"We want to increase our capability and deliver larger farms to our customers."
"When it is time to refinance ourselves, our options will increase and the cost of capital could therefore be lower. That is very satisfying"
We have left an intense fourth quarter behind us.
Winds were weak up until the final quarter of the year, but we almost achieved our annual budget for production due to unusually strong winds during the last three months. At the same time, the relatively mild weather held back electricity spot prices during the quarter.
We divested the operational Bohult wind farm to Allianz Global Investors and are satisfied with the terms that were achieved. The sale made a strong contribution to reduce our net debt to under SEK 1 billion. The cash position was strengthened by approx. MSEK 90.
We completed both the Mombyåsen and Ryssbol projects during the period with a satisfactory result. We have once again shown that we can deliver projects on time and on or below budget. The sales helped us to deliver profit before tax of MSEK 12 for the fourth quarter.
Arise also signed its first agreement in Norway. BlackRock, a leading global asset manager, has selected us for the technical and commercial management of its Tellenes wind farm, with a capacity of 160 MW. The farm is under construction and our work will commence in spring.
In mid-October, the Swedish Energy Agency presented its recommendation, on behalf of the Swedish government, regarding an extension of the electricity-certificate system. Their proposed quota curve, which refers to the demand for electricity certificates during the 2021-2030 period, is concentrated to the second-half of the ten-year period. Like the rest of our industry, we believe this design unfortunate, and that it could lead to an increased surplus of electricity certificates in the market. The industry's objective is to achieve a better proposal.
After the end of the period, the Board made a decision to issue convertible bonds with preferential rights for shareholders, and the terms and conditions were announced today. It is very gratifying that several of our major shareholders have chosen to support the transaction. The new issue is supported by subscription undertakings, a letter of intent to subscribe and guarantees covering 100% of the planned issue amount.
We have repeatedly demonstrated that we can create value for our customers, and developed projects at a favourable pace. We want to increase our capability and deliver larger farms to our customers.
The strengthened capital base that the issue will help us create, will provide new opportunities for growing our business. This will boost our credibility as a partner, and give us greater bargaining strength in attractive business discussions in the future. We believe the windpower industry is moving towards consolidation and we want to play an active role in such a potential development.
When it is time to refinance ourselves, our options will increase and the cost of capital could therefore be lower. That is very satisfying.

Earnings for the quarter were characterised by stronger winds than normal and sustained low electricity and certificate prices, although electricity prices recovered slightly compared with the beginning of the year. Total production, including the company's share in the Jädraås project, rose to 238 GWh (228). The average price for the company's own production declined SEK 85 to SEK 433 per MWh (518), due to lower market prices and the discontinuation of wind-farm leases during the year. Despite this, net sales rose to MSEK 290 (151), mainly due to the sale of Bohult during the quarter.
Operating expenses amounted to MSEK 231 (90), of which MSEK 203 (50) was attributable to cost of sold projects and contracts. The remaining MSEK 29 (39) consisted of personnel and other external expenses. Own capitalised work amounted to MSEK 2 (4). Consolidated profit/loss from associates was MSEK 0 (-19), including an impairment loss of MSEK 0 (-32), Note 4. Overall, EBITDA increased MSEK 12 to MSEK 61 (48). EBIT increased to MSEK 33 (26), including impairment losses of MSEK -7 (0). Net financial items improved, partially due to lower borrowings and currency fluctuations. Profit/loss before and after tax totalled MSEK 12 (- 4) and MSEK 10 (-4), respectively.
Weaker winds than normal and fewer farms in operation resulted in lower total production, including the Jädraås project, of 640 GWh (774). The average price for the company's own production declined SEK 72 to SEK 433 per MWh (505). Despite this, net sales rose MSEK 107 due to higher development and management income in 2016 compared with 2015. Operating expenses amounted to MSEK 464 (301), of which MSEK 367 (174) was attributable to sales and contracts. The remaining MSEK 97 (127) consisted of personnel and other external expenses. Own capitalised work was MSEK 8 (10). Consolidated profit/loss in associates amounted to MSEK 0 (-25), including an impairment loss of MSEK 0 (-39).
Overall, EBITDA declined MSEK 55, mainly the result of lower production and average prices, but also due to a slightly lower revenue recognition margin in development and management. However, EBIT improved MSEK 91 due to impairment losses of MSEK -18, compared with MSEK -151 in the preceding year. Net financial items improved, partially due to lower borrowings and currency fluctuations, bringing profit/loss before and after tax to MSEK -52 (-164) and MSEK -41 (-156), respectively.
Operating cash flow, MSEK
Cash flow from operating activities before changes in working capital was MSEK 63 (70). Changes in working capital amounted to MSEK -26 (-42), partly driven by ongoing external projects during the period. Total operating cash flow thereby amounted to MSEK 38 (28). Cash flow from investing activities was MSEK 158 (-11), net, bringing cash flow after investments to MSEK 195 (17). In connection with the sale of Bohult, existing project financing of MSEK 91 was redeemed and restricted funds of MSEK 10 (-3), net, were released. Interest of MSEK -18 (-21) was paid and interest of MSEK 0 (1) was received, bringing cash flow for the quarter to MSEK 96 (-5).
Cash flow from operating activities before changes in working capital was MSEK 139 (218). Changes in working capital amounted to MSEK 43 (-48), partly driven by project settlements during the first quarter, customer advances in the third quarter and the accumulation of working capital in ongoing external projects. Total operating cash flow was therefore MSEK 182 (170). Projects were both acquired and divested during the period, bringing net cash flows from investing activities to MSEK 160 (116). Cash flow after investments therefore amounted to MSEK 342 (287). An overdraft facility was repaid, 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 -195 (-156), while interest of MSEK -73 (-92) was paid and interest of MSEK 1 (7) was received. Net payments to or from blocked accounts totalled MSEK 9 (1) and warrants were issued, bringing cash flow for the period to MSEK 84 (46).
Net interest-bearing debt amounted to MSEK 992 (1,248). Cash and cash equivalents were MSEK 287 (203) and unutilised overdraft facilities amounted to MSEK 50 (18). In addition, Arise has a MSEK 50 holding in the company's senior unsecured bonds. At the end of the period, the equity/assets ratio was 41% (39).

