Low volumes due to mild weather

In the first quarter of 2025, net revenue adj. was NOK 502m and EBIT adj. was NOK 174m, compared to NOK 550m and NOK 230m, respectively, in Q1 2024. Volume sold declined by 9% YoY due to temperatures above seasonal norms and approximately two degrees centigrade higher than in Q1 2024. This led to lower average consumption across all customer segments. The volume decline was the main contributor to the 9% decrease in net revenue YoY.

The Norwegian customer base developed well during the quarter, marked by an accelerating growth trend. The Consumer segment grew by 2 thousand deliveries in the quarter, with positive contributions from both the Fjordkraft and the Gudbrandsdal Energi brands. Meanwhile, the Business segment reached the milestone of 130 thousand deliveries and has recorded consecutive growth over the past four quarters, underscoring the stability and consistency of the segment. Mobile also saw a trend reversal, adding approximately 2 thousand subscribers during the quarter. In the Group's Nordic operations, growth was moderated by seasonally low demand for spot-based products, however, the trend throughout the quarter was positive.

On 30 April 2025, the Annual General Meeting approved the proposed dividend of NOK 3.00 per share, and the dividend was distributed on 12 May 2025.

Consumer

Volume sold was 2,730 GWh, a decrease of 8% from Q1 2024. The number of electricity deliveries in the Consumer segment increased by two thousand in the quarter, as a result of both increased sales and reduced churn compared to Q1 2024.

Net revenue adj. amounted to NOK 240m (NOK 265m), opex adj. amounted to NOK 159m (NOK 157m) and EBIT adj. amounted to NOK 81m (NOK 108m).

Business

At the end of the quarter, the Business segment comprised 131 thousand electricity deliveries, an increase of thousand deliveries from last quarter. The volume sold in the quarter was 2,166 GWh, a decrease of 9% compared to Q1 2024.

Net revenue adj. amounted to NOK 163m (NOK 174m), opex adj. amounted to NOK 77m (NOK 78m) and EBIT adj. amounted to NOK 86m (NOK 96m). Net revenue decreased YoY, driven by the volume reduction from higher temperatures, while net revenue margin per kWh increased YoY.

Nordic

The Nordic segment's customer portfolio decreased by four thousand deliveries in the quarter. The demand for spot products in Sweden and Finland is typically lower during the winter, and this affected sales also in this quarter. Volume sold was 452 GWh in the quarter, a decrease of 13% from Q1 2024, driven by mild weather and phase-out of legacy fixed price contracts.

Net revenue adj. amounted to NOK 59m (NOK 65m), opex adj. to NOK 55m (NOK 50m) and EBIT adj. amounted to NOK 4m (NOK 15m).

New Growth Initiatives

At the end of the quarter, the number of mobile subscribers was 113 thousand, while number of deliveries in AllRate, the group's service provider of rating and billing services, decreased by one thousand in the quarter. Alliance volume in the quarter was 1 118 GWh, which was a 3% reduction YoY.

Net revenue adj. in the New Growth Initiatives segment amounted to NOK 40m (NOK 46m). Opex adj. amounted to NOK 36m (NOK 35m) and EBIT adj. amounted to NOK 4m (NOK 11m).

Financials

Gross revenue amounted to NOK 4,285m (NOK 5,367), a decrease of 20%, due to electricity price development and reduced volume sold.

Adjusted net revenue amounted to NOK 502m (NOK 550m), a decrease of 9% YoY.

Adjusted operating expenses amounted to NOK 327m (NOK 320m).

Adjusted EBIT amounted to NOK 174m (NOK 230m) due to the factors described above.

Net financial income amounted to NOK -49m (NOK -54m).

Profit for the period amounted to NOK 56m (NOK 108m) in the quarter due to the factors described above.

Consolidated cash flow

Net cash from operating activities was NOK 67m (NOK -588m). Net cash used in investing activities was NOK -16m (NOK -26m). Net cash from financing activities was NOK 116m (NOK 389m).

Financial position

The total equity as of 31.03.2025 was NOK 1,663m (NOK 1,611m). The total capital as of 31.03.2025 was NOK 5,666m (NOK 6,918m).

Events after the reporting period

The annual general meeting of Elmera Group ASA was held on 30 April 2025. The proposed dividend of NOK 3.00 per share was approved by the general meeting.

There are no other significant events after the reporting period that have not been reflected in the consolidated financial statements.

Risks and uncertainties

The demand for electricity, electricity prices, customer churn and competition are the main uncertainties in a short-term perspective. The demand for electricity varies with i.a. weather conditions and temperature. Electricity prices are determined by supply and demand through Nordpool, the marketplace for electricity in the Nordics.

