2. Management Report

2.1 A Note from the Management Board

We are aware that the results published in this Q4 2023 report are not what we wished for and promised at the beginning of 2023. This was a challenging time, due to external and internal factors, which were changing over the course of the year to our detriment. In a year with a turbulent macroeconomic situation, high interest rates and declining energy prices we also experienced delays in the commissioning our new power plants in Romania, lower production yields and fierce competition in our Technology (PV component distribution) segment. The integration of Lerta also proved to be a challenging task, and filling the CFO vacancy took longer than anticipated.

Despite all these adversities, we managed to achieve the largest increase in generation capacity in the history of Photon Energy Group with overall 35.4 MWp commissioned within a year, 3.8 MWp commissioned in January 2024 and a further 12.4 MWp technically completed and in the commissioning process. Our sustainable core business has expanded while recurring revenues have increased and smoothed out energy generation seasonality. We have more than doubled our external EPC business and added new predictable Demand Side Response (DSR) revenues of EUR 7.7 million.

At the end of 2023 we made a strategic decision to return to feedin-tariffs in the Czech Republic and Hungary, to mitigate the risk of expected low energy prices and its potential impact on the Group's profitability. This provides a guaranteed revenue stream and hence protection from further energy market price fluctuations.

In Q4 2023, our revenues declined by 45.5 % YoY to EUR 14.914 million. There were positive developments on the revenues mix with a EUR 11.8 million combined contribution from the New Energy, Engineering and O&M segments, which however could not compensate for the drop in Technology revenues by EUR 18.9 million.

We have initiated negotiations for the sale of 32 MWp from our Polish project pipeline, and 54 MWp from our Romanian project pipeline. We expect to complete these transactions in Q1 and Q2 this year, having sold 2.3 MWp of project rights at the end of Q4 2023.

In the Engineering segment, we have booked significantly higher personnel and other administrative costs in Q4 2023 resulting from a reversal of accruals made in Q3 2023 in relation to work in progress on the second batch of our Romanian power plants.

In our investment portfolio we recognized a significant increase in the value of our investment in RayGen in the total amount of EUR 8.8 million, which relates to the appreciation of our equity stake and share options.

With the initiatives undertaken during the course of the last year, and Q4 in particular, we feel well prepared to seize on the opportunities emerging in front of us in the year 2024. We expect to bring a financial turnaround this year and provide our stakeholders with more positive news than last year.

2.2 Comments to the Consolidated Financial Results of the Group, in Q4 2023.

Detailed comments can be found in section 5. Comments to Q4 2023 Consolidated Financial Statements.

2.3 Comments on the Full-year 2023 Guidance

At the publication of Q3 2023 results, Management updated the full-year guidance as follows:

  • ► the consolidated revenues to come within a range of EUR 75-80 million.
  • ► EBITDA of EUR 10 million to be delivered on condition that the sales negotiations for the Group's portfolio of Polish PV projects will be concluded in Q4 2023.

In line with the published unaudited financial results for Q4 2023, the unaudited consolidated revenues for the year 2023 were EUR 74.369 million, 0.8% below the lower threshold of the guided range.

The EBITDA guidance was conditional on the completion of sales negotiations for Polish project rights; This has been only partly achieved and therefore resulted in the shortfall against guidance. Negotiations for the sale of the remaining portfolio are continuing and we expect them to be concluded by the end of Q1 2024.

2.4 Summary of Key Events Material for Operations in the Reporting Period

In the management's view the most important events which influenced the Group's operations and consolidated financial results as well as the financial position as of 31.12.2023 include:

Electricity Generation in Q4 2023 increased 32.4% YoY

The generation results of the proprietary portfolio in Q4 2023 came in at 24.6 GWh, up by 32.4% YoY, but 9.3% below the energy forecasts. This was mainly related to the delays in the commissioning process of the first batch of 31.5 MWp power plants in Romania and a lower annual specific yield which declined from 50.6 to 49.1 kWh/kWp. Those power plants which were connected only at the end of Q3 2023 i.e. Făget 1 and Săhăteni, produced less than expected during their start-up phase due to some technical issues which had to be resolved. Additionally, weather conditions with cloudy days and heavy snow were the main factors behind weaker performance of our generation assets.

