Q2 2024 highlights
Good operational performance
- Q2 2024 EBITDA1 of DKK 5.3 bn, up 59 % vs. same period last year. Offshore sites delivering DKK 4.4 bn, an increase of 40 %
- Full-year EBITDA guidance of DKK 23-26 bn re-iterated, with higher Offshore and lower Bioenergy earnings than previously expected
Commissioned around 2 GW renewable capacity
- Reached commissioning of 1,030 MW of offshore capacity with Greater Changhua 1 and 2a (900 MW) in Taiwan, and South Fork (130 MW) in the US
- Reached commissioning of 850 MW of onshore capacity with the combined solar and storage project Eleven Mile (600 MW), and the solar part of Helena Energy Center (250 MW) in the US
Solid progress and prioritisation within our portfolio
- FID on Hornsea 3 battery energy storage system (300 MW / 600 MWh)
- Closing of Sunrise Wind acquisition in July as well as Onshore transactions
- Re-prioritisation of efforts within the liquid e-fuels market, leading to ceasing execution of FlagshipONE
Reversals of cancellation fees of DKK 1.3 bn and impairment losses of DKK 3.9 bn in Q2 2024
- Net reversal of cancellation fees, mainly relating to the better-than-expected settlement outcome for Ocean Wind
- Impairments relating to Revolution Wind, FlagshipONE, and Ocean Wind seabed

Earnings increase driven by strong offshore performance

EBITDA1 of DKK 5.3 billion in Q2 2024, up 59 % vs. last year EBITDA excluding new partnerships and cancellation fees
- Offshore sites earnings increased 40 % driven by:
- Ramp-up generation at Greater Changhua 1 and 2a, South Fork, and Gode Wind 3
- Higher prices on green certificates and improved earnings on power trading activities
- Wind speeds above norm (9.0 m/s in Q2 2024 vs. norm of 8.7 m/s), and above last year (8.1 m/s in Q2 2023)
- Limited earnings for existing partnerships in Q2 2024, while Q2 2023 benefitted from adjustment of provision towards partners
- Onshore earnings increase driven by ramp-up generation as well as higher wind speeds than last year
- Earnings increase in CHP plants driven by higher heat generation and compensation for keeping three of our Danish power stations operational
- Earnings in Gas business improved as negative temporary effect from revaluation of gas at storage in Q2 2023 was not repeated to the same extent
Cancellation fees
• Provision reversal of DKK 1.6 bn relating to Ocean Wind 1 settlements. Costs of DKK 0.3 bn relating to the ceased execution of FlagshipONE

Net interest-bearing debt and credit metric

Net interest-bearing debt of DKK 49.4 bn, slightly below Q1 2024
- Positive operating cash flow from EBITDA and release of collateral, partly offset by payment of cancellation fees related to Ocean Wind 1 (DKK 1.7 bn)
- Gross investments related to construction of offshore and onshore assets
- Divestment proceeds related to sale of French onshore portfolio and part of four US onshore assets
- 'Other' relates to exchange rate adjustments, lease obligations, and hybrid coupon payments

FFO / Adj. net debt of 23 %
- Improved metric driven by higher FFO
- Target to be above 30 % by 2026

Non-financial ratios

• TRIR reduction plans continue

2024 guidance
EBITDA
EBITDA in 2024, excluding new partnership agreements and impact cancellation fees, is unchanged and still expected to amount to DKK 23-26 billion.
Compared to the directional guidance provided in the annual report for 2023, we now expect earnings from Offshore to be neutral (from 'lower') and earnings from Bioenergy & Other to be higher (from 'significantly higher').
Gross investments
Gross investments in 2024 are now expected to amount to DKK 44-48 billion, a reduction of DKK 4 billion from our Q1 report. This is mainly due to timing effects across our project portfolio.

Continued execution of business plan
Operational portfolio delivering strong earnings in H1 2024
Commissioned around 2 GW renewable capacity supporting long-term growth ambition
Strategic decision to de-prioritise effort within liquid e-fuels market
Project specific issue at Revolution Wind causing delay, other projects broadly on track
Fully financed business plan to 2030, including credit metric recovery towards 2026

Key financial exposures from revenues in 2024-2030

- Prioritise inflation-indexed revenue to protect against cost inflation and higher cost of capital
- Inflation-indexed revenue more than covers the operational expenditures subject to inflation risk1
- Debt used to de-risk fixed nominal revenue from assets in operation and under construction
- Interest rate swaps used to manage short-term interest exposure from awarded (pre-construction) assets
- Corporate PPAs used to de-risk merchant revenue
- Up to 70 % of the remaining short-term power price exposure is de-risked via fixed volume hedges

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

Installed renewable capacity
The installed renewable capacity is calculated as renewable gross capacity installed by Ørsted accumulated over time. We include all capacities after commercial operation date (COD) has been reached, and where we had an ownership share and an EPC (engineering, procurement, and construction) role in the project. Capacities from acquisitions are added to the installed capacity. 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'ed) renewable capacity
Decided (FID'ed) capacity is renewable capacity where 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 renewable capacity is the capacity for which Ørsted has signed a contract or power purchase agreement (PPA) concerning a new renewable energy asset. We include the full capacity if more than 50 % of PPAs or offtake is secured.

Offshore market development – Europe (1/2)
| United Kingdom |
• The new Government has been elected with a manifesto strongly focused on green growth, including a key "mission" of making Britain a clean energy superpower and establishing a publicly-owned energy company (GB Energy). This includes a high 2030 ambition for offshore wind, onshore wind and solar, supported by prioritising action to address planning, grid and skills challenges, and with an increased focus on community engagement. The ongoing review of the electricity market (REMA) is expected to continue under the new government • The budget for fixed-bottom offshore wind for CfD Allocation Round 6 was increased by 300 m to £ 1,1 bn, providing a strong signal of market demand. AR6 bidding concluded 9th August 2024 with results expected in early September 2024. Meeting offshore wind ambitions depends on more than 22 GW of new CfD awards by end 2026 • Sustainable Industry Rewards (formerly 'non-price factors') for AR7 (2025) onwards passed into law with detailed framework to be determined by the new government.
