2. Management Report

2.1 A Note from the Management Board

After a very strong financial year 2022 on the back of high energy prices, 2023 has to date turned out to be a very challenging year in many of our key business areas. These include, but are not limited to, much lower energy prices than anticipated; delays in the commissioning our new power plants in Romania as a downside of our pioneering role in this promising but challenging market; and lower production yields due to unfavourable weather conditions. Additionally, a significant slowdown in the PV sector combined with excess supply and fierce competition in our component distribution business resulted in an overall negative impact on our financial results.

This is not the first time in our history that we have faced fundamental challenges. At the end 2010, we were hit by retroactive levies which significantly reduced feed-in-tariffs on our Czech power plants and our home markets disappeared essentially overnight. A lot of patience and hard work over several years allowed us to rise up from the deep hole we had been thrown into and develop into the company we are today. The good news is that we are in a much better situation today than we were back then. In all our business lines and markets spanning Europe and Australia we have abundant opportunities to grow, with many existing and potential customers interested in our offerings. The remedy to our challenges today is essentially the same as it was a decade ago. Hard, focused work on delivering what the market needs better than our competition. This is where our attention is now strictly focused. We are working towards becoming a self-sustaining business based on what we sell and deliver to our external customers in a recurring manner, with the spirit that has turned Photon Energy Group and its business lines into respected brands in the markets where we operate. We are serious about providing our customers with the best possible services and solutions on fair terms. Whenever we fall short, we solve problems based on the best interest of our customers. On this basis we develop long-term relationships with our customers and partners. These are not empty words, but the essence of why many organisations, large and small, do business with us. We possess strong brand equity, and this is key to bringing our company back on track within the next few months.

In order to make this transformation a success, we are dedicating our time and energy to the growth of our recurring revenue streams while keeping costs under control. This has been the focus of our management decisions in 2023. Our sustainable core business is growing, recurring revenue has smoothed out energy generation seasonality, and geographical diversification minimises the risks we face on each market individually. This year we have also taken a closer look at our cost base, and for the first time in the history of Photon Energy Group we have implemented a reduction of our staff with the goal of achieving necessary cost reductions while maintaining our ability to deliver on future business objectives. We have also meticulously analysed our cost centres, trying to find savings without risking quality of service for our customers and business partners. This was a large task, but we have made significant progress in several important business areas, and feel stronger and well-prepared for 2024, which we expect to become a turnaround year for Photon Energy Group.

To summarise the key achievements of this year, we would like to highlight the tremendous effort to add power plants with a total capacity of 51.6 MWp to our Romanian portfolio, out of which 20.1 MWp are currently in the commissioning process. We expect to kick off the 2024 sunny season with over 143 MWp of high-yield generation assets, the strongest expansion ever recorded in the history of Photon Energy Group.

We have secured and contracted capacities for Demand Side Response (DSR) in Poland, putting us in the position to deliver on the contracted 389 MW of DSR services, with revenues in excess of EUR 25 million in 2024. On that basis, we expect our New Energy division to contribute positively to our bottom line and become the second largest revenue pillar within the Group.

In addition, our O&M segment, which has historically increased by low-double digits annually, has flourished this year, expanding its contractual portfolio by 43% year-to-date. And we expect several additional contracts to be concluded by the end of the year, potentially bringing that growth to the high double digits.

We have also had a very successful year in our EPC business for commercial and industrial (C&I) clients, particularly in Australia, where we have delivered EPC services for over EUR 5 million to date and expect an additional EUR 3 million to be added in Q4 2023. Looking ahead, the Australian EPC orderbook is looking healthy for 2024 including significant upside potential through significant ongoing contract negotiations. Also, we see growing opportunities in the Czech Republic and Romania, which we are preparing to focus on in 2024.

Last but not least, we have seen significant developments in the area of PFAS remediation this year. For contractual restrictions, we are not yet able to publish the results that we have delivered to our clients, but our proprietary in-situ nanoremediation technology has proven to be very effective in addressing PFAS contamination, and we can realistically expect our first commercial projects to be concluded in Australia, Europe and possibly North America during the course of 2024.

To conclude, 2023 has presented some tremendous challenges for our company. However, we have done our best to navigate these rough waters and prepare Photon Energy Group for 2024: a year that we expect to bring a financial turnaround, as well as many new opportunities for the further growth of our business.

