Scatec ASA Fourth quarter 2024
In the quarter, we achieved good progress with strong financial performance across segments. Construction activities are accelerating and we reduced our net corporate debt based on significant cash flow from our operating assets and proceeds from asset sales. We are also well positioned for further profitable growth in 2025 based on a growing and maturing backlog.
In the fourth quarter, our revenues reached NOK 2.7 billion and EBITDA NOK 1.4 billion. We continued to deliver a D&C margin of 12% and expanded our construction portfolio. We began constructing a 103 MW battery storage project in South Africa, a 142 MW solar plant in Brazil and started phase two of a 120 MW solar portfolio in Botswana. This demonstrates our ability to move projects forward in our integrated business model. We now have 767 MW in construction across five different countries.
We remain committed to strengthen our financial position based on divestments of non-core assets and deleveraging the corporate debt and successfully completed the farm-down of Kalkbult, Linde, and Dreunberg in South Africa in the quarter. Furthermore, we are contemplating issuance of a new corporate green bond to repay existing outstanding EUR bonds, extending our debt maturity profile and enhancing our financial flexibility.
2025 arrives with continued high levels of unpredictability in terms of the global geopolitical landscape. Despite these challenges, our core markets remain resilient, and we see continued attractive growth opportunities. Renewable energy is fundamentally the most competitive source of new electricity generation in our target markets, and the growth in electricity demand is a strong global trend.
We have built a solid foundation for further growth with a growing backlog of projects set for construction start over the next 12 months. We were awarded a 288 MW solar project in South Africa at the end of 2024 and recently signed a 15-year Contract for Difference (CfD) in Romania. Based on the CfD we will enter the growing Romanian market with a 190 MW solar facility. Our near-term growth portfolio of projects under construction and in backlog now stands at 2.7 GW representing a capacity increase of 64% to 6.9 GW once realized.
We began this year by participating in the Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week and were honoured to be among the few private sector entities invited to the Africa Heads of State Energy Summit, organised by the African Development Bank, the World Bank, and the Rockefeller Foundation. These meeting arenas are key to drive collaborative efforts between investors, development institutions, and companies in the energy sector to address the funding needs for electrification and the green transition in Africa. Scatec and our Release subsidiary continue to see strong engagement from governments across our markets, and our financing partners, to accelerate the growth of renewables.

Our achievements reflect the dedication and hard work of our team, and I am proud of the progress we are doing in delivering on our purpose, Improving Our Future. As we look to the future, we remain committed to driving innovation, sustainability, and profitable growth, ensuring that we achieve our long-term objectives and create lasting positive impacts across our markets.
Thank you for your ongoing support. I look forward to a successful 2025 alongside you and our partners.

Development & Construction expected to continue delivering strong margins of 10-12%, with high construction activities
In the Philippines, EBITDA for the first quarter 2025 is estimated at NOK 170-230 million based on normal hydrology and power market prices in line with the fourth quarter in 2024.
The full-year 2025 proportionate EBITDA mid-point estimate is NOK 3.9 billion. This estimate reflects P50-production for all assets, estimated contribution from the projects under construction in South Africa, Botswana and Tunisia, and estimated contribution from the power plants in Uganda and Vietnam, which are held for sale, until the end of the first quarter 2025. Potential accounting gains generated from divestment of assets are not included in the estimate. The prices awarded in 2023 under the long-term ancillary services contracts in the Philippines are expected to be approved in 2025, with retrospective settlement from the third quarter 2023 when the new contracts became valid. The unsettled amount was approximately NOK 160 million at the end of the fourth quarter.
Full year power production guidance is estimated at 4,100-4,500 GWh on a proportionate basis. First quarter 2025 power production is estimated at 900-1,000 GWh on a proportionate basis.
On the date of reporting the value of the remaining construction contracts was approximately NOK 3.4 billion related to the 273 MW Grootfontein, 103 MW Mogobe BESS project in South Africa, 120 MW Mmadinare Solar Complex in Botswana, 120 MW Sidi Bouzid and Tozeur solar projects in Tunisia, and 142 MW Urucuia in Brazil.
D&C revenues and margins are dependent on progress on development and construction projects. The above-mentioned projects commenced construction in the quarter, and the percentage of completion is expected to increase next quarter according to planned progress following an S-curve.
The estimated average D&C gross margin for projects currently under construction is 10-12%.
The full-year 2025 EBITDA for Corporate is estimated to be between NOK -115 million and NOK -125 million.
All figures related to estimated performance are based on the Company's current assumptions and are subject to change. Additional attention is given to the hydro operations in the Philippines based on its large share of EBITDA for the Group, strong seasonality and exposure to fluctuations in the spot market. EBITDA estimates are based on currency rates as of the end of the fourth quarter 2024.

