Total Comprehensive Income (TCI) is the sum of the profit after taxes plus Other Comprehensive income (OCI). According to IAS 16, Other comprehensive income includes revaluation of PPE in a proprietary portfolio to their fair values, share on OCI of associates and joint ventures and foreign currency translation differences.
EPC stands for Engineering, Procurement and Construction and refers to services related to project design, engineering, procurement and construction of solar power plants.
Throughout this report Photon Energy Group is referred to as the "Group", the "Company", the "Issuer" and/or "Photon Energy".
The Company celebrated its 15th anniversary last month in January 2023. This is a major milestone and an auspicious occasion to remember where we are coming from as well as the challenges and successes we have witnessed since the establishment of our Company.
The past fifteen years, we have provided services for solar installations around the world, built a proprietary portfolio of 88 PV power plants with a total capacity of 92 MWp, become an independent clean energy provider, and expanded the scope of our work, establishing Photon Water to deliver ground-breaking clean water solutions. Over this time, our team has grown from six people to over 300 in seven countries across two continents.
Since the very beginning, the fuel for our strategy has been project development. That means that we control a pipeline of projects that very often we develop from scratch or co-develop in some instances. Having control is extremely important as the integration of in-house development and engineering to our projects makes us the master of our destiny. From the moment we have all permits, the construction process is executed based on projects which are designed in the right way for long-term ownership.
We have been constantly looking for new markets to develop, a way how to diversify our risks and put the company on a more solid basis. Assessing risks but also not being afraid or risks, as on the other side of the coin are opportunities, which are immense in the energy sector going forward.
In 2017, we decided to enter the Hungarian market and shortly afterwards the Romanian market. At that time, Romania was probably the least popular solar market in Europe after they had their own boom in the years 2013 and 2014. We have started sowing the seeds of our presence in this market, where we have built 32 MWp in 2022, being among the very first investors in this resuming market, where everybody now wishes to invest. We entered the market at a time where it was very countercyclical, though. In Hungary, we have built nearly 52 MWp, of which 46.2 MWp operate on a merchant basis.
Switching for a merchant model is the financial backbone of our business, improving the Group's profitability and maximizing the return on investment on its Independent Power Producer (IPP) portfolio. There is now a regulatory response to high energy prices with the decision made, at the EU level, that power plants should not generate more than EUR 180 per MWh. While it has a certain impact on our business, this amount remains well above our requirements when compared to our Levelized Cost Of Electricity (LCOE), to be profitable.
The strategic decision to take over and integrate Lerta – a decision that was taken a long time ago, first as a minority investor-, is bringing significant opportunities in the future. Thanks to our combined businesses, we will be able to serve an endless group of customers with various types of solutions. Demand Side Response (DSR) is currently the most promising area in the whole energy sector. With base load generation capacity from coal, nuclear and other polluting technologies being switched off, and more renewable energy sources added to the grid, the latter becomes more unstable, making balancing more and more complex. Outside energy storage, which is adding flexible generation capacity, DSR is another solution, requiring small investments through contracts with energy users.
In the area of remediation, which is used to eliminate various contaminants from groundwater, including PFAS, we successfully filed for a patent of our in-situ nanoremediation technology. PFAS
contaminants are harmful substances that we are all exposed to, mainly present in water repellent products. Australia was at the forefront of recognizing the threat, introducing regulation, and constantly reducing the limit. In 2022, we managed to commence with the Australian Department of Defence a pilot project and are now in the final phase for which the results are very encouraging. We also managed to win a risk assessment study for Prague airport.
The past year has been a year of extremes, during which we benefited from high electricity prices, but have also been able to grow the volume of electricity generated and sold into the market. As a result, this year has been very successful, but not only based on high energy prices. We have also seen significant growth in the volume of modules, inverters and batteries that we have been able to sell to our customers, and have experienced continuous organic growth in other business lines. Now with the integration of Lerta, we believe that these dynamics are going to continue as we move closer to our vision of a world where clean energy and water are accessible to everyone.
