2. Management Discussion and Analysis

2.1 A note from the management board

The Group's consolidated revenues continued to reach new hights in Q3 2022, surpassing the first half year revenues of EUR 32.367 million, while EBITDA jumped to EUR 12.710 million (+186.7% YOY) and net profit swung into the black to EUR 6.295 million, from a net loss of EUR -1.405 million a year ago. We are very proud to have delivered record third quarter results for 2022. These were primarily driven by the shift of the majority of our IPP portfolio from feed-in-tariffs to the sale of electricity directly to the market. In addition, we recorded dynamic growth in our other business lines, mainly in our PV component trading, which we are realising across our key markets and beyond.

In Q3 2022, the Company's 91.9 MWp proprietary portfolio of PV power plants generated a robust production volume of 37.0 GWh of electricity, representing a 6.6% YOY increase. Current electricity market prices have led to electricity sales revenues of EUR 15.506 million, up 136.1% YOY. Year-to-date, the Company reports 103.0 GWh of electricity produced compared to 82.3 GWh one year ago (up 25.2% YOY) and on par with the full-year production for 2021. The Company has already achieved electricity revenues of EUR 31.419 million in the first nine months of 2022, compared to EUR 19.402 million for all of 2021 (up 61.9% compared to full-year 2021 electricity revenues).

Increases in other revenue streams were also experienced, mainly driven by the great momentum in the Group's PV component trading business, which distributes modules, inverters, and batteries with the latter contributing to a significant improvement of the Company's revenue mix.

On the project development front, the past quarter has been very busy with the ongoing construction of our first seven power plants in Romania. The construction of our first project in the country, where we have 28.3 MWp under construction at the moment, is now almost completed and the commissioning process for these power plants is planned to be initiated around mid-November 2022 and completed in the upcoming months. The Company is currently developing utility-scale PV projects with a combined capacity of 899 MWp in its key CEE markets and Australia.

Not least of all, the past few months have been eventful as to our presence on capital markets, with the tap of our EUR green bond 2021/27 for EUR 10.0 million and the repayment of our 7.75% corporate bond 2017/2022.

We thank our teams for their efforts in successfully navigating both the challenges and the headwinds of the current geopolitical and macroeconomic environment. While we have an obligation to remain vigilant to respond to changing business conditions, we believe that our underlying business strengths and our focus on managing for the long term will enable us to continue capturing the strong demand for solar energy and storage.

Financial results

In the third quarter of 2022, our revenues rose more than three-fold YOY to a record level of EUR 35.419 million, up 247.2% YOY. This increase in revenues is primarily connected with higher revenues from the production of electricity generated by our new power plants operating on a merchant basis (1.4 MWp connected to the grid in December 2021 and 14.6 MWp in August 2021), as well as the high electricity prices on the market-linked direct sales component of the "Green Bonus" support scheme, into which the Czech portfolio switched since the beginning of the year, The same applies to most of the Group's Hungarian IPP portfolio, which the Company also temporarily switched to the merchant model in April 2022, representing 46.2 MWp out of the Company's 51.8 MWp Hungarian portfolio. As a result, the Company saw revenues from the sale of electricity generated by the Group's growing portfolio benefit from rising electricity prices globally.

Besides the outstanding revenue from electricity production of EUR 15.506 million (+136.1% YOY), revenues picked up strongly across all other business segments (EUR 19.913 million, +448.0% YOY). The latter was mainly attributable to a very dynamic growth of the Company's component trading business line, which grew its revenues nine-fold from Q3 2021 to EUR 17.824 million in Q3 2022. The higher margins connected to the distribution of batteries, added to the existing offer of modules and inverters, also contributed to improving the Company's revenue mix.

This strong business performance led to a consolidated EBITDA improvement by 186.7% to EUR 12.710 million and translated into a record Q3 EBIT of EUR 9.735 million compared to EUR 0.416 million in the same period last year.

Most importantly, the Company turned around a EUR -1.073 million loss before taxation recorded in Q3 2021 to an outstanding EUR 7.344 million profit in Q3 2022, as well as its net profit with EUR 6.013 million achieved during the reporting period (vs. a EUR - 1.405 million net loss in Q3 2021).

Despite a negative Other Comprehensive Income (OCI), affected by a weakening Hungarian Forint (HUF), the Company reports an increased positive consolidated total comprehensive income for the quarter amounting to EUR 4.023 million, compared to EUR - 1.179 million for the same period last year.

