Halmstad, 8 November 2019
Daniel Johansson CEO
During the quarter, we continued to work on the sale of the Skaftåsen project. We are fully focused on closing the deal this year, and we are now in a very hectic phase of the sale process. We can note that there is greater interest than ever in investing in Nordic wind power. With a strong project portfolio, we believe that we are well positioned to grow profitably.
Winds were a little more favourable than normal during the period. As a result of the price hedges we have for income from electricity certificates and electricity, our income was below the market prices for electricity and above those for electricity certificates. The prices for electricity certificates remain pressed downward due to the lack of information on the design of a stop rule in the energy certificate system. The Swedish government has promised Norway that a stopping mechanism will be implemented in late 2020 or early 2021, which in practice means that a proposal must be submitted by spring 2020 at the latest. The earlier the better, from the industry's perspective.
Our initiative to extend the useful life of our farms in southern Sweden continues to progress according to plan, and shows promise. We expect to be able to share the results in the first half of next year.
We are clearly oriented on refinancing our secured bond at the end of next year, and are now investigating various opportunities for bringing about the best possible financing. The aim is to significantly reduce our financial expenses. Another important part of the plan to make our operational wind farms profitable again is to reduce the price hedging requirements for electricity production over time. With a lower debt/equity ratio, the requirements can be scaled back and we are certain this will lead to higher income over time.
Our growth aims are intact as regards project development and management, and we are continually evaluating new opportunities for supplementing our project portfolio. We are gradually developing new wind power projects to present to investors. We expect to package and sell both the Ranasjöhöjden and Salsjöhöjden projects in 2020; all together they have a few more turbines than the Skaftåsen project.

Adjusted earnings pertains to earnings from the company's underlying operations excluding the sale of the company's participation in its associate Sirocco and its effects on the Group's recognised earnings.
The quarter was characterised by slightly stronger winds than normal and lower market prices for electricity and certificates than the yearearlier period. At the same time revenue recognition in Development and management was lower as a result of no projects being sold during the quarter.
Net sales from Development and management decreased to MSEK 29 (111). This was due to lower revenue recognition, since no projects were sold during the period compared with the year-earlier period, when projects totalling 82 MW were sold. Production from Own wind power operations increased to 69 GWh (68). The average price for production fell to SEK 419 per MWh (575). This was mainly due to lower market prices compared with the year-earlier quarter. The combination of a lower average price and higher production reduced net sales from Own wind power operations to MSEK 29 (39). Overall, the Group's net sales fell MSEK 92 to MSEK 58 (150).
Operating expenses amounted to MSEK 37 (60), of which MSEK 18 (35) were attributable to project sales and contracts, and MSEK 19 (25) comprised comparable operating expenses. One of the reasons for the decline was a lower tax assessment value for wind farms, applied retroactively as of 1 January 2019. Own capitalised work amounted to MSEK 1 (0) and consolidated loss from associates, which consisted of additional consulting expenses attributable to the sale of the associate Sirocco, totalled MSEK -1 (0).

As a result of lower revenue recognition in Development and management as well as a lower average price for production, operating profit before depreciation/amortisation, excluding associates (adjusted EBITDA) fell to MSEK 22 (90) and adjusted EBIT to MSEK 3 (72). Net financial items improved slightly to MSEK -18 (-19), due primarily to lower loans. Adjusted EBT thus amounted to MSEK -15 (53). Recognised profit/loss before and after tax amounted to MSEK -16 (53) and MSEK - 16 (46) respectively.
The consolidated recognised results for the quarter were negatively impacted by MSEK -1, attributable to the sale of the associate Sirocco in Q1 2019.
IFRS16 resulted in a MSEK 1 decrease in operating expenses and increases in depreciation and financial expenses of MSEK 1 and MSEK 1 respectively for the quarter.
Development and management income decreased during the period due to lower income from project sales. Stronger winds than normal in the period resulted in a higher production of 245 GWh (210). At the same time, however, the average price for Own production decreased SEK 108 per MWh to SEK 435 per MWh (543), which meant that sales from Own production fell compared with the year-earlier period. In total, net sales decreased during the period by MSEK 47 to MSEK 206 (253).
Operating expenses amounted to MSEK 139 (110), of which MSEK 70 (37) were attributable to sales and contracts. Remaining expenses decreased to MSEK 69 (73) and consisted of personnel and other external expenses. Own capitalised work was MSEK 3 (2). Consolidated profit/loss from associates was MSEK -273 (0) as a result of the sale of the associate Sirocco in Q1 2019.
As a result of lower revenue recognition in Development and management as well as lower volumes and price mix in production, operating profit before depreciation/amortisation excluding associates (adjusted EBITDA) fell to MSEK 71 (144) and adjusted EBIT to MSEK 14 (90). Adjusted EBT declined to a lesser extent as a result of improved underlying net financial items and totalled MSEK -48 (24). This was due primarily to the impact of refinancing costs in the year-earlier period.
Recognised EBITDA and EBIT before and after amortisation and depreciation including associates declined due to the sale of the associate to MSEK -202 (144) and MSEK -259 (90) respectively. Moreover, recognised earnings before tax were also affected by a currency item, attributable to hedge accounting ending in connection with the sale. Profit/loss before tax thus amounted to MSEK -341 (24). Recognised profit/loss after tax was MSEK -333 (19), representing earnings per share of SEK -9.96 (0.57) before dilution and SEK -9.92 (0.57) after dilution.
IFRS16 resulted in a MSEK 4 decrease in operating expenses and increases in depreciation and financial expenses of MSEK 3 and MSEK 2 respectively for the period.