2.2 Comments to the Consolidated Financial Results of the Group, in Q3 2023 and YTD.

In Q3 2023, our consolidated revenues amounted to EUR 19.225 million, compared to EUR 35.419 million a year earlier, down by 45.7% YoY. Revenues from electricity generation amounted to EUR 7.320 million and contracted by 52.8% YoY, mainly due to lower average realised electricity prices, which declined from EUR 413 / MWh in Q3 2022 to EUR 161 / MWh in Q3 2023, that is - 61.1% YoY. At the same time, electricity generation increased to 43.3 GWh (+33.2% YoY), thanks to new capacities added in Romania, but was still not sufficient to compensate for declining electricity prices.

Other revenues also shrunk by 40.2% YoY, to EUR 11.905 million, mainly due to weaker performance by our PV technology trading business. Other segments performed better than a year ago, with higher revenues stemming mainly from engineering and new EPC contracts in Australia, as well as newly added revenues from the capacity market (Demand Side Response) as well as origination and trading. Yet these additional revenues were still not sufficient to compensate for the decline in technology trading.

Unaudited consolidated EBITDA dropped to EUR 1.917 million compared to EUR 12.710 million a year earlier, so lower by 84.9% YoY. EBIT swung from a positive of EUR 9.735 million in Q3 2022 to a negative of EUR -1.046 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 a growing headcount (nearly doubled YoY) and the resulting higher personnel costs. Other costs remained stable or in line with declining revenues.

Depreciation remained stable, amounting to EUR 2.967 million in Q3 2023 (-0.3% YoY), despite the addition of new power plants in Romania which was compensated by the decrease caused by FX changes.

The bottom line was negatively impacted by higher interest expenses, amounting to EUR 2.831 million in Q3 2023, up by +17.9 YoY, driven by higher interest costs related to an increased outstanding balance for bank loans related to the refinancing of our projects and Green Bonds. Additionally, negative non-cash revaluation of derivatives in the amount of EUR 0.348 million was booked in Q3 2023 and is primarily related to the revaluation of our stake in RayGen (EUR -0.386 million) due to the weakening of the Australian dollar. On the positive side, the Group recorded a capital gain of EUR 0.248 million on the repurchases of the Green Bond, taking advantage of the material under-pricing of the security and re-purchasing EUR 0.510 million of nominal value.

At the bottom line, the Group recorded a net loss of EUR 2,150 million, versus a profit of EUR 6.013 million in Q3 2022.

Other comprehensive income was positively impacted by the revaluation of our newly connected Romanian power plants in the amount of EUR 2.619 million and a revaluation of the currency reserve in the amount of EUR 0.776 million, but negatively impacted by hedging derivative reserve in the amount of EUR 0.910 million. Consolidated equity increased to EUR 72.521 million while the adjusted equity ratio decreased to 28.4% compared to 32.0% at the end of 2022 but remaining soundly above the level required under the Green Bond 2021/2027 covenants.

2.3 Challenges to Deliver on the Full-year Guidance

Following the publication of Q3 2023 results, the management sees the following risks which could potentially threaten the realization of the full year guidance announced on 17 August 2023:

  • ► The revenue guidance of EUR 110 million might not be met due to declining volumes of the PV component trading, which continued in Q3 2023 and afterwards. The management currently expects the consolidated revenues to come within a range of EUR 75-80 million.
  • ► EBITDA guidance of EUR 10 million will be delivered on condition that the ongoing sales negotiations for the Group's portfolio of Polish PV projects will be concluded in Q4 2023.

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 in the Q3 2023 include:

Expansion of the Proprietary IPP Portfolio by 10.1 MWp

In the second half of August 2023, the Group completed and gridconnected two power plants in Romania: one with a generation capacity of 3.2 MWp near Făget in Timiș County, and another of 7.1 MWp located near Săhăteni in Buzău County. Both power plants were installed using high-efficiency bifacial photovoltaic modules mounted on single-axis trackers. Our IPP (Independent Power Producer) portfolio now includes 96 solar power plants, with a combined generation capacity of 123.4 MWp.

