Scatec ASA Second quarter 2024
2024
Scatec's self-funded growth plan is progressing well. During the quarter, power production performance was driven by new plants in operation (including our hybrid project Kenhardt in South Africa) and recognition of reserve market revenues in the Philippines. EBITDA from power production was NOK 873 million, a 38% increase year-on-year, adjusted for divestments. Our projects under construction in South Africa and Botswana are progressing according to plan, generating a gross margin of 10%, while we recognised an EBITDA of NOK 112 million in the D&C segment as a whole, representing a 24% EBITDA margin.
I am also pleased with us achieving several milestones that align with our ongoing commitment to growth and value creation. In early August, Scatec and Aeolus SAS, part of the Japanese conglomerate Toyota Tsusho Group, signed a partnership agreement to jointly develop and own renewable energy projects in Tunisia. In parallel, financial close has been achieved for the 120 MW Sidi Bouzid and Tozeur solar projects, which are part of the partnership agreement. Scatec will now start construction of the projects. We have now in 2024 committed NOK 590 million of equity investments to projects under construction, in line with our target to invest NOK 500-750 million of equity annually.
We signed a 10-year power purchase agreement with Statkraft in Brazil, for a 142 MW solar plant. Further, Release, our flexible leasing agreement of pre-assembled solar PV and battery equipment, successfully signed lease agreements with ENEO to expand its solar and battery storage capacity in Cameroon to 64.4 MW of solar and 38.2 MWh of batteries. In addition, Scatec achieved significant recognition by being ranked the second most sustainable company in Norway and 99th in the world by TIME.
We have achieved significant progress in our green hydrogen initiatives in Egypt. Scatec's Egypt Green Hydrogen project, in partnership with Fertiglobe, Orascom Construction, The Sovereign Fund of Egypt and the Egyptian Electricity Transmission Company, has reached a key
milestone, after Fertiglobe secured a green ammonia offtake agreement with Hintco in Germany, through the first ever H2Global auction. Based on the award, Fertiglobe and Egypt Green Hydrogen have entered into a 20-year ammonia offtake agreement.
These agreements demonstrate the competitiveness of green hydrogen and ammonia production in Egypt, driven by its abundant renewable energy resources and strategic geographical location. Moreover, we signed Heads of Terms for renewable ammonia offtake in Egypt with Yara Clean Ammonia, the world's largest trader and distributor of ammonia.
As part of our strategic objective to optimise our portfolio through divestments, we signed an agreement with TotalEnergies to divest our 51% stake in the African hydropower joint venture with Norfund and British International Investment (BII). This transaction is an important step in executing our strategic plan, and the proceeds will be reinvested to fuel our self-funded growth initiatives, positioning Scatec for continued success.
We also completed the sale of our 54% equity stake in the 8.5 MW solar power plant in Rwanda to Fortis Green Fund I Rwanda Holdings Ltd and Axian Energy Green Ltd for USD 1.38 million. This divestment contributes to the streamlining of our operations.

Additionally, we have entered into an agreement with Greenstreet 1 Proprietary Limited, a subsidiary of STANLIB Infrastructure Fund II, to sell part of our ownership in the Kalkbult, Linde, and Dreunberg solar power plants. This value accretive deal, valued at ZAR 921 million (USD 50 million), further enhances our financial flexibility. Importantly, we will continue to provide O&M and asset management services to the projects -contracts that have significant value. Further, we have options to buy back approximately 50% of the sold stake at a nominal value at the end of the PPA period. At this point, we believe there will be significant value from potentially repowering the projects and selling the energy into the market. South Africa remains a core growth market for us, and we will continue to build scale through new investments.
Finally, we have refinanced our hydropower plants in Benguet in the Philippines with NOK 170 million in proceeds to Scatec.
These accomplishments are a testament to our focused strategy and strong partnerships. As we move forward, we remain dedicated to delivering sustainable energy solutions and driving long-term value for our shareholders. Thank you for your continued trust and support in Scatec's journey.

