Cloudberry is a renewable energy company, born, bred, and operating in the Nordics. We develop, own and operate hydropower plants, wind farms and solar plants in Norway, Sweden and Denmark. We are powering the transition to a sustainable future by providing new renewable energy today and for future generations. As the junction box between capital, projects and local stakeholders, we balance respect for nature, biodiversity, and community values with sustainable and profitable growth. We believe in a fundamental, long-term and increasing demand for renewable energy in Europe. With this as a cornerstone, we have built a sustainable and scalable platform for creating stakeholder value.
Cloudberry has a "develop, own and operate" business model of renewable assets. Cloudberry is organized in three revenue generating segments and one cost-efficient corporate segment. After purchasing 100% of Captiva in December 2023, we rebranded the segments in 2024 into Projects (previously Development), Commercial (previously Production), and Asset Management (previously Operations). The scope, revenue, and cost streams of the segments are comparable to the previously reported segments.

Projects is a green-field developer of hydro, wind, solar and storage projects, including an experienced construction team in charge of building power plants with a solid track record. Commercial is an active owner of renewable power assets in the Nordics, and in charge of M&A and partnerships in Cloudberry. Asset Management manages and operates renewable assets primarily for external clients, as well as Cloudberry's own portfolio, ensuring sustainable performance and value creation for all stakeholders.
Our strong commitment to local communities and our integrated and responsible focus on the value chain ensure value creation and optimization of stakeholder interests.

Our portfolio of producing assets, including the newly signed Skovgaard transaction on 5 December 2024 (more information in Commercial segment reporting), consists of 22 hydropower assets and 114 wind turbines (organized in seven projects), wholly and partially owned. We have a local and active ownership strategy and prefer majority ownership; however, in certain investments we have shared ownership alongside strategic partners. The scalable Cloudberry platform is positioned for profitable growth, both in terms of energy production and growth in our in-house development portfolio. We are backed by strong owners and an experienced management team. Our shares are traded on the Oslo Stock Exchange's main list, ticker: CLOUD.
Cloudberry reports consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS and supplementary proportionate segment reporting. Proportionate financials represent Cloudberry's proportionate share of the financial results, assets, and liabilities of all entities and excluding any eliminations of transactions between segments. Cloudberry believes that proportionate reporting provides enhanced insight into the operation, financing and future prospects of the Group. Proportionate reporting is aligned with internal management reporting, analysis and decision making.
During 2024, Cloudberry continued to prepare for the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS). The sustainability statements in the annual report for 2024 will be inspired by ESRS but not yet fully aligned with its requirements.

Cloudberry has a robust and growing backlog and pipeline of new development opportunities across the Nordics. In the fourth quarter of 2024, Cloudberry reinforced its development capabilities through the signed strategic transaction in Denmark with Skovgaard, further elaborated in the Commercial segment. This collaboration with Skovgaard not only enhances our local presence but also provides a robust platform for future growth, leveraging a portfolio of development projects and an experienced asset management team. This strategic move aligns with Cloudberry's vision to expand its renewable energy footprint in the Nordics. Combined with the integration of Captiva, the development competence and access to greenfield projects have been integrated into a larger industrial setting. As of today, Cloudberry has an onshore pipeline of above 2,500 MW across the Nordics and an exclusive backlog of 1,239 MW.
Cloudberry's focus is towards projects offering favorable economic returns and low environmental impact. We believe these projects will add significant value to Cloudberry over time. This is underlined by the reduced availability of renewable projects in the southern parts of the Nordics due to more regulations, a strong focus on nature impact, and local stakeholder interests. Simultaneously, the demand for green power is rising.
Cloudberry collaborates with several large and undisclosed landowners to secure access to favorable land for development, as well as with established industrial companies as off-takers of green power. This is exemplified by the recent strategic collaboration with Holmen, one of Sweden's largest landowners with favorable projects included in the backlog. This approach aims to create beneficial projects for both Cloudberry and the industry.

Norway: Primarily hydro development, and industrial wind & solar projects Sweden: Primarily wind development and storage/battery
Denmark: Wind and solar development and exploring storage projects Backlog: Consists of 33 exclusive projects (1,239 MW) across the Nordics: • 10 Hydro projects
Cloudberry is structured into three collaborative segments: Projects, Commercial, and Asset Management, enabling efficient management and optimization of Cloudberry's renewable energy assets across the Nordics while enabling growth across all core areas.
Cloudberry focuses on proven and uncorrelated technologies across the Nordic countries. The following table details the strategic focus areas with the dark blue indicating key focus areas.

