Sig nific ant e ve nts d uring the p e riod

  • In May, Arise announced that the Board had resolved to utilise the authorisation granted by the 2024 Annual General Meeting to buy back the company's own shares up to MSEK 50 ahead of the 2025 Annual General Meeting. Under this share buyback programme and the previous buyback programme, 2,455,820 own shares were repurchased for MSEK 110 during the year.
  • In May, Eva Vitell announced that she was leaving the Board of Arise at her own request, since she has accepted a position with Svenska Kraftnät.
  • In May, the Lebo wind farm was completed. The wind farm is fully owned by Arise, has a capacity of 33 MW and is located in price area 3. Following the completion, Lebo is part of the Production segment.
  • Arise announced in June that the earnout payment for the Ranasjö- and Salsjöhöjden project had been established at MEUR 6.6, which was received in the same month. Of the earnout amount, MEUR 4.2 had already been recognised whereby the earnings effect for the second quarter amounted to MEUR 2.4.
  • In June, Arise's subsidiary Pohjan Voima entered into a cooperation agreement with Finsilva, one of Finland's largest landowners. The cooperation opens up opportunities for the development of new wind and solar projects, which may also include battery storage. Five project areas have been identified with estimated potential of approximately 500 MW.
  • In September, Arise entered into an agreement with Flower Infrastructure Technologies AB to sell the battery project Pajkölen with a capacity of 40 MW. The purchase price will amount to a maximum of approximately MSEK 30. Approximately MSEK 15 will be received at closing and the remaining part at completion of the grid connection, which is expected in the first half of 2025. An additional sum of approximately MSEK 15 could be received at certain prices for ancillary services during the first three years after commissioning. Closing took place in November.
  • In November, Arise entered into a settlement agreement with a previous service provider and the ongoing arbitration proceedings therefore ended. The settlement impacted revenues positively by MSEK 10 in the fourth quarter.

Sig nific ant e ve nts afte r the e nd o f th e re p orting p e riod

  • In January, Arise entered into a facilities agreement with DNB regarding a green term facility of approximately MEUR 52 and a green revolving facility of MEUR 40 and announced that the company will redeem all outstanding green bonds of MEUR 50. The new agreement entails a significant reduction of the company's financing costs. The bonds were redeemed on 31 January.
  • In January, Arise announced that the Board of Directors had resolved to once again utilise the authorisation granted by the 2024 Annual General Meeting to repurchase the company's own ordinary shares. The company intends to repurchase its own shares for an amount of up to MSEK 50 until the date of the 2025 Annual General Meeting.

Satisfactory earnings and growing project portfolio – expected project sales in 2025

Our efforts in Finland and the UK contributed to healthy growth in our project portfolio that increased by approximately 750 MW during the quarter and 2,000 MW during the year, while projects in late developmental phases increased by approximately 450 MW. As such, the company has good possibilities to achieve its financial target of selling a total of 400 MW in 2024 and 2025. We delivered 10% of this target in 2024 and are therefore expecting several project sales in 2025 and expect that Finland and the UK will play an important role in this.

The fourth quarter resulted in an EBITDA of MSEK 47 and net profit of MSEK 33, which for the full-year means EBITDA of MSEK 226 and net profit of MSEK 172. Given a weak transaction market, low electricity prices in the Nordic countries and relatively weak wind resources during the year, the company has demonstrated strength in posting repeated strong earnings and profitability in all business segments.

During the year, Arise delivered shareholder value through its dividend of SEK 1.20 per share and completed a share buyback programme totalling approximately MSEK 110.

In January 2025, successful refinancing of the company took place and the company's bonds were repurchased. Thanks to our strong financial position and track record, we now have a financing solution in place with greater flexibility at the same time as we have MEUR 2.5 lower annual costs. We are now well positioned to continue to deliver further shareholder value through such measures as share buy-backs and dividends without negatively impacting the ability to achieve our growth targets.

During the year, the company focused on integrating acquired companies (Pohjan Voima and Fenix Repower) into Arise's operations in order to take advantage of synergies between the company's various business areas and geographies and thus make the best use of our resources. As part of this work, we have now implemented an organisational change with a new function in Group management in which we coordinate project development efforts and M&A in all of our markets. Daniel Cambridge, CCO, has been appointed to head this function and I am convinced that we will gain traction in project development and over time, increase transaction intensity.

The markets for project transactions were generally weak in 2024, but we are seeing examples of private equity companies acquiring several companies in the sector, which indicates an optimistic view of future market conditions. Largely as a result of the weather, electricity prices in the Nordic countries were low during the year, while prices in continental Europe were significantly higher despite the economic climate, driven by gas prices and the cost of emission allowances. Prices in the UK have been even higher. Overall, we are seeing signs of increased activity in the transaction market, in part driven by lower interest rates. The mild winter so far has resulted in low market prices in the Nordic countries and the weather will continue to play a decisive role in a sensitive market combined with the economic situation.