Revenues of NOK 897 million in the quarter are in line with last year. Contributions from new projects in operation were offset by a reduction in revenues following a partial divestment of Kalkbult, Linde and Dreunberg in South Africa. Scatec holds an economic interest of approximately 13% in Kalkbult and 12% in Linde and Dreunberg following the divestment at November 20, and the projects are accounted for as investments in JV and associated companies from the end of the third quarter this year.
For the financial year 2024, revenues were NOK 4,368 million compared to 3,399 in 2023. The increase is mainly driven by new projects in operation, partly offset by reduced revenues from divested assets.
Net gain from sale of project assets in the fourth quarter last year relate to the partial divestment of Release and Mocuba. The net gain from sale of project assets for the full year of NOK 1,491 million relates to the partial sale of the assets in South Africa, while last year also included a gain from the sale of Upington in South Africa.
Net income from joint ventures (JVs) and associated companies increased to NOK 256 million (186) in the quarter mainly driven by the positive effects from the Philippines as described on page 5 and the inclusion of Kalkbult, Linde and Dreunberg, as associated companies.
Operating expenses increased by NOK 61 million mainly driven by new plants in operation partially offset by divested assets. For the financial year, operating expenses are at the same level as last year. Depreciation, amortisation and impairment for the quarter was NOK 295 million (246). The increase is explained by new plants in operation, partly offset by depreciation for divested consolidated entities. For the financial year 2024, depreciation, amortisation and impairment have increased by NOK 352 million driven by changes in the portfolio and impairment charges of NOK 146 million. Refer to note 4 Property, plant and equipment for further details.
Net financial expenses were negative NOK 623 million (-632). Interest costs on non-recourse debt have increased compared to the same quarter last year driven by new plants in operation, partially offset by divestments and movements in FX.
The Group recognised a tax benefit of NOK 1 million (253) in the quarter and NOK 22 million (114) for the year. See Note 3 Income tax expense for further information.
Net profit for the quarter was negative NOK 101 million (724). Net profit for the financial year was positive NOK 1,486 million (1,122). Net profit for the financial year 2024 excluding the gain from sale of assets was negative NOK 5 million compared to negative NOK 154 million in 2023.
Profit attributable to Scatec was negative NOK 141 million (445). The allocation of profits between non-controlling interests (NCI) and Scatec is impacted by the fact that NCI only represents shareholdings in the power plants that are fully consolidated, while
Scatec also carries the cost of project development, construction, operation & maintenance and corporate functions. Profits allocated to NCI neither include net income from JVs nor associated companies, or gain/loss from sale of project assets.

Free cash at Group level is Scatec's share of available cash in the recourse group, defined as all entities in the Group excluding renewable energy companies, namely power plant companies, and joint venture and associated companies.
Cash flow from operations was positive NOK 1,443 million (-742) in the quarter mainly explained by high distributions from power plant companies, including refinancing in the Philippines of NOK 154 million, and working capital changes related to construction activities in South Africa and Tunisia.
Cash flow from investments was positive NOK 185 million (-545) in the quarter driven by proceeds from partial divestment of Linde, Dreunberg and Kalkbult plants in South Africa of NOK 523 million, partially offset by equity injections in projects under development and projects under construction in Botswana and Brazil.
Cash flows from financing was negative NOK 972 million (303) as the revolving credit facility of USD 72 million (NOK 804 million) was fully repaid in the quarter.
Free cash as of 31 December 2024 was NOK 1,619 million and available undrawn credit facilities was NOK 2,100 million. In total, the Group had NOK 3,719 million in available liquidity.