Power Production performance driven by new plants in operation, recognition of reserve market revenues in the Philippines and strong contributions from Ukraine.
Revenues and other income were positively affected by new plants in operations after finalising the largest construction programme in Scatec's history in the first quarter of 2024. Revenues in the Philippines increased by NOK 51 million due to increased ancillary services revenues, mainly explained by the recognition of NOK 41 million of Reserve Market revenues from the first quarter 2024, which had not been recognised due to regulatory uncertainty. The revenue recognition is based on a clarification of the pricing mechanism announced by the authorities in the Philippines in the second quarter. Revenues were also affected by increased revenues from Ukraine driven by settlements for previous periods.
The decrease in revenues and other income of NOK 132 million compared to last year is mainly explained by a NOK 315 million gain from the sale of Upington recognised in Q2 2023 and FX effects.
Operating expenses were reduced by NOK 13 million, mainly explained by a NOK 71 million reversal of a credit loss provision recognised in the first quarter 2022 in Ukraine, related to receivables which have now been fully settled. The reversal was partly offset by transaction costs of NOK 25 million related to the Africa hydropower JV sales process and operating expenses from new projects in operation.
Power production EBITDA was NOK 873 million (992)2 in the quarter, mainly explained by the factors above.
Scatec ASA Second quarter 2024 Scatec delivered an EBIT of NOK 513 million, an increase of NOK 180 million year-on-year, mainly due to an impairment of the power plant in Argentina of NOK 350 million recognised in Q2 2023.
Depreciation increased year-on-year due to the new plants in operation, partly offset by divested entities.
Cash flow to Equity was NOK 442 million, positively impacted by NOK 170 million in proceeds from refinancing in the Philippines.

New plants in operation and high payments in Ukraine contributing positively to EBITDA EBITDA, MNOK

1) New projects include Kenhardt, Mendubim and Sukkur solar plants which reached COD in Q4 2023/Q1 2024
Projects under construction generated NOK 470 million of revenues in the quarter. NOK 122 million of contingencies related to Kenhardt were further released, leading to a gross margin of 36 percent. The underlying gross margin for the new projects under construction was 10 percent. The Mmadinare project in Botswana has experienced increased construction activity while approaching the steeper part of the S-curve in the quarter. The drivers for the progress have been engineering and deliveries of key components such as the structures and HV transformers. The Groofontein project in South Africa is moving as expected and the commencement of deliveries of piles, structures and inverters marking the project onset of increased activities going into the third quarter.

Scatec's focus on reducing the cost level led to a decrease in operating expenses of NOK 36 million. EBITDA ended at NOK 112 million (461) and Cash flow to Equity at NOK 88 million (366) in the quarter. The change from the previous year is explained by the high construction activity in the second quarter 2023.
In addition to the projects under construction, Scatec holds a solid portfolio of projects in backlog and pipeline, which are in different stages of development and maturity. The backlog consists of six projects totalling 621 MW including solar, battery storage and renewable capacity for green hydrogen.
During the quarter, two BESS projects in the Philippines of 56 MW in total were moved to the backlog. These projects will be connected to the existing Binga and Magat hydropower plants.
On 5 August two solar projects in Tunisia with a total capacity of 120 MW, reached financial close and will now start construction. These projects will be owned in partnership with Aeolus SAS, part of Toyota Tsusho Group.
The pipeline stands at 10,146 MW with a 63% share of solar projects and above 90% in focus markets. Following the announcement to exit the hydro Africa JV, hydropower projects in Africa have been taken out of the pipeline.
Increased the focus market share with attractive solar and wind constitute majority of the pipeline

Corporate revenues were in line with last year. Operating expenses decreased by NOK 3 8 million compared to the same quarter last year driven by the non -recurring cost booked as a part of the efficiency programme in the second quarter 2023 and subsequent savings.
Cash flow to Equity for the Corporate segment was negative NOK 243 million. The change compared to last year is explained by increased interest costs on corporate debt.

