Growth in net revenue and EBIT adj.

In the second quarter of 2021, the average daily system price was 647% higher than in the second quarter of 2020. While 2020 as a whole, including the second quarter, was a year with exceptionally low electricity prices due to the hydrologic balance, Q2 2021 has been affected by an increase in the price of CO2 quotas, coal and gas, in addition to low amounts of generation from wind power. Thus, Q2 2020 represented a very favourable market situation, while the market dynamics in Q2 2021 have been more neutral.

Net revenue increase 24% YoY and EBIT adj. increase 14% YoY, mainly driven by M&A. The number of electricity deliveries decreased by 1,959 in the quarter, which is a signi icant improvement from last quarter's development. On 25th of August, Fjordkraft announced the acquisition of SkyMobil's customer portfolio of about 38 thou-sand subscribers. In addition to the announced platform change within Mobile, this acquisition will contribute positively to the New Growth Initiatives segment.

Figures from the corresponding period the previous year are in brackets, unless otherwise specified.

Consumer

Number of electricity deliveries in the Consumer segment decreased by 11 thousand deliveries in the quarter. At the end of Q2 2021 the segment comprised 726 thousand deliveries, which represents a growth of 182 thousand deliveries YoY. The volume sold in second quarter 2021 was 2,073 GWh, which is a 34% increase from the second quarter 2020, driven by M&A growth.

The decrease in margin is driven by a less favourable elspot market development compared to Q2 2020.

Business

At the end of second quarter 2021, the Business segment comprised 111 thousand electricity deliveries, which represents a growth of 30 thousand deliveries YoY. The volume sold in second quarter 2021 was 1,569 GWh, an increase of 26% compared to second quarter 2020. The increase is driven by volume growth from M&A.

Events after the reporting period

On August 25th 2021, Fjordkraft announced the acquisition of Skymobil's mobile customer portfolio. The mobile customers will be included in the Group's New growth initiatives and contribute to increased profitability in this business area.

There are no other significant events after the reporting period that has not been reflected in the consolidated financial statements.

Risks and uncertainties

The demand for electricity, electricity prices, customer churn and competition are the main uncertainties in a short-term perspective. The demand for electricity varies with i.a. weather conditions and temperature. Electricity prices are determined by supply and demand through Nordpool, the marketplace for electricity in the Nordics. Fjordkraft seeks to reduce market risk to a low level and does not take speculative positions in the electricity market. The upcoming certification of Norwegian electricity retailers, "Trygg Strømhandel", is expected to increase transparency and contribute to reduced risk.

Outlook

The Group's growth ambitions are stated in the capital markets day material and are expected to be realised mainly through M&A, supported by a slightly positive organic growth. The Group's financial targets are presented in the quarterly presentation.

General information

Fjordkraft Holding ASA and its subsidiaries (together 'the Group') is a supplier of electrical power in Norway, Sweden and Finland. The Group's core business is concentrated at purchase, sales and portfolio management of electrical power to households, private and public companies, and municipalities. In 2017, the Group also became a provider of mobile phone services to private customers in Norway.

Fjordkraft Holding ASA is incorporated and domiciled in Norway. The address of its registered office is Folke Bernadottes Vei 38, 5147 Bergen, Norway.

These interim financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors for issue on 25 August 2021.

A review of the interim financial statements has been carried out by the independent auditor of the Group.

Basis of preparation

These interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, "Interim financial reporting". These interim financial statements do not provide the same scope of information as the annual financial statements and should therefore be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2020, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS.

Going concern

The Group has adopted the going concern basis in preparing it's consolidated financial statements. When assessing this assumption, management has assessed all available information about the future. This comprises information about net cash flows from existing customer contracts and other service contracts, debt service and obligations. After making such assessments, management has a reasonable expectation that the Group has adequate resources to continue its operational existence for the foreseeable future.

Accounting policies

The accounting policies applied in preparing these interim financial statements are consistent with those described in the previous annual report for the financial year 2020, except that income tax expense is recognised in each interim period using the expected weighted average annual income tax rate for the full financial year. Taxes on income in the interim periods are accrued using the tax rate that would be applicable to expected total annual profit or loss.

