OX2 has a three-phase business model for the development and sale of renewable electricity generation capacity: Expand, Develop and Deliver.


The sale of OX2's first energy storage facility, Bredhälla, in southern Sweden, was finalized during the second quarter. In May, EQT announced a cash offer of SEK 60 per share with a stated long-term ambition to expand OX2 into an integrated developer and an energy asset owner.
In the second quarter, the sale of our first energy storage project, Bredhälla, was concluded after obtaining the approval of Svenska Kraftnät. The Bredhälla sale highlights OX2's ability to rapidly connect large energy storage systems on a fully commercial basis, thereby offering both stability and flexibility to the Swedish electricity grid. Energy storage is a technology that will play a crucial role in facilitating the shift to renewable energy. We are currently developing energy storage projects totaling approximately 1 GW in various markets in Europe and Australia, and we expect to soon complete the sale of a 50 MW facility in the Finnish market.
Construction and asset management operations have continued to make steady progress. The construction portfolio currently consists of eight onshore wind farms and one solar farm. We expect that two wind farms in Poland and one in Italy will be completed and delivered to our customers in the second half of 2024.
Moreover, construction of the 100 MW Rutki solar park in Poland has made significant progress. The financial risk of the project is low as a substantial portion of future electricity production is covered by a Contract For Difference (CFD), which guarantees a minimum revenue, allowing flexibility on whether to sell the project within the year or retain it.
The asset management business has continued to grow and, at the end of the quarter, OX2 signed an external contract to manage 19 wind turbines totaling 142 MW with the Polish energy company ORLEN Group. After this deal, OX2 manages over 1,000 wind turbines, with the total portfolio under management now exceeding 5 GW, positioning OX2 as one of Europe's largest managers of renewable energy facilities.
On May 13, EQT Infrastructure VI announced a cash offer of SEK 60 per share, which was unanimously recommended by OX2's independent bid committee. The offer has now been

Paul Stormoen, CEO
presented to shareholders, who have until October 14 to accept the bid. In connection with the offer, OX2's founder and largest shareholder Peas Industries announced their commitment to accept the offer. EQT has acquired 19.8 percent of outstanding shares in the market, which means that the necessary acceptance level of a minimum of 50 percent has been achieved.
EQT has expressed the ambition to develop OX2 into an integrated developer and owner of assets. Such a transition will entail significant investments and capital injections to accelerate OX2's growth journey in the long term. Over the past twenty years, OX2 has evolved into a leading renewable energy developer, and we have built a strong project development portfolio and organization. We view it as a logical progression for OX2 to now develop the business model to include asset ownership, thus providing us with greater flexibility and more recurring revenue.

As of June 30, 2024
OX2 is engaged in numerous sales processes totaling close to 2 GW, with a significant share in the due diligence phase. We retain our forecast for improved full-year operating income in 2024, despite increased uncertainty in the forecast. Many of our customers still have lengthy decision-making processes and we anticipate that most of this year's earnings will occur in the fourth quarter.
Paul Stormoen
It is OX2's project development portfolio that creates long-term value and makes it possible to drive the transition to renewable energy. The portfolio consists of greenfield projects, as well as acquired wind and solar power projects and energy storage solutions in different stages of development and in different markets. Development and optimization of these projects take a long time and not all projects will be realized. The likelihood of a project being realized increases the later the project is in the development phase.
At the end of the second quarter, the development portfolio totaled 33.1 GW (32.4), comprising offshore wind power of 13.8 GW (13.9), onshore wind power of 11.5 GW (11.5), solar power of 6.8 GW (6.2) and energy storage of 1.0 GW (0.9).
During the quarter, the project development portfolio decreased by 33 MW, which can be attributed to a net change in existing projects of 48 MW and the closure of a 100 MW onshore wind project in Finland. This decrease was offset in part by new greenfield projects of 115 MW.
The 115 MW increase in greenfield projects is attributable to new solar energy projects in Sweden.
Overall, the development portfolio made good progress, with several milestones achieved and a number of projects advancing to mid- and late-stage. Three Swedish offshore wind power projects transitioned to mid-phase after additional applications were submitted. During the quarter, the Gotland County Administrative Board also recommended that the government grant a permit to the Aurora offshore project.

