Letter from the CEO
Edda Wind gearing up for more activity, more vessels and more contracts.
The offshore wind industry is continuing its growth and the upward trend is set to continue. This is backed up by huge optimism from the industry itself, markets analysts and investors. This optimism is welcomed and shared by Edda Wind.
Market reports indicate a demand for more than 250 service vessels in the offshore wind industry by the end of this decade. The supply of existing C/SOVs plus newbuilds amounts to around 60 vessels, of which 50% are engaged on firm contracts. It is expected that the demand/supply gap will result in favourable day rates, particularly in the shorter commissioning segment. The fact that the subsea tonnage is exiting from offshore wind back to oil & gas, suggests an expected increase in this trend. This demand represents a significant growth opportunity for Edda Wind, being a leading operator with a portfolio of both long-and short-/medium-term contracts, able to balance stable cash flows with flexibility to capitalise on favourable market dynamics.
Edda Wind is increasing its capacity and another CSOV was ordered in October. The ongoing newbuilding programme will bring the fleet to a total of ten purpose-built offshore wind vessels by mid 2025. Four of the newbuilds are presently uncommitted, which is considered to be a great opportunity based on market outlook. The company has previously reported delays on the gangway systems for the first newbuilds. Therefore, I am happy to report that the installation and commissioning of the systems onboard Edda Breeze and Edda Brint is about to be completed allowing the vessels to start generating cash. Both vessels are expected to commence operations in March.
The three vessels in operation have performed very well, with a utilisation of 99.7% and no injuries to personnel during the quarter. The chartered-in frontrunner vessel, Edda Fjord, has provided very good service to Ocean Breeze since April 2021. The vessel will be redelivered to Østensjø once it is replaced by Edda Breeze. I am delighted to see that Ørsted has declared an optional period for Edda Passat and Edda Mistral, which is firm proof of the quality of service Edda Wind has provided during a five-year period.
It is already a year since Edda Wind's successful IPO, and the first full year of operation is over. It has been a very exciting and hectic period with its challenges and I am happy to have received such positive feedback on the company, as a trusted and recognised service provider to the offshore wind industry. We have much excitement ahead of us, including five newbuilds that will commence operations during 2023. The Edda Wind organisation will be geared up in line with these newbuilds coming into operations to ensure that the company has the capacity and scale to deal with an increased workload, and the ability to operate smoothly as we gradually grow larger fleet.
We are grateful to all stakeholders who have, and continue to show, confidence in Edda Wind and our business model.

Highlights Q4 2022
Operations
Edda Wind ASA and subsidiaries ("The Group") is a pure-play offshore wind service company.
Currently, the Group owns and operates two purpose-built SOVs and operates one chartered-in frontrunner vessel.
Edda Passat and Edda Mistral operate in the North Sea on charters for Ørsted on Race Bank and Hornsea 1 wind farms, while Edda Fjord is chartered in as a frontrunner for a long-term contract with Ocean Breeze at the BARD Offshore 1 wind farm. All three vessels had near full utilisation throughout the quarter and zero injuries.
The Group has a newbuilding programme for further SOVs and CSOVs at yards in Spain which will bring the fleet up to ten vessels.
Group consolidated results Q4 2022
Operating income for Q4 2022 was EUR 7.3 million, 7.5% up from EUR 6.8 million in the same quarter in 2021. The increase in operating income is primarily related to increases in day rates in firm contracts as well as compensation received from Colombo Dockyard Plc.
Operating expenses in Q4 2022 were EUR 5.9 million. In Q4 2021, the operating expenses were EUR 6.4 million, the reduction in cost is primarily related to the IPO-process in Q4 2021.
Operating profit before depreciation in Q4 2022 was EUR 1.4 million, versus EUR 0.4 million in Q4 2021.
Net financial result in Q4 2022 was EUR -0.4 million, compared to EUR 0.7 million in the same quarter last year, mainly due to currency effect and realised gains on financial derivatives.
Profit before tax was EUR 0.2 million, versus EUR 0.3 in Q4 2021.