Operating cash flow, MSEK



Net debt, MSEK

Cash flow from operating activities before changes in working capital was MSEK 14 (88). Changes in working capital amounted to MSEK -18 (-49), driven by ongoing external projects. Total operating cash flow thus amounted to MSEK -4 (40). Net cash flow from investing activities was MSEK -3 (7). Cash flow after investments thus amounted to MSEK -8 (47). Loan repayments totalled MSEK 0 (-29) and interest of MSEK -17 (-17) was paid during the quarter. Depreciation of IFRS16 lease liabilities totalled MSEK -1 (0). No interest was received during the quarter and no net payments to or from blocked accounts took place, which is why cash flow for the quarter was MSEK -26 (0).
Cash flow from operating activities before changes in working capital was MSEK 56 (139). Changes in working capital amounted to MSEK 76 (-55), driven primarily by the receipt of part and final payments for projects sold. Accordingly, the total operating cash flow was MSEK 131 (84). Net cash flow from investing activities was MSEK -12 (-2). Cash flow after investments thus amounted to MSEK 119 (82).
The sale of the associate Sirocco was completed and cash proceeds of MSEK 193 were received through repayment of the loan to Arise from the associate. Loan repayments of MSEK -146 (-929) were also made. New loans raised amounted to MSEK 0 (825). Interest and financing costs of MSEK -49 (-72) were paid. Depreciation of IFRS16 lease liabilities totalled MSEK -1 (0). No interest was received during the period and no net payments to or from blocked accounts took place. The exercise of warrants generated cash funds of MSEK 2 for the company and cash flow for the period thereafter amounted to MSEK 118 (-94).
Net debt amounted to MSEK 691 (957), of which convertibles comprised MSEK 237 (235). Cash and cash equivalents totalled MSEK 180 (52). The company still had significant tied-up working capital in ongoing construction projects sold at the end of the quarter. The remaining cash flow from ongoing construction projects sold is expected to amount to slightly more than MSEK 50, net, during the period from the third quarter of 2019 to the first quarter of 2020, most of which is expected to be received in the first quarter of 2020. The equity/assets ratio at the end of the period was 34% (41). Under the assumption that all of the company's convertible bonds would be converted and existing cash netted against interest-bearing liabilities, the equity/assets ratio would correspond to 54%.

The construction of the Enviksberget and Bröcklingberget projects continued during the quarter, but are expected to be slightly delayed. Revenue recognition was therefore reduced during the quarter. The projects are expected to be completed around the end of the year and the first quarter of 2020, respectively. The sale process for the Skaftåsen project (approximately 230 MW) continued during the quarter and is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2019. In connection with the planned sale, certain investments were made in the project after the end of the quarter. In addition, the work on readying several projects for sale continued; the ambition is to sell the Ranasjöhöjden and Salsjöhöjden projects of at least 200 MW in 2020.
In total, Development and management income declined to MSEK 30 (112), primarily due to no projects being sold during the period while two projects of 82 MW were sold in the year-earlier period. The cost of sold projects and contracts fell to MSEK 18 (35) year-on-year. Other operating expenses increased to MSEK 8 (7) and capitalised work increased to MSEK 1 (0) compared with the preceding year. Accordingly, both EBITDA and EBIT fell to MSEK 5 (70). Net financial items remained unchanged, meaning profit before tax decreased MSEK 65 to MSEK 1 (66).
In addition to events in the third quarter, the Svartnäs project was completed and final settlement took place during the period. Furthermore, a part-payment for the Bröcklingberget project was received.
Income in the segment declined to MSEK 104 (143), while the cost of sold projects and contracts increased to MSEK 70 (37) compared with the year-earlier period. Other operating expenses increased to MSEK 24 (23) and capitalised work to MSEK 3 (2). Overall, EBITDA therefore declined to MSEK 12 (85) and EBIT to MSEK 12 (85). Net financial items improved to MSEK -12 (-13). Overall, this means that earnings before tax fell by MSEK 72 to MSEK 0 (72).

