Edda Wind's ambition for the future

Being the leading provider of offshore wind service vessels.

Edda Wind - 2024

The year 2024 represented significant milestones for Edda Wind, as the company grew its fleet from five to eight vessels and established a fully integrated maritime organization. This enhancement allowed for the successful assumption of vessel management in the fourth quarter of 2024, giving Edda Wind comprehensive control over its fleet operations. This increased oversight has already led to significant operational improvements, with further advantages expected in the future.

At the start of the year, we encountered substantial challenges. Nevertheless, I take great pride in how our expanding team has managed these obstacles. The knowledge gained throughout 2024 has enabled us to refine our operations and enhance our client services continuously. The initiatives undertaken and lessons learned have greatly improved our utilization and operational capabilities, and we plan to build on these insights as we move forward.

In 2025, we will continue to expand our fleet, introducing four additional newbuilds. Presently, two of these newbuilds have secured contracts upon delivery, including NB 967. This will extend our geographical reach by commencing operations in Taiwan after delivery from Vard's Vung Tau yard in Vietnam, while two vessels are still pending charter agreements.

Edda Wind has observed a consistent rise in activity levels and day rates. Approximately 83% of vessel capacity for the year 2025 is already booked, with recent contracts indicating stable market conditions. Additionally, prices for newbuilding yards for CSOVs increased in 2024, which is anticipated to help maintain market equilibrium and forecasted rates within the industry.

The development of the energy transition

The developmentof the energy transition

The world is rapidly advancing towards a pivotal moment in the global energy sector, as it shifts away from fossil fuels towards zero-carbon energy sources. The key driver behind this shift is the critical need to significantly reduce CO2 emissions related to energy production, in order to mitigate the effects of climate change. Achieving this requires immediate and decisive action on all fronts, with the Paris Agreement setting forth bold CO2 reduction targets. The global energy sector can only meet these targets by developing renewable energy sources such as offshore wind, while simultaneously leveraging new technologies to reduce the carbon footprint of the current energy value chain.

Amidst this, the global energy crisis sparked by Russia's invasion of Ukraine, causing implications for households, businesses and entire economies, promotes urgency for the build-out of renewable energy sources, thus becoming more important than ever. Energy security concerns have motivated countries to increasingly turn to renewables such as solar and wind to reduce reliance on imported fossil fuels.

The public's growing concern for sustainability and the energy transition, combined with various political initiatives supported by governments, creates a favourable environment for Edda Wind.

The Company recognises both the opportunity and the responsibility to contribute towards a cleaner, more sustainable, and energy-efficient future by actively participating in the ongoing energy transition.

Offshore wind positioned to lead the energy transition

The offshore wind market is experiencing strong growth and is expected to continue expanding rapidly over the next decade. The leading analytical environments within offshore wind estimate a continued significant growth in energy generation capacity from offshore wind turbines. This will naturally be accompanied by a sharp growth in the number of wind turbines installed and in operation.

Rystad Energy is projecting that more than 6,000 turbines will be installed globally (but excl. China and US) by 2030. This growth will take the current

number of turbines from approx. 7,300 at the end of 2024 to above 13,000 by 2030. Of the current 7,300 wind turbines globally (but excl. China and US), turbines in Europe constitutes approx. 90%, with Asia (excl. China) representing the remaining 10%. The growth trajectory (in percentage terms) is however much higher in Asia, and although Europe is expected to grow by approx. 70% on an accumulated basis from 2024 to 2030, the roll out of wind turbines in Asia is expected to grow by approx. 230%. As such, by 2030, Asia is expected constitute ~20% of the global wind turbine market.

Offshore wind – total offshore wind turbines, excl. US and China (in thousands)

Edda Wind ASA – Annual Report 2024 11 Market Overview continued

According to Rystad Energy, 52% of the expected growth of approx. 6,300 turbines that are projected to be installed by end 2030 is either in construction or approved1.. As such, one can argue that a large portion of the expected growth can be categorised as firmer than the remaining part.

Looking into the growth projections for 2025-2027, the percentage part of the projected growth that is either under construction or approved is 87%, and derisk the short-term growth projections.

As can be seen on the following page, a large part of the growth projections (in number of turbines) are related to countries such as UK, Germany, Netherlands and Poland, countries in or in close proximity to Edda Wind's current core markets. Further, during 2025, Edda Wind expects to enter the Asian offshore wind market through commencement of operation in Taiwan. Through this entry, combined with vessels deliveries from Vietnam, Edda Wind expects to be well positioned to capitalise on the projected growth from the Asian market. As can be seen, Taiwan, South Korea and Vietnam constitute approx. 22% of the projected growth until 2030.

The US offshore wind market is currently facing challenges due to potential impacts from the re-emergence of the Trump administration, which may affect leasing and solicitation rounds for offshore wind. However, for Edda Wind, which has no operations in the US and no intention to enter the US market, the uncertainty related to the US offshore wind market has limited impact.

Report Strategic Board

Statements Financial

The substantial growth in offshore wind turbines is a key catalyst for the growing demand projected for vessels, which will be required both during the construction and installation phase and for operation and maintenance throughout the wind farms' lifespan.

Both water depth and distance to shore for offshore wind farms have increased significantly in the past decade. This has led to more complex operations for servicing the turbines and added additional demand.

Lead times of 2-3 years in construction of a C/SOV means that supply and demand can be estimated relatively accurately for the next few years.

During 2024, approx. 20 C/SOVs were ordered, with delivery by 2028. Despite several new vessels that will enter the market, leading analytical environments project that a favourable supply-demand balance outlook will prevail as vessel owners are expected to remain disciplined. Newbuilding prices have also seen a sharp increase over the past year which is expected to protect market rates and market balance going forward.

Subsea tonnage which has previously been operating in the offshore wind industry is continuing to operate in the oil & gas markets, as demand and day rates achieved in these markets remain high. In addition, with the current market sentiment in oil & gas, specialised Tier 1 offshore wind tonnage has also emerged into oil & gas operation, reducing the fleet designated for offshore wind operation.

A strong market outlook is normally accompanied by increasing rates. Over the last few years this has been observed in the C/SOV market, particularly in the shorter-term commissioning market.

Long-term SOV O&M contracts are linked to newbuilding cost at the time of tendering. Shipyard capacity is currently limited due to strong demand from several shipping sectors.

There is also only a limited number of yards capable of, and experienced with, building C/SOVs, further limiting access to building slots. As a consequence, yard prices have increased over the last few years.

This naturally provides a competitive advantage for owners like Edda Wind, who have acted promptly, and are now in a position where the Company has vessels already ordered and under construction. In order to capitalise on the highly favourable market for short- and medium-term contracts in the commissioning sector, possessing a substantial fleet is of paramount importance. Developers and Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) seldom have the opportunity to secure vessels on long- term contracts in this market. This is primarily due to their development programmes typically comprising multiple projects commissioned either concurrently or with intermittent gaps.

The versatility provided by a larger fleet, especially those vessels designed to service the commissioning market, is thus an indispensable asset for vessel owners. This adaptability facilitates the maximisation of fleet utilisation by allocating vessels to projects based on their availability. Equally significant, it ensures the provision of vessel(s) to clients based on their requirements, subject to agreed notice periods, provided that commitments for work access are reciprocated by the client. For Edda Wind, being the largest operator in the C/SOV market, the capacity to establish framework agreements or similar arrangements will undoubtedly confer a decisive competitive edge in the future.

Renewable energy at the centre of the strategy

The Group's strategic orientation is centred on the offshore wind industry. Acknowledged as essential to creating enduring value for shareholders, sustainability constitutes an opportunity for innovation, heightened efficiency, and serves as the bedrock for sustained growth.

The business model and strategy are supported by the capital, experience and network, and competence of the Group's major shareholders as well as its dedicated management and organisation . The Group is already well positioned within the industry with a diversified contract portfolio with leading clients, including Ørsted, Ocean Breeze, Vestas, Siemens Gamesa, SSE Renewables and NNG , as well as having future -ready assets prepared for new zero -emission operations creating a solid platform for further growth and development. Global environmental concerns have led to significant investments in decarbonisation .

The decarbonisation through electrification is expected to continue, which will further support positive development for offshore wind. While this supports the Group's business model, strategy and prospects, future development will also be influenced by licensing and development of new offshore wind farms, access to capital and competent sea and shore personnel as well as being able to offer cost efficient services to clients while meeting future emission standards.

The Group also sees opportunities withing the broader maritime operation space where it can leverage its experience and provide cost - and fuel -efficient maritime operations.

Our ambitions

We fully endorse the Green Deal's objective of achieving zero emissions by 2050 and are actively engaged in contributing to the production of renewable energy. Furthermore, we are diligently working to minimise our own environmental footprint as an integral part of the offshore wind value chain.

In 2024, we have implemented our Environmental Policy, setting our commitment to environmental issues.

To deliver enhanced value to our customers while minimising our environmental footprint, we collaborate with them to optimise our vessels and explore development of alternative fuels, including hydrogen. Employing cutting-edge technology, we integrate battery-hybrid solutions, and our newbuildings are designed to facilitate hydrogenbased operations, fit for zero-emissions. Our latest newbuildings are also prepared for zero-emission through methanol fuel sources.

Our ambition is to:

1. Offer zeroemissionon our vessels by 2030

2. Be carbon-neutralby 2040

Investing in sustainable solutions

Edda Wind's ongoing newbuilding programme will bring the fleet to a total of 121 purpose-built offshore wind vessels by 2026. With this, Edda Wind's fleet will consist of next-generation offshore service vessels.

Implemented energy-saving equipment

Each vessel under construction is designed to have a low environmental footprint without compromising its operational capabilities. The vessels are designed with systems to increase energy efficiency and decrease overall energy consumption.