The final investment decision (FID) for Munkhyttan I (SE-3) was made in June 2023. Cloudberry has installed three Vestas V162 turbines, each with a capacity of 6.2 MW, under a long-term service contract with a ~97% uptime guarantee from Vestas. The expected annual production is 60 GWh. The Munkhyttan project is now fully operational and performing according to plan, with the Technical and Commercial Takeover (TOC) successfully completed in collaboration with Vestas. Delivered prior to initial timeline and within budget, the project aligns with Cloudberry's high standards for execution and continues our track record of successful project deliveries across the portfolio. No HSE-related incidents have been reported throughout the project lifecycle, reflecting our commitment to safety and operational excellence. The total investment is estimated to be just over EUR 30 million, with slightly approximately EUR 2.5 million of remaining investment at the end of the fourth quarter 2024.
The construction of Sundby Vindpark (SE-3) was delivered on schedule and below budget, and all turbines are undergoing production with site work completed. The wind farm consists of nine 3.6 MW Vestas turbines with an estimated annual production of 89 GWh and has a long-term ~97% availability guarantee from Vestas. Due to pending grid upgrades expected in late 2025, Cloudberry can deliver 23.5 MW to the grid (32.4 MW total), however the economic impact of the curtailment is expected to be less than the proportionate lower grid capacity. The total investment is estimated at EUR 50 million, with approximately EUR 1 million remaining at the end of the fourth quarter predominantly relating to the grid upgrades.
As both Munkhyttan and Sundby projects have reached completion, they were transferred at quarter end from the Projects segment to the Commercial segment, with enterprise values of EUR 39m and EUR 55m, respectively. These valuations, conducted by a reputable audit firm, reflect approximately EUR 650/MWh for Munkhyttan and EUR 620/MWh for Sundby. The production figures are included in the overall production metrics, while the production financials are included in the Projects segment as the internal sales were at quarter end. During the quarter a gain on sale of NOK 113m was recorded for the Projects segment in the proportionate financials, representing the value created for these projects. This transaction underscores significant value creation, demonstrating a gain of over NOK 2m per MW and highlights the Projects segment's role in driving value creation for Cloudberry.
Nees Hede (Solar, DK-1): Following the transaction with Skovgaard, further elaborated in the Commercial segment, Cloudberry will increase its ownership in the Nees Hede solar project to 100%. Through strategic optimization and development of the project over the last year, the project has increased in size from 175 MW to 232 MW. The solar project is still fully permitted and hybrid possibilities including battery integration are being explored. Efforts are underway to expand the grid connection to further optimize the project economics. Given the increased size and ownership, Cloudberry is considering bringing in a partner to mitigate financial exposure and project risks. The
project awaits the final grid sizing from Energinet prior to the final investment decision which is still expected in 2025.
Duvhällen (Wind, SE-3): Due to delays in the grid process, Cloudberry applied for a permit extension in 2023. The extension has been granted, providing the project with an additional four years to complete the construction and erection of the turbines. Early procurement preparations continued over the quarter. Cloudberry is considering selling part of the project (farm down) to align the project portfolio to available capital.
Dingelsundet (previously Stenkalles, Battery, SE-3). The project has secured permits to commence construction of a 20 MW /40 MWh battery installation (Phase I, numbers on a 100% basis). With an existing grid connection and a 100 MW transformation station in place, the projected economics are highly competitive, benefiting from the strategic location and the declining costs of industrialscale batteries. Cloudberry, in partnership with Hafslund (50/50 owners), is currently in the procurement phase, with a final investment decision anticipated in 2025. The expected revenue stream from the industrial battery project in Karlstad will be uncorrelated with Cloudberry's existing production, thereby enhancing the robustness and diversification of Cloudberry's Nordic portfolio.
As of the reporting date, the backlog has increased to 1,239 MW across 33 exclusive projects, up from 625 MW in the same quarter last year. Over the quarter, Cloudberry secured approximately 200 MW of new projects in SE3, Sweden spread over four projects. This achievement underscores the strength of our extensive local network and our growing brand presence in the region. We are actively advancing permit preparations and identifying local synergies to deliver value for stakeholders. By collaborating closely with communities, we ensure our projects align with local values, minimize environmental impact, and maximize returns.
Permit applications are continuously monitored. Over the quarter, Munkhyttan II successfully passed the important milestone of the municipal veto, marking a strong achievement for our local partner and us.
Cloudberry is also working on a large non-exclusive pipeline of promising projects across Norway, Sweden, and Denmark, totaling approximately 2 500 MW of hydro, solar, and onshore wind projects. Prior to signing land leases, a structured approach to site evaluation improves the project hit rate and reduces risk.
Commercial's focus is to increase Cloudberry's fundamental value per share by actively engaging in hydro, wind, solar and storge projects across the Nordic value chain.
In the fourth quarter of 2024, Cloudberry enhanced its strategic presence in Denmark through a pivotal acquisition with Skovgaard. This transaction adds 160 GWh of annual production capacity net to Cloudberry, including full ownership of the Odin portfolio and 80% ownership in the Svåheia wind farm in NO-2. Additionally, the deal includes development projects and a skilled local asset
management and development team, strengthening our operational capabilities in the region. Cloudberry will finance the transaction by utilizing approximately DKK 82m of the existing cash balance and DKK 253m of the existing debt facility. The remaining part of the purchase price, estimated to DKK 319m, will be settled through the issue of approximately 29.5 million shares in Cloudberry. The consideration shares will be issued to Skovgaard at an agreed subscription price of NOK 17.0 per share. The transaction and subscription price have been determined based on fundamental third-party assessments prepared by reputable audit firms. NOK 17.0 per share represents a ~52% premium to the share price when announced. Further information about the transaction scope can be found in the press release. The transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of 2025.
Cloudberry's proportionate power production in the fourth quarter totaled 213 GWh, a ~36% increase from 157 GWh in the same quarter last year. The table shows the proportionate production for the quarter, broken down by different price areas.
| Production (GWh) | Q4 2024 | Q4 2023 |
|---|---|---|
| NO-1 | 55 | 39 |
| NO-2 | 23 | 16 |
| NO-3 | 8 | 6 |

