2. Management Discussion and Analysis

2.1 A note from the Management Board

The third quarter of 2021 at Photon Energy was truly eventful, as was clearly reflected in the Group's financials for the reporting period showing a robust 13.8% growth in revenues year-on-year.

During the reporting period, the Group saw outstanding sequential project development growth with 53 MWp added to its pipeline in Hungary, Poland and Romania since 30 June 2021, commissioned two large photovoltaic power plants, with a combined capacity of 14.6 MWp, in Australia, and delivered its first pilot EPC project in Poland, one year only after its market entry on the fastest growing and largest market in the CEE region. Furthermore, the negative impact of retroactive measures announced in the Czech Republic and Slovakia starting from 2022 turned to be inferior to expectations (EUR -2.853 million compared to up to EUR -4.0 million previously reported).

We are also glad to report that the hybrid battery system we completed on Lord Howe Island, a UNESCO World heritage site, has now been supplying clean electricity to the island community for over six months, including stretches of up to five consecutive days and nights in August without any additional diesel-generated power.

This is a clear demonstration of the reliability of solar PV and battery technology. The future is in energy storage. This is what supported our decision to conclude a strategic partnership with RayGen a company specializing in high-efficiency concentrated PV generation with thermal absorption and storage. After the reporting period, we secured 1,200 hectares of land in South Australia to develop the world's largest solar energy storage project to date based on RayGen's solar technology in combination with its energy storage solution. We are very excited to be developing this innovative and globally significant solar energy storage project in South Australia.

Further to the prospectus approval received for our First Green Bond, a public offer was launched for a Green EUR-denominated 6-year corporate bond (with a 6.50% p.a. coupon and quarterly payments) together with an exchange offer for the holders of its previous 7.75% p.a. EUR Bond. We are proud to have obtained a second party opinion from imug | rating, an independent institution in Germany, confirming that the framework for our first green bond issuance is in line with the Green Bond Principles 2021. It underlines our commitment to sustainable development, offers prospective investors an insight into the sustainability aspects of our financing model and makes clear how this will be reported beyond the issuance process. Furthermore, our first Green Bond has been rated 'attractive' with 4 out of 5 possible stars by KFM Deutsche Mittelstand AG ('KFM') in their latest KFM-Mittelstandsanleihen Barometer. This is strengthening the trust of numerous investors and institutions in our business model.

Financial Results

We closed the third quarter of 2021 with total revenues amounting to an outstanding EUR 10.200 million (+13.8% YoY), thanks to a robust 11.4% increase in revenues from the sale of electricity generated by our growing proprietary portfolio, while other revenue streams increased by +18.4% YoY. The latter were driven by the sale of technology, which compensated delayed EPC revenues connected to covid-19 restrictions in Australia. During the quarter, the first revenues coming from the electricity generation of our two utility-scale projects in Leeton, Australia were registered. The two utility-scale power plants with a combined capacity of 14.6 MWp are the two largest projects we added to our portfolio to date and our first merchant projects providing competitive energy into the Australian energy market. Together they are expected to generate approximately 27.8 GWh of clean energy per year, contributing to further increase our recurring revenues and mitigate the seasonality of our business.

As a result, this strong business performance led to a remarkable EBITDA of EUR 4.433 million in Q3 2021 (+13.4% YoY), which made up for increased operating costs connected to our business development activities. This investment is crucial for the development of existing business lines as well as new activities. In 2021 only, we were able to expand our project development pipeline to 439 MWp in Hungary, Poland and Romania (approximately 240 MWp added since December 2020) and have started the construction of two projects in Hungary. Our project development is the foundation to 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.

Despite higher depreciation resulting from the new power plants connected in Hungary and Australia over the past 12 months (14.1 MWp and 14.6 MWp respectively), the EBIT remained positive and amounted to EUR 0.416 million in Q3 2021 compared to EUR 1.105 million one year ago.

Slightly increasing interest expenses amounting to EUR -1.614 million (+0.6% YoY) in Q3 2021 were offset by a positive revaluation of derivatives compared to the same period last year.

Logically, net profit remained in the red with a net loss of EUR -1.405 million in Q3 2021 compared to a EUR -1.653 million loss a year ago.

Bottom line, a negative impact on the valuation of the Czech and Slovak PV power plants was recorded according to IAS 16 as a result of regulatory changes announced in both countries starting from 1 January 2022. The EUR -2.853 million negative impact turned to be however lower than the up to EUR 4.0 million expectation published in our ESPI report (ESPI Report 41 - 29.09.2021: Effect of Regulatory Changes on Photon Energy's Power Plant Portfolio from 2022).