Full-year 2024 Power production EBITDA estimate maintained at NOK 3,900 million
In the Philippines, EBITDA for the third quarter 2024 is estimated at NOK 280-380 million based on average power production and lower power market prices compared to the second quarter. After roughly a year of El Niño with below normal rainfall, conditions are expected to normalise in the second half of the year. The reserve market for ancillary services in the Philippines reopened 5 August 2024. The remaining NOK 64 million of reserve market revenue earned in the first quarter is expected to be recognised in the third quarter when the pricing methodology is anticipated to be finalised and is included in the Q3 outlook number.
The full-year 2024 proportionate EBITDA estimate is unchanged with a mid-point of NOK 3.9 billion. The estimate reflects lower currency exchange rates for the second half of the year, offset by the reversal of credit loss provision in Ukraine in the second quarter.
The full year estimate for Ancillary Services in the Philippines is subject to regulatory uncertainty. Scatec delivers volumes under long-term ancillary services contracts which started in September 2023. The prices received are however in line with the previous expired contracts, as the higher awarded prices are pending regulatory approval. Approval is expected to be received later this year with retroactive effect. The difference between the awarded prices and the recognised prices is estimated to NOK 155 million for the year which is included in the full-year 2024 EBITDA estimate.
Full year power production guidance is estimated at 4,100-4,500 GWh on a proportionate basis. The decrease in midpoint from previous guidance is driven by Q2 performance. Third quarter 2024 power production is estimated at 1,150-1,250 GWh on a proportionate basis.
At the end of the second quarter 2024 the value of the remaining construction contracts was approximately NOK 2.6 billion related to the 273 MW Grootfontein project in South Africa, the first 60 MW of the 120 MW Mmadinare Solar Complex in Botswana, and the recently announced 120 MW Sidi Bouzid and Tozeur solar projects in Tunisia.
D&C revenues and margins are dependent on progress on development and construction projects. The above-mentioned projects commenced construction in the quarter, and the percentage of completion is expected to increase next quarter according to planned progress following an S-curve.
In line with previous communication, Scatec estimates to generate an average D&C gross margin of 8-10 percent for new projects under construction.
2024 EBITDA for Corporate is estimated to be between NOK -120 million and NOK -130 million.
All figures related to estimated performance are based on the Company's current assumptions and are subject to change. Additional insight is given to the hydro operations in the Philippines based on its large share of EBITDA for the Group, strong seasonality and exposure to fluctuations in the spot market. Further, all figures related to Power Production are based on assets in operations as per the end of the second quarter 2024, excluding any effects from future asset sales. EBITDA estimates are based on currency rates as of the end of the second quarter 2024.

Revenues increased to NOK 1,092 million (848) in the quarter, driven by new projects in operation and higher payment levels in Ukraine. Revenues for the first half year were mainly driven by the same factors as the second quarter, and the one-off compensation of NOK 152 million following the settlement agreement in Honduras as announced in the first quarter. Net gain from sale of project assets in the second quarter 2023 relates to the sale of the Upington power plant.
Net income from joint ventures (JVs) and associated companies increased to NOK 81 million (-362) in the quarter driven by a NOK 41 million recognition of reserve market revenues in the Philippines, as explained on page 5. In the same period last year, a NOK 350 million impairment of the power plant in Argentina was recognised. A gain on divestment of shares in the Mendubim project in Brazil of NOK 33 million contributed positively to the first half of this year, in addition to the factors mentioned above.
Operating expenses decreased by NOK 83 million explained by a NOK 80 million reversal of a credit loss provision recognised in 2022 in Ukraine and the Group's focus on cost management. The decrease was partly offset by transaction costs of NOK 25 million related to the Africa hydropower JV sales process and operating expenses from new projects in operation.
EBITDA reached NOK 930 million (904) in the quarter and NOK 1,946 million (1,533) year to date explained by the factors above.
Depreciation, amortisation and impairment for the quarter was NOK 297 million (218). The increase is explained by new plants in
operation, partly offset by depreciation for divested consolidated entities. The movement in depreciation, amortisation and impairment for the first half year is explained by the factors mentioned above as well as a NOK 81 million impairment in Honduras in the first quarter of 2024.
Net financial expenses were negative NOK 688 million. The increase compared to last year is explained by interest costs on non-recourse debt for new plants in operation, increased interest cost on corporate debt and negative foreign exchange effects. Further, the second quarter in 2023 was impacted by a gain of NOK 139 million on currency hedging. For the first half year, net financial expenses increased by NOK 778 million mainly explained by a NOK 254 million gain on currency hedging in the first half of 2023 as well as the factors explained above.
The Group recognised a tax benefit of NOK 22 million (-42) in the quarter and NOK 34 million (-143) in the first half year. See note 3 Income tax expense for further information.
Net profit for the quarter was negative NOK 33 million (402) while profit attributable to Scatec was negative NOK 55 million (302). The allocation of profits between non-controlling interests (NCI) and Scatec is impacted by the fact that NCI only represent shareholdings in the power plants that are fully consolidated, while Scatec also carries the cost of project development, construction, operation & maintenance and corporate functions. Profits allocated to NCI neither include net income from JVs and associated companies. For the first half year, net profit was negative NOK 59 million.

