16.11.2021 07:00:00 CET | Magnora ASA | Additional regulated information
required to be disclosed under the laws of a member state
16 November 2021. Magnora, a Norwegian renewable energy development company,
releases its financial report for the third quarter 2021.
"Magnora has expanded its core team during the quarter with people from leading
positions and well recognized in the market for their competence within solar
and offshore wind", says Executive Chairman Torstein Sanness.
Highlights:
* Additional investments were made by Magnora in line with achieved business
plan milestones, increasing ownerships in Kustvind AB and Helios AB to 30
percent and 40 percent respectively
* Magnora Offshore Wind ("MOW") submitted applications to the ScotWind
licensing round for two areas in Scotland. The company has received positive
feedback from local stakeholders during the fall and is considering several
other interesting opportunities. Currently, MOW is in several other promising
partner and ownership discussions
* Magnora's SPV in South Africa progressed with construction of access roads,
installation of wind met masts, and the start of wind measurement campaign
* Helios reached its 1GW solar PV development project portfolio goal six months
ahead of original schedule and has started the sale process of two of the
projects totalling 68 MW, which is expected to close in first quarter 2022.
The company has received good interest for its other projects from potential
buyers of ready-to-build projects. Helios is in advanced discussions
regarding development and sale of two additional projects as well.
Electricity prices remain record high in the Nordic region and there is
growing interest for solar projects in the area
* Magnora entered into a collaboration agreement with Prime Capital and Troms
Kraft for the development of a green maritime fuel production facility in
Tromsø which qualified for Enova funding
* Magnora and Evolar presented the Perovskite technology for increased solar PV
efficiency at Pareto Securities' Energy conference in September and the
Pareto Clean Tech seminar in Stockholm in October
* Evolar has increased market activities and signed multiple NDAs with
potential partners and customers. In addition, the company has had good
technical progress during the quarter. There is also a growing interest from
financial advisors and investors around perovskite and Evolar. Magnora will
consider increasing its ownership in Evolar during the current quarter
* The third quarter had slightly higher operating costs than the previous
quarter, largely due to increased business development activities, bonus
payment, development of Magnora Offshore Wind AS and the Magnora SPV in South
Africa with wind measurement campaigns
* Adjusted EBITDA for third quarter 2021 was negative NOK 3.2 million
* According to media, the Penguins FPSO sail-away is expected to be in March
2022 and Western Isles will soon commence development work which potentially
can increase revenues going forward.
* Magnora established a 50 MNOK credit line with a leading tier 1 Nordic bank
which currently is undrawn.