I can conclude by stating that the year ended with satisfactory results. 2024 was a challenging year in which we have demonstrated that the company remains strong, having delivered positive earnings in all business segments, and is continuing to create conditions to more quickly realise value from an increasingly strong project portfolio. We are now looking forward to a new year with new challenges and opportunities and we are confident of achieving good results.

Halmstad, 14 February 2025 Per-Erik Eriksson CEO

"The company has good possibilities to achieve its financial target of selling a total of 400 MW in 2024 and 2025. We delivered 10% of this target in 2024 and are therefore expecting several project sales in 2025 and expect that Finland and the UK will play an important role in this.

Net sales and results

MSEK Q4 2024 Q4 2023 12 m 20 24 12 m 20 23
Net sales 153 191 470 503
EBITDA 47 82 226 286
EBIT 24 65 144 223
Profit before tax 34 77 135 200
Profit after tax 33 77 172 200

Comments on the fourth quarter

Income in Development declined slightly compared with the year-earlier quarter despite the sale of Pajkölen during the quarter, since the fourth quarter of 2023 included the sale of Fasikan with a total income of MSEK 95. In Production, the quarter was characterised by lower market prices for electricity than in the same period last year. Despite higher production, production revenue declined. In Solutions, revenue was in line with the fourth quarter of 2023.

Net sales amounted to MSEK 153 (191). Production generated 97 GWh (88) while the average realised price declined to SEK 525 per MWh (727). Operating expenses amounted to MSEK -123 (-113). Overall, EBITDA amounted to MSEK 47 (82). Depreciation amounted to MSEK -24 (-17), resulting in EBIT of MSEK 24 (65). Net financial items amounted to MSEK 10 (12), of which exchange rate differences corresponded to MSEK -4 (3). The company's electricity production assets are valued in EUR and income is received in EUR. The company has therefore chosen to take loans in EUR, creating a natural hedge. Changes to the EUR/SEK exchange rate will continue to affect comparability of net financial items, whereby a strengthening of SEK will improve the net and vice versa. Corresponding reverse value changes in SEK terms for the underlying assets are not recognised. Profit before and after tax amounted to MSEK 33 (77).

Cash flow and investments

Comments on the fourth quarter

Cash flow from operating activities before changes in working capital was MSEK 84 (113). Changes in working capital were MSEK 10 (67) and the total operating cash flow was thus MSEK 94 (180). Net cash flow from investing activities was MSEK -54 (-57). Cash flow after investments was thus MSEK 40 (123). Amortisations totalling MSEK -28 (-17) were paid. Interest and financing costs of MSEK -21 (-19) were paid, after which cash flow, adjusted for lease effects, amounted to MSEK -11 (119) for the quarter.

Financing and liquidity

At the end of the period, the company had a net debt of MSEK 387 (183), an increase that was primarily explained by loans raised related to the construction of the Lebo project, which was completed during the year. In addition, the company paid dividends and carried out share buybacks in order to optimise the company's capital structure and further increase shareholder value. Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the period totalled MSEK 762 (917). At the end of the period, the equity/assets ratio was 57% (58).

After the end of the period, the company entered into a facilities agreement with DNB regarding a green term facility of approximately MEUR 52 and a green revolving facility of MEUR 40. The company also redeemed all outstanding green bonds of MEUR 50. The total annual financing costs are estimated to decrease by approximately MEUR 2.5 with an unused revolving facility.

Comments on the fourth quarter

Income declined slightly during the quarter since the fourth quarter of 2023 included the sale of the Fasikan wind power project. However, the Pajkölen battery project was divested in the fourth quarter, which had a positive impact on income.

Income amounted to MSEK 91 (116). The cost of sold projects amounted to MSEK -32 (-43). Other operating expenses amounted to MSEK -39 (-19). EBITDA amounted to MSEK 25 (56). Depreciation and amortisation amounted to MSEK -2 (-1), whereby EBIT amounted to MSEK 23 (56). Net financial items amounted to MSEK 14 (17), of which exchange rate differences corresponded to MSEK -1 (13). Profit before tax thus amounted to MSEK 37 (73).