The vessels are equipped with battery hybrid propulsion systems that enable us to reduce the number of diesel generators in operation since the batteries can be considered as a spinning reserve in critical situations. It also enables us to reduce the size and number of generator sets, which will simplify maintenance, reduce vessel weight and reduce fuel consumption. In addition, the ventilation systems on board are set up to utilise the residual heat from the engines' cooling water systems, rather than from the diesel generators. The energy-saving equipment implemented will give the newbuildings a minimum of 30% reduction in GHG emissions compared to first-generation offshore wind service vessels.

Preparedfor zero-emission

All of Edda Wind's newbuildings are prepared for zero-emission operations without compromising operational capabilities. The vessels are prepared to take on board the liquid organic hydrogen carriers (LOHC) concept with the potential for zero-emission operations. Edda Wind has received NOK 141 million in grants from Enova during 2021- 2024 related to the LOHC setup and battery hybrid propulsion systems.

Edda Wind has entered into a letter of intent for using the LOHC technology with Hydrogenious LOHC Maritime AS ("Hydrogenious LOHC"). Hydrogenious LOHC has developed and patented the LOHC technology for particularly safe, easy and efficient storage and transportation of hydrogen, which will revolutionise the supply chain for hydrogen. The unique feature is that hydrogen is chemically bonded to the low-toxicity, non-explosive and low-cost carrier oil, which can be used to store and transport large quantities of hydrogen under ambient conditions, using the already existing fossil fuel infrastructure. The carrier oil Hydrogenious LOHC uses – benzyltoluene – can be loaded and unloaded with hydrogen over the lifetime of the vessel. Edda Wind's target is to be able to offer this zero-emission solution to clients by the end of this decade.

Preparing for CSRD

With the current Omnibus proposal in the EU, Edda Wind will not be subject to CSRD reporting requirements as of 2025. Prior to the Omnibus proposal being released, Edda Wind started a double materiality assessment in accordance with CSRD and will utilize this to strengthen the ESG reporting going forward.

GHG emissions

Edda Winds main source of GHG emission is the consumption of fossil fuel by our vessels. We actively work to minimise our impact and have implemented several solutions to reduce emissions.

The Edda Wind fleet is operated with variable speed generators and equipped with additional power-saving measures. These include heatrecovery systems that utilise residual heat from the engines' cooling water systems to substitute electrical warming, as well as frequency-controlled propellers, pumps and fans. The implemented measures have the capacity to significantly reduce fuel consumption and CO2 emissions by up to 30%.

A Ship Energy Efficiency Management Plan (SEEMP) is implemented on all operated vessels, describing initiatives and measurable goals to increase energy efficiency. The SEEMP also clarifies roles and responsibilities on board, thereby increasing awareness among crew members. To further reduce CO2 emissions, the vessels are delivered with recommended eco speed during transit. The eco speed is calculated to be the speed level giving the best energy efficiency during transit. In addition, the ship propellers are frequently polished, and the ship hulls are regularly cleaned to reduce water resistance.

Frontrunners during 2024 has not been included in scope 1 as these have not operated under Edda Winds control. The operational days of frontrunners have not been included in total vessel days.

Scope 2 and 3

Scope 2 is significantly reduced from 2023 to 2024, mainly due to reduced consumption of shore-based power. The Group had two newbuilds on yard stay in Denmark in 2023, utilizing shore-based power during their stay.

Pollution

Edda Wind operates within the marine environment. We acknowledge that our activities may have negative impacts on air, soil and water, and work on measures to reduce such impacts.

Air pollution

Apart from GHG emissions, we impact the air through exhaust emissions from the main engines of our vessels, mainly nitrogen oxide (NOx) and sulfur oxide (SOx ) emissions. We actively limit our impact through the implementation of solutions such as a selective catalyst reactor (SCR). The SCR system reducesthe level of NOx in the exhaust gas from the engine by means of catalyst elements and a reducing agent (urea). The SCR system can reduce levels of NOx emissions by as much as 90%. Customers are encouraged to utilise the SCR system and to use low -sulfur marine gas oil to reduce SOx emissions. Our vessels also operate under the SEEMP to reduce fuel consumption and thereby also reducing exhaust emissions to the air.

Waste management

On board waste management of the Edda Wind fleet complies with the Convention for Prevention of Marine Pollution (MARPOL). All waste is handled in accordance with the Garbage Management Procedure, whereby all waste is categorised into categories as defined in the amendments to MARPOL annex V and disposed of in accordance with the requirements for each category. During 202 4 , Edda Wind generated 66.5 tonnes of waste, calculated in accordance with Marpol Annex V.

Oil spill prevention

Edda Wind follows the International Convention on Oil Pollution Preparedness, Response and Co -operation. Our ambition is to comply with all regulations regarding marine pollution and have zero spills of hazardous materials into the environment. All vessels are equipped with oil pollution prevention equipment such as booms and sorbents. Shipboard areas where spillage is most common are protected so that the residues are easily recovered. Each vessel has an Emergency Preparedness Manual which also covers emergency procedures in case of spills. All spills are reported to management, and cause and corrective actions are followed up. Edda Wind has not had any spills in 2024 or 2023.

Biodiversity and ecosystems

Edda Wind complies with the regulations in the Ballast Water Management Convention and CLEAN class notation. Bilge water discharged to the environment complies with MARPOL

requirements.

Ship recycling

Edda Wind has not performed any ship recycling during the period. Edda Wind's fleet consists of new vessels with a long remaining economic lifetime, and as such Edda Wind does not expect to perform any ship recycling in the near or mid -future. However, Edda Wind recognises that ship recycling must be performed in accordance with strict standards to mitigate any adverse effects on the environment, personnel health, and safety. As such, Edda Wind will in due course comply with applicable regulations for future ship recycling.

Operational safety on board The crew on board our vessels were hired in through our ship manager, Østensjø Rederi until Edda Wind took over vessel management in end of 2024. A crucial part of becoming a stand-alone company and managing our own vessels is to implement our own internal management system and obtain a document of compliance and ISO certifications. Edda Wind has worked continuously with this during the year and received a Document of Compliance from DNV in February 2025. ISO certifications are in progress and planned to be completed in 2025.

Edda Wind works on a regular basis to minimise the risk of personal injuries, and environmental and property damage. Risk assessments are performed regularly on shore and on board the vessels. A risk assessment shall be in place in advance of any operation to ensure that the operation can be safely executed. Hazards shall be identified and analyzed in the assessment, resulting in corresponding mitigating control measures. This creates awareness among our personnel and underpins the safety culture within Edda Wind. The crew also have the right to remove themselves from any situation that does not feel sale, potentially causing injuries, ill-health or other incidents through a "Stop the Job" policy. All personnel shall have knowledge of this policy when onboarding a vessel.

All crew members must complete a familiarisation checklist as part of their introduction to the vessel. This is a comprehensive checklist that includes a review of both general and vessel-specific topics, such as relevant HSEQ policies, use of equipment, assessment of risks and hazards, and reporting routines. There are also position-specific checklists to cover aspects that are important for key positions on board.

All personnel on board undergo a health examination by a certified medical examiner before commencing work on board our vessels. All vessels are equipped with exercise equipment on board for the crew's disposal. In addition, there are procedures in place to ensure prompt access to medical care and treatment whether on board a vessel or ashore.

All incidents, resulting in i.e. personnel injuries, ill-health, technical damages and -breakdowns, and environmental spills shall be reported. Other types of reports also include Non-Conformities, Near Misses, Suggestions for Improvements and Safety Observations. The focus when following up these reports, is to analyze, learning from the incidents and implement actions to not only correct the situations, but also prevent future potential incidents in the future. With the exception of Safety Observations, which are followed-up solely on board, all reports are administered and reviewed by the HSEQ Department, which delegates to a Responsible Person, either office personnel, or management on board. The Responsible Person is in charge of follow-up and ensuring efficient implementation of corrective actions.

  • The Group monitors and reports lost time incident frequency (LTIF), total recordable case frequency (TRCF), restricted work case frequency, medical treatment injuries, and sick leave. This is reported monthly to management. LTIF1 was 0.63 and TRCF2 was 2.52 as at 31 December 2024. Both LTI's registered in 2024 were injuries to foot/ancle in the Galley. Corrective and preventive actions were implemented in both cases. Further measures are planned to reduce risk of new potential incidents in the Galley.
    • 1) LTIF is calculated as total lost time incidents x 1,000,000 / number of exposure hours. As established standard, exposure hours is set to 24 hours per day per person.
    • 2) TRCF is calculated as total recordable incidents x 1,000,000 / number of exposure hours. As established standard, exposure hours is set to 24 hours per day per person.

Equity, diversity and inclusion in the workforce

Edda Wind strives to create a culture where people are treated equally regardless of nationality, gender or other factors.

In February 2024, we implemented our Human Rights Policy, establishing our commitments to nondiscrimination, equal opportunities and respect for human rights and labour standards.

Edda Wind seeks to promote a diverse workforce and to ensure non-discriminating recruitment processes, as per HR policies

Investing in human capital

The skills and competencies of the people working for us are crucial to our performance and our ability to live up to our vision. In 2023 a strategic decision was made to establish an independent entity, enabling us to perform project, technical and corporate management ourselves. During 2023 and 2024, Edda Wind has upscaled its onshore organisation from 19 employees to 33 employees. Edda Wind has also built its offshore organization by employing 26 Norwegian Officers.

Building a new organisation is a rigorous and time-consuming process. However, we has used this opportunity to redefine our operational methodologies and cultivate an efficient and proficient organisational culture. Through the incorporation of industry best practices and the integration of innovative approaches, our objective is to craft a workplace culture that not only aligns with current demands but also serves as the bedrock for long-term success.

Establishing the Edda Wind way of working

An important part of becoming a stand-alone organisation is to establish clear guidelines and commitments. New policies implemented during 2024 include an Anti-Corruption Policy, Trade and Sanctions Policy and Whistleblowing Policy. Further, we will start implementation of a formal whistleblower channel in 2025.