The Group is exposed to volume and profile risk on certain fixed price contracts in the Nordic segment. In events where consumption volumes or profile costs deviate significantly from expected levels, this might have a negative impact on the Group's results. The volume of fixed price contracts with profile risk was significantly reduced as from Q2 2023.

The Group is also exposed to volume and price risk on variable contracts. The sale of these contracts has been stopped in the Consumer segment, and a soft phase-out of the product has been initiated.

The Group's Norwegian brands are certified according to DNV's "Trygg Strømhandel", which will contribute to increased transparency and reduced risk.

Outlook

The Group's forward-looking statements are presented in the quarterly presentation.

The accounting policies applied in preparing these interim financial statements are consistent with those described in the previous annual report for the financial year 2024.

There are not any new or amended accounting standards or interpretations of which application is mandatory for reporting periods commencing 1 January 2025, that have had a material impact on these interim financial statements.

Use of estimates

The preparation of interim financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

In preparing these interim financial statements, the significant judgements made by management in applying the Group's accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024, except for defined benefit obligations. Present value of defined benefit obligations and the fair value of plan assets are at the end of each interim reporting period estimated by extrapolation of the pension expense in the latest annual actuarial valuation, and an estimate of actuarial gains and losses calculated using updated estimates for significant actuarial assumptions. In the annual financial statements however the present value of defined benefit obligations and the fair value of plan assets are estimated based on a complete set of annual actuarial valuations.

Comparative figures and reclassifications

The consolidated statements of profit or loss, comprehensive income, financial position, equity, cash flow and notes provide comparable information in respect of the previous periods. The following changes have been made in comparative figures in the Q1 2025 quarterly report:

Prior period adjustment of power purchase In Q3 2024 a prior period adjustment of power purchase was made due to an error in invoicing from Statkraft Energi AS. A significant proportion of the amount related to the period 2019-2022 and consequently the Equity balance and Trade and other payables as of 1 January 2023 was restated with NOKt 34 836. Comparative figures for Q1 2024 in the statement of financial position have been updated accordingly in these interim financial statements.

Presentation of accrued power purchase from Statkraft Energi AS

Part of the accrued power purchase from Statkraft Energi AS has in previous reporting been reported in Other current liabilities in the statement of financial position. From the Q3 2024 quarterly report and going forward all accrued power purchases from Statkraft Energi AS will be reported as Trade payables. Comparative figures have been reclassified to align with current presentation increasing Trade and other payables / decreasing. Other current liabilities with NOKt 203 407 at 31 March 2024.

Comparative figures in the statement of cash flow and note 10 have been updated accordingly.

Note 2 Segment information

Disaggregation of revenue from contracts with customers

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal financial reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker. The chief operating decision maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors examines the Group's performance from a type of services perspective. Segment performance is evaluated based on profit or loss and is measured consistently with profit or loss in the consolidated financial statements.

The Group's reportable segments under IFRS 8 - "Operating Segments" are therefore as follows:

  • Consumer segment Sale of electrical power and related services to private consumers in Norway.
  • Business segment Sale of electrical power and related services to business consumers in Norway.

Nordic segment - Sale of electrical power and related services to consumers in Finland and Sweden.

Information reported to the chief operating decision maker for the purposes of resource allocation and assessment of segment performance is focused on the category of customer for each type of activity. No operating segments have been aggregated in arriving at the reportable segments of the Group. The principal categories of customers are direct sales to private consumers, business consumers and alliance partners.

The segment profit measure is adjusted operating profit which is defined as operating profit earned by each segment without the allocation of: acquisition related costs and other one-off items, estimate deviations from previous periods, unrealised gains and losses on derivatives, impairment of intangible assets and cost to obtain contracts, depreciation of acquisitions, and change in provisions for onerous contracts. This is the measure reported to the chief operating decision maker for the purposes of resource allocation and assessment of segment performance. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as the Group's accounting policies.

All of the Group's revenue is from external parties and from activities currently carried out in Norway, Sweden and Finland. There are no customers representing more than 10 % of revenue.

The tables below is an analysis of the Group's revenue adjusted and operating profit adjusted by reportable segment. New growth initiatives comprise of other business activities (sale of EV chargers, PV panels, mobile services and power sale and related services to Alliance partners) which are not considered separate operating segments. Note 3 (Revenue recognition) shows the breakdown from Revenue adjusted to Total revenue.

Note 7 Trade receivables

Trade receivables are amounts due from customers for goods sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business. If collection of the amounts is expected in one year or less they are classified as current assets. Trade receivables are generally due for settlement within 30 days. No interest is charged on outstanding trade receivables, unless it is past due date.