Due to stronger than normal winds during the period, production by the company's wholly-owned farms rose to 128 (125) GWh, representing an increase of 3% or about 4 GWh. The reasons for the increase not being greater were stronger than normal winds also in the fourth quarter of 2015, and that the company had fewer farms in operation compared with the same year-earlier period.
Average income for electricity and certificates was SEK 310 per MWh (340) and SEK 122 per MWh (178), respectively. Electricity (SE4) was 15% lower, and certificates (SKM) 9% lower, than the market price for the period, due to among other electricity price hedging in a rising market and changes in the value of certificates stocks.
Net sales rose MSEK 2 due to higher production, but declined MSEK 11 due to a lower average price compared with the year-earlier quarter. As a result, net sales and EBITDA declined MSEK 9 and MSEK 10, respectively, year-on-year. Specific operating expense increased to SEK 102 per MWh (97). EBIT was MSEK 22 (31). Net financial items improved, partially due to currency fluctuations, and profit/loss before tax therefore declined MSEK 1 to MSEK 4 (5).
Production in the company's wholly-owned farms decreased to 353 GWh (442), due to weaker than normal winds during the period and stronger than normal winds in the year-earlier period. In addition, there were fewer farms in operation during the year compared with 2015.
Average income from electricity and certificates was SEK 297 per MWh (340) and SEK 136 per MWh (165), respectively. These figures were 6% higher than the market price for electricity (SE4) and 1% lower than the market price for certificates (SKM) for the period.
Net sales decreased MSEK 45 due to lower production, and MSEK 25 due to a lower average price, year-on-year. Overall, net sales and EBITDA therefore declined MSEK 71 and MSEK 64, respectively, year-on-year. Specific operating expense increased to SEK 126 per MWh (118) due to lower production. EBIT was MSEK 11 (-41), including impairment losses of MSEK -12 (-120). Net financial items strengthened, partly due to currency fluctuations. Overall, profit/loss before tax therefore increased to MSEK -54 (-126).

The figures presented in the segment reporting refer to Arise's 50% stake, or 101.5 MW, in the Jädraås project. For the consolidated results, refer to Note 4. Electricity production in the fourth quarter amounted to 110 GWh (103), due to stronger winds compared with the year-earlier quarter. Average income was SEK 544 per MWh (483), of which SEK 380 per MWh (310) pertained to electricity and SEK 163 per MWh (173) to electricity certificates.
Net sales rose MSEK 3 due to higher production, and MSEK 7 due to the higher average price, compared with the year-earlier quarter. Overall, the segment's net sales and EBITDA increased MSEK 10 and MSEK 7, respectively. Specific operating expense increased to SEK 98 per MWh (78). EBIT increased to MSEK 32 (26). Net financial items improved slightly and profit/loss before tax therefore increased MSEK 7 to MSEK 21 (13).
The company intends to continue using the cash flow generated by the Jädraås project to repay the project's external loans.
Electricity production during the year amounted to 287 GWh (332) due to weaker than normal winds, compared with stronger than normal winds in the year-earlier period. Average income was SEK 535 per MWh (501), of which SEK 370 per MWh (322) pertained to electricity and SEK 165 per MWh (179) to electricity certificates.
Net sales decreased MSEK 22 due to lower production, but rose MSEK 10 due to the higher average price, compared with the year-earlier period. Overall, the segment's net sales and EBITDA decreased MSEK 13 and MSEK 6, respectively. Despite lower production, specific operating expense declined to SEK 125 per MWh (128). This was mainly attributable to a provision for retroactive property tax in the year-earlier period. EBIT increased to MSEK 53 (21), including impairment losses of MSEK 0 (-39). Net financial items improved slightly and profit/loss before tax therefore increased MSEK 34 to MSEK 6 (-28).

