  • Group EBITDA without new partnerships amounted to DKK 15.8 bn, in line with our expectations

  • Results demonstrated strength of diversification as EBITDA was supported by very strong performance from our CHP plants and gas business and offset the impact from unusual low wind speeds and the energy crunch in Offshore

  • High availability rates maintained despite COVID-19

  • Return on capital employed was 15 %

  • The Board of Directors recommend a dividend of DKK 12.5 per share, an increase of 8.7 %

Demonstrated proven partnership model

  • Closed 50 % farm-downs of Borssele 1 & 2 and Greater Changhua 1

Effects expected at the beginning of the year

  • Wind impact 2020 in Offshore (DKK -0.1 bn), ceasing business performance (DKK 0.3 bn), higher TNUoS tariffs (DKK -0.1 bn), ramp-up sites (DKK 0.3 bn), and Borssele 1 & 2 farm-down (DKK -0.2 bn)

Q4 effects

  • Slightly lower than normal wind speeds in Offshore in Q4 2021

  • Negative impact in Offshore sites due to energy crunch, leading to higher balancing and intermittency costs, and costs related to buy back of hedges

  • Existing partnerships negatively impacted by further wake provisions (DKK 0.5bn)

  • Offshore project development expenses increased due to the continued expansion of our footprint

  • Significant increase in Onshore generation driven by ramp-up partly offset by higher costs relating to continued expansion of business

  • Increased earnings from CHP plants due to high power and heat generation, higher power prices, and high sale of ancillary services

  • Gas Market & Infrastructure benefited from optimised purchase from our long-term gas contracts

New partnerships

  • New partnership effect from DKK 3.5 bn farm-down gain relating to 50 % Greater Changhua 1 divestment partly offset by adjustment to Borssele 1 & 2 farm-down gain

Installed renewable capacity

The installed renewable capacity is calculated as the cumulative renewable gross capacity installed by Ørsted before divestments.

For installed renewable thermal capacity, we use the heat capacity, as heat is the primary outcome of thermal energy generation, and as bioconversions of the combined heat and power plants are driven by heat contracts.

Decided (FID) renewable capacity

Decided (FID) capacity is the renewable capacity for which a final investment decision (FID) has been made.

Awarded and contracted renewable capacity

The awarded renewable capacity is based on the capacities which have been awarded to Ørsted in auctions and tenders. The contracted capacity is the capacity for which Ørsted has signed a contract or power purchase agreement (PPA) concerning a new renewable energy plant. Typically, offshore wind farms are awarded, whereas onshore wind farms are contracted. We include the full capacity if more than 50 % of PPAs/offtake are secured.

Installed storage capacity

The battery storage capacity is included after commercial operation date (COD) has been achieved. The capacity is presented as megawatts of alternating current (MWac).

Note: In Q2 2021, we aligned our definition of installed capacity, hence all assets (installed or FID’ed) are reported using nameplate capacity. Previously a few wind farms were reported using ‘power optimised capacity’ or ‘export cable limit capacity’.

Overview of US offshore wind federal permitting process

Planning & Analysis Leasing Site Assessment Construction & Operations BOEM[1] conducts a BOEM conducts BOEM grants developer Submit COP for NOI Construction and Operations Plan (COP) process of area auctions and up to five years (not all identification, issues leases time must be taken) to environmental complete requirements Developer submits reviews, etc. Requirements include a Construction and disapprove it, or approve it with modifications. If the COP is approved, then the conducting site Operations Plan developer has its final federal permitting needed to start construction characterization surveys (COP) before the and submitting a Site five-year site Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) Assessment Plan (SAP) assessment period expires BOEM must approve the SAP BOEM issues a BOEM prepares a Draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) and a Notice of Intent Final EIS. BOEM explores alternatives to the proposed COP (NOI) once it deems the A Record of Decision (ROD) is issued at the end of this process. This developer’s COP is not the final approval but is a framework for any further required submission as reviews, site-specific actions, or broad regional mandates Complete and Sufficient

BOEM’s issuance of the NOI starts the ~2-year clock for BOEM to approve the COP, disapprove it, or approve it with modifications. If the COP is approved, then the developer has its final federal permitting needed to start construction

BOEM prepares a Draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) and a Final EIS. BOEM explores alternatives to the proposed COP

A Record of Decision (ROD) is issued at the end of this process. This is not the final approval but is a framework for any further required reviews, site-specific actions, or broad regional mandates

Final Permit Approvals

Federal permitting overview[2]

==> picture [42 x 12] intentionally omitted <==

BOEM may issue an Initiation of Action Notice (IAN) ~2-3 months before issuing its NOI. This can provide an indication on timing

BOEM oversees a four-step process: Planning & Analysis, Leasing, Site Assessment, and Construction & Operations. It can take up to roughly a decade in total

BOEM coordinates inter-agency approval. Approval timing varies per agency, but the last approval deadline is 90 days after the ROD. This generally coincides with the COP approval

We highlight key milestones within each step This is a new process for BOEM, who have yet to permit any Projects under this federal process

Approvals come from: NOAA,[3] The US Army Corps of Engineers, the Fish and Wildlife Service, and the Environmental Protection Agency

  • 1: BOEM stands for the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management

  • 2: State-level permitting processes vary across states and typically run concurrent with the federal process

----- End of picture text -----

The wind speed indicates how many metres per second the wind has blown in the areas where we have offshore wind farms. The weighting is based on our generation capacity

In Q2 2021, we aligned our definition of installed capacity, hence all assets (installed or FID’ed) are reported using nameplate capacity. Previously a few wind farms were using ‘power optimised capacity’ or ‘export cable limit capacity’ We have improved the accuracy of our offshore wind speed calculations in 2021 and restated 2020 wind speed data to support comparison. In 2021 we have used an improved input data set for calculating wind speeds for offshore wind farms. Previously individual wind speed measuring points covered several wind farms and were reported for an average hub height. Now each offshore wind farm has its own specific wind speed measuring point for the actual wind farm height. For comparison reasons we have also updated the actual and normal wind speed data reported for 2020 using the new more detailed wind speed datasets.