2) The figure includes the actual annual production for all renewable power projects where Scatec has operational control.
3) As per the WRI Aqueduct Water Risk Atlas, Scatec reports on water withdrawal for projects located within water-stressed areas in South Africa and Jordan.
4) The threshold for water withdrawal in South Africa is 68 mill litres per annum. There is no threshold for Jordan.
5) Strategic suppliers are potential and contracted suppliers of key component categories, including solar modules, batteries, wind turbines, inverters and substructures.
New projects in Brazil and South Africa were subject to E&S desktop screening, due diligences and impact assessments during third quarter. These new projects are Category B projects according to the IFC Performance Standards, with potential limited adverse E&S impact.
In fourth quarter 2024, 0.74 million tonnes of GHG emissions were avoided for projects where Scatec has operational control. On a 100% basis, for all projects where Scatec has an ownership stake, 1.37 mill tonnes of GHG emissions were avoided.
The total water withdrawal amounted to 2.9 million litres in fourth quarter 2024.
At the end of fourth quarter 2024, 33% of leaders in the Company were female, exceeding the target set for the year. The Company's strong diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging (DEIB) initiatives, including a high focus on the recruitment and internal promotions of female leaders, contributed to this achievement.
During the quarter, close to 7.2 million hours were worked with no fatalities or serious injuries (12 months rolling). The lost time incident frequency rate (LTIF) for fourth quarter 2024 was 0.4 per million working hours, significantly lower than same quarter last year.
During the quarter, six whistleblowing reports were received that related to the workplace environment, conflicts of interest and alleged fraud. All reports are investigated according to the Company's procedures and five were subsequently closed.
Scatec engages its strategic suppliers through tailored ESG workshops on an annual basis. The various topics include areas such as human rights, traceability, climate and emissions. During fourth quarter, workshops were held with one module supplier as well as two battery storage and three tracker suppliers.

Scatec ASA is incorporated and domiciled in Norway. The address of its registered office is Askekroken 11, NO-0277 Oslo, Norway. Scatec ASA was established on 2 February 2007. Scatec ASA ("the Company"), its subsidiaries and investments in associated companies ("the Group" or "Scatec") is a leading renewable energy solutions provider, accelerating access to reliable and affordable clean energy emerging markets. As a long-term player, Scatec develops, builds, owns, and operates renewable energy plants.
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with recognition, measurement, and presentation principles consistent with Standard ("IAS") 34 Interim Financial Reporting as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) adopted by the European Union (EU). These condensed interim consolidated financial statements are unaudited.
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements are condensed and do not include all of the information and notes required by IFRS® Accounting Standards as adopted by the EU for a complete set of consolidated financial statements. These condensed interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements. The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements are consistent with those
followed in the preparation of the Group's annual consolidated financial statements for 2023.
The functional currency of the companies in the Group is determined based on the nature of the primary economic environment in which each company operates. The presentation currency of the Group is Norwegian kroner (NOK). All amounts are presented in NOK million unless otherwise stated. As a result of rounding adjustments, the figures in some columns may not add up to the total of that column.
In the preparation of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS, management has made estimates and assumptions and applied judgements, that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis, considering the current and expected future market conditions. Changes in accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimates are revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
In the process of applying the Group's accounting policies, management makes judgements of which the following have the most
significant effect on the amounts recognised in the condensed interim financial statements.
Scatec's value chain comprises all downstream activities such as project development, financing, construction and operations, as well as having an asset management role through ownership of the power plants. Normally Scatec enters into partnerships for the shareholding of the power plant companies. To be able to fully utilise the business model, Scatec normally seeks to obtain operational control of the power plant companies. Operational control is obtained through governing bodies, shareholder agreements and other contractual arrangements. Other contractual arrangements may include Scatec's role as the developer of the project, EPC provider (construction), operation and maintenance service provider and asset management service provider.
When assessing whether Scatec controls a power plant company, the Group's roles and activities are analysed in line with the requirements and definitions in IFRS 10. Refer to note 2 of the 2023 Annual Report for further information on judgements, including control assessments made in previous years.
Interim period results are not necessarily indicative of results of operations or cash flows for an annual period. The Group's operating results are impacted by external factors, such as seasonal variations and weather conditions.
Operating segments align with internal management reporting to the Group's chief operating decision makers, defined as the Group management team. The operating segments are determined based on differences in the nature of their operations, products and services. Scatec manages its operations in three segments: Power Production (PP), Development & Construction (D&C) and Corporate.
The segment financials are reported on a proportionate basis. With proportionate financials Scatec reports its share of revenues, expenses, profits and cash flows from all its subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures without eliminations based on Scatec's economic interest in the subsidiaries. The Group introduced proportionate financials as the Group is of the opinion that this method improves earnings visibility.
Proportionate financials are further described in the APM section of this report.
The Group has reorganised its segment structure and the Service segment is reported as part of the Power Production segment, effective from 1 January 2024. Comparable periods have been restated accordingly.

