Copyright: Scatec Solar ASA www.scatecsolar.com • [email protected] (*) Cash flow to equity is defined as EBITDA less normalised (i.e. average over each calendar year) loan and net interest repayments, less normalised income tax payments. The definition implies changes in net working capital and investing activities are excluded from the figure.

Eliminated D&C margins affect book equity

  • Margins created through Development & Construction of power plants are eliminated in consolidated financial statement
  • Elimination booked against PP&E in consolidated financial statements

Leads to:

  • A negative effect on consolidated equity short term as corresponding non-recourse finance is included at full value
  • Improves consolidated net profit over time through reduced depreciation

Build up of PP&E as per 31.12.2016 ( NOKm)
