The timing and consequences of announced MACSE auctions were analysed, revealing a promising market opportunity for BESS project development

Total cash dividend of 300 MNOK paid to shareholders in 2024, amounting to NOK 4.561 per share.
398 MNOK distributed to shareholders in dividend shares in legacy business.
Magnora cancelled 1,070,854 treasury shares, amounting to 1.6% of the total number of shares.
Magnora allocates capital to where the company expects a return well above the cost of capital.
The capital structure is normally all equity based with substantial cash.
Taking into account the need for growth capital and expected future cash flows, excess capital will normally be returned to the shareholders through dividend, repayment of paid-in capital or share buybacks with subsequent cancelling of shares.
Such excess capital may include received earn-out payments related to past project sales, which upon receipt may lead to extraordinary dividend or capital return.

The legacy business was spun off into a separate publicly listed entity, thereby crystallising the value inherent in each business model

1 Most sales occur pre "ready-to-build" with significant advance payments and subsequent payments subject to milestones. We recognize revenue when these milestones are met 2 Solar PV and BESS in South Africa may trade below our guiding, but SA wind assets are in the high range. Due to costs and project size, developer margins are quite satisfactory in all asset classes. Certain assets in certain markets are also likely to trade above our guiding.
