Significant events during the first half of the year

  • In May, Arise announced that the Board had resolved to utilise the authorisation granted by the 2024 Annual General Meeting to buy back the company's own shares up to MSEK 50 ahead of the 2025 Annual General Meeting. Under this share buyback programme and the previous buyback programme, 2,201,045 own shares were repurchased for MSEK 97 during the first half of the year.
  • · In May, Eva Vitell announced that she was leaving the Board of Arise at her own request, since she had accepted a position with Svenska Kraftnät.
  • In May, the Lebo wind farm was completed. The wind farm is fully owned by Arise, has a capacity of 33 MW and is located in price area 3. Following the completion, Lebo is part of the Production segment.
  • Arise announced in June that the earnout payment for the Ranasjö- and Salsjöhöjden project had been established at MEUR 6.6, which was received in the same month. Of the earnout amount, MEUR 4.2 had already been recognised whereby the earnings effect for the quarter amounted to MEUR 2.4.
  • Finsilva, one of Finland's largest landowners. The cooperation opens up opportunities for the development of new wind and solar projects, which may also include battery storage. Five project areas have been identified with estimated potential of approximately 500 MW.

A strong quarter and healthy growth in the project portfolio

The company delivered a strong quarter with EBITDA of MSEK 53 and net profit of MSEK 30, especially considering that the second quarter is normally a period of lower production revenue. Favourable price hedging and the Lebo project, which increases our own production by more than 25%, contribute to the result. We also received the earnout for the Ranasjö- and Salsjöhöjden project. We are continuing to present very healthy growth in our project portfolio, which increased by 745 MW. Furthermore, our focus on accelerating projects has resulted in projects in late developmental phase increasing by 175 MW. In total, this means that we are in line with delivering on our financial targets.

Arise has an established organisation that is making good progress in the UK in all technologies (wind/solar/battery storage). The new government in the UK has taken steps to accelerate the expansion of onshore wind and solar power in England. For example, the permitting process for onshore wind power is being significantly improved with the aim of doubling capacity by 2030. The target for solar power is to triple capacity. We are well positioned to capitalise on the improved market conditions and have several wind projects under development that are now being accelerated.

It is also gratifying to state that we are continuing to make good progress in Finland which the cooperation agreement with Finsilva, one of Finland's largest landowners, is further confirmation of

Electricity prices were at a significantly lower level during the quarter compared to the same period last year, driven by a high supply of solar power in Europe and low demand. At the same time, we have had relatively weak winds and thus low wind power production. Despite these conditions, own production is making a strong contribution to earnings.

The current situation in the electricity market and macroeconomic factors such as the interest rate market have likely impacted traditional investors' yield requirements and project valuations. Meanwhile, we have seen examples of private equity players entering the market with a patently positive market view. We believe that several factors, such as lower interest rates, the trend in investment costs and potentially higher electricity prices, could contribute to a recovery as early as this year. Arise's strong financial position means that we now have the option to optimise value by deciding ourselves if and when we want to sell projects.

Finally, we have now ended the first half of the year with strong earnings despite a weaker market and a solid performance when it comes to growing our project portfolio and completing projects. Our business model clearly works well. We maintain our strong belief in the market, the ambition of selling at least one project during the year remains and we expect 2024 to be another good year in which we continue to deliver shareholder value.

Halmstad, 17 July 2024 Per-Erik Eriksson CEO

Comments on the second quarter

Income for Development increased slightly compared with the year-earlier quarter due to the earnout received for Ranasjö- and Salsjöhöjden. In Production, the second quarter was characterised by significantly lower market prices for electricity than in the same period last year. Despite higher production, with the takeover of Lebo in commercial operation in May, production revenue declined. Revenue in Solutions increased from the year-earlier period primarily due to the asset management assignment for Skaftåsen and assignment during the construction of Fasikan.

Net sales amounted to MSEK 101 (110). Production generated 69 GWh (54) of green electricity while the average realised price declined to SEK 549 per MWh (947). Operating expenses amounted to MSEK -57 (-46). Overall, EBITDA amounted to MSEK 53 (69). Depreciation amounted to MSEK -20 (-16), resulting in EBIT of MSEK 33 (53). Net financial items amounted to MSEK -3 (-17), of which exchange rate differences corresponded to MSEK 7 (-4). The company's electricity production assets are valued in EUR and income is received in EUR. The company has therefore chosen to take loans in EUR, creating a natural hedge. Changes to the EUR/SEK exchange rate will continue to affect comparability of net financial items, whereby a strengthening of SEK will improve the net and vice versa. Corresponding reverse value changes in SEK terms for the underlying assets are not recognised. Profit before and after tax amounted to MSEK 30 (36).

Cash flow and investments

Comments on the second quarter

Cash flow from operating activities before changes in working capital was MSEK 60 (69). Changes in working capital were MSEK -36 (-9) and the total operating cash flow was thus MSEK 24 (60). Net cash flow from investing activities was MSEK -59 (-227), with the majority driven by investments in Lebo. Cash flow after investments thus amounted to MSEK -34 (-167). New loans amounting to MSEK 23 (0) related to Lebo were raised and amortisations totalling MSEK -27 (-40) were paid. Interest and financing costs of MSEK -24 (-19) were paid. Share buybacks and dividends were carried out for a total of MSEK -100 (-44), after which cash flow for the quarter, adjusted for lease effects, amounted to MSEK -165 (-273).

Financing and liquidity

At the end of the period, the company had a net debt of MSEK 358 (32), an increase primarily explained by loans raised related to the construction of the Lebo project, which was completed during the quarter. In addition, the company has paid dividends and carried out share buybacks in order to optimise the company's capital structure and increase shareholder value. Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the period totalled MSEK 804 (946). At the end of the period, the equity/assets ratio was 57% (59), which was also impacted by the cancellation of 1,780,934 shares as resolved by the AGM.

