2. Management discussion and analysis

2.1 A note from the management board

This last quarter of the year was the best quarter in the Group's history in terms of revenue, with record revenues and EBITDA for all of 2021. This financial performance in the fourth quarter underscores the progress we have made across all our business lines.

In Australia, we have been successful in our project development efforts, with an agreement kickstarting the development of our first project based on the RayGen technology, which combines concentrated solar, photovoltaics and energy storage through the use of water. This project in South Australia is the largest that we are developing to date, and it is planned to have a generation capacity of 300 MWp together with an energy storage capacity of 3.6 GWh, which would make it the largest renewable energy storage project in the world.

Our components distribution business line has taken on several new suppliers and added batteries to its offering. As a result, we saw very dynamic growth in Q4.

In 2021, we managed to expand our proprietary portfolio of power plants. The main addition has been Australia: in Leeton, New South Wales, we completed and connected two power plants with a combined capacity of 14.6 MWp in August. These two power plants are not only our first utility-scale power plants in the southern hemisphere, mitigating the seasonality of our business in Q4, but are also the first projects to sell electricity at market prices, meaning that they are not dependent on any kind of support mechanism. In December, we also connected our first European power plant to sell electricity on a market basis. Located in Hungary, the plant has a capacity of 1.4 MWp. Given the growth in energy prices across Europe, selling electricity into the market is a core part of our strategy, and we believe that this is the right way of building and operating power plants going forward.

As to our presence on capital markets, the fourth quarter of 2021 has been very exciting with the placement of our third EUR bond in November. This is the first of our bonds to be rated as 'green bond', which means that we comply with a wide suite of ESG criteria. With this bond issuance, we managed to convince many of the holders of our existing bond to convert their bondholdings to the new green bond, and we also managed to win many new institutional investors. Most importantly the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development has come on board with a significant investment.

Looking ahead to 2022, we see many more opportunities for growth. One very exciting area that will support all our business lines is the significant interest in 'behind-the-meter' projects. In reaction to growing energy prices, many commercial users of electricity are looking for ways to reduce their energy bills. For some of these commercial customers, we will also be providing solutions offered by Photon Water to address their water needs. This fits perfectly with our strategy to combine renewable energy and clean water in solutions for users of both.

Financial results

The Group posted an all-time Q4 revenue record of EUR 11.734 million (+130.3% YoY), thanks to a remarkable 77.5% increase in revenues from the sale of electricity generated by our growing proprietary portfolio, while other revenue streams increased by 156.6% YOY. During the quarter, the revenues connected to our 14.6 MWp utility-scale projects in Australia contributed to further increase our recurring revenues and also mitigated the seasonality of our business, historically weaker in Q1 and Q4 due to the European winter. Other revenues were driven by a sound procurement strategy, which allowed us to secure components volumes at competitive prices and enabled us to fulfil the demand during a period marked by shortages caused by global supply chain interruptions. In addition, other revenues benefited from a great momentum around EPC revenues in Australia.

As a result, this strong business performance led to a record Q4 EBITDA of EUR 1.030 million compared to a negative Q4 EBITDA of -1.026 million a year ago. During this quarter, the Group continued to record higher expansion-driven overheads, which are crucial investments for the development of existing business lines as well as new activities. In 2021, we were able to expand our project development pipeline in Hungary, Poland and Romania to 490 MWp (approximately 291 MWp added since December 2020). One project was commissioned during the reporting period in Tolna, Hungary, and construction began another in the same location. Project development is the foundation from which we will raise our income-generating asset base in the medium- and long-term, driving future growth in recurring electricity-generation revenues, other comprehensive income generated upon plant commissioning according to IAS 16, and capital gains related to project development for resale.

The increased depreciation resulting from the new power plants connected in Australia and Hungary over the past 12 months (14.1 MWp and 1.4 MWp respectively), combined with the positive impact of the sale of our Maryvale project, partially offset by other impairment charges connected to our Slovak portfolio, led to a EUR -0.771 million EBIT in Q4 2021 compared to EUR -2.877 million one year ago, representing a significant improvement for a traditionally weak Q4.