During the second quarter, total external project development costs amounted to SEK - 72 million (-84). Development costs in the second quarter are lower than the corresponding quarter last year. Lower investments in the project development portfolio of SEK -50 million (-284) can be attributed to a lower number of acquired MW compared to the same period last year.
Costs for offshore wind power, comprising both project development costs and other external and personnel costs, amounted to SEK -44 million (-48) for the quarter, and SEK -75 million (-87) year to date. External project development costs from these projects are now recognized in part as income from joint ventures. The Group's share of costs for offshore wind power in joint ventures amounted to SEK -43 million (-37) for the quarter and SEK -76 million (-52) year to date.
Project development portfolio, GW





In the second quarter, the sale of our energy storage project Bredhälla of 42.5 MW/42.5 MWh, was finalized after obtaining approval from Svenska Kraftnät. OX2 has projects with permits in several countries, as well as ongoing sales processes totaling almost 2 GW.
In connection with the IPO in 2021, OX2 announced that the average sales price for onshore wind projects over the past two years has been around EUR 1.3 million per MW. Price levels have risen since then and have averaged around EUR 1.8 million in Sweden and Finland and EUR 2.8 million in Poland for projects sold in the period 2022-2023. Since the IPO, the probability that onshore wind and solar projects in the development portfolio reaches sales is estimated to have been around 50 percent for projects in the early stage, around 75 percent in the middle stage and around 90 percent in the late stage.
In addition to developing wind and solar farms and energy storage solutions, OX2 is responsible for construction of the projects and delivers long-term technical and commercial management.
At the end of the quarter, OX2 had nine projects totaling 1,019 MW (1,200) under construction. OX2 started construction of the 100 MW Rutki solar project in Poland in 2024. The financial risk of the project is low as a substantial portion of future electricity production is covered by a Contract For Difference (CFD), which guarantees a minimum revenue, allowing flexibility on whether to sell the project within the year or retain it.
In 2023, turbine supplier Siemens Gamesa (wholly owned by Siemens Energy) announced expected delays in future deliveries. OX2 has three projects under construction totaling 670 MW that use Siemens Gamesa turbines (Niinimäki, Riberget and Lestijärvi) where handover to the customer may be delayed, as reflected in the table below. OX2's construction contracts are based on fixed prices and delivery dates, which means that delays caused by the turbine suppliers generally have no financial impact on OX2.

Net sales in the second quarter totaled SEK 2,233 million (2,204). The sale and handover of the Bredhälla energy storage project was finalized in the second quarter of 2024. Net sales from the rest of the construction portfolio is in line with the previous year. Operations in Sweden accounted for 30 percent (51) of revenue, Finland 62 percent (30), Poland 6 percent (19) and Spain 2 percent (0).
Net sales year to date totaled SEK 3,177 million (3,666). The lower sales for the year to date can be attributed to lower income from the construction portfolio, partly as a result of the size of the portfolio and partly because of the progress of projects compared to the same period last year. Operations in Sweden accounted for 24 percent (45) of net sales, followed by Finland with 64 percent (34), Poland 8 percent (21) and Spain 4 percent (0).