Key highlights for the fourth quarter of 2022 up to the reporting date are detailed below:
In the fourth quarter of 2022, the Company more than doubled its consolidated revenue to EUR 26.428 million (+125.3% YOY). Despite a lower production volume of 18.6 GWh (-6.6% YoY) due to unfavourable weather conditions, electricity sales revenues from the Company's 91.9 MWp proprietary portfolio of PV power plants increased by 27.0% YoY to EUR 3.820 million. This increase in revenues was supported by the high electricity prices on the market-linked direct sales component of the "Green Bonus" support scheme, into which the Czech portfolio switched since the beginning of the year, as well as by the Group's Hungarian IPP portfolio, of which the Company also temporarily switched most power plants (46.2 MWp out of 51.8 MWp) to a merchant model in April 2022. Year to date, the Company reports 121.6 GWh of clean electricity produced as compared to 103.3 GWh in 2021 (+17.8% YoY). The Company has achieved record electricity revenues of EUR 35.239 million in 2022 as compared to EUR 19.402 in 2021 (+81.6% YoY).
In addition to the electricity generation revenues, the spectacular growth of other revenue streams was mainly attributable to the momentum experienced by the Company's component trading business line, which distributes modules, inverters and batteries, bringing total other revenues for the quarter to EUR 22.617 million (+159.2%) and increasing year-to-date total other revenues to EUR 58.984 million (+247.8%).
Unaudited consolidated EBITDA improved by 17.3% YoY to EUR 1.209 million, while quarterly EBIT improved to EUR -0.355 million after EUR -0.621 million one year ago. The Company's quarterly profitability was impacted by a higher contribution of lower margin revenues from the sale of technology, the booking of provisions for the Hungarian windfall taxes adopted by the Hungarian government, and a growing headcount, which is crucial to support the development of our existing business lines as well as our new business activities.
Overall interest expenses increased by 34.4% to EUR -2.481 million in Q4 2022, driven by the placement of the Company's 6.50% Green EUR Bond 2021/2027 in November 2021 – tapped up from EUR 50.0 million to EUR 77.5 million during the year - leading to a net loss of EUR -3.768 million (vs. a EUR -0.991 million net loss in Q4 2021).
Ultimately, Photon Energy Group posted a negative Total Comprehensive Income (TCI) for the quarter amounting to EUR -2.081 million, compared to EUR 0.977 million for the same period last year.
Year-to-date, the Company posted a record revenue of EUR 94.223 million (+159.1%) in 2022 and hit a record EBITDA of EUR 24.062 million (+151.1% YOY). EBIT swung from a loss of EUR -0.712 million to a EUR 14.549 million profit. Photon Energy reported a net profit of EUR 2.785 million compared to a EUR -6.433 million loss in 2021. At the bottom line, TCI amounted to EUR 4.277 million compared to EUR 2.096 million a year ago, while the adjusted equity ratio increased at a sound level of 29.3%.
The Company has met its guidance for 2022 to increase its consolidated revenues to EUR 85 million from EUR 36.4 million in 2021, and to increase its EBITDA to EUR 24 million from EUR 9.6 million in 2021.
In keeping with its strategy, the Company will continue actively investing in new PV power plants on the back of its proprietary project pipeline, currently totalling 918 MWp, including the 32 MWp built and up to be commissioned in Romania.
Increases in other revenue streams are also anticipated thanks to the great momentum in the Group's EPC revenues and the significant interest in 'behind-the-meter' PV installations for industrial customers and off-takers. The Group's PV component trading business, which distributes modules, inverters and batteries is also expected to enjoy very dynamic growth in 2023.
DSR services will become a key revenue driver for the Group as Lerta has secured DSR capacities and expands to new markets, meeting exploding global demand for grid flexibility, with Australia as the next target.
Based on the above and the Group's operating leverage manifesting across all its business lines, consolidated revenues for 2023 are expected to increase to EUR 150.0 million from EUR 94.2 million in 2022, representing a 59.2% increase YoY, leading to an increase of EBITDA to EUR 29.0 million from EUR 24.1 million in 2022 (+20.5% YoY).
