OX2 has a business model for the development and sale of renewable electricity generation capacity. The model is divided into three phases: Expand, Develop and Deliver.


During the first quarter, we continued to expand our project development portfolio, including two new offshore projects in Sweden and Finland, as well as onshore wind projects in Estonia. The construction portfolio performed well with good profitability and we handed over three wind farms in Finland to our customer. We took a key step in our geographical expansion strategy in late March when we signed an agreement to acquire a leading renewable energy developer in the Australian market.
Our project development portfolio is important for OX2's ability to grow and create value over time. In January-March, the development portfolio grew by around 4.8 GW, reaching 33,095 MW at the end of the period. Our first Estonian projects were added to the portfolio during the quarter, consisting of early stage onshore wind projects that we develop jointly with our local partner. OX2 now has projects under development in ten European markets.
We added two new offshore wind projects to the portfolio: Tyrsky in the Gulf of Bothnia in Finland, with a potential installed capacity of 1.4 GW, and the large-scale Neptunus energy park in Sweden, with a potential installed capacity of 1.9 GW. OX2 now has almost 18 GW of offshore projects in its portfolio, which provides opportunities for recurring revenues by capitalizing on value creation throughout the development phase. In January the County Administrative Board of Halland gave its approval for one of our offshore projects in Sweden, Galatea-Galene
OX2 has a strategy of continued geographical expansion in markets where we see potential for value creation and to contribute to the transition to renewable energy. On March 31, we signed an agreement to acquire ESCO Pacific, a leading renewable energy developer in Australia. We are pleased to welcome an experienced local team to OX2. ESCO Pacific's project development portfolio totals 1,420 MW, consisting of approximately 1,220 MW of solar power and 200 MW of energy storage. We see great potential for OX2 in Australia, where as much as 70 percent of electricity production currently comes from fossil energy sources. It is expected that ESCO Pacific will contribute positively to OX2's results in 2024 and beyond and we see good opportunities to develop the business towards selling operational solar parks at the start of construction, scaling up the business through project acquisitions and, over time, broadening the offering towards onshore wind power. We expect the acquisition to be closed in the second quarter.

Paul Stormoen, CEO
We are pleased to note that two important permits for onshore wind projects entered into legal force during the quarter: Rajamäenkylä in Finland, one of our largest onshore projects ever with an estimated capacity of up to 356 MW, and Ånglarna in Sweden, with just above 100 MW. We are now engaged in the procurement and preparatory sales processes for these projects and we see good opportunities to start construction for both of them during the year.
Our construction business continues to perform well, with solid profitability, and during the quarter we delivered three commissioned wind farms in Finland to our customer Renewable Power Capital. OX2's asset management business continues to grow and two new external management contracts were signed during the quarter. The management portfolio grew by around 28 percent on an annual basis.
We have a positive view of the market. The demand for renewable electricity is expected to grow over the long term, driven by the electrification of our society, a clear ambition to meet climate targets and the need to reduce Europe's dependence on gas imports. We continue to invest in development and our organization to take

