INTERIM REPORT 1 JANUARY-31 MARCH 2023
In April 2023, Arise completed the previously announced acquisition of approximately 51% of the shares in Pohjan Voima Oy.
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.
A quarter that can be summed up by the completion of our first business acquisition, the signing of the agreement with Persson Invest regarding development of renewable electricity production on their land, and our production delivering record-high earnings.
We are proud to have acquired 51% of the Finnish developer Pohjan Voima Oy. With this acquisition, we have a controlling interest in a successful development organisation with a project portfolio of very high quality that has already increased from 1.7 GW to approximately 1.8 GW. The portfolio contains both wind and solar projects of which a significant portion, approximately 600 MW, comprises projects in late stage development. In addition to an attractive portfolio, we see that the structure and entrepreneur-focused cultures of our two companies fit very well together. In just a short time, Pohjan Voima has built up an impressive project portfolio and succeeded in becoming an established operator in the Finnish market, and with our in-house experience and resources throughout the supply chain, Arise can make a contribution starting in the project development phase but perhaps primarily in the transaction phase, project implementation, and asset management phase. This will be a strong combination, and we can see that the potential for development remains significant.
In January, we also signed an agreement with Persson Invest, one of the larger private landowners in Sweden, regarding granting Arise the rights to develop potential wind power projects on Persson Invest's land. An initial assessment shows a potential of around 500 MW.
Our own production delivered 87 GWh during the quarter, which was about 10% under budget. The average market price in SE4 was approximately EUR 89 per MWh, compared with EUR 110 per MWh in the year-earlier period. Despite lower electricity prices and lower production levels, income from production still reached record-high levels since our price hedges yielded a significantly positive contribution. Here, we see the benefit of actively engaging in a long-term price-hedging strategy.
The electricity market cooled to more normal prices after a mild winter with well-filled gas stocks in Europe and hydrology at largely normal levels in the Nordic countries. The weather is expected to continue driving the market, and we can confirm that the balance between supply and demand is a sensitive one.
In conclusion, the company has had a very good start to the year. We are delivering on our strategy of diversifying the company as regards geographies and technology, and we experienced robust growth in our project portfolio. Our production is delivering record-high earnings, and we are in an exciting growth phase with ongoing intensive efforts in developing our business in all markets where we have a presence. The comments from our latest report stand firm: 2023 has every possibility of becoming yet another successful year for the company.
"Despite lower electricity prices and lower production, income from production still reached recordhigh levels since our price hedges yielded a significantly positive contribution. Here, we see the benefit of actively engaging in a long-term price-hedging strategy."

*Items affecting comparability comprise exchange rate differences on bank loan, bond loan and unallocated bond proceeds, all inforeign currencies.
Income for Development increased compared with the year-earlier quarter due to revenue recognition from Kölvallen. 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 107 [88]. Production generated 87 GWh [100] of green electricity while the average realised price increased to SEK 936 per MWh (756) as a result of the positive contribution from the price hedges. Operating expenses amounted to MSEK -33 [-28].
EBITDA increased to MSEK 76 (61). Depreciation increased slightly to MSEK -16 (-15), resulting in EBIT of MSEK 61 [46].
Net financial items, excluding items affecting comparability, amounted to MSEK 2 [-4]. 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 first 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 -11 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, the value in use exceeded the carrying amount by approximately MEUR 851).
Recognised profit before and after tax amounted to MSEK 52 [37].
Based on a discount rate of 7.4%, the company's forecasts and energy price forecasts prepared by external experts. A change in the dis- $11$ count rate of +/- one percentage point would affect the value by approximately MEUR 10.
Cash flow from operating activities before changes in working capital was MSEK 74 (59). Changes in working capital were MSEK-44 [9], impacted in part by revenue recognition for Kölvallen during the period. Total operating cash flow was thus MSEK 30 (67). Net cash flow from investing activities was MSEK -71 [-20]. Cash flow after investments thus amounted to MSEK-41 [47]. There were no amortisations during the quarter. Interest and other financing costs of MSEK-11 [-3] were paid. No net payments to or from blocked accounts took place, after which cash flow, adjusted for lease effects, amounted to MSEK-56 (37).
At the end of the period, the company had net cash of MSEK 241 compared with net debt of MSEK 263 at the end of the year-earlier quarter. Cash and cash equivalents amounted to MSEK 1,179 (107). In addition, the company signed 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 61% (54).

