About Aega ASA

Aega ASA is a solar utility company that acquires and operates solar power plants. The company currently owns a portfolio of six individual solar parks in Italy with a combined production capacity of 6MW. The company focuses on acquisitions of smaller operating solar parks (below 5MW capacity), meeting the company's strict investment criteria. It targets to reach a total production capacity of 50MW within the end of 2017 by taking advantage of the current attractive market for secondary solar parks in Italy. The company has its operating offices in Oslo, Norway, and Trento, Italy. The company's shares are listed on Oslo Axess.

Q2 IN SHORT

  • Quarterly dividend of NOK 0.075 per share was paid in May, another dividend of NOK 0.075 per share will be paid 31 August
  • Intended acquisition of a 14 MW solar park portfolio terminated due to due diligence findings
  • Successfully completed capital raise of NOK 25.5 million
  • Purchased a new solar park in June, increasing total production capacity to 6 MW
  • Attractive investment opportunities and growth plans unchanged. Ambition of reaching 50 MW by end 2017
  • Production output was 3.1 per cent over budget in Q2 and 5.1 per cent over budget in first half of 2016. OPEX per MW reduced by entering new agreement for O&M and renegotiated the Italian property tax (IMU)
  • Extra ordinary transaction costs relating to listing due diligence, acquisition of Piano Mulino S.r.l and the due diligence of the mentioned 14MW portfolio.

HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE REPORTING PERIOD

Operations

Production is 5.1 per cent above the seasonally adjusted base case production as of 30 June 2016, due to (i) higher irradiation, (ii) close performance monitoring and (iii) the effect of the company's optimization measures. Revenues were 3.4 per cent higher than budget, due to higher production than base case.

In Q2 Aega signed an operation and maintenance agreement with one of the worlds leading specialists for renewable energies Juwi AG. Already from the start of Q3 Juwi will be the O&M operator of 5 out of 6 plants. Aega has worked with Juwi for 2 years already and is confident that this move will lead to higher production. In addition the price of the services are lower than in the previous O&M contracts. The cost saving effect will first be visible from Q1 2017 when old contracts are fully terminated.

New regulation implemented in 2016 opened for a re-calculation of cadastral values for photovoltaic plants. During the quarter Aega has used the new regulation to renegotiate the the property tax "IMU" from EUR 77 220 down to EUR 7 120 for the 5 plants owned at the beginning of the period.

Portfolio Cumulated Production vs. Base Case

Corporate events

In compliance with Aega's policy to pay quarterly dividends, NOK 0.075 per share was paid on 31 May 2016. The next quarterly dividend, also NOK 0.075 per share, will be paid on 31 August 2016.

The company successfully completed a private placement of new shares for a total consideration of NOK 25.5 million. The over-subscribed placement was made at a subscription price of NOK 3 per share. The new shares were listed on Oslo Axess on 19 August 2016.

The company made one new investment during the quarter; a 1 MW solar plant in Casoli, Abruzzo, Italy. The company now owns a portfolio of 6 high quality solar plants with a total production capacity of 6 MW.

Aega considered the opportunity to buy a company owning a 14 MW solar plant portfolio and EUR 10.7 mill in cash, against a share-based consideration. The negotiations were terminated due to findings in the due diligence process. All of the company's new investments undergo a rigorous due diligence process, and a satisfactory outcome is a prerequisite before going forward with any investment decision. Although the intended transaction contemplated risk mitigants, the findings were red flags according to the company's investment criteria, and the process was therefore terminated.

Outlook

Aega's growth plans are unchanged; the company's ambition is to reach a production capacity of 50 MW within the end of 2017. The 50 MW target will be the company's first milestone.

