• The wind farm, Brotorp, which is comprised of 14 turbines with a total output of 46.2 MW and which is ready for construction has been sold to BlackRock. The construction of the wind farm will start forthwith with Arise as project leader during the construction phase and as manager during the operating phase.
Arise is one of Sweden´s leading onshore wind power companies. The Company's business concept is to develop, build and manage wind farms for its own account and on behalf of investors, with the aim of selling electricity produced by onshore wind turbines. Arise is listed on NASDAQ OMX Stockholm. Arise AB (publ), Box 808, 301 18 Halmstad, tel. +46 (0) 35 20 20 900, Corporate Identity Number 556274-6726

The wind farm, Brotorp in the Municipality of Mönsterås, which is comprised of 14 turbines with a total output of 46.2 MW has been sold to BlackRock. Pursuant to the agreement, Arise assumes the responsibility for project management during the construction phase and for the management of the farm when it becomes operational. The total investment is budgeted at MSEK 650 which will be financed by BlackRock and through a project loan from SEB. The deal implies that Arise will be remunerated for the project development, the project management and the management of the operational wind farm. Construction is to start immediately and Arise's remuneration will be recognised in income in pace with the progress of the project. The final amount of the remuneration depends on the success of the project. Assuming that the project follows the development plan in place and is completed during 2015, the remuneration for project is expected to have a positive impact on income of approximately MSEK 9 for the current year and a further approximate MSEK 37 in 2015. In terms of cash flow, Arise has received approximately MSEK 15 and a further approximate MSEK 46 is expected to be received during 2015.
BlackRock is one of the world's largest fund management companies and we are enormously pleased, and consider it a vote of confidence, that a company of this stature has chosen Arise as its partner for a planned expansion within the wind power sector in Sweden. Our hope is that the Brotorp deal will be followed by several co-operative similar arrangements.
With its primary focus on short-term cash flow effects, rather than on growth, in our proprietary project portfolio, this deal is an example of our revised business model. Nonetheless, we are convinced that the strategy of producing and selling renewable energy, ourselves, is the right path for us and we intend also to increase our production capacity with time. Our strategy in this respect is that the required equity contributions will be financed with the Company's own cash flows.
Our ambition is to create good cash flows and value for shareholders in both the short and long-term through income from a combination of project development, wind farm management and sales of Company-generated, environmentallyfriendly electricity.
The third quarter is usually not a particularly windy period during the financial year, and this proved to be the case for the current year. High-pressure conditions during the summer led to pleasant weather and weak winds, and the quarter, as a whole, concluded approximately 10% under budget. It is, however, pleasing to note that the cash flow was positive in spite of a weak quarter in terms of production.
Viewed over the course of year, the wind has been weaker than usual. Production in the Company's own wind farms is approximately 10% under planned levels (-30 GWh), while production in co-owned projects (Jädraås) is approximately 20% under (-40 GWh for our share), giving a total of approximately 70 GWh under budget. This represents the primary reason for the year's disappointing financial performance, to date. On a positive note, production during October was somewhat better than anticipated (+4 GWh). We will hopefully be able to regain some of the lost production during the remaining months of the year. However, it is likely that total production for the current year will come in under budget.
As previously announced, the sale of Stjärnarp wind farm (3 turbines) has been delayed following an appeal. The Administrative Court has now rejected the appeal and the transaction can be completed, assuming that the ruling is confirmed and is not appealed to the Administrative Court of Appeal, which would be the claimant's final available course of action.
Arise has acquired a project with permits in place for 10 turbines, and this project is situated approximately 4 km south of the Jädraås wind farm. A licence application for a new link/up to the electrical grid has been submitted. The potential synergies with the Jädraås farm are substantial, implying that the project's financial conditions are positive even with the prevailing low prices for electricity and electricity certificates.
The Company has been in dialogue with the authorities in Scotland regarding a major project involving 20 to 30 turbines along the Scottish north coast. The authorities have a positive view of this project, and the permit application process has been initiated. The wind conditions at the site are excellent and there are good premises for connections to the electrical grid.
The Company's focus is now on the construction of the Brotorp wind farm to be undertaken together with BlackRock. The goal is that the entire park will be operational before the end of next year.
In line with our new strategy, discussions are also underway regarding the sale of a number of new projects in the "Permits received" stage. Capital freed up through such sales will be used to reduce the Company's borrowings and will also be used to invest in new, efficient wind farms, with both measures strengthening the Company's cash flow and profitability.
