Halmstad, 19 July 2016

Daniel Johansson CEO

"It is highly gratifying that after the end of the second quarter we signed a conditional agreement to sell our operational Bohult wind farm to Allianz Global Investors"

CEO's statement

It was enjoyable to meet all our committed shareholders at the Annual General Meeting in Halmstad at the beginning of May! We also arranged a relatively well-attended Capital Markets Day at the end of May where we presented our view of the market conditions and our strategy going forward. We are clearly focusing on expanding our project portfolio to further strengthen our development operations and to secure new wind-farm management assignments on behalf of customers.

We are also continuing our work on bringing the Kölvallen project to market around year-end. A key milestone is to secure a legal force permit from the Land and Environmental Court of Appeal.

On 10 June, five parliamentary parties presented a Swedish energy policy agreement, which included phasing out tax on nuclear power plants over two years and gradually reducing property tax for hydropower plants over four years. The agreement also confirmed that no subsidies would be granted to new nuclear power and the liability to pay damages in the event of accidents would be increased. Furthermore, the agreement is expected to lead to an increase in reserves to the Nuclear Waste Fund, which is to be used to pay for the disposal of spent nuclear fuel, for example.

The agreement set a target of 100% renewable electricity production by 2040. The electricity-certificate system is to be extended by ten years and an additional 18 TWh of renewable output is to be built between 2020 and 2030. It is positive that a decision has been announced on the main features of Sweden's energy policy, although much work remains to be done to clarify the proposals and direction.

It is highly gratifying that after the end of the second quarter we signed a conditional agreement to sell our operational Bohult wind farm to Allianz Global Investors. The purchase consideration totals MEUR 19.1 and essentially only a technical final inspection remains to be completed before the deal can be finalised in the autumn. We reported an impairment loss for Bohult in the second quarter, which was due to technology-related factors noted in connection with inspections of the farm. Overall, we believe that this transaction is positive for Arise. We are opportunistic as regards own wind power operations and are continuing to prioritise cash flow and reducing debt.

The second quarter had weaker wind conditions than normal. The second and third quarters are seasonally weak. A clear positive note was that electricity spot prices have risen significantly, even though prices remain unsatisfactory, due to such factors as the generally lower levels of water reservoirs. Longer forward contracts also continued to rise. Electricity certificate prices continued to fall despite the upward adjustment of the quota curve for electricity certificates since the start of the year and the continued decline of the surplus of electricity certificates. We interpret this trend as perceived uncertainty in the market weighing more heavily than fundamental factors.

Comments on the second quarter

Earnings for the quarter were impacted by weaker wind conditions than normal and sustained low electricity and certificate prices, although electricity prices did start to recover slightly. At the same time, project sales and management increased total income compared with the yearearlier period. Total production, including the company's share in the Jädraås project, fell to 116 GWh (178). The average price for the company's own production declined SEK 82 to SEK 386 per MWh (469), partly due to the discontinuation of wind-farm leases. Net sales rose MSEK 30 due to higher development and management income, and the gross recognition of development income. Other operating income declined because of the discontinuation of crane rentals.

Operating expenses totalled MSEK 76 (28), of which MSEK 53 (0) was attributable to sales and contracts and MSEK 24 comprised comparable operating expenses. Own capitalised work amounted to MSEK 3 (2). Profit/loss from associates was MSEK 0 (-2).

Despite increased profits in development and management, EBITDA fell MSEK 28 due to lower production and average prices. EBIT declined MSEK 34, which was also due to the impairment loss of MSEK 12 (1) recognised for the Bohult wind farm. Net financial items improved, due to among other currency effects. The loss before tax was MSEK -34 (-7) and loss after tax was MSEK -27 (-7).

Comments on the first half of the year

Weaker wind conditions than normal resulted in a decline in total production, including Jädraås to 281 GWh (406). The average price for the company's own production fell SEK 77 to SEK 441 per MWh (518). Net sales rose MSEK 88 due to higher development and management income, and the gross recognition of development income. Operating expenses totalled MSEK 174 (53) of which MSEK 48 was attributable to comparable operating expenses. Own capitalised work amounted to MSEK 4 (5). Profit from associates was MSEK 0 (11). Despite increased profit in development and management, lower production and average prices resulted in EBITDA declining by MSEK 59. EBIT fell MSEK 61, which was also due to the impairment loss of MSEK 12 (1) recognised for the Bohult wind farm. Net financial items improved, due to among other currency effects and the profit/loss before tax declined to MSEK -42 (10) and profit/loss after tax to MSEK -30 (7).

Operating cash flow, MSEK

Cash flows and investments

Comments on the second quarter

Cash flow from operating activities before changes in working capital was MSEK 16 (37). Changes in working capital amounted to MSEK -23 (-4), driven by such factors as ongoing external projects that have not yet been settled. The total operating cash flow was thereby MSEK -7 (33). Due to the acquisition of the Kölvallen project, cash flow from investing activities amounted to MSEK -17 (-12). Cash flow after investing activities thus amounted to MSEK -24 (21). No bank overdraft facilities were utilised and repayments were made on project loans and annual repayments were made on bond loans during the quarter. Accordingly, the net of non-current and current interest-bearing liabilities reduced cash flow by MSEK 63 (60), interest of MSEK 19 (21) was paid and interest of MSEK 0 (1) was received. Net payments to and from blocked accounts totalled MSEK 2 (0), and warrants were issued after which cash flow for the quarter amounted to MSEK -104 (-59).