The cost of goods sold totaled SEK -2,009 million (-1,613) for the second quarter and SEK -2,692 million (-2,686) year to date. Cost of goods sold as a percentage of revenue is affected by the product mix in the period. Gross margin for the quarter decreased to 10 percent (26.8) compared with the same period last year. The lower margin in the quarter is due in part to a lower margin from project sales compared with the same period last year, as well as to an impairment charge in the period for project assets of SEK -86 million. Project sales and a favorable outcome in an arbitration case had a positive impact on gross margin in the previous year. The change in the margin for the year to date compared with the same period last year can also mainly be attributed to the product mix and the above mentioned events in the quarter.
Project development costs amounted to SEK -72 million (-84) for the second quarter and SEK -145 million (-157) year to date. Development costs in the second quarter decreased compared with the same quarter last year; as a proportion of revenue they decreased to 3.2 percent, compared with 3.7 percent for the corresponding period last year. In addition to project development costs, income from interests in joint ventures amounted to SEK -45 million (-37) for the quarter and SEK -79 million (-52) year to date. The result is attributable to OX2's share of development costs mainly for offshore wind power in the companies that were partially divested to Ingka Investments in 2022 and 2023.
Other costs amounted to SEK -90 million (-81) for the second quarter, and SEK -160 million (-133) year to date. The increase is related to the operations in Australia and higher costs for consultants and IT investments.
Personnel costs in the second quarter amounted to SEK -215 million (-169), an increase of 27 percent compared with the same period the previous year. Personnel costs this year to date amounted to SEK -401 million (-309), an increase of 30 percent compared with the same period the previous year. The change can mainly be attributed to a 12 percent increase in the number of employees compared to the corresponding period last year, which is in line with the planned expansion that has occurred. Part of the increase is related to restructuring according to plan.
Operating income for the second quarter of 2024 amounted to SEK -206 million (207). The earnings trend for individual quarters is mainly affected by new sales of wind and solar power projects, and the rate at which projects under construction are completed and delivered to customers. Operating margin amounted to -9.2 percent (9.4). The lower margin for the quarter can mainly be attributed to a decrease in gross profit compared with the same period last year. To date this year, operating income amounted to SEK -316 million (310) with an operating margin of -9.9 percent (8.4). The decrease in operating income is attributable in part to the lower gross profit in the second quarter and in part to an increase in other costs and personnel costs related to the larger organization, as well as higher costs from holdings in joint ventures.
Earnings from financial items amounted to SEK 24 million (55) for the second quarter and SEK 58 million (61) year to date. The positive contribution to profit from financial items in the quarter was attributable in part to positive currency effects related to the revaluation of the company's cash and cash equivalents denominated in other currencies, and in part to interest income. OX2's currency exposure in construction projects is primarily denominated in EUR and the company uses currency derivatives to hedge these flows. Taxes had a positive impact of SEK 19 million (-17) for the quarter and SEK 37 million (-37) year to date, with an effective tax rate of 10.7 percent (6.4) for the quarter and 14.5 percent (9.9) year to date. The effective tax rate was affected by non-taxable income from the sale of projects, partly offset by impairment charges for project assets and losses from joint ventures. Profit for the period amounted to SEK -163 million (245) for the quarter and SEK -220 million (334) year to date.
Earnings per share before and after dilution totaled SEK -0.58 (0.92*) for the quarter and SEK -0.77 (1.28*) year to date.

The advance payments include 76 percent related to projects under construction in the Finnish market, followed by 15 percent for Polish projects and 9 percent for Swedish projects. Accounts payable totaled SEK 125 million (215), mainly attributable to invoices from the construction business, which vary between periods. Other liabilities amounted to SEK 27 million (327) and current interest-bearing liabilities to SEK 160 million (54). The decrease in other liabilities is attributable to a reduction in and settlement of a contingent consideration on projects, as well as to the business acquisition the previous year. The increase in current interest-bearing liabilities is attributable to external financing of an Italian project. Tax liabilities amounted to SEK 0 million (75). Accrued expenses and deferred income amounted to SEK 1,847 million (542). Accrued expenses consisted mainly of accrued construction and project costs.
Cash flow from operating activities before changes in working capital totaled SEK -76 million (320) for the quarter and SEK -140 million (421) year to date. Cash flow from changes in working capital totaled SEK 200 million (-1,265) for the quarter and SEK 515 million (-259) year to date. Changes in working capital have a large impact on cash flow in individual quarters. Cash flow for the quarter was positively affected by changes in working capital related to a decrease in accrued income, and for the year to date by a decrease in accounts receivables and an increase in current liabilities. Investments in the project development portfolio totaled SEK -50 million (-284) for the quarter and SEK -177 million (-513) year to date. Cash flow from operating activities amounted to SEK 73 million (-1 229) for the quarter and SEK 198 million (-351) for the year.
Cash flow from investing activities amounted to SEK -28 million (-848) for the quarter and SEK -70 million (-869) year to date. Cash flow for the year is mainly attributable to contributions to joint ventures and the large difference compared with the previous year is due to the acquisition of the ESCO Group last year. Cash flow from financing activities totaled SEK 132 million (-2) for the quarter and SEK 125 million (19) year to date, attributable to project financing raised for an Italian project. Total cash flow for the second quarter of 2024 amounted to SEK 177 million (-2,079) and SEK 253 million (-1,202) year to date
The employees of the parent company (OX2 AB) work with project development, financing, project sales and project implementation.