In 2024 we released Edda Wind Code of Conduct, setting our expectations, commitments and requirements for ethical conduct from our employees and Board members, and also extending to all persons working on board the Edda Wind vessels. We have also implemented a Supplier Code of Conduct, setting expectations for ethical conduct by our suppliers.

Business ethics and anti-corruption

The Group has a zero-tolerance policy regarding corruption and bribery. We conduct our business in compliance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations on anti-bribery, anti-corruption and antimoney laundering.

No incidents of non-compliance with such laws and regulations have been noted in 2024. Edda Wind has not conducted any business in countries with a high risk of corruption, according to Transparency International's Corruption Perception Index. It is important that someone who discovers wrongdoing and non-compliance with policies or applicable law is able to report it without risk of retaliation or discrimination. No whistles have been reported in 2024.

Supply chain management

Our goal is to influence our entire value chain toward sustainable maritime trade. For the past years, supply chain management has been performed by our external ship manager. However, as Edda Wind took over ship management in late 2024, we also started working on a bridging of procedures and plan to perform audits and review of the supplier register during a set time frame.

We have also implemented our Supplier Code of Conduct and a Supplier Evaluation Questionnaire used to assess new suppliers.

Edda Wind is committed to respecting and securing human rights and business ethics through the supply chain. Our Transparency act is published on the Group's webpage, www.eddawind.com.

Cyber security

Our objective is to minimise cyber security risk and to secure employees' active contribution to a risk prevention culture. We work closely with our IT and Cyber Security supplier, each ships crew, and employees onshore to build and enforce strong cyber protection. We have conducted a vulnerability assessment of all internet-facing resources and put in place internal guidelines for secure application development.

We will continue to develop the maturity of our systems to strengthen our defence and to keep up with regulatory updates. We have implemented our own Data Protection Policy and GDPR practices have been established.

Edda Wind ASA – Annual Report 2024

Board of Directors' Report

Edda Wind ASA ("Edda Wind" or the "Group") is a provider of offshore wind service vessels, headquartered in Haugesund. The Group develops, builds, owns, operates, and charters out purpose-built service operation vessels (SOVs) and commissioning service operation vessels (CSOVs) for offshore wind farms and maritime operations worldwide.

The Group has operated three SOVs and five CSOVs during 2024. The Group also has five dedicated offshore wind vessels under construction, all of which are CSOVs.

Edda Wind has a long-standing track record in maritime operations. The ambition of the Group is to be the leading provider of offshore wind service vessels. Following delivery of vessels under construction, Edda Wind will have the largest fleet of purpose-built offshore wind C/SOVs in the world. The Group's ambition is to secure a share of long-term contracts to ensure cash flows, while also having exposure in the short-term spot market.

Market development and outlook

The offshore wind market is experiencing strong growth and is expected to continue expanding rapidly over the next decade. The leading analytical environments within offshore wind estimate a continued significant growth in energy generation capacity from offshore wind turbines. This will naturally be accompanied by a sharp growth in the number of wind turbines installed and in operation.

Rystad Energy is projecting that more than 6,000 turbines will be installed globally (excl. China and US) by 2030. This growth will take the current number of turbines from approx. 7,300 at the end of 2024 to above 13,000 by 2030. The substantial growth in offshore wind turbines is a key catalyst for the growing demand projected for vessels, which will be required both during the construction and installation phase and for operation and maintenance throughout the wind farms' lifespan. Additionally, with high activity within the oil & gas market, emergence of vessels from the wind industry into maritime operations within oil & gas provides further and additional opportunities for vessel owners. Further market information can be found in our Strategic Report.

Edda Wind emphasises that the information included in this Annual Report contains certain forward-looking statements that address activities or developments that the Group anticipates will or may occur in the future. The statements are based

on assumptions and estimates, and some of them are beyond the Group's control and therefore subject to risks and uncertainties.

Consolidated annual accounts

The Group's financial statements for 2024 are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), as endorsed by the EU.

Income statement

Total operating income for the year ended 31 December 2024 was EUR 70,426 thousand compared to EUR 39,368 thousand for the year ended 31 December 2023. The increase is mainly due to increased operational days. During the first quarter of 2024, three of the Groups vessels experienced technical challenges and was temporarily taken out of operation, resulting in offhire and loss of operational income. The performance of the vessels has been strong following the upgrades.

Total operating expenses before depreciation for the year ended 31 December 2024 were EUR 51,311 thousand compared to EUR 32,348 thousand for the year ended 31 December 2023. The increase is mainly related to the commenced operation of new vessels during the year as well as increased frontrunner cost during 2024, amounting to EUR 9,837 thousand This is related to technical issues on Brint Enabler and delay of Goelo Enabler. By comparison 2023 frontrunner cost was EUR 6,734 thousand.

Depreciation was EUR 12,301 thousand for the year ended December 2024 compared to EUR 7,210 thousand for the year ended December 2023.

Depreciation increased due to new vessels commencing operation in 2024. Edda Wind generated an operating profit of EUR 6,814 thousand for the year ended 31 December 2024, compared to an operating loss of EUR 190 thousand for the year ended 31 December 2023. Net financial expense for the year ended 31 December 2024 was EUR 3,039 thousand compared to a net financial profit of EUR 1,177 thousand for the year ended 31 December 2023. The decrease in net financial expense is mainly due an adjustment of capitalized interest on newbuilds under construction in accordance with IAS 23, offset by an impairment of a loan of EUR 1,8 million.

Total comprehensive income for the year ended 31 December 2024 was EUR 6,234 thousand compared to EUR 1,026 thousand for the year ended 31 December 2023. The change is mainly due to the above-mentioned factors, as well as currency translation difference. Currency translation difference reflects the effects of currency fluctuations when revaluing subsidiaries with functional currency in GBP or NOK to EUR.

The Group did not have any R&D activities during 2024 or 2023.

Statement of financial position

The Group's material assets at year end 2024 consist of eight purpose-built offshore C/SOVs in operation and five dedicated offshore wind vessels under construction.

Total non-current assets as at 31 December 2024 were EUR 648,229 thousand, of which book value of vessels and newbuildings amounted to EUR 641,124 thousand, up from EUR 515,516 thousand the previous year. The increase is mainly due to payment of pre-delivery yard instalments for the Groups newbuildings. The Group has received EUR 3,050 thousand in grants from ENOVA during 2024 (EUR 2,062 thousand in 2023), booked as a reduction of newbuilding cost price.

In 2022-2023, The Group incurred EUR 7,062 thousand in liquidated damages related to delayed delivery of Breeze Enabler and Brint Enabler to clients. The amount is capitalised as other noncurrent assets and recognised in the profit and loss (P&L) on a straight- line basis over the contract period from the date the vessels were delivered to the clients. As at 31 December 2024, a total of EUR 555 thousand has been recognised in the P&L.

The Group has written down a long-term loan of EUR 1,8 million during the year.

Total current assets as at 31 December 2024 was EUR 55,060 thousand compared to EUR 57,766 thousand as at 31 December 2023. Cash and cash equivalents were EUR 33,369 at 31 December 2024, up from EUR 32,918 last year. Cash increased due to the sale of Edda Passat in March 2024 and a private placement of EUR 34 million in June 2024, offset by payment of pre-delivery yard instalments and repayment of post-delivery financing during the year.

In 2023, Edda Wind acquired legal title to C-416 and entered into a pre-financing of EUR 11 million. The pre-financing has been used to cover expenses on behalf of the yard until the vessel was completed. Upon completion in March 2024, the total tax lease benefit of EUR 14 million was paid to Edda Wind and used to repay the pre-financing loan.

Total liabilities were EUR 373,010 thousand at the end of 2024, up from EUR 297,376 thousand the previous year. Net interest-bearing debt has increased from EUR 284,830 thousand to EUR 357,801 thousand mainly due to drawdown on the pre-delivery financing facilities for the newbuildings.

At year end 2024, total equity for the Group was EUR 330,280 thousand. The equity has increased from EUR 289,737 thousand from the previous year. The increase is mainly due to proceeds from the private placement performed in June 2024 and the profits for the year. Equity ratio decreased from 48.9% in 2023 to 47.0% in 2024. Equity from 2023 has been restated due to an adjustment of capitalized borrowing cost in accordance with IAS 23.

Statement of cash flow

Net cash flow from operating activities for 2024 was EUR 18,796 thousand compared to a negative cash flow of EUR 13,100 thousand for 2023. Net working capital is reduced due to the delivery of Goelo Enabler and the settlement of the pre-financing arrangement related to the vessel.

Net cash flow from investment activities was negative EUR 122,427 thousand in 2024 compared to EUR 231,294 in 2023. The outflow of cash related to investment activities is reduced due to several construction projects being completed during the year. In addition, the sale of Edda Passat has had a positive effect of EUR 40 million on investment activities.

Net cash flow from financing activities was EUR 104,048 thousand in 2024 (EUR 232,724 thousand in 2023). The Group has drawn down in total EUR 122,950 thousand during the year on pre-delivery facilities and repaid EUR 52,877 thousand on post-delivery facilities. The Group has also received EUR 34,305 thousand in proceed from the private placement performed in June 2024.

Financial results and financial position – parent company

Edda Wind ASA serves as parent company of the Group. In 2024, the Company reported a profit after tax of EUR 25,597 thousand, compared to EUR 4,786 thousand in 2023. Operating expenses for 2024 were EUR 945 thousand, a decrease from EUR 1,461 thousand in 2023. Net financial income was EUR 29,060 thousand in 2024 compared to EUR 8,369 thousand in 2023. The increase is primarily due to a received dividend in 2024, in addition to interest on loans to subsidiaries and group contributions received.

