Daniel Johansson CEO

CEO's statement

We successfully refinanced our wholly-owned wind farms during the first quarter of the year. We thus reduced our gross indebtedness and can fully focus on growth in our development and management business as well as value-enhancing measures related to our assets. This refinancing was realised through a bond issue, loans from banks and financing from our own funds. This is evidence of our strength and we are very pleased to have secured this refinancing. The refinancing is for three years and provides scope for us to work proactively with our assets to create optimal shareholder value over time. We maintain our opportunistic approach to our assets and thus our long-term ownership of these. In this context, the refinancing provides scope for action, which has high value in itself.

The weather was colder than usual during the quarter, which led to higher electricity prices. At the same time, wind power production from our farms was lower than normal. A side effect of these factors is that the amount of water in the hydro reservoirs has declined, which had a positive effect on the forward electricity prices for the next few quarters.

The prices of electricity certificates made a significant recovery in the first months of the year, in line with our hopes and expectations. The primary reason is that the structural surplus is now being used as a result of the high demand for certificates, which has its basis in the higher quota curve. We continue to have a positive view of the certificate market for the near term. At the same time, it is very important that a volume-based and credible stopping mechanism for the system is put into place as soon as possible so that we can avoid a loss of confidence in the future.

As electricity and electricity certificate prices have risen and in conjunction with our refinancing we have gradually increased the hedge levels for own wind farms. From low hedge levels we will now achieve levels of approx. 50-60% for the coming years.

The Solberg wind power project (about 75 MW) that has been divested to Fortum was completed in line with schedule and budget under Arise's construction management. Except for refinancing costs, the quarter did not present any major surprises in terms of our earnings. We are continuing to focus on selling our two projects Bröcklingberget (about 45 MW) and Enviksberget (about 35 MW) during the year. We are working hard on the rest of our project portfolio and are constantly engaged in dialogue concerning the potential acquisition of additional projects.

Comments on the first quarter

The quarter was characterised by weaker than normal winds. Consequently, total production, including the company's share in the Jädraås project, fell to 132 GWh (185). Production from our own farms fell by 16 GWh to 76 GWh (93). Electricity prices were relatively high, driven by the cold weather, the price of raw materials and a positive price trend in emissions rights. The spot price and related forward prices for certificates rose as a result of a continued reduction in the surplus. However, prices remained low further out on the price curve. The average price for the company's own production increased SEK 183 to SEK 522 per MWh (339). The combination of a higher average price and lower production increased net sales from the company's own production by MSEK 8 to MSEK 40 (31). Development and management income increased MSEK 2 to MSEK 15 (13) due to higher management income. Overall, net sales rose MSEK 11 to MSEK 55 (44).

Operating expenses amounted to MSEK 26 (25), of which cost of sold projects and contracts accounted for MSEK 1 (2) and other operating expenses for MSEK 25 (23). Own capitalised work amounted to MSEK 1 (1). Consolidated profit/loss from associates was MSEK 0 (0).

In total, EBITDA rose MSEK 9 to MSEK 30 (21). EBIT increased MSEK 10 to MSEK 12 (2). Net financial items declined to MSEK -28 (-21) during the quarter due to early redemption of the company's secured bonds. Profit/loss before tax amounted to MSEK -16 (-20). Profit/loss after tax was MSEK -13 (-20), representing earnings per share of SEK -0.39 (-0.58) before and after dilution.

Cash flow and investments

Comments on the first quarter

Cash flow from operating activities before changes in working capital was MSEK 28 (23). Changes in working capital were MSEK -4 (24), with financial settlement of Mombyåsen taking place in the year-earlier quarter. Total operating cash flow thus amounted to MSEK 24 (47). Cash flow from investing activities was MSEK -6 (-13). During the quarter, the company's secured bond was refinanced through a combination of a new bond loan of MSEK 650, two bank loans of MSEK 175 in total and utilisation of existing cash and cash equivalents. The net of current and non-current interest-bearing liabilities therefore reduced cash flow by MSEK -75 (244). Interest and financing costs of MSEK -27 (-17) was paid, and interest of MSEK 0 (1) was received. Net payments to or from blocked accounts amounted to MSEK 0 (3), after which cash flow for the period amounted to MSEK -83 (264).