| Total | 213 | 157 |
| Of which hydro | 46 | 23 |
| Of which wind | 168 | 134 |
Proportionate wind power production totaled 168 GWh over the quarter (134 GWh). The increase is mainly due to increase in Production from the newly completed Swedish wind asset, Odal ramping up production offset by lower production from Denmark due to lower wind speeds.
Proportionate hydro power production totaled 46 GWh over the quarter (23 GWh). In the second quarter of 2024, Cloudberry completed a hydro asset swap, selling three hydropower assets while increasing its ownership in the Forte portfolio from 34% to 49.99%. The swap optimized Cloudberry's portfolio and, in addition to the newly completed hydropower plant Øvre Kvemma in NO5, explains the majority of the difference in production volumes in NO-2, NO-3, NO-4 and NO-5.
The turbines at Odal Wind Farm, part of the Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy 4.X series, have encountered blade issues as previously reported. By year-end, 30 out of 34 turbines have met the return to service (RTS) criteria and are operational following a shutdown after a blade incident on turbine 09 in April 2024. Three additional turbines are expected to be operational by the end of February 2025 according to SGRE, with only T09 remaining offline. RTS indicates that turbines are operational but subject to further inspections until fully completed. Production will be undergoing ramp-up throughout 2025 as final repairs and inspections are being completed.
The extensive repair campaign by Siemens Gamesa and the rigorous control measures by Odal have progressed over the quarter. Repairs will continue through the winter, although the pace will be affected by temperature and wind conditions. These repairs and blade replacements are covered under Odal Wind's contracts with Siemens Gamesa. Further, the remaining amount from the first availability period has been accounted for this quarter, with payment expected after the second availability period concludes in the second quarter of 2025.
Cloudberry realized an average net power price of NOK 0.59 per kWh (NOK 0.76 per kWh) compared to the Nordic system price of NOK 0.36 per kWh over the quarter. This showcases Cloudberry's favorable portfolio composition in the relatively higher southern price areas compared to the theoretical average of the Nordic region.
During the fourth quarter, 10% of Cloudberry's production was sold at fixed (hedged) prices. As of the reporting date, Cloudberry had established hedges for its power sales in accordance with the table below. Further a pay-as-produced GO hedge is in place in the Odin portfolio, covering about 160 GWh over three years at approximately EUR 5 per GO. Cloudberry aims to hedge around 30% of its production to cover all interest and overhead costs, with this strategy being phased in over time.
| Asset | Contract (GWh) | Expiry | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| NO-2 | 8 | 2024 | Baseload |
| NO-2 | 4 | 2027 | Baseload |
| DK-1 | 37 | 2027 | Pay as produced |