The Company's total assets were EUR 387,122 thousand at year end 2024 compared to EUR 311,384 thousand at year end 2023. Total assets mainly comprise of shares in subsidiaries, as well as short-term receivables from group companies and cash. Cash balance at year end 2024 was EUR 8,246 thousand, up from EUR 6,351 thousand the year before. The increase is primarily explained by a private placement performed in 2024 and received dividend less payment of yard instalments on behalf of subsidiaries.

Edda Wind ASA – Annual Report 2024

Operational risk

Edda Wind is exposed to the risk of cost increases, including cost of vessel construction, operating cost and maintenance cost, as well as risk related to utilisation of the vessels. If any of the Group's vessels are taken out of operation, this could materially impact the Group's business, prospects and financial results including its ability to be compliant with the financial covenants pursuant to its financing arrangements. Long-term charter agreements include escalation clauses. Construction and acquisition of new vessels is an important element of the Group's growth strategy. The acquisition, construction, supervision and delivery of new vessels are subject to several risks, including the risk of potential cost overruns and delays, risk of new vessels not meeting quality and performance standards and unexpected operational problems, political unrest and other circumstances including macroeconomic factors, financial problems at yards and key suppliers. The newbuilding contracts are based on fixed price agreements with the yards.

Commercial risk

The Group's earnings and liquidity is dependent on the Group's ability to obtain profitable rates for its vessels. The demand for the Group's services may be volatile and is subject to variations for several reasons, including competition from other service providers and uncertainty in the general demand in the industry. The demand for the Group's vessels is dependent on the future development and operation of offshore wind farms. Whilst Edda Wind has an ambition to further expand its portfolio of contracts, the process for obtaining new customer agreements is competitive and generally involves intensive screening and competitive bidding processes.

Liquidity and financial risk

Liquidity risk is related to the risk that the Group may not be able to meet its financial and operational obligations as they fall due. The Group's approach to managing liquidity is to manage cash flows from operation of long-term charter contracts, and the liquidity situation is monitored and projected via liquidity budgets prepared by management on a regular basis. The Group's liquidity situation is considered satisfactory at the date of the Annual Report. However, the Group is continously exploring alternatives to strengthen its balance sheet.

The Group has secured long-term financing on all of its vessels in operation and under construction. Edda Wind's loan agreements contain financial covenants relating to minimum liquidity, working capital, equity ratio, debt service coverage and loan to value. The Group was in compliance with all covenants at yearend. The repayment profile under the Group's existing financing agreements includes obligations for the Group to repay large parts of the principal loan balance at the final scheduled repayment date, close to or at final maturity of the loan. Consequently, the Group will need to refinance such debts prior to final maturity. Edda Wind's overall policy is to maintain a strong capital base to maintain investor, creditor and marked confidence and to sustain operations and future business developments.

Foreign exchange risk

The Group's reporting currency is Euro. A significant portion of the Group's operating expenses, capital expenses and certain of its current and future revenues is and will likely be incurred in other currencies, such as NOK, GBP and USD. As a result, the Group is exposed to the risks that such other currencies, including NOK, GBP and USD, may appreciate or depreciate relative to the EUR. The Group has established hedging strategies to monitor and mitigate risks on material exposures.

Interest risk

The Group has incurred, and may in the future incur, significant amounts of debt. The Group has a floating interest under certain of its debt arrangements and is thereby exposed to interest rate risk.

Tax risk

Nine1 of the Group's vessels in operation or under construction are subject to certain Spanish tax lease structures. Whilst the Spanish tax lease structures enable the Group to acquire the newbuilds at a discounted net price, the structure involves certain risks including counterparty risk and regulatory risk for the Group. Under such Spanish tax lease structures, Edda Wind assumes certain obligations and liabilities which would not exist if the vessels were acquired under the standalone shipbuilding contract. The tax lease structure is also dependent on compliance of the various requirements and obligations under the arrangement, the failure of which may entail Edda Wind being obliged to repay certain tax lease advantages.

Credit risk

The Group has credit risk related to charter contracts. The customers are considered solid, and the risk of customers not having the financial capability to fulfil their obligations to the Group is considered acceptable.

Sustainability in Edda Wind's operations

Sustainability is a strategic objective for Edda Wind and considered key to its ability to create long- term value for its shareholders. Please refer to our sustainability reporting on page 16.

The growing environmental awareness and requirement for green and renewable energy is the basis for the business strategy, and operations of Edda Wind's fleet is part of the solution. The operation of the Group's vessels nevertheless impacts the environment. Edda Wind has systems in place for continuous measurement of emissions to the environment and Edda Wind is taking measures to reduce its impact. The newbuildings are equipped with battery hybrid propulsion systems, which, together with other energy saving equipment, is expected to reduce GHG emissions by a minimum of 30% compared to previous generation offshore wind service vessels. The newbuilds are also being prepared for installation of zero-emission hydrogen technology to enable zero-emission operations.

The safety of personnel on board the vessels is paramount to Edda Wind's operations. The Group monitors and reports LTIF and TRCF on a monthly basis, which is followed up based on established targets, trends and/or individual cases. LTIF was 0.63 in 2024, while TRCF was 2.52. A high incident frequency is not something Edda Wind considers acceptable. We will in 2025 work actively to improve our procedures and communication to strengthen the safety culture that we need to operate safely.

Subsequent events

In March 2025, Edda Wind, through its subsidiary West Energy AS, entered into a sale and purchase agreement regarding the sale of all outstanding shares in Puerto de Llafranc S.L., the registered owner of Mistral Enabler. The transaction was completed in April 2025.

The rationale for the sale was to optimise the Group's fleet strategy, including alignment of vessel design. The proceeds from the sale will be used for general corporate purposes, including the repayment of outstanding debt related to Mistral Enabler and will further strengthen the Company's liquidity position and balance sheet.

Going concern

The consolidated financial statements and parent financial statements have been prepared based on an assumption of going concern. This is based on the Group's budgets for 2025, as well as cash flow forecast and contract status for newbuildings.

Responsibility statement

We hereby confirm that, to the best of our knowledge, the annual accounts for the period 1 January 2024 to 31 December 2024 have been prepared in accordance with applicable accounting standards; and that the information in the accounts represents a true and fair view of the Group and parent company's assets, liabilities, financial position, and overall performance. We further confirm that the Annual Report provides a true and fair view of the development, earnings and standings of the Group and parent company, and sets out the most important risk factors and uncertainties facing the Group.

Edda Wind ASA has adopted the Norwegian Code of Practice for Corporate Governance of 14 October 2021 (the "Corporate Governance Code").

The Corporate Governance Code is based on the principle of "explain or comply", which means that a company must comply with the recommendations of the Corporate Governance Code or explain why it has chosen an alternative approach to specific recommendations.

Business

Edda Wind ASA's objective as set out in its Articles of Association is to directly or indirectly, own and conduct business within the offshore renewable segment including, but not limited to, ownership and management of specialised vessels, various auxiliary services, as well as participation and ownership in other companies. The Company's Articles of Association are available on the Company's webpage, www.eddawind.com.

The Company's principal objectives, strategies and risk profile are presented in the Annual Report.

Equality and dividends

The Edda Wind Group's objectives when managing capital are to secure financial ability to execute the Group's operational strategy, manage operational and financial risks, deliver attractive returns to the shareholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital including compliance with covenants in the loan agreements and to meet obligation as they fall due. For newbuilds with longer-term contracts, the Company targets to have a financial leverage in range of 75-85% of newbuild cost. For vessels without contract, the Company seeks to secure financing of 50-60% of newbuild cost.

The Board of Directors will in the ordinary course of business of the Company have authorisation to increase the share capital of the Company and to repurchase the Company's own shares.

Equal treatment of shareholders and transactions with related parties

Any transactions in own shares shall be carried out through the Oslo Stock Exchange.

The Board of Directors aims to ensure that any material future transactions between the Company and shareholders, a shareholder's parent company, members of the Board of Directors, executive personnel, or close associates of any such parties are entered into on arm's length terms. For any such transactions which do not require approval by the general meeting pursuant to the Norwegian Public Limited Liability Companies Act, the Board of Directors will on a case-by-case basis assess whether a fairness opinion from an independent third party should be obtained.

According to the Norwegian Public Limited Liability Companies Act, the Company's shareholders have pre-emption rights in share offerings against cash contribution. Such pre-emption rights may, however, be set aside, either by the general meeting or by the Board of Directors if the general meeting has granted the Board authorisation which allows for this. Any resolution to set aside pre-emption rights will be justified by the common interests of the Company and the shareholders, and such justification will be publicly disclosed through a stock exchange notice from the Company.

In the event of a future share buy-back programme, the Board of Directors will aim to ensure that all transactions pursuant to such programme will be carried out either through the trading system at Oslo Børs or at prevailing prices at Oslo Børs and in accordance with the Market Abuse Regulation. In the event of such programme, the Board of Directors will take the Company's and shareholders' interests into consideration and aim to maintain transparency and equal treatment of all shareholders.

The Chair of the Board of Directors should be elected by the general meeting. The term of office for members of the Board of Directors should not be longer than two years at a time. The Annual Report should provide information to illustrate the expertise of the members of the Board of Directors, and information on their record of attendance at Board meetings. In addition, the Annual Report should identify which members are independent.

The Company's Board of Directors currently consists of five members, of which three are men and two are women. None of the members of the Board hold executive management positions in the Company. Two of the members of the Board are independent of the Company's main shareholders. The Chair of the Board of Directors together with one Director jointly have the right to sign for and on behalf of the Company. The Board of Directors may grant procuration.

There are no defence mechanisms against takeover bids in the Company's Articles of Association, nor have other measures been implemented to specifically hinder acquisitions of shares in the Company. The Board of Directors has not established written guiding principles for how it will act in the event of a takeover bid, as such situations are normally characterised by concrete and one-off situations which make guidelines challenging to prepare.

Auditor

The remuneration to the auditor for statutory audit will be approved by the ordinary general meeting. The Board of Directors should report to the general meeting on details of fees for audit work and any fees for other specific assignments.