Electricity Prices remained under pressure in Q4 2023 compared to Q4 2022.

Electricity prices on the day-ahead market declined on all markets where we were selling electricity on a merchant basis. In Hungary, average energy prices declined 57.8% YoY from 226.0 EUR/MWh in Q4 2022 to 95.3 EUR/MWh in Q4 2023. In Romania, prices declined 57.3% YoY from 225.5 EUR/MWh in Q4 2022 to 96.3 EUR/MWh in Q4 2023. In the Czech Republic, average spot energy prices declined 57.8% YoY from 205.3 EUR/MWh in Q4 2022 to 86.7 EUR/MWh in Q4 2023. It is worth mentioning that the average realised prices by the Group's portfolio in the Czech Republic amounted to 609 EUR/MWh in Q4 2023, which is significantly above market levels thanks to the green bonus scheme.

In Q4 2022, no negative prices occurred in the day-ahead markets in Hungary and Romania. In contrast, in the comparable period of 2023, negative prices were recorded in all markets. In Hungary, 10 hours were negative, representing about 0.5% of all hours in the period. In the Czech Republic the number was 28 hours, or about 1.3% of all hours in the period under consideration. In Romania the number was 3 hours, or about 0.1% of all hours in the period under consideration. However, due to the revenue model in Romania,

which post-commissioning is based on daily averages, these negative prices have no impact on generated revenues.

In Australia the situation was similar, although it was a different season of the year. Trends on the electricity markets deteriorated compared to Q4 2022. In Q4 2023, average electricity prices observed in the NSW market amounted to 65.9 AUD/MWh (39.5 EUR/MWh) compared to 115.7 AUD/MWh (75.2 EUR/MWh), which translated into a decline of 43.0% YoY.

Construction works on the Second Batch of 20.1 MWp in Romania remain on track.

The first power plant of the second batch - Faget 2 (3.9 MWp) was connected to the grid in December 2023. The second plant in Bocsa (3.8 MWp) was commissioned in January 2024. With regards to the remaining three power plants: Faget 3, Magureni and Sarulesti (with a combined capacity of 12.4 MWp), construction has been completed. In case of the first two we are in the process of approval of the connection protocol by the respective DSOs. With regards to the fifth project in Sarulesti, which will have a capacity of 3.2 MWp, the DSO needs to execute reinforcement works related to a strengthening of the power line. This has not happened yet, hence the final connection works and energising the plant is expected to take place at the verge of Q1 and Q2 2024.

EBRD's Approval received for up to EUR 15.0 Million financing facility for Romanian projects

On 24 January 2024, the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) approved a senior loan of up to EUR 15 million to finance the timely completion of power plants which are currently under construction, as well as the commencement of construction works on new ready-to-build projects in Romania. Other objectives of this financing facility relate to research and development costs for Photon Energy's Virtual Power Plant software platform and working capital related to capacity market collaterals. The EBRD loan is part of the funding provided by the European Union.

EBRD financing is expected to effectively close the funding gap, allowing for the timely completion of our Romanian solar projects in a situation where project-based financing is not yet easily available. The detailed loan agreement is currently under negotiations.

Divestment of Projects From Our Development Pipeline

In Poland, we have made further progress on the divestment process of PV project rights, and we have signed a sale and development agreement with a subsidiary of INWE Group, a Polish investment firm. On the basis of this agreement, we sold rights to the 2.3 MW PV Project in Złoczew and agreed to the provision of project development services to bring the project to the RTB stage by mid-2024. Photon Energy Group and INWE Group are also in advanced stages of negotiations regarding a comprehensive agreement for the sale and final development of Photon Energy Group's pipeline of small- and mid-sized PV projects, which have a total capacity of up to 11.5 MW AC. The completion of these negotiations is expected in Q1 2024.

We are also in negotiations with another counterparty for a sale of 20.4 MWp project rights in Poland and expect to conclude this process in Q1/Q2 2024.

In Romania, we are continuing negotiations to dispose of project rights to a 54 MWp PV project. This process is expected to be completed by mid-year 2024.

