About Arise

Arise is a leading independent company that realises new green energy. The company develops, builds and manages renewable electricity production. The company is listed on Nasdaq Stockholm.

CEO's statement

The company's first half of the year was very strong in terms of earnings. Production during the second quarter was significantly under budget, particularly in June when we had widespread high pressure and record low winds. Earnings for the quarter are nonetheless at a historically good level, largely due to the positive contributions of our price hedges. The realised average price for our production during the quarter was at a new record level, SEK 947/MWh. It is very gratifying to state that our production consistently demonstrates healthy profitability and complements our other business segments well.

Arise has a strong focus on profitable growth. Our project portfolio is growing continuously in Sweden and other countries where we operate: in the first half of the year we saw an excellent rate of growth corresponding to approximately 2,600 MW. The development of Pohjan Voima's project portfolio is very promising and progresses according to plan. We further strengthened the organisation in the UK with internal resources to increase the rate of growth for our project portfolio (wind, solar and batteries) and to develop our ongoing projects to ready to build stage.

The Skaftåsen project has now finally been taken over after a long delay. The final settlement of the earnout payment is expected during the third quarter.

The electricity market will likely remain governed by the weather. So far we have seen significantly lower prices compared to 2022, but also significantly lower profile costs, meaning the actual prices for wind power improved relative to the spot price. The European electricity system remains sensitive, meaning that a cold winter could quickly mean a new period of extremely high prices.

The conditions for investment were affected by rising interest rates and increased inflation during the past year, while the current long-term electricity price forecasts have been adjusted downwards. A counteracting force is that demand for projects remains high in relation to the offering. We continue to see healthy profitability in project development, but our assessment is that the short-term valuations of projects have been negatively affected compared with the previous year with its very high multiples. We believe that a sharp increase in industrial consumption entails an equivalent increase in demand for renewable electricity production, which will drive the market in the year ahead.

In conclusion, half of the year is now behind us, with a good performance for the company both in terms of financial earnings as well as more long-term goals connected to our growth strategy. We look forward to the second half of 2023 with confidence.

The company will organise a capital markets day in September, where we will present the operations and our concrete goals for the years ahead and in the longer term. With this, I wish everyone a wonderful summer and a relaxing vacation – hopefully with both sun and wind!

COMMENTS ON THE SECOND QUARTER

Income for Development increased compared with the year-earlier quarter due to revenue recognition from Kölvallen and that Skaftåsen also was commercially taken over. The previously discontinued revenue recognition from Skaftåsen was reinstated during the quarter, which had a positive impact on income within Development. The earnout for Skaftåsen is expected to be settled during the third quarter. Income in Solutions also increased as a result of Kölvallen, since the company has the project and asset management assignment for the project. In Production, winds were weaker than normal while market prices were lower than in the year-earlier quarter. However, the positive contribution from the company's price hedges in the quarter led to total income in Production increasing despite this.

Net sales increased to MSEK 110 (53). Production generated 54 GWh (61) of green electricity while the average realised price increased to SEK 947 per MWh (675) as a result of the positive contribution from the price hedges. Operating expenses increased to MSEK -46 (-32). Own capitalised work amounted to MSEK 3 (2).

EBITDA increased to MSEK 69 (25). Depreciation amounted to MSEK -16 (-15), resulting in EBIT of MSEK 53 (10).

Net financial items, excluding items affecting comparability, amounted to MSEK 20 (-2). The company's electricity production assets are valued in EUR and income is received in EUR. The company therefore chose to take financing 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. In the second quarter, the comparability of net financial items was impacted by exchange rate differences for bank loans, bond loans and unallocated bond proceeds in foreign currencies of MSEK -37 due to the EUR strengthening against the SEK.

In accordance with IFRS, the production assets are not recognized at market value, but the company tests for impairment annually. In the most recent impairment test in the second half of 2022, the value in use exceeded the carrying amount by approximately MEUR 851) .

Recognised profit/loss before and after tax amounted to MSEK 36 (-6).

1) Based on a discount rate of 7.4%, 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 FIRST HALF OF THE YEAR

Income from Development increased year on year. Despite lower production compared with the yearearlier period, income in Production increased due to positive contributions from price hedges. In total, 141 GWh (161) of green electricity was produced, and the average price for production totalled SEK 940 per MWh (725). Income from Solutions performed as expected. Total net sales increased to MSEK 217 (141) compared with year-earlier period.

Operating expenses amounted to MSEK -79 (-60). Own capitalised work amounted to MSEK 5 (3).

EBITDA increased to MSEK 145 (86), and EBIT increased to MSEK 114 (56). Profit before tax before items affecting comparability thus increased to MSEK 136 (49). During the first half of the year, the comparability of net financial items was impacted by exchange rate differences for bank loans, bond loans and unallocated bond proceeds in foreign currencies of MSEK -48 due to the EUR strengthening against the SEK. Recognised profit before tax thus amounted to MSEK 88 (32). Profit after tax amounted to MSEK 88 (31).