The Group recognised a tax benefit of NOK 1 million in the fourth quarter compared to a tax benefit of NOK 253 million in the same quarter prior year. The tax benefit recognised in previous year is attributable to Kenhardt which qualified for the Enhanced renewable energy tax incentive after reaching their Commercial Operating dates in November and December 2023. The difference between the effective tax expense for the quarter and the calculated tax expense based on the Norwegian tax rate of 22% is driven by the differences in tax rates between the jurisdictions in which the companies operate, withholding taxes paid on dividends, currency effects and effects from unrecognised tax losses. The profit/loss from JVs and associates are reported net after tax which also impacts the effective tax rate.
The underlying tax rates in the companies in operation are in the range of 0% to 30%. In some markets, Scatec receives special tax incentives intended to promote investments in renewable energy.

The disposals of NOK 1,466 million mainly relate to the partial sale of Linde, Dreunberg and Kalkbult plants during the year. The projects are accounted for as investments in JVs and associated companies per year-end. Further, disposals include contingency release for Kenhardt recognised during the year.
Transfer of assets classified as held for sale relates to the sale of the ownership in Dam Nai Wind power plant.
Transfer between asset classes mainly relates to the plants which started operation in the first quarter.
In the first quarter a settlement was reached leading to an amended PPA agreement in Honduras. The amended PPA included upfront compensation amount combined with a lower PPA tariff, leading to an impairment charged of NOK 81 million. In the third quarter Scatec announced its exit of Vietnam and will divest its operating plant in the country, expecting to recognize an accounting gain of approximately USD 8 million. Following the exit, Scatec impaired NOK 54 million related to development projects in the country. Please refer to Note 8 for further details. In the fourth quarter, an impairment loss of NOK 11 million was recognised in relation to development projects.
The consolidated financial statements include the Group's share of profit/loss from joint ventures and associated companies where the Group has joint control or significant influence, accounted for using the equity method. Under the equity method, the investment is initially recognised at cost and subsequently adjusted for further investments, distributions and the Group's share of the net income from the investment.
In the first quarter of 2024 Alunorte entered the Mendubim project in Brazil with a 10% economic interest and Scatec's ownership share decreased from 33% to 30%. Dividends include refinancing in the Philippines of NOK 170 million in the second quarter and NOK 154 million in the fourth quarter.
On 30 July 2024, Scatec signed an agreement with TotalEnergies to sell its 51% equity share in the African hydropower joint venture with Norfund and British International Investment. The associated balances of the JV investments are presented as held for sale as per 31 December 2024.
In 2024 Scatec partially divested the Kalkbult, Linde and Dreunberg solar power plants, and the power plants are accounted for as joint ventures in Scatec's group accounts as per 31 December 2024.
The Mendubim project in Brazil has entered into a 20 year fixed price PPA with Alunorte starting 1 January 2025 for sale of approximately 60% of the energy for the solar power plant. In 2024, all energy was sold in the merchant market with lower prices compared to the PPA, and Scatec experienced curtailment losses due to grid constraints, affecting the results for 2024. Scatec expects the project financials to improve in 2025.

As a main rule, Scatec uses non-recourse financing for constructing and/or acquiring assets in power plant companies. Compared to corporate financing, non-recourse financing has certain key advantages, including a clearly defined and limited risk profile. In this respect, the banks recover the financing solely through the cash flows generated by the projects financed.
The table shows the non-current non-recourse debt and the current non-recourse debt due within 12 months including accrued interest. The maturity dates for the loans range from 2028 to 2045.