Personnel costs amounted to SEK -128 million (-113) for the quarter, and SEK -232 million (-214) year to date. The increased costs were mainly due to an increase in the number of employees compared with the previous year and are in line with planned expansion.
Operating income amounted to SEK -230 million (19) for the quarter and SEK -467 million (-133) year to date. The lower operating income for the year is due in part to lower income and in part to higher other costs and personnel costs. Earnings after financial items amounted to SEK 65 million (626) for the quarter and SEK -190 million (485) year to date. The decrease can mainly be attributed to lower dividends from subsidiaries. Profit for the period amounted to SEK 114 million (625) for the quarter and SEK -90 million (513) year to date.

OX2's sustainability strategy is based on four strategic focus areas: basis for good governance, contribution to climate and nature, sustainable leadership and local commitment. Together, these focus areas will help us achieve our long-term sustainability goals and accelerate the transition to renewable energy in a sustainable way. Each focus area addresses key issues about which we continuously communicate and report. OX2's long-term sustainability goals aim to increase renewable energy production and reduce emissions in line with the 1.5 degree target, be a leader in health and safety, and create nature-positive wind and solar farms. Sustainability-related key performance indicators are presented in the table on page 29.
One project, Bredhälla energy storage, was commissioned during the second quarter. Measures taken to mitigate environmental damage and promote biodiversity include creating fauna depots and stone piles, as well as active elevation adjustments to reduce gravel transportation.
OX2's 2023 annual and sustainability report was published in April. The sustainability report was reviewed for the first time, one of several steps the company has taken to prepare for reporting in alignment with the EU's new Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD).
An employee survey conducted in the second quarter indicated strong engagement among the employees. The Employee Net Promoter Score (eNPS), which measures the percentage of employees who would recommend the company to a friend or acquaintance, dropped from 39 to 19. Despite this decrease, the eNPS remains above the industry average of 12. The decrease can be attributed to the challenges of recent years, including higher interest rates and difficulties in securing capital for major projects, as well as OX2's recruitment of many new employees in recent years.
Accidents resulting in sick leave continue to decrease compared to the previous year. Based on the company's experience, accidents and incidents mainly occur as a result of shortcuts or non-compliance with safety procedures. A program was launched during the quarter to further strengthen our health and safety culture.
In May, an internal sustainability week was held to raise awareness and encourage involvement in sustainability matters. The week began with positive examples from our markets and continued with a day dedicated to health and safety, followed by biodiversity and unconscious bias. The week concluded with the presentation of a sustainability award for an initiative voted on within the company.

The offer has now been presented to shareholders, who have until October 14 to accept the bid. In connection with the offer, OX2's founders and principal owner Peas Industries announced that they had undertaken to accept the offer, which means that the necessary acceptance level of at least 50 percent has been achieved.