Halmstad, 18 July 2014 Peter Nygren CEO Arise AB (publ)
Total electricity production amounted to 117.4 GWh, which is 14% more than in the previous year (103.3 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 segments Own and Co-owned wind power operations are reported exclusive of internal interest expenses on shareholder loans from Arise and, as regards Coowned wind power operations, is also exclusive of interest expenses on shareholder loans from Platina Partners owner companies. The corresponding reduction in interest income in Arise has reduced net financial income in the segment Wind power development. The shareholder loans incur interest of approximately 6% and all relevant figures are reported in Notes 4 and 7.
Production from Own wind power operations (including leases) amounted to 79.3 (54.5) GWh in the Company's wholly-owned farms, an increase of 46%, or slightly more than 25 GWh, which is mainly due to the greater number of turbines in operation.
The Company's average income for electricity amounted to SEK 338 (476) per MWh, or 15% over market price (SYS, system price Nord Pool Spot) for the same period (SEK 293 per MWh). Price hedging further contributed to the Company's average income for certificates amounting to SEK 231 (284) per MWh, or 27% over market price (according to Svensk Kraftmäkling AB) for the same period (SEK 182 per MWh).
Overall, Own wind power operations generated income of MSEK 48 (42) and an EBITDA of MSEK 33 (30), an increase of 14% in income and 8% in EBITDA, respectively, compared with the third quarter of 2013. The 46% increase in production contributed MSEK 19 to net sales, while the lower average price for electricity negatively implied a reduction in net sales of MSEK 14 compared with the equivalent quarter in 2013. Operating expenses for the segment declined to SEK 194 (222), per MWh, due primarily to the fact that the Company's fixed costs are distributed over a higher level of production. Depreciation and net financial income amounted to MSEK -24 (-21), respective MSEK -29 (-15). The increases in both depreciation and net financial income can be explained by the Company having a greater number of turbines in operation. The increase in net financial income is also due to the fact that the Company reported previously capitalised bank fees as expenses in conjunction with the re-financing of the bond loan, as well as to the fact that increased interest expenses were reported during the transitional period, together having a combined effect amounting to approximately MSEK -3. In addition, net financial income for the quarter was negatively impacted by interest expenses of MSEK -4 attributable to the exercise of the swaps reported in the Q2 report. Profit/loss before tax for the quarter was, consequently, MSEK -20, compared with MSEK -6 last year.
All figures in the segment reporting refer to Arise's 50% share, or 101.5 MW, in the Jädraås project. Electricity production during the third quarter amounted to 38.0 (48.9) GWh, which was 22% lower than during the previous year due to weaker wind levels.
The segment generated income of MSEK 22 (24) and an EBITDA of MSEK 15 (18). Deprecation and net financial income amounted to MSEK -16 (-15) and MSEK -12 (-13), respectively, and profit/loss before tax was, consequently, MSEK -13 (-9). Average income was SEK 588 (489) per MWh, with SEK 408 (328) per MWh for electricity and SEK 180 (160) per MWh for electricity certificates. The decrease in profit/loss was due to lower production levels and somewhat higher operating expenses than in the corresponding quarter of 2013.
The chosen form of financing implies that the project's cash flow will accrue to the co-owners through, primarily, interest payments and amortisation prior to any dividends being paid out from the project. During 2014, approximately MSEK 42 was received from the project, of which just over MSEK 10 was recorded during the first quarter and MSEK 32 during the third quarter. The next payment is expected to be received during Q1 2015.
All in all, total income and EBITDA for the quarter for Wind power development amounted to MSEK 6 (19) and MSEK 4 (7), respectively. The decrease is largely due to received development fees of MSEK 13 being included during the previous year. Operating expenses were MSEK 9 lower than during the previous year, MSEK -8 compared with MSEK -17, and this is explained by lower personnel costs and other expenses. No significant changes occurred in net financial income, MSEK -4 (-5) and profit/loss before tax decreased to MSEK -4 (-3).
Net sales during the quarter amounted to MSEK 45 (41). Other operating income amounted to MSEK 7 (17) and total income amounted, thereby, to MSEK 52 (58).
Capitalised work on own account amounting to MSEK 7 (4) was reported during the quarter. The Company's share of profits in associated companies amounted to MSEK -15 (-12) and refers, in its entirety, to the 50 % ownership of the Jädraås project. Reported income represents net income, that is, after taxes.
Operating profit before depreciation (EBITDA) amounted to MSEK 22 (25). The decrease is primarily attributable to the fact that development fees of MSEK 13 were received during 2013. Operating profit (EBIT) amounted to MSEK -6 (-1) including depreciation and write-downs of MSEK -28 (-26). Net financial income was MSEK -27 (-14) and profit/loss before tax amounted to MSEK -33 (-15). Profit/loss after tax was MSEK -29 (-15), equivalent to earnings per share of SEK -0.86 (-0.44) before and after dilution
Net investments in property, plant and equipment for the quarter amounted to MSEK 16 (91); the entire amount refers to wind power development.