Year-to-date, Photon Energy set new nine-month revenue and profitability records. Unaudited consolidated revenues were up 175.3% YOY to EUR 67.785 million, while EBITDA increased to EUR 22.853 million (+167.2% YOY). EBIT swung from a loss of EUR -0.091 million to a EUR 14.904 million profit. Photon Energy recorded a net profit of EUR 6.552 million compared to a EUR - 5.442 million loss in the first nine months of 2021. At the bottom line, TCI amounted to EUR 6.358 million compared to EUR 1.119 million a year ago. The adjusted equity ratio increased at a sound level of 31.6%.

Photon Energy confirms its guidance for 2022

As of the end of Q3 2022, the Trailing Twelve-Month Revenues and EBITDA amounted to EUR 79.519 million and EUR 23.883 million respectively, putting us on the right trajectory to fulfil our guidance for 2022.

Based on the above and the Group's operating leverage manifesting across all its business lines, we reaffirm our target to increase our consolidated revenues to EUR 85 million from EUR 36.4 million in 2021, representing a 133.8% increase YoY, leading to an increase of EBITDA to EUR 24 million from EUR 9.6 million in 2021 (+150.4% YOY).

Other key highlights for the third quarter of 2022 up to the reporting date are detailed below:

Photon Energy broke ground on another two Power plants in Romania

During and after the reporting period, the Company announced that it has broken ground on the construction of its sixth and seventh Romanian PV power plants, which will have generation capacities

of 4.8 MWp and 7.1 MWp respectively. The new power plants are scheduled to be built in the fourth quarter of 2022 and connected to the grid shortly after.

Upon the commissioning of these plants Located near Teiuș in Romania's Alba County, and Săhăteni in Romania's Buzău County, the Company will own and operate 95 solar power plants with a combined generation capacity of 120 MWp in its IPP portfolio. Of this a combined 104 MWp will be selling subsidy-free clean electricity directly on the energy market.

Currently, the Company is developing PV projects in Romania with a total capacity of 227.3 MWp, with 28.3 MWp under construction.

Globally, the Company is developing utility-scale PV projects with a combined capacity of 899 MWp in its key CEE markets and Australia, including the above capacity in Romania. The remaining project development pipeline in Romania is expected to be built and commissioned in 2023 and 2024 and thus the Romanian market will significantly contribute to the Company's goal of expanding its IPP portfolio.

Photon Energy Group Secured EUR 28.1 million long-term refinancing for its Czech portfolio

After the reporting period, the Company announced that it has closed a long-term non-recourse project refinancing agreement with UniCredit Bank Czech Republic and Slovakia a.s. ('UCB') for its proprietary photovoltaic (PV) power plants in the Czech Republic. The refinanced portfolio is comprised of nine PV power plants with a combined capacity of 14.6 MWp that were connected to the grid in 2009 and 2010.

The refinancing, which totals EUR 28.1 million, is split into financing in Euros, for EUR 9.7 million, and Czech crowns, for CZK 451 million (EUR 18.4 million). The facilities are being provided for a period of 7 years and 3 months, until 31 December 2029.

Through this refinancing agreement with UniCredit Bank, we have again secured long-term project refinancing for most of our Czech portfolio, allowing us to free up significant additional liquidity after the repayment of our EUR Bond 2017/2022 to finance the expansion of our portfolio.

Photon Energy Group tapped its 6.50% green bond to EUR 75 million

After the reporting period, the Company announced that it has tapped its 6.50% Green EUR Bond 2021/2027 in the amount of EUR 10.0 million to a total outstanding amount of EUR 75.0 million.

The bonds, which bear interest at a rate of 6.50% p.a. with quarterly interest payments, were offered to bondholders of the existing 2017/2022 corporate bonds in form of an exchange offer with a 1.5% loyalty premium plus the difference in net accrued interest on each exchanged bond. Existing investors registered around 6.0 million euros nominally for exchange, which corresponds to a ratio of 30% of the outstanding bond. Together with the initial exchange offer organized in November 2021, 60% of the outstanding volume of the Company's 2017/2022 bond has been exchanged for the new Green EUR Bond.

Investors from Germany, Austria and Luxembourg were given the opportunity to subscribe for the bond until 11 October 2022 directly through the Company's website in form of a public offer. In addition, a private placement was launched towards the end of the subscription period.

The tap issuance of the 2021/2027 Green bonds were included into trading on the Quotation Board trading segment of the Open Market (Freiverkehr) on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange (Frankfurter Wertpapierbörse) on 14 October 2022.

The Company intends to use net proceeds of the tap issuance to finance photovoltaic projects or hybrid solutions combined with energy storage, as well as financial instruments that were used to finance such projects or assets, in accordance with the Company's Green Financing Framework issued in September 2021.