Cash flow and investments

COMMENTS ON THE SECOND QUARTER

Cash flow from operating activities before changes in working capital was MSEK 69 (22). Changes in working capital were MSEK -9 (45). Accordingly, the total operating cash flow was MSEK 60 (67). Net cash flow from investing activities was MSEK -227 (-79), driven primarily by the acquisition of Pohjan Voima and investments in the Lebo project. Cash flow after investments thus amounted to MSEK -167 (-12). Amortisations totalling MSEK -40 (-7) were paid during the quarter. A dividend totalling MSEK - 44 (0) was paid. Interest and other financing costs of MSEK -19 (-10) were paid, after which cash flow, adjusted for lease effects, amounted to MSEK -273 (492) for the quarter, with the year-earlier period also including the issue of bond loans of MSEK 523.

COMMENTS ON THE FIRST HALF OF THE YEAR

Cash flow from operating activities before changes in working capital was MSEK 143 (81). Changes in working capital were MSEK -53 (54). Total operating cash flow was thus MSEK 90 (134). Net cash flow from investing activities was MSEK -298 (-99), driven primarily by the acquisition of Pohjan Voima and investments in the Lebo and Kölvallen projects. Cash flow after investments thus amounted to MSEK -208 (35). Amortisations totalling MSEK -40 (-11) were paid during the period. A dividend totalling MSEK -44 (0) was paid. Interest and other financing costs of MSEK -30 (-14) were

paid. No net payments to or from blocked accounts took place, after which cash flow, adjusted for lease effects, amounted to MSEK -329 (529) for the period.

Financing and liquidity

Net debt amounted to MSEK 32 (290). Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the period totalled MSEK 946 (611). In addition, the company has a project financing agreement for the Lebo project, which is expected to be utilised during the year but had not been at the end of the period. At the end of the period, the equity/assets ratio was 59% (35).

COMMENTS ON THE SECOND QUARTER

Income increased during the quarter due in part to revenue recognition in the Kölvallen project which was initiated in the third quarter of 2022. Revenue recognition was also resumed for Skaftåsen during the quarter, since the project was commercially taken over and visibility for the earnout increased. The final earnout for Skaftåsen is expected to be settled during the third quarter.

The construction of the Lebo project continued during the quarter and is progressing without any material deviations. The project is expected to be put into operation during the fourth quarter of 2023, with commercial take over during the first quarter of 2024.

Development activities continued during the quarter for the HT Skogar portfolio as work intensified with development on Persson Invest's land. In the UK, work continued to develop the major solar project and to secure new project rights. For the Tormsdale project in Scotland, the permit application is in process and the electricity connection is secured. Development activities related to solar projects in southern Sweden and battery projects in Sweden continued during the quarter. Another battery project of approximately 40 MW in an early developmental phase was added to the portfolio during the quarter. The conditions for electricity connection at Finnåberget improved, increasing capacity to approximately 200 MW. In total, the company now has a portfolio of renewable energy projects of approximately 5.7 GW at its disposal, an increase of approximately 200 MW during the quarter, which is presented in more detail under the Portfolio section.

Income increased to MSEK 50 (7), of which approximately MSEK 24 was attributable to resumed revenue recognition for Skaftåsen. Other operating expenses and capitalised work totalled MSEK -9 (-6). EBITDA thus amounted to MSEK 42 (1). Depreciation and amortisation amounted to MSEK 0 (0), whereby EBIT amounted to MSEK 42 (1). Net financial items excluding items affecting comparability amounted to MSEK 6 (-4) and comparable profit/loss before tax thus increased to MSEK 48 (-3). In the second quarter, the comparability of net financial items was impacted by exchange rate differences for bond loan and unallocated bond proceeds of MSEK -19 due to the EUR strengthening against the SEK. Recognised profit/loss before tax thus amounted to MSEK 29 (-3).

COMMENTS ON THE FIRST HALF OF THE YEAR

Income increased to MSEK 67 (14) compared with year-earlier period. Other operating expenses and capitalised work amounted to MSEK -15 (-8), after which EBITDA and EBIT increased to MSEK 53 (6). Net financial items excluding items affecting comparability amounted to MSEK 4 (-6) and comparable profit/loss before tax thus increased to MSEK 56 (0). During the first half of the year, the comparability of net financial items was impacted by exchange rate differences for bond loan and unallocated bond proceeds of MSEK -24 due to the EUR strengthening against the SEK. Recognised profit/loss before tax thus amounted to MSEK 33 (0).