Interim Report April–June 2024 The renewable energy industry is dependent on the general global economic and political situation. Access to capital and investment appetite may affect the company's ability to sell
projects. The climate and environmental targets adopted by the EU and individual countries in which OX2 operates also affect prospects for the wind and solar power market and the OX2's growth potential.
For a detailed description of the risks, please refer to the directors' report in the company's 2023 Annual Report.
The transition to a renewable energy supply is a long-term and important goal for our society. Despite geopolitical turmoil and rising interest rates, OX2 has performed well over the past years, with an expanded project development portfolio, geographical expansion and good progress in projects under construction. Creation of renewable energy supply has strong political support as it creates growth in the economy and we consider it to be the most effective way of reducing global CO2 emissions. OX2 is optimistic about the future and is experiencing good demand for ownership of renewable power generation among its customers.
Although higher interest rates have had an impact on the financing market, demand for renewable energy production continues to be strong. OX2 has a large number of permitted projects on several markets which gives confidence for the coming year.
OX2 has made substantial investments in both the organization and project development in recent years, setting the stage for the company to reach its targets of at least a 25 percent Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) in operating profit from 2023 to 2027. As a result of the completed investments in the organization and the project development portfolio, the need for increased costs for personnel and project development is decreasing. In 2024, the increase in personnel and project development costs is expected to be below 5 percent for the full year compared to 2023. The outcome will depend on the growth and progress of the project portfolio.
OX2 reiterates the forecast of an increase in operating income for full-year 2024, although the uncertainty in the forecast has increased. Many customers still have lengthy decision-making processes and OX2 anticipates that most of this year's earnings will occur in the fourth quarter. OX2 has ongoing sales processes in several countries in onshore wind power, solar power and energy storage, totaling almost 2 GW.
Operating income is expected to continue to be volatile on a quarterly basis depending on when new project sales are realized and the operating income for an individual quarter may be negative if no project sales are realized in the quarter.
Investments in project acquisitions are expected to total approximately SEK 1,000 million per year. Depending on the timing of the completion of acquisitions, this may vary between individual calendar years.
Preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires the Board of Directors and management to make accounting estimates and judgements and to make assumptions that affect the application of the accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. The actual outcome may differ from these estimates and judgements.
OX2's 2023 annual and sustainability report is available on the OX2 website, ox2.com.
The Board of Directors and the Chief Executive Officer declare that the interim report for the period January – June 2024 provides a true and fair overview of the parent company's and the Group's operations, position and results of operations and describes the significant risks and uncertainties faced by the parent company and the companies included in the Group.

To the Board of Directors of OX2 AB (publ), corporate registration number 556675–7497
We have reviewed the condensed interim financial information for OX2 AB as of June 30, 2024, and the six-month period ending on that date. The Board of Directors and the Managing Director are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim financial information in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim financial information based on our review.
We conducted our review in accordance with the International Standard on Review Engagements ISRE 2410, Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. A review consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review has a different focus and is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with ISA and other Generally Accepted Auditing Practices. The procedures performed in a review do not enable us to obtain a level of assurance that would make us aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Therefore, the conclusion expressed based on a review does not give the same level of assurance as a conclusion expressed based on an audit.
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim financial information is not, in all material respects, prepared in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act.

The consolidated accounts for OX2 have been prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting standards (IFRS) adopted by the EU. The same accounting policies have been applied for the current year as for the comparative year. No new or amended standards have had a material impact on the financial statements. The interim report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. In addition to the financial statements and related notes, further disclosures in accordance with IAS 34 can be found in other parts of the interim report.
The parent company OX2 AB applies the Annual Accounts Act and RFR 2 Accounting for Legal Entities.
Items have been measured in the consolidated financial statements at cost, except in the case of certain financial instruments that are measured at fair value and at amortized cost. There have been no changes in accounting policies since the latest annual report.
Project assets are normally sold through the sale of shares in project companies. Revenue will be recognized on condition that OX2 no longer controls the subsidiary. There is no remeasurement of the remaining shares given that the assets were classified as current assets before the sale. Earnings from interests in Joint Ventures have been deemed to be part of operations and are therefore reported as an item within operating income.

The carrying amount of financial assets and financial liabilities, allocated by valuation category, is shown in the table below. Fair value is determined on the basis of three levels:
1) Observable (unadjusted) quoted prices in an active market
2) Valuation models based on observable data other than quoted prices
3) Valuation models in which the input data is based on non-observable data.
For a description of how fair values have been calculated, see the Annual Report 2023, note 2 "Accounting policies" and note 4. For items measured at amortized cost, this is deemed to be consistent with fair value.