Volumes are proportionate to Cloudberry

The Asset Management segment, organized under the fully integrated Captiva Group, focuses on management services and digital solutions. Through the signed Danish expansion in the fourth quarter of 2024, Cloudberry further strengthens its Asset Management capabilities through the addition of Skovgaard Energy's technically oriented asset management team, specializing in solar and wind assets with a Danish foothold. This team will continue to manage the fully owned Odin portfolio, as well as other renewable assets still owned by Skovgaard. The integration of Cloudberry's (historically Captiva) and Skovgaard's asset management teams is expected to unlock operational synergies, leveraging expertise across both organizations while increasing the assets under management. Please see the press release for more information about the transaction.
Asset Management has further completed the following main activities over the quarter:
• Successful onboarding of the Munkhyttan and Sundby wind projects
Cloudberry focuses on optimizing liquidity and reducing costs to boost profitability. In the fourth quarter of 2024 EUR 16 million in debt was drawn for the Munkhyttan project. The Øvre Kvemma project remains equity-financed, with plans to finance 50% of the acquisition cost with debt in coming quarters.
Cloudberry has an attractive NOK 2.20 billion credit facility, with approximately NOK 1.60 billion currently utilized. Cloudberry is expected to draw the equivalent of ~NOK 400 million in additional debt from the facility to finance the previously mentioned signed Danish expansion.
Above 80% of the proportionate debt is fixed on long-term contracts at an all-in rate (including margins) below 4% p.a.
Cloudberry is well-positioned for continued growth and value creation across its Projects, Commercial, and Asset Management segments. The successful transfer of Munkhyttan and Sundby following a completion on time and budget to the Commercial segment demonstrates our ability to deliver value, while the addition of 200 MW in SE3, Sweden, and the expansion of the Nees Hede solar project to 232 MW strengthen our development pipeline while increasing its value.
Through the Danish acquisition, Cloudberry has established a solid foothold in the Danish market, increasing our presence and capabilities in one of Europe's leading renewable energy regions. The integration of Skovgaard's team with Cloudberry's existing operations unlocks synergies, increases economies of scale, and positions us to expand our services across a growing portfolio of both producing assets and development possibilities.
As an example of the flexibility in our portfolio, Cloudberry and Hafslund have through 2024 successfully pivoted Dingelsundet from an unprofitable offshore wind project into a viable and competitive battery project. This achievement underscores Cloudberry's agility and expertise in optimizing assets to align with market opportunities and deliver sustainable value.
As we expand our footprint in the Nordics, we remain committed to ensuring operational excellence and maintaining strong stakeholder relationships. Initiatives such as local collaborations and community engagement, as seen in our projects over the course of 2024, reflect our dedication to sustainable development and long-term value creation.
Looking ahead, Cloudberry will continue to focus on disciplined execution, strategic profitable growth, and leveraging its strengthened platform to drive the energy transition and deliver longterm value for stakeholders.
Cloudberry is committed to providing renewable energy today and for future generations and to driving the transition to a sustainable future in line with our core values. Our long-term success hinges on our interdependent sustainable and profitable operations. We systematically manage key sustainability topics internally and across our value chain, guided by a double materiality analysis that informs our strategic decisions. This approach is essential for creating long-term value.