This project rights divestment fits with our long-term strategy, which assumes value creation at various stages of the lifecycle of photovoltaic assets and will enable The Group to redeploy capital to other opportunities.

Further Increase in O&M Contract Capacities

In Q4 2023, new PV capacities acquired under Operations & Maintenance (O&M) contracts amounted to 132 MWp compared to 59 MWp in Q4 2022. The total capacity under O&M contracts reached nearly 680 MWp, including 127 MWp of proprietary power plants, and has increased by 77.3% year-on-year. The total capacity under O&M contracts consists of 629 MWp under full O&M contracts and an additional 51 MWp provided as "Inverter Cardio" services focused on the maintenance of central inverters.

An additional 24 MWp were added in January 2024, mainly in the Romanian market, bringing the total of O&M contracts above 700 MWp.

2.5 Summary of Events Material for the Groups Operations after the Reporting Period.

Return to Feed-in-tariffs in the Czech Republic and Hungary

As announced following the publication of our Q3 2023 report, our Czech portfolio has been switched from the green bonus system back to the feed-in-tariff (FIT) for the year 2024. The same decision has been taken regarding our Hungarian portfolio, and this change is currently in the process of being implemented. Our decision to return to feed-in tariffs in these markets in 2024, amidst declining electricity prices in 2023, indicates a strategic approach to mitigate the risk of low energy prices and its impact on the Group's profitability. FITs provide a guaranteed revenue stream, providing protection from current energy market price fluctuations.

As a result of this decision, since 1 January 2024 all power plants in the Czech Republic have returned to the FIT system out of which 795 kWp are entitled to a FIT in the amount of 684 EUR/MWh while the remaining 14.2 MWp will receive a FIT of 637 EUR/MWh throughout 2024.

With regards to our Hungarian portfolio, 46.2 MWp is currently selling electricity on the energy market, while 5.6 MWp remained in the support scheme benefiting from a FIT of 122 EUR/MWh as of 1 January 2024.

The decision to return to the FIT system is possible thanks to Government Decree No 787/2021 (XII.27.), published on 27 December 2021, which came into effect on 1 January 2022, and which allows PV power plants to temporarily exit the support schemes and then return to the respective support schemes at any time after a 12 month period. In the case of Photon Energy Group's assets, the 12-month period has passed on 1 April 2023. Given the uncertainties on the energy market, the formal application process to return to the support system has been initiated and will make the power plants eligible for the FiT by 1 April or 1 May. The exact level of support still needs to be confirmed by the market regulator, but it will be materially above current electricity price levels and forward electricity prices.

The Management Board has carried out a thorough analysis of the risks and benefits associated with returning to the FIT system in both markets and has concluded that such a rebalancing of the revenue model of the IPP portfolio is the highest risk-adjusted value solution for the Group.

Appointment of David Forth as New Group CFO

The Board of Directors has appointed David Forth as Group Chief Financial Officer, effective 1 February 2024. David Forth has taken over this position from Georg Hotar, the Chief Executive Officer of the Group, who assumed the responsibilities of Interim CFO on 12 May 2023, and will report directly to the Board of Directors of Photon Energy Group. Mr. Forth, a British Chartered Accountant with a Degree in Law, has extensive international management experience.

Notable positions include Finance Director of BP's Consumer Products Division and senior finance roles at BAT, Schneider and Adecco. As an interim manager, David held key positions at high profile companies such as Costa Coffee and Dr Martens; and more recently at two companies listed on the London Stock Exchange, Cake Box and Eurowag. Eurowag's business is focused in the Czech Republic, Poland, Hungary, Romania and Slovakia.

In his new role as CFO of the Photon Energy Group, Mr. Forth will focus his efforts on the development of a financial strategy to address the business growth opportunities that Photon Energy Group is currently pursuing while ensuring that the Group's financial position remains strong to deliver this strategy for shareholder value creation in line with ESG principles.