Comments on the first half of the year

Cash flow from operating activities before changes in working capital was MSEK 56 (92). Changes in working capital amounted to a MSEK 19 (-4), driven by such factors as settlement of projects in the first quarter and the accumulation of working capital in ongoing external projects. The total operating cash flow was thus MSEK 75 (88). Projects were both acquired and divested during the period, after which cash flow from investing activities amounted to MSEK 7 (-16). Accordingly, cash flow after investing activities amounted to MSEK 82 (72). A bank overdraft facility was repaid and repayments were made on project loans and annual repayments were made on bond loans during the period. Accordingly, the net of non-current and current interest-bearing liabilities reduced cash flow by MSEK 104 (78), interest of MSEK 38 (48) was paid and interest of MSEK 1 (5) was received. Net payments to and from blocked accounts totalled MSEK -2 (0), and warrants were issued after which cash flow for the period amounted to MSEK -60 (-48).

Financing and liquidity

Net interest-bearing debt amounted to MSEK 1,212 (1,392). Cash and cash equivalents were MSEK 143 (110) and unutilised bank overdraft facilities amounted to MSEK 50 (0). In addition, Arise has a MSEK 50 holding in its senior unsecured bonds. The equity/assets ratio at the end of the period was 40 (42) per cent.

Comments on the second quarter

Production from the company's wholly-owned farms declined to 68 GWh (106), down 36%, or about 38 GWh, due to the unusually poor wind conditions in the period and the stronger winds than normal in the yearearlier period. A smaller part of this decline was also the result of the divestment of the Skogaby wind farm in September 2015.

Average income for electricity amounted to SEK 245 per MWh (307) and for electricity certificates to SEK 142 per MWh (162), corresponding to 1% below and 4% above, respectively, the market price of electricity (SE4) and certificates (SKM) during the period.

Net sales declined by MSEK 18 due to lower production and by MSEK 6 as a result of lower average prices compared with the year-earlier period. In total, net sales fell MSEK 23 and EBITDA MSEK 21 year-on-year. The specific operating expense rose to SEK 140 per MWh (108) due to lower production. An impairment requirement was identified following certain technical inspections at the Bohult wind farm, and an impairment loss of MSEK 12 (0) was recognised due to technology-related factors. EBIT after depreciation/amortisation and impairment amounted to a profit/loss of MSEK -16 (14). Net financial items improved due to among other currency effects. Loss before tax declined by MSEK 23 to MSEK -28 (-5).

Comments on the first half of the year

Production in the company's wholly-owned farms fell to 156 GWh (228) as a result of abnormally weaker wind conditions and better winds than normal in the year-earlier period. Average income for electricity amounted to SEK 306 per MWh (361) and for electricity certificates to SEK 136 per MWh (158), corresponding to 29% above and 5% under, respectively, the market price of electricity (SE4) and certificates (SKM) during the period. Net sales declined by MSEK 37 due to lower production and by MSEK 12 as a result of lower average prices compared with the year-earlier period. In total, net sales fell MSEK 49 and EBITDA MSEK 47 year-on-year. The specific operating expense increased to SEK 134 per MWh (101) due to lower production. EBIT after depreciation/amortisation and impairment amounted to MSEK -7 (47). Profit/loss before tax declined to MSEK -38 (7) including an improvement of net financial items due to among other currency effects.

Comments on the second quarter

The figures in the segment refer to Arise's 50 per cent stake or 101.5 MW, in the Jädraås project. Electricity production in the second quarter totalled 48 GWh (72), which was lower than normal due to weaker wind conditions in the period and stronger winds than normal in the yearearlier period. Average income was SEK 563 per MWh (485), of which SEK 365 per MWh (308) refers to electricity and SEK 198 per MWh (177) refers to electricity certificates.

The lower production reduced net sales by MSEK 11, while the higher average price increased net sales by MSEK 3 compared with 2015. Overall, the segment's net sales and EBITDA dropped by MSEK 8 and MSEK 4 respectively. Due to lower service costs the specific operating expense decreased to SEK 149 per MWh (154). Depreciation, amortisation and net financials were largely unchanged, which meant that operating profit and profit/loss before tax decreased by MSEK 4.

Under the chosen form of financing, cash flows from the project accrue to the shareholders through repayment of shareholder loans before any dividends are paid from the project. However, given the current market conditions, the Company intends to continue using its cash flow for the repayment of external loans in the project.