  1. The GBP exchange rate for hedges impacting EBITDA in 2022 and 2023 is hedged at an average exchange rate of DKK/GBP 8.5 and 8.3.

  2. For USD and NTD, we manage our risk to a natural time spread between front-end capital expenditures and long-term revenue. In the five year horizon, we are therefore seeing that our hedges increase our net exposure to USD, but in the longer horizon, our hedges reduce the USD risk.

Hybrid capital in short

Hybrid capital can broadly be defined as funding instruments that combine features of debt and equity in a cost-efficient manner:

  • Hybrid capital encompasses the creditsupportive features of equity and improves rating ratios

  • Perpetual or long-dated final maturity (1,000 years for Ørsted)

  • Absolute discretion to defer coupon payments and such deferrals do not constitute default nor trigger cross-default

  • Deeply subordinated and only senior to common equity

Due to hybrid’s equity-like features, rating agencies assign equity content to the hybrids when calculating central rating ratios (e.g. FFO/NIBD).

The hybrid capital increases Ørsted’s investment capacity and supports our growth strategy and rating target.

Ørsted has made use of hybrid capital to maintain our ratings at target level in connection with the merger with Danish power distribution and production companies back in 2006 and in recent years to support our growth in the offshore wind sector.

Accounting treatment

  • Hybrid bonds are classified as equity

  • Coupon payments are recognised in equity and do not have any effect on profit (loss) for the year

  • Coupon payments are recognised in the statement of cash flows in the same way as dividend payments

  • For further information see note 5.3 in the 2021 Annual Report

  • Without being dilutive to equity holders (no ownership and voting rights, no right to dividend)

Ørsted’s Green Finance Framework, allocated the dark green shading in the Second Opinion from CICERO Shades of Green, includes Green Bonds, Green Loans and other types of green financing instruments. Ørsted applies green proceeds exclusively for the financing of eligible projects, currently offshore wind projects. Besides the outstanding Green Bonds, Ørsted additionally has a TWD 25bn Green RCF to finance the construction of the offshore wind projects in Taiwan.

Financing strategy

==> picture [226 x 294] intentionally omitted <==

At Ørsted, we have a centralised financing strategy utilizing our strong balance sheet and diverse portfolio.

The strategy supports:

  • A capital structure supportive of our BBB+ rating ambition

  • Concentration of and scale in financing activities

  • Cost efficient financing based on a strong parent rating

  • Optimal terms and conditions and uniform documentation

  • Transparent and simple debt structure

  • No financial covenants and restrictions on operating arrangements

  • Corporate market more stable and predictable than project finance market

  • Avoidance of structural subordination

The financing strategy optimizes the effect of a fully integrated cash pool where cash at practically all of the company’s more than 200 subsidiaries is made available for the company’s financing and liquidity purposes.

Financing of activities at subsidiary level is provided by Ørsted A/S in a standardised and cost-efficient setup.

Widespread use of project financing is not considered cost-efficient and dilutes the creditworthiness of the company.

Currency risk management

General principles

  • Highly certain cash flows are hedged

  • Cost-of-hedging is minimized by netting of exposures in the portfolio of projects, as well as use of construction contracts and debt in local currencies.

Managing outright long risk

  • Operations: 5-year minimum hedging staircase mandate by the Board of Directors with 100 % in year 1 – declining to 20 % in year 5. The hedging staircase is a compromise between stabilizing cash flows in the front-end and ensuring a balanced FFO/NIBD.

  • Beyond the 5-year horizon the currency exposures are to some extent hedged with foreign-currency debt.

Managing time-spread risk (new markets)

  • Construction period: Hedge 100 % of year 1 currency cash flow risk by swapping the exposure to a year with the same currency revenue.

  • In new markets the capital expenditures beyond year 1 are netted with future revenue in the same currency.

Risk management:

Subsidised and hedged power, PPAs in Continental Europe, United states and Taiwan

Matched with fixed nominal debt and derivatives. Passed to debt and derivative holders.

Objectives of interest rate and inflation risk management

  1. Protect long-term real value of equity by offsetting interest and inflation risk exposure embedded in assets by allocating debt with similar, but opposite risk exposure

  2. Cost of funding optimized by actively managing debt portfolio

  3. Cost of hedging minimised by using natural portfolio synergies between assets, allowing matching of up to 100 % of asset value with appropriate debt

Framework for risk management

  • Assets divided into risk categories based on nature of inflation and interest rate risk exposure

  • Simple risk metrics are used to match assets with appropriate debt within each category

  • Fixed nominal-category has first priority for debt allocation to protect shareholders against inflation

  • Inflation-indexed revenues reserved to service equity return for shareholders thereby to a large extent protecting the real value of equity against fluctuations in inflation