advantage of these opportunities. Our ability to attract and retain the best talent is key to achieving our goals. Our geographical expansion has further strengthened our ability to attract key talent while creating new development opportunities for our employees.
Over the past few years, we have demonstrated that OX2 has a robust business model that enables high returns over time, despite our turbulent world with inflation, supply chain challenges and rising interest rates. OX2 currently has a total portfolio, including our construction and management portfolio, of around 43 GW. We have successfully broadened the business, both geographically and in terms of products, and now have greater flexibility to create value at different stages of the value chain, which is a strength that helps to reduce the risk and volatility of our business.
OX2 has sales processes underway in both solar and wind power on a number of geographical markets and customer demand remains strong. We have a positive outlook for developments in 2023 and we expect the majority of this year's sales to take place in the second half of the year.
Paul Stormoen
It is OX2's project development portfolio that creates long-term value and determines the company's ability to drive the transition to renewable energy. The portfolio consists of greenfield projects, as well as acquired wind, solar and energy storage projects in various phases of development and in different markets. Development and optimization of these projects take a long time and not all projects will be realized. The probability of a project being realized increases the further on in the development phase the project is.
At the end of the first quarter, the portfolio totaled 33.1 GW (28.3 GW), comprising offshore wind power of 17.8 GW (12.4 GW), onshore wind power of 10.5 GW (8.2 GW), solar power of 4.3 GW (2.8 GW) and energy storage of 0.6 GW (0 GW). During the quarter, the project development portfolio increased by 4,831 MW, driven by greenfield projects of 3,612 MW, project acquisitions of 952 MW and net changes in existing projects of 268 MW. OX2 added two new offshore projects totaling 3,300 MW to the portfolio during the quarter - Tyrsky in the Gulf of Bothnia in the Finnish Exclusive Economic Zone with a potential installed capacity of 1,400 MW, and Neptunus in the Swedish Exclusive Economic Zone off Blekinge, with a potential installed capacity of 1,900 MW. In addition to offshore projects totaling 17.8 GW, OX2 has the possibility of a contingent consideration equivalent to SEK 1 million per MW, if permits are obtained for the 4.4 GW sold last year.
During the quarter, greenfield solar projects of 312 MW in Sweden, Poland, France and Åland were included in the project development portfolio.
Project acquisitions of 952 MW were completed in onshore wind, solar and energy storage in Estonia, Poland, Italy and Sweden. The acquisitions included OX2's first projects in Estonia, totaling 665 MW, which are being developed with a local partner.
The project development portfolio made good progress, with several milestones achieved. During the quarter, two permits for onshore wind entered into legal force, Rajamäenkylä in Finland and Ånglarna in Sweden. The preparatory sales process and procurement of turbines were initiated and construction is expected to begin during the year.
On March 31, OX2 signed an agreement to acquire ESCO Pacific, a leading and profitable renewable energy developer in Australia with an experienced local team and a project development portfolio of 1,420 MW, consisting of 1,220 MW of solar power and 200 MW of energy storage. The company has had strong growth and has brought more than 800 MW to construction start since its inception in 2015. OX2 has identified good opportunities for value creation by developing the business toward selling turnkey solutions at construction start, scaling up the business through project acquisitions and, over time, broadening the offering to include onshore wind. OX2 expects the acquisition to be closed in the second quarter. The purchase price amounts to AUD 126 million on a debt free basis for 100 percent of the shares in ESCO Pacific. In addition, there is a contingent consideration amounting to up to AUD 17 million to the founder based on sales and margins in 2025-2027 from the acquired project development portfolio.

Net sales during the first quarter totaled SEK 1,463 million (1,621).
The year-on-year decline in net sales for the quarter was mainly attributable to lower net sales from the sale of projects, while net sales from the construction portfolio was in line with the previous year. Projects in Finland contributed 41 percent (27) of the net sales, followed by Sweden with 34 percent (66) and Poland 25 percent (7).
In the first quarter of 2023, three projects totaling 171 MW were completed and handed over to customers. In the same period last year, two projects totaling 153 MW were handed over to customers. No new projects were sold in the quarter. In the corresponding quarter the previous year, two onshore wind projects totaling 177 MW were sold.
Technical and commercial management contracts, MW

Net sales LTM, SEK m

During the first quarter, cost of goods sold totaled SEK -1,073 million (-1,325). Cost of goods sold is affected by the product mix in the period. There were no sales of projects in the quarter. Gross margin increased to 26.7 percent (18.2). The higher margin in the quarter is mainly attributable to a higher than normal construction margin driven by net sales from trial runs and contingency releases in connection with the completion and handover of three projects in Finland.
Project development costs amounted to SEK -74 million (-54) during the first quarter. Development costs in the first quarter increased by 37 percent compared with the same quarter the previous year, reflecting a larger project development portfolio, with the costs for offshore development activities and new geographical markets accounting for the largest increase. As a share of net sales, project development costs during the quarter amounted to 5.1 percent, compared to 3.3 percent for the corresponding period the previous year. In addition to project development costs, income from joint ventures amounted to SEK -15 million (0) for the quarter. The result is attributable to OX2's share of the offshore wind development costs of the companies that were partially divested to Ingka Investments in the fourth quarter of 2022.
Other costs in the quarter totaled SEK -52 million (-33). The increase is related to the expansion of the business, with higher costs for consultants and IT as well as for establishment in new markets.
Personnel costs in the first quarter amounted to SEK -140 million (-100), an increase of 40 percent compared with the same period the previous year. The change can be attributed to an increase in the workforce (108 employees) compared with the same period the previous year, which is in line with OX2's expansion plan.
Operating income for the first quarter of 2023 amounted to SEK 102 million (105). The earnings trend for individual quarters is mainly affected by new sales of wind and solar projects, and the rate at which projects under construction are completed and handed over to customers. Gross margin for the quarter was 26.7 percent (18.2). As mentioned above, the higher margin in the quarter is mainly attributable to a higher than normal construction margin.
Earnings from financial items was SEK 6 million (5) for the first quarter. The positive result was mainly due to interest income from the company's cash. OX2's currency exposure is primarily in EUR and the company uses currency derivatives to hedge these flows.
The effective tax rate was 18.4 percent (-1.0) for the quarter. The effective tax rate in the previous year was affected by non-taxable income from the sale of two projects.
A higher effective tax rate had a negative impact on earnings in the first quarter. Profit for the period totaled SEK 89 million (111).
Earnings per share before and after dilution totaled SEK 0.32 (0.41) for the quarter.
OX2 applies hedge accounting and changes in fair value relating to currency derivatives are recognized in equity.