Construction of the Mombyåsen and Ryssbol projects was completed during the quarter. Ryssbol was settled during the quarter, and the settlement of Mombyåsen is expected to take place in Q1 2017. Both projects were completed on time and on, or under, budget. The construction of Solberg is continuing to run ahead of plan.
During the quarter, Bohult was divested to a fund managed by Allianz Global Investors, which generated approximately MSEK 90 in cash flow and a slight positive earnings effect. Regarding the potential sale of Kölvallen, efforts to obtain the required permits continue. During the quarter, a four-year asset management agreement was signed with Tellenes Vindpark, 160 MW, in Norway. The farm is owned by funds managed by BlackRock.
Development and management income increased to MSEK 237 (90) and the cost of sold projects and contracts rose MSEK 153 to MSEK 203 (50). This was mainly attributable to divestment of the operational Bohult wind farm during the quarter. Other operating expenses declined compared with the preceding year, when this item was charged with restructuring costs. Capitalised work was lower year-on-year. EBITDA therefore increased MSEK 4 to MSEK 21 (17). Depreciation, amortisation and impairment amounted to MSEK -7 (0) and net financial items improved slightly. EBIT and profit before tax therefore declined to MSEK 14 (16) and MSEK 10 (12), respectively.
In addition to activities during the fourth quarter, the Brotorp project was settled during the year. The Solberg project was also divested. Income in the segment therefore rose to MSEK 450 (294), while the cost of sold projects and contracts increased MSEK 193 to MSEK 367 (174). Other operating expenses and capitalised work declined MSEK 20, including a provision of MSEK 0 (-6) and restructuring costs in 2015. EBITDA therefore declined MSEK 17 to MSEK 38 (55). Depreciation, amortisation and impairment amounted to MSEK -8 (-37) and net financial items improved slightly. EBIT and profit before tax therefore increased MSEK 12 and MSEK 14, respectively, to MSEK 30 (18) and MSEK 10 (-4), respectively.
At the end of the period, the company has an extensive project portfolio of nearly 1,000 MW in Sweden. Fully developed, this would equate to an investment level of more than SEK 10 billion. The preplanning of a 150 MW project is also underway in Scotland.
There are no other significant events to report.
No transactions with related parties took place during the period.
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.
In order to proactively develop Arise's position in the market and to strengthen its financial flexibility, the Board of Arise has decided, after authorisation by the Annual General Meeting on 3 May 2016, that the company will raise a convertible loan with a maximum nominal amount of approximately MSEK 245 through a new issue of convertibles with preferential rights for the company's existing shareholders.
Arise has completed the previously announced acquisition of Kraftö's project portfolio of up to 370 MW.
An option agreement to acquire the project Svartnäs, approx. 100 MW, was entered into.
Due to the low prices for electricity and electricity certificates, maintaining the profitability of the company's own and co-owned wind farms is challenging. Based on fundamental factors, we are cautiously optimistic about the future price trend for electricity. However, the situation surrounding the certificate system is highly uncertain at present, and this is reflected in the historically low market prices. We are following these developments carefully and will take action in the market when we believe we can create value. In regard to the ownership of our wind-power assets, we maintain an opportunistic approach and are continually evaluating different courses of action. We see good opportunities for strengthening our market position in wind farm development and management, primarily in the Swedish market.
Risks and uncertainties affecting the Group are described on pages 46- 47 of the 2015 Annual Report, and financial risk management is presented on pages 71-77. No significant changes have taken place that affect the reported risks.
A presentation of the company's ownership structure is available on the company's website (www.arise.se)
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 both 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 production to Arise at spot prices, which Arise then sells to the spot market. These intra-Group trading activities are recognised on a gross basis in the income statement.
During the year, the Parent Company's total income amounted to MSEK 409 (369), and the purchase of electricity and certificates, lease of wind power facilities, personnel and other external expenses, capitalised work on own account and depreciation of fixed assets totalled MSEK - 434 (-447), resulting in an operating loss (EBIT) of MSEK -25 (-78). A net financial expense of MSEK -96 (-364) and Group contributions of MSEK 119 (138) led to net profit/loss after tax of MSEK -12 (-304). The Parent Company's net investments amounted to MSEK 7 (-6).

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 presents the Group's financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value at the balance-sheet date.