The electricity generated from these power plants will be sold on the energy market on a merchant basis, without any governmental support. The pricing model applied with the energy off-taker for up to 24 months of operations assumes that the sale price is calculated as a 90-day rolling average of day-ahead market, which helps the Group to avoid the negative impact of the duck curve and negative prices recorded during the intra-day peak hours.

The expected annual production of the power plants in Făget and Săhăteni is estimated to be around 4.7 GWh and 10.9 GWh, respectively, corresponding to a combined expected revenue of around EUR 2.0 million in 2024 based on the current forward prices for electricity base load in Romania.

Advancement of Construction Works on Additional 20.1 MWp in Romania

Further progress has been made on the construction works of the second batch of power plants in Romania, with a total capacity of 20.1 MWp.

As of the reporting date, 4 out of 5 projects (Faget 2, Faget 3, Bocsa and Magureni), with the total capacity of 18.2 MWp, are technologically complete, meaning that all PV components have been installed and the power plants have been connected to the grid, or are expected to reach that stage within the next month. Before these power plants are energised and start feeding electricity to the grid, which will mean invoicing for electricity, documentation must be completed and the connection protocol approved by the respective DSOs. We have started working on the required documentation for each of these four projects. However, as proved to be the case with the first set of power plants, communication with the DSOs and the processing of paperwork could still take several months. So it is safe to assume that this milestone will be achieved in Q1 2024. 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 strengthening of the power line. This is scheduled for February 2024 and hence some delays on this project are to be expected. The final connection works as well as the energising of the plant is expected to take place in Q2 2024.

Positive Yet Not Visible Developments in the Project Pipeline

Project development works take time; the metaphorical 'harvest period' comes a few seasons after the seeds have been planted. But work is underway and is expected to show clear results in coming quarters.

In Romania, we have obtained the building permit for the largest utility scale solar project in our history of development in Central and Eastern Europe. The 54 MWp project is located in Gorj county, Romania and is anticipated to produce 85 GWh annually. Our local development team continues to work through the remaining milestones and anticipates reaching the ready-to-build stage in early 2024. This is a significant milestone, as a building permit for a project of this size will result in significant value creation for the Group.

In Poland, we are pleased to report that complementing the landbank for PV projects (phase 1, the feasibility studies) we have secured land for 218 MW of connection and 642 MWh of standalone battery storage projects that will be submitted for capacity application in the coming periods. Further to this, we received our first grid connection for a small hybrid project, 900kWp/DC PV capacity and 230 kW of energy storage capacity that can be utilised in the anticipated Polish ancillary services market. Additionally, we will divest one land plot for a sale price of EUR 120,000, with CPs expected to be resolved in November this year and revenue recognised in Q1 2024. Additionally, there are on-going discussions regarding other development works to be provided going forward.

Electricity Prices Remained Under Pressure in Q3 2023 Compared to the Corresponding Period of the Previous Year.

Electricity prices on the day-ahead market declined on all markets where we are selling electricity on a merchant basis. In Hungary, average energy prices in Q3 2023 amounted to 99.69 EUR/MWh compared to 419.55 EUR/MWh in Q3 2022, down by 76.2% YoY. The same trend has been observed in Romania, where prices declined from 412.52 EUR/MWh in Q3 2022 to 100.53 EUR/MWh in the reporting period, resulting in a 75.6% decline YoY. In the Czech Republic, average energy prices amounted to 93.69 EUR/MWh in Q3 2023, compared to 387.34 EUR/MWh in Q3 2022, 75.8% lower YoY. It is worth mentioning that the average realised prices by the Group's portfolio in the Czech Republic amounted to 623 EUR/MWh, which is significantly above market levels thanks to the green bonus scheme, which provides an additional cushion above spot prices until the end of year 2023.

In Q3 2022, no negative prices have been observed in the dayahead markets in Hungary, the Czech Republic or Romania. In contrast, in the comparable period of 2023, negative prices were recorded in all markets. In Hungary, 22 hours were negative, representing about 1% of all hours in the period under consideration. In the Czech Republic the number was 51 hours, or about 2.3% of all hours in the period under consideration. In Romania the number was 8 hours, or about 0.4% of all hours in the period under consideration. Negative prices are especially present in the sunny months, due to the strong production from renewable resources. Surpluses of energy from sources that are weather-dependent are causing an over-supply in the energy market, driving prices down during midday hours. The second factor is reduced demand on weekends and due to the summer season, when many people are on holiday. This is when negative energy prices are observed.

