Scatec ASA Third quarter 2024
I am delighted to highlight our main accomplishments in the quarter, the strategic initiatives we have implemented, and our ability to drive attractive growth and progress on our strategy.
Firstly, we have achieved proportionate revenues of NOK 2.4 billion and an EBITDA of NOK 1.5 billion. This strong financial performance underscores our robust operational capabilities and disciplined growth. Power production EBITDA increased by 90% to NOK 1.5 billion, driven by a divestment in South Africa and strong contributions from the Philippines.
We have made significant construction progress, with an underlying D&C-margin of 12%, reflecting the attractiveness of our projects. Further, we have commenced the construction of two solar projects (120 MW in total) in Tunisia, in partnership with the Toyota Tsusho Group. This signifies our ability to partner with industry leaders to drive forward our renewable energy initiatives.
We have also signed a 25-year Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) for a 1.1 GW solar energy project coupled with 100MW/200MWh of battery storage in Egypt. This is an example of how we use innovative solutions from one country to generate new opportunities across our markets through working together.
Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE) is our top priority. However, this quarter we were starkly reminded of the significant risks associated with transportation when a tragic accident occurred involving a subcontractor in South Africa. A bus, transporting workers from their hometown, veered off the road, resulting in several fatalities and injuries. Our immediate priority has been to support the contractor in this difficult time, while we wait for the investigation report to understand how transportation safety can be improved.
Our portfolio optimisation is continuing with signed agreements to sell our African hydropower assets to TotalEnergies and our Vietnam wind power plant to the SUSI Asia Energy Transition Fund. We also divested parts of our solar power plants from REIPPP round 1 and 2 in South Africa to STANLIB, all aimed at optimising our asset portfolio and strengthening our financial position. Asset rotation, reducing ownership stakes in our operating assets to reinvest into new growth, will be a central part of our strategy going forward.
I am confident that we are well positioned for growth. Our strategy reaffirms our commitment to sustainable energy solutions, operational excellence, and value creation for all our stakeholders. Our core markets—South Africa, Egypt, Brazil, and the Philippines are expected to attract about 90% of our investments short to medium term. This is reflected in our backlog and pipeline. By focusing on these regions, we leverage our market insights, strong local teams, and key stakeholder

relationships. We remain opportunistic outside these markets, with clear milestones before further investment.
Scatec's self-funded growth strategy persists, focusing on solar PV, onshore wind, and batteries. To finance the plan, we target proceeds of at least NOK 4 billion from divestments by 2027 and will adopt a capital-efficient model with lower ownership stakes. We aim to allocate 75% of divestment proceeds to corporate debt repayments, strengthening our balance sheet and financial flexibility.
I extend my gratitude for your continued support and trust. We look forward to achieving new milestones together as we strive to deliver on our strategic objectives.

Production volume increased by 207 GWh compared to the same quarter last year, mainly driven by new power plants in operation.
Revenues and other income amounted to NOK 1.8 billion (1.0) 2 for the quarter, largely due to a NOK 383 million gain from the first phase of the partial sale of Kalkbult, Linde, and Dreunberg in South Africa concluded on September 30. Revenues in the Philippines increased by NOK 132 million driven by the reopening of the Reserve Market for ancillary services, and recognition of NOK 60 million of Reserve Market revenues from the first quarter 2024, which had not been recognised due to regulatory uncertainty. Revenues in the quarter were also positively affected by NOK 185 million revenues from new plants in operation and increased revenues from Ukraine of NOK 40 million driven by high payment level.
Underlying operating expenses increased by NOK 43 million when adjusting for a NOK 40 million one-off in Q3'23 related to water fee charges in the Philippines. The increase is mainly explained by new projects in operation. The increase in power production EBITDA to NOK 1,540 million (811) is mainly driven by the increase in revenue. Excluding the gain from sale of assets, the increase was NOK 346 million.
Scatec delivered an EBIT of NOK 1,216 million, an increase of NOK 696 million year-on-year, driven by the increase of EBITDA in the quarter, partly offset by higher depreciation from new plants in operation.
Cash flow to Equity was NOK 545 million. The proceeds from the closing of the sell-down in South Africa on 30 September, were received at the beginning of October, and are therefore not reflected in the Cash Flow to Equity for the quarter but will be recognised in the fourth quarter results.