Comments on the first half of the year

Electricity production in the period totalled 124 GWh (177), which was lower than normal due to weaker wind conditions in the period and stronger winds than normal in the year-earlier period. Average income was SEK 515 per MWh (497), of which SEK 359 per MWh (325) refers to electricity and SEK 156 per MWh (171) refers to electricity certificates. The lower production reduced net sales by MSEK 26, while the higher average price increased net sales by MSEK 2 compared with 2015. Overall, the segment's net sales and EBITDA dropped by MSEK 24 and MSEK 18 respectively. The specific operating expense was largely unchanged at SEK 127 per MWh (125) despite lower production due to lower service costs. Depreciation, amortisation and net financials were largely unchanged, which meant that operating profit and profit/loss before tax decreased by MSEK 18 and MSEK 17 respectively.

Comments on the second quarter

The construction of Mombyåsen and Ryssbol progressed according to or better than plan, and the construction commenced on the Solberg project that was divested to Fortum in the first quarter. In addition, the Kölvallen project was acquired and work on bringing the project to market is being conducted pending a legal force permit. Discussions are being held regarding acquisitions of several development projects. Tenders have also been submitted for additional management agreements. Income increased MSEK 41 to MSEK 66 (24) year-on-year despite development and management income falling compared with the preceding quarter when major settlements were made. However, the higher level of activity contributed to a MSEK 53 increase in the cost of sold projects and construction contracts. Other operating expenses and capitalised work were slightly lower compared with the preceding year. As a result, EBITDA fell a total of MSEK 6 to MSEK 2 (8). Depreciation/amortisation and impairment amounted to MSEK 0 (-3) and net financial items weakened slightly. Combined, this meant that EBIT declined MSEK 4 and profit/loss before tax fell MSEK 4.

Comments on the first half of the year

The Brotorp project was settled during the period, and the Solberg project was divested to Fortum and construction started. At the same time, other ongoing construction projects progressed according to or better than plan. The Kölvallen project was acquired. The company worked actively on expanding the project portfolio and the asset management operations. Income increased MSEK 122 to MSEK 162 (40) compared with the yearearlier period. However, the higher level of activity contributed to a MSEK 126 increase in the cost of sold projects and construction contracts. Other operating expenses and capitalised work fell MSEK 8 year-on-year. As a result, EBITDA increased a total of MSEK 3 to MSEK 12 (9). Depreciation/amortisation and impairment amounted to MSEK 1 (5) and net financial items improved slightly. Combined, this meant that EBIT increased MSEK 8 and profit/loss before tax rose MSEK 8.

Project portfolio

Arise has an extensive project portfolio in Sweden with a total output of about 600 MW and is currently evaluating a number of projects in Norway. Fully constructed this would correspond to an investment level of SEK 6-9 billion. In Scotland, preliminary project planning work is underway on projects with a combined output of about 150 MW.

Other significant events

There are no other significant events to report.

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 81 under Note 21 in the 2015 Annual Report.

Significant events after the end of the period

A conditional agreement for the sale of the Bohult wind farm, 12.8 MW, was signed with Allianz Global Investors. The purchase consideration amounts to MEUR 19.1 on a debt and cash-free basis. Provided that the sale is completed, the effect on cash flow after repayment of loans and swaps is expected to amount to slightly more than MSEK 90, incl. the release of blocked funds. The transaction is expected to have a marginal impact on earnings for 2016. An additional purchase consideration may be received depending on future production levels. Arise will also perform asset management services at the farm under a five-year management agreement. The sale is expected to be completed not later than the fourth quarter of 2016.

Outlook

Low power and electricity certificate prices are challenging in terms of profitability of own and co-owned wind farms. Lately there has been a certain increase in power prices and based on fundamental factors we are carefully optimistic as concerns the future price development. We follow market developments carefully and act in the market when we believe we can create value. As concerns ownership of wind farms we are opportunistic and continuously evaluate our options. We see good opportunities to strengthen our market position within development and asset management, primarily on the Swedish market.

Risks and uncertainties

Risks and uncertainties affecting the Group are described on pages 46- 47 of the company's 2015 Annual Report and financial risk management is presented on pages 71-77. No significant changes have taken place that affect the reported risks.

Ownership structure

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

Parent Company

The Parent Company's operations comprise developing projects (project planning to identify suitable wind locations, signing leasehold agreements, producing impact assessments, preparing detailed development plans and permits), divesting projects to external investors, building new projects, managing projects internally and externally (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.

The electricity-generating subsidiaries sell their output at spot prices to Arise, which sells it on to the spot market. These intra-Group trading activities are recognised on a gross basis in the income statement.

The Parent Company's total income amounted to MSEK 225 (202) for the first half of the year, and purchases of electricity and certificates, the lease of wind power facilities, personnel and other external expenses, work performed by the company for its own use and capitalised and depreciation/amortisation of non-current assets totalled MSEK 239 (207), resulting in EBIT of MSEK -14 (-5). A net financial expense of MSEK -42 (-34) and Group contributions of MSEK 121 (67) led to net profit after tax of MSEK 47 (22). The Parent Company's net investments amounted to MSEK -20 (8).

Note 11 - 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 71-77 of the 2015 Annual Report. The table below presented the Group's financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value at the balance-sheet date.