1 As a basis for calculating the positive contribution (avoided emissions), Cloudberry has used the European electricity mix (EU-27, IEA 2024)
2 For a description of our methodology, see our FY2023 sustainability report. During 2024 have removed the 'End-of-life Treatment'-category from our scope 3
inventory, and we updated our emission factors. Due to these changes, we have recalculated previously reported GHG emissions
3 The results from the Employee engagement index and the Equal opportunities index originate from the annual survey in Dec 2024. The score is 1 to 6, with 6 as the highest score.
In the fourth quarter, Cloudberry achieved a proportionate power production of 213 GWh (157 GWh in Q4 2023), while emitting only 62 tCO2e. Producing an equivalent amount of electricity using the European electricity mix, would have emitted approximately 53,150 more tonnes of CO2e (EU-27 electricity mix, IEA 2024). While avoided emissions were behind target due to the reduced production at the Odal wind farm, we remain committed to optimizing operational efficiency to maximize our contribution to a low-carbon energy system. For further details, see the Operational review.
Cloudberry calculates its emissions in accordance with the GHG protocol. Our total emissions for the year are 6,072 tCO2e, of which approximately 5,800 tCO2e are related to our construction activities. As we had no construction activities in the fourth quarter of 2024, our emissions were much lower than in the first half of the year, ending in the fourth quarter at only 62 tCO2e.
Cloudberry emphasizes respect for nature and aims to ensure minimal impact on natural habitats and biodiversity in our projects. Understanding our projects' impact on nature and wildlife is crucial for mitigating negative effects.
Cloudberry's EU Taxonomy reporting demonstrates how our eligible activities contribute to climate change mitigation while adhering to the 'Do No Significant Harm' principle and the minimum social safeguards. Our taxonomy disclosures provide transparency on the sustainability of our operations and will be published as part of our annual report.
At Cloudberry, maintaining high standards in health, safety, and environmental (HSE) practices is a top priority. We continuously work to minimize risks across all project phases, from development and construction to operations.
In the fourth quarter of 2024, there were no recordable HSE incidents or environmental damages within Cloudberry's own operations. However, a subcontractor at Odal Wind Farm suffered an accident resulting in a broken leg. While Cloudberry does not have operational control at Odal Wind Farm, we take such incidents seriously. The management at Cloudberry and at Odal Wind Farm are
closely following up on this matter, ensuring that appropriate HSE measures are implemented. Additionally, we remain committed to strengthening safety initiatives both internally and in collaboration with our partners to prevent future incidents.
At Cloudberry, we believe that our differences make us stronger. In the fourth quarter of 2024, the cross-sectional social sustainability group held workshops with the purpose of identifying initiatives that will enhance our understanding of our differences.
The "Young Cloud" initiative regularly arranged events aimed at motivating and nurturing our young and talented employees.
Our annual employee engagement was conducted in November and December in 2024. The survey covers topics, such as culture, strategy, diversity, engagement, and even artificial intelligence. The survey showed great results across the board, with improvements from last survey's already good results. Especially, the diversity- and engagement-index saw improvements, demonstrating that our initiatives are effective.
In the fourth quarter, Cloudberry strengthened its engagement with local stakeholders, including politicians, landowners, business owners, neighbors, and media to listen, address concerns, provide transparent updates on ongoing projects, and highlight our contributions to local value creation.
As part of our commitment to supporting future generations, Cloudberry's annual Christmas donation was given to Save the Children Norway. Their mission to aid children affected by war and climate change, aligns closely with Cloudberry's long-term vision of sustainability and generational impact. In addition to this national contribution, our local offices actively supported charitable initiatives in Eskilstuna, Gothenburg, and Karlstad, reinforcing our dedication to building thriving communities where we operate.
In the fourth quarter of 2024, our primary governance initiatives focused on the transaction with Skovgaard. The third-party due diligence process ensured not only the accuracy of financial records but also incorporated legal, organizational, and governance considerations to uphold best practices. Additionally, we reinforced our commitment to data and physical security across our sites.
To strengthen corporate ethics and accountability, we enhanced our whistleblower channel by appointing two board members alongside the Chief Sustainability Officer as designated recipients, further safeguarding transparency and integrity.
Aligned with our dedication to operational excellence and sustainability, we introduced supplier audits to rigorously assess and select partners who meet our ESG standards and sustainability goals. These in-depth evaluations allow us to verify product quality and ensure strict adherence to our environmental, social, and governance guidelines.
By conducting comprehensive supply chain reviews before procurement, we guarantee consistent compliance with our ESG commitments. This proactive approach not only strengthens supplier relationships but also reinforces our dedication to responsible sourcing and value chain integrity.
The fourth quarter of 2024 reflects Cloudberry's continued focus on delivering value through its core operations. Consolidated financial reporting for the period was primarily derived from ordinary business activities, including power revenues and other income streams.
A key highlight of the quarter was the strategic transfer of the Sunby and Munkhyttan windfarms from the Projects segment to the Commercial segment as they have both reached completion. These assets were transferred at quarter end to an enterprise value of EUR 39m and EUR 55m based on valuations from a reputable third-party audit firm. The transaction generated a gain of NOK 113m within the Projects segment in the proportionate financials, or over NOK 2 million per MW, showcasing the value created through successful project development. In our consolidated reporting this gain has been eliminated.
Additionally, the quarter marked further collaboration with Skovgaard, with the signing of the transaction as announced in the stock exchange notice dated 5 December 2024 and further described in the Commercial segment reporting above. Over the quarter a NOK 6m one-off expense was recorded in the Corporate segment related to transaction costs. Apart from this, the transaction had no financial impact on the fourth quarter's reported figures. The transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of 2025, and upon completion, the associated assets and liabilities will be incorporated into the Group's financial reporting.
(Figures in brackets represent same quarter last year)
Total revenues. Consolidated and proportionate revenues for the fourth quarter were NOK 127m and NOK 260m respectively (NOK 133m and NOK 146m).
EBITDA. Consolidated and proportionate EBITDA for the fourth quarter were NOK 58m and NOK 166m respectively (NOK -40m and NOK 58m).
The decline in consolidated total revenues is primarily attributed to a one-off effect in the fourth quarter of 2023, stemming from the termination of the Stenkalles offshore wind project. This termination resulted in the recognition of other income in the fourth quarter of 2023 due to a reversal of previous accruals.
The increase in EBITDA is largely driven by changes in net income from associates and joint ventures during the fourth quarter. In the fourth quarter of 2023 all assets related to the Stenkalles offshore project were impaired affecting net income from Stenkalles and therefore Cloudberry consolidated EBITDA negatively in the fourth quarter of 2023.
EBIT. The consolidated EBIT in the fourth quarter amounted to NOK 20m (NOK -183m).