2) The figure includes the actual annual production for all renewable power projects where Scatec has operational control.
3) As per the WRI Aqueduct Water Risk Atlas, Scatec reports on water withdrawal for projects located within water-stressed areas in South Africa and Jordan.
4) The threshold for water withdrawal in South Africa is 68 mill litres per annum. There is no threshold for Jordan.
5) Strategic suppliers are potential and contracted suppliers of key component categories, including solar modules, batteries, wind turbines, inverters and substructures.
New projects in Brazil were subject to E&S desktop screening, due diligences and impact assessments during the second quarter. These new projects are Category B projects according to the IFC Performance Standards, with potential limited adverse E&S impact.
For the second quarter 2024, 0.64 million tonnes of GHG emissions were avoided for projects where Scatec has operational control. On a 100% basis, for all projects where Scatec has an ownership stake, 1.12 mill tonnes of GHG emissions were avoided.
The total water withdrawal amounted to 5.8 million litres in the second quarter 2024, slightly lower than first quarter.
At the end of second quarter 2024, 32% of leaders in the Company were female, compared to 31% in the previous quarter.
8.2 million working hours were exceeded with no fatalities or serious injuries (12 months rolling). The lost time incident frequency rate (LTIF) for the second quarter 2024 was 0.6 per million working hours, slightly lower than first quarter 2024.
During the quarter, 13 whistleblowing reports were received that related to health and safety at site accommodation, the workplace environment and alleged fraud. All reports are investigated according to the Company's procedures and twelve were subsequently closed, with one still under investigation.
Separately, one corruption allegation concerning an alleged request for low value kick-back payments from a supplier on site was reported directly to the Scatec compliance function. The allegation was substantiated following internal investigation, after which appropriate and robust disciplinary action was taken.
Scatec engages its strategic suppliers through tailored ESG workshops on an annual basis. The various topics include areas such as human rights, traceability, climate and emissions. For 2024, workshops are planned with all strategic suppliers during the third and fourth quarter.

Scatec ASA is incorporated and domiciled in Norway. The address of its registered office is Askekroken 11, NO-0277 Oslo, Norway. Scatec ASA was established on 2 February 2007. Scatec ASA ("the Company"), its subsidiaries and investments in associated companies ("the Group" or "Scatec") is a leading renewable energy solutions provider, accelerating access to reliable and affordable clean energy emerging markets. As a long-term player, Scatec develops, builds, owns, and operates renewable energy plants.
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with recognition, measurement, and presentation principles consistent with Standard ("IAS") 34 Interim Financial Reporting as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) adopted by the European Union (EU). These condensed interim consolidated financial statements are unaudited.
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements are condensed and do not include all of the information and notes required by IFRS® Accounting Standards as adopted by the EU for a complete set of consolidated financial statements. These condensed interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements. The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements are consistent with those
followed in the preparation of the Group's annual consolidated financial statements for 2023.
The functional currency of the companies in the Group is determined based on the nature of the primary economic environment in which each company operates. The presentation currency of the Group is Norwegian kroner (NOK). All amounts are presented in NOK million unless otherwise stated. As a result of rounding adjustments, the figures in some columns may not add up to the total of that column.
In the preparation of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS, management has made estimates and assumptions and applied judgements, that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis, considering the current and expected future market conditions. Changes in accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimates are revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
In the process of applying the Group's accounting policies, management makes judgements of which the following have the most
significant effect on the amounts recognised in the condensed interim financial statements.
Scatec's value chain comprises all downstream activities such as project development, financing, construction and operations, as well as having an asset management role through ownership of the power plants. Normally Scatec enters into partnerships for the shareholding of the power plant companies. To be able to fully utilise the business model, Scatec normally seeks to obtain operational control of the power plant companies. Operational control is obtained through governing bodies, shareholder agreements and other contractual arrangements. Other contractual arrangements may include Scatec's role as the developer of the project, EPC provider (construction), operation and maintenance service provider and asset management service provider.
When assessing whether Scatec controls a power plant company, the Group's roles and activities are analysed in line with the requirements and definitions in IFRS 10. Refer to note 2 of the 2023 Annual Report for further information on judgements, including control assessments made in previous years.
Interim period results are not necessarily indicative of results of operations or cash flows for an annual period. The Group's operating results are impacted by external factors, such as seasonal variations and weather conditions.
Operating segments align with internal management reporting to the Group's chief operating decision makers, defined as the Group management team. The operating segments are determined based on differences in the nature of their operations, products and services. Scatec manages its operations in three segments: Power Production (PP), Development & Construction (D&C) and Corporate.
The segment financials are reported on a proportionate basis. With proportionate financials Scatec reports its share of revenues, expenses, profits and cash flows from all its subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures without eliminations based on Scatec's economic interest in the subsidiaries. The Group introduced proportionate financials as the Group is of the opinion that this method improves earnings visibility.
Proportionate financials are further described in the APM section of this report.
The Group has reorganised its segment structure and the Service segment is reported as part of the Power Production segment, effective from 1 January 2024. Comparable periods have been restated accordingly.

