DISCLAIMER

This document has been prepared by Soltec Power Holdings, S.A. ("Soltec" or "Company") exclusively for use during the financial results presentation for the six-month period closed on June 30th, 2024. Therefore, this document may not be disclosed or published, nor used by any other person or entity, for any other reason without the express and prior written consent of Soltec. Neither Soltec, nor its subsidiaries or other companies of the Soltec group or companies in which Soltec has a stake, assume liability of any kind, regardless of whether or not negligence or any other circumstance occurs, regarding the damages or losses that may arise from any use of this document or its contents.

The financial information contained in this document has been subject to a limited scope review by EY in connection with its semi-annual audit.

The businesses included in each of our geographic segments and the accounting principles under which their results are presented here may differ from the businesses included and the local accounting principles applicable in our subsidiaries in those geographies. Consequently, the results of operations and trends shown for our geographic segments may differ materially from those of such subsidiaries.

This document contains certain financial measures of the Company that are not based on International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), but rather on its accounting records, which the Company considers as alternative performance measures (APMs) as defined in the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) Guidelines on Alternative Performance Measures of 5 October 2015. Accordingly, the APMs have not been and will not be audited or reviewed by our auditors.

DISCLAIMER

The Company understands that alternative performance measures should be considered by users of financial information as complementary to the magnitudes presented in accordance with the presentation bases of the consolidated annual accounts, but in no case as substitutes for them. The Company is not responsible for the decisions that users make based on alternative performance measures. These measures should not be considered as alternatives to those established in accordance with IFRS, have a limited use as analysis tools, should not be considered in isolation, and may not be indicative of operating results.

Other companies, including some in our industry, may calculate such measures differently, reducing their usefulness for comparison purposes. The audited semi-annual and annual Results Report issued by the Company and this document include a list and definition of alternative performance measures (APMs).

The definition and classification of the backlog and pipeline (project portfolio) of the industrial division and photovoltaic project development division may not necessarily be the same as that used by other companies engaged in similar businesses. Therefore, Soltec's estimated pipeline capacity may not be comparable to the estimated pipeline capacity disclosed by those other companies. Likewise, given the dynamic nature of the pipeline, Soltec's pipeline is subject to both changes without notice and based on certain projects classified in a certain pipeline category, as previously identified, they could be reclassified in another pipeline category or could be discontinued in case of unexpected events, which may be beyond Soltec's control and will be periodically reported in communications relating to business operational information.

  • Cash constraints derived from Bill and Hold contracts, has impacted project execution, generating cost overrun and triggering Liquidated Damages for delays.
  • Liquidated Damages as of 06.30.24 are reflected as a decrease in revenue recognition for the affected projects. In turn, when the project margin is already negative, the difference between the revenue adjustment made and the total penalty is recorded as a higher project cost under the onerous contract concept.
  • To provide the EBT of our tracker division without the above non recurrent impacts, the group is not considering nonoperating risks related to the actual business situation. In this case, Soltec has not considered 3,776 k€ of LDs and 763 k€ regarding onerous contracts.
  • The difference between Adjusted EBITDA and EBITDA is due to the adjustment made for losses and provisions incorporated at 30-06-2024.

Revenues: €5.7M (-€4.1M YoY) due to a slowdown in project sales.

Adjusted EBITDA: -€1.0M (vs. -€1.3M in H1 2023), including:

Development EBITDA: -€3.2M, impacted by lower project rotation. •Asset Management EBITDA: €2.2M, mainly due to asset impairments.

Asset Impairments: The Araxá and Pedranópolis plants (225 MW, Brazil) were significantly impaired due to lower-than-expected returns and a reassessment of their market value. These assets were developed and built during a period of high inflation, supply chain disruptions, and component shortages, leading to higher construction costs. However, current market conditions, including lower energy prices and rising interest rates, have reduced their valuation, requiring an impairment adjustment. This major impact is considered non-recurring for the business.

SYNDICATED FACILITY RESTRUCTURING

(Trackers division)

  • RCF was accelerated in September 2024 as a result of one of the lenders decision not to extend its maturity.
  • As a consequence of that, Soltec had to call for pre insolvency according to Bankruptcy law article 585, in order to start negotiations with lenders for the restructuring of the facility.
  • Soltec was granted an extension of the initial three-month period until 26th of March 2025 and is advancing the discussions with lenders in order to reach an agreement

STRATEGIC PLAN

BACK TO A VALUE GENERATING BUSINESSES

Core Business Focus approach

  • Soltec value proposition is to i) focus on its core business (tracker supply), executing a transformational plan to optimize operating costs and enhance margins , ii) discontinue the construction activities that have been dragging cash and profitability, and iii) divest the operating energy assets.
  • In parallel, maintain adjacent activities as value accelerator (project development to generate cash and provide backlog to the tracker business) and value assurer (O&M).
  • Aim is to focus on non-capital-intensive businesses and cash generation to reduce debt and increase value creation over time.