Contrasted effects, consisting in the above stated negative revaluation difference stemming from retroactive measures decided in the Czech Republic and in Slovakia, and a positive revaluation difference related to our newly connected Australian power plants in Leeton (EUR 3.173 million) incurred a total comprehensive income (TCI) of EUR -1.179 million comparing to EUR 4.103 million a year earlier.

With the impact of the retroactive measures decided in the Czech Republic and Slovakia excluded, the TCI would have been positive, amounting to EUR 1.675 million.

Year-to-date, Photon Energy's first nine month revenues increased by 6.3% to EUR 24.625 million, while EBITDA and EBIT both decreased to EUR 8.554 million (-9.6% YoY) and EUR -0.091 million (-103.3% YoY) respectively. As of the end of the reporting period however, the Company's 9 month EBITDA of EUR 8.554 million already surpassed the full year 2020 EBITDA in the amount of EUR 8.440 million.

Photon Energy recorded a net loss of EUR -5.442 million compared to EUR -4.432 million in the first nine months of 2020 whereas the TCI amounted to EUR 1.119 million compared to EUR -1.162 million a year ago.

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

Photon Energy Commissions 14.6 MWp Utility-Scale Solar Farms in Australia

On 10 August 2021, the Company announced that it has commissioned its first two utility-scale PV power plants with a combined capacity of 14.6 MWp in Australia. This latest addition located in Leeton, New South Wales, expanded the Group's installed base in Australia to 14.7 MWp and its total proprietary portfolio of PV power plants to 89.3 MWp. The solar farm uses bi-facial PV modules mounted on single-axis trackers and is expected to produce approximately 27.8 GWh of clean electricity per year. The electricity is sold on the National Electricity Market on a merchant basis, as well as the Large Generation Certificates (LGCs) generated by the plant.

Photon Energy-RenCraft Consortium Commissions 950 kWp PV Power Plant in Poland

During the reporting period, Photon Energy Solutions, the Group's subsidiary dedicated to engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) services, has – as part of a RenCraft-led consortium – delivered a 950 kWp PV power plant to its client Miejskie Wodociągi i Kanalizacja Sp. z o.o., an organisation responsible for the care, control and management of a wastewater treatment facility in Koszalin, Poland.

The PLN 3.36 milion (EUR 0.73 million) project, which is now fully commissioned, has been providing an uninterrupted supply of clean electricity to the facility for over a month, helping the municipality to reduce the growing costs of energy from the grid.

Photon Energy was contracted to design and build the PV system and will also provide maintenance services during the warranty period of 60 months from the commissioning date.

We are very excited with the success of this project for the Koszalin community. Our decentralised solar PV power solutions for the reliable supply of energy to municipalities have proven themselves many times over. The system that we have built not only ensures the sustainability of the local wastewater treatment plant, but is instrumental in providing energy security while reducing the costs of energy from the grid.

This project represents the fourth collaboration between Photon Energy and RenCraft. The first installation was constructed in 2012 to power a wastewater treatment plant and a water supply company in Ruda Śląska. With an installed capacity of 311 kWp, it was the largest rooftop PV plant in Poland at the time.

Effect of Regulatory Changes on Photon Energy's Power Plant Portfolio from 1 January 2022

On 29 September 2021, the Group announced that recently enacted regulatory changes in the Czech Republic and Slovakia will have an impact on the Group's proprietary portfolio of photovoltaic power plants in both countries starting from 1 January 2022.

In the Czech Republic, retroactive regulatory changes for PV power plants commissioned during the solar boom between 2008 and 2010 have regularly been introduced. In late 2010 the Czech government introduced a 26% levy on the feed-in-tariffs received by PV power plants commissioned in 2009 and 2010 for a period of three years, i.e. 2011-2013. Since 2014 a solar levy of 10% on feed-in-tariffs received by PV power plants commissioned in 2010 has been applied.

In September 2021, the Lower Chamber of Parliament of the Czech Republic passed a new law regarding the support of renewable energy sources (RES) which will empower future governments to set maximum project internal rates of returns (IRR) for the various supported RES of between 8.4% and 10.6% for the respective support periods. For PV power plants commissioned in the years 2009 and 2010, an additional 10% solar levy has been approved. As such, 2009 power plants will pay 10% and 2010 power plants will pay a total of 20% (increased from the previously applied rate of 10%). The new law will come into effect on 1 January 2022.