Signing the First 20-year On-site Power Purchase Agreement for 13.5 GWh

In January 2024, we entered into a 20-year power purchase agreement (PPA) with FORVIA Clarion Hungary, to develop, build, own and operate a 630 kWp solar PV power plant on the customer's premises in Hungary. The PV installation will generate approximately 13.5 GWh of clean electricity over the duration of the contract, which will contribute to an estimated CO2e emissions reduction of 3,670 tonnes.

Clarion Hungary, a subsidiary of the global automotive technology leader FORVIA, will purchase 100% of the energy produced by the power plant upon its completion.

The turnkey solution will support the client's ambitious global onsite PV roll-out and commitment to a reduced carbon footprint, while materially lowering its energy costs in the long term.

This agreement represents another milestone for Photon Energy, further strengthening our position in the Hungarian market and expanding our offering to the industrial sector.

Extension of Contract with the Australian Government until 30 April 2024.

Photon Energy Group has extended a formal contract with the Australian Government, Department of Defence. This relates to our propriety in-situ electrochemical nano-remediation technology solutions for PFAS and other contaminants in groundwater. The contract extension allows for Defence to completely review the trial conclusions and identify opportunities for further application of the technology.

Separately, we have started laboratory trials with the University of Technology, Sydney, on insitu remediation of PFAS contaminated soil. These trials are being undertaken on soil and biosoilds supplied by the Department of Defence and are an extension of PhD research work undertaken by Photon Energy Group's lead PFAS technical specialist, Dr Namuun Ganbat. It is planned to move this research into a pilot scale site trial by Q3, 2024.

Expansion of EPC portfolio in Australia by 21 MWp

In Australia we have managed to sign EPC contracts for a total installed capacity of 21 MWp. We expect to break ground on those projects in Q1 2024 and more details will be announced soon in a joint press released with the counterparty.

O&M contracts

As of the end of Q4 2023, the total capacity under Operations & Maintenance contracts reached nearly 680 MWp, and has increased by 77.3% year-on-year. This consists of 629 MWp under full O&M contracts and an additional 51 MWp provided as "Inverter Cardio" - services focused on maintenance of central inverters.

The capacity acquired in Q4 2023 amounted to 132 MWp compared to 59 MWp in Q4 2022.

New Energy Division

The New Energy division, which results from our acquisition of Lerta, has two main revenue streams which are Demand Side Response (DSR) and Origination and Trading (O&T).

DSR, which is a capacity market remuneration mechanism, represent a relatively predictable stream of cash flows contracted with the Polish Transmission System Operator (PSE). It provides In January we recorded further growth in our O&M portfolio, primarily in the Romanian market, where approximately 23 MWp were added under full O&M contracts, bringing the portfolio to a total of 652 MWp. With this and other small projects added in Hungary and Poland, our total O&M portfolio exceeded the threshold of 700 MWp as of January 2024, continuing a positive, expansive trend since the beginning of 2023.

payment for being on standby for reducing energy consumption upon request of PSE and hence flexibility to the grid. This is done by aggregating flexible loads (commercial and industrial energy consumers) on the Polish market.

In Q4 2023, the total capacity contracted for DSR services amounted to 134 MW.

Chart 3.7 Realized DSR Revenues (EUR thousand) Chart 3.8 DSR Contracted Capacities, in MW.

The prices contracted for Q4 2023 amounted to 203 PLN/MW per year in the Main Auction (MA) and an average of 364 PLN/MW per year in the Additional Auctions. Comparing quarter by quarter it is visible that prices realized in Q1 and Q4 are the highest, while

Chart 3.9 Prices contracted in MA and AA, in PLN/MW per year Chart 3.10 Assets Aggregated in Virtual Power Plant.

The second stream of revenues of the New Energy Division is electricity off-take from renewable energy producers and trading it on the day-ahead energy market as well as supplying it to energy users. The Group is actively trading electricity in Hungary and the Czech Republic. In Q4 2023, the total volume of electricity traded

in both markets amounted to nearly 31.1 GWh and was nearly half of the levels seen in Q3 2023.

Other operational highlights in the reporting period include a dynamic growth of available DSR capacity (contracts with flexible end users) during the reporting period.

Engineering and EPC contracts

The engineering arm of Photon Energy Group has been focused in Q4 on both internal projects as well as external EPC business with commercial and industrial (C&I) clients.

