About Arise

Comments from the CEO

The quarter

Profit for the quarter (MSEK 17 before tax) was in line with expectations. Availability in own and co-owned wind farms was good, as was wind potential.

Construction of the Brotorp wind farm (46 MW), which has been sold to BlackRock, is proceeding according to plan, as is the management of externally owned wind farms. Business negotiations regarding the divestment of already commissioned assets (20MW) and construction-ready assets (50MW) is in progress, in line with the Company's communicated strategy.

Electricity production during the quarter was 228 GWh (197), which is as budgeted. Production in our wind farms on the west coast was somewhat below normal, which was compensated for by higher than usual production in the wind farms on the east coast.

Average income was SEK 562 per MWh, which is about 33% over the market price for Sweden, price zone 4, during the same period.

The certificate market

The proposed quota adjustment and the increased Swedish ambition regarding the expansion of renewable energy tallies with what has been previously communicated by the authorities. The adjustment implies that the current surplus in the certificate system, which is the real reason for the current low prices, will be greatly reduced, which is likely to result in increased certificate prices. An approval of the proposal by the Swedish and Norwegian governments on June

10 would be positive for the wind power industry, and would be likely to result in the expansion picking up speed again, first in Sweden and then, in the long run, also in Norway.

Future prospects

The Company continues to follow the communicated strategy and continues to work on the sale of construction-ready wind farms, as well as a limited number of already commissioned wind farms (20MW). Interest in investing in Swedish wind power is considerable, both from potential Swedish customers and international investors.

Concurrently, project development continues to proceed in Sweden and Scotland with regard to new farms. The Company holds a project portfolio comprising approximately 1,000 construction-ready MW with low specific investment costs and beneficial wind conditions. We also continuously explore the possibility for acquisitions of healthy, mature wind power projects in Norway, Sweden and the UK.

Halmstad, 5 May 2015 Peter Nygren CEO Arise AB (publ)

Comments on the first quarter

Total electricity production amounted to 227.6 GWh, which is a 16% increase compared to the previous year (196.6 GWh). The development of production per quarter is illustrated in the graph below.

Total production includes both Own (including leased farms) and Coowned production

The Own and Co-owned wind power operations segments are reported exclusive of internal interest expenses on shareholder loans. The corresponding interest income has reduced net financial income in the Wind power development segment. The shareholder loans incur interest of approximately 6% and all relevant figures are reported in Note 5.

Own wind power operations

Production from the Company's wholly-owned farms amounted to 122.0 (125.7) GWh, a marginal decrease of 3%, or approximately 4 GWh, compared to the corresponding quarter in the previous year.

The Company's average income for electricity amounted to SEK 408 (417) per MWh, 48% over the market price (SE4, price zone 4 Nord Pool Spot) for the same period (SEK 276 per MWh). Price hedging further contributed to the Company's average income for certificates amounting to SEK 154 (236) per MWh, or 2% above the market price (SKM) for the same period (SEK 151 per MWh).

The approximate 3% decrease in production has decreased net sales by MSEK 3, while the lower average price has reduced net sales by MSEK 16 compared with the equivalent quarter in 2014. Overall, net sales amounted to MSEK 69 (87) and EBITDA amounted to MSEK 57 (75), implying a decrease of 21% in net sales, and a decrease of 24% in EBITDA, compared with the first quarter of 2014. Operating expenses for the segment were approximately the same as the previous year, and amounted to SEK 95 (93) per MWh. Depreciation amounted to MSEK -24 (-22), with the difference being explained by the greater number of turbines in operation in 2015. Net financial income amounted to a total of MSEK -19 (-16), of which a non-cash item attributable to the termination of swaps in 2014 amounted to MSEK -4. Profit/loss before tax for the quarter was, consequently, MSEK 14, compared with MSEK 37 last year.