Increasing interest expenses amounting to EUR -1.846 million (+22.7% YoY) connected to our Green bond placement were offset by a positive revaluation of derivatives compared to the same period last year (EUR 1.412 million in Q4 2021 vs EUR 0.097 million in Q4 2020).

As a consequence net profit significantly improved, though it remained in the red with a net loss of EUR -0.871 million in Q4 2021 compared to EUR -4.361 million a year ago.

The effects of a positive revaluation difference related to our newly connected Hungarian power plant in Tolna (EUR 0.419 million), a positive revaluation of our Hungarian and Slovak derivatives (EUR 2.467 million), a positive EUR 1.235 million FX revaluation of the Czech Crown, the impact of a result neutral reclassification related to our investment in Raygen in the amount of EUR 1.242 million to the financial result and a positive revaluation of our investment in Lerta (EUR 0.336 million) resulted in a total comprehensive income (TCI) of EUR 1.308 million comparing to EUR 0.922 million a year earlier.

Year-to-date, the Group's revenues increased by 28.7% to hit a record EUR 36.359 million, while EBITDA improved to EUR 9.584 million (+13.6% YoY). EBIT contracted to EUR -0.862 million (compared to EUR -0.142 million in 2020).

Photon Energy Group recorded a net loss of EUR -6.313 million compared to EUR -8.693 million in 2020 whereas the TCI amounted to EUR 2.427 million compared to EUR 2.084 million a year ago.

Other key highlights for the fourth quarter of 2021 up to the reporting date are detailed below:

Photon Energy to develop 300 MW / 3.6 GWh RayGen solar storage project in Australia

During the reporting period, the Group secured 1,200 hectares of land in South Australia to develop the world's largest solar energy storage project to date.

Based on preliminary designs, Photon Energy will develop a solar generation capacity of 300 MW with a grid connection capacity of 150 MW. The target storage energy storage capacity is 3.6 GWh, equivalent to 24 hours of full load to the grid from storage. This will exceed the 3 GWh capacity of the Ouarzazate Solar Power Station in Morocco, which currently has the world's largest energy storage capacity of any type, excluding pumped hydro.

Photon Energy has commenced the permitting and grid-connection processes and expects to reach the ready-to-build stage by the end of 2023.

RayGen has closed its Series C capital raise for AUD 55 million where Photon Energy participated alongside AGL Energy, Schlumberger New Energy, Chevron Technology Ventures and Equinor Ventures. RayGen is currently building a 4 MW / 50 MWh solar energy-plus-storage plant in Carwarp, Victoria, Australia due for completion in mid-2022.

Photon Energy Group successfully places first green bond in the amount of 55 million euros

On 17 November, The Company successfully placed its 6.50% Green EUR Bond 2021/2027 (ISIN: DE000A3KWKY4) in the amount of EUR 50 million. The bond issuance has been met with strong demand from the Company's existing bondholders, who subscribed to EUR 21.281 million in the exchange that was offered for the existing EUR Bond 2017/2022, reducing the outstanding amount of this bond to EUR 23.719 million. The new green bond also attracted numerous new private and institutional investors across Europe, including the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development ('EBRD').

On 29 November, the Company decided to increase the nominal value of the 6.50% Photon Energy Green EUR Bond 2021/27 from EUR 50 to 55 million which has been fully placed with the EBRD.

The green bond – with a 2027 maturity and an interest rate of 6.50% p.a., paid quarterly – was confirmed by imug | rating with regards to its sustainability in a Second Party Opinion, and is traded on the Open Market of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange and other local German stock exchanges.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Green bond placement to finance or refinance, in part or in whole, new and/or existing eligible assets, as well as financial instruments that were used to finance such projects or assets, in accordance with the Company's Green Finance Framework, enabling Photon Energy Group to make a significant contribution to an environmentally friendly future.