In Australia the situation was similar although it was a different season of the year. Trends on the electricity markets deteriorated compared to the first half of 2023. In Q3 2023, the average electricity prices observed in NSW region amounted to 80.7 AUD/MWh (48.7 EUR/MWh) compared to 225.5 AUD/MWh (136.2 EUR/MWh), which translated into a decline of 64.1% YoY.

The World's Highest Efficiency Solar PV Project Has Officially Opened

On 31 August, the Australian solar-and-storage company RayGen has declared the world's largest next-generation long-duration energy storage (LDES) project open. The RayGen Power Plant in Carwarp, Victoria (near Mildura), with 4 MWp of solar generation capacity, a 2.8 MW AC grid connection and 50 MWh of storage, is the world's highest efficiency solar generation project and contracted its output to one of Australia's largest utilities, AGL Energy. The project recently achieved the status of 'commissioning complete' the final project-related milestone with the Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO). All systems components have demonstrated performance against specification. The offtake agreement with AGL will soon come into effect.

RayGen has also received AUD 10 million in grant funding from the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) to accelerate pipeline development and industrialisation. Photon Energy has been working on the development of the next utility-scale projects based on RayGen technology, which includes the flag-ship project in Yadnarie, South Australia as well as three other projects with the total estimated capacity of 455MWp. Having the Carwarp project in operations shall further help the Group in project developments works and pipeline expansion in new regions and markets.

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

Advanced discussions with the EBRD for up to EUR 15.0 Million Financing Facility for Romanian Projects

To-date, construction works on the second set of Romanian power plants have been financed from the Group's cashflow. The Management Board have been in discussions with the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) about a possible EUR 15 million senior loan to 'close the funding gap', allowing for both the timely completion of these power plants and also 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 the capacity market collateral capex (together referred to as 'the Project').

The EBRD loan is to be approved under the EBRD InvestEU Framework for Sustainable Transition (OpID 54197). The Project has undergone a sustainability proofing assessment in line with the requirements for the InvestEU programme, as specified in the technical guidance on sustainability proofing for the InvestEU Fund. The Project is considered as contributing to EU climate neutrality objectives and residual impacts of climate hazards, and its residual environmental and social impacts are expected to be low risk.

The EBRD's internal project approval date has been set for 13 December 2023. Upon receiving the EBRD approval, the loan agreement will be executed.

Chart 3.3 Total production of the Australian portfolio Chart 3.4 Total production of the Hungarian portfolio

The total generation of our IPP portfolio in Q3 2023 amounted to 49.3 GWh, which represents a 33.2% increase YOY. Accumulated generation year-to-date amounted to 114.8 GWh and translates into an increase of 11.4% YOY, but still falls 17.6% short of our expectations due to the delays in the commissioning process of new power plants in Romania.

As far as geographical results are concerned, Czech, Hungarian and Australian power plants performed very well producing slightly above the energy forecasts, by 1.5%, 2.1% and 2.4%, respectively. Slovakian power plants came 1.9% below the expectations while Romanian power plant produced ca. 37.9% less than initially expected.

O&M contracts

As of the end of the reporting period, the total capacity under Operations & Maintenance contracts was above 548 MWp, and this capacity has increased by 43.0% year-to-date. The total capacity under O&M contracts can be broken down into more than 500.4 MWp under full O&M contracts and additional 47.6 MWp provided as "Inverter Cardio" - services focused on maintenance of central inverters.

The capacity acquired in Q3 2023 amounted to 32 MWp and yearto-date 145 MWp.

New Energy Division

The New Energy division currently consists of two main streams of revenues and those include revenues from the capacity remuneration mechanisms i.e. Demand Side Response (DSR), offered on the Polish capacity market and revenues from Origination and Trading business (O&T).

DSR revenues represent a relatively predictable stream of cash flows, which are contracted with the Polish Transmission System

The prices contracted for Q3 2023 amounted to 203 PLN/MW per year in the Main Auction (MA) and an average of 212.4 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 As far as geographical split is concerned, approximately 96.2 MWp is operated and maintained in the Czech Republic, 161.2 MWp in Hungary, 15.3 MWp in Slovakia, 15.3 MWp in Australia, 44.8 MWp in Romania and 167.5 MWp in Poland.