As for the internal business, we have technically completed the construction of the second batch of 20.1 MWp in Romania and have started the process of commissioning and energizing these power plants. One power plant with the capacity of 3.9 MWp in Faget was commissioned in December 2023. For more details on the remaining power plants and the work-in-progress please refer to the chapter Photon's Energy project pipeline.

Technology Trading

Since the beginning of 2023 we have observed a significant slowdown in the PV sector with excess supply and fierce competition in our component distribution business resulting in much slower sales activity and less volume traded.

In Australia, our external EPC business has been flourishing where an additional EUR 1.9 million of EPC projects were completed in Q4 2024. We commenced negotiations for 1.7 MWp of multisite PV installations covering four industrial warehouses for a commercial client.

We have initiated preliminary works on a series of projects totalling 4 MWp for a major Australian Listed retailer. This marks the commencement of a broader strategic partnership aimed at assisting the customer in achieving their sustainability objectives over the long term.

The biggest declines occurred in the battery segment, where the demand contracted, and volumes declined over 70% due to weaker household demand in the Czech Republic. Similarly, the volume of PV modules nearly halved.

Photon Energy's project pipeline

Project development is a crucial activity in Photon Energy's business model of covering the entire value chain of PV power plants. The main objective of project development activities is to expand the PV proprietary portfolio, which provides recurring revenues and free cash flows to the Group. For financial or strategic reasons Photon Energy may decide to cooperate with third-party investors either on a joint-venture basis or with the goal of exiting the projects to such investors entirely. Ownership of project rights provides Photon Energy with a high level of control and allows locking in EPC (one-off) and O&M (long-term) services. Hence, project development is a key driver for Photon Energy's future growth. The Group's experience in project development and financing in various markets and jurisdictions is an important competitive advantage and mitigates the inherent risks related to project development. Projects currently developed by the Photon Energy group are presented in the table below.

Chart 3.13 Project pipeline as of 31.12.2023, in MWp DC

During the reporting period the following changes took place in the project development pipeline:

► Further progress has been made on the construction works of five power plans in the second set of power plants in Romania, with a total capacity of 20.1 MWp. In December the first power plant Faget 2 (3.9 MWp) was grid connected and stated generating electricity as of January 2024. After the reporting period i.e. on 1 February 2024, the second power plant Bocsa (3.8 MWp) was commissioned and energized feeding electricity to the grid. Remaining power plants with the capacity of 12.4 MWp remain on track.

Our project development pipeline in Romania has been further increased, as new projects with a total capacity of 6.5 MWp have been signed and the feasibility phases initiated.

In Q4 2023 we continued negotiations of our largest utilityscale solar project in Romania, with the total capacity of 54 MWp. Our local development team secured the building permit on this project in Q4 2023 and is currently working through the remaining milestones towards the ready-to-build stage. The negotiations are expected to be completed by mid-2024.

  • ► In Hungary, there have been no changes in the total capacity under development, though multiple projects were submitted to the capacity application tender in January 2024 and shall be resolved in Q1 2024.
  • ► In Poland, we signed a sales and development agreement with a subsidiary of Pracownia Finansowa Grupa INWE, on the basis of which we transferred the project rights for 2.3 MWp and agreed to provide further development services to bring the project to the ready-to-build stage. More details can be found here.

We also continue negotiations with another third party for the sale of 20.4 MWp from our Polish portfolio. The execution of this transaction is expected to be concluded in Q1/Q2 2024.

► No changes have been reported in the pipeline in Australia.

DC and AC capacity Electricity grids run on alternating current (AC). Solar modules produce direct current (DC), which is transformed into AC
by inverters. Heat, cable lines, inverters and transformers lead to energy losses in the system between the solar modules
and the grid connection point. Cumulatively system losses typically add up to 15-20%. Therefore, for a given grid connection
capacity a larger module capacity (expressed in Watt peak – Wp) can be installed without exceeding the grid connection
limit. At times of extremely high production, inverters can reduce the volume of electricity so that the plant stays within the
grid connection limits.