Portfolio

The development of the project portfolio was clearly positive during the quarter with total growth of about 750 MW while projects in late phase increased by 125 MW. In Finland, a number of projects are likely to be in a transaction phase in 2025. Two wind projects have been permitted and are undergoing appeals processes, which will determine when the projects will be transaction ready. In addition, we have large-scale battery projects in Finland that are either permitted or close to becoming permitted. In the UK, the portfolio increased by just over 200 MW during the quarter, which was related to battery projects and onshore wind projects in England. For a longer period of time, the company has evaluated a number of areas for onshore wind in England and is now accelerating developments to secure and qualify additional wind projects for the project portfolio. Line concession work is ongoing for Finnåberget in Sweden and the continued goal is to divest the project in 2025. Some uncertainty remains regarding the capacity of the grid connection that will potentially imply that the project will be implemented in two stages. In addition, a number of attractive wind projects were secured during the quarter, which altogether resulted in an increase to the portfolio in Sweden by over 200 MW. In Ukraine, discussions on cooperation and evaluation of several projects with good potential remain ongoing.

Arise's development portfolio on the reporting date is presented in this section, amounting to approximately 8,850 MW. Arise estimates that the valuation of the projects, once they reach the ready-tobuild phase, amounts to MSEK 1 / MW. This should be regarded as an average over time, technologies and markets. The overall project portfolio therefore represents high potential value for the company, even if a proportion of the projects risk not being completed.

The portfolio is divided into projects in late developmental phases, which amount to a total of over 1,300 MW, and projects in early developmental phases, which amount to a total of approximately

7,500 MW. The company is working actively to expand the project portfolio concerning wind and solar power as well as battery storage in the Nordic countries, UK and Ukraine, but is also continuously evaluating new geographies. Efforts to expand the project portfolio include greenfield projects and acquisitions of projects at varying stages.

In working to increase its project portfolio, Arise is evaluating a number of different conceivable projects. The vast majority of the projects being evaluated do not qualify for further development as they are not deemed realisable given their production conditions (wind and solar conditions), permit risks, grid capacity and economic potential. These primary factors were determined to be promising for the projects below.

Comments on the fourth quarter

The quarter was characterised by lower market prices than in the same period last year. With the inclusion of Lebo in the segment, production at the company's wind farms increased to 97 GWh (88). However, average income decreased markedly to SEK 525 per MWh (727) due to lower market prices than in the year-earlier period. In November, Arise entered into a settlement agreement with a previous service provider, which positively impacted revenues by about MSEK 10.

Income amounted to MSEK 62 (65). Operating expenses amounted to MSEK -22 (-14), corresponding to a specific operating expense of SEK -227 per MWh (-159). EBITDA thus decreased to MSEK 40 (51). Depreciation increased to MSEK -20 (-15) and EBIT thus amounted to MSEK 20 (36). Net financial items amounted to MSEK -12 (6), of which exchange rate differences corresponded to MSEK -6 (6). Profit before tax thus amounted to MSEK 8 (42).

In accordance with IFRS, the production assets are not recognised at market value, but at carrying amount. However, the company tests for impairment annually. In the impairment test in that was carried out in the third quarter of 2024, the value in use of the production assets exceeded the carrying amount by about MEUR 701) (60), which is included in the key performance indicator "Adjusted equity per share."

1) Based on a discount rate of 7.5%, the company's forecasts and energy price forecasts prepared by external experts. A change in the discount rate of +/- one percentage point would affect the value by almost MEUR 15.

He d g e d e le c tric ity p ric e s

On 31 December 2024, the company had no price hedges for the year ahead. The levels at which price hedging was possible during the quarter were not considered attractive and the company chose to have full exposure to market prices for the time being with the aim of utilising event-driven price increases for short-term price hedging in 2025.

Parent Company

The Parent Company's operations comprise project development (identifying suitable solar and wind power locations, signing land lease agreements, producing impact assessments, preparing detailed development plans and permits), divesting projects to external investors, contracts and project management of new projects, managing internal and external projects (technically and financially) and managing the Group's trading of electricity and guarantees of origin.

The Parent Company manages the Group's production plans and electricity hedges in accordance with the adopted financial policy.

During the fourth quarter, the Parent Company's total income amounted to MSEK 29 (14) and purchases of electricity, certificates and guarantees of origin, personnel and other external expenses, capitalised work on own account and depreciation of non-current assets totalled MSEK -51 (-43), resulting in EBIT of MSEK -22 (-29). Net financial income of MSEK 28 (777) resulted in net profit after tax of MSEK 6 (837). The corresponding period last year was impacted by a dividend received. The Parent Company's net investments, excluding dividend received, amounted to MSEK -27 (-55).

Outlook

We are in a market with a low-price environment with low demand driven by weather conditions and economic conditions. At the same time, the energy system in Europe is sensitive to increased demand or a reduced power supply. Increased demand and higher electricity prices are expected in the medium to long term, increasing the need for the most cost-efficient and realisable power sources. The company is well positioned with production of renewable electricity and a strong and diversified project portfolio. Accordingly, we see very good opportunities for continued growth and continued shareholder value creation. Our strong financial situation means that we have increased opportunities to maximise value creation in the business and also optimise our long-term income from both production and the project portfolio.