During the reporting period, the Company announced that it has closed a long-term non-recourse project refinancing agreement with UniCredit Bank Czech Republic and Slovakia a.s. ('UCB') for its proprietary photovoltaic (PV) power plants in the Czech Republic. The refinanced portfolio is comprised of nine PV power plants with a combined capacity of 14.6 MWp that were connected to the grid in 2009 and 2010.
The refinancing, which totals EUR 28.1 million, is split into financing in Euros, for EUR 9.7 million, and Czech crowns, for CZK 451 million (EUR 18.4 million). The facilities are being provided for a period of 7 years and 3 months, until 31 December 2029.
Through this refinancing agreement with UniCredit Bank, we have again secured long-term project refinancing for most of our Czech portfolio, allowing us to free up significant additional liquidity after the repayment of our EUR Bond 2017/2022 to finance the expansion of our portfolio.
During the reporting period, the Company announced that it has tapped its 6.50% Green EUR Bond 2021/2027 in the amount of EUR 12.5 million to a total outstanding amount of EUR 77.5 million.
The bonds, which bear interest at a rate of 6.50% p.a. with quarterly interest payments, were offered to bondholders of the existing 2017/2022 corporate bonds in form of an exchange offer with a 1.5% loyalty premium plus the difference in net accrued interest on each exchanged bond. Existing investors registered around 6.0 million euros nominally for exchange, which corresponds to a ratio of 30% of the outstanding bond. Together with the initial exchange offer organized in November 2021, 60% of the outstanding volume of the Company's 2017/2022 bond has been exchanged for the new Green EUR Bond.
Investors from Germany, Austria and Luxembourg were given the opportunity to subscribe for the bond until 11 October 2022 directly through the Company's website in form of a public offer. In addition, a private placement was launched towards the end of the subscription period.
The tap issuance of the 2021/2027 Green bonds were included into trading on the Quotation Board trading segment of the Open Market (Freiverkehr) on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange (Frankfurter Wertpapierbörse).
The Company intends to use net proceeds of the tap issuance to finance photovoltaic projects or hybrid solutions combined with energy storage, as well as financial instruments that were used to finance such projects or assets, in accordance with the Company's Green Financing Framework issued in September 2021.
During the reporting period, the Company successfully repaid the outstanding nominal value of EUR 15.232 million of its 7.75% EUR corporate bond 2017/2022 (ISIN: DE000A19MFH4) at the end of the five-year term in accordance with the bond conditions. The repayment was made together with the final interest payment to the bondholders.
With a flawless track record in serving our quarterly bond coupons and our transparent and proactive communication with investors during the whole bond tenor, the final repayment of our second bond marked a crucial milestone in our capital market financing activities.
The bond was issued on 27 October 2017 with a 7.75% annual coupon and quarterly coupon payments in Germany, Austria and Luxemburg. The original target volume of EUR 30 million was successfully increased in two taps with all parameters unchanged, to an outstanding amount of EUR 45.0 million.
The bond, with a nominal value of EUR 1,000, had been traded on the Open Market of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange since 27 October 2017. It was also listed on the stock exchanges in Berlin, Hamburg, Hannover, Munich and Stuttgart.
The Company has agreed to acquire the development rights and land for a 9.8 MWp/10 MWh solar and battery energy storage system facility in New South Wales. Located in the vicinity of the town of Boggabri, the project will extend over 22 hectares of greenfield land and will be equipped with over 16,500 high-efficiency bifacial solar modules mounted on single-axis trackers.
The facility will deliver around 16.4 GWh of renewable energy annually to the grid operated by Essential Energy. The electricity will be sold on the energy market on a merchant basis. Photon Energy Group expects to break ground on the project towards the end of the second quarter of 2023.
The project represents the Company's first utility-scale solar-plusstorage installation and will serve as a prototype for a future rollout across Photon Energy Group's European market.