The Group always measures the loss allowance for trade receivables at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit loss (ECL). For customers in the business segment, the expected credit losses on trade receivables are estimated using a provision matrix by grouping trade receivables based on reference to past default experience for the group of customers. For customers in the private segment, the expected credit losses on trade receivables are estimated by an individual assessment of each specific customer performed by the Group's Debt Collection Service provider.

There have been no changes in the estimation techniques or significant assumptions made during the current reporting period.

The Group writes off a trade receivable when there is information indicating that the debtor is in severe financial difficulty and there is no realistic prospect of recovery, e.g. when the debtor has been placed under liquidation or has entered into bankruptcy proceedings, or when the trade receivables are over one year past due, whichever occurs earlier. The trade receivables that have been written off are still subject to collection processes.

The following table details the loss allowance provision recognised in trade receivables:

Note 8 Derivatives and fair value measurement of financial instruments

Derivatives

All financial electricity derivatives are either financial customer contracts, or purchased for the purpose of hedging physical or financial customer contracts. Hence derivatives are only used for economic hedging purposes and not as speculative investments. However, where derivatives do not meet the hedge accounting criteria, they are classified as 'held for trading' for accounting purposes and are accounted for at fair value through profit or loss. Derivatives are presented as current assets or liabilities to the extent they are expected to be settled within 12 months after the end of the reporting period.

Derivatives and fair value measurement of financial instruments

Fair value measurements of financial instruments

This note explains the judgements and estimates made in determining the fair value of the financial instruments and firm commitments that are recognised and measured at fair value in the financial statements. The table below provides details for the Group's financial instruments measured at fair value. The Group also has financial instruments which are not measured at fair value in the statement of financial position. For the majority of these instruments, the fair value is not materially different to their carrying amounts, since the interest receivable/payable is either close to current market rates or the instruments are short-term in nature. Significant differencs between fair value and carrying amount at 31 March 2025 have not been identified.

To provide an indication about the reliability of the inputs used in determining fair value, the Group has classified its financial instruments into the three levels prescribed under the accounting standards. An explanation of each level follows below the table.

Note 8

Derivatives and fair value measurement of financial instruments

There were no transfers between level 1 and 2 for recurring fair value measurements during the period. The Group's policy is to recognise transfers into and transfers out of fair value hierarchy levels as at the end of the reporting period.

Level 1: The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets (such as publicly traded derivatives, and trading and available-for-sale securities) is based on quoted market prices at the end of the reporting period. The quoted market price used for financial assets held by the Group is the current bid price. These instruments are included in level 1.

Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example, over-the-counter derivatives) is determined using valuation techniques which maximise the use of observable market data and relies as little as possible on entity-specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in level 2.

Level 3: If one or more of the significant inputs to a fair value valuation are not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3.

Valuation techniques used to determine fair values

Specific valuation techniques used to value derivative financial instruments, in majority electricity derivatives, include present value of future cash flows based on forward power prices from Nasdaq Commodities at the balance sheet date. In the case of material longterm contracts, the cash flows are discounted at a discount rate calculated by using interest rates on Government bonds with matching maturities, added a risk premium of 0,2 percentage points. Valuation method is used for bilateral forward contracts and option contracts associated with purchase and sale of electricity. Key inputs to the valuation are expected power prices (Nordic system price and area prices in the power price areas in Norway, Sweden and Finland), contract prices and discount rates.

Level 3 inputs consists of expected power prices for delivery periods which there is no observable market price:

  • Nordic system price for delivery periods beyond the next 10 calendar years.
  • Area prices for price areas in Norway for delivery periods beyond the next 3 calendar years.
  • Area prices for price areas in Sweden and Finland for delivery periods beyond the next 4 calendar years.

The Group does not hold electricity derivatives with maturities beyond the next 10 calendar years at 31 March 2025, hence all level 3 derivatives are long term area price contracts.

Appendix

Alternative performance measures

The alternative performance measures (abbreviated APMs) that hereby are provided by the Group are a supplement to the financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS. The APMs are based on the guidelines for APM published by the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) on or after 3 July 2016. As indicated in the guidelines an APM is a financial measure of historical or future financial performance, financial position, or cash flows, other than a financial measure defined or specified in the applicable financial reporting framework. The performance measures are commonly used by analysts and investors.

The Group uses the following APMs (in bold). The words written in italics are included in the list of definitions or in the statement of profit or loss.

Cash EBIT is equivalent to Operating free cash flow before tax and change in Net working capital. This APM is used to illustrate the Group's underlying cash generation in the period.

Capex excl. M&A is used to present the capital expenditures excluding mergers and acquisitions to illustrate the Group's organic maintenance capex.

EBIT reported is equivalent to Operating profit and is used to measure performance from operational activities. EBIT reported is an indicator of the company's profitability.

