The team is headed by the ESG Director, who forms part of the Executive Management Team reporting directly to the Board of Directors of AFK.

Following the materiality analysis, climate risk analysis, and improved governance and reporting structures, all conducted in 2020, several improvements have been achieved. However, the overall target is to integrate ESG in our daily operating model, both for AFK and our port folio companies.

The AFK group of companies continues the solid operational performance delivering a consolidated top-line growth of 72% and operating profit growth of 94% year-on-year in the third quarter.

Based on a successful turnaround in 2020, EFD Induction reports solid top-line growth and strong operating profits for the fourth consecutive quarter.

OUTLOOK

In light of the market's estimated power price trend for 2021, revenues and operating profit for AFK Hydropower are expected to be considerably higher in 2021 than in 2020.

Following high activity levels in all portfolio companies, 2021 revenues and earnings for AFK as a whole are expected to be better than in 2020.

As the AFK portfolio companies are positioned within attractive mega trends, AFK expects continued growth in 2022. Electricity prices are expected to remain at a high level. AFK expects no significant income from property development next year.

Due to the ongoing pandemic, there is a higher degree of uncertainty asociated with the 2021/2022 outlook.

HIGHLIGHTS OF Q3 2021

Production in the quarter was around normal levels. Although precipitation in the period was lower than normal, operational pressure remained high due to the high prices in the spot market. Electricity prices in southern Norway rose in the third quarter due to strong prices for coal, gas and CO2, lifting the European prices. This together with the NO2 price area facing a strong deficit in hydro reservoir levels due to low inflow and stronger export to the UK after commissioning of a new North Sea Link, trigger relatively strong connection to the high European prices. The plants had some interruptions due to planned maintenance and inspections during this quarter.

Power generation in the third quarter amounted to 83,6 GWh (52,5 GWh). The average spot price in the NO2 price area was NOK 0.807/kWh (NOK 0.052/kWh). AFK has a defined strategy of selling hydropower production in the day-ahead (spot) market. Precipitation and inflow in the first nine months of 2021 was respectively around 88% and 77% of the norm for the watercourse.

The order intake remains strong for the company with the order intake continuing to improve towards pre-covid levels in the third quarter.

Operating profit improved in the quarter, mainly due to increased activity and reduced costs. A change in practice for IFRS-accounting principles related to implementation of cloud-based software solutions led to a one-time negative effect on operating profit of NOK3 million in the quarter.

AFK Green Energy Development

OFFSHORE WIND

Arendals Fossekompani and Ferd, two of Norway's leading industrial investment companies, have come together to establish the offshore wind company Seagust, which intends to apply for offshore wind acreage in Norway's upcoming licensing round. Seagust is structured as a 50:50 joint venture between AFK and Ferd, with a mandate to become an offshore wind developer with operations domestically and internationally.

AMMONIA

Arendals Fossekompani and Grieg Maritime Group have joined forces to create a world-leading provider of green ammonia. The company is dedicated to developing the next generation green fuels for shipping and transportation. The company builds on extensive first-hand experience: Grieg Maritime Group has more than 60 years of experience in shipping. Arendals Fossekompani has 125 years of experience in industrial developments and green power production.

STORAGE

Energy storage for grid operators, renewable producers and industrials will be in demand during and following the green transition. Smart storage is an enabler for renewables, as it solves problems of volatility and intermittency. The concept has numerous links to Volue, Tekna, Beyonder and EFD Induction.

TRADING

Volatility creates intraday high-speed algo-based opportunities. The storage concept will enable AFK and partners to trade short-term on stored energy. Trading will be done through a to-be established platforn, leveraging Volue components, hence showcasing Volue capabilities.

SOLAR ENERGY

Norsun is a Norwegian solar energy company that manufactures and markets high performance mono-crystalline silicon ingots and wafers for the global solar energy industry. Dedicated to high efficiency n-type wafers, the company is an established supplier to tier-one cell manufacturers. NorSun was established in 2005 by Alf Bjørseth, the well-known founder of REC. A year later, Arendals Fossekompani took an active position in NorSun. Today, AFK holds a 15.7 per cent stake in the company.