The Group recognised a tax benefit of NOK 22 million (-42) in the second quarter. The difference between the effective tax expense for the quarter and the calculated tax expense based on the Norwegian tax rate of 22% is mainly driven by the differences in tax rates between the jurisdictions in which the companies operate, withholding taxes paid on dividends, currency effects and effects from unrecognised tax losses. The profit/loss from JVs and associates are reported net after tax which also impacts the effective tax rate.
The underlying tax rates in the companies in operation are in the range of 0% to 30%. In some markets, Scatec receives special tax incentives intended to promote investments in renewable energy.

As a main rule, Scatec uses non-recourse financing for constructing and/or acquiring assets in power plant companies. Compared to corporate financing, non-recourse financing has certain key advantages, including a clearly defined and limited risk profile. In this respect, the banks recover the financing solely through the cash flows generated by the projects financed.
The table shows the non-current non-recourse debt and the current non-recourse debt due within 12 months including accrued interest. The maturity dates for the loans range from 2028 to 2045.

| Current liabilities | 1,749 | 1,931 |
The current non-recourse debt as of 30 June 2024 includes NOK 806 million in non-recourse debt in Ukraine. None of Scatec's power plant companies in Ukraine with non-recourse financing were in compliance with covenants in the loan agreements at the end of the second quarter of 2024. Scatec has continuous and constructive dialogue with the lenders and the parties have agreed on a non-formalised "stand still".
Please refer to the 2023 Annual Report for information related to the construction loan provided by PowerChina Guizhou Engineering Co ("PowerChina") to Scatec for the Progressovska power plant in Ukraine. In 2022, Scatec and PowerChina signed a revised payment plan for the construction loan where part of the loan was paid in 2022 and 2023. The last tranche of EUR 22 million will be paid by mid-2025 and is classified as current by the end of the second quarter 2024. Scatec ASA has provided a corporate and bank guarantee to PowerChina in support of this obligation.
Scatec has no other recourse construction financing arrangements for other projects. Refer to Note 24 Guarantees and commitments in the 2023 Annual Report for further details.
The joint ventures in the Philippines are subject to tax reviews by the local tax authorities on a regular basis, and one entity received a final assessment notice related to the year 2019 of NOK 182 million equivalent (at 30 June 2024) in March 2022. The matter is disputed, and the amount is not included in net income from JVs and associated companies for the period.
The joint venture in Uganda is subject to a tax investigation by a local tax authority and received tax claims in total amount of NOK 324 million equivalent (at 30 June 2024) on Scatec's proportionate share during the third quarter 2023. The matter is disputed, and the amount is not included in net income from JVs and associated companies for the period. If the claims materialise, the joint venture will claim this through the tariff according to the Power Purchase Agreement. Should this be challenged the JV has certain indemnities under the Power Purchase Agreement with the off-taker. Further, Scatec has certain tax indemnities under the SN Power share purchase agreement with Norfund.
Reference is made to Scatec's previous communication around changes to the PPA in Honduras. In May 2022, a new Energy law came into force as introduced by the new Government of Honduras. On 31 January 2024, a PPA amendment agreement was signed between Scatec's operating entities in Honduras and the off taker ENEE. The agreement included a compensation for production in previous years, 5 years extended PPA period and lower tariff for future periods effective from 2024. Following the settlement agreement the overdue receivables in Honduras are reduced, and by the end of 30 June 2024 the outstanding balance was NOK 85 million.
The Sukkur project in Pakistan was awarded a "costs plus tariff" by the National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA) in 2020 and the project reached commercial operation in January 2024. The project has a 25-year PPA with the Central Power Purchasing Agency of Pakistan. The revenue is recorded based on a lower reference tariff and is subject to a "tariff true up" after approval of NEPRA. The tariff true up is a routine process for NEPRA projects and is expected to take approx. 18-24 months. Any differential revenue will be recorded in the period in which such approval is granted by the regulator.
On 19 December 2023, Scatec signed an agreement with Fortis Green Fund I Rwanda Holdings Ltd and Axian Energy Green Ltd to sell its 54% equity share in the 8.5 MW solar power plant in Rwanda for a gross consideration of NOK 14.2 million.