As far as the "Inverter Cardio" services contracts are concerned, the Group is servicing 47.6 MWp of central inverters, up by 0.9 MWp in Q3 2023. Central inverters are currently serviced in France, Italy, Belgium, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Slovenia and Germany.

Operator (PSE) and represent a payment for being on standby for reducing energy consumption upon request of PSE and hence providing flexibility to the grid. Photon Energy Group provides those services under the Lerta brand, via aggregating flexible loads (commercial and industrial energy consumers) on the Polish market.

In Q3 2023, the total capacity contracted for DSR services amounted to 132MW.

in Q2 and Q3 are the lowest. That translates into a slight seasonality of revenues with lower revenues in Q2 and Q3, which negatively correlates with the seasonality in solar energy generation, where the trend is exactly the opposite.

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 includes electricity off-take from renewable energy producers and trading it on the day-ahead energy market as well as supplying it to energy users. As a reminder, the Group currently holds licenses in six countries in Europe but is actively trading with electricity in three of those i.e. the Czech Republic, Poland and Hungary with the last one being the biggest source of revenues and gross profit

Engineering and EPC contracts

Our engineering arm of Photon Energy Group has been very successful in the reporting period, with both internal projects as well as external EPC business the commercial and industrial (C&I) clients.

As for the internal business, our colleagues have completed the energizing of two power plants (Faget and Sahateni) from the first batch of PV projects completed in Romania and completed most of the construction works on the second batch with the total capacity of 20.1 MWp. Almost all power plants from the second batch are technically constructed and grid connected or very close to that final stage. For more details on the work-in-progress please refer to the chapter Photon's Energy project pipeline.

In Australia, our external EPC business has been flourishing where an additional EUR 1.95 million of EPC projects were completed in Q3 raising the number of completed projects since January 2023 to the end of September of EUR 5.15 million. We continue providing services to our C&I clients. Some of those external EPC projects that Photon Energy Group is currently executing include:

► Designing and constructing a 1.46 MWp, tailored-made solar solution, where battery energy storage is being considered, for a telecommunication company which is

for the business line. In Q3 2023 the total volume of electricity traded in all three markets amounted to nearly 60 GWh and was 12.8% higher than in Q2 2023.

Other operational highlights in the reporting period include a dynamic growth of available DSR capacity (contracts with flexible end users) during and after the reporting period, representing ca. 100% increase comparing to Q2 2023.

looking for sustainable energy solutions in remote locations.

  • ► A partnership with a large property manager to design and construct PV rooftop installations, potentially with battery storage, with an estimated capacity of 3.75 MWp, at the client's strategically located logistics and business parks.
  • ► Another strategic partnership with a multi-disciplined construction and development company to take the lead in the environmental stewardship and innovation in the construction industry. This co-operation foresees the construction of 1.12MWp of PV roof-top installations to enhance the energy efficiency of new and existing buildings, deliver long-term cost savings and energy resilience to clients and tenants.
  • ► Co-operation with a tier-1 Retail Facility Manager to design and install a state-of-the-art PV system, with approximate capacity of 2.1 MWp, across numerous roof-

tops at various locations. A significantly larger series of locations is slated for 2024.

► Collaboration with an agriculture producer to design and install custom ground-mounted solar solutions across

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

various farming operations. The goal of this project is to revolutionize the extensive agricultural activities and significantly reduce the farm's environmental footprint while harnessing the abundant Australian sun. The estimated capacity of those projects amounts to 1.2 MWp.

The biggest declines were observed in the segment of batteries, where the demand has contracted the most as a result of weaker household demand in the Czech Republic.

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 below table.

**Projects in feasibility stage 1. are presented at AC capacity as DC is difficult to estimate at the early-stage of utility scale projects.