Cash flow from operating activities before changes in working capital amounted to MSEK 63 (35). Changes in working capital contributed MSEK 7 (41), resulting in a cash flow from operating activities of MSEK 71 (76). Investments in property, plant and equipment totalled MSEK -16 (-91), whereby cash flow after investing activities amounted to MSEK 54 (-15). The net amount of noncurrent and current interest-bearing liabilities decreased cash flow by MSEK -1 (52), attributable to repayments. Interest of MSEK -25 (-25) has been paid and interest of MSEK 0 (0) has been received. Payments have been made to or from blocked accounts, totalling MSEK 0 (1), after which cash flow for the quarter amounted to MSEK 28 (12).
The expansion of Swedish wind power has generally slowed, primarily as a result of the prevailing low electricity and certificate prices, and Arise is no exception in this context. The Company's stated goal of constructing a further 650 MW of onshore wind power by the end of 2017 has, subsequently, been amended to "The Company's overriding goal is to provide a good return for shareholders in the form of dividends and capital growth through efficient funding, management, operation and project development in the area of renewable energy."
At the end of September 2014, the Company re-financed the unsecured bond loan from March 2012 which matures in March 2015. The new bond loan is for MSEK 350 and matures in 2017. The bond incurs variable interest of STIBOR (3 months) plus 6 percentage points. The bond has been quoted on the NASDAQ OMX Stockholm.
Production from Own wind power operations (including leases) during the first nine months of the year amounted to 275.7 GWh, compared with 203.5 GWh during the previous year; an increase of 35%, or 72 GWh, mainly due to new turbines being put into operation, but also due to other turbines reporting better production.
The market price for electricity was significantly lower during 2014 than in 2013, with an average price of SEK 264 (333) per MWh. Price hedging within the Own wind power operations segment contributed to an average price from electricity of SEK 365 (420) per MWh, exceeding the market average price by approximately 38%. Certificate prices were also lower during 2014 than in 2013. Thanks to effective price hedges, the average income within the segment amounted to SEK 222 (283) per MWh during the period, or 24% higher than the market average price of SEK 180 (201) per MWh.
In total, Own wind power operations generated income of MSEK 171 (145) and an EBITDA of MSEK 131 (108), increases of 18% and 22%, respectively, compared with 2013. The increase in production of 35% grew net sales by MSEK 51, while the lower average price reduced net sales by MSEK -32 compared with the equivalent period 2013. Operating expenses amounted to SEK 147 (183) per MWh, a decrease of 20%, mainly referring to the fact that the Company's fixed costs are spread over a higher level of production. Depreciation and net financial income amounted to MSEK -70 (-62) and MSEK -65 (-46), respectively. The increases in both depreciation and net financial income can be explained by the Company having more turbines in operation. The increase to net financial income is also due to the fact that the Company had previously reported capitalised bank fees as expenses in conjunction with both re-financings of the bond loan. The increase was also a result of the fact that increased interest expenses had been reported during the transitional period. These two factors, together, had a combined effect amounting to approximately MSEK -12. In addition, net financial income for the quarter was negatively impacted by interest expenses of MSEK 7 attributable to the exercise of the swaps reported in the Q2 report. Profit/loss before tax was, therefore, MSEK -4, compared with MSEK -1 last year.
Electricity production amounted to 165.3 (159.6) GWh, which is an increase of 4%. The segment generated income of MSEK 90 (81) and an EBITDA of MSEK 65 (65). Operating expenses were SEK 152 per MWh. Depreciation and net financial income amounted to MSEK -47 (-27) and MSEK -35 (-24), respectively, whereby profit/loss before tax was MSEK -17, compared with MSEK 14 during the previous year. The reason for the higher level of expenses during 2014 is that the wind farms were successively put into operation during the first half of 2013, resulting in lower levels of depreciation and incurred interest. Average income was SEK 544 (506) per MWh, with SEK 353 (336) per MWh for electricity and SEK 191 (171) per MWh for electricity certificates.
In total, income in the segment Wind power development amounted to MSEK 20 (52) during the nine-month period. The decrease is primarily attributable to the fact that development fees of MSEK 27 were received during 2013. Operating expenses decreased to MSEK -41 (-55) due to a lower level of personnel costs and other expenses. EBITDA decreased from MSEK 13 to MSEK -10. Depreciation and write-downs increased to MSEK -8 (-7) and net financial income declined somewhat to MSEK -18 (-17). As a whole, this implies that profit/loss before tax decreased from MSEK -11 to MSEK -36.
