Guidance 2024e
- » Guidance 20241 is based on the existing portfolio, the recent significant drop in electricity prices in the markets and in anticipation of standard weather conditions:
- » Net Operating Revenue: > EUR 460 million (+2% vs. 2023)
- » Operating EBITDA: > EUR 300 million (-6% vs. 2023)
- » Operating EBIT: > EUR 175 million (-10% vs. 2023)
- » Operating Cash Flow: > EUR 260 million (+11% vs. 2023)
- » Impact from price headwinds offset through growth in the service segments and capacity additions. However, resulting EBITDA margin is lower at Group level, due to the lower margin of service segments and increased costs from capacity additions. The margins of the wind and solar segments remain in excess of 75%.
- » ENCAVIS remains on its solid mid-term growth path due to its "Accelerated Growth Strategy 2027" despite the current uncertain market environment.

Project development outsourced to benefit from the low-risk structure of the investment over time (wind & solar)

USP of Strategic Development Partnerships (SDP) finally results in: "Cherry picking from the cake of exclusivity" of a pipeline volume of ~ 3.2 GW PV
- » Encavis has currently 14 Strategic Development Partners across Europe, further ones are being onboarded
- » Regional diversity and local connectivity throughout Europe especially in rural areas is a prerequisite of successful development processes
- » Standardisation of processes reduces transaction costs
- » The Development Partners develop the projects for Encavis at a pre-agreed return (IRR)
- » Projects failing to reach RTB within a defined time frame are replaced by the SDPs

Financing Structure of Encavis' Strategic Development Partnerships

» Onboarding of new projects for a reservation fee of 4-5' EUR/MW secures exclusive access to the selected/picked projects of the SDP:
and secured more than 1.4 GW of projects that are already exclusively owned by Encavis
» Reservation fee represents less than 1% (exactly 0.7%) of total investment volume:
700–750' EUR/MW x 1.400 MW = 1.040 million corresponds to 260 million p.a. (2023–2027)
PPA origination, financing, and construction timing according to Encavis' requirements
The "Golden End" of ENCAVIS' power plants: Illustration of the different cash flows of a solar park (PV)
As the loan is paid-off during the price-fixing-period, parks are very profitable in the "Golden End"

Assumptions
Solar-park connected to the grid in 2010 with FIT for 20 years (t20)
Park was bought in Q2 2011, 2012 first fullyear of operation (t2)
Non-recourse project financing with fixed interest rate will be serviced and paid-off by the park
We continue to stand by our disciplined and selective investment criteria and deliver higher income and returns across all cycles
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
Significantly increasing internal rates of return (IRR) with increasing margin mark-up on the cost of capital (WACC)
Encavis Accelerated Growth Strategy 2027 (incl. KKR uplift)

State-of-the-art infrastructure and technology result in stability, reliability and compelling reasons for investors to invest in ENCAVIS
Investment grade rating BBB–/positive outlook (SCOPE),
Proven resilience to crisis (CoVid-19, Russian war, inflation, interest rate increase, recession)
Revenue and earnings increase (9Y/CAGR ~22%) with constant margins, strong equity ratio
Defensive business model, a strong market position & a conservative risk management
Diversified portfolio (# of parks, technology, countries, compensation system)
Almost NO energy price risk with <6% of revenue guidance for next year
Almost no counterparty risks regarding offtakers
Strictly non-recourse financing of SPVs
Secured revenue based on FiT and PPA
No base load tariffs, only pay-as-produced

Corporate Carbon Footprint again significantly reduced in 2022
Carbon emissions by Scope (in t CO2e) Scope of the climate balance

In calculating our emissions in 2022, we took into account all wind and solar parks of Encavis AG as well as all wind and solar parks managed by Encavis Asset Management AG. Further, we included all emissions from our offices in Hamburg and Neubiberg and from our vehicle fleet.
In 2022 we were able to reduce the total corporate carbon footprint by approximately 31%, from 474,907 tonnes in 2021 to 326,437 tonnes of CO2e.
Scope 1 (direct carbon emissions, e.g. fuel consumption of Company vehicles) and Scope 2 (e.g. purchased power) emissions account for less than 1% of our total emissions. In 2022 we were able to reduce the Scope 2 emissions by 94% (for example by using green electricity for our offices).
Approximately 99% of our emissions are related to the Scope 3 category (upstream and downstream supply chain and other indirect emissions). We were able to reduce them by 31% from 471,581 tonnes to 326,018 tonnes of CO2e from 2021 to 2022.
ENCAVIS' roadmap to full climate neutrality by 2040

Encavis' measures to eliminate emissions
Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions will be completely eliminated by 2030. This includes emissions from the Company's vehicles, which are to be fully electric by 2030. The electricity and heat consumed by the Company's offices and the electricity used to operate its wind and solar power plants will also be generated exclusively from Renewable Energy sources by 2030.
Scope 3 emission intensity is to be cut by 95% by 2040. In order, to reduce these Scope 3 emissions, which currently account for 99% of ENCAVIS' total emissions, the Company is working with suppliers and business partners along the entire value chain to find solutions that will help to achieve the goal of carbon neutrality by 2040.