Co-owned wind power operations

All figures in the segment reporting refer to Arise's 50% share, or the equivalent of 101.5 MW, in the Jädraås project. Electricity production during the first quarter amounted to 105.6 (70.9) GWh, which was higher than normal thanks to better winds in this part of the country compared with the previous year, when winds were significantly weaker than usual.

The approximately 49% higher production has increased net sales by MSEK 19, while the lower average price has decreased net sales by MSEK 3, compared with the corresponding quarter in 2014. Net sales for the segment amounted to MSEK 53 (38) and EBITDA totalled MSEK 42 (30). Due to the higher level of production, operating expenses for the segment were lower than the previous year and amounted to SEK 105 (121) per MWh. Depreciation and net financial income amounted to MSEK -16 (- 15) and MSEK -12 (-11), respectively, and profit/loss before tax for the period consequently amounted to MSEK 14 (3). Average income was SEK 505 (537) per MWh, with SEK 337 (345) per MWh from electricity and SEK 168 (193) per MWh from electricity certificates. The improvement in income is essentially due to the increased production, compared with the corresponding quarter of 2014.

The chosen form of financing implies that the project's cash flow will accrue to the owners through, primarily, repayments of shareholder loans before any dividends are paid out from the project. During the first quarter approximately MSEK 3.5 in payment was received.

Wind power development

All in all, total income and EBITDA for the quarter for Wind power development amounted to MSEK 15 (5) and MSEK 1 (-9), respectively. The increase is largely due to development fees of MSEK 7, relating to the Brotorp project, and MSEK 3, relating to management of wind farms on behalf of others. Operating expenses were on level with the previous year, MSEK -16, while depreciation and impairment decreased somewhat to MSEK -2 (-3). Net financial income amounted to MSEK -8 (-7) and profit/loss before tax totalled MSEK -9 (-19).

Net sales and profit/loss

Net sales for the quarter amounted to MSEK 76 (87). Other operating income amounted to MSEK 6 (3) and total income amounted to MSEK 81 (90).

During the quarter, a total of MSEK 2 (3) of capitalised work on own account was reported. Share of associated companies' profit amounted to MSEK 12 (4) and refers to the Company's 50% share of ownership in the Sirocco Group, as well as to financial income on shareholder loans to associated companies (see Note 2).

Operating profit before depreciation (EBITDA) amounted to MSEK 70 (70). Lower prices in 2015 have been compensated for by an increase in production. Operating profit (EBIT) amounted to MSEK 44 (45) including depreciation and impairment of MSEK -26 (-25). Net financial income was MSEK -27 (-23), of which a non-cash item attributable to the termination of swaps in 2014 amounted to MSEK -4. Profit/loss before tax amounted to MSEK 17 (22). Profit/loss after tax was MSEK 15 (16), equivalent to earnings per share of SEK 0.44 (0.49) before and after dilution.

Investments

Investments in property, plant and equipment for the quarter amounted to MSEK 4 (66). The entire amount refers to the expansion of wind power.

Cash flow

Cash flow from operating activities before changes in working capital amounted to MSEK 55 (70). Changes in working capital amounted to MSEK 0 (15), which resulted in a cash flow from operating activities of MSEK 55 (86). Investments in property, plant and equipment totalled MSEK -4 (-66), implying a cash flow after investing activities of MSEK 51 (13). Net non-current and current interest-bearing liabilities have decreased cash flow by MSEK -18 (49), and interest payments amounting to MSEK -26 (-31) have been made, while interest received totals MSEK 4 (10), mainly in the form of interest payments on shareholder loans from associated companies. Net payments to or from blocked accounts have been made in the amount of MSEK 0 (-1), after which cash flow for the quarter totalled MSEK 12 (40).

Financing and liquidity

Net interest-bearing liabilities amounted to MSEK 1,419 (1,446). The equity/assets ratio at the end of period was 40.2 (38.3) percent. Cash and cash equivalents amounted to MSEK 169 (231).

Taxes

As Arise has only Swedish subsidiaries, tax has been calculated on the basis of the Swedish tax rate of 22.0 percent.