KFM Deutsche Mittelstand AG confirmed Photon Energy Group's green EUR bond 2021/2027 as 'Attractive' with 4 out of 5 stars

KFM Deutsche Mittelstand AG ('KFM'), an expert in the field of bonds for medium-sized companies, has reconfirmed the Company's 6.50% Green Bond 2021/2027 (DE000A3KWKY4) as 'attractive', with 4 out of 5 stars, in its latest KFM-Mittelstandsanleihen Barometer. This prestigious award followed the Company's announcement of the Green Bond 2021/2027 tap issuance. The published assessment of the bond was based on the scoring analysis procedure developed by KFM.

Photon Energy Group repaid 7.75% corporate bond 2017/2022

After the reporting period, the Company successfully repaid the outstanding nominal value of EUR 15.232 million of its 7.75% EUR corporate bond 2017/2022 (ISIN: DE000A19MFH4) at the end of the five-year term in accordance with the bond conditions. The repayment was made together with the final interest payment to the bondholders.

With a flawless track record in serving our quarterly bond coupons and our transparent and proactive communication with investors during the whole bond tenor, the final repayment of our second bond marked a crucial milestone in our capital market financing activities.

The bond was issued on 27 October 2017 with a 7.75% annual coupon and quarterly coupon payments in Germany, Austria and Luxemburg. The original target volume of EUR 30 million was successfully increased in two taps with all parameters unchanged, to an outstanding amount of EUR 45.0 million.

The bond, with a nominal value of EUR 1,000, had been traded on the Open Market of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange since 27 October 2017. It was also listed on the stock exchanges in Berlin, Hamburg, Hannover, Munich and Stuttgart.

2.2 Strategy and its execution

The Group's focus for future growth lies on the established Australian and Hungarian markets and the newly added Polish and Romanian markets for the expansion of PV generation capacity. Further markets in Central Europe, Central and South America, the Middle East, and Africa remain under the Group's investigation.

The Group also intends to continue to disrupt and transform the PV industry. This is illustrated by the strategic investments concluded with RayGen, a company specialized in high efficiency concentrated PV generation with thermal absorption and storage, and with Lerta, developing Virtual Power Plant technologies and energy market services.

In addition, the Group's focus remains on the expansion of operations & maintenance (O&M) solutions in Central Europe and Australia and selective entry to new markets following its customers, and the development of various water treatment technologies and the preparation for their commercialization.

The Group's strategic goals include:

  • ► An increase in the production of clean energy by expanding the Group's global electricity generation capacity of the proprietary portfolio of photovoltaic power plants;
  • ► the acquisition of new PV projects to develop, design and construct them for the proprietary portfolio supporting the

growth of recurring revenue streams from clean electricity generation with a clear focus on Australia, Hungary, Poland and Romania;

  • ► the expansion of the PPA-business and construction of commercial "behind-the-meter" PV projects for industrial customers and off-takers in Australia and in Europe;
  • ► the Group intends to compete for PV projects, which aim to address the needs for provision of clean energy in locations which require a tailor-made approach to design complete energy systems, which would combine generation of clean energy with energy storage solutions; such PV projects require an integrated approach in the application of PV technology;
  • ► the provision of O&M services allowing PV power plants to run smoothly at high generation levels and increasing revenues while reducing risks for the Group's customers;
  • ► the procurement and trading of PV components through cooperation with PV technology manufacturers; and
  • ► the remediation of contaminated sites and ground water pollution deploying water treatment technologies with a focus on PFAS nano-remediation solutions.

O&M services

Photon Energy remained focused on delivering Operations & Maintenance services. As of the end of Q3 2022, full O&M services contracts amounted to approximately 274.2 MWp (+2.8% YOY). This can be broken down geographically into 130.9 MWp in Hungary, 94.9 MWp operated in the Czech Republic, 15.4 MWp in Australia, 15.3 MWp in Slovakia, 13.7 MWp in Poland and 4.0 MWp in Romania. The O&M portfolio divides into 182.3 MWp serviced for external clients and 91.9 MWp of PV capacity from the proprietary portfolio.

As far as the "Inverter Cardio" services contracts are concerned, the Group is servicing 49.8 MWp of central inverters (-20.0% YOY).

2.5 Reporting on 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

In detail, at the end of Q3 2022, the total capacity of central inverters serviced can be divided regionally into 18.3 MWp in France, 9.7 MWp in Belgium, 6.5 MWp in the Czech Republic, 6.0 MWp in Italy, 5.5 MWp in Slovakia, 2.0 MWp in Slovenia and 1.8 MWp in Germany. In some countries like France or Germany the Group is holding a leading market position while in Belgium in particular, the Group is servicing all of the Satcon inverters ever installed.