Gain from divestment and higher revenues from Philippines contributed to increased EBITDA for the quarter EBITDA, MNOK

Revenues in the D&C segment reached NOK 631 million in the quarter, with a gross margin of 12%. The Groofontein project in South Africa made significant progress in the quarter, completing the majority of the structures and inverters and is now preparing for modules installation. The first phase of the Mmadinare project in Botswana also completed the structures and inverters and has commenced the installation of modules. In Tunisia, the Tozeur and Sidi Bouzid projects started construction during the quarter.
Operating expenses were NOK 63 million, leading to an EBITDA of NOK 13 million (107). The increase in operating expenses compared to last quarter is driven by progression on pipeline projects.
In the quarter, Scatec signed an agreement to divest the Dam Nai wind power plant in Vietnam and the transaction is expected to close within the first half of 2025 with an estimated accounting gain at approximately NOK 80 million on a proportionate and consolidated basis. Following the transaction Scatec will exit all operations in the country, and an impairment charge of NOK 54 million related to development projects, mainly in Vietnam, was recognised leading to an EBIT of negative NOK 43 million.
Cash flow to Equity ended at NOK 22 million (91) in the quarter. The change from the previous year is explained by the high construction activity in the third 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 1,643 MW including solar, battery storage and renewable capacity for green hydrogen.
During the quarter, the 1.1 GW solar + 100 MW battery project in Egypt was moved to backlog.
After reaching financial close in October, the 103 MW Mogobe BESS in South Africa reached financial close and was moved to construction. Based on this, Scatec now has 565 MW in construction.
The pipeline stands at 10,089 MW with a 62% share of solar projects and more than 90% in core markets.
Attractive solar and wind constitute majority of the pipeline

More than 1 GW of solar moved to backlog

Corporate revenues were in line with last year. Operating expenses was NOK 47 million in the quarter resulting in EBITDA of negative NOK 34 million. The reduction year -on -year is mainly due to a positive one -off in 2023.
Cash flow to Equity for the Corporate segment was negative NOK 23 8 million. The change compared to last year is explained by increased debt amorti sation and increased interest costs on corporate debt.

Full-year 2024 Power production EBITDA estimate increased to NOK 4.25 billion due to partial divestment of South African projects
In the Philippines, EBITDA for the fourth quarter 2024 is estimated at NOK 270-370 million based on average power production and lower power market prices compared to the third quarter.
The full-year 2024 proportionate EBITDA estimate has a mid-point of NOK 4.25 billion. This is an increase of NOK 350 million compared to the last quarter. The estimate includes the effects of partial divestment of Kalkbult, Dreunberg and Linde, third quarter overperformance in the Philippines and in Ukraine, and foreign currency effects. Additionally, the prices received under the longterm ancillary services contracts are still awaiting regulatory approval. Due to the uncertainty regarding the timing of this approval, we have excluded the price variance of NOK 155 million from the fullyear 2024 EBITDA estimate. See the second quarter 2024 report for further details.
Full year power production guidance is estimated at 4,200-4,300 GWh on a proportionate basis. The decrease in midpoint from previous guidance is driven by partial divestment of Kalkbult, Dreunberg and Linde. Fourth quarter 2024 power production is estimated at 1,100-1,200 GWh on a proportionate basis.
At the date of reporting the value of the remaining construction contracts was approximately NOK 3.4 billion related to the 273 MW Grootfontein and the 103 MW Mogobe BESS project in South Africa, the first 60 MW of the 120 MW Mmadinare Solar Complex in Botswana, and the 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.
The estimated average D&C gross margin for projects currently under construction and in backlog is increased from 8-10% to 10-12%.
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 attention 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 third quarter 2024, excluding any effects from future asset sales. EBITDA estimates are based on currency rates as of the end of the third quarter 2024.

Revenues increased to NOK 1,161 million (804) in the quarter, driven by new projects in operation and higher payment levels in Ukraine.
Net gain from sale of project assets of NOK 1,491 million relates to the partial sale of of Kalkbult, Linde and Dreunberg on September 30. Following closing of the first phase, Scatec holds an economic interest of approximately 31 % in Kalkbult and 28 % in Linde and Dreunberg, and the projects are accounted for as investments in JV and associated companies by the end of the quarter.
Net income from joint ventures (JVs) and associated companies increased to NOK 315 million (143) in the quarter mainly driven by the positive impacts from the Philippines as described on page 5.
Operating expenses increased by NOK 46 million due to new plants in operation, leading to an EBITDA of NOK 2,659 million (686).
Depreciation, amortisation and impairment for the quarter was NOK 330 million (202 ). The increase is explained by new plants in operation, partly offset by depreciation for divested consolidated entities. Further, an impairment of NOK 54 million related to development costs in Vietnam was recognised as Scatec is exiting all operations in the country.
Net financial expenses were negative NOK 671 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.
The Group recognised a tax expense of NOK 12 million (benefit of NOK 3 million) in the quarter. See Note 3 Income tax expense for further information.
Net profit for the quarter was positive NOK 1,646 million (95 ). Net profit excluding the gain was NOK 155 million, an increase compared to previous quarter. Profit attributable to Scatec was positive NOK 1,621 million (45 ). 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 nor associated companies, or gain/loss from sale of project assets.

Scatec ASA Third quarter 2024
New projects in Brazil and South Africa were subject to E&S desktop screening, due diligences and impact assessments during the third quarter. These new projects are Category B projects according to the IFC Performance Standards, with potential limited adverse E&S impact.
In third quarter 2024, 0.69 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, 1.2 mill tonnes of GHG emissions were avoided.
The total water withdrawal amounted to 3.0 million litres in the third quarter 2024.
At the end of third quarter 2024, 33% of leaders in the Company were female, a solid improvement from third quarter 2023. The Company continued with its diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging (DEIB) initiatives, including a strong focus on the recruitment and internal promotions of female leaders.
During the quarter, close to 7.0 million hours were worked with no fatalities or serious injuries (12 months rolling). The lost time incident frequency rate (LTIF) for third quarter 2024 was 0.4 per million working hours, lower than second quarter 2024.
We were starkly reminded of the significant risks associated with transportation when a tragic accident occurred involving our subcontractor on the Groofontein project, South Africa, in September. A bus transporting worker from a rest and recuperation break back to the project site veered off the road and rolled down a mountainside, resulting in several fatalities and injuries. While we await the full police report to determine the cause of the accident, we have already integrated immediate learnings into our company's HSSE project policies, with a particular focus on our operations in South Africa. Governance

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 expense of NOK 12 million in the third quarter compared to a tax benefit of NOK 3 million in the same quarter prior year. The difference between the effective tax expense for the quarter and the calculated tax expense based on the Norwegian tax rate of 22% is driven by the gain on sale of Kalkbult, Linde, and Dreunberg solar power plants in South Africa which is tax exempted. The difference is also impacted 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.

The current non-recourse debt as of 30 September 2024 includes NOK 758 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 third 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.

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 187 million equivalent (at 30 September 2024) in March 2022. In September 2024 the local tax authorities issued a final decision on the disputed assessment, whereby the claim was adjusted to the total amount of NOK 2 million and the matter is closed.
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 319 million equivalent (at 30 September 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 September 2024 the outstanding balance was NOK 69 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. Depending on the conclusion of the process, any differential revenue will be recorded in the period in which the approval is granted by the regulator while an unfavorable outcome of the process may negatively impact the economics of the project.
For one of Scatec's pipeline projects in India, Scatec has a signed PPA and there is an ongoing litigation process that may impact the project timeline and economics. Further, there are certain milestone commitments for the PPA and the project if backed by a bank guarantee from Scatec ASA of USD 8 million. By the end of the third quarter, the process remains to be concluded on and no provision was made.
On 30 July 2024, Scatec signed an agreement with TotalEnergies to sell its 51% equity share in the African hydropower joint venture with Norfund and British International Investment, in line with the Group's strategy. The sale covers Scatec's indirect interest held through SN Power of the operating 255 MW Bujagali hydropower plant in Uganda, and a development portfolio consisting of the 361 MW Mpatamanga in Malawi, and the 206 MW Ruzizi III. The transaction is subject to conditions and consents being received from stakeholders including lenders and joint venture partners and is scheduled to close within the first half of 2025. The associated balances of the investments in JVs and related holding entities, including part of the goodwill deriving from the acquisition of SN Power, are presented as held for sale as per 30 September 2024.
On 13 September 2024, Scatec signed an agreement to sell the 39 MW Dam Nai Wind farm and the associated operating company in Vietnam to Sustainable Asia Renewable Assets ("SARA"), a utility-scale renewable energy platform of the SUSI Asia Energy Transition Fund ("SAETF"). Scatec will receive an upfront consideration of USD 27 million for its 100% equity share at completion, with potential for additional earn-out payments of up to USD 13 million that are subject to certain conditions being fulfilled prior to May 2026. The transaction is expected to close within the first half of 2025, subject to customary regulatory approvals. The transaction is estimated to generate an accounting gain of USD 8 million on a proportionate and consolidated basis, including a fair value estimate of the contingent consideration. The associated assets and liabilities of the subsidiaries are presented as held for sale as per 30 September 2024
On 30 September 2024, Scatec closed the first phase of the partial sale of its ownership in the Kalkbult, Linde and Dreunberg solar power plants to Greenstreet 1 Proprietary Limited, a subsidiary of STANLIB Infrastructure Fund II, for a gross consideration of NOK 258 million for the ownership share sold in the first phase of the transaction. Following the closing of the first phase, Scatec holds an economic interest of approximately 31% in Kalkbult and 28% in Linde and Dreunberg. From the date of the transaction the power plants are accounted for as a joint venture investment in Scatec's group accounts, generating a net gain from sale of project entities of NOK 1.491 million on a consolidated basis and NOK 383 million on a proportionate basis. The second phase of the transaction is expected to close in the first half of 2025 when Scatec's economic interest will be further reduced to approximately 13% in Kalkbult and 12% in Linde and Dreunberg. The closing is subject to customary approvals. The remaining gain on a proportionate basis will be recognised at closing of the second phase of the transaction. The investment in JVs and associated companies to be sold in the second phase is classified as held for sale as per 30 September 2024.

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 Q3 historical financial information 2024 published on Scatec's web page.

Commercial Operation Date (COD): A scheduled date when certain formal key milestones have been reached, typically including grid compliance, approval of metering systems and technical approval of a plant by independent engineers. Production volumes have reached normalised levels sold at the agreed off-taker agreement price. This milestone is regulated by the off-taker agreement with the power offtaker. In the quarterly report grid connection is used as a synonym to COD