The current non-recourse debt as of 31 December 2024 includes NOK 736 million in non-recourse debt in Ukraine. None of Scatec's power plant companies in Ukraine with non-recourse financing were in compliance with covenants in the loan agreements at the end of the fourth quarter of 2024 and non-recourse debt is presented as current non-recourse project financing. Scatec has continuous and constructive dialogue with the lenders and the parties have agreed on a non-formalised "stand still".
Please refer to the 2023 Annual Report for information related to the construction loan provided by PowerChina Guizhou Engineering Co ("PowerChina") to Scatec for the Progressovska power plant in Ukraine. In 2022, Scatec and PowerChina signed a revised payment plan for the construction loan where part of the loan was paid in 2022 and 2023. The last tranche of EUR 22 million will be paid by mid-2025 and is classified as current other interest-bearing liabilities by the end of the fourth quarter 2024. Scatec ASA has provided a corporate and bank guarantee to PowerChina in support of this obligation.
On September 5, 2024, one of Scatec's power plant entities in Egypt made a USD 20 million draw down on an Equity Bridge loan provided by EBRD relating to the Egypt Green Hydrogen project. Scatec ASA has provided a corporate guarantee for its share in support of the obligation, and it is classified as current other interest-bearing liabilities by the end of the fourth quarter 2024.
Refer to Note 24 Guarantees and commitments in the 2023 Annual Report for further details.
The joint venture in Uganda is subject to a tax investigation by a local tax authority and received tax claims in total amount of NOK 344 million equivalent (at 31 December 2024) on Scatec's proportionate share during the third quarter 2023. The matter is disputed, and the amount is not included in net income from JVs and associated companies for the period. If the claims materialise, the joint venture will claim this through the tariff according to the Power Purchase Agreement. Should this be challenged the JV has certain indemnities under the Power Purchase Agreement with the off-taker. Further, Scatec has certain tax indemnities under the SN Power share purchase agreement with Norfund.
Reference is made to Scatec's previous communication around changes to the PPA in Honduras. In May 2022, a new Energy law came into force as introduced by the new Government of Honduras. On 31 January 2024, a PPA amendment agreement was signed between Scatec's operating entities in Honduras and the off taker ENEE. The agreement included a compensation for production in previous years, 5 years extended PPA period and lower tariff for future periods. Following the settlement agreement the overdue receivables in Honduras are reduced, and as of 31 December 2024 the outstanding balance was NOK 52 million.
The Sukkur project in Pakistan was awarded a "costs plus tariff" by the National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA) in 2020 and the project reached commercial operation in January 2024. The project has a 25-year PPA with the Central Power Purchasing Agency of Pakistan. The revenue is recorded based on a lower reference tariff and is subject to a "tariff true up" after approval of NEPRA. The tariff true up is a routine process for NEPRA projects and is expected to take approx. 18-24 months. Depending on the conclusion of the process, any differential revenue will be recorded in the period in which the approval is granted by the regulator while an unfavorable outcome of the process may negatively impact the economics of the project.
For one of Scatec's pipeline projects in India, Scatec has a signed PPA and there is an ongoing litigation process that may impact the project timeline and economics. Further, there are certain milestone commitments for the PPA and the project if backed by a bank guarantee from Scatec ASA of USD 8 million. By the end of the fourth quarter, the process remains to be concluded on and no provision was made.
On 30 July 2024, Scatec signed an agreement with TotalEnergies to sell its 51% equity share in the African hydropower joint venture with Norfund and British International Investment, in line with the Group's strategy. The sale covers Scatec's indirect interest held through SN Power of the operating 255 MW Bujagali hydropower plant in Uganda, and a development portfolio consisting of the 361 MW Mpatamanga in Malawi, and the 206 MW Ruzizi III. The transaction is subject to conditions and consents being received from stakeholders including lenders and joint venture partners and is scheduled to close within the first half of 2025. The associated balances of the investments in JVs and related holding entities, including part of the goodwill deriving from the acquisition of SN Power, are presented as held for sale as per 31 December 2024.
On 13 September 2024, Scatec signed an agreement to sell the 39 MW Dam Nai Wind farm and the associated operating company in Vietnam to Sustainable Asia Renewable Assets ("SARA"), a utility-scale renewable energy platform of the SUSI Asia Energy Transition Fund ("SAETF"). Scatec will receive an upfront consideration of USD 27 million for its 100% equity share at completion, with potential for additional earn-out payments of up to USD 13 million that are subject to certain conditions being fulfilled prior to May 2026. The transaction is expected to close within the first half of 2025, subject to customary regulatory approvals. The transaction is estimated to generate an accounting gain of USD 8 million on a proportionate and consolidated basis, including a fair value estimate of the contingent consideration. The associated assets and liabilities of the subsidiaries are presented as held for sale as per 31 December 2024.