Financing and liquidity

At the end of the period, net debt amounted to MSEK 970 (964). Cash and cash equivalents amounted to MSEK 63 (551). The equity/assets ratio at the end of the period was 41% (38). Under the assumption that all of the company's convertible bonds would be converted and existing cash settled against interest-bearing liabilities, the equity/assets ratio would correspond to 54%.

Comments on the first quarter

Development and management income increased during the quarter due to more management assignments. Solberg was completed in line with budget and schedule and settlement took place after the end of the quarter. The construction of Svartnäs proceeded as planned. Cost of sold projects and contracts declined to MSEK -1 (-2) and other operating expenses and capitalised work were unchanged year-on-year, resulting in an increase in EBITDA of MSEK 4 to MSEK 9 (5). Depreciation, amortisation and impairment amounted to MSEK 0 (0) and EBIT thus increased to MSEK 9 (5). Net financial items improved to MSEK -4 (-5) and profit/loss before tax thus rose to MSEK 5 (0).

The company is continuing to develop and expand it project portfolio as well as grow the management business.

Project portfolio

At the end of the period, the company had an extensive project portfolio of slightly more than 800 MW in Sweden, with a carrying amount of about MSEK 80. Fully developed, the portfolio would equate to an investment level of almost SEK 10 billion. The pre-planning of a 150 MW project is also underway in Scotland.

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.

1) The AWHCO 9 AB Group, which owns all of Arise's wind farms, generated EBITDA of MSEK 27 compared with MSEK 26 in the Own wind power operations segment. The difference comprises the allocation of costs.

Comments on the first quarter

Production at the company's wholly-owned farms fell to 76 GWh (93) compared with the year-earlier quarter. This decrease was due to weaker than normal wind conditions in the quarter compared with normal winds in the year-earlier period.

The company's average income for electricity was SEK 356 per MWh (278), which was 10% less than the market price (SE4) for the same period (SEK 395 per MWh), with the deviation mainly due to a higher spot price in relation to price hedges. The average income for certificates increased to SEK 166 per MWh (61), 92% above the market price (SKM) for the same period (SEK 86 per MWh) due to price hedges and positive changes in inventory values.

Net sales decreased MSEK 6 due to lower production, while the higher average price led to an increase of MSEK 14 in net sales, compared with the year-earlier quarter. Overall, net sales therefore rose MSEK 8 and EBITDA MSEK 6, compared with the corresponding quarter in 2017. The specific operating expense increased to SEK 180 per MWh (137) due to lower than normal production. Depreciation fell to MSEK -18 (-20), which meant that EBIT was MSEK 8 (0). Net financial items for the quarter were negatively impacted by refinancing costs and amounted to MSEK -24 (-17). Profit/loss before tax was thus unchanged at MSEK -16 (-16).

Comments on the first quarter

The figures presented in the segment reporting refer to Arise's 50% stake, or 101.5 MW, in the Jädraås project. For the consolidated results, refer to Note 3. In the first quarter, electricity production totalled 56 GWh (92) which was significantly below the normal level for the season. Average income was SEK 624 per MWh (503), of which SEK 442 per MWh (367) pertained to electricity and SEK 182 per MWh (135) to electricity certificates.

Net sales decreased MSEK 18 due to lower production, while the higher average price led to an increase of MSEK 7 in net sales, compared with the year-earlier quarter. Overall, both the segment's net sales and EBITDA fell MSEK 11. The specific operating expense increased to SEK 162 per MWh (100) due to lower production. Depreciation increased while net financial items were largely unchanged, which meant that both EBIT and profit/loss before tax declined by MSEK 12.

The chosen form of financing means that the project's cash flow will be paid to shareholders through the repayment of shareholder loans before any dividends are payable from the project. Due to current market conditions, cash flows are used for the repayment of external loans in the project.