The board of directors shall ensure that the auditor submits the main features of the plan for the audit of the company to the audit committee annually.

Haugesund, 23 April 2025 On behalf of the Board of Directors

Edda Wind ASA – Annual Report 2024

Senior executives

As of 31 December 2024, the Group management team included:

  • Kenneth Walland, CEO
  • Hermann H. Øverlie, CFO
  • Jan Lodden, COO
  • Håkon Vevang, CCO
  • Nina Marie Wathne, CHRO
  • Ellen Sofie Ottesen, CTO

Compliance with the remuneration guidelines

The first remuneration guidelines of the Group were presented and adopted at the Annual General Meeting on 6 May 2022. The guidelines were developed to ensure the Group's remuneration of senior executives complies with relevant regulatory requirements, is aligned with the Group's values, people policy and performance-based remuneration philosophy, and is easy to understand and be assessed by the Group's various stakeholders.

The below list of principles guide remuneration:

  • The remuneration of senior executives is designed to retain and attract the right employees with the skills and expertise necessary to deliver on the Group's short- and long-term ambitions, including both financial and non-financial targets.
  • The compensation should be competitive, but not market leading, in the relevant labour market(s).
  • The compensation should be fair, reflect the complexity and responsibility for each position as well as the performance of the individual.
  • Compensation should reflect the Group's overall performance and financial results.
  • Remuneration should be aligned with and strengthen the common interest of Edda Wind's senior executives and the Group's shareholders.
  • The guidelines, including the objective of each element of the remuneration, award levels and performance criteria should be clear, transparent and give a comprehensive overview of how the Group compensates senior executives and how the different elements are believed to contribute to realising the Group's strategic ambitions, long-term interests and profitability.

Key business events in 2024

During 2024, Edda Wind has upscaled its organization from 20 to 33 employees in preparation for the transition of vessel and corporate management. Vessel management takeover was completed during the last quarter of 2024.

Remuneration of senior executives in 2024

Total remuneration to senior executives amounted to NOK 14,215,778 in 2024, of which 85.7% was base salaries and other benefits, 9.0% was bonuses and 5.3% pensions. Other benefits included work-related non-monetary employment benefits such as company car, insurance and digital media. There were no changes in pension schemes for senior executives in 2024. A full breakdown of remuneration can be found in the tables on page 48. A bonus of NOK 1,279,089 was paid to management during 2024, related to the short-term bonus scheme.

Management incentive scheme

The Group has approved a one-year rolling incentive scheme for its management. The maximum bonus pursuant to the incentive scheme equals the annual base salary, and the bonus is accrued based on changes in the trading price for the shares:

  • below 10% increase does not entitle bonus;
  • an increase of 30% or more entitles a maximum bonus; and
  • an increase between 10% and 30% entitles pro rata share of the maximum bonus.

Any dividends distributed on the shares within the relevant incentive periods will be added to the share price. The bonus will be paid two years after accrual if the employee is still employed at the payment date. The incentive scheme may be terminated by the Board of Directors. If it is terminated, the accrued bonus (if any) will be paid to the employees. As of 31 December 2024, the Group has not recognised any accrued bonus related to the incentive scheme.

Further, to encourage a strong performance culture, Edda Wind offers an annual variable pay rewarding individuals for annual achievements. The targets are linked to the Group's financial and non-financial performance and is capped at four months salary.

Pension and insurance schemes

The Group offers insurance benefits for senior executives aligned with local markets. The scheme includes coverage for old age, disability, spouse and children, and supplement payments from the Norwegian National Insurance system.

Severance package schemes

As a rule, senior executives who resign voluntarily or are found guilty of gross misconduct, gross negligence, disloyalty, or other material breach of his/her duties are not entitled to severance. The CEO has a non-compete restriction in his employment contract. There are no agreements between the Group and the members of management providing for benefits upon termination of employment, except for the CEO and CFO who, respectively, has a contractual right to 12 months' and 6 months' severance pay following the notice period.

Notes 1 to 16 on the next pages are an integral part of these consolidated financial statements.

Note 1 General accounting principles

General information

Edda Wind ASA and its subsidiaries (collectively "the Group") offer services to the offshore wind segment within the maritime sector. Edda Wind ASA is a public limited liability company registered in Norway with its headquarters at Spannavegen 152 in Haugesund and whose shares are publicly traded on the Oslo Stock Exchange.

Basis of preparation

The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with IFRS® Accounting Standards as adopted by the EU. The financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except certain financial assets and liabilities, including derivatives which are measured at fair value. The consolidated financial statements are presented in Euro (EUR), and are rounded to nearest thousand unless clearly stated otherwise. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.

New standards and interpretations not yet adopted

Edda Wind has not implemented any new standards with effect from 1 January 2024. IASB issued IFRS 18 in April 2024, which replaced IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements. IFRS 18 introduces new requirements for presentation within the statement of profit or loss, including specified totals and subtotals. Entities are required to classify all income and expenses within one of the five categories operating, investing, financing, income taxes and discontinued. The Group expects impacts on the classifications in the income statement. Further analysis is currently ongoing to evaluate the impacts. The standard is effective from reporting periods on or after 1 January 2027. IFRS 18 will apply retrospectively. Other new accounting standards and interpretations have been published during the year, however these are not expected to have a material impact on the Group in the current of future reporting periods. The Group will apply new and amended standards when they become effective.

Principles of consolidation

The Group's consolidated financial statements comprise of Edda Wind ASA and companies in which Edda Wind ASA has a controlling interest as at 31 December 2024. The subsidiaries included in the consolidated financial statements are listed in note 5. All intra-Group assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between members of the Group are eliminated in full on consolidation. In the consolidated financial statements, income and expenses of both domestic and foreign subsidiaries, not using Euro as functional currency, are translated using the average exchange rate for the accounting period. Balance sheet items are translated using the balance sheet date as exchange rate date.

Critical accounting estimates and assumptions

When preparing the financial statements, the Group must make assumptions and estimates. These estimates are based on the actual underlying business, its present and forecasted profitability over time, and expectations about external factors such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates and market fluctuations which are outside the Group's control. This represents a substantial risk that actual conditions will vary from the estimates.

Most balance sheet items will be affected by uncertainty related to estimates and assumptions to a certain degree. The item most affected, and where estimates and assumptions are assessed to have the greatest influence include the Group's assessment of vessel values. Accounting principles applied, estimates and assumptions used by management are presented in the respective notes.

Segment information

The Group's chief operating decision makers (the "CODM"), being the Board of Directors and Group management team, measures the financial and operating performance of the Group on a consolidated level. The CODM does not review a measure of operating result on a lower level than the consolidated Group, therefore the Group has one reportable segment being the Offshore Wind segment. Refer to note 2 for additional information regarding revenue by geographical region and major customers.

Summary of material accounting policies

Material accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are included below in note 1 to the extent they have not already been disclosed in other relevant notes. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.

Foreign currencies

The Group's consolidated financial statements are presented in Euros, which is also the parent company's functional currency. For each entity within the Group, the Group has determined the functional currency based on the primary economic environment of which the entity operates. Items included in the financial statements are measured using that functional currency. The functional currency for the Group's entities are EUR, GBP and NOK.

The financial statements for the Group's foreign operations, i.e. subsidiaries with functional currency other than the Group's presentation currency, are translated as follows:

• Balance sheet items are translated at the closing exchange rate on the balance sheet date. • Income and expense items are translated at a rate that is representative as an average exchange rate for the period, unless the exchange rates fluctuate significantly for that period, in which case the exchange

  • rates at the dates of the transactions are used.

The foreign exchange translation difference arising from translating foreign operations are recognised in other comprehensive income until disposal of the foreign operation. The Group has not recognised any net investment hedges for its part in net investment in foreign operations.

The Group has used the following exchange rates:

Spanish tax lease

In connection with the newbuilding contracts, the Group has, together with the Spanish shipyards Balenciaga S.A. and Astilleros Gondán, Spanish banks, Bankinter and Banko de Sabadell, and certain Spanish participant companies (together, the "AIE") (with external investors) established a structure that qualifies for a Spanish tax regime for financial leasing of newbuild contracts and vessels Spanish Tax Lease, or "STL". Spanish Tax Lease is a structure containing certain tax benefits in Spain, that also results in a lower construction cost for the Group's vessels. Management has made several considerations when it comes to accounting of the STL structure. See note 4 for further information.

Statement of consolidated cash flow

The statement of cash flow is prepared in accordance with the indirect model.

Note 2 Revenue from contracts with customers

Financial reporting principles

A time charter contract contains both a bareboat element in scope of IFRS 16 and a service component in scope of IFRS 15. Revenue for bareboat agreements are in scope of IFRS 16 Leases. Both the lease element and the service element is recognised as operating income.

Revenue derived from customer contracts in scope of IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers, are assessed using the five-step model, where only customer contracts with a firm commitment is used as basis for revenue recognition. Charter revenue from contracts with customers is recognised upon satisfaction of the performance obligation for the transfer of goods and services in each such contract. The revenue amount recognised is equal to the consideration the Group expects to be entitled in exchange for the goods and services. Any loss on contract is accrued when a loss is probable. The performance obligation is considered satisfied as the charter service is delivered, and apportioned according to the number of days for each contract occurring before and after the end of an accounting period. The contract period begins when the vessel is delivered to the customer, and ends when the vessel is redelivered to Edda Wind. As the customers are invoiced in the amount assessed to correspond to the value of the completed performance obligation, the Group have elected to apply the practical expedient to recognise revenue in the amount to which it has the right to invoice.

Leases, in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the Group as lessor, are classified as operating leases. Lease income for the leasing of vessels is recognised as operating lease and recognised in the income statement on a straight-line basis over the lease period. The lease period commences from the time the ship is made available to the customer and terminates upon agreed return.