There are not any new or amended accounting standards or interpretations of which application is mandatory for reporting periods commencing 1 January 2021, that have had a material impact on these interim financial statements.

Use of estimates

The preparation of interim financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates. In preparing these interim financial statements, the significant judgements made by management in applying the Group's accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2020, except for income taxes and defined benefit obliations.

Income tax expense and deferred income tax liability is calculated by applying a weighted average of tax rates across jurisdictions, while in annual financial statements income tax expense and deferred income tax liability is calculated by applying the tax rate for each individual jurisdiction to measures of income for each jurisdiction.

Present value of defined benefit obligations and the fair value of plan assets are at the end of each interim reporting period estimated by extrapolation of the pension expense in the latest annual actuarial valuation, and an estimate of actuarial gains and losses calculated using updated estimates for sigificant actuarial assumptions. In the annual financial statements however the present value of defined benefit obligations and the fair value of plan assets are estimated based on a complete set of annual actuarial valuations.

Note 2 Segment information

Disaggregation of revenue from contracts with customers

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal financial reporting provided to the chief operating decision-maker. The chief operating decision maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors examines the Group's performance from a type of services perspective. Segment performance is evaluated based on profit or loss and is measured consistently with profit or loss in the consolidated financial statements.

The Group's reportable segments under IFRS 8 - "Operating Segments" are therefore as follows: -Consumer segment - Sale of electrical power and related services to private consumers in Norway -Business segment - Sale of electrical power and related services to business consumers in Norway -Nordic segment - Sale of electrical power and related services to consumers in Finland and Sweden.

Information reported to the chief operating decision maker for the purposes of resource allocation and assessment of segment performance is focused on the category of customer for each type of activity. No operating segments have been aggregated in arriving at the reportable segments of the Group. The principal categories of customers are direct sales to private consumers, business consumers and alliance partners.

The segment profit measure is adjusted operating profit which is defined as profit before tax earned by each segment without the allocation of non-recurring expenses, depreciation of acquisitions, impairment and change in provision for onerous contracts, other gains and losses, income/ loss from investments in associates and joint ventures, interest income, interest expense, interest expense lease liability, and other financial items, net. This is the measure reported to the chief operating decision maker for the purposes of resource allocation and assessment of segment performance. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as the Group's accounting policies.

All of the Group's revenue is from external parties and is from activities currently carried out in Norway, Sweden and Finland. There are no customers representing more than 10% of revenue.

The tables below is an analysis of the Group's revenue and profit by reportable segment. New growth initiatives comprise of other business activities (sale of mobile service to private customers and power sale, included related services, to Alliance Partners) which are not considered separate operating segments.

1) Corporate consists of estimate deviations previous year and special revenue items. A large proportion of the Group's final settlement of sales and distribution of electricity is made after the Group has finalised its financial statements. At the date of reporting, the Group recognises electricity revenue and the associated cost of sales based on a best estimate approach. Thus, any estimate deviation related to the previous reporting period is recognised in the following reporting period. Management is of the opinion that the underlying operating profit in the reporting period should be adjusted for such estimate deviations related to previous reporting periods.

Note 2 Segment information 2) Special items consists of one-time items as follows:

*The change in provision for onerous contracts and impairment of intangible assets in Q2 2021 relates to portfolios of fixed price customer contracts in the Nordic segment.

The majority of these contracts where acquired as part of the business combination when the group acquired Troms Kraft Strøm AS (rebranded to Fjordkraft Nordic AS) and its subsidiary Switch Nordic Green AB (which has end-user operations in Sweden and Finland, through the brand Nordic Green Energy) in 2020, while the remaining are new fixed price contracts entered into with customers in the Nordic segment after the business combination.

The fixed price customer contracts acquired as part of the business combination are recognised as intangible assets (refer note 7), and depreciated systematically over the contract lengths using a pattern that reflect how the acquisition value of the contracts are distributed over the remaining length of the contracts (up to five years) (cost model in IAS 38).

New fixed price customer contracts are not recognised in the balance sheet, unless the contracts are onerous contracts.