In Slovakia, the parliament approved an amendment to the energy law introducing an extension of the feed-in-tariffs for PV power plants commissioned in 2009 to 2011 from 15 years to 20 years. This measure is accompanied by a reduction in the applicable feed-in tariffs, which are assessed for each individual PV power plant, taking into account additional investment costs and higher operations and maintenance costs related to the extended technical life. The new feed-in-tariffs are set with the objective of being neutral to the present value of the assets. The Company expects the adjusted feed-in-tariffs for its PV power plants in Slovakia in due course.

Operating Impact

Consolidated revenues from the Czech PV portfolio will not be impacted by the increased solar levy while (at constant production) EBITDA would be lower by up to EUR 1 million in 2022. The feed-in-tariffs received by the Group's Czech PV power plants are subject to a minimum annual indexation of 2%, so that the impact will be gradually reduced in the following years. Furthermore, the Company intends to switch the Czech portfolio power plants into the alternative green bonus scheme for 2022. Based on current market electricity prices, this should allow for a material share of the solar levy increase impact to be compensated for through the sale of electricity at market prices. For the Slovak PV power portfolio, the adjusted feed-in-tariffs may lead to reduced consolidated revenues and EBITDA of up to EUR 1 million in 2022. The repayment schedule of the financing of the Czech portfolio will not be affected, for the Slovak portfolio a potential increase and extension of the repayment schedule of the debt financing is possible due to the prolongation of the feed-in tariff by five years.

Valuation Impact

The Company recorded a negative impact on the valuation of the Czech and Slovak PV power plants according to IAS 16 of EUR - 2.853 million.

In this context, the Company would like to point out that the valuation of the its Czech and Slovak PV portfolios (according to IAS 16) is conservatively based solely on free cash flows generated during the feed-in-tariff periods (now 20 years for both countries), and owned land is accounted for at cost. As such, zero value has been attached to free cash flows generated after the feed-in-tariff period from existing installations for the remaining lifespans of the power plants. The option to repower the installations with new technology after the feed-in-tariff periods for electricity generation and sales into the energy market has also not been reflected. Based on current land market prices, the Company is convinced that material value is hidden in the land bank occupied by said PV power plants.

Photon Energy Group Receives Prospectus Approval for Its First Green Bond

After the reporting period, the Group announced that it has received approval from the Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier (CSSF) of a prospectus prepared in connection with the public offer of its Green Bond 2021/2027 (ISIN: DE000A3KWKY4) with a volume of up to EUR 50 million due in November 2027.

The 6-year Bond has a denomination of EUR 1,000 and offers an attractive 6.50% annual coupon with quarterly payments.

A public offer of the Bond began on 2 November and will finish on 17 November 2021. The offer takes place in Germany, Austria and Luxembourg through either the Subscription Box of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange or a Subscription Form available directly through the Company's website.

Based on Photon Energy Group's proven track record of coupon payments and the sound liquidity of the outstanding bond, the new Green EUR Bond 2021/2027 presents an opportunity to lock into another attractive 6-year coupon with a relatively low risk profile. It will also allow investors to contribute to the development of sustainable, climate-friendly renewable energy projects.

The commencement of trading is scheduled for 23 November 2021 on the Open Market of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange.

Photon Energy Group Receives Second Party Opinion for its New Bond Issuance from imug | rating

After the reporting period, the Group obtained a second party opinion from imug | rating, an independent institution in Germany, on the Company's Green Financing Framework.

The Group's Green Financing Framework provides future investors in this bond with confidence that the mobilised proceeds will be allocated to green projects and that the Company will report on its environmental impact. It has been drafted in line with the green bond principles of the International Capital Market Association (ICMA), which is a market standard for green bonds. In line with standard practices, the framework has been reviewed by a second party opinion provider, imug | rating, which has confirmed the alignment of the framework with the ICMA's Green Bond Principles.

Photon Energy Group's First Green EUR Bond is Rated 'Attractive' by KFM Deutsche Mittelstand AG

After the reporting period, KFM Deutsche Mittelstand AG rated Photon Energy Group's 6.50% Green Bond as 'attractive', with 4 out of 5 stars, in its current KFM-Mittelstandsanleihen Barometer. The reasons for this rating include the Company's stable balance sheet structure and its business model, which includes a solid risk-averse strategy and sustainable use of resources.

