The Act relates to enterprises' transparency and work on fundamental human rights and decent working conditions. In June 2022, Cloudberry engaged a third party and conducted a due diligence assessment in accordance with the requirements of the Transparency Act. The assessment was conducted through a supervised workshop where the management and key employees with an insight into relevant value chains and processes, conducted the actual due diligence in accordance with the guidelines. The work with the Transparency Act is published on the Cloudberry website. The due diligence assessments will be reported in accordance with the guidelines of the Act by 30 June 2023.
One hundred per cent of Cloudberry`s turnover, operating expenses, and investments within the Production and Development segments are EU Taxonomy eligible. The Operations segment will be included from 2023. Third-party assessments to evaluate alignment with the technical screening criteria in the EU Taxonomy Regulation is ongoing. Cloudberry is prepared to report in accordance with the EU Taxonomy requirements on its hydro- and wind energy assets and will strive to ensure that the activities meet the criteria by the end of 2022.
Cloudberry has reached net-zero emissions in its own operations (scope 1 and 2). Scope 3 calculation will be completed to identify the material categories to report on in alignment with the GHG Protocol. The screening and identification of material categories in the value chain is an ongoing process.
As an example of Cloudberry's continuous efforts to make positive local contribution, a road built along the cable route at Hån windfarm, has been adapted for bicycle use. The road was originally constructed to facilitate use of the landowners' vehicles. The amendment has propagated frequent use by people in the area. The initiative reflects the Company´s intension to understand and interact with the local communities, towards both the inhabitants and the private sector.
Consolidated and proportionate EBITDA for the second quarter were NOK 32m and NOK 37m respectively compared with NOK -12m and NOK -10m in same quarter last year.
Increased revenues consolidated and proportionate, from increased production volumes and higher realized power prices compared with same quarter last year.
Net income from associated companies was NOK 10m in second quarter (NOK 5m same quarter 2021), NOK 11m from Forte and NOK -1m from Odal respectively.
Net finance was positive with NOK 6m mainly due to currency gain on internal group borrowings in foreign currency.
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 cash position and has no net debt.
The company expects to have more than 140 MW in production by year end 2022 and is currently financed for more than 270 MW (290 MW previously). While up front investments have increased as a result of an increase in project related costs (commodity prices, transport costs), the estimated project economics (equity IRR) remains higher due to improved power prices.

In line with Cloudberry's growth strategy some investments are 100% owned and fully consolidated, while in some larger projects, Cloudberry prefer a proportionate ownership between 20% - 50%, or there is a non-controlling interest if the ownership is between 50%-100% for consolidated subsidiaries. Therefore, in addition to the Group consolidated financials, Cloudberry reports the segment reporting on proportionate financials. Proportionate financials reflect the internal management reporting and represent important KPIs that support the strategy.
Proportionate Financials represent Cloudberry's proportionate share of the financials which are not fully consolidated or excluding the non-controlling interest of subsidiaries held less than 100%. Please refer to the chapter Alternative Performance Measures (APM) for definitions and reconciliations.

Cloudberry Clean Energy ASA ("Cloudberry"), its subsidiaries and investments in associated companies ("the Group") is a Nordic renewable power producer, manager 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 second quarter and first half of 2022 were authorized by the Board of Directors for issue on 17 August 2022.
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.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for derivative financial instruments, financial assets and financial liabilities that are recognized at fair value. Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given when acquiring assets and services.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the use of certain accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Group's
accounting policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income, and expenses.
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.
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 recognised in the consolidated accounts using the equity method and presented as non-current assets.
Under the equity method of accounting, the investments are initially recognised 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, are recognised as a reduction of the carrying amount of the investment.
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 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 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.
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
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.
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.
Government grants are conditional to own generation of power from certain technologies. This includes el-certificates and guarantees of origin (GoO). The right to receive the grants are obtained at the time of generation. When the el-certificates and GoO are granted, they are measured at cost and classified as other income and inventory. Upon subsequent sales, the sales price is recognized within sales revenues.
The Group's inventories consist of development projects and government grants of el-certificates and guarantees of origin (GoO). Inventories are accounted for in accordance with IAS 2 Inventories. According to IAS 2 inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value.
Development projects are part of the Development business segment and projects can be sold early or late stage in the process to be a ready to construct or finished and producing hydro or wind power plant. Projects can be sold in-house or external. If a project is ready to build, and the Group makes the final investment decision (FID), the project will be reclassified from inventory to property plant and equipment and power plant under construction.
Government grants of el-certificates and GoO are at granting measured and recognized at cost to inventory. Cost of government grants is zero.
For further information about the Group's applied accounting policies and principles please refer to the annual report for 2021.
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. Management provides this because these measures are used internally for key performance measures (KPIs). These measures represent the most important KPI's to support decision making for achieving the Group's strategic goals.
Proportionate financials are further defined and described below under Proportionate financials and in the APM section of this report.
Production owns long-term yielding hydro and wind assets in Norway and Sweden. Revenues come mostly from power production sold on a continuous basis through bilateral agreements or through the spot market, Nord Pool. Producing assets are entitled to electricity certificates and guarantees of origin. Producing assets are remotely controlled from operational centres and Cloudberry has operational agreements with local partners.
Production is also the local manager and delivers management services to the Forte portfolio.
By end of second quarter Production had a producing portfolio of 69 MW and a secured portfolio under construction of 87 MW.
Development has a significant on- and offshore development portfolio with renewable assets in Sweden and Norway. Development is responsible for development of hydro and wind power assets from early stage until the projects receive construction permits. Going forward Cloudberry has the option to
either sell or maintain in-house projects for long-term cash flow. Larger projects may be farmed down in order to diversify risk.
Development has a portfolio with construction permits of 168 MW and a backlog of 420 MW per reporting date. The company has ongoing dialogue with landowners, municipalities and grid companies to clarify opportunities for new wind power projects.
The newly established business segment Operations 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 (the remaining 40% is owned by the working partners in Captiva). Captiva has organized its business into management services and digital solutions.
Corporate consists of the activities of corporate services, management, and group finance. Corporate consists mainly of Cloudberry Clean Energy ASA, the parent company accounts. Costs which are by nature related to the segments are allocated to the respective business segment. Allocated costs are mostly salaries for employees related to Production and Development that are employed in Cloudberry Clean Energy ASA
Per end of second quarter, there were six employees in the Corporate segment. The Group has outsourced several services in connection with Oslo Børs listing, financing and due diligence processes. The corporate management aims to remain a cost-effective, agile and dynamic team.
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:
· 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.
Please refer to the section Alternative Performance Measure for definitions and further reconciliations to the Group IFRS reported figures.
The tables below show the proportionate segment reporting for the respective periods Q2 2022, Q2 2021, YTD 2022, YTD 2021 and FY 2021:

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 and tax situation. 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. |

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.

| 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. |