PORTFOLIO

Arise's development portfolio is presented below, totalling approximately 5.7 GW. The consolidated carrying amount was approximately MSEK 127, excluding Lebo, at the end of the period. Fully developed, the portfolio would equate to an investment level of about SEK 70–80 billion.

The portfolio is divided into projects in later developmental phases, which amount to a total of approximately 1.0 GW, and projects in early developmental phases, which amount to a total of approximately 4.7 GW. The company is working actively to expand the project portfolio particularly concerning wind and solar power in the Nordic countries and in the UK. 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 evaluates 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 production conditions (wind and solar conditions), permit risks, electricity 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

In Production, winds were weaker than normal for the period and production in the company's wind farms amounted to 54 GWh (61). At the same time, the average income for electricity incl. certificates and guarantees of origin increased to SEK 947 per MWh (675). The company's price hedging was a strong contributing factor to increased average income.

Income amounted to MSEK 52 (42), an increase directly attributable to the higher average income compared with the year-earlier period. The specific operating expense increased compared with the year-earlier period to SEK -301 per MWh (-145) during the quarter, most of which was due to additional costs related to the company's GE wind farms, which corresponded to approximately SEK - 100/MWh during the quarter. The arbitration process for these wind farms is ongoing.

EBITDA increased to MSEK 36 (33) compared with the second quarter of 2022. Depreciation amounted to MSEK -15 (-15) and EBIT thus increased to MSEK 21 (18).

Net financial items excluding items affecting comparability amounted to MSEK 4 (1) and comparable profit before tax thus increased to MSEK 25 (19). In the second quarter, the comparability of net financial items was impacted by exchange rate differences for loans in foreign currencies of MSEK -19 due to the EUR strengthening against the SEK. Recognised profit before tax thus amounted to MSEK 6 (6).

COMMENTS ON THE FIRST HALF OF THE YEAR

Production at the company's wind farms amounted to 141 GWh (161) due to weaker winds during both quarters compared with last year. The average income for electricity including certificates and guarantees of origin increased at the same time to SEK 940 per MWh (725).

Income amounted to MSEK 134 (117). Specific operating expense amounted to SEK -188 (-118) per MWh. EBITDA increased to MSEK 107 (98). Depreciation amounted to MSEK -30 (-30), on a par with the year-earlier period, and EBIT increased to MSEK 78 (68).

Net financial items excluding items affecting comparability amounted to MSEK 2 (-1) and comparable profit before tax thus increased to MSEK 79 (68). In the first half of the year, the comparability of net financial items was impacted by exchange rate differences for loans in foreign currencies of MSEK -24 due to the EUR strengthening against the SEK. Recognised profit before tax thus amounted to MSEK 55 (50).

OTHER SIGNIFICANT EVENTS

In April 2023, Arise completed the previously announced acquisition of approximately 51% of the shares in Pohjan Voima Oy. The shares were acquired for a total amount of approximately MEUR 30, of which approximately MEUR 18 in earn-out payments that are conditional upon the fulfilment of certain criteria in the development of the projects.

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 21 in the 2022 Annual Report.

SIGNIFICANT EVENTS AFTER THE END OF THE REPORTING PERIOD

No significant events have taken place 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 weaker economy and market situation, 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 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 2022 Annual Report, and financial risk management is presented on pages 77–83. No significant changes have taken place that affect the reported risks.

OWNERSHIP STRUCTURE

A presentation of the company's ownership structure is available on the website (www.arise.se)

Parent Company

The Parent Company's operations comprise project development (identifying suitable solar and wind power locations, signing land lease agreements, producing impact assessments, preparing detailed development plans and permits), divesting projects, contracts and project management of new projects, managing internal and external projects (technically and financially) and managing the Group's electricity and electricity-certificate trading activities.

The Parent Company manages the Group's production plans and electricity hedges in accordance with the adopted financial policy.

During the first half of the year, the Parent Company's total income amounted to MSEK 21 (17) and purchases of electricity and certificates, personnel costs and other external expenses, capitalised work on own account and depreciation/amortisation of non-current assets totalled MSEK -46 (-42), resulting in EBIT of MSEK -25 (-25). A net financial expense of MSEK -14 (-2) and Group contributions of MSEK 0 (67) led to net profit/loss after tax of MSEK -39 (40). The Parent Company's net investments amounted to MSEK -251 (-1).

ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Arise applies the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), as adopted by the EU, and the interpretations of these (IFRIC). This interim report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The Parent Company's financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and Recommendation RFR 2 of the Swedish Financial Reporting Board. With the exception of what is set out below, the accounting policies are consistent with those applied in the 2022 annual report.

Recognition of asset acquisitions

Business combinations where the principal aim is to acquire the company's project portfolio and rights and where management organization and administration of the company is of lesser importance for the acquisition are classified as asset acquisitions. Arise has therefore assessed that the acquisition of Pohjan Voima is an asset acquisition.