Other significant events

During the quarter, Arise successfully refinanced and completed the early redemption of its secured bonds of approximately MSEK 950. After the refinancing, the company can fully focus on increasing growth in its project development and management business as well as valueenhancing measures related to the company's assets. This refinancing reduces the company's gross debt, improves important credit performance indicators and extends the terms of the company's credit facilities.

Related-party transactions

No transactions with related parties took place during the period.

Contingent liabilities

There were no changes to the Group's contingent liabilities. These contingent liabilities are described in more detail on page 72 under Note 21 in the 2017 Annual Report.

Significant events after the end of the period

No significant events occurred after the end of the period.

Outlook

Due to the low prices for electricity and electricity certificates, maintaining the profitability of the company's own and co-owned wind farms is challenging. Based on fundamental factors, we remain optimistic about the price trend of electricity. Regarding electricity certificate prices, the assessment is that there is potential for prices to reach significantly higher levels than in 2017, but uncertainty remains regarding the outlook for the next few years related to such factors as the need for the introduction of a stopping mechanism in the system. We are following the market trend carefully and will act when we believe we can create value. In regard to the ownership of our windpower assets, we are maintaining an opportunistic approach and continually evaluating different courses of action. We see good opportunities for strengthening our market position in wind farm development and management, primarily in the Swedish market.

Risks and uncertainties

Risks and uncertainties affecting the Group are described on pages 38- 39 of the 2017 Annual Report, and financial risk management is presented on pages 64-69. 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 (project planning to identify suitable wind locations, signing leasehold agreements, producing impact assessments, preparing detailed development plans and permits), divesting projects to external investors, contracts and project management of new projects, managing both 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.

Until February 2018, the electricity-generating subsidiaries sold their production to Arise at spot prices, which Arise then sold to the market at spot price. These intra-Group trading activities were recognised on a gross basis in the income statement. From March 2018, the electricitygenerating subsidiaries sell their production directly to counterparties in the market at spot price.

During the quarter, the Parent Company's total income amounted to MSEK 46 (57) and purchases of electricity and certificates, the lease of wind power facilities, personnel and other external expenses, capitalised work on own account and depreciation of non-current assets totalled MSEK -51 (-66), resulting in EBIT of MSEK -6 (-9). Net financial items of MSEK 0 (-19) resulted in profit/loss after tax of MSEK -6 (-29). The Parent Company's net investments amounted to MSEK -3 (-9).

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 addition of having implemented IFRS 9 and IFRS 15 since 1 January 2018, the accounting policies are consistent with those applied in the 2017 Annual Report. The transition to IFRS 9 and IFRS 15 is not deemed to have any material, quantitative effect on the company's accounts other than additional disclosure requirements. The company applies a prospective transition period that entails that comparative figures are not restated.

Net sales include i) Income from electricity (the sale of generated electricity, and gains and losses from electricity and currency derivatives attributable to the hedged electricity production), ii) earned and sold electricity certificates, and iii) development income from projects sold and management income. The classification is based on an assessment of the nature of the income, the amount, timing and uncertainty surrounding income and cash flows. Income from electricity and income from electricity certificates are generated by the wind farms owned by the Group, which are recognised under Own wind power operations segment. Development and management income is primarily generated through the company's project portfolio and is recognised under the Development and management segment. In addition, Arise has an associate that is not consolidated in accounting terms and thus does not generate any net sales. This associate is Sirocco Wind Holding AB, which owns the Jädraås project. The associate can be seen in the Co-owned wind power operations segment as if Arise's participation in this operation was consolidated.

Note 6 - Fair value of financial instruments

Fair value hierarchy

All financial instruments that are measured at fair value belong to Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Derivatives comprise electricity futures, currency futures and interest-rate swaps. Measuring the fair value of currency futures is based on published forward rates in an active market. The measurement of interest-rate swaps is based on forward interest rates derived from observable yield curves. The discounting does not have any material impact on the valuation of derivatives in Level 2. The recognition of financial instruments is described on pages 64-69 of the 2017 Annual Report. The table below presents the Group's financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value at the balance-sheet date.