Capital structure and financing
Cash and cash equivalents ended at EUR 45.0 million, down from EUR 89.5 million at the end of Q4 2022 mainly due to investments in newbuildings.
Investment in newbuildings was EUR 223.1 million, up from EUR 131.1 million at the end of Q4 2022 due to payments in relation to the eight newbuildings on order.
Total interest-bearing debt was EUR 156.9 million, up from EUR 117.5 million in Q4 2022.
Total equity was EUR 183.7 million by the end of Q4 2022, down from EUR 184.3 at the end of Q4 2022.
Outlook
The ongoing restructuring of the world's energy systems in a greener direction has continued and strengthened throughout the quarter. This is a megatrend that will contribute to shaping the world for decades to come.
The leading analytical environments within offshore wind estimate a continued significant growth in energy generation capacity from offshore wind turbines until at least the end of this decade. This will naturally be accompanied by a sharp growth in the number of wind turbines installed and in operation. As a consequence, it is estimated that in excess of 250 C/SOVs will be needed to assist with commissioning and operation of these; a number that compares favourably with the existing fleet size of less than 60 vessels, including vessels under construction.
Outlook continued
Subsea tonnage, which has been filling the gap between supply and demand until now, is continuing to migrate back to oil & gas markets, as demand and day rates achieved in these markets have strengthened significantly over the last year. For Edda Wind, as the leading shipowner and operation within the C/SOV market, this continues to be an opportunity for growth in what is expected to be a market with increasing day rates.
The newbuilding programme
The Group has eight vessels under construction, two SOVs and six CSOVs – including three vessels that are delivered from shipyard but in the process of installing gangway systems. The SOV and CSOV newbuilds are sister-vessels with the same main components and technology, which will offer benefits in relation to operation, crew training and spares. Quoted prices for similar vessels have increased significantly during the last year meaning that the current fleet has been ordered at an opportune time and at attractive prices. All the newbuilding contracts are based on firm yard prices.
Inflation and shortages in supply chains continue to be impacted by the war in Ukraine, however there are signs that suppliers are now able to mitigate this impact going forward.
Edda Breeze and Edda Brint are expected to be delivered to clients in March 2023 and Edda Boreas (C-490) and C-416 are expected to be ready for operation in Q2 and Q4 2023 respectively.
Management report Q4 2022
continued
Gangway deliveries
As previously reported, the company has suffered delays on the gangway systems which again has resulted in delayed commissioning and onhire for Edda Breeze and Edda Brint.
Edda Wind has, together with the supplier, worked hard to mitigate the consequences of the delays to ensure delivery of the gangway systems as early as possible (see note 11). This has involved taking delivery of the vessels from the shipyard with the gangway system only partly completed. The final commissioning of the systems commenced in Denmark in November and has since been progressing well. The vessels are expected to be onhire in March 2023.
Events after the balance sheet date
As reported in December 2022, hull no C416 is under construction at Balenciaga shipyard in Spain. The construction is behind schedule, and it is estimated that the vessel will be ready for operation in Q4 2023. Management, together with the yard, suppliers, and the client are working to minimize the risk of further delays, as well as associated cost increase.
On February 9th 2023 Edda Wind took delivery of Edda Boreas, the second of a series of six CSOVs contracted at Gondan shipyard in Spain. The vessel will be completed with gangway system in Denmark and thereafter, it will commence a 2+1 year charter with SSE in Q2 2023 – working on commissioning of Dogger Bank Wind Farm in the North Sea.
On February 13th, Edda Wind entered into a green loan facility agreement for the pre- and postdelivery financing of three vessels under construction at Gondan shipyard in Spain. The facility, which is with Crédit Agricole, Eksfin and Sparebanken Vest, is between EUR 100 – EUR 120 million with a term of 6 years from delivery and a blended profile of 12 years and 15 years at attractive terms. Following this, the first nine vessels in the fleet have secured long-term financing.
Edda Breeze is about to complete installation of the gangway system and is expected to commence the charter early March 2023. As the first of eight newbuilds on hire, this represents a milestone for Edda Wind.

Notes
Note 2 Revenue from contracts with customers
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 onboard the vessel. The Group's revenue is split into a service element and lease element. 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.
The Group has one reportable segment being the Offshore Wind segment.

Leasing
In April 2021 the Group entered into a 12-month lease for the OSV vessel Edda Fjord from related party West Supply VIII AS. This contract is a lease in scope of IFRS 16, however the Group have elected to apply the recognition exemption for short-term leases and the Group has recognised the lease payments as an expense over the lease period. The vessel is operating as a frontrunner for Edda Breeze, which is expected to be delivered to the client in March 2023. As such, the lease was extended until year end, with optional period until 31 March 2023. During the fourth quarter 2022, the Group recognised a lease expense of EUR 2,529 thousand (EUR 1,835 thousand in Q3 2021).
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 compensation in excess of incurred project costs. EUR 1,000 thousand has been recognised YTD 2022, EUR 500 thousand of which in Q4. The remaining agreed compensation is recognised as revenue when payment is received.

Note 3 continued Tangible assets continued
The depreciation schedule for vessels is 30 years straight-line depreciation. For periodic maintenance, the depreciation is set to 5 years based on time expected until next maintenance.
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. 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.
Impairment assessment
The Group considers the relationship between its market capitalisation and its book value, among other factors, when reviewing for indicators of impairment. As of 31 December 2022, the market capitalisation of the Group was below the book value of its equity. As a result, the Group performed an impairment test at the end of the fourth quarter of 2022 for each of its operational SOVs and newbuilds expected to be delivered in 2023.
As part of the assessment of vessel value, the Group has obtained broker values. When comparing broker values to book values, a substantial headroom is identified. To further support the broker values, the Group has performed an impairment test through a value in use calculation. Cash flows are estimated throughout the useful time of the vessels. The estimates for 2022 reflect the current market conditions. The Group has used a discount rate in the interval of 8.5%-10.0% for cash flows denominated in EUR and GBP. This is also an assumption when performing the impairment assessment. The recoverable amount exceeded the carrying amount in the value-in-use calculation and thus the impairment test did not reveal any need for impairment.

Note 5 Fair value financial liabilities
The table below shows the Group's financial derivatives measured at fair value.
| Financial liabilities at fair value | 31.12.2022 | 31.12.2021 |
|---|---|---|
| Financial liabilities/(financial assets) measured at fair value at 01.01 | 91 | 598 |
| Changes in fair value through the income statement (+loss/-profit) | (162) | (208) |
| Derecognition of interest swap due to termination | – | (299) |
| Total financial liabilities/(financial assets) measured at fair value | (71) | 91 |
The Group's financial liabilities measured at fair value consists of an interest rate swap for a portion of the Group's interest bearing debt to financial institutions in order to mitigate risk related to interest rate, as well as an outright foreign exchange contract. The Group terminated one of its interest rate swaps in December 2021.
The fair value of financial instrument nominated in other currencies than EUR is determined based on the currency exchange rate at the balance sheet date. The financial instruments are not traded in an active market (over-the-counter contracts) and are based on level 2 input, consisting of 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 for similar derivatives, and calculations of the net present value of the estimated future cash flows based on observable yield curves.
The Group does not hold fair value financial assets or liabilities measured using significant unobservable inputs (level 3).
All other financial assets and liabilities held by the Group are measured at amortised cost.