As a result of an increase in market prices of electrical power in both Sweden and Finland, indicators of impairment has been identified and impairment charges of NOKt 290 has been recognised in the second quarter. Provisions for onerous contracts has also been increased with NOKt 150 998 and the provision amounts to a total of NOKt 203 366 at 30 June 2021.

The price risk related to fixed price customer contracts are hedged with portfolios of power derivatives, recognised as derivative financial instruments and measured at fair value through profit and loss (the group does not apply hedge accounting).

Of changes in fair value of derivative financial instruments in the second quarter, net unrealised gains of NOKt 155 670 (Q1 2021: losses of NOKt 5 825, 2020: gains of NOKt 314 869) relates to these portfolios of power derivatives, and gains of NOKt 9 007 (Q1 2021: NOKt 11 214, 2020: NOKt 16 670) relates to the groups other portfolios of power derivatives.

The net effect of impairment (negative NOKt 290), increased provisions for onerous fixed price customer contracts (negative NOKt 150 998), and the change in fair value of the corresponding portfolios of hedging contracts, is a net income/gain of NOKt 4 382 in the second quarter of 2021 (Q1 2021: 3 297, 2020: NOKt 8 371). This net effect is mainly caused by imbalance between the portfolios of customer contracts, and the corresponding portfolios of hedging contracts.

*Through the acquisition of Troms Kraft Strøm AS in November 2020, a portfolios of fixed price customer contracts were acquired. These fixed price customer contracts are depreciated systematically over the remaining life of these contracts (up to five years) using a pattern that reflects how the acquisition value of the contracts are distributed over these contract periods (cost model in IAS 38). Refer note 4 for more information regarding impairment of fixed price customer contracts.

** As part of the business combination where the group aquired Innlandskraft AS in September 2020, the group acquired Software at total NOKt 21 760. In Q4 2020 the group decided that some of this software will not be of use to the group going forward, thus an impairment of NOKt 16 930 has been recognised.

*** Disposals of NOKt 10 000 relates to sale of asset to the associated company Metzum AS.

Note 8 Trade receivables

Trade receivables

Trade receivables are amounts due from customers for goods sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business. If collection of the amounts is expected in one year or less they are classified as current assets. Trade receivables are generally due for settlement within 30 days. No interest is charged on outstanding trade receivables, unless it is past due date.

The Group always measures the loss allowance for trade receivables at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit loss (ECL). The expected credit losses on trade receivables are estimated using a provision matrix by grouping trade receivables based on reference to past default experience for the group of customers and an analysis of whether the customer is an active customer to whom the Group continues to supply goods and services to or has ceased purchasing good or services from the Group. The customer's current financial position, adjusted for factors that are specific to the customers', general economic conditions of the industry in which the customers operate and an assessment of both the current as well as the forecast direction of conditions at the reporting date, are all factors that are taken into account when measuring ECL.

To account for Covid-19 effects the Group made an additional loss allowance provision of NOKt 10 800 in 2020. After an updated assessment of credit risk due to Covid-19 in the first quarter of 2021, the additional loss allowance provision was reduced to NOKt 5 400 in Q1 2021 and has remained unchanged in the second quarter of 2021. There has been no other changes in the estimation techniques or significant assumptions made during the current and prior reporting periods.

The Group writes off a trade receivable when there is information indicating that the debtor is in severe financial difficulty and there is no realistic prospect of recovery, e.g. when the debtor has been placed under liquidation or has entered into bankruptcy proceedings, or when the trade receivables are over one years past due, whichever occurs earlier. The trade receivables that have been written off are still subject to collection processes.

The following table details the loss allowance provision recognised in trade receivables:

The movement in lifetime ECL in the first quarter is mainly due to reduction of the additional loss allowance provision related to Covid-19.

During the second quarter of 2021, changes have been made to the Group's CRM system related to write-offs. An effect of these changes is that overdue receivables previously included in loss allowance provision has been written off. Consequently the changes has lead to a reduction in the loss allowance provision and a corresponding increase in receivables written off. The effect on net impairment expense of these changes was immaterial.