Chart 3.13 Project pipeline as of the reporting date, in MWp DC

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

  • ► There are several pieces of positive news in Romania, relating to project development as well as construction works and project financing efforts. Further progress has been made on the construction works of the second batch of power plants in Romania, with a total capacity of 20.1 MWp. As of the reporting date, 4 out of 5 projects (Faget 2, Faget 3, Bocsa and Magureni), with the total capacity of 18.2 MWp, are technologically complete, meaning that all PV components have been installed and the power plants have been connected to the grid, or are expected to reach that stage within the next month. Before these power plants are energised and start feeding electricity to the grid, which will mean invoicing for electricity, documentation must be completed and the connection protocol approved by the respective DSOs. We have started working on the required documentation for each of these four projects. However, as proved to be the case with the first set of power plants, communication with the DSOs and the processing of paperwork could still take several months. So it is safe to assume that this milestone will be achieved in Q1 2024. 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 strengthening the power line. This is scheduled for February 2024 hence some delays on this project are to be expected. The final connection works as well as the energising of the plant may take place in Q2 2024.
  • ► On the project development side, in Romania Photon Energy now has a building permit for the largest utility scale solar project in the company's history of development in Central and Eastern Europe. The 54 MWp project is located in Gorj county, and is anticipated to produce 85 GWh annually. Our local development team continues to work through the remaining milestones and anticipate reaching the ready-to-build stage in 2024. This project is in the pipeline under Phase 3.
  • ► Last but not least, we have advanced discussions with EBRD related to a financing facility of up to EUR 15 million for a senior secure loan to finance up to 20-30 MWp of solar power plants in Romania. The approval process is underway, and scheduled for 13 December 2023. The proceeds will be used to finance the completion of projects under construction as well as projects currently in less advanced stages of development across Romania. If successful, the EBRD financing is expected to effectively 'close the funding gap' allowing for the timely completion of the Romanian solar projects in a situation where projectbased financing is not yet easily available.
  • ► With regards to the projects at the ready-to-build stage (stage 4), the total capacity has been slightly reduced from 22.1 MWp to 21.8 MWp DC due to the optimisation of project economics and technology procurement. The good news is that the procurement process has started, and construction works are expected to commence on Tolna 5 in Hungary in Q1 2024. The remaining projects will kick off in Q2 2024, which is in line with the DSO commissioning timeline.
  • ► Australia, the Group has been focusing on RayGen project development, which, apart from Yadnarie, include three additional utility-scale projects in NSW, with a total estimated DC capacity of 455 MWp. In all three projects, preliminary site assessments and grid capacity availability were completed together with RayGen. We are currently negotiating land option agreements, with one agreement closed in October, and are now moving on to project design, as well as grid connection capacity analysis. However, due to uncertainties related to further stages of development, the estimated capacities may still change during the development process.
  • ► In the case of the Yadnarie RayGen project, the grid connection capacity remains under revision to optimise grid connection costs. This may result in a further change in AC capacity. Environmental studies are also progressing. These factors are contributing to delays in submitting development approval, and without more visibility on that front, the deadline for further project development works cannot be communicated. As this is the biggest utility-scale project based on RayGen technology to date, the learning curve is steep and lessons learnt in the development process are being addressed.
  • ► The Boggabri Solar PV and Battery Storage project, with a capacity of 9.8 MW DC and 10 MWh of storage is technologically ready-to-build. We have applied to increase the download capacity from the grid in order to further enhance revenue streams, adding value to the project. This is currently being modelled together with Essential Energy.
  • ► In Poland, we are pleased to report that complementing the landbank for PV projects (phase 1) we have secured land for 218 MW of connection and 642 MWh of standalone battery storage projects, which will be submitted for capacity application. Further to this, we have received our first grid connection for a small hybrid project: 900 kWp of PV with 230 kWh of storage that can be utilised internally by the New Energy Division, in the anticipated Polish ancillary markets. Additionally, we will divest 1 plot of land for a sale price of EUR 120,000, with CPs being resolved in November and revenue recognition by Q1 2024 with on-going discussions regarding other development works.

Projects Highlights:

As those two projects are most advanced in the connection process, we would like to remind you the details of each:

► Bocsa Project (3.8 MWp-DC) located in western Romania.

Ready-to-Build (RtB) stage was reached on 1 June 2023 and the notice-to-proceed in the official mandatory communication documents towards Bocsa Townhall and Construction State Inspectorate (ISC) has set the construction dates for 15 June 2023. The technology procured includes Jinko Solar bifacial PV modules, Huawei inverters and Elpro Energo trafo station mounted on a single-axis trackers.