Winds were somewhat stronger than normal, which meant production at the company's wholly-owned farms increased slightly to 69 GWh (68). Average income for electricity and certificates was SEK 322 per MWh (367) and SEK 97 per MWh (209), respectively. Electricity (SE4) was 19% below, and certificates (SKM) 67% above, the market price for the period. Compared with the market price for the period, the average prices for electricity were negatively impacted by price hedges and the pricing profile of production. The average prices for certificates were positively impacted by price hedges.
Net sales rose MSEK 0 due to higher production and decreased MSEK 11 due to a lower average price compared with the preceding year. Specific operating expense decreased to SEK 135 per MWh (205), in part as a result of lower tax assessment value for property tax, retroactively applied as of 1 January 2019. EBITDA thus decreased by MSEK 6 to MSEK 20 (25) year-on-year.
EBIT decreased to MSEK 1 (7). Net financial items improved slightly to MSEK -14 (-15), after which loss before tax decreased to MSEK -13 (-8).
Production in the company's own farms increased to 245 GWh (210) due to stronger winds year-on-year. Average income from electricity and certificates decreased to SEK 337 per MWh (355) and SEK 98 per MWh (188) respectively for the period, which is 19% below and 14% above the market prices for electricity (SE4) and certificates (SKM) respectively.
Net sales rose MSEK 19 due to higher production and declined MSEK 26 due to a lower average price compared with the year-earlier period. Specific operating expense decreased to SEK 141 per MWh (185). Overall, net sales and EBITDA therefore declined MSEK 7 and MSEK 3 respectively, year-on-year.
EBIT fell to MSEK 17 (21). Net financial items improved to MSEK -49 (-55) due to refinancing costs during the year-earlier period. Overall loss before tax thus declined to MSEK -32 (-34).

At the end of the period, the company had a project portfolio of more than 1,000 MW, of which approximately 1,000 MW in Sweden and about 70 MW in an active phase in Scotland. The carrying amount totals approximately MSEK 95. Fully developed, the portfolio would equate to an investment level of more than SEK 10 billion. While individual projects may not always be realised, the overall project portfolio represents high potential value for the company, with relatively little tied-up capital and low risk.
There are no other significant events to report.
No significant 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 74 under Note 21 in the 2018 Annual Report.
No significant events occurred after the end of the period.
The market for development and management is favourable. We see opportunities to create value with relatively little capital employed. We remain optimistic regarding the trend for forward prices for electricity. The proposed stop rule (first entering into force 2030) for the electricity certificate system has pushed certificate prices to a low level. There is uncertainty regarding the final structure of the stop rule. We can state that our remaining wind farms are located in favourable areas and that there is potential for value enhancement via, for example, extending the useful life. A strong financial position means we can reduce our interest expense over time and optimise income from production for the long term. Underlying earnings are expected to increase from 2018 levels, and net debt is expected to fall substantially over the next few years.
Risks and uncertainties affecting the Group are described on pages 36– 37 of the 2018 Annual Report, and financial risk management is presented on pages 64–71. No significant changes have taken place that affect the reported risks.
A presentation of the company's ownership structure is available on the website (www.arise.se).

The Parent Company's operations comprise project development (identifying suitable wind locations, signing leasehold agreements, producing impact assessments, preparing detailed development plans and permits), divesting projects, project management of new projects, managing internal and external projects (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. Until February 2018, the electricity-generating subsidiaries sold their produced electricity to Arise at spot price, which Arise sold on to the market at spot price. These intra-Group trading activities were recognised on a gross basis in the income statement. From March 2018, the electricity-generating subsidiaries sell their produced electricity directly to counterparties in the market at spot price. During the first nine months of the year, the Parent Company's total income amounted to MSEK 124 (80), and purchases of electricity and certificates, personnel and other external expenses, capitalised work on own account and depreciation of non-current assets totalled MSEK -139 (- 100), resulting in EBIT of MSEK -15 (-19). A net financial expense of MSEK -366 (-20) led to a net loss after tax of MSEK -332 (-46). The Parent Company's net investments amounted to MSEK -12 (-11).
Arise applies the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), as adopted by the EU, and the interpretations of these (IFRIC). This interim report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The Parent Company's financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and Recommendation RFR 2 of the Swedish Financial Reporting Board. The accounting policies are consistent with those applied in the 2018 Annual Report, with the addition of IFRS16, which has been applied since 1 January 2019. The transition to IFRS16 is recognised according to the modified retrospective approach, which entails a calculation model based only on the remaining payments, the comparative year is not restated and lease contracts of less than 12 months are not taken into consideration. For remaining lease commitments, the Group recognised lease liabilities and right-of-use assets of MSEK 55 as per 1 January 2019. Leases refer to right-of-use assets for wind farms and office premises. For more information regarding the accounting policies pertaining to the new lease standard, refer to Note 1 in the 2018 Annual Report.
This report has been reviewed by the company's auditor.

We have performed a review of the interim condensed financial information (interim report) of Arise AB (publ) at 30 September 2019, and the nine-month period ending on that date. The Board of Directors and the CEO are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim financial report in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on this interim report based on our review.
We have conducted our review in accordance with the International Standard on Review Engagements ISRE 2410 Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. A review 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 the ISA, and with generally accepted auditing practices. The procedures performed in a review do not enable us to obtain a level of assurance that would make us aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Therefore, the opinion expressed on the basis of a review does not provide the same level of assurance as 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 report has not, in all material aspects, been compiled for the Group in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act, and for the Parent Company in accordance with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act.

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 64-71 of the 2018 Annual Report. The table below presents the Group's financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value at the balance-sheet date.