During the reporting period, the Company has launched its B2B eCommerce platform at eshop.photonenergy.com. Our new platform is a key strategic element in fortifying our position as a leading supplier of PV modules, inverters and batteries across the CEE region at a time of surging growth in demand.
The platform aims to complement traditional sales channels, grow, and diversify the Company's customer base and minimise the speed and costs of transactions for PV installers on a user-friendly platform that is available 24/7. The Company's existing customers will be migrated to the platform, while new B2B customers can onboard in an easy process, with approval taking less than 24 hours.
Since 7 December, the Company shares traded as well on the electronic trading platform XETRA, Germany's leading trading platform for listed companies provided by Deutsche Börse AG.
The Company has mandated BankM AG as designated sponsor. BankM AG will provide additional liquidity by committing to enter binding bid and ask prices (quotes) in the XETRA order book and therefore will provide for extra liquidity in the respective shares. With the inclusion of the shares to the XETRA trading platform, the Company's shares continue to trade on the Frankfurt, Warsaw and Prague Stock Exchanges.
Photon Energy to see only modest revenues impact amid recent regulatory changes across markets
During the reporting period, the Company provided an overview of the regulatory situation and the expected impact of price caps and windfall taxation on the Company's operating (and future) solar PV generation assets in the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, and Poland in 2023.
Based on the status quo of price caps and windfall taxes adopted by the governments in the Group's core markets in the CEE region the management board of the Company expects a modest negative impact in the Czech Republic and Hungary and no negative impact in Slovakia and Romania, with a potential slowdown in rollout plans in Poland.
New capacity additions in Romania and Australia in 2023 are expected to drive material revenue and EBITDA growth in 2023 and beyond.
On 16 December, the Company's Board of Directors adopted a share buyback programme, with the purpose of meeting the obligations arising from its Employee Share Purchase Programme policy.
The Company intends to buy back a maximum of 250,000 shares in the capital of the Company, which constitutes approx. 0.42% of the Company's issued share capital as of the day of 16 December 2022. The amount of funds allocated for the implementation of the Programme will not exceed PLN 3.75 million (EUR 801,000). The Programme commenced on 19 December 2022 and will last no longer than 6 months, i.e. until 19 June 2023.
The conditions and terms of the share buyback are available in the Investor relations section of the company's website.
Lerta is a Poland-based VPP (Virtual Power Plant) company which aggregates and manages distributed energy resources. Its proprietary AI software platform allows Lerta to forecast and optimise the output of renewable power plants and the load of industrial clients based on current prices and grid needs. This results in demand and supply flexibility which is offered to grid operators under different programs and services. In addition, Lerta provides a variety of energy-related services to consumers, such as behind-the-meter PV installations, energy management systems and PPAs. Lerta maintains energy trading licenses in Poland, Hungary, Romania, the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Serbia. Lerta manages a total capacity of almost 300 MWp, aggregated from more than 300 units across four countries. Of this, 150 MWp represents contracted DSR capacity in Poland, making Lerta the third largest aggregator in the country. In 2022, Lerta generated revenues of EUR 23 million.
The integration of Lerta into Photon Energy Group provides the Group with energy trading licenses in six countries, a cutting-edge scalable VPP platform and the number 3 position in the Polish DSR market with 134 MW capacity secured for 2023.
The acquisition of Lerta now expands the Group's team by some 100 members, raising the headcount to over 300, nearly one third of which will be based in Poland. Lerta adds two new locations to the Group's footprint in Poland, with offices now in Warsaw, Poznań, Łódź and Gdańsk.
The Company's subsidiary Lerta JRM Sp. z o.o. (part of the Lerta Group) succeeded in the Polish capacity auction for 2027 with 157 MW of Demand Side Response (DSR).
The Polish transmission system operator (TSO) procures peak generation and DSR capacity through two auctions for future years. The main auction is held approximately four years prior to the specified year, with an additional auction held in March of the preceding year. On 15 December, PSE conducted its main auction for the year 2027 in which Lerta participated with 157 MW in DSR capacity. Reflecting tight supply, the auction cleared in the first round, and based on preliminary results Lerta managed to secure an average price of PLN 406,350 (EUR 86,827) per MW/year, locking in contracted revenues of PLN 63.8 million (EUR 13.6 million) for the year 2027.