Considering the Group's fiscal write-off possibilities, it is deemed that there will be no tax payments to report in the near future.

Transactions with related parties

No transactions were undertaken with related parties during the period.

Contingent liabilities

No changes have taken place in the Group's reported contingent liabilities, which are described in more detail on page 83, under Note 21 of the Annual Report for 2014.

Other events

Arise has signed a 5-year management agreement with Storrun Vindkraft AB, regarding a total of 30 MW. Consequently, Arise has approximately 450 MW in operation and under management, of which approximately 260 MW comprises Arise's own production portfolio. Estimated production from the total managed production portfolio amounts to approximately 1.1 TWh per year (equivalent to around 10 % of Sweden's total wind power production in 2014).

During the quarter, Arise has repurchased bonds at a nominal value of MSEK 18. The repurchase refers to the Company's unsecured bond of MSEK 350. The purpose of the repurchase is to reduce gross liabilities and improve Arise's net financial income. Following the repurchase, Arise's holding of the aforementioned bond totals MSEK 50.

Project portfolio

The Company holds a comprehensive project portfolio, comprising approximately 1,000 MW in Sweden as well as ongoing evaluations of several projects in Norway and Finland. In Scotland, preliminary planning is underway for projects comprising approximately 150 MW, for which the Company has signed lease agreements.

Future prospects

The Company will continue its work to expand its range of services, enhance the efficiency of the operations and increase production in operational farms. Negotiations regarding the divestment of operational (20 MW) and construction-ready (50 MW) projects are ongoing, in line with the Company's communicated strategy. The Company deems the opportunities to further strengthen its position on the Nordic market to be good.

Risks and factors of uncertainty

The prices of electricity and certificates have declined during the first quarter. The SEK has weakened slightly relative to the EUR and the Riksbank has lowered its interest rates, which are now at a historically low level.

The Group's risks and factors of uncertainty are described on pages 49-50 in the Annual Report for 2014, and financial risk management is presented on pages 74-79. No significant changes impacting the reported risks have taken place.

Parent Company

The Parent Company has been responsible for the primary activities of identifying suitable wind locations, obtaining leases, producing consequence descriptions, producing zoning plans and obtaining building permits, undertaking negotiations, handling the Group's trading operations in electricity and electricity certificates and carrying out administrative services.

The Parent Company manages the Group's production plans and electricity hedging in accordance with the adopted finance policy. The electricity producing subsidiaries sell their electricity production to clients according to contractually agreed conditions and sell any surplus production to Arise at the spot price. Arise sells on the electricity on the spot market. These intra-Group trading activities are reported at gross value in the income statement. The Parent Company business includes also leasing of production plants. Wind turbines are leased from subsidiaries to be sub-leased to external parties.

The Parent Company's total income during the quarter amounted to MSEK 126 (102) and purchased electricity and certificates, wind power rental, personnel and other external costs, capitalised work on own account as well as depreciation of fixed assets, totalled -129 (-125), with operating profit (EBIT) amounting to MSEK -3 (-23). Net financial income of MSEK -19 (8) and Group contributions of MSEK 15 (-) resulted in net profit/loss after tax of MSEK -6 (-11). The Parent Company's net investments, excluding internal restructuring of subsidiaries, amounted to MSEK 7 (-12).

Ownership structure

A diagram illustrating the Company's ownership structure can be found on the Company's website (www.arise.se).

Note 6 – Fair value financial derivatives

Fair value hierarchy

All of the financial instruments measured at fair value belong to level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. These derivatives consist of electricity futures, currency futures and interest rate swaps. The valuaton at fair value of the currency futures is based on published forward rates in an active market. The valuation of interest rate swaps is based on forward interest rates taken from observable yield curves. The discounting results in no significant impact on the valuaton of the derivatives at Level 2. The reporting of financial instruments is described on pages 74- in the Annual Report for 2014. The Group's financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value as of the balance sheet date are illustrated in the table below.