The table below summarizes the key figures on a consolidated basis.
| NOK million | Q4 2024 | Q4 2023 | FY 2024 | FY 2023 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue and other income | 127 | 133 | 547 | 610 |
| Net income/(loss) from associated companies and JV | 10 | -86 | 51 | -72 |
| EBITDA | 58 | -40 | 308 | 263 |
| Operating profit (EBIT) | 20 | -183 | 143 | 37 |
| Profit/loss from total operations | -4 | -166 | 122 | 233 |
| Total assets | 7 028 | 6 691 | 7 028 | 6 691 |
| Cash and cash equivalents | 874 | 779 | 874 | 779 |
| Equity | 4 774 | 4 617 | 4 774 | 4 617 |
| Interst bearing debt | 1 951 | 1 585 | 1 951 | 1 585 |
| Net interest bearing debt (NIBD) | 1 077 | 806 | 1 077 | 806 |
| Basic earings per share | -0.06 | -0.46 | 0.33 | 0.93 |
Total consolidated revenue for the fourth quarter amounted to NOK 127m, compared to NOK 133m in the same period last year. The NOK 6m decline is primarily driven by a reduction of NOK 12m in other income due to a reversal of a past accrual recognized in the fourth quarter of the previous year. This decrease was partially offset by a NOK 6m increase in power-related revenues.
Net income from associated companies and JVs represents Cloudberry's investment in Odal Wind, Forte, parts of the Odin portfolio, Dingelsundet (Stenkalles) and Kraftanmelding, utilizing the equity method to account for Cloudberry's proportion of the companies' net income in the consolidated accounts. The net income from Odin, Odal Wind, and Forte primarily represents profit from power sales and is included in the Commercial segment for the proportionate figures, while Dingelsundet is included in the Projects segment. Kraftanmelding is included in the Asset Management segment.
Net income from associated companies and JVs for the fourth quarter amounted to NOK 10m, an increase of NOK 96m compared to NOK -86m in the same period last year. This improvement was primarily driven by stronger contributions from Odal Wind and Dingelsund (Stenkalles), both of which incurred losses in the fourth quarter of the previous year. Dingelsundets prior-year losses were largely attributed to the write-down of offshore wind activities in Lake Vänern, while Odal Wind's losses in the fourth quarter of 2023 stemmed mainly from a deferred tax expense related to the implementation of the resource rent tax.
Conversely, the Forte portfolio experienced a reduction of NOK 6m compared to the same quarter last year, and the Odin portfolio saw a decline of NOK 3m. Both decreases were primarily due to lower realized power revenues, reflecting the impact of decreased power prices.
In the fourth quarter, net income from the Forte portfolio was NOK -4m (NOK 1m), Odal Wind was NOK 5m (NOK -29m), the Odin portfolio of associates and JVs represented NOK 7m (NOK 10m) and Dingelsundet was NOK 2m (NOK -69m).
EBITDA for the fourth quarter amounted to NOK 58m (NOK -40m). This increase of NOK 98m is primarily attributed to a NOK 8m reduction in operating expenses and a NOK 96m rise in net income from associated companies and JVs, partially offset by a NOK 6m decline in total revenues.
The NOK 8m reduction in operating expenses compared to the same quarter last year was mainly driven by a NOK 4m decrease in the cost of goods sold and a NOK 9m reduction in salary and personnel expenses. The latter is primarily from fewer employees following the reorganization of digital services, which are no longer consolidated entities. Furter, other operating expenses increased by NOK 6m due to one-off transaction costs related to the Skovgaard transaction signed on 5 December explaining the remaining difference. Additionally, a non-cash cost of NOK 4m related to issued warrants was recognized during the quarter.
EBIT in the fourth quarter amounted to NOK 20m (NOK -183m). The improvement of NOK 203 was primarily driven by a NOK 98 million increase in EBITDA and a NOK 105 million reduction in depreciation, amortization, and write-downs. The decrease in write-downs was largely attributable to the impairment of intangible assets and goodwill related to the Captiva acquisition in December
Net finance items in the fourth quarter resulted in an expense of NOK 12m (finance income of NOK 4m). The decrease compared to the same quarter last year mainly relates to foreign exchange items. See note 4 for further information.
Equity has increased with NOK 157m from NOK 4 617m to NOK 4 774m from year end 2023 to year end 2024. Profit from total operations is NOK 122m and net other comprehensive income is NOK 98m. Share-based payments increased by net NOK 17m, while other transactions with noncontrolling interests represent NOK -80m (mainly dividends paid to non-controlling interest in the Odin portfolio and deconsolidation of non-controlling interests in Kraftanmelding AS). Cloudberry's equity ratio as of 31 December 2024 was 68% (69% as of 31 December 2023).
Cash and cash equivalents were NOK 874m per 31 December 2024, an increase of NOK 95m from year end 2023. The change comprises mainly NOK 249m from operating activities, NOK -245m from investment activities and NOK 86m stems from financing activities. The effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents was NOK 5m.
Total interest-bearing debt has increased from NOK 1 585m to NOK 1 951m from year end 2023 to year end 2024. The increase of NOK 366m is comprised of new drawn debt of NOK 472m, offset by the payment of principal amounts of NOK 86m and payment of debt related to disposed assets and other debt of NOK 129m. Changes in the fair value of interest rate derivatives have increased the debt by NOK 36m, while changes in foreign exchange rates have increased the debt by NOK 73m, of which NOK 60m is recognized in the profit or loss statement and NOK 13m is included in OCI. The debt currencies are structured to match the underlying assets functional currency to reduce risk and achieve a natural hedge on the foreign exchange fluctuations.