On October 28, 2016, December 28, 2016 and December 15, 2017, Peas Industries AB entered into three contracts under which Peas undertakes to provide accounting services to certain investors in four of the company's former projects. The services under the contracts are provided by the company, which in turn invoices Peas for the services provided. Unless terminated prematurely, in accordance with certain specific conditions, the contracts are valid for seven years from the date of handover of the projects. The contracts are therefore expected to expire on December 27, 2025 and April 27, 2027. In 2022, two members of the Board of Directors joined an option plan issued by Peas Industries AB. The program runs for three years and is designed such that the investment has been made at market value and the program does not result in any expense as defined in IFRS 2. Consultant services amounting to a total of SEK 58 million have been invoiced during the year to joint venture companies.
The Annual General Meeting in May 2022 resolved to implement a long-term incentive plan designed as a share savings plan for certain current and future key individuals in the group who do not participate in the company's current shareholder plan (which was implemented before the company was listed on Nasdaq First North Premier Growth Market). The Share Savings Plan requires participants to acquire shares in the company using their own funds on the marketplace where the company's shares are listed. The investment in shares that can be acquired in this manner as "savings shares" is limited to a minimum of SEK 20,000 and with a maximum investment that depends on the category to which the participant belongs. Each savings share entitles the participant to obtain 0.5 shares and an additional 1–3 shares free of charge (up to 6 for any future key individual) at the end of a three-year vesting period, depending on the category of which the participant is a member, as well as on certain other restrictions and possible conversions in accordance with the full conditions of the warrants. A total of 25 people are participating in the plan as of June 30, 2024. The right to receive Matching Shares and Performance Shares is conditional upon the participant retaining the Savings Shares throughout the vesting period and the participant's employment not having been terminated at the end of the vesting period. The right to receive performance shares is conditional on the fulfilment of the defined performance conditions related to the share price performance during the vesting period.
In total, a maximum of 61,216 matching shares and 414,741 performance shares may be allocated to participants in the share savings plan.
The Annual General Meeting in May 2023 resolved to introduce a long-term incentive plan designed as a share savings plan for certain current and future key individuals with the same conditions as the 2022 plan. As at June 30, 2024, 31 people are participating in the plan.
In total, a maximum of 73,743 matching shares and 442,467 performance shares may be allocated to participants in the share savings plan.
The total dilutive effect denominated in SEK is 0.0003 as of June 30.
The Group has no pledged assets (61). Contingent liabilities amounted to SEK 6.4 billion (6.9) at June 30, 2024 compared with the beginning of the year. Changes in reported contingent liabilities are related to expired guarantees for projects that has been handed over.
The parent company has a related party relationship with its Group companies. As of June 30, 2024, the parent company's contingent liabilities amounted to SEK 6.4 billion (6.9) and no pledged assets (61) compared with the end of the previous year.
Alternative performance measures refer to financial measures of historical or future earnings performance, financial position, financial result or cash flows that are not defined or specified in the applicable rules for financial reporting (for OX2's consolidated accounts this is IFRS).
In the financial statements issued by OX2, alternative performance measures are specified that supplement the measures defined or specified in the applicable financial reporting rules such as income, profit or loss or earnings per share.
Alternative performance measures are published as they complement, in context, the measures defined in IFRS. The basis for the alternative performance measures provided is that they are used by management to assess financial performance and are therefore considered to provide valuable information for analysts and other stakeholders.
Pages 24–28 show the definition and reconciliation of significant alternative performance measures with the most directly reconcilable item, subtotal or total stated in the financial statements for the corresponding period.

Eligible revenue for OX2 is income from sale of projects when the performance obligation towards the customer is to deliver a complete constructed project. When only project rights are sold this is not classified as eligible according to the EU taxonomy framework definitions.
*During 2023, travel data was not collected quarterly, which means that travel data from 2023 is estimated based on full-year, with the exception of the conference in Q3. Data coverage and quality improved during the year, which means that outcomes should be compared with caution.

| Development phase | OX2 divides its project development portfolio into three phases based on how far a project has come in the development process. Projects that have been postponed or where no active development work is in progress are not included in the OX2 project development portfolio. The time required for project development and realization depends on several factors such as technology and geography. |