During the period, the following gains/(losses) in relation to impaired receivables were recognised as other operating expenses in profit or loss:

Fair value measurements of financial instruments

This note explains the judgements and estimates made in determining the fair values of the financial instruments that are recognised and measured at fair value in the financial statements. Changes in fair value are recognised through other gains and losses, net in the consolidated statement of profit or loss. To provide an indication about the reliability of the inputs used in determining fair value, the Group has classified its financial instruments into the three levels prescribed under the accounting standards. An explanation of each level follows underneath the table.

There were no transfers between level 1 and 2 for recurring fair value measurements during the period. The Group's policy is to recognise transfers into and transfers out of fair value hierarchy levels as at the end of the reporting period.

Level 1: The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets (such as publicly traded derivatives, and trading and available-for-sale securities) is based on quoted market prices at the end of the reporting period. The quoted market price used for financial assets held by the Group is the current bid price. These instruments are included in level 1.

Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example, over-the-counter derivatives) is determined using valuation techniques which maximise the use of observable market data and rely as little as possible on entity-specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in level 2.

Level 3: If one or more of the significant inputs are not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3. This is the case for unlisted equity securities. Changes in assets and liabilities measured at fair value based on level 3 during the year are presented in the tables below.

Valuation techniques used to determine fair values

Specific valuation techniques used to value derivative financial instruments include present value of future cash flows, based on forward prices from Nasdaq OMX Commodities at the balance sheet date. In the case of material long-term contracts, the cash flows are discounted at a discount rate calculated by using interest rates on Government bonds with matching maturities, added a risk premium of 0,2 percentage points. Valuation method is used for forward contracts and option contracts associated with purchase and sale of electricity. Key inputs to the valuation are discount rates, contract- and market prices. Level 3 inputs consists of a) expected power price in price areas Bergen and Kristiansand, and b) expected power price on contracts with maturity more than five years from the reporting date, as the marked for corresponding forward contracts is considered illiquid.

The fair value of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, other non-current financial assets and trade and other payables approximate their carrying value.

Fair value of other financial instruments

The Group also has financial instruments which are not measured at fair value in the statement of financial position. For the majority of these instruments, the fair values are not materially different to their carrying amounts, since the interest receivable/ payable is either close to current market rates or the instruments are short-term in nature. There has not been identified any significant difference between fair value and carrying amount at 30 June 2021.

REPORT ON REVIEW OF INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Introduction

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statement of Fjordkraft Holding ASA. The condensed consolidated interim financial statement consists of the condensed consolidated statement of financial position as of 30 June 2021, the condensed consolidated statement of profit or loss, the condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income (loss), the condensed statement of changes in equity and the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the six-month period then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes. Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of this interim financial information in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim financial information based on our review.

Scope of Review

We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements 2410, Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs), and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying consolidated interim financial information does not present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the entity as at 30 June 2021, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the six-month period then ended in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting.

Appendix

Report Q2 2021 42 www.investor.fjordkraft.no

The alternative performance measures (abbreviated APM's) that hereby are provided by the Group are a supplement to the financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS. The APM's are based on the guidelines for APM published by the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) on or after 3rd of July 2016. As indicated in the guidelines an APM is a financial measure of historical or future financial performance, financial position, or cash flows, other than a financial measure defined or specified in the applicable financial reporting framework. The performance measures are commonly used by analysts and investors.

The Group uses the following APM's (in bold). The words written in italics are included in the list of definitions or in the statement of profit or loss.

Cash EBIT is equivalent to Operating free cash flow before tax and change in Net working capital. This APM is used to illustrate the Group's underlying cash generation in the period.

Capex excl. M&A is used to present the capital expenditures excluding mergers and acquisitions to illustrate the Group's organic maintenance capex.

EBIT reported is equivalent to Operating profit and is used to measure performance from operational activities. EBIT reported is an indicator of the company's profitability.