Scatec discloses alternative performance measures (APMs) in addition to those normally required by IFRS. This is based on the Group's experience that APMs are frequently used by analysts, investors and other parties for supplemental information.
The purpose of APMs is to provide an enhanced insight into the operations, financing and future prospects of the Group. Management also uses these measures internally to drive performance in terms of long-term target setting. APMs are adjusted IFRS measures that are defined, calculated and used in a consistent and transparent manner over the years and across the Group where relevant.
Financial APMs should not be considered as a substitute for measures of performance in accordance with IFRS. Disclosures of APMs are subject to established internal control procedures.
Cash flow to equity: is a measure that seeks to estimate value creation in terms of the Group's ability to generate funds for equity investments in new power plant projects and/or for shareholder dividends over time. Management believes that the cash flow to equity measure provides increased understanding of the Group's ability to create funds from its investments. The measure is defined as EBITDA less net interest expense, normalised loan repayments and normalised income tax payments, plus any proceeds from refinancing. The definition excludes changes in net working capital, investing activities and fair value adjustment of first-time recognition of joint venture investments. Normalised loan repayments are calculated as the annual repayment divided by four quarters for each calendar year. However, loan repayments are normally made
bi-annually. Loan repayments will vary from year to year as the payment plan is based on a sculpted annuity. Net interest expense is here defined as interest income less interest expenses, excluding shareholder loan interest expenses, non-recurring fees, and accretion expenses on asset retirement obligations. Normalised income tax payment is calculated as operating profit (EBIT) less normalised net interest expense multiplied with the nominal tax rate of the jurisdiction where the profit is taxed.
EBITDA: is defined as operating profit adjusted for depreciation, amortisation and impairments.
EBITDA margin: is defined as EBITDA divided by total revenues and other income.
EBITDA and EBITDA margin are used for providing consistent information of operating performance which is comparable to other companies and frequently used by other stakeholders.
Gross profit: is defined as total revenues and other income minus the cost of goods sold (COGS). Gross profit is used to measure project profitability in the D&C segment.
Gross margin: Is defined as gross profit divided by total revenues and other income in the D&C segment.
Gross interest-bearing debt: is defined as the Group's total interest bearing debt obligations except shareholder loan and consists of non-current and current external non-recourse financing, external corporate financing, and other interest-bearing liabilities, irrespective of its maturity as well as bank overdraft.
Net interest-bearing debt (NIBD): is defined as gross interestbearing debt, less cash and cash equivalents.
Net working capital includes trade- and other receivables, other current assets, trade- and other payables, income tax payable and other current liabilities.
Proportionate net-interest bearing debt: is defined as net interest bearing debt based on Scatec's economic interest in the subsidiaries holding the net-interest bearing debt.
The Group's segment financials are reported on a proportionate basis. The consolidated revenues and profits are mainly generated in the Power Production segment. Activities in Development & Construction segments mainly reflect deliveries to other companies controlled by Scatec, for which revenues and profits are eliminated in the Consolidated Financial Statements. With proportionate financials Scatec reports its share of revenues, expenses, profits and cash flows from all its subsidiaries without eliminations based on Scatec's economic interest in the subsidiaries. The Group introduced Proportionate Financials as the Group is of the opinion that this method improves earnings visibility. The key differences between the proportionate and the consolidated IFRS financials are that;
• Internal gains are eliminated in the consolidated financials but are retained in the proportionate financials. These internal gains primarily relate to gross profit on D&C goods and services delivered to project companies which are eliminated as a reduced group value of the power plant compared to the stand-alone book value. Similarly, the consolidated financials have lower power plant depreciation charges than the proportionate
financials since the proportionate depreciations are based on power plant values without elimination of internal gain.
See Note 2 for further information on the reporting of proportionate financial figures, including reconciliation of the proportionate financials against the consolidated financials.
A bridge from proportionate to consolidated key figures including APMs like gross interest-bearing debt, net interest-bearing debt and net-working capital is included in Scatec's Q2 historical financial information 2024 published on Scatec's web page.