EBIT adjusted

In order to give a better representation of underlying performance, the following adjustments are made to the reported EBIT:

  • Acquisition related costs and other one-off items: Items that are not part of the ordinary business
  • Estimate deviations from previous periods: A substantial proportion of the Group's power sales has historically been finally settled after the Group has finalised its periodical financial statements. Revenues related to sale of power were thus recognised based on estimates. Any estimate deviation related to the previous reporting period is recognised in the following reporting period
  • Unrealised gains and losses on derivatives: Consist of unrealised gains and losses on derivative financial instruments associated

with the purchase and sale of electricity

  • Impairment of intangible assets and cost to obtain contracts: Consist of impairment of intangible assets and cost to obtain contracts related to fixed price customer contracts
  • Depreciation of acquisitions: Consist of depreciations of customer portfolios acquired separately and recognised as intangible assets, and depreciations of customer portfolios and other intangible assets recognised as part of a business combination
  • Change in provisions for onerous contracts: Consist of change in provisions for onerous contracts associated with the purchase and sale of electricity

EBIT reported margin is EBIT divided by Net revenue. This APM is a measure of the profitability and an indicator of the earnings ability.

EBIT margin adjusted is calculated as EBIT adjusted divided by Net revenue adjusted. This APM is a measure of the profitability and an indicator of the earnings ability.

EBITDA is defined as operational profit/loss before depreciation and amortisation. This APM is used to measure performance from operating activities.

EBITDA adjusted

In order to give a better representation of underlying performance, the following adjustments are made to EBITDA:

  • Acquisition related costs and other one-off items: Items that are not part of the ordinary business
  • Estimate deviations from previous periods: A substantial proportion of the Group's power sales has historically been finally settled after the Group has finalised its periodical financial statements. Revenues related to sale of power were thus recognised based on estimates. Any estimate deviation related to the previous reporting period is recognised in the following reporting period
  • Unrealised gains and losses on derivatives: Consist of unrealised gains and losses on derivative financial instruments associated with the purchase and sale of electricity
  • Impairment of intangible assets and cost to obtain contracts: Consist of impairment of intangible assets and cost to obtain contracts related to fixed price customer contracts

Change in provisions for onerous contracts: Consist of change in provisions for onerous contracts associated with the purchase and sale of electricity

Net income is equivalent to Profit/(loss) for the period as stated in the statement of profit or loss.

Net income adjusted for certain cash and non-cash items is used in the dividend calculation, and defined as the following: [(Adjusted EBIT + net finance)*(1-average tax rate) – amortisation of acquisition debt].

Net interest-bearing debt (NIBD) shows the net cash position and how much cash would remain if all interest-bearing debt was paid. The calculation is total Long term interest-bearing debt, Short term interest-bearing debt and Overdraft facilities, deducted with the following; transaction costs recognised as part of amortised cost of Long term interest-bearing debt and Cash and cash equivalents.

Net revenue is equivalent to Revenue less direct cost of sales as stated in the statement of profit or loss.

Net revenue adjusted

This APM presents Net revenue adjusted for:

  • Other one-off items: which represents non-recurring income is recognised in the profit or loss for the period
  • Estimate deviations from previous periods: A substantial proportion of the Group's

power sales has historically been finally settled after the Group has finalised its periodical financial statements. Revenues related to sale of power were thus recognised based on estimates. Any estimate deviation related to the previous reporting period is recognised in the following reporting period

  • Unrealised gains and losses on derivatives: Consist of unrealised gains and losses on derivative financial instruments associated with the purchase and sale of electricity
  • Change in provisions for onerous contracts: Consist of change in provisions for onerous contracts associated with the purchase and sale of electricity

Net working capital (NWC) is used to measure short-term liquidity and the ability to utilise assets in an efficient matter. NWC includes the following items from current assets: Inventories, Intangible assets, Trade receivables and Other current assets (that is, all current assets in the statement of financial position except Derivative financial instruments and Cash and cash equivalents); and the following items from current liabilities; Trade payables, Current income tax liabilities, Social security and other taxes, Lease liability - short term, and other current liabilities.

Non-cash NWC elements and other items

is used when analysing the development in NIBD. Non-cash NWC relates to items included in "change in NWC" that are not affecting Net interest-bearing debt while other items include interest, tax, change in long-term receivables, proceeds from non-current receivables, proceeds from other long-term liabilities and adjustments made on EBITDA.

Number of deliveries is used to present the number of electrical meters supplied with electricity. One customer may have one or more electricity deliveries.

OpFCF before tax and change in NWC is Operating free cash flow and change in working capital, and is defined as EBITDA adjusted less Capex excl. M&A and payments to obtain contract assets.

Volume sold is used to present the underlying volume generating income in the period.