5. Comments to Q4 2023 Consolidated Financial Statements

Profit and Loss Statement

In Q4 2023, our unaudited consolidated revenues amounted to EUR 14.914 million, compared to EUR 27.351 million a year earlier, down by 45.5% YoY. Unaudited revenues from electricity generation amounted to EUR 2.743 million and contracted by 28.2% YoY, mainly due to lower average realised electricity prices, which declined 36.7% YoY, from EUR 210 / MWh in Q4 2022 to EUR 133 / MWh in Q4 2023. Electricity generation increased to 24.5 GWh (+32.4% YoY) but was still not sufficient to compensate for declining electricity prices.

Other unaudited revenues also shrunk from EUR 23.530 million in Q4 2022 to EUR 12.170 million in the reporting period, down by 48.3% YoY, mainly due to weaker volumes in our PV technology trading business. Other segments performed better than a year ago, with higher revenues mainly due to new energy and slight increase in O&M contracted capacities.

Unaudited consolidated EBITDA dropped 75.5% YoY to EUR 0.357 million compared to EUR 1.456 million a year earlier. Unaudited EBIT swung from a positive of EUR 2.081 million in Q4 2022 to a negative EUR 4.066 million in the reporting period. The Group's operating profitability, apart from the contraction of margins in the energy generation segment, was also negatively impacted by deterioration of margins in PV component trading. Personnel costs increased significantly in the reporting quarter due to reversals of accruals made in previous quarters following a review of work in progress related to the own projects.

Depreciation increased 121.0% YoY to EUR 3.589 million in Q4 2023 compared to EUR 1.624 million a year earlier. This increase is related to two factors: i) the addition of 34.5 MW power plants in Romania and ii) depreciation of DSR contracts of EUR 1.4 million, resulting from the inclusion of Lerta DSR contracts in intangible assets.

The bottom line was negatively impacted by higher interest expense, amounting to EUR 3.101 million in Q4 2023, up by +12.1% YoY, related mainly to increased project financing, up by 29.246 million YoY. The Group holds share options and an equity stake in RayGen. RayGen has been negotiating further round of equity financing, which raises the value of both our options and equity. The increase in value of our share options in RayGen resulted in revaluation of derivatives of EUR 3.172 million (out of that EUR 2.967 million related to Raygen itself).

The Group recorded an unaudited net loss of EUR 4.848 million, compared to a loss of EUR 0.291 million in Q4 2022.

Other comprehensive income was positively impacted by the revaluation of our newly connected Romanian power plants in the amount of EUR 6.849 million related partially to Faget 2 (3.9 MWp) and partially to the revaluation of Hungarian power plants upon changing the pricing model from merchant to FIT. The increase in value of the RayGen shares resulted in a revaluation of other investments in the amount of EUR 5.834 million. Against this there was a negative foreign currency translation of EUR 2.437 million and negative revaluation of hedging derivatives related to the interest rate swapson Czech, Slovak, Romaninan and Hungarian SPVs and FX options related to the Czech SPVs of EUR 3.401 million. Total comprehensive income in Q4 2023 was EUR 2.010 million.

Balance Sheet

At the end of the reporting period, total non-current assets amounted to EUR 225.744 million, representing an absolute increase of EUR 36.484 million and a change of 19.3% YoY, compared to the level of EUR 189.259 million at the end of 2022. This was primarily driven by the growing value of our proprietary portfolio related to the commissioning of new PV plants with a total capacity of 35.4 MWp as well as work-in-progress related to the second batch of power plants in Romania. The total PPE balance has increased by a net amount of EUR 28.978 million. An increase of EUR 9.577 million in other non-current financial assets is primarily related to combined impact of derivatives and our equity revaluation related to RayGen of EUR 8.801 million.

Current assets decreased 19.6% YoY, to a total of EUR 51.924 million, down by EUR 12.622 million compared to the end of 2022. This decrease was mainly caused by lower inventories, trade

Changes in Equity

Equity increased to a total of EUR 71.424 million, up by EUR 0.949 million YoY. Changes reflect the negative results of operations during year 2023 (EUR -11.988 million) which was offset by the positive revaluation reserve in the amount of EUR 13.515 million.