The production volume within Own and Co-owned wind power operations during the period amounted to 441 (363) GWh, an increase of 21%.
Net sales during the period amounted to MSEK 162 (143) and other operating income amounted to MSEK 24 (44). This implies total income of MSEK 186 (187), a decrease of 0.4%.
Capitalised work on own account amounted to MSEK 11 (16) and the share of profit in associated companies amounted to MSEK -28 (3) and referred, in its entirety, to the Company's 50% share of the Jädraås project. This refers to net profit, that is, profit/loss after tax.
Operating expenses decreased to MSEK -76 (-82). Expenses for the operation of wind farms increased due to the higher level of production and an increased number of turbines, but this was compensated for by the reduction in personnel costs. This meant that operating profit before depreciation (EBITDA) totalled MSEK 92 (123), including development fees of MSEK 0 (27) for the Jädraås project. Operating profit (EBIT) amounted to MSEK 14 (54), including depreciation and write-downs of MSEK -78 (-69). Net financial income decreased to MSEK -64 (-53), for which reason profit/loss before tax amounted to MSEK -50 (1). Profit/loss after tax was MSEK -45 (1), equivalent to an earnings per share of SEK -1.35 (0.04), before and after dilution.
Net investments in property, plant and equipment amounted to MSEK 114 (237); the entire amount refers to planned wind power development.
Cash flow from operating activities before changes in working capital amounted to MSEK 130 (134). Changes in working capital increased cash flow by MSEK 18 (6). Investments in property, plant and equipment totalled MSEK -114 (-237), while cash flow after investing activities was MSEK 33 (-98). Non-current and current interestbearing liabilities decreased by MSEK -45 (1), thanks to the net repayment of borrowings in conjunction with the re-financing of loans. Interest, including redeemed swaps and bank fees, amounting to MSEK -154 (-73), has been paid, and interest of MSEK 10 (1) has been received. Repayments from blocked accounts in an amount of MSEK 72 (-3) have been made, after which cash flow for the first nine months of the year amounted to MSEK -83 (-172).
Net interest-bearing liabilities amounted to MSEK 1,552 (1,435). The equity/assets ratio at the end of the year was 36.6 (37.8) percent.
Cash and cash equivalents amounted to MSEK 108 (169). No unutilised credit remained at the end of the period (MSEK 204).
As Arise has only Swedish subsidiaries, tax has been calculated on the basis of the Swedish tax rate, 22.0%.
Considering the Group's fiscal write-off possibilities, it is deemed that there will be no tax payments to report in the near future.
No transactions were undertaken with related parties during the period.
No changes have taken place in the Group's reported contingent liabilities. These are described on page 73 under Note 21 of the Annual Report for 2013.
In the middle of April 2014, the Company issued a fiveyear,secured green bond loan. The bond amount totalled SEK 1.1 billion and matures in 2019. The bond incurs floating interest of STIBOR (3 months) + 3.00 percent. The bond is listed on the NASDAQ OMX Stockholm.
The wind farm Brotorp in the Municipality of Mönsterås, with 14 wind turbines, and a total output of 46.2 MW has been sold to BlackRock. Pursuant to the agreement, Arise assumes the responsibility for project management during the construction phase and for the management of the farm when it becomes operational. The total investment is budgeted at MSEK 650. This deal implies that Arise will be remunerated for the project development, the project management and the management of the operational wind farm. Construction is to start forthwith and Arise's remuneration will be recognised in income in pace with the progress of the project.
As regards the Stjärnarp deal with Kumbro Vind AB, the Administrative Court has now rejected the appeal and the transaction can, therefore, be completed, assuming that the ruling is confirmed and is not appealed to the Administrative Court of Appeal, which would be the claimant's final available course of action.
The Company will continue its work to expand its range of services, to enhance the efficiency of the operations and to secure opportunities to provide shareholders with a good return in the form of dividends and increased share value. The Company deems that the possibility to further strengthen its position in the Nordic market is good.
The third quarter saw an upward trend in the markets for both electricity and certificates. The EUR/SEK exchange rate has continued to improve; however, this compensates only marginally for the depressed electricity prices. Interest rate levels are also at a historically low level, and the room for further decreases in the interest rate is deemed to be limited. The focus of the Company's monitoring is primarily on the development of electricity and certificate prices, as well as on exchange rates, particularly as regards the EUR.