Operating income

The Group's revenue mainly derives from offering vessels and maritime personnel to the offshore wind sector under long-term chartering agreements. Under these agreements the Group delivers a vessel, including crew, to the customer. The customer determines, within the contractual limits, how the vessel is to be utilised. The Group is remunerated at an agreed daily rate for use of vessel, equipment, crew and other resources or services utilised under the contract. The Group's contracts also include victualling covering meals and bedding provided to customer personnel on board the vessel. The Group's revenue is split into a service element, lease element, revenue from victualling and other income. The revenue is mainly recognised over time as the performance obligation is satisfied over time.

The Group also provides management services to companies outside of the Group. Remuneration for management services is classified as other revenue and recognised over time as performance obligation is satisfied over time.

Offshore wind operating revenue

Payments from charter contracts are generally due within 30 to 60 days after the end of each month or 30 to 60 days after the service is completed. Payment terms for all other services delivered is usually 30 days after the service is invoiced.

Leasing

Throughout the year, the Group has leased several frontrunners to fulfill charter commitments on the vessels Brint Enabler (February to April) and Goelo Enabler (May to July). These leases fall within the scope of IFRS 16; however, the Group has elected to apply the recognition exemption for short-term leases. Consequently, lease payments have been recognized as expenses over the lease term. The Group has recognised a lease expense of EUR 9,837 thousand during 2024, compared to EUR 6,197 thousand in 2023.

Other revenue

On 28 July 2022, Edda Wind entered into an agreement with Colombo Dockyard PLC for the cancellation of two newbuilding contracts signed 31 January 2022. Under this agreement, Edda Wind will receive a compensation in excess of incurred project costs. EUR 1,000 thousand has been recognised during 2024.

The delivery of Edda Breeze and Edda Brint to clients were postponed until end of March 2023 due to delayed delivery of gangway systems. Following the delay, Edda Wind incurred liquidated damages for both vessels until delivery, in total EUR 7,0 million. The amount has been capitalised as other non-current assets and is recognised in the P&L on a straight-line basis over to contract period from the date the vessels were delivered to the clients. In 2024, EUR 555 thousand have been recognised over profit and loss (2023: EUR 416 thousand). As of 31 December 2024, EUR 6,331 thousand is included in the balance sheet as other non-current assets.

Note 3 Payroll and remuneration

The Group employed in total 59 persons at 31 December 2024 (2023: 19), of which 33 employed through Edda Wind Management AS, 26 employed through Edda Wind Crewing AS.

All employees are included in defined contribution plans. The vessels' crew are hired from Østensjø Rederi AS and external suppliers and presented as hired personnel.

The CEO has a non-compete restriction in his employment contract. There are no agreements between the Group and the members of management providing for benefits upon termination of employment, except for the CEO and CFO who, respectively, has a contractual right to 12 months' and 6 months' severance pay following the notice period.

The salary and other remuneration of the CEO are decided by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors has delegated the responsibility for determining the salaries of the other senior executives to the CEO, subject to approval from the Board of Directors.

Management incentive scheme

The Group has approved a one-year rolling incentive scheme for its management. The maximum bonus pursuant to the incentive scheme equals the annual base salary, and the bonus is accrued based on changes in the trading price for the shares:

- Below 10% increase does not entitle bonus.

• An increase of 30% or more entitles maximum bonus.

• An increase between 10% and 30% entitles pro rata share of the maximum bonus.

Any dividends distributed on the shares within the relevant incentive periods will be added to the share price. The bonus will be paid two years after accrual if the employee is still employed at the payment date. The incentive scheme may be terminated by the Board of Directors. If it is terminated, the accrued bonus (if any) will be paid to the employees. As of 31 December 2024, the Group has not recognised any accrued bonus.

The Group has also approved a short-term incentive scheme for senior executives, where the targets are linked to the Group's financial and non-financial performance. Maximum opportunity for annual variable pay is capped at four months' salary.

Note 4 Tangible assets

Financial reporting principles

Depreciation of assets is calculated on a straight-line basis over the economic life of the asset adjusted for residual value and impairment. Depreciation commences when the asset is ready for use. Residual value for each vessel after its economic life is set to the expected recycling value of the vessel.

For vessels, a share of the purchase price is decomposed to periodic maintenance and are depreciated until first classification of said vessel. Based on the Group's periodic maintenance programme, the expected lifetime of a vessel is set to 30 years. The periodic maintenance is depreciated over 5 years.

Vessels under construction ("newbuildings") are capitalised based on instalments paid to the shipyard and other costs directly attributable to the construction, including borrowing costs during the construction period. Borrowing cost for general borrowings are also allocated to vessels under construction and capitalised in accordance with IAS 23. Please refer to note 16 for restatement of 2023 due to capitalisation of borrowing cost. Capitalised cost for vessels under construction is reclassified to vessels when the vessel is delivered and ready for use. Vessels under construction are not subject to depreciation until the vessel is ready for use.

Grants received from government agencies directly related to the acquisition of vessels is recognised in accordance with IAS 20 Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance as a reduction in the cost price of the vessel acquired when there is reasonable assurance that the Group complies with conditions attached to the grants.

Critical accounting estimates and assumptions

The carrying amount of vessels is based on management's assumption of useful life and residual value. The basis for the assessment is for the Group to utilise the vessel over the entirety of its economic life, where the residual value of the vessel at the end of the useful life period is expected to be close to future price for steel, less cost of recycling. This includes the hull and other significant components designed to last throughout the vessel's useful life. Due to a high degree of uncertainty in the future market for steel recycling, the Group has concluded to set the residual value to zero for each vessel. Management reassesses the useful life assumption on a yearly basis. Useful life for SOVs and CSOVs is 30 years, and for periodic maintenance is five years.

At each reporting date the vessels are reviewed for any indicators that the assets may be impaired. The review is carried out by management and IAS 36 Impairment of Assets is applied to determine whether tangible assets are impaired and to account for any impairment loss identified. Assets that are subject to amortisation or depreciation are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. If any such indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, estimates of the asset's recoverable amount are prepared.

For the purpose of assessing impairment the assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash generating units, "CGUs"). Management has assessed that each vessel is a separate CGU. The recoverable amount is the highest of the fair market value less cost to sell, and the net present value (NPV) of future estimated cash flow from the employment of the asset ("value in use"). When performing a value in use calculation, management must use judgement in estimating the assets future cash flow, hereunder utilisation, dayrates and discount rates.

The NPV is based on a discount rate according to a weighted average cost of capital (WACC) reflecting the Group's required rate of return. The WACC is calculated based on the Company's long-term borrowing rate and a risk-free rate plus a risk premium for the equity. If the recoverable amount is lower than the book value, impairment has occurred, and the asset shall be revalued. Impairment losses are recognised in the income statement. Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each reporting date.

Carrying amount for vessels and newbuildings per 31 December 2023 have been restated to reflect an adjustment related to capitalization of borrowing cost. Refer to note 16 for information on restatement performed. In 2024, EUR 16.2 million in borrowing costs have been capitalized.

The depreciation schedule for vessels is 30 years straight-line depreciation. For period maintenance, the depreciation is set to five years.

Impairment

The Group has performed an assessment of impairment indicators in accordance with IAS 36. Identification of impairment indicators is based on an assessment of development in market rates, earnings for the fleet, vessel operating expenses, operating profit, technological development, change in regulations, interest rates, discount rates, inherent climate risk and the relationship between market capitalisation and book value. The impairment assessment covers both operational vessels, as well as vessels under construction at year end.

As of 31 December 2024, the market capitalisation of the Group was below book value of the Group's equity. As such, the Group has performed an impairment test for its operational vessels, as well as vessels under construction.

Assumptions

As part of the assessment of vessel value, the Group obtained broker values. When comparing broker values to book values, a substantial headroom is identified. The broker valuations are supported by the recent sales of the Company's two SOVs, Edda Passat in 2024 and Mistral Enabler in 2025. To further support the broker values. the Group has performed an impairment test through a value in use model, calculating discounted future cash flows throughout the useful lifetime for each separately identifiable cash-generating unit. Management has used judgement in estimating the asset's future cash flow, such as utilisation, operating expenses, dayrates and discount rate. The estimates reflects the current market conditions.

Edda Wind had eight vessels in operation in 2024 and has secured contracts for two of its newbuildings. Following strong activity in the offshore wind market and several offshore wind farms coming closer to installation, the tendering activity is still going strong. Market reports indicate a demand for more than 150 service vessels in the offshore wind industry by the end of this decade. The supply of existing tier 1 C/SOVs plus newbuildings amounts to approximately 105 vessels, most of which are engaged on firm contracts. It is expected that the demand-supply gap will result in favourable utilisation levels and dayrates going forward.

The discount rate is based on the WACC pre-tax for the Group of 8.0-11.0%.

Report

Note 4 Tangible assets continued

Climate risk

Management has also assessed the asset's exposure to climate-related risk when estimating future cash flows. Climate risk refers to the impact climate-related issues may have on the Group's business and can be divided into the following categories: physical, regulatory, technological, market and reputational.

Physical risks, such as changes in weather conditions or sea levels may impact the Group adversely through reduced utilisation and thereby reduced revenue potential or by making crew changes more difficult and thereby driving higher costs. Management has assessed the physical risk as being low. All vessels are equipped with technology to handle harsh weather conditions, such as motion compensated gangway systems and cranes.

Identified regulatory risks relate to emissions, such as penalties or increased taxation on CO2 emissions or other emission-reducing measures that may adversely affect the Group. Although the Group's vessels main source of emission is CO2, the newbuildings are built for zero-emission technology and the Group therefore expects that it will be able to reduce its emissions going forward.