Current assets amounted to SEK 6,919 million (6,295) at the end of the period, an increase of SEK 624 million compared with the end of December 2022.
The value of the project development portfolio and work in progress increased to SEK 1,650 million (1,388), which is mainly explained by increased investments in project rights. Accounts receivable decreased to SEK 158 million (655), mainly because most outstanding invoices were paid at the end of the quarter. Other receivables, which mainly consist of expenses incurred by OX2 on behalf of customers, totalled SEK 162 million (115). Prepaid expenses and accrued income amounted to SEK 461 million (549). Prepaid expenses and accrued income consisted mainly of items related to construction. Cash and cash equivalents amounted to SEK 4,468 million (3,575). The increase for the quarter is attributable to a large proportion of outstanding accounts receivables being paid during the quarter and large advance payments from customers.
Total current liabilities amounted to SEK 3,253 million (2,772), an increase of SEK 482 million over the previous year.
Advance payments from customers amounted to SEK 1,547 million (1,325), an increase of SEK 222 million during the year. The advance payments include 72 percent related to projects under construction in the Polish market, followed by 15 percent for Swedish projects and 13 percent for Finnish projects. Accounts payable amounted to SEK 77 million (159) and consist mainly of construction related invoices that varies between periods. Other liabilities amounted to SEK 451 million (358) and current interest-bearing liabilities to 239 (228), where the increase in other liabilities is mainly related to VAT. Tax liabilities amounted to SEK 19 million (28). Accrued expenses and deferred income amounted to SEK 920 million (673). Accrued expenses consisted mainly of accrued construction and project costs.
Cash flow from operating activities before changes in working capital for the quarter amounted to SEK 101 million (113) and cash flow from changes in working capital totaled SEK 1,006 million (-97). Changes in working capital have a large impact on cash flow in individual quarters. In the first quarter, cash flow from changes in working capital was positively impacted by increases in advances from customers and decreases in accounts receivable and accrued expenses. Investments in the project development portfolio totaled SEK -229 million (-199) for the quarter. During the quarter, cash flow from operating activities amounted to SEK 878 million (-182) due to the positive effect of working capital.
Cash flow from investing activities amounted to SEK -21 million (-0) for the quarter, which can be attributed to contributions to joint venture companies. Cash flow from financing activities during the quarter amounted to SEK 20 million (-1) attributable to contributions from minority owners in jointly owned development projects. The total cash flow for the first quarter of 2023 amounted to SEK 877 million (-184).
The employees of the parent company (OX2 AB) work with project development, financing, project sales and project implementation. Group management and group-wide functions are also based within the parent company. Total net sales for the quarter amounted to SEK 88 million (130). net sales in the parent company consists of sales of wind and solar farms, development services and internal invoicing of service and management fees. Income from the sale of wind and solar farms varies between quarters and is also affected by the transaction structure of the projects sold. As there were no project sales in the quarter, net sales consists of sales of intra-group services and development services.
Costs for goods and project development during the quarter totaled SEK -91 million (- 105) and are thus slightly lower than the same period the previous year. Other external costs for the quarter amounted to SEK -47 million (-30). The increase was due to the expansion of the business.
Net debt or (-) net cash, SEK m



Personnel costs for the quarter amounted to SEK -101 million (-75). The increased costs were mainly due to an increase in the number of employees compared with the same quarter the previous year and during the year and are in line with planned expansion.
Operating income for the quarter amounted to SEK -152 million (-81). Higher costs had a negative impact on operating income for the quarter. Earnings after financial items amounted to SEK -141 million (-83) during the quarter. The year-on-year increase in financial income was mainly related to the revaluation of cash and cash equivalents, as well as interest. Profit for the period was SEK -112 million (-66).
Current assets amounted to SEK 5,235 million (4,353) at the end of the quarter. The change was due to an increase in cash and cash equivalents, as well as group receivables.