Lerta's success in the Polish capacity auction for 2027 is an important milestone towards becoming the market leading DSR provider in Poland with a target of 600 MW by 2027 and 900 MW by 2030.
The Group's focus for future growth lies 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, Eastern and South-Eastern Europe, the Middle East and Africa as well as Asia 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 acquisition of Lerta, developing Virtual Power Plant technologies and energy market services and the strategic investment concluded with RayGen, a company specialized in high efficiency concentrated PV generation with thermal absorption and storage.
In addition, the Group's focus remains on the expansion of operations & maintenance (O&M) solutions in Central and Eastern 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:
The table below presents the portfolio of operating power plants owned directly or indirectly by Photon Energy N.V. at the end of the reporting period i.e. as of 31 December 2022, consisting of 88 power plants in the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary and Australia with a total installed capacity of 91.9 MWp.

Photon Energy remained focused on delivering Operations & Maintenance services. As of the end of Q4 2022, full O&M services contracts amounted to approximately 333.6 MWp (+22.3% YOY). This can be broken down geographically into 132.1 MWp in Hungary, 94.9 MWp operated in the Czech Republic, 62.7 MWp in Poland, 15.4 MWp in Australia, 15.3 MWp in Slovakia, and 13.3 MWp in Romania. The O&M portfolio divides into 241.7 MWp serviced for external clients and 91.9 MWp of PV capacity from the proprietary portfolio.
As far as the "Inverter Cardio" services contracts are concerned, the Group is servicing 49.8 MWp of central inverters (-20.1% YOY).
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



In detail, at the end of Q4 2022, the total capacity of central inverters serviced can be divided regionally into 18.3 MWp in France, 9.7 MWp in Belgium, 6.5 MWp in the Czech Republic, 6.0 MWp in Italy, 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.
After the end of the reporting period, the total capacity under O&M contract (full O&M services and Inverter Cardio services contracts) amounted to 383.3 MWp.
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 (309.8 MWp), Hungary (78.1 MWp), Romania (227.7 MWp) and Poland (303.0 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 between 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.

Below is a short summary of projects and progress achieved in the reporting period.
► Raygen project (300 MWp): In November 2021, the Group secured 1,200 hectares of land in South Australia to develop a 300 MWp solar farm with a grid connection capacity of 150 MW suitable for RayGen's solar technology in combination with its energy storage solution. 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.
The project received Crown Sponsorship from the South Australian Government for development approval. Crown Sponsorship is a development process undertaken directly with, in this case, the Department of Energy and Mining, as a development of public infrastructure under section 49(2)(c) of the Development Act 1993 for the approval of the project with the South Australian Government. The proposed development complies with the requirements of the Technical Regulator in relation to the security and stability of the State's power system. In parallel, Photon Energy has applied for grid connection for the project to the Electranet transmission network and has engaged a grid connection consultant to manage the process and conduct Grid Performance Studies which will be submitted for approval.
In Q1 2022, Photon Energy conducted Community consultation sessions with very positive response from both the community and the local council. The local council is very supportive of the project and has expressed interest in working with Photon Energy on accommodation and local supply chain in any areas that will be mutually beneficial to both the local community and the project.
► Boggabri project (9.8 MWp): In November 2022, the Company acquired the development rights and land for a 9.8 MWp/10 MWh solar and battery energy storage system facility in New South Wales. The project is located in the vicinity of the town of Boggabri, nearly 500km north-west of Sydney. It will extend over 22 hectares of greenfield land and will be equipped with over 16,500 high-efficiency bifacial solar modules mounted on single-axis trackers.
The facility will deliver around 16.4 GWh of renewable energy annually to the grid operated by Essential Energy. The electricity will be sold on the energy market on a merchant basis. Photon Energy Group expects to break ground on the project towards the end of the second quarter of 2023.