Main risks related to the technological aspect and the market mainly relates to the LOHC technology not materialising or the emergence of new technology or other renewable energy segments. Such risks may entail increased capital expenditure to stay competitive, or reduced growth in the offshore wind segments leading to reduced demand and thereby reduced dayrates, utilisation and revenue potential. Given the accelerating transition from fossil-based to zero-carbon energy sources, with considerable investments within the offshore wind segment, the Group does not expect that the offshore wind segment will be deprioritised in the energy market.

Identified reputational risk includes a shift in stakeholder preferences which can lead to the Group being less attractive to investors thereby reducing access to capital or increasing the cost of capital.

Edda Wind's strategy is focusing on the offshore wind industry. With the increasing focus on decarbonisation of the global energy market to stall climate change, Edda Wind sees major opportunities in the offshore wind market.

Conclusion

The recoverable amount exceeds the book value of the assets. As such, no impairment has been recognised as at 31 December 2024.

Spanish Tax Lease

In connection with the newbuilding contracts the Group has, together with the Spanish shipyards Balenciaga S.A. and Astilleros Gondán, Spanish banks, Bankinter and Banco de Sabadell, and certain Spanish participant companies (together, the "AIE") (with external investors) established a structure that qualifies for a Spanish tax regime for financial leasing of newbuild contracts and vessels, (Spanish Tax Lease, or "STL"). Spanish Tax Lease is a structure containing certain tax benefits in Spain, that also results in a lower construction cost for the Group's vessels.

The newbuilding contracts are agreements between the Group's Norwegian ship owning companies (the Group subsidiaries) and the shipyards. The structure is established so that the Norwegian ship owning companies sell the newbuilds to the Spanish Tax Lease structure at delivery of the vessels. The Norwegian ship owning company will lease the vessels back from the STL structure under a bareboat agreement. This agreement will normally have a contract length of 12 to 36 months from delivery of the vessel. Upon maturity of the lease contract the Norwegian ship owning company has a right and obligation to buy the shares of the Spanish AIE, which has to remain owner of the vessel over a certain period of years in order to maintain the benefits in the tax lease structure.

Prior to delivery of the vessel from the shipyard, the Norwegian ship owning company pays instalments directly to the shipyard equal to the net price of the vessel. Following the delivery, the vessel is sold to a leasing company within the STL structure at a consideration equal to the gross price of the vessel. The difference between the gross and net price is the STL benefit. In accordance with the lease agreements, all financing and cash payments in the STL structure in the leasing period are pre-arranged between the involved parties, and based on the agreement, the consideration from the leasing company is paid to the Norwegian ship owning company and immediately deposited to an account under the STL structure, less the STL benefit, which is rerouted to the shipyard. Following the deposit, Edda Wind is released from making any other payment under the STL agreements. As such, the STL benefit is a pre-arranged flow-through of cash in Edda Wind originating from within the STL structure. Construction cost for newbuildings under the Spanish Tax Lease arrangement is therefore recorded on a net basis (i.e. net of tax benefit) for the Group.

There are no opportunities for the external investors of the AIE to make any decisions for the AIE that has not been regulated in the contracts following the newbuilding contract and the tax lease contracts, and they are at the end of the lease contract period obliged to sell the shares to the Norwegian ship owning company for EUR 1. All construction financing is made from the Norwegian ship owning companies to the shipyards, and the payments follows a fixed plan in accordance with the newbuilding contract. The external post-delivery financing of the vessel will remain with the Norwegian ship owning company during the tax lease period.

Governance

Note 4 Tangible assets continued

By leasing back the vessels from the STL structure through a bareboat agreement, the Group retains the control and use, substantially all the economic benefit of this use, and the right to direct the use of the vessels.

Hence, the Norwegian ship owning companies remain in control of the vessels over the entire tax lease contract period, first through the bareboat agreement and then at the end of the tax lease where they have the right and the obligation to buy the shares in the AIE which owns the vessel at that time.

Based on all facts and circumstances discussed above, the Group have assessed that the sale and purchase agreement of the vessels do not constitute a sale of the vessels, and that the vessels shall continue to be recognised and subsequently measured in accordance with IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment during and after the lease period.

Government grants

For newbuildings, the Group has received a cash grant from Enova SF, of which EUR 3.1 million (2023: 2.1 million) has been paid during the year. The Enova SF grant provides financial support for the installation of the LOHC concept with potential for future zero-emission operations and battery propulsion systems. All of the fleets newbuildings are prepared for hydrogen-based operations with zero GHG emissions.

Note 9 Tax Ordinary taxation

The ordinary rate of corporation tax in Norway is 22% of net profit for 2024 and 2023. Norwegian limited liability companies are encompassed by the participation exemption method for share income. Thus, share dividends and gains are tax-free for the receiving company. Corresponding losses on shares are not deductible. The participation exemption method does not apply to share income from companies considered low taxed and that are located outside the European Economic Area (EEA), and on share income from companies owned by less than 10% resident outside the EEA.

For Group companies located in the same country and within the same tax regime, taxable profits in one company can be offset against tax losses and tax loss carry forwards in other Group companies. Deferred tax/deferred tax asset has been calculated on temporary differences to the extent that it is likely that these can be utilised in each country and for Norwegian entities the Group has applied a rate of 22% for 2024 and 2023.

The effective tax rate for the Group will, from period to period, change dependent on the Group gains and losses from investments inside the exemption method and tax-exempt revenues from tonnage tax regimes.

Four of the Group's Norwegian subsidiaries, Edda Wind XI AS, Edda Wind XII AS, Edda Wind XIV AS and Edda Wind XV AS are taxed in accordance with the Norwegian Tonnage Tax regime. Tonnage tax is recognised as an operating expense in the income statement.

Foreign taxes

The Group operates internationally and operations may be subject to local taxes. Companies domiciled outside Norway will be subject to local taxation, either on ordinary terms or under special tonnage tax rules. When dividends are paid, local withholding taxes may be applicable. This generally applies to dividends paid by companies domiciled outside the EEA.

The Group's Spanish subsidiaries, Puerto de Calella SL, Puerto de Llafranc SL, Mar de Grado SL, Mar de Berrobi SL and Puerto de Gandesa SL are taxed in accordance with the Spanish Tonnage Tax regime.

Note 10 Financial risk Market risk

The Group is subject to financial risk through operations, financial markets risk, foreign currency risk, interest rate risk and freight rates. The financial risk affects the value of the Group's financial assets, liabilities and future cash flows.

The Group has established hedging strategies to monitor risks on material exposures. Derivatives are only used to manage the risk related to fluctuations in interest rates.

The Group is exposed to currency risk on revenues and costs in non-functional currencies (transaction risk), and balance sheet items denominated in currencies other than non-functional currencies (translation risk). The Group's largest foreign exchange exposures are GBP against EUR and NOK against EUR.

The Group's expected future charter revenue is partly hedged by debt financing and operating expenses in the corresponding foreign currency, reducing the effect of currency fluctuations in the Group's income statement.

The effects of changes in currency have the following effects on the Group's income statement and other

comprehensive income:

The following table show the Group's sensitivity on profit and loss before tax due to changes in GBP from the Group's monetary assets and liabilities.

Except for translation adjustments from subsidiaries with functional currency other than EUR, there are no effects on other comprehensive income. The Group has an immaterial exposure from NOK against EUR.

Interest rate risk

The Group's exposure to interest risk relates primarily to the Group's interest -bearing debt with floating interest rates. See note 8 for information on the Group's interest -bearing debt as at 31 December 202 4 .

An increase of 1 percentage point in interest rate will cause a EUR 57 thousand increase in interest cost in 202 4 (202 3 : EUR 334 thousand). Interests related to vessels under construction and part of interest related to general borrowings are capitalised as part of the newbuild cost price, and as such an increase in interest percentage will also have an effect on capitalised interest. As at 31 December 202 4 , the Group had fixed all in interest on approximately 50% of its long -term interest -bearing debt.

Note 10 Financial risk continued

Credit risk

The Group is exposed to credit risk related to charter contracts as the Group has signed contracts with customers. The customers are considered solid, and the risk of customers not having the financial capability to fulfil their obligations to the Group is considered low. The Group has applied the practical simplified approach in accordance with IFRS 9 to calculate loss on receivables. In calculating loss provisions, receivables are reviewed and assessed on an individual level taking into account facts and circumstances for the individual customer.

The following table shows the ageing of accounts receivables:

The main portion of overdue receivables has been paid after the balance sheet date.

Liquidity and financing risk

Liquidity risk relates to the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial and operational obligations as they are due. The Group's approach to managing liquidity is to manage cash flows from operation from long-term charter contracts, and the liquidity situation is monitored and projected via liquidity budgets prepared by management on a regular basis. The Group has secured financing for all operating vessels and all of its newbuilding vessels. The Group is continuously exploring alternatives to strengthen its balance sheet.

The tables below show the expected future undiscounted cash flows from financial liabilities. Interest due is based on interest rates at period end 31 December 2024 and 31 December 2023.

Fair value

The fair value of financial instruments nominated in other currencies than EUR is determined based on the currency exchange rate at the balance sheet date. The fair value of financial instruments traded in an active market is based on quoted market prices at the balance sheet date. The fair value of financial instruments not traded in an active market (over -the -counter contracts) is based on third -party quotes. These quotes use observable market rates for price discovery. Specific valuation techniques used by financial counterparties (banks) to value financial derivatives include:

  • Quoted market prices or dealer quotes for similar derivatives.
  • The fair value of interest rate swaps is calculated as the net present value of the estimated future cash flows based on observable yield curves.

The carrying value less impairment provision of receivables and payables are assumed to approximate their fair values. The Group estimates the fair value of financial liabilities for disclosure purposes by discounting the future contractual cash flows at current market interest rates available to the Group for similar financial derivatives.