Cloudberry Clean Energy ASA ("the Company"), its subsidiaries and investments in associated companies and joint ventures ("the Group" or "Cloudberry") is an independent power producer, developing, owning and operating renewable assets in the Nordics. Cloudberry has an integrated business model across the life cycle of renewable power plants including project development, construction, financing, ownership, operation and management.
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 the Oslo Stock Exchange main list (ticker: CLOUD).
The condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the fourth quarter of 2024 were authorized by the Board of Directors for issue on 12 February 2025.
The accounting policies applied by Cloudberry in these interim financial statements are consistent with those of the financial year 2023. The presentation currency is NOK (Norwegian Krone).
During 2024, Cloudberry Clean Energy ASA carried out two transactions as part of its portfolio optimization strategy. These transactions are summarized below. For more detailed information, please refer to the respective quarterly reports.
On June 28, 2024, Cloudberry sold three hydropower plants—Usma, Bjørgelva, and Finnesetbekken—to Cadre AS for NOK 320.5 million. The transaction, focused on portfolio optimization, generated a gain of NOK 109 million and added NOK 210 million in liquidity.
On 30 August 2024, Cloudberry transferred its digital business, including shares in Proxima Hydrotech AS and the Captiva Portal, to Kraftanmelding AS as part of a strategic reorganization. This reduced Cloudberry's ownership in Kraftanmelding to 31.57%, resulting in a gain of NOK 8.3 million and the deconsolidation of the entity.
These transactions reflect Cloudberry's ongoing efforts to streamline its portfolio and focus on strategic growth areas. For further details, please refer to Note 2 in the second and third quarter 2024 reports.
The Group reports its operations in four operating segments.
The Group reports proportionate financials (APM) for each operating segment. Proportionate financials represent Cloudberry's proportionate share of the results of all entities and without eliminations based on Cloudberry's economic interest. The reporting recognizes Cloudberry's proportionate share of results for entities that are not consolidated and consolidated subsidiaries held at less than 100%, excluding the share of non-controlling interest.
Proportionate financials are further defined and described in the APM section of this report.
Following the reorganization of the digital investments in Captiva in the third quarter, the ownership share in Kraftanmelding AS was reduced from 50.05% to 31.57%. Therefore, the profit or loss figures are included with the previous ownership share up until the transaction, while thereafter the figures are included with the new ownership share. Assets and liabilities are included with the new ownership share as of December 31. The investment is reported under the Asset Management segment.
The additional investment in Forte, which was completed on 28 June in the second quarter, increased the ownership share from 34% to 49.99%. Therefore, the profit or loss figures in Forte are included with the previous ownership share up until the transaction, while in the reporting periods after that the figures are based on increased ownership.
The Group increased ownership in Captiva from 60% to 100% on 19 December 2023. Captiva is a part of the Asset Management segment. The segment reporting for 2024 therefore includes 100% ownership of the Captiva Group, while comparable figures for 2023 represent a 60% ownership share.
The tables below show the proportionate segment reporting for the respective periods Q4 2024, Q4 2023, FY 2024 and FY 2023. The tables include a reconciliation of the Group consolidated IFRS reported figures. Please refer to the APM section of this report for further reconciliation to the Group IFRS reported figures.