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 OX2's growth potential.
For a detailed description of the risks, please refer to the directors' report in the company's 2022 Annual Report.
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.
The transition to a renewable energy supply is a long-term and important goal for our society. Despite the uncertainty related to the COVID-19 pandemic and the war in Ukraine, as well as rising interest rates, OX2 performed well over the past year, 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 has a positive view of the future and finds that energy companies and financial investors increasingly have a positive view of ownership in renewable power generation offering stable, attractive infrastructure investment in the long term.
OX2 sees strong demand for its projects in all technologies and has good visibility of the profitability and returns of the projects it sells. OX2 is currently investing to achieve its target of at least 25 percent average annual growth (CAGR) in operating profit in 2023-2027, and a sales volume in excess of 2,000 MW from 2025.
For 2023, the majority of new project sales are expected to occur in the second half of the year. OX2 will continue to increase project development costs and personnel costs, while sales volumes are expected to increase gradually, which will initially negatively impact the operating margin. Development and personnel costs in 2023 are expected to be more than twice as high as in 2021 because of the growth of the project development portfolio.
Investments in project acquisitions are expected to exceed SEK 800 million annually in 2023 and beyond. Depending on the timing of the completion of acquisitions, this may vary between individual calendar years. The acquisition of ESCO Pacific is expected to be finalized in the second quarter. The purchase price amounts to AUD 126 million (SEK 872 million) and will be paid in cash.
For individual quarters, the gross margin is affected by the mix of net sales from the sale of new wind and solar farms and net sales from projects under construction, where the gross margin from new project sales is usually higher.
Cash flow is affected in individual quarters by large working capital fluctuations related to projects under construction. During the first quarter, cash flow was positively affected by SEK 1,006 million from changes in working capital. At the end of the first quarter, construction-related working capital was lower than normal. Historically, the ratio of construction-related working
capital to net sales LTM has been in the range of 0 to -20 percent. Construction-related working capital is expected to normalize over the next few quarters.
Acquisition of a solar power project in Huittinen, Finland, with a planned capacity of 475 MW, which will be included in the project development portfolio from Q2 2023.
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, net sales and expenses.
The actual outcome may differ from these estimates and judgements.
The company sees significant opportunities to reinvest cash flow from operations in value-creating growth.
The Board of Directors proposes that no dividend be paid.
This report has not been subject to review by the Group´s auditors.
OX2's 2022 annual and sustainability report is available on the OX2 website, ox2.com. OX2 AB's Annual General Meeting will be held on May 16 at 10:00 a.m. at Brygghuset, Nortullsgatan 12N, in Stockholm.

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 reports and their accompanying notes further information according to IAS 34 can be found in other sections of the quarterly 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. Net sales 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 Group has one segment.
The Group's net sales mainly comprises sales of wind and solar projects and commissioned wind farms. The Group normally recognizes net sales over time and, in certain cases, at a specific time.
For a description of segment reporting, see the 2022 Annual Report, Note 2, "Accounting policies."

| Note 3 Fair value measurement 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 segment reporting, see the 2022 Annual Report, Note 2, "Accounting principles" and Note 4. For items measured at amortized cost, this is deemed to be consistent with fair value. |

On 28 October 2016, 28 December 2016 and 15 December 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 during 2023 and on or around December 27 and 2025, April 27, 2027. During 2022, two members of the Board of Directors joined an option plan issued by Peas Industries Invest AB. The plan runs for three years and is designed so that the investment has been made at market value and the plan does not result in any expense under IFRS 2.
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 receive 0.5 shares and an additional 1-3 shares free of charge (up to 6 for a future key individual) at the end of a three-year vesting period, depending on the group to which the participant belongs, as well as certain other restrictions and possible conversions in accordance with the full terms of the warrants. A total of 30 people are participating in the plan as of March 31, 2023. 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 Group has no pledged assets. Contingent liabilities amounted to SEK 4,3 billion (4) at March 31, 2023 compared with the beginning of the year. Changes in the value of contingent liabilities are related to guarantees that are issued regularly to support the Group's obligations.
The parent company has a related party relationship with its Group companies. As of March 31, 2023, the parent company's contingent liabilities amounted to SEK 4.2 billion (3,6) compared with 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 22–26 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