The following table show the fair value and book value (amortised cost) of the Group's interest -bearing debt:

Note 15 Leasing

During 2024, Edda Wind has applied IFRS 16 to the long-term lease of the headquarter office space. The application has resulted in the following being recognized in the balance sheet:

Note 16 Restatement of previous period

The Group has reassessed its application of IAS 23 Borrowing cost and its effect on capitalisation of borrowing cost related to the newbuilding programme. Historically, Edda Wind has only capitalised borrowing cost related to specific borrowings, i.e. loans directly attributable to the qualifying assets in the Group, disregarding qualifying assets financed with general borrowings. However, the new application of IAS 23 also takes into consideration that the Group has general borrowings which has partly been financing qualifying assets but not been directly allocated to the construction of a qualifying asset. The change in application of IAS 23, capitalization of general borrowings has been implemented retrospectively and 2023 has been restated. The effects on periods prior to 2023 is considered immaterial and as such, the opening balance of 2023 is unchanged.

Notes to the Company Financial Statements

(EUR1,000)

Note 1 General accounting principles

Accounting policies

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Norwegian Accounting Act of 1998 and generally accepted accounting principles in Norway.

Shares in subsidiaries

Subsidiaries and investments in associates are valued at cost in the Company accounts. The investment is valued at cost of the shares in the subsidiary, less any impairment losses. An impairment loss is recognised if the impairment is not considered to be temporary, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Impairment losses are reversed if the reason for the impairment loss disappears in a later period. Dividend, Group contributions and other distribution from subsidiaries are recognised in the same year as they are recognised in the financial statements of the provider. If dividends / Group contributions exceed withheld profits after the acquisition date, the excess amount represents repayment of invested capital, and the distribution will be deducted from the recorded value of the acquisition in the balance sheet for the parent company.

Valuation and classification of assets and liabilities

Assets intended for permanent ownership or use in the business are classified as non-current assets. Other assets are classified as current assets. Receivables due within one year are classified as current assets. The classification of current and non-current liabilities is based on the same criteria. Current assets are valued at the lower of historical cost and fair value. Fixed assets are carried at historical cost but are written down to their recoverable amount if this amount is lower than the carrying amount and the decline is expected to be permanent. Fixed assets with limited economic life are depreciated on a systematic basis in accordance with a reasonable depreciation schedule. Other long-term liabilities, as well as short-term liabilities, are valued at nominal value.

Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Company faces an obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of past event and it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made on the amount of the obligation. The expense related to a provision is presented in the statement of profit and loss. All provisions are reviewed at end of each reporting period and adjusted to reflect best estimate.

Use of estimates

The management has used estimates and assumptions that have affected the income statement and the valuation of assets and liabilities, as well as uncertain assets and liabilities on the balance sheet date during preparation of the financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in Norway.

Foreign currency

The financial statements of the Company are presented in Euro. Monetary items (assets, liabilities and bank deposits) in foreign currency are converted at the exchange rate as on the balance sheet date.

Receivables

Receivables are recognised at nominal value, less the accrual for expected losses of receivables. Provisions for doubtful accounts are made on the basis of individual assessment of each receivable. For the remaining receivables, a general provision is estimated based on expected loss.

Dividend

Dividend income is recognised when the right to receive payment is established, normally when the dividend is approved by the general meeting of the subsidiary. Dividend distribution to shareholders is recognised as a liability when the dividend is approved by the general meeting.

Tax

The tax expense consists of the tax payable and changes to deferred tax. Deferred tax/tax assets are calculated on all differences between the book value and tax value of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets are recorded on the balance sheet when it is more likely than not that the tax assets will be utilised. Taxes payable and deferred taxes are recognised directly in equity to the extent that they relate to equity transactions.

Cash flow statements

The statement of cash flow is prepared in accordance with the indirect model. Cash and cash equivalents include cash, bank deposits and other short-term investments which immediately and with minimal exchange risk can be converted into known cash amounts, with due date less than three months from purchase date.

Note 2 Payroll and remuneration

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

To the Annual Shareholders' Meeting of Edda Wind ASA

Report on the audit of the financial statements

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Edda Wind ASA (the Company) which comprise:

  • The financial statements of the Company, which comprise the balance sheet as at 31 December 2024 and the income statement and cash flow statement for the year then ended and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies, and
  • The financial statements of the Group, which comprise the statement of financial position as at 31 December 2024, the income statement, statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and cash flow statement for the year then ended and notes to the financial statements, including material accounting policy information.

In our opinion

  • the financial statements comply with applicable statutory requirements,
  • the financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Company as at 31 December 2024 and its financial performance and cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with the Norwegian Accounting Act and accounting standards and practices generally accepted in Norway, and
  • the consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Group as at 31 December 2024 and its financial performance and cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as adopted by the EU.

Our opinion is consistent with our additional report to the audit committee.

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company and the Group in accordance with the requirements of the relevant laws and regulations in Norway and the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants' International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including International Independence Standards) (the IESBA Code), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

To the best of our knowledge and belief, no prohibited non -audit services referred to in the Audit Regulation (537/2014) Article 5.1 have been provided.

We have been the auditor of the Company for 6 years from the election by the general meeting of the shareholders on 18 Oktober 2019 for the accounting year 2019.

Key audit matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements for 2024. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Impairment assessment of vessels and newbuilds

Basis for the key audit matter

As of 31 December 2024, the market capitalization of the Group was below book value of the Group equity. Group management identified the impairment indicator to be related to vessels and newbuilds and tested recoverable amounts. The carrying amount of the Group's vessels and newbuilds amounted to EUR 641 million, which corresponds to 91% of total assets. Remaining instalments for newbuilds amount to EUR 90 million. No impairment was recognized on vessels and newbuilds. Management classified each vessel and newbuild as separate cash generating units ("CGUs"). Management measured the recoverable amounts of vessels and newbuilds by comparing the carrying amount and remaining instalments of each CGU to the highest of fair value less costs to sell and their value in use. Key assumptions for the fair value less cost to sell were based on broker valuation reports. Management supported these brokers valuation reports by comparing broker values to recent sales of vessels in the Group. To further support the assessments management performed value in use calculations. Key assumptions for the value -in -use calculations were forecasted day -rates, operating costs, utilization, estimated useful life of the vessels and discount rates. Considering the extent of estimates and assumptions applied in the impairment evaluation, and management's involvement and significant judgement in establishing them, we assess the impairment assessment of vessels and newbuilds as a key audit matter.

Our audit response We evaluated the appropriateness of management's identification of the Group's CGUs. We assessed the fair value less costs to sell estimates and compared these with third party broker valuation reports. In addition, we compared the net sales value of recent sales of two vessels in the Group to historical and current broker valuation reports. For the value in use calculation, we compared day -rates in the firm contracts and estimated future rates to historical spot rates and future market expectations from third parties for the SOV and CSOV market. Operating costs have been compared to approved budgets, historical expenses and future expectations from third parties. Estimated useful lives of the vessels have been compared to industry practice and plans for docking and maintenance. We involved an internal specialist in testing the mathematical accuracy of the value -in -use calculations, in the assessment of the model and the discount rate applied. We refer to note 4 of the consolidated financial statements.

Other information

The Board of Directors and the Managing Director (management) are responsible for the information in the Board of Directors' report and the other information presented with the financial statements. The other information comprises annual report and statements on Corporate Governance. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the information in the Board of Directors' report and the other information presented with the financial statements.

of Directors' Report

– Annual Report 202 4

Auditor'sReport continued

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the information in the Board of Directors' report and for the other information presented with the financial statements. The purpose is to consider if there is material inconsistency between the information in the Board of Directors' report and the other information presented with the financial statements and the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise the information in the Board of Directors' report and for the other information presented with the financial statements otherwise appears to be materially misstated. We are required to report if there is a material misstatement in the Board of Directors' report and the other information presented with the financial statements. We have nothing to report in this regard

Based on our knowledge obtained in the audit, it is our opinion that the Board of Directors' report

  • is consistent with the financial statements and
  • contains the information required by applicable statutory requirements.

Our statement on the Board of Directors' report applies correspondingly for the statement on Corporate Governance.

Responsibilities of management for the financial statements

Management is responsible for the preparation of the financial statements of the Company that give a true and fair view in accordance with the Norwegian Accounting Act and accounting standards and practices generally accepted in Norway, and for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements of the Group that give a true and fair view in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as adopted by the EU. Management is responsible for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company's and the Group's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or the Group, or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists.

Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
  • Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's and the Group's internal control.

  • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
  • Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company's and the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company and the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
  • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
  • Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with the board of directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide the audit committee with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with the board of directors, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

In our opinion, the remuneration report has been prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with section 6 - 16 b of the Norwegian Public Limited Liability Companies Act and the accompanying regulation.

Board of directors' responsibilities

The board of directors is responsible for the preparation of the remuneration report and that it contains the information required in section 6 -16 b of the Norwegian Public Limited Liability Companies Act and the accompanying regulation and for such internal control as the board of directors determines is necessary for the preparation of a remuneration report that is free from material misstatements, whether due to fraud or error.

Our independence and quality control

We are independent of the company in accordance with the requirements of the relevant laws and regulations in Norway and the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants' International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including International Independence Standards) (IESBA Code), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. The firm applies International Standard on Quality Management, which requires the firm to design, implement and operate a system of quality management including policies or procedures regarding compliance with ethical requirements, professional standards and applicable legal and regulatory requirements.

Auditor's responsibilities

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on whether the remuneration report contains the information required in section 6 -16 b of the Norwegian Public Limited Liability Companies Act and the accompanying regulation and that the information in the remuneration report is free from material misstatements. We conducted our work in accordance with the International Standard for Assurance Engagements (ISAE) 3000 – "Assurance engagements other than audits or reviews of historical financial information".

We obtained an understanding of the remuneration policy approved by the general meeting. Our procedures included obtaining an understanding of the internal control relevant to the preparation of the remuneration report in order to design procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company's internal control. Further we performed procedures to ensure completeness and accuracy of the information provided in the remuneration report, including whether it contains the information required by the law and accompanying regulation. We believe that the evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