Income increased during the quarter due to revenue recognition in the Kölvallen project which was initiated in the third quarter of 2022.
The construction of the Lebo project continued during the quarter and is progressing without material deviations, and is expected to be commissioned in the first quarter of 2024.
During the quarter, the company signed an agreement to acquire 51% of the Finnish company Pohjan Voima Oy, which has developed a well-diversified portfolio of onshore wind and solar projects across Finland, with a current project portfolio of approximately 1.8 GW, which entails an increase of approximately 100 MW since the agreement was signed. The transaction was completed in April 2023. During the guarter, an agreement was also signed with Persson Invest for development rights for a large portion of their land, with an estimated potential of approximately 500 MW. Development activities also continued during the quarter for the HT Skogar portfolio. 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 and application for grid connection have been submitted and are in process. Development activities related to the solar projects in southern Sweden continued during the quarter. Additionally, the company has added a battery project of approximately 40 MW that is in an early developmental stage. In total, the company now has a portfolio of renewable energy projects of approximately 5.5 GW at its disposal, an increase of approximately 2.4 GW during the quarter, which is presented in more detail under the Portfolio section.
Income increased to MSEK 17 (7). The cost of sold projects amounted to MSEK 0 (0). Other operating expenses and capitalised work totalled MSEK-6 [-2]. EBITDA increased to MSEK 11 (4). Depreciation and amortisation amounted to MSEK 0 [0], whereby EBIT amounted to MSEK 11 [4]. Net financial items, excluding items affecting comparability, amounted to MSEK -2 [-2] and comparable profit/loss before tax thus increased to MSEK 9 (3). In the first quarter, the comparability of net financial items was impacted by exchange rate differences for bond loan and unallocated bond proceeds of MSEK -5 due to the EUR strengthening against the SEK. Recognised profit before tax thus amounted to MSEK 3 [3].
Arise's development portfolio is presented below, totalling approximately 5.5 GW. The consolidated carrying amount was approximately MSEK 81, excluding Pohjan Voima and 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 900 MW, and projects in early developmental phases, which amount to a total of approximately 4.6 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 organisation is continuing to expand as part of the company's growth strategy.
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.

Winds were weaker than in the year-earlier period and production at the company's wind farms amounted to 87 GWh (100). The quarter was marked by lower levels of volatility in market prices, as well as lower price levels than in the year-earlier quarter. The market price (weighted average for SE3 and SE4) totalled SEK 965 per MWh (1,134). Despite the lower market price, the company's price hedges contributed to an increase in the average income for electricity, including certificates and guarantees of origin, to SEK 936 per MWh (756). Average income for electricity was thus only 3% under the market price.
Income increased to MSEK 82 [75] compared with year-earlier period. The specific operating expense amounted to SEK-117 SEK per MWh [-101]. EBITDA increased to MSEK 72 (65) compared with the year-earlier quarter. Depreciation amounted to MSEK-15 [-15] and EBIT thus increased to MSEK 57 [50].
Net financial items, excluding items affecting comparability, amounted to MSEK-2 [-2]. Profit before tax, before items affecting comparability, therefore increased to MSEK 55 (48). In the first quarter, the comparability of net financial items was impacted by exchange rate differences for loan in foreign currencies of
MSEK-5 due to the EUR strengthening against the SEK. Recognised profit before tax thus amounted to MSEK 49 [44].
In accordance with IFRS, the production assets are not recognised at market price, but the company tests for impairment annually. In the most recent impairment test, the value in use exceeded the carrying amount by approximately MEUR 851).

In Solutions, the project and asset management assignment related to Kölvallen continued during the quarter, which contributed positively to income compared with the year-earlier period. At the same time, the organisation was further strengthened to meet expected growth and new assignments.
Income amounted to MSEK 10 (7). Operating expenses amounted to MSEK -10 (-8). EBITDA was MSEK -1 (-2). Depreciation and impairment and financial items were MSEK 0 (0) and EBIT and profit before tax thus amounted to MSEK -1 [-2].
In January 2023, Arise signed an agreement with Persson Invest, one of Sweden's largest private landowners. The agreement pertains to development rights for potential wind power projects on a large portion of Persson Invest's land, for which the company sees good potential to realise new wind power. According to the assessment from the company, the potential amounts to approximately 500 MW. In March 2023, Arise signed an agreement to acquire 51% of the Finnish company Pohjan Voima Oy. Pohjan Voima Oy has developed a well-diversified portfolio of onshore wind and solar projects across Finland, with a project portfolio that at the time of the signing was approximately 1.7 GW.
In April 2023, Arise completed the previously announced acquisition of approximately 51% of the shares in Pohjan Voima Oy.
No significant transactions with related parties took place during the period.
The Group's contingent liabilities are related to quarantees 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.
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 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.
A presentation of the company's ownership structure is available on the website (www.arise.se)
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 quarter, the Parent Company's total income amounted to MSEK 10 (8) and purchases of electricity and certificates, personnel and other external expenses, capitalised work on own account and depreciation of non-current assets totalled MSEK -23 (-19), resulting in EBIT of MSEK -12 (-11). A net financial expense of MSEK-11 [-2] and Group contributions of MSEK 0 (67) led to net profit/loss after tax of MSEK-23 (53). The Parent Company's net investments amounted to MSEK-51 [-3].
