Magnora ASA Q1: Growth in sales and portfolio continues

required to be disclosed under the laws of a member state

16 April 2024: Magnora, a Norwegian renewable energy development company,

releases its financial report for the first quarter of 2024.

Highlights from the quarter:

* Magnora's portfolio of renewable projects reached 9.1 GW, all through organic

growth.

* Helios's Swedish project pipeline grew to 10 GW. To date, Helios has divested

approximately 1 GW of solar PV projects. Magnora ASA owns 40 percent of

Helios.

* Fast growth in Finland with Helios Nordic Energy Finland Oy building a

portfolio of above 1.8 GW in Q1.

* Helios delivered the first large-scale pv project on Gotland to Nordic Solar

AS: a 40 MW ready-to-build project with all necessary permits and a grid

connection agreement.

* Magnora South Africa continues to grow its pipeline, passing 3 GW during Q1.

A total of 278 MW was sold during 2023, with related milestone payments

expected in 2024.

* On 7 March 2024, Magnora made a capital distribution of NOK 0.187 per share.

Technically, Magnora repays paid-in capital in excess of the share's par

value, which can offer a tax advantage for some shareholders in certain

jurisdictions.

* Hafslund Magnora Sol AS (Norway) signed a series of new land-lease agreements

and progressed grid applications, environmental impact assessments and

consenting work. The technical capacity of the portfolio is now above 900 MW

split between more than 20 projects.

* Net cash generated from operating activities was negative NOK 22.6 million

due to high activity in the quarter.

* At the end of Q1, cash and cash equivalents decreased NOK 39.6 million to NOK

308.0 million mostly due to the Group returning capital to shareholders,

funding to Magnora Offshore Wind, Kustvind and Magnora UK PV.

On 15 April, the board resolved to substitute the periodic dividend with an

extraordinary dividend: subject to AGM approval, Magnora will transfer 70 per

cent of its legacy business (aka Hermana Holding ASA) to shareholders.

The first quarter report and presentation are attached to this announcement. The

report can also be found on: https://magnoraasa.com/investors

The company will host a webcast presentation at 10:00 CET this morning, which
