| Renewables push | |
|---|---|
| Permitting is the bottleneck |
Structural permitting barriers persist, which implies that local expertise is key for development success |
| Price uncertainty | High short- and long-term energy prices continue to drive PPA prices to levels much higher than in the past, also propelling the expansion of DG We continue in a Sellers' Market |
| Softer supply chain disruptions |
Stabilization of the supply chain led to a sharp decrease in solar capex |
| High interest rates |
Profitability of RTB projects maintained in most markets as the increase in interest rates is offset by higher short- and long-term electricity prices |

The biomass segment kept its solid contribution, but less than in previous periods.
Lower results in biomass were compensated by the Utility-Scale segment, through the positive EBITDA contribution from operating PV assets and partial recognition of the gains from asset rotation transactions.
DG results were positively driven by the more mature operations in Portugal and in Italy, which were offset by a more difficult business in Spain and the ramp-up of new geographies.

| EBITDA of the 1H23 amounted to 38.3 €m, 4% above the 1H22, and was mostly driven by the performance of Utility Scale operating assets and the legacy biomass segment. The net loss1 of 3.0 €m was driven by (i) expected impacts from the ongoing investment effort and the timing of the asset rotation margins recognition and (ii) the non-cash effect of –10 €m from the exchange rate variation in the polish zloty2 |
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Strong liquidity position maintained with 728.5 €m in cash and unused credit lines at the end of the semester to support Greenvolt's continued effort to proceed with Business Plan development |
||||
| EBITDA from Biomass decreased 45% versus 1H22, mostly driven by the lower electricity prices in the UK and the scheduled outage in the TGP plant, which took longer than usual as per the scope of the annual maintenance plan and medium-term optimization initiative |
||||
| EBITDA of 17.5 €m was mostly impacted by positive EBITDA contribution from operating PV assets and the partial recognition of margins from asset rotation transactions, even though most of the total gains from current transactions will only be recognized over the second half of 2023 |
||||
| Despite the negative EBITDA of 3.6 €m, still a reflection of the acceleration efforts in new geographies (Greece and Poland) and a slower growth in the Spanish market due to political uncertainty, Portugal, Greenvolt's biggest and more established geography, has already yielded positive results. |
| Sale of more than 60 MW in Poland with more than 30 €m of sale margins to be recognized and mainly during the 2H23 |
Continuation of negotiations in more than one geography to reach the annual target of 200 MW sold |
|
|---|---|---|
| Upgrade of overall pipeline to 7.7 GW Increase in capacity to be developed until 2024 from 3.9 GW to 4.1 GW |
2.9 GW of capacity expected to be at least RTB by the end of 2023 |
|
| Entry in 2 new geographies, Italy and Greece |
Expansion of operations to new markets and breakeven expected by the end of the year |
|
| 87% increase in the number of MW installed over the semester Signed capacity under construction of 112 MW to be reflected in next quarters installations |
Installation pace expected to continue to increase, facilitated by higher signed contracts and the reinforcement of Greenvolt's installation capacity |
|
Continued optimization of the biomass plants' operational performance
Revenues increased by 25.7€m versus 1H22, mostly driven by a c.191% increase in the Utility Scale segment from the growth in capacity under operation as well as margins from asset sales.
DG continued to contribute to revenues acceleration with an 87% increase in installations when compared to the same period of last year.

EBITDA slightly increased, mostly impacted by the boost in the utility scale segment that compensated the lower performance of the Biomass business.
The DG segment was still negative in the semester. Despite the positive results presented in more mature geographies like Portugal and Italy, the segment is still reflecting the accelerating costs of new markets like Greece and Poland.

(Data in €m)

-45%
EBITDA

Portuguese biomass plants continued to show a strong performance, as in the first quarter, with load factor and availability both improving against the same semester last year.
Results in the UK plant were affected by declining electricity prices.

The biomass & Structure business unit is composed of 6 biomass plants in two geographies (Portugal and UK) and holding structure

The operational performance of the segment was mainly driven down by the scheduled outage of one month in TGP plant. This was partially offset by the continuous improvement in Portugal.

EBITDA
Greenvolt sold 58.6 MW of wind and solar assets, for an overall amount of 107 €m and signed an MoU for 8 MW of wind in 2Q23, both in Poland. Already during the 3Q23 Greenvolt sold 3 MW at RTB in Poland. Total contribution from asset rotation to 1H23 EBITDA was 11.6 €m, with the bulk of the gains from the above transactions to be registered in the second half of 2023.
Greenvolt reinforces its objective to sell 200 MW in 2023, having currently open negotiations in more the one Revenues geography.
Operating assets in the semester contributed with 16.2 €m to EBITDA, totalling 169 MW in operation in Poland, Romania and Portugal. This already includes Tábua, the first utility scale project developed by Greenvolt in Portugal, that started operations in the end of June.
Already during the 3rd quarter, Greenvolt signed long term PPA contracts with relevant off-takers in the United States (76 MW) and Greece (24 MW), while negotiations continue to proceed in other geographies.

1H23 Results reflect a negative contribution from MaxSolar, which is expected to revert during the second half of 2023 with the completion of sale processes currently in advanced stages.

04 Key Takeaways
| The market continues to be favourable to Greenvolt's strategy and operations mostly supported by the structural bottleneck on permitting and high short- and long-term electricity prices |
||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| In 1H23 Greenvolt presented an EBITDA of 38.3 €m and attributable net income of -3.0 €m, based upon: |
||||||
| Biomass positive results, but lower than 1H22, due to the lower electricity prices in the UK and the scheduled outage in TGP |
||||||
| Utility scale performance driven by 169 MW of assets in operation and, to a lesser extent, by margins from asset rotation transactions |
||||||
| Distributed Generation revenues increased 108% vs 1H22, consequence of the continued acceleration in installations. Results are still negative, despite the positive contribution of Portugal, due to ramp up costs in new geographies and a temporally slower market in Spain |
||||||
| Financial liquidity continues strong with available funds of more than 720 €m, with 73% of the debt at fixed rate |
||||||
| ✓ Biomass – Continue to improve operational performance both in Portugal and in the UK ✓ Utility Scale – Sales expected to continue during 2023 to reach the 200 MW target, and results of 2H23 to accelerate reflecting most of the margins achieved with the c. 59 MW sale in Poland – Continued effort on pipeline development to reach 2.9 GW at least RTB by the end of 2023 ✓ Distributed Generation – Additional growth and conclusion of installations to accelerate over 2H23, allowing results to breakeven by the end of the year |