BATTERIES

Beyonder, founded in 2016, develops batteries with high power, fast charging and long lifetime for industry and commercial infrastructure. Utilizing super activated carbon made from residual sawdust from the Norwegian forestry industry, Beyonder aims to produce battery cells for tomorrow´s green infrastructure. AFK has a 3.9 per cent stake in Beyonder, joining investors such as Equinor Technology Invest, DSD Investering, and Must Invest.

AFK Green Energy Development comprises development of sustainable energy solutions, such as offshore wind, ammonia, storage, trading, solar energy, and batteries.

AFK Property

AFK has various property investments, mainly in the Arendal area. Vindholmen Eiendom AS represents the largest development project, in which the former Vindholmen wharf is being developed for combined residential and commercial use under the name Bryggebyen.

The first two phases of the Bryggebyen real estate development project were finalized in September. Apartment sales have been very good with 111 of 113 apartments sold as per end-October.

As per 30 September, 98 apartments had been delivered to the buyers, resulting in AFK Property having booked the corresponding sales value of NOK 428 million in the quarter. The sales value of the additional apartments sold will be booked in the fourth quarter.

To satisfy the market AFK made the decision in October to initiate phase 3 of the project, adding a further 49 apartments.

AFK Property is the majority owner of this property which comprises an airport as well as an area of 200,000 sqm. The main user of the airport facility is OSM Aviation Academy, which runs a pilot school at the premises. Future plans include establishing a center for drones as well as a hub for electrified aviation.

Gullknapp is located about 15 km north of Arendal. Due to the size of the property, its vicinity to the E18 highway and Arendal Port, and near access to the power grid of both DSO and TSO, it has a huge potential as a future site for battery production, data center and other power-intensive activities and industry. Power levels of several 100 MW are available from the nearby grid.

The commercial property Bedriftsveien 17 has been part of AFK since 2015. The 3,500 sqm building has been completely refurbished and is now fully let to Scanmatic AS on a 25-year bare-house agreement.

Bedriftsveien 17 is located in the middle of the emerging commercial area Krøgenes, 3 km east of down-town Arendal. The area has grown in attractiveness with a new feed-in road to the new E18 highway recently completed.

This property, located along the Skien River, just one kilometer south of downtown Skien, was acquired in 2020. The 4,700 sqm building is fully let to EFD Induction on a 15-year bare-house agreement. As the city of Skien expands, this 12,000 sqm river

property will be attractive both for commercial and residential

development.

Shares and shareholders

Following the share split on 20 November 2020, with each share in AFK being split into 25 shares, there are now a total of 55,995,250 shares in the company.

Outlook

In light of the market's estimated power price trend for 2021, revenues and operating profit for AFK Hydropower are expec ted to be considerably higher in 2021 than in 2020.

Following high activity levels in all portfolio companies, 2021 revenues and earnings for AFK as a whole are expected to be better than in 2020.

As the AFK portfolio companies are positioned within attractive mega trends, AFK expects continued growth in 2022. Electri city prices are expected to remain at a high level. AFK expects no significant income from property development next year.

Due to the ongoing pandemic, there is a higher degree of uncertainty asociated with the 2021/2022 outlook.

AFK HYDROPOWER

In view of the market's estimated energy price trend for 2021, revenues and operating profit for AFK Hydropower are expected to be considerably higher in 2021 than in 2020. Actual energy prices will however depend on many factors, including oil and gas prices, weather conditions, temperatures etc.

VOLUE

Having successfully defended against the cyber attack, Volue expects higher revenues in 2021 than in 2020 with overall good operational performance.

TEKNA

Adjusted for extraordinary items in 2020, Tekna's revenues and operating profit in 2021 are expected to be higher than in 2020.

NSSLGLOBAL

NSSLGlobal expects 2021 revenues to be in line with 2020, while operating profit is expected to weaken due to a contract in 2020 that had particularly good margins.

EFD INDUCTION

Adjusted for income from a property sale in 2020, EFD Induction's revenues and operating profit in 2021 are expected to be higher than in 2020. .

The Board of Directors emphasises that significant uncertainty is associated with assessments of future circumstances and that the Covid-19 pandemic gives rise to particularly great uncertainty.