The DC capacity amounts to 3.8 MWp and AC to 3.0 MWp and it is secured with E-Distribuție Banat SA as DSO. The construction process has been very advanced reaching 74% of construction works to be completed as of the reporting date. The construction process is advanced and the PVP energizing is planned for November, 2023. The biggest risks which are envisaged are related to the potential delays in the commissioning process due to low visibility on the DSO's side.

The off-take model is of the merchant type and the annual generation expected is of 5.5 GWh, at P90 annual production probability. The construction works are financed from Group's cash flow and the project shall be refinanced upon commissioning.

► Magureni Project (1.7 MWp) located in central Romania:

Ready-to-Build (RtB) stage was reached on 24 April 2023 and the notice-to-proceed in the official mandatory communication documents towards Făget Townhall and Construction State Inspectorate (ISC) set the start of construction date for 10 May 2023.

The technology procured includes Jinko Solar bifacial PV modules, Huawei inverters and Elpro Energo trafo station mounted on a fixed-mounting system. Specific features of this project include short grid connection line and access road consolidated by the codeveloper. No reinforcement was needed to update the network.

The DC capacity amounts to 1.7 MWp and AC to 1.25 MWp and it is secured with E-Distribuție Dobrogea SA as DSO.

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 Q3 2023 Consolidated Financial Statements

Profit and Loss statement

In Q3 2023, Photon Energy Group's consolidated revenues amounted to EUR 19.225 million (-45.7% YoY) compared to EUR 35.419 million a year earlier. Revenues from electricity generation amounted to EUR 7.320 million, down by 52.8% YoY mainly due to lower average realised electricity prices, which went down from EUR 413 / MWh in Q3 2022 to EUR 161 / MWh in the reporting period (-61.1% YoY). At the same time, electricity generation increased to 43.3 GWh (+33.2% YoY), thanks to new capacities added in Romania, but was still not sufficient to compensate for the declining prices.

Other revenues also contracted to EUR 11.905 million, down by 40.2% YoY, mainly due to weaker performance by our PV technology trading business. Other segments performed better than a year ago, with higher revenues stemming mainly from engineering segments related to construction works on the second set of power plants in Romania and new EPC contracts in Australia. Compared to last year, newly-added revenues from the capacity market (Demand Side Response) as well as origination and trading added positively to the top line. However, these increases did not compensate for the decline in the technology trading revenues.

Unaudited consolidated EBITDA dropped to EUR 1.917 million compared to EUR 12.710 million a year earlier, down by 84.9% YoY. EBIT contracted from EUR 9.735 million in Q3 2022 to loss of EUR 1.046 million in the reporting period. The Group's operating profitability, apart from contraction of margins in energy generation, was also negatively impacted by a growing headcount (nearly doubled YoY) and the resulting higher personnel costs. On that note, we would like to highlight that in October, the management took a difficult decision to lay off nearly 30 people across various departments and locations, with the goal of achieving necessary cost reductions and eliminating the duplication of responsibilities resulting from the acquisition of Lerta. Other costs lines remained stable or in line with the declining revenues.

Depreciation remained stable, amounting to EUR 2.967 million in Q3 2023, (-0.3% YoY) while the addition of new power plants in Romania was offset by the decrease caused by FX movements.

The bottom line, apart from contraction of revenues and deterioration of profitability in the generation segment, was negatively impacted by higher interest expense, amounting to EUR 2.831 million in Q3 2023 and up by +17.9 YoY, driven by higher interest costs related to a outstanding balance of bank loans, which increased from EUR 36 million in Q3 2022 to EUR 95 million in the reporting period, and primarily related to the refinancing of our SPVs. Additionally, negative non-cash revaluation of derivatives in the amount of EUR 0.348 million was booked in Q3 2023, mainly due to the revaluation of our equity stake in RayGen (EUR-0.386 million) as well as the weaker Australian dollar. On the positive side, the Group recorded a capital gain of EUR 0.248 million on the repurchases of our 2022/2027 Green Bond, taking advantage of the declining market price. The total nominal value of the repurchased bonds amounts to EUR 0.510 million.

At the bottom line, the Group recorded a net loss of EUR 2.150 million compared to a net profit of EUR 6.013 million in Q3 2022.

Other comprehensive income was positively impacted by the revaluation of our newly connected Romanian power plants in the amount of EUR 2.619 million and revaluation of the currency reserve in the amount of EUR 0.776 million, but negatively impacted by hedging derivative reserve in the amount of EUR 0.910 million.