Photon Energy Group connects first merchant PV power plant for its IPP portfolio in Europe

In December, the Group completed and grid-connected a PV power plant with a capacity of 1.4 MWp near the municipality of Tolna. This latest addition expands the Company's portfolio of proprietary power plants in Hungary to a total of 62, with a combined capacity of 50.4 MWp. Globally, the Company now owns and operates 87 power plants with a combined capacity of 90.5 MWp.

The new power plant represents the first European utility-scale PV power plant in the Photon Energy Group's proprietary portfolio that the Company will operate without a support scheme. The total annual production of the power plant is expected to be around 2.1 GWh, which corresponds to expected annual revenues of EUR 420,000 based on current forward prices for electricity base load in Hungary in 2022. The total investment into the development and construction of the power plant was EUR 1.0 million and represents the first investment from the proceeds of Photon Energy Group's Green bond.

The new power plant extends over 2.2 hectares, uses bi-facial PV modules mounted on single-axis trackers and is connected to the grid of E.ON Dél-dunántúli Áramhálózati Zrt.. The Company developed the project fully in-house, delivered engineering, procurement and construction services and will provide long-term monitoring, operations and maintenance services to the power plant.

Photon Energy Group sells 160 MWp solar PV project to WIRSOL

In December, the Company sold its 65% stake in its 160 MWp solar PV power project in Maryvale, New South Wales, to the global renewable energy group WIRSOL. The Maryvale Solar Farm is located in the NSW Central-West Orana Renewable Energy Zone, which is earmarked to unlock up to 3 GW of network capacity by the mid-2020s.

By the transaction Photon Energy Group immediately realised a capital gain in the amount of EUR 0.5 million, which was reflected in the Group's Q4 2021 financial statements. In addition, the agreement foresees another two milestone-related payments for the Company upon successful completion and commissioning of the project by the Investor.

Following the project exit, Photon Energy Group plans to fully focus its future project development activities in Australia on large utilityscale projects based on the unique RayGen technology that combines PV Ultra solar co-generation and electro-thermal energy storage technologies.

Photon Energy repays project financing of Czech PV portfolio

In December, the Company early repaid the remaining project financing of its Czech PV portfolio provided by Raiffeisen - Leasing, s.r.o. (RL). The project financing for a total installed capacity of 12.3 MWp had been originally provided by RL's predecessor in 2009 and 2010 and was due on 1 January 2023. The remaining outstanding principal accrued interest and expected break fees as of 30 December 2021 amounted to approximately CZK 288.65 million (EUR 11.57 million) and were repaid by a combination of the cash balances (partially restricted) held by the project companies (CZK 116.40 million, EUR 4.66 million) and loans provided by the Group to the project companies totalling CZK 172.25 million (EUR 6.91 million). In January 2022, the Group exercised its call options and took legal ownership of 100% of the equity of the project companies. The cash injection into this transaction has been financed by the equity raised during the placement of treasury shares organized in June 2021.

Depending on market conditions, or should the need arise, Photon Energy Group could arrange new project financing for the Czech PV portfolio in order to either service group-level financial debt and/or to finance the expansion of its proprietary portfolio.

Photon Energy Group leads series A equity round in Lerta

In December, the Company has been the lead investor along two other investors in Lerta S.A.'s series A equity financing round, investing PLN 8.75 million (EUR 1.89 million) and increasing its ownership stake from 12% to 24%.

Lerta raised a total of PLN 12.75 million in new equity. Photon Energy Group's new investment goes together with the Company's deepening cooperation with Lerta in the areas of electricity trading for the Company's utility-scale PV power plant portfolio, an integrated approach to the booming behind-the-meter market segment combining on-site energy generation, electricity trading and VPP services and jointly exploring new business models in the dynamically developing energy market.

Since Photon Energy Group's first investment in December 2020 Lerta has obtained electricity trading licenses in Poland, Hungary, Romania and the Czech Republic and managed to expand its presence on the Polish capacity market to over 50 MW of demand side response (DSR) assets under management.

The new capital will be allocated to the development of Lerta's Virtual Power Plant in Poland and to the growth of operations in its new markets within the CEE region, where the company will work closely with the Photon Energy Group.