The management team has worked extensively with screening and evaluation of new investment opportunities. Potential investments that meet the company's investment criteria are abundant, and the management team has now identified new investments with a total production capacity of 12.4 MW where attractive terms are agreed, and preliminary technical and legal screening have been preformed. The company does not see investment opportunities as a limiting factor to the company's growth plans.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

On 20 January 2016, Aega ASA (Former Nordic Financials ASA) acquired Aega Yieldco AS in a reverse takeover transaction. For accounting purposes Aega Yieldco AS has been identified as the acquiring party. Therefore, comparison figures are from Aega Yieldco AS's business in Q2 2015. It should be noted that the Aega group in Q2 2015 only had revenues from two solar power parks, while in Q2 2016 the company owns and operates six solar power parks. This means that comparing financial figures quarter to quarter provides limited information on financial performance.

Revenues in Q2 2016 were EUR 662k compared to EUR 275k in the same period last year. The total power production was 2161 MWh, which is 3.1 per cent higher than the seasonally adjusted base case production of 2096 MWh.

Total costs in Q2 2016 were EUR 901k compared to EUR 41k in the same period last year. The company has had non-recurring cost related to new investments and financing activities. Transaction and other non-recurring costs are estimated to EUR 509k.

Net financial income was negative EUR 245k in Q2 2016, compared to negative EUR 88k in Q2 2015. Pre-tax profit was negative EUR 687k in Q2 2016 and the tax charge was EUR 36k, resulting in a net loss of EUR 722k in the quarter compared to a profit of EUR 81k in Q2 2015.

Earnings per share (EPS) was negative EUR 0.030 in Q2 2016, compared to a gain of EUR 0.013 in the same period last year.

The assets on the balance sheet consist of the portfolio of six individual solar parks in Italy, two remaining financial investments and cash bank deposits. The solar parks are financed with bank loans or leasing finance, where the assets of parks are registered as security. The parks are held in separate single purpose companies, and each company has a separate loan financing (ring fenced).

The company had cash and short term deposits of EUR 1 627k at the end of Q2 2016 compared to EUR 370k one year earlier.

Comments on remaining financial investments

The company holds shares in the listed company Wilson ASA. In accordance with the Norwegian Public Companies Act, requiring a majority owner with more than 90 per cent holding to make a compulsory offer to buy the remaining shares, the company has required the majority owner of Wilson ASA to buy the remaining shares. Court proceedings to determine fair value of the shares were held in April 2016 and the court's ruling concluded on a fair value of NOK 10.60 per share, and that Aega shall bear its own and the other party's costs in connection with the proceedings. Aega has appealed the ruling. The company is of the opinion that the fair value should be around NOK 22-23 per share, consistent with Wilson ASA's booked equity. In the accounts, Aega is using a valuation of NOK 10.60 per share and has made a provision for the other party's costs according to the appealed ruling.

The company's other remaining investment, a fixed income bond issued by Polarcus, is held for sale and is valued at market price.

Coloured marking signals that the company accounts is included in the group-consolidated accounts.

As illustrated in the timeline above the Q2 report is based on Aega Energy Prima AS being identified as the acquirer of first Aega Yieldco AS and then Aega Yieldco AS as the acquirer of Nordic Financials ASA. This assessment is based on a substance over form consideration. The main argument for having Aega Energy Prima AS and later Aega Yieldco AS as the acquirer is that the shareholders in the acquired company actually gain a material stake in the acquiring company, and the business of the acquired company is the one that prevails. In addition Aega Energy Prima AS has the longest history in the segment of the "new" Aega ASA.

Aega Energy Prima AS was established 28 April 2014 and bought the first solar power park in August 2014, Photo-Volt One Srl. At the end of Q1 2015 it bought the second park DT Srl. In November 2015, Aega Yieldco AS purchased Aega Prima Energy AS, Aega Seconda Energy AS and Aega Terza Energy AS, with consideration in shares, for accounting purposes. In January 2016 Aega Yieldco AS was purchased by Nordic Financials ASA with consideration in shares (now Aega ASA). The transaction was considered a reverse takeover for accounting purposes.

Note 12: Subsequent events

Two company subsidiaries were notified with tax claims relating to pre-acquisition tax liabilities during the quarter. The total amount of the tax liabilities is EUR 630k. The company is of the view that the share purchase agreement signed between the company and the seller of the affected subsidiaries covers said liabilities. No provisions are made in the Q2 accounts because the company expects the seller to cover the liabilities.