Balance Sheet

At the end of the reporting period, total non-current assets amounted to EUR 225.928 million, representing a 19.4% increase compared to the end of 2022. This was primarily driven by the growing value of our proprietary portfolio related to the commissioning of PV plants with a total capacity of 31.5 MWp as well as 20.1 MWp under construction in Romania. The total PPE balance has increased by EUR 30.448 million as a result of the activation of new assets but was partially compensated by the depreciation; the total increase in PPE amounted to EUR 22.532 million. The assets-in-progress balance increased by EUR 7.328 million and right-of-use assets increased by EUR 1.736 million due to new offices in Australia and Romania, and new easements in Romania. Deferred tax assets increased by EUR 3.213 million, as a result of internal margins elimination.

Chart 5.2. Net current assets

Changes in Equity

Equity increased to a total of EUR 72.521 million, up by EUR 2.046million YTD. Changes reflect the negative results for the period in the amount of EUR 9.546 million and positive changes on the other comprehensive income for the period related to newly connected power plants in Romania in the amount of EUR 7.634 million, a positive currency reserve of approximately EUR 2.0 million and the negative impact of derivatives hedging in the amount of EUR 0.595 million.

Cash Flow

The Group posted a positive operating cash flow in Q3 2023 in the amount of EUR 5.467 million, compared to EUR 10.286 million in Q3 2022, mainly thanks to positive working capital developments and a decrease in inventories (EUR 2.1 million).

Investment cash flow equalled EUR -9.214 million in Q3 2023 compared to EUR -12.393 million in Q3 2022, due to the expenses related to the construction of power plants in Romania and other projects related costs.

Business Segments Analysis

At the revenue level, outstanding performance has been achieved this year in our Engineering and New Energy segments, both of which contributed more than 55% to consolidated revenues.

In case of the engineering segment, the expansion was related primarily to inter-group projects under construction (20.1 MWp workCurrent assets decreased to a total of EUR 60.118 million, down by EUR 4.429 million or -6.9% compared to the end of 2022. This decrease was mainly caused by lower inventories and cash position but was partially offset by higher trade and other receivables. Other receivables increased mainly due to higher VAT receivable.

Non-current liabilities increased to EUR 174,200 million, up by 16.3% compared to the end of 2022. This increase is primarily related to the increase in bank financing (up by EUR 20.427 million) and the refinancing of our Romanian power plants, the increased amount of the outstanding Green Bond (EUR 2.500 million placed in Q1 2023 and bought back in the amount of EUR 0.510 million in Q3 2023), and higher lease liabilities mentioned earlier.

Current liabilities amounted to EUR 39.323 million and increased by EUR 5.785 million compared to the end of 2022, mainly due to higher short-term loans (up by EUR 9.063 million).

The adjusted equity ratio decreased to 28.4%, (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, but still remained at a sound level above what is required under the bond governance.

Financial cash flow was positive and amounted to EUR 2.064 million in Q3 2023, compared to EUR -4.440 million in Q3 2022, thanks to drawing on the revolving loans.

Overall, cash and liquid assets decreased by EUR 3.498 million to EUR 17.860 million compared to EUR 21.358 million at the end of 2022.

in-progress in Romania) for the proprietary portfolio but also external revenues from third parties, mainly EPC projects for commercial and industrial clients, described on page 13.

Significant positive impact to the Group's revenues came from the New Energy division, which primarily includes revenues from DSR and capacity market services, as well as Origination & Trading (the offtake of electricity, electricity trading, supply, balancing and other generator-oriented services). This segment was added as of 1 January 2023, so no comparable data is available.

On the other hand, we have also recorded a significant deterioration in our Technology (PV component trading) and Investment (revenues from generation of electricity) segments.

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. 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 some of the costs recognition have been

delayed, this margin is inflated and will be corrected downwards in Q4 2023.

In the New Energy segment, margins in Q2 and Q3 are the lowest due to the lowest average prices realised in the DSR contracts (for details see the 'New Energy Division' chapter on pages 12 and 13) and will recover in the upcoming quarter.

Technology trading recorded significantly lower revenues, but margins remained stable thanks to a higher share of inverter trading. 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; as a result of this, declining electricity prices partially eroded contractual revenues and adversely impacted margins.