The Group'srisks and factors of uncertainty are described in pages 39-40 in the Annual Report for 2013 and the financialrisk management is presented on pages 61-67. No significant changes impacting the reported risks have taken place.

Wind power projects where the wind farm has been handed over after completion of test runs and is generating electricity. During the first three months, the turbines are calibrated and a comprehensive first service is performed. The turbines do not reach optimum production during this initial period. Full and normal production can, consequently, be expected three months after the approval of the test runs and take over.
Refers to projects for which the requisite permits have been obtained, an investment decision has been made by the Company's Board of Directors, equity and loan financing is available, and for which procurements have been made as regards the majority of the project's total investment costs.
Projects which have received the permits required for construction to begin, but where construction has not yet been initiated. In certain cases, Arise is awaiting the availability of sufficient wind data.
The first stage in a permit application is the consultation stage, in which the Company applies for permits to build the wind farm from regional and local authorities. If the transmission network is to be built by Arise Elnät, and the Company will also apply for a concession to operate the network from the Swedish Energy Markets Inspectorate. This stage is concluded when all of the requisite permits have been obtained, or upon the rejection of the permit application.
After signing land lease agreements, the Company begins project planning work on the basis of the site's specific wind power characteristics. The area is carefully analysed and the exact coordinates of the planned turbines are determined. The initial wind studies are based on theoretical maps but, at a later stage, actual wind measurements are made using the Company's wind measuring equipment.
Leases are signed after negotiations between landowners and the Company. Long-term land leases have been concluded for the entire project portfolio, giving the Company the right, but not the obligation, to construct wind turbines on the leased properties. For the majority of the projects, project planning has been initiated but is yet to be completed. The feasibility studies per-formed by the Company prior to the signing of a lease serve as a preliminary specification of the number and location of the new wind turbines.
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.
Since the first quarter of 2013, the Parent Company's operations have increased through the leasing of production plants. Wind turbines are leased from subsidiaries to be subleased to external parties.
The Parent Company's total income during the nine-month period amounted to MSEK 233 (213) and purchased electricity and certificates, wind power rental, personnel, other external costs and capitalised work on own account, as well as depreciation of fixed assets, totalled MSEK -268 (-208), whereby operating profit (EBIT) amounted to MSEK -36 (5). Profit/loss after tax amounted to MSEK -32 (9). The Parent Company's net investments, including internal restructuring of subsidiaries, amounted to MSEK -1,599 (316).
A diagram illustrating the Company's ownership structure can be found on the Company's website (www.arise.se).
Arise follows IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards) as adopted by the EU and interpretations of such standards (IFRIC). This interim report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, "Interim Financial Reporting". The Parent Company's reporting has been pre-pared in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act and RFR2. The ac-counting principles are consistent with those applied in the most re-cent Annual Report for 2013, in which the principles are described in Note 1 on pages 48-55.
Income from leased production plants is reported in net sales. The leasing income is included in the calculation of electricity and certificate prices and is reported as a hedging of electricity and certificate income.
This report has been subject to review by the Company's auditors.

We have reviewed the condensed interim financial information (interim report) of Arise AB (publ) as per 30 September 2014 for the nine-month period then ended. The Board of Directors and CEO are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of this interim financial information in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim report based on our review.
We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements 2410, "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity." A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review has a different focus and is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and generally accepted auditing standards. The procedures performed in a review do not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Therefore, an opinion expressed on the basis of a review does not provide the level of assurance of an opinion expressed on the basis of an audit.
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim financial information is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 and the Annual Accounts Act as regards the Group, and in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act as regards the Parent Company.

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 vlaue of the currency futures is based on published forward rates in an active market. The valuation of interest rate swaps I based on forward interest rates taken from observalbe yield curves. The discounting results in no significant impact on the valuaton of the derivatives at Level 2. The reporting of financial instruments is describd on pages 61-67 in the Annual Report for 2013. The Group's financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value as of the balance sheet date are illustrated in the table below

The operations in the Company's associated company, Sirocco, have been secured through, amongst other things, financial derivatives in the form of electricity futures. The Group applies hedge accounting which implies that unrealised gains and losses on these electricity futures are reported in Other comprehensiveincome. The Sirrocco Group's electricity futures have, by way of error, not been reported in the Group's comprehensive income for the second quarter and for the first six months 2014. The total fair value as at 30 September amounts to MSEK 71 and MSEK 83 as at 30 June. The equivalent amount after tax for these values was MSEK 16 and MSEK 18 repectively. These amounts should have been reported in the balance sheet as receivables and in Other comprehensive income for the respective quarters.