In the fourth quarter, net financial expense amounted to NOK 12m compared with net financial income of NOK 4m in the same quarter last year.
Other financial income of NOK 12 million in the fourth quarter relates to a gain from an interest rate swap agreement that is no longer in an effective hedge relationship. The swap agreement will be used to hedge the debt expected to be drawn for Øvre Kvemma in the first half of 2025. However, hedge accounting will not be applied, and the derivative will be accounted for at fair value, with changes recognized in the profit or loss statement.
Exchange difference gains in financial income in the fourth quarter amount to NOK 4m and are mainly related to internal receivables and liabilities.
Exchange difference losses in financial expenses in the fourth quarter amount to NOK 7m of which 5 are related to debt in foreign currency, and NOK 2m are related to internal receivables and liabilities.
The Group uses derivative financial instruments to hedge interest rate, currency, and power price risk exposures. Please see notes 8 and 9 in the annual report for 2023 for details about financial risks, financial instruments, and hedge accounting.

During 2024, the following main changes were related to the PPE portfolio.
In June, the Group disposed of three hydropower plants—Usma, Bjørgelva, and Finnesetbekken—reducing PPE by NOK 213m. For more details, refer to Note 2 in the Q2 2024 report.
In July, Cloudberry acquired Øvre Kvemma Kraftverk, a hydropower plant with an annual production capacity of 20 GWh, for NOK 124m. The transaction is presented as an addition to producing power plants.
Increase in PPE from additions stems mainly from the completion of the Sundby and Munkhyttan wind farms which both have transitioned from "under construction" to "producing power plants" during 2024. At year-end, both projects were internally sold from the Projects to the Commercial segment. Internal gains were eliminated in the consolidated accounts, and the wind farms are recorded at cost.
The annual depreciation amounted to NOK 175m of which NOK 40m relates to the fourth quarter of 2024. In the fourth quarter a reduction of depreciations of NOK 7m relates to prior quarters in 2024.
Contractual obligations for Munkhyttan totaled slightly above EUR 30m approximately EUR 2.5m outstanding. For Sundby, obligations approximately EUR 50m, with approximately EUR 1m remaining.
Investments in associated companies and joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method. Please refer to the annual report for 2023 note 19 for detailed information about entities classified as associated companies and joint ventures.
On 28 June, Cloudberry entered into a share purchase agreement to increase the ownership in the associated company Forte Energy Norway AS, now owning 49.99%. Please refer to note 6 in the second quarter and half year report for further details.
On 30 August, the Group reorganized its digital investments in Captiva, resulting in a reduction of ownership share in Kraftanmelding AS. The investment, previously a subsidiary, is now accounted for as an associated company within the Asset Management segment with a carrying value of NOK 20m. Please refer to note 2 in the third quarter report for further details. The investment will be presented under "Other" in the table below.
Please note that the figures related to Odin entities included in this note represent only the entities in the Odin portfolio that utilize the equity accounting method in the consolidated Group accounts. Of the total 311 GWh proportionate share from the total Odin portfolio net to Cloudberry, these entities represent approximately 49 GWh proportionate to Cloudberry.
The table shows the summarized financial information in the Group accounts for equity accounted companies.

The alternative performance measures (APMs) provided by the Group are a supplement to the financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS. The APMs are frequently used by analysts, investors, and other parties as supplementary information.
The purpose of the APMs and non-financial measure is to provide an enhanced insight into the operations, financing, and future prospects for the Group. Management also uses these measures internally for key performance measures (KPIs). They represent the most important measures to support 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, amortization & 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 of the financial strength and is an indicator of risk. |
| Last twelve months (LTM) | LTM refers to the financial period defined as the past 12 months period ending with the last month in the reporting period |
Shows a more current picture of the financial performance of a full year compared to previous fiscal year. |

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 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:
From the consolidated IFRS reported figures, to arrive at the proportionate figures for the respective periods the Group has:
"Other eliminations group":
• Added back eliminated internal profit or loss items and internal debt and assets.
"Elimination of equity accounted entities":
"Residual ownership":
• Excluded residual ownership share related to non-controlling interest in the respective accounting lines.
The tables below reconcile the consolidated Group figures with the proportionate financial for the periods Q4 2024, Q4 2023, FY2024 and FY 2023:
