Financial review

Growth in revenues and EBITDA

Net profit impacted by:

  • Non-recurring IPO costs of NOK 8 million
  • Gain on sale of land rights for the Utah Red Hills project of NOK 17 million
  • Restructuring costs and impairments Japan, as well as a write down related to a former sale of project rights of NOK 17 million
  • Non-cash currency losses on intercompany balances of NOK 13 million, down from a gain of 18 million in Q3'14

SSO's profit is impacted by growth investments

  • Scatec Solar is investing early phase project development and construction that impacts SSO's share of net profit
  • However these investments pays off through access to attractive projects and significant cash generation

D&C margins reduces consolidated PP&E

  • Margins created through D&C of power plants are eliminated in consolidated financial statement
  • Elimination booked against PP&E in consolidated financial statements

Leads to:

  • A negative effect on consolidated equity short term as corresponding non-recourse finance is included at full value
  • Improves consolidated net profit over time through reduced depreciation