On 20 November 2024, Scatec closed the second phase of the partial sale for a gross consideration of NOK 265 million for the ownership share sold in the second phase of the transaction. Following the closing of the transaction, Scatec holds an economic interest of approximately 13% in Kalkbult and 12% in Linde and Dreunberg. The second phase of the transaction generated a net gain from sale of project assets of NOK 380 million on a proportionate basis which was recognised in the fourth quarter and no gain on a consolidated basis. The total proceeds for the transaction accounted to NOK 523 million.
In January 2025 the Sukkur project in Pakistan was awarded an interim relief tariff after approval from the National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA). The award includes a compensation amount and a higher interim tariff, which will positively impact the projects financials. The compensation amount will be recorded in the first quarter of 2025 with an impact of approx. NOK 52 million on consolidated basis and NOK 39 million on proportionate basis. As described in Note 7 the tariff true up is a routine process for NEPRA projects and another approval for the final granted tariff is expected within 18-24 months.
We confirm to the best of our knowledge, that the condensed interim financial statement for the period 1 January to 31 December 2024 has been prepared in accordance with IFRS as adopted by EU, and that the information gives a true and fair view of the Group's assets, liabilities, financial position and result for the period. We also confirm to the best of our knowledge, that presented information provides a fair overview of important events that have occurred during the period and their impact on the financial statements, key risk and uncertainty factors that Scatec is facing during the next accounting period.

Scatec discloses alternative performance measures (APMs) in addition to those normally required by IFRS. This is based on the Group's experience that APMs are frequently used by analysts, investors and other parties for supplemental information.
The purpose of APMs is to provide an enhanced insight into the operations, financing and future prospects of the Group. Management also uses these measures internally to drive performance in terms of long-term target setting. APMs are adjusted IFRS measures that are defined, calculated and used in a consistent and transparent manner over the years and across the Group where relevant.
Financial APMs should not be considered as a substitute for measures of performance in accordance with IFRS. Disclosures of APMs are subject to established internal control procedures.
Cash flow to equity: is a measure that seeks to estimate value creation in terms of the Group's ability to generate funds for equity investments in new power plant projects and/or for shareholder dividends over time. Management believes that the cash flow to equity measure provides increased understanding of the Group's ability to create funds from its investments. The measure is defined as EBITDA less net interest expense, normalised loan repayments and normalised income tax payments, plus any proceeds from refinancing. The definition excludes changes in net working capital, investing activities and fair value adjustment of first-time recognition of joint venture investments. Normalised loan repayments are calculated as the annual repayment divided by four quarters for each calendar year. However, loan repayments are normally made
bi-annually. Loan repayments will vary from year to year as the payment plan is based on a sculpted annuity. Net interest expense is here defined as interest income less interest expenses, excluding shareholder loan interest expenses, non-recurring fees, and accretion expenses on asset retirement obligations. Normalised income tax payment is calculated as operating profit (EBIT) less normalised net interest expense multiplied with the nominal tax rate of the jurisdiction where the profit is taxed.
EBITDA: is defined as operating profit adjusted for depreciation, amortisation and impairments.
EBITDA margin: is defined as EBITDA divided by total revenues and other income.
EBITDA and EBITDA margin are used for providing consistent information of operating performance which is comparable to other companies and frequently used by other stakeholders.
Gross profit: is defined as total revenues and other income minus the cost of goods sold (COGS). Gross profit is used to measure project profitability in the D&C segment.
Gross margin: Is defined as gross profit divided by total revenues and other income in the D&C segment.
Gross interest-bearing debt: is defined as the Group's total interest bearing debt obligations except shareholder loan and consists of non-current and current external non-recourse financing, external corporate financing, and other interest-bearing liabilities, irrespective of its maturity as well as bank overdraft.
Net interest-bearing debt (NIBD): is defined as gross interestbearing debt, less cash and cash equivalents.
Net working capital includes trade- and other receivables, other current assets, trade- and other payables, income tax payable and other current liabilities.
Proportionate net-interest bearing debt: is defined as net interest bearing debt based on Scatec's economic interest in the subsidiaries holding the net-interest bearing debt.
Net corporate debt is defined as corporate financing, less proportionate cash and cash equivalent in non-renewable energy companies.
The Group's segment financials are reported on a proportionate basis. The consolidated revenues and profits are mainly generated in the Power Production segment. Activities in Development & Construction segments mainly reflect deliveries to other companies controlled by Scatec, for which revenues and profits are eliminated in the Consolidated Financial Statements. With proportionate financials Scatec reports its share of revenues, expenses, profits and cash flows from all its subsidiaries without eliminations based on Scatec's economic interest in the subsidiaries. The Group introduced Proportionate Financials as the Group is of the opinion that this method improves earnings visibility. The key differences between the proportionate and the consolidated IFRS financials are that;
• Internal gains are eliminated in the consolidated financials but are retained in the proportionate financials. These internal gains primarily relate to gross profit on D&C goods and services
delivered to project companies which are eliminated as a reduced group value of the power plant compared to the standalone book value. Similarly, the consolidated financials have lower power plant depreciation charges than the proportionate financials since the proportionate depreciations are based on power plant values without elimination of internal gain.
See Note 2 for further information on the reporting of proportionate financial figures, including reconciliation of the proportionate financials against the consolidated financials.
A bridge from proportionate to consolidated key figures including APMs like gross interest-bearing debt, net interest-bearing debt and net-working capital is included in Scatec's Q4 historical financial information 2024 published on Scatec's web page.