Photon Energy to Develop 300 MW / 3.6 GWh RayGen Solar Storage Project in Australia

After the reporting period, the Group announced it has secured 1,200 hectares of land in South Australia to develop the world's largest solar energy storage project to date. The Company is currently developing multiple sites in Australia suitable for Ray-Gen's solar technology in combination with its energy storage solution.

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 gridconnection processes and expects to reach the ready-to-build stage by the end of 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 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.

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 expansion of operations & maintenance (O&M) solutions in Central Europe and Australia and selective entry to new markets following its customers, and development of various water treatment technologies and preparation for its commercialization.

O&M services

Photon Energy remained focused on further expanding its Operations & Maintenance business in Europe. As of the end of Q3 2021, full O&M services contracts amounted to approximately 266.7 MWp, up by 13.5% YOY. This can be broken down geographically into 135.3 MWp operated in the Czech Republic, 77.1 MWp in Hungary, 15.3 MWp in Slovakia, 15.0 MWp in Romania and 24.1 MWp in Australia. The O&M portfolio divides into 166.4 MWp serviced for external clients and 89.7 MWp of PV capacity from the proprietary portfolio.

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) As far as the "Inverter Cardio" services contracts are concerned, the Group is servicing 62.2 MWp of central inverters (+3.3% compared to last year). In detail, at the end of Q3 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.

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 (460.0 MWp), Hungary (96.5 MWp), Romania (217.6 MWp) and Poland (125.1 MWp), and is evaluating further markets for opportunities.

*Development phases are described in the glossary available at the end of this chapter.

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, in August 2021, the Company commissioned its first two utility-scale photovoltaic (PV) power plants in Australia, with a combined capacity of 14.6 MWp. Located in Leeton, New South Wales, expanding the Group's installed base in Australia to 14.7 MWp, and its total proprietary portfolio of PV power plants to 89.3 MWp.

The municipality of Leeton is located in the heart of the Murrumbidgee Irrigation Area, famous for the production of wine and citrus fruits. It is also an area of significant energy use; energy which has traditionally been generated by large coal power plants located hundreds of kilometres away.

Representing the first Australian utility-scale PV power plants in the Group's IPP portfolio, both solar farms use bi-facial PV modules mounted on single-axis trackers, and are connected to the grid owned and operated by Essential Energy as a nonscheduled generator. The plants are expected to produce approximately 27.8 GWh of clean electricity per year.

The electricity is sold on the National Electricity Market on a merchant basis, as well as the Large Generation Certificates (LGCs) generated by the plant. This means no power purchase agreements (PPAs) have been entered into by the Company. However, they may play a role in the plants' future revenue management strategy, alongside other hedging options.

Photon Energy developed the projects in-house and delivered engineering, procurement and construction services through its subsidiary Photon Energy Engineering Australia Pty Ltd. The Group's subsidiary Photon Energy Operations Australia Pty Ltd provides long-term monitoring and operations and maintenance services to both power plants.

As of the date of publishing this report, Photon Energy has two large scale solar farm under development.

Maryvale Solar Farm has development approval and 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.

Development status for Maryvale (160 MWp): Development Approval was granted on 4 December 2019. The grid connection options are still in progress with Essential Energy. We are currently preparing for Grid Protection Study (GPS) and it is expected that project development can be completed within Q1 2022.

After the reporting period, the Group secured 1,200 hectares of land in South Australia to develop a 300 MWp solar farm suitable for RayGen's solar technology in combination with its energy storage solution.

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 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.

Development status: Based on preliminary designs, Photon Energy will develop a solar generation capacity of 300

Hungary

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

Tolna (28.6 MWp): 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) project 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. 3 other projects have entered into advanced development after secured the binding extraction and construction permits. The 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 gridconnection processes and expects to reach the ready-tobuild stage in Q4 2023.

local development team is now actively working securing the connection cable consents including easements and final administration documents (Unified Small Power Plant License). Construction started for two of the projects with a commissioning date expected in December 2021.

The revenue model will either take the form of a contractfor-difference based on METÁR licenses (for projects proving successful through an auction process in the future), a PPA, or the direct sale of electricity through a trader on the Hungarian electricity market. 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.