Development

Comments on the second quarter

Revenue increased slightly during the quarter, driven by the earnout received for Ranasjöand Salsjöhöjden, which had an earnings effect of MEUR 2.4 in the quarter. Since the company's revenue recognition is in EUR, a stronger SEK had a negative impact on revenue during the quarter. The Lebo project was completed in early May and was then transferred to the Production segment.

The project portfolio continued to develop positively during the quarter and efforts to accelerate projects led to an increase in late-stage projects by 175 MW, related to battery projects in Sweden and Finland. In Finland, a cooperation agreement was signed between Pohjan Voima and Finsilva during the quarter, which has the potential for almost 500 MW in its initial phase. Development activities in the UK are also progressing and the UK project portfolio increased by more than 100 MW during the quarter. The new UK government has specifically stated that it will focus on the development of renewable energy, including a new regulatory framework for onshore wind power in England. Over the past year, the company has

evaluated a number of areas for wind power with total potential of 300 MW and is well positioned to now accelerate development and qualify these for the project portfolio. Line concession work is ongoing for Finnåberget in Sweden and the continued goal is to be able to divest the project in 2025, though there is still some uncertainty regarding the capacity of the grid connection. Development activities related to the solar projects and battery projects in Sweden also reported a positive performance for the quarter. In Ukraine, discussions on cooperation and evaluation of several projects with good potential are ongoing, and we are continuing to see increased activity in the market.

Income increased to MSEK 52 (50). Cost of sold projects amounted to MSEK -1 (0). Other operating expenses and capitalised work totalled MSEK -18 (-9). EBITDA amounted to MSEK 33 (42). Depreciation and amortisation amounted to MSEK -1 (0), whereby EBIT amounted to MSEK 33 (42). Net financial items amounted to MSEK -16 (-13), of which exchange rate differences corresponded to MSEK -7 (-1). Profit before tax thus amounted to MSEK 16 (29).

Portfolio

Arise's development portfolio on the reporting date is presented below, amounting to almost 7,900 MW. The portfolio is divided into projects in late developmental phases, which amount to a total of almost 1,100 MW, and projects in early developmental phases, which amount to a total of approximately 6,800 MW. The company is working actively to expand the project portfolio particularly concerning wind and solar power in the Nordic countries, UK and Ukraine, but is also continuously evaluating new geographies. Efforts to expand the project portfolio include greenfield projects and acquisitions of projects at varying stages. The company is also developing several projects in battery storage.

In working to increase its project portfolio, Arise is evaluating a number of different conceivable projects. The vast majority of the projects being evaluated do not qualify for further development as they are not deemed realisable given their productions (wind and solar conditions), permit risks, grid capacity and economic potential. These primary factors were determined to be promising for the projects below. While individual projects may not always be realised, the overall project portfolio represents high potential value for the company, with relatively little capital tied-up and low risk.

Comments on the second quarter

The quarter was characterised by significantly lower market prices than in the same period last year. With the inclusion of Lebo in the segment from May, production at the company's wind farms increased to 69 GWh (54). However, average income decreased markedly to SEK 549 per MWh (947) due to significantly lower market prices than in the year-earlier period. The company's price hedges meant that the average income nonetheless was in line with the average market price for the period.

Income amounted to MSEK 38 (52). Operating expenses amounted to MSEK -15 (-16), corresponding to a specific operating expense of SEK -220 per MWh (-301). EBITDA thus decreased to MSEK 23 (36). Depreciation increased to MSEK -18 (-15) and EBIT thus amounted to MSEK 5 (21). Net financial items amounted to MSEK 7 (-15), of which exchange rate differences corresponded to MSEK 11 (-11). Profit before tax thus amounted to MSEK 12 (6).

In accordance with IFRS, the production assets are not recognised at market value, but the company tests for impairment annually. In the impairment test in 2023, the value in use of the production assets exceeded the carrying amount by about MEUR 60% (85), which is included in the key performance indicator "Adjusted equity per share."

1) Based on a discount rate of 8.2%, the company's forecasts and energy price forecasts prepared by external experts. A change in the discount rate of +/- one percentage point would affect the value by approximately MEUR 10.

Comments on the second quarter

In Solutions, the Fasikan construction management assignment and the Skaftåsen asset management assignment led to increased income compared with the year-earlier period. Income amounted to MSEK 14 (10). Operating expenses amounted to MSEK -10 (-9). EBITDA amounted to MSEK 3 (0). Depreciation and financial items were MSEK 0 (0) and EBIT and profit/loss before tax thus amounted to MSEK 3 (0).

Other significant events during the quarter

There were no other significant events during the quarter.

Related-party transactions

No significant transactions with related parties took place during the period.

Contingent liabilities

The Group's contingent liabilities are related to guarantees and counter indemnities that are issued to support the Group's obligations connected to solar and wind power projects. These are described in more detail on page 89 under Note 22 in the 2023 Annual Report.

Other significant events after the end of the reporting period

There were no other significant events after the end of the reporting period.

Outlook

There continues to be high uncertainty and global risks concerning security politics and energy supply, which makes the ongoing energy transition increasingly obvious in society. Despite a weak economy, demand for renewable energy production remains very strong. The company is well positioned with production of renewable electricity and a strong project portfolio. Accordingly, we see very good opportunities for continued growth and continued shareholder value creation. Our strong financial situation means that we have increased opportunities to maximise value creation in the business and also optimise our long-term income from both production and the project portfolio.

Risks and uncertainties

Risks and uncertainties affecting the Group are described on pages 49-50 of the 2023 Annual Report, and financial risk management is presented on pages 79-83.