The project represents the Company's first utility-scale solarplus-storage installation and will serve as a prototype for a future roll-out across Photon Energy Group's European markets.
Below is a short summary of projects and progress achieved in the reporting period.
► Tolna 3-13 projects (25.8 MWp under development, 1.4 MWp commissioned on 9 December 2021 and 1.4 MWp commissioned on 5 May 2022): In total thirteen projects with a total planned installed DC capacity of 28.6 MWp 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 partially approved, to allow us to conclude grid connection agreements with E.ON. with a validity of two years.
In 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.
Two power plants have been constructed and commissioned to date, with a third one in advanced development after securing the binding extraction and construction permits. These additions expand the Company's portfolio in Hungary to a total of 63, with a combined capacity of 51.8 MWp. They are the first European utility-scale PV power plants in our IPP portfolio operated without a support scheme. The annual production of each power plant is expected to be around 2.1 GWh. Each of these power plants 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. Entering 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, remain possible options.

Despite a lower production volume of 18.6 GWh (-6.6% YoY) due to unfavourable weather conditions, electricity sales revenues from the Company's 91.9 MWp proprietary portfolio of PV power plants increased by 27.0% YoY to EUR 3.820 million. This increase in revenues was supported by the high electricity prices on the market-linked direct sales component of the "Green Bonus" support scheme, into which the Czech portfolio switched since the beginning of the year, as well as by the Group's Hungarian IPP portfolio, of which the Company also temporarily switched most power plants (46.2 MWp out of 51.8 MWp) to a merchant model in April 2022.

Overall interest expenses increased by 34.4% to EUR -2.481 million in Q4 2022, driven by the placement of the Company's 6.50% Green EUR Bond 2021/2027 in November 2021 – tapped up from EUR 50.0 million to EUR 77.5 million during the year - leading to a net loss of EUR -3.768 million (vs. a EUR -0.991 million net loss in Q4 2021).
Ultimately, Photon Energy Group posted a negative Total Comprehensive Income (TCI) for the quarter amounting to EUR -2.081 million, compared to EUR 0.977 million for the same period last year.

Coming to the balance sheet, Total fixed assets amounted to EUR 171.157 million at the end of Q4 2022, representing a 20.1% increase of compared to the end of 2021. This development is resulting from the recording of EUR 12.251 million in intangible reflecting the acquisition of Lerta S.A., the impact of weakening Hungarian Forint (HUF) over the past year, impacting the EUR value of the Company's Hungarian portfolio, the ongoing depreciation of our portfolio power plants, offset by the addition of the power plant commissioned in Tolna in May 2022, Hungary and by an increase of our assets in progress in Romania.
Current assets increased by 27.6% compared to the end of 2021 to EUR 69.078 million as of the end of Q4 2022, resulting from an increase in trade and other receivables connected to our business growth, and an increased inventory related to our Technology sales and our procurement strategy, a positive revaluation of derivatives, partially offset by a decrease in Liquid assets (see below "Cash flow").

In keeping with its strategy, the Company will continue actively investing in new PV power plants on the back of its proprietary project pipeline, currently totalling 918 MWp, including the 32 MWp built and up to be commissioned in Romania.
Increases in other revenue streams are also anticipated thanks to the great momentum in the Group's EPC revenues and the significant interest in 'behind-the-meter' PV installations for industrial customers and off-takers. The Group's PV component trading S.A. in accordance with the investment agreement concluded on 20 December 2022. The adjusted equity ratio increased to 29.3% (vs. 28.8% at the end of 2021).
Financial cash flow amounted to EUR 14.798 million in Q4 2022, compared to EUR 19.296 million in Q4 2021, driven by the longterm non-recourse project refinancing of our proprietary portfolio in the Czech Republic, the additional placement of our EUR Green bond 2021/27, scheduled repayments of bank financing, and interest expenses, and the repayment of our EUR Bond 2017/22.
Overall, liquid assets decreased to EUR 21.352 million at the end of Q4 2022 compared to EUR 21.931 million at the end of Q3 2022 and EUR 39.362 million at the end of 2021.