After the end of the reporting period, the conclusion of full O&M services contracts in Poland (+48.0 MWp) and in Romania (+9.3 MWp) brought the total capacity under O&M contract (full O&M services and Inverter Cardio services contracts) to 381.2 MWp.

development is a key driver for Photon Energy's future growth. The Group's experience in project development and financing in the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Germany, Italy and Hungary is an important factor in selecting attractive markets and reducing the inherent risks related to project development.

Photon Energy is currently developing PV projects in Australia (300.0 MWp), Hungary (90.5 MWp), Romania (227.3 MWp) and Poland (280.8 MWp) and is evaluating further markets for opportunities.

Chart 2.c Australian project pipeline in MWp Chart 2.d Hungarian project pipeline in MWp

PV projects have two definitions of capacity. The grid connection capacity is expressed as the maximum of kilowatts or megawatts which can be fed into the grid at any point in time. 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

Chart 2.a Romanian project pipeline in MWp Chart 2.b Polish project pipeline in MWp

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. Photon Energy will refer to the installed DC capacity of projects expressed in Megawatt peak (MWp) in its reporting, which might fluctuate over the project development process.

Australia

During the reporting period, Photon Energy had one large scale solar farm under development.

In November 2021, the Group secured 1,200 hectares of land in South Australia to develop a 300 MWp solar farm suitable for Ray-Gen's solar technology in combination with its energy storage solution.

Development status Raygen project (300 MWp): Based on preliminary designs, Photon Energy will develop a solar generation capacity of 300 MWp with a grid connection capacity of 150 MW. The target storage energy storage capacity is 3.6 GWh, equivalent to 24 hours of full load, to the grid, from storage. This will exceed the 3 GWh capacity of the Ouarzazate Solar Power Station in Morocco, which currently has the world's largest energy storage capacity of any type, excluding pumped hydro.

The project received Crown Sponsorship from the South Australian Government for development approval. Crown Sponsorship is a development process undertaken directly with, in this case, the Department of Energy and Mining, as a development of public infrastructure under section 49(2)(c) of the Development Act 1993 for the approval of the project with the South Australian Government. The proposed development complies with the requirements of the Technical Regulator in relation to the security and stability of the State's power system. In parallel, Photon Energy has applied for grid connection for the project to the Electranet transmission network and has engaged a grid connection consultant to manage the process and conduct Grid Performance Studies which will be submitted for approval.

In Q1 2022, Photon Energy conducted Community consultation sessions with very positive response from both the community and the local council. The local council is very supportive of the project and has expressed interest in working with Photon Energy on accommodation and local supply chain in any areas that will be mutually beneficial to both the local community and the project.

Hungary

Below is a short summary of projects and progress achieved in the reporting period.

Tolna 3-13 projects (25.8 MWp under development, 1.4 MWp commissioned on 9 December 2021 and 1.4 MWp commissioned on 5 May 2022): In total thirteen projects with a total planned installed DC capacity of 28.6 MWp are located in the Tolna region in the south of Hungary. Two power plants have a grid connection capacity of 5.0 MW AC each, whereas 1 MW AC have been secured for each of the remaining eleven projects. The grid connection points have been secured and the negotiations for suitable land plots have been finalized for several projects. Grid connection plans have been initiated and already partially approved, to allow us to conclude grid connection agreements with E.ON. with a validity of two years.

On 8 December 2020, one of the 1MW AC (approx. 1.4 MWp DC) projects was granted a METAR premium of 24,470 HUF/MWh (approx. EUR 68 per MWh) with a maximum supported production of 21,585 MWh over a period of up to 15 years. This achievement results from the approval of the project application to the first pilot tender for the METAR system organized in September 2019. Outside this project, two power plants have been constructed and commissioned to date, with a third one in advanced development after securing the binding extraction and construction permits.

The revenue model will be the direct sale of electricity through a trader on the Hungarian electricity market for the time being. Entering into a contract-for-difference based on a METÁR license (for the project that has proven successful through the auction process) or entering into PPAs in the future, remain possible options. Construction plans include the use of tracking technology allowing bi-facial solar modules to follow the course of the sun, which are expected to achieve a 15-20% higher specific performance than fixed installations.

On 9 December 2021, we completed and grid-connected the first photovoltaic power plant with a capacity of 1.4 MWp near the municipality of Tolna.

On 5 May 2022, we completed and grid-connected the second photovoltaic power plant with a capacity of 1.4 MWp near Tolna.

These latest additions expand the Company's portfolio of proprietary power plants in Hungary to a total of 63, with a combined capacity of 51.8 MWp.

The new power plants represent the first European utilityscale PV power plants in Photon Energy Group's IPP portfolio that the Company operates without a support scheme. The total annual production of each power plant is expected to be around 2.1 GWh, which corresponds to expected annual revenues of EUR 440,000 based on current forward prices for electricity base load in Hungary.

Each of these new power plants extends over 2.2 hectares, uses bi-facial PV modules mounted on single-axis trackers and is connected to the grid of E.ON Dél-dunántúli Áramhálózati Zrt..

The electricity is sold on the national electricity market on a merchant basis. This means no power purchase agreements (PPAs) have been entered into by the Company. However, they may play a role in the plant's future revenue management strategy, alongside other hedging options.

The Company developed the projects fully in-house and delivered engineering, procurement and construction services through its subsidiary Photon Energy Solutions HU Kft. Photon Energy Operations HU Kft. – another of the Group's subsidiaries – will provide long-term monitoring, operations and maintenance services to the power plants.

2.8. Financial statement analysis

Profit and Loss statement

In the third quarter of 2022, our revenues rose more than three-fold YOY to a record level of EUR 35.419 million, up 247.2% YOY. This increase in revenues is primarily connected with higher revenues from the production of electricity generated by our new power plants operating on a merchant basis (1.4 MWp connected to the grid in December 2021 and 14.6 MWp in August 2021), as well as the high electricity prices on the market-linked direct sales component of the "Green Bonus" support scheme, into which the Czech portfolio switched since the beginning of the year and the Group's Hungarian IPP portfolio, of which the Company also temporarily switched most power plants to a merchant model in April 2022, representing 46.2 MWp out of the Company's 51.8 MWp Hungarian portfolio. As a result, the Company saw revenues from the sale of electricity generated by the Group's growing portfolio benefit from rising electricity prices globally.

Besides the outstanding revenue from electricity production of EUR 15.506 million (+136.1% YOY), revenues picked up strongly across all other business segments (EUR 19.913 million, +448.0% YOY). The latter was mainly attributable to a very dynamic growth of the Company's component trading business line, which grew its revenues nine-fold from Q3 2021 to EUR 17.824 million in Q3 2022. The higher margins connected to the distribution of batteries, added to the existing offer of modules and inverters, also contributed to improving the Company's revenue mix.

This strong business performance led to a consolidated EBITDA improvement by 186.7% to EUR 12.710 million and incurred a

2.7.3 CZK Bond trading performance in Prague

record Q3 EBIT of EUR 9.735 million compared to EUR 0.416 million in the same period last year absorbing the booking of provisions for the Hungarian windfall taxes adopted by the Hungarian government retrospectively in June 2022.

Most importantly, the Company turned around a EUR -1.073 million loss before taxation recorded in Q3 2021 to an outstanding EUR 7.344 million profit in Q3 2022, as well as its net profit with EUR 6.013 million achieved during the reporting period (vs. a EUR - 1.405 million net loss in Q3 2021).

Despite a negative Other Comprehensive Income (OCI), affected by a weakening Hungarian Forint (HUF), the Company reports an increased positive consolidated total comprehensive income for the quarter amounting to EUR 4.023 million, compared to EUR - 1.179 million for the same period last year.

Year-to-date, Photon Energy set new nine-month revenue and profitability records. Unaudited consolidated revenues were up 175.3% YOY to EUR 67.785 million, while EBITDA increased to EUR 22.853 million (+167.2% YOY).

Balance Sheet

Switching to the balance sheet, Total fixed assets amounted to EUR 142.976 million at the end of Q3 2022, representing a slight increase of 0.4% compared to the end of 2021. This development is resulting from a weakening Hungarian Forint (HUF) impacting the EUR value of the Company's Hungarian portfolio, the ongoing depreciation of our portfolio power plants, offset by the addition of the power plant commissioned in Tolna in May 2022, Hungary and by an increase of our assets in progress in Romania.

Current assets increased by 16.9% compared to the end of 2021 to EUR 63.293 million as of the end of Q3 2022, resulting from an increase in trade and other receivables connected to our business growth, and an increased inventory related to our Technology sales, partially offset by a decrease in Liquid assets (see below "Cash flow").

Long term liabilities increased by 0.8% compared to the end of 2021 to EUR 112.001 million at the end of Q3 2022, due to the increased placement of our EUR Green bond amounting to EUR 10.0 million in May 2022, the repayment of loans in accordance
