• Evolar, Helios
Look for entrepreneurs with integrity Sleep well Huge investment in screening people, build network of advisors
Remain agile and adaptable
  • Be able to respond quickly. Empower local teams
  • Seize opportunities
Rapidly entered Italy, Germany and data centers as favourable market conditions were observed
P , Stay in early-stage
  • Free money for reinvestment and return of capital
  • Exploit mega-trends
  • Position Magnora for large funds
  • Divest legacy
  • Exit Evolar prior to full industrialisation
No expensive stuff on the balance sheet Do not compete with cheap-capital players Disciplined investments and farm-downs (e.g. green ammonia)

Rare high-growth DC opportunity to expand in the Nordics will have high priority

Magnora allocates capital to where the company expects a return well above the cost of capital.

The capital structure is normally all equity based with substantial cash.

Considering the need for growth capital and expected future cash flows, excess capital will normally be returned to the shareholders through dividend, repayment of paid-in capital or share buybacks with subsequent cancelling of shares.

The Board considers the data center growth opportunity to be special and halts regular dividend in order to allocate more capital to this side of the business

The Group will continue to pay extraordinary dividend and continue share buybacks going forward

  • Companies with a shareholder interest of more than 50% are accounted by the consolidation method
  • The full net profit/loss is recognised
  • Companies with a shareholder interest of less or equal to 50% and more than 20% are accounted by the equity method
  • The Group recognises its share of the financial results according to its ownership share
  • Typically, sales convert to revenues from 0-24 months from signing based on maturity of projects and "ready-to-build" status depending on multiple factors
  • Remaining companies IFRS

EQUITY METHOD

Outlook

Advancement of

  • Farm down and sales expected in most markets
  • A surge of interest to partner with Magnora for data center development in the Nordics
  • Earnouts, revenue sharing and milestone payments from divested companies and option sales and projects

  • On track for 10 GW by 2025

  • Accelerating development efforts in growing markets
  • Sustainable and recurring project development for years ahead

  • In Q4 2025, data center expansion has priority over regular dividends

  • Financial position and expected cash flow allows for active buybacks

commercial efforts Portfolio growth Capital distribution Cost and capital discipline

• The Group manages and controls cost and capital on a continuous basis

Guiding 2025 – updated price range

  • Figures net to Magnora, that is ownership share x capacity of a given asset
  • We strive to be conservative in portfolio estimates, counting assets with signed land agreements and a reasonable prospect for grid connection
  • In 2025 a ~2 GW of portfolio is "marketable" including a 1 GW+ in South Africa given a suitable window of opportunity (typically an auction or grid availability)
  • Sales are frequently closed early, combining up-front and milestone payments1
  • Sales range has been lifted due to data center projects
  • Prices differ with high prices in the UK and other deregulated markets. A sustained fall in the prices of solar PV and batteries serve to improve or maintain the pricing power of developers with mature projects.
  • As previously, outliers are excluded

1Most sales occur pre "ready-to-build" with significant advance payments and subsequent payments subject to milestones. We recognize revenue when these milestones are met.

2Solar PV and BESS in South Africa (SA) may trade below our guiding, but SA wind assets are in the high range, as well as data centers. Due to costs and project size, developer margins are quite satisfactory in all asset classes. Certain assets in certain markets are also likely to trade above our guiding. Data Center developer margins higher than renewables