2.2 Strategy and its execution

The Group's focus for future growth lays on the established Australian and Hungarian markets and the newly added Polish and Romanian markets for the expansion of PV generation capacity. Further markets in Central Europe, Central and South America, the Middle East, and Africa remain under the Group's investigation.

The Group also intends to continue to disrupt and transform the PV industry. This is illustrated by the recent strategic investments concluded with RayGen, a company specialized in high efficiency concentrated PV generation with thermal absorption and storage, and with Lerta at the end of the reporting period, developing Virtual Power Plant technologies and energy market services.

In addition, the Group's focus remains on the expansion of operations & maintenance (O&M) solutions in Central Europe and Australia and selective entry to new markets following its customers, and the development of various water treatment technologies and the preparation for their commercialization.

The Group's strategic goals include:

  • ► An increase in the production of clean energy by expanding the Group's global electricity generation capacity of the proprietary portfolio of photovoltaic power plants;
  • ► the acquisition of new PV projects to develop, design and construct them for the proprietary portfolio supporting the growth of recurring revenue streams from clean electricity generation with a clear focus on Australia, Hungary, Poland and Romania;
  • ► the expansion of the PPA-business and construction of commercial "behind-the-meter" PV projects for industrial customers and off-takers in Australia and in Europe;
  • ► the Group intends to compete for PV projects, which aim to address the needs for provision of clean energy in locations which require a tailor-made approach to design complete energy systems, which would combine generation of clean energy with energy storage solutions; such PV projects require an integrated approach in the application of PV technology;
  • ► the provision of O&M services allowing PV power plants to run smoothly at high generation levels and increasing revenues while reducing risks for the Group's customers;
  • ► the procurement and trading of PV components through cooperation with PV technology manufacturers; and
  • ► the remediation of contaminated sites and ground water pollution deploying water treatment technologies with a focus on PFAS nano-remediation solutions.

O&M services

Photon Energy remained focused on delivering Operations & Maintenance services. As of the end of Q4 2021, full O&M services contracts amounted to approximately 249.1 MWp (+0.8% YOY). This can be broken down geographically into 125.8 MWp operated in the Czech Republic, 77.1 MWp in Hungary, 15.3 MWp in Slovakia, 24.1 MWp in Australia, 4.0 MWp in Romania and 2.9 MWp in Poland, where the Group signed its first O&M contracts during the reporting period. The O&M portfolio divides into 158.6 MWp serviced for external clients and 90.5 MWp of PV capacity from the proprietary portfolio.

As far as the "Inverter Cardio" services contracts are concerned, the Group is servicing 62.2 MWp of central inverters (unchanged compared to last year). In detail, at the end of Q4 2021, the total capacity of central inverters serviced can be divided regionally into 21.3 MWp in France, 14.0 MWp in Italy, 10.2 MWp in Belgium, 7.5 MWp in the Czech Republic, 5.5 MWp in Slovakia, 2.0 MWp in Slovenia and 1.8 MWp in Germany. In some countries like France or Germany the Group is holding a leading market position while in Belgium in particular, the Group is servicing all of the Satcon inverters ever installed.

2.5 Reporting on Photon Energy's project pipeline

Project development is a crucial activity in Photon Energy's business model of covering the entire value chain of PV power plants. The main objective of project development activities is to expand the PV proprietary portfolio, which provides recurring revenues and free cash flows to the Group. For financial or strategic reasons Photon Energy may decide to cooperate with third-party investors either on a joint-venture basis or with the goal of exiting the projects to such investors entirely. Ownership of project rights provides Photon Energy with a high level of control and allows locking in EPC (one-off) and O&M (long-term) services. Hence, project development is a key driver for Photon Energy's future growth. The Group's experience in project development and financing in the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Germany, Italy and Hungary is an important factor in selecting attractive markets and reducing the inherent risks related to project development.

Photon Energy is currently developing PV projects in Australia (300.0 MWp), Hungary (95.2 MWp), Romania (225.5 MWp) and Poland (169.3 MWp) and is evaluating further markets for opportunities.

PV projects have two definitions of capacity. The grid connection capacity is expressed as the maximum of kilowatts or megawatts which can be fed into the grid at any point in time. Electricity grids run on alternating current (AC). Solar modules produce direct current (DC), which is transformed into AC by inverters. Heat, cable lines, inverters and transformers lead to energy losses in the system be-tween the solar modules and the grid connection point. Cumulatively system losses typically add up to 15-20%. Therefore, for a given grid connection capacity a larger module capacity (expressed in Watt peak – Wp) can be installed without exceeding the grid connection limit. At times of extremely high production, inverters can reduce the volume of electricity so that the plant stays within the grid connection limits. Photon Energy will refer to the installed DC capacity of projects expressed in Megawatt peak (MWp) in its reporting, which might fluctuate over the project development process.

1 Contr.-for-Diff stands for 'Contract for difference' and is a revenue model in form of electricity sales on the electricity spot market plus the compensation of the difference to a guaranteed Feed-in-Tariff.

Australia

During the reporting period, Photon Energy had two large scale solar farms under development.

Maryvale Project (160 MWp): During the reporting period, the Group sold its 65% stake in Maryvale Solar Farm Pty. Ltd., the project company which is holding all project rights and has obtained Development Approval for the 125 MW AC PV power plant project, which enables to install up to 160 MWp DC capacity, in Maryvale, to the global renewable energy group WIRSOL.

Maryvale Solar Farm is located in the NSW Central-West Orana Renewable Energy Zone, which is earmarked to unlock up to 3 GW of network capacity by the mid-2020s.

By the transaction Photon Energy realised a capital gain in the amount of EUR 0.5 million which is reflected in the Group's Q4 2021 financial statements. In addition the agreement foresees further two milestone related payments for Photon Energy upon successful completion and connection of the project by the new investor.

With exiting this development project Photon Energy will fully focus its future development efforts in Australia for large scale projects on combined generation and storage projects based on RayGen Technology.

In November 2021, the Group secured 1,200 hectares of land in South Australia to develop a 300 MWp solar farm suitable for Ray-Gen's solar technology in combination with its energy storage solution.

Development status Raygen project (300 MWp): Based on preliminary designs, Photon Energy will develop a solar generation capacity of 300 MWp with a grid connection capacity of 150 MW. The target storage energy storage capacity is 3.6 GWh, equivalent to 24 hours of full load, to the grid, from storage. This will exceed the 3 GWh capacity of the Ouarzazate Solar Power Station in Morocco, which currently has the world's largest energy storage capacity of any type, excluding pumped hydro.

Photon Energy has commenced the permitting and grid-connection processes and expects to reach the ready-to-build stage in Q4 2023.

RayGen recently closed its Series C capital raise for AUD 55 million where Photon Energy participated alongside AGL Energy, Schlumberger New Energy, Chevron Technology Ventures, Equinor Ventures and other investors. RayGen is currently building a 4 MW / 50 MWh solar energy-plus-storage plant in Carwarp, Victoria, Australia due for completion in mid-2022.

Hungary

Below is a short summary of projects and progress achieved in the reporting period.

Tolna (27.3 MWp in development, 1.4 MWp project commissioned on 9 December 2021): The thirteen projects with a total planned installed DC capacity of 28.6 MWp are located in the Tolna region in the south of Hungary. Two power plants have a grid connection capacity of 5.0 MW AC each, whereas 1 MW AC have been secured for each of the remaining eleven projects. The grid connection points have been secured and the negotiations for suitable land plots have been finalized for several projects. Grid connection plans have been initiated and already partially approved, to allow us to conclude grid connection agreements with E.ON. with a validity of two years.

On 8 December 2020, one of the 1MW AC (approx. 1.4 MWp DC) projects was granted a METAR premium of 24,470 HUF/MWh (approx. EUR 68 per MWh) with a maximum supported production of 21,585 MWh over a period of up to 15 years. This achievement results from the approval of the project application to the first pilot tender for the METAR system organized in September 2019. Three other projects have entered into advanced development after securing the binding extraction and construction permits. Construction started for two of the projects with one of them commissioned on 9 December 2021 (please see details below).

The revenue model will be the direct sale of electricity through a trader on the Hungarian electricity market for the time being. The option to still enter into a contract-for-difference based on a METÁR license (for the project that has proven successful through the auction process) or entering into PPAs in the future, remains in place. Construction plans include the use of tracking technology allowing bi-facial solar modules to follow the course of the sun, which are expected to achieve a 15-20% higher specific performance than fixed installations.

Now the team has solidified grid capacity, land, and a commercial structure, the projects will continue to take shape as they move towards construction and realization.

► On 9 December 2021, we have completed and grid-connected the first photovoltaic power plant with a capacity of 1.4 MWp near the municipality of Tolna. This latest addition expands the Company's portfolio of proprietary power plants in Hungary to a total of 62, with a combined capacity of 50.5 MWp. Globally, the Company now owns and operates 87 power plants with a combined capacity of 90.5 MWp.

The new power plant represents the first European utilityscale PV power plant in Photon Energy Group's IPP portfolio that the Company will operate without a support scheme. The total annual production of the power plant is expected to be around 2.1 GWh, which corresponds to expected annual revenues of EUR 420,000 based on current forward prices for electricity base load in Hungary in 2022. Given the power plant's electricity production profile, there is potential for even higher revenues in 2022.

The new power plant extends over 2.2 hectares, uses bi-facial PV modules mounted on single-axis trackers and is connected to the grid of E.ON Dél-dunántúli Áramhálózati Zrt..

The electricity is sold on the national electricity market on a merchant basis. This means no power purchase agreements (PPAs) have been entered into by the Company. However, they may play a role in the plant's future revenue management strategy, alongside other hedging options.

The Company developed the project fully in-house and delivered engineering, procurement and construction services through its subsidiary Photon Energy Solutions HU Kft. Photon Energy Operations HU Kft. – another of the Group's subsidiaries – will provide long-term monitoring, operations and maintenance services to the power plant.

2.8. Financial statement analysis

Profit and Loss statement

The Group posted an all-time Q4 revenue record of EUR 11.734 million (+130.3% YoY), thanks to a remarkable 77.5% increase in revenues from the sale of electricity generated by our growing proprietary portfolio, while other revenue streams increased by 156.6% YOY. During the quarter, the revenues connected to our 14.6 MWp utility-scale projects in Australia contributed to further increase our recurring revenues and also mitigated the seasonality of our business, historically weaker in Q1 and Q4 due to the European winter. Other revenues were driven by a sound procurement strategy, which allowed us to secure components volumes at competitive prices and enabled us to fulfil the demand during a period marked by shortages caused by global supply chain interruptions. In addition, other revenues benefited from a great momentum around EPC revenues in Australia.

As a result, this strong business performance led to a record Q4 EBITDA of EUR 1.030 million compared to a negative Q4 EBITDA of -1.026 million a year ago. During this quarter, the Group continued to record higher expansion-driven overheads, which are crucial investments for the development of existing business lines as well as new activities. In 2021, we were able to expand our project development pipeline in Hungary, Poland and Romania to 490 MWp (approximately 291 MWp added since December 2020). One project was commissioned during the reporting period in Tolna, Hungary, and construction began another in the same location. Project development is the foundation from which we will raise our income-generating asset base in the medium- and long-term, driving future growth in recurring electricity-generation revenues, other comprehensive income generated upon plant commissioning according to IAS 16, and capital gains related to project development for resale.

The increased depreciation resulting from the new power plants connected in Australia and Hungary over the past 12 months (14.1 MWp and 1.4 MWp respectively), combined with the positive impact of the sale of our Maryvale project, partially offset by other impairment charges connected to our Slovak portfolio, led to a EUR -0.771 million EBIT in Q4 2021 compared to EUR -2.877 million one year ago, representing a significant improvement for a traditionally weak Q4.

Increasing interest expenses amounting to EUR -1.846 million (+22.7% YoY) connected to our Green bond placement were offset by a positive revaluation of derivatives compared to the same period last year (EUR 1.412 million in Q4 2021 vs EUR 0.097 million in Q4 2020).

As a consequence net profit significantly improved, though it remained in the red with a net loss of EUR -0.871 million in Q4 2021 compared to EUR -4.361 million a year ago.

The effects of a positive revaluation difference related to our newly connected Hungarian power plant in Tolna (EUR 0.419 million), a positive revaluation of our Hungarian and Slovak derivatives (EUR 2.467 million), a positive EUR 1.235 million FX revaluation of the Czech Crown, the impact of a result neutral reclassification related to our investment in Raygen in the amount of EUR 1.242 million to the financial result and a positive revaluation of our investment in Lerta (EUR 0.336 million) resulted in a total comprehensive income (TCI) of EUR 1.308 million comparing to EUR 0.922 million a year earlier.

Year-to-date, the Group's revenues increased by 28.7% to hit a record EUR 36.359 million, while EBITDA improved to EUR 9.584 million (+13.6% YoY). EBIT contracted to EUR -0.862 million (compared to EUR -0.142 million in 2020).

Photon Energy Group recorded a net loss of EUR -6.313 million compared to EUR -8.693 million in 2020 whereas the TCI amounted to EUR 2.427 million compared to EUR 2.084 million a year ago.

Chart 7. Revenues, EBITDA and EBITDA margin

The data presented above are based on published quarterly reports, with figures adjusted to be consistent with the annual audited figures for 2020 made available after the publication of the 4th quarter.

Balance Sheet

Switching to the balance sheet, Total fixed assets amounted to EUR 142.314 million at the end of Q4 2021, representing an increase of 5.4% compared to the end of 2020. This development is mainly connected to the addition of our two new power plants in Leeton, our power plant in Tolna, additional equity investment in RayGen and in Lerta in 2021, and the revaluation of the previous investments made at the occasion of both companies' capital increases.

Current assets increased by 125.9% compared to the end of 2020 to EUR 53.874 million as of the end of Q4 2021, resulting primarily from an increase in Liquid assets from EUR 14.290 million to EUR 39.362 million further to the placement of our EUR Green bond in November 2021.

Long term liabilities increased by 6.5% compared to the end of 2020 to EUR 110.329 million at the end of Q4 2021, due to an increase in bank loans related to the refinancing drawdowns for our power plants in Hungary in accordance with financing plans, the early repayment of loans related to our Czech portfolio, the placement of our EUR Green bond, the reclassification of our 2017/22 EUR bond to current liabilities, as due for less than one year.

Changes in equity

Equity increased by 29.3% compared to the end of 2020 and amounted to EUR 51.830 million at the end of Q4 2021, reflecting the Total Comprehensive Income for the period and the placement of treasury shares in Q2 2021. The adjusted equity ratio remained stable at 28.8% (vs. 28.9% at the end of 2020).

Cash Flow

In Q4 2021, the Group posted a positive operating cash flow, which amounted to EUR 4.651 million, compared to EUR 0.790 million in Q4 2020, mainly driven by adjustments in the net working capital and the positive EBITDA of the period..

2.9 Financial forecasts

The Company does not publish financial forecasts.

Current liabilities amounted to EUR 34.027 million at the end of Q4 2021, corresponding to a 123.8% increase compared to the end of 2020, mainly due to the reclassification of our 2017/22 EUR bond and a decrease in trade and other payables.

The adjusted equity ratio remained stable at 28.8%, compared to 28.9% at the end of 2020.

Chart 8. Net current assets Chart 9. Break down of liabilities and equity

Investment cash flow equalled to EUR -3.351 million in Q4 2021 compared to EUR -5.772 million in Q4 2020, mainly related to work in progress in Hungary and Australia, the investment in Lerta, and the sale of the Maryvale project.

Financial cash flow amounted to EUR 20.444 million in Q4 2021, compared to EUR 3.306 million in Q4 2020, coming from the proceeds from the Green bond placement, and in line with scheduled repayments of bank financing and interest expenses.

Overall, the cash position increased to EUR 32.506 million at the end of Q4 2021 compared to EUR 10.761 million the end of Q3 2021.
