Strong revenue increase driven by high prices (+76.3 million euro; thereof revenue skimming due to price caps of 23.5 million euro) and new acquisitions (+23.8 million euro)
High prices in PV justified revamping investments in German solar parks which incurred additional expenses of -6.4 million euro resulting in an EBITDA margin w/o price caps result at 80% slightly below previous year
High interest environment resulted in extraordinary depreciation of solar parks in the amount of 41.1 million euro and in a reduced EBIT margin. These extraordinary depreciations reduce future depreciation.

Our wind and solar plants for the generation of Renewable Energy continue to be the focus of our buy & hold strategy
Higher earnings and cash returns are the key drivers of our value-enhancing investment policy across all cycles
Higher absolute returns despite rising CAPEX volumes
Focus on long-term power purchase agreements (PPAs) of 10 years and more

The planned investment volume of 3.9 billion euros covers the purchase of the project rights of the cumulative 5.5 GW as well as the construction of 3.7 GW of these generation capacities
60% of this volume is to be covered by non-recourse project financing: 2.4 billion euros
The share of own resources for the financing is thus 1.5 billion euros
Of this, 0.2 billion euros will be provided by minority shareholders at park level
The remaining 1.3 billion euros will be financed over the course of the five planning years, i.e., around 260 million euros per year
The Group relieves the balance sheet in the planning period through repayments of 150 million euros p.a. at the SPV level
At the same time, the Group's equity will be strengthened by releasing the currently very high hedge reserves
Despite the increased indebtedness the Group maintains the equity target ratio of >24%