EBIT adjusted

In order to give a better representation of underlying performance, the following adjustments are made to the reported EBIT:

  • • Estimate deviations from previous years: A large proportion of the Group's final settlement of sales and distribution of electricity is made after the Group has finalised its financial statements. At the date of reporting, the Group recognises electricity revenue and the associated cost of sales, based on a best estimate approach. Thus, any estimate deviation related to the previous reporting period is recognised in the following reporting period
  • • Other gains and losses, net: Consist of gains and losses on derivative financial instruments associated with the purchase and sale of electricity
  • • Impairment & change in provision for onerous contracts: Consist of impairment of intangible

assets and changes in provision for onerous contracts related to fixed price customer contracts

  • • Special items: Items that are not part of the ordinary business, such as acquisition related costs and launch of new services
  • • Depreciation of acquisitions: Depreciation related to customer portfolios and acquisitions of companies. The Group has decided to report the operating profit of the segments adjusted for depreciation of acquisitions

EBIT reported margin is EBIT divided by Net revenue. This APM is a measure of the profitability and is an indicator of the earnings ability.

EBIT margin adjusted is calculated as EBIT adjusted divided by Net revenue adjusted. This APM is a measure of the profitability and is an indicator of the earnings ability.

EBITDA is defined as operational profit/loss before depreciation and amortisation. This APM is used to measure performance from operating activities.

EBITDA adjusted

In order to give a better representation of underlying performance, the following adjustments are made to EBITDA:

  • • Estimate deviations from previous years: A large proportion of the Group's final settlement of sales and distribution of electricity is made after the Group has finalised its financial statements. At the date of reporting, the Group recognises electricity revenue and the associated cost of sales based on a best estimate approach. Thus, any estimate deviation related to the previous reporting period is recognised in the following reporting period
  • • Other gains and losses, net: Consist of gains and losses on derivative financial instruments associated with the purchase and sale of electricity
  • • Impairment & change in provision for onerous contracts: Consist of impairment of intangible assets and changes in provision for onerous contracts related to fixed price customer contracts
  • • Special items: items that are not part of the ordinary business, such as acquisition related costs and launch of new services

Alternative performance measures

Gross revenue is equivalent to Revenue as stated in the statement of profit or loss.

Net income is equivalent to Profit/(loss) for the period as stated in the statement of profit or loss.

Net income adjusted for certain cash and non-cash items is used in the dividend calculation, and is defined as the following: [(Adjusted EBIT + net finance)*(1-average tax rate) – amortisation of acquisition debt]."

Net interest-bearing debt (NIBD) shows the net cash position and how much cash would remain if all interest-bearing debt was paid. The calculation is total interest-bearing liabilities deducted cash and cash equivalents.

Net revenue is equivalent to Revenue less direct cost of sales as stated in the statement of profit or loss.

Net revenue adjusted

This APM presents Net revenue adjusted for:

• Estimate deviations from previous years: A large proportion of the Group's final settlement of sales and distribution of electricity is made after the Group has finalised its financial statements. At the date of reporting, the Group recognises electricity revenue and the associated cost of sales based on a best estimate approach. Thus, any estimate deviation related to the previous reporting period is recognised in the following reporting period

• Other special revenue adjustments: which represents non-recurring income which is recognised in the profit or loss for the period

Net working capital (NWC) is used to measure short-term liquidity and the ability to utilise assets in an efficient matter. NWC includes the following items from current assets: Inventories, intangible assets, trade receivables, derivative financial instruments and other current assets (that is, all current assets in the balance sheet except cash and cash equivalents); and the following items from current liabilities; trade payables, current income tax liabilities, derivative financial instruments, social security and other taxes, lease liability - short term, and other current liabilities. First year instalments related to long term debt from acquisition is classified as interest bearing debt.

Non-cash NWC elements and other items is used when analysing the development in NIBD. Non-cash NWC relates to items included in "change in NWC" that are not affecting Net interest-bearing debt while other items include interest, tax, change in long-term receivables, proceeds from non-current receivables, proceeds from other long-term liabilities and adjustments made on EBITDA.

Number of deliveries is used to present the number of electrical meters supplied with electricity. One customer may have one or more electricity deliveries.

OpFCF before tax and change in NWC is Operating free cash flow and change in working capital, and is defined as EBITDA adjusted less Capex excl. M&A and payments to obtain contract assets.

Volume sold is used to present the underlying volume generating income in the period.