Backlog Project backlog is defined as projects with a secure offtake agreement assessed to have more than 90% probability of reaching financial close and subsequent realisation.
Pipeline The pipeline projects are in different stages of development and maturity, but they are all typically in markets with an established government framework for renewables and for which project finance is available (from commercial banks or multilateral development banks). The project sites and concessions have been secured and negotiations related to power sales and other project implementation agreements are in various stages of completion.
Project equity Project equity comprises of equity and shareholder loans in power plant companies.
Include dividend on equity injected power plant companies, repayment of shareholder loan and proceeds from refinancing received by recourse group entities.
Recourse Group Recourse Group means all entities in the Group, excluding renewable energy companies (each a recourse group company).
Free cash at Group level Include cash in all entities in the Group, excluding cash held in renewable energy companies.
Financial close (FC): The date on which all conditions precedent for drawdown of debt funding has been achieved and equity funding has been subscribed for, including execution of all project agreements. Notice to proceed for commencement of construction of the power plant will normally be given directly thereafter. Projects in Scatec defined as "backlog" are classified as "under construction" upon achievement of financial close.
Commercial Operation Date (COD): A scheduled date when certain formal key milestones have been reached, typically including grid compliance, approval of metering systems and technical approval of a plant by independent engineers. Production volumes have reached normalised levels sold at the agreed off-taker agreement price. This milestone is regulated by the off-taker agreement with the power offtaker. In the quarterly report grid connection is used as a synonym to COD.
projects): Environmental and Social Impact Assessments (ESIAs), due diligence or baseline studies to identify potential environmental and social risks and impacts of our activities (in accordance with the IFC Performance Standards and Equator Principles).
GHG emissions avoided (in mill tonnes of CO2): Actual annual production from renewable power projects where Scatec has operational control multiplied by the country and region-specific emissions factor (source IEA).
Water withdrawal (in mill litres within water-stressed areas): As per the WRI Aqueduct Water Risk Atlas, the Company reports on water withdrawal by source for projects located within water- stressed areas in South Africa and Jordan.
Lost Time Incident Frequency (per mill hours): The number of lost time incidents per million hours worked for all renewable power projects where Scatec has operational control.
Hours worked (mill hours – 12 months rolling): The total number of hours worked by employees and contractors for all renewable power projects where Scatec has operational control for the last 12 months.
Female leaders (% of female in management positions): The total number of female managers as a percentage of all managers.
Corruption incidents: The number of confirmed incidents of corruption from reports received via Scatec's publicly available whistleblower function (on the Company's corporate website) managed by an independent third party.