2.8. Financial statement analysis

Profit and Loss statement

We closed the third quarter of 2021 with total revenues amounting to an outstanding EUR 10.200 million (+13.8% YoY), thanks to a robust 11.4% increase in revenues from the sale of electricity generated by our growing proprietary portfolio, while other revenue streams increased by +18.4% YoY. The latter were driven by the sale of technology, which compensated delayed EPC revenues connected to covid-19 restrictions in Australia. During the quarter, the first revenues coming from the electricity generation of our two utility-scale projects in Leeton, Australia were registered. The two utility-scale power plants with a combined capacity of 14.6 MWp are the two largest projects we added to our portfolio to date and our first merchant projects providing competitive energy into the Australian energy market. Together they are expected to generate approximately 27.8 GWh of clean energy per year, contributing to further increase our recurring revenues and mitigate the seasonality of our business.

As a result, this strong business performance led to a remarkable EBITDA of EUR 4.433 million in Q3 2021 (+13.4% YoY), which made up for increased operating costs connected to our business development activities. This investment is crucial for the development of existing business lines as well as new activities. In 2021 only, we were able to expand our project development pipeline to 439 MWp in Hungary, Poland and Romania (approximately 240 MWp added since December 2020) and have started the construction of two projects in Hungary. Our project development is the foundation to 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.

Despite higher depreciation resulting from the new power plants connected in Hungary and Australia over the past 12 months (14.1 MWp and 14.6 MWp respectively), EBIT remained positive and amounted to EUR 0.416 million in Q3 2021 compared to EUR 1.105 million one year ago.

Slightly increasing interest expenses amounting to EUR -1.614 million (+0.6% YoY) in Q3 2021 were offset by a positive revaluation of derivatives compared to the same period last year.

Logically, net profit remained in the red with a net loss of EUR -1.405 million in Q3 2021 compared to a EUR -1.653 million loss a year ago.

Bottom line, a negative impact on the valuation of the Czech and Slovak PV power plants was recorded according to IAS 16 as a result of regulatory changes announced in both countries starting from 1 January 2022. The EUR -2.853 million negative impact turned to be however lower than the up to EUR 4.0 million expectation published in our ESPI report (ESPI Report 41 - 29.09.2021: Effect of Regulatory Changes on Photon Energy's Power Plant Portfolio from 2022).

Contrasted effects, consisting of the above stated negative revaluation difference stemming from retroactive measures decided in the Czech Republic and in Slovakia, and an equivalent positive revaluation difference related to our newly connected Australian power plants in Leeton (EUR 3.173 million) incurred a total comprehensive income (TCI) of EUR -1.179 million comparing to EUR 4.103 million a year earlier.

With the impact of the retroactive measures decided in the Czech Republic and Slovakia excluded, the TCI would have been positive, amounting to EUR 1.675 million.

Balance Sheet

Switching to the balance sheet, Total fixed assets amounted to EUR 140.117 million at the end of Q3 2021, representing an increase of 3.7% compared to the end of 2020. This development is mainly connected to the addition of our two new power plants in Leeton and an additional equity investment in RayGen during the company's capital increase announced in Q2 2021.

Current assets increased by 46.8% compared to the end of 2020 to EUR 34.959 million as of the end of Q3 2021, resulting primarily from an increase in receivables and to an increase in Liquid assets further to the sale of existing treasury shares for EUR 7.652 million.

Long term liabilities increased by 8.6% compared to the end of 2020 to EUR 112.514 million at the end of Q3 2021, due to an increase in bank loans related to the refinancing drawdowns for our power plants in Hungary in accordance with financing plans.

Changes in equity

Equity increased by 25.9% compared to the end of 2020 and amounted to EUR 50.439 million at the end of Q3 2021, reflecting the Total Comprehensive Income for the period and the placement of treasury shares in Q2 2021. The adjusted equity ratio increased to a solid 32.0%.

Cash Flow

In Q3 2021, the Group posted a positive operating cash flow, which amounted to EUR 2,005 million, compared to EUR 2.976 million in Q3 2020, mainly driven by adjustments in the net working capital and by a lower profit before taxation.

financing at the project level, where debt/equity ratios reach up to 80/20. Non-recourse financing is aligned with the life cycle of the power plants and is very long term, up to 15 years. Thus a higher level of debt is a specific of our industry.

Current liabilities amounted to EUR 12.120 million at the end of Q3 2021, corresponding to a -20.3% decrease compared to the end of 2020, mainly due to a decrease in trade and other payables.

The adjusted equity ratio increased to a comfortable level of 32.0%, further to the sale of existing treasury shares for EUR 7.7 million, making our financial situation stable and allowing the company to deliver its strategic objectives.