Cash Flow

The Group posted a positive operating cash flow in Q4 2023 in the amount of EUR 8.978 million, compared to a negative amount of EUR 0.743 million in Q4 2022, mainly thanks to positive working capital developments i.e. decrease of trade and other receivables by EUR 9.548 million and a decrease of inventories by EUR 1.217 million.

Investment cash flow equalled EUR 7.553 million in Q4 2023 compared to EUR 16.770 million in Q4 2022, due to the expenses related to the construction of power plants in Romania and other projects related costs.

Business Segments Analysis

After Q4 2023 the revenue mix looked very balanced compared to the previous year, with Engineering and New Energy segments both contributing to the consolidated revenues approximately 27% each, compared to 13% and 0% respectively, in 2022. Technology trading contributed 21% to the consolidated revenues compared to 54% last year. Investment segment generated 19% of consolidated revenues compared to 29% last year and O&M increased from 4% last year to 6% in 2023. As far as the growth of revenues is receivables and liquid assets but was partially offset by higher other receivables, related to VAT receivables.

Non-current liabilities increased 15.6% YoY to EUR 173,215 million compared to the end of 2022. This increase is primarily related to the increase in bank financing (up by EUR 20.058 million) related to the refinancing of our Romanian power plants and the increased amount of the outstanding Green Bond (EUR 2.5 million placed in Q1 2023 and bought back in the amount of EUR 0.510 million in Q3 2023), and higher lease liabilities (EUR 1.425 million).

Current liabilities amounted to EUR 33.028 million and decreased by 0.511 million compared to the end of 2022, as a net results of increased of short-term bank financing (EUR 9.189 million) and decrease of outstanding CZK bond by EUR 3.141 million, lower trade and other payables as well as other contracted liabilities by EUR 6.102 million in total.

The adjusted equity ratio decreased to 28.5%, (defined as total equity divided by total capital, being the sum of interest-bearing debt and equity) compared to 32.0% at the end of 2022, remaining above the required bond covenant level of 25%.

Financial cash flow was negative and amounted to EUR 2.145 million in Q4 2023, compared to a positive amount of EUR 14.831 million in Q4 2022. On the positive site the Group has recognized EUR 4.012 million proceeds from the sale of gold and increase of bank financing in the amount of EUR 3.280 million. On the other hand the repayment of the Czech bond (EUR 3.499 million) and other borrowings (EUR 2.994 million) had a negative impact on the financial cash flow.

Overall, cash and cash equivalents decreased by EUR 5.433 million to EUR 5.838 million compared to EUR 11.270 million at the end of 2022.

concerned, Engineering revenues nearly doubled YoY reaching EUR 30.3 million, thanks to new capacities added to our proprietary portfolio in Romania and external EPC business for commercial and industrial clients in Australia. Also New Energy contributed significantly to consolidated revenue growth in 2023 with approximately EUR 29.6 million. O&M segment recorded a growth of 22.3%YoY and contributing EUR 6.2 million to consolidated revenues. On the other hand, Technology trading and Investments declined from EUR 64.9 million to EUR 23.9 million and from EUR 35.3 million to EUR 21.4 million, respectively YoY.

At the EBITDA level, the picture looks somewhat mixed, with the still significant contribution of the Investment segment, which, thanks to the highest EBITDA margin, is still a major driver of the Group's profitability. Due to declining electricity prices the margins declined from 79% to 73% YoY. Other segments which posted positive developments in the reporting period include Engineering, which completed and thus invoiced most of its revenues related to internal projects. However, as we wrote in Q3 2023 some of the costs have been delayed hence margins in Q3 were overstated and corrected downwards in Q4 2023 with the accrual reversal described in the same section on Profits and Loss Statement.

In Technology trading we have observed further deterioration of margins resulting in an annual average EBITDA margin of 4%, down from 10% in 2022. The O&M segment remained in the negative zone, which can be explained by losses realised on contracts in Poland (start-up losses related to market entry) and the Czech Republic, where part of contractual revenues is linked to electricity prices, thus declining electricity prices and adversely impacted margins.
