CEO Fred van Beers: 'Geopolitical incidents and developments over the past three years have impacted energy demand, supply and pricing and have fuelled discussions on the mix of fossil and sustainable sources of energy going forward. While it is without doubt that we need to transition to more sustainable energy sources, world leaders have different opinions about the required pace and mix of this transition. This has caused hiccups in the development of clean energy sources such as offshore wind and has pushed the realization of ambitions further to the future. Amid this uncertainty, we have made large steps forward in delivering on our longer-term strategic plans and our targets for the shorter and medium term.

We manufactured 158 kton in 2024. In line with the guidance we gave at the start of the year, production output was impacted by the integration of existing and newly built production facilities. Viewed against that background, both financial and non-financial results were satisfactory. We are very pleased with the safety performance, with all the indicators underlining the improved attitude towards safety in our production environment. The number of lost time incidents dropped from 10 in 2023 to 1 in 2024 and our LTIF fell from 8.28 in 2023 to 0.78 in 2024. In addition, our gross carbon footprint, inasmuch as it relates to our own operations (scopes 1 and 2), improved and decreased to 6,127 Mton from 8,085 Mton¹ in 2023. The roll-out of induction heating and replacing diesel with biodiesel for most of our inland shipping are the main drivers behind these improvements. The footprint of our own activities is only a fraction of the carbon footprint of the supply chain when we include our tier one suppliers (scope 3). With respect to our main suppliers, we are assessing possibilities for decreasing the carbon footprint for the entire supply chain. Our financial results with adjusted EBITDA of €38.4 million came in above guidance thanks to higher than expected storage revenues and licensing fees. After adjusting contribution for Marshalling, Engineering and fees for projects with no production volume, contribution per week (based on 52 weeks) was €2.3 million (2023: €2.5 million), with contribution per ton increasing from €669 to €759.

Looking to our longer-term strategic plans, we can look back with satisfaction on the very disciplined execution of the expansion of our manufacturing facilities and on the recruitment of motivated and committed staff under tight labour market circumstances. The construction work was completed on time and within budget. All three production lines are now in use and the first monopiles are being completed, although not yet fully at the pace we had hoped to see at this stage. The new factory is designed to produce approximately 200 reference monopiles of 120 meters in length and 11 meters in diameter per year in a 24/5 operation, equalling approximately 4 monopiles per week. We are now at an output level of 2 to 3 monopiles per week and in steady ramp-up mode towards design volumes.

The ramp-up of the production in the new facilities is determined by the speed at which new equipment comes fully on stream and new staff is gaining experience. This process is taking somewhat more time than was expected. The first monopiles have been completed and all of the orderbook projects are expected to be finished in time for the installation campaigns, contributing to our revised full year 2025 outlook of adjusted EBITDA in the range of €90-120 million. For 2026 our order book, including the shift in volumes from 2025, is well filled to reiterate our expectation for adjusted EBITDA of at least €160 million. In addition, we are the preferred supplier for 190 kton that will add to our orderbook for the period thereafter.

We also expanded our land at Maasvlakte 2, Rotterdam with 20 additional hectares for, in the first instance, a couple of years. This gives us extra storage capacity and enables us to resume marshalling activities that we had to put on hold as a consequence of the expansion work on our facilities. Last but not least, we continued our preparational work and business case studies together with Ballast Nedam for the removal of obsolete wind farms from the sea and with Dillinger Hütte for the re-use of the removed foundations as scrap for new low-carbon monopiles.

For the period past 2027, sufficient opportunity surfaces in the market. Tapping into this opportunity will, however, require rational and realistic tender procedures and a political drive to continue the roll-out of targets set for 2030 up to 2050 in the EU and the UK. The Clean Industrial Deal, which the European Union presented at the end of February 2025, is a good start that supports renewable energy sources and is a strong signal that the EU sees decarbonization as a driver of growth for European industries. It is now up to the EU regulatory bodies and member states to translate the Clean Industrial Deal into concrete actions, tender policies and requirements that boost acceleration of the offshore wind ambitions.'

Expanded manufacturing facilities at Maasvlakte 2, Rotterdam. Situation in July 2024

Full year 2024 results development

All amounts and numbers in this press release are based on the Company's annual accounts that will be published in draft on 19 March 2025 and that will be presented to the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders for approval on 9 May 2025. All numbers include the effect of IFRS16 unless expressly stated otherwise.

Currency effects do not affect Sif's financial results. Revenues and expenses are invoiced and paid in euros, also for projects in non-euro countries. The price of steel is a pass-through item. Fluctuations in steel prices therefore have an immediate effect on revenues, but not on earnings. The level of revenues is also subject to the structure of the project execution; if Sif subcontracts part of its scope, revenues of the subcontractor are accounted for in Sif's revenues. If Sif teams up in partnership, revenues of the joint venture partner are generally not accounted for by Sif.

Because of the above, total contribution and contribution per ton or week are more adequate performance indicators for Sif than revenues. All of Sif's activities take place in the Netherlands. Each monopile is uniquely designed and manufactured according to its location in a wind farm and all products are as a rule delivered 'free alongside ship' or 'free on board' Maasvlakte 2, Rotterdam. Occasionally products are 'delivered at place'. This applies to primary steel for transition pieces or pin piles for jackets that are mostly delivered at fabrication yards of Smulders in Belgium (primary steel for transition pieces) or at yards of jacket manufacturers, which are mostly elsewhere in Europe.

Contribution, EBITDA, Net Earnings

We manufactured 89 monopiles and 109 transition pieces in 2024 to deliver foundations for potentially 1,297 MW of offshore wind. This brings the total amount of green electricity potentially generated on Sif

foundations to over 18 GW. The difference compared to 2023, when we manufactured 141 monopiles and 182 transition pieces to contribute to potentially 2,622 MW of offshore wind, is attributable to the fact that the production in 2024 included more projects that had both monopiles and transition pieces. In contrast, in 2023 we often manufactured monopiles and transition pieces for different projects, each of which contributed to offshore wind capacity.

Contribution (revenue minus the cost of raw materials, subcontracted work, other external charges and logistic and other project-related expenses) was fractionally lower compared to 2023 at €146.5 million. Of total contribution, €1.2 million was generated by marshalling activities (€6.5 million in 2023) and €7.2 million was generated by engineering activities (€7.0 million in 2023). Other contribution from projects with no production volume stood at €18.2 million (€7.0 in 2023). Contribution per ton throughput, corrected for marshalling, engineering and fees for projects with no production volume, increased from €669/ton in 2023 to €759/ton in 2024.

After deduction of direct personnel expenses and production & general manufacturing expenses this resulted in gross profit of €80.4 million (18.7% of total revenues) compared to €81.9 million (18.0% of total revenues) in 2023. Production and general manufacturing expenses include maintenance of machinery, gas consumption, energy consumption, support materials and inventory of critical spare parts. Adjusted EBITDA in 2024 totalled €38.4 million compared to €42.2 million in 2023, impacted by the ramp-up phase of the new factory and higher costs related to scaling-up of the organization. Total EBITDA of €23.7 in 2024 is impacted by one-off expenses of €14.7 million, which are directly related to the expansion project (€5.4 million in 2023).

Profit attributable to the shareholder was €1.2 million in 2024 compared to €10.9 million in 2023. Earnings per share arrived at minus €0.04 compared to €0.32 per share in 2023. Loan conditions and the dividend payout regime on cumulative preference shares that relate to the investment in expansion of manufacturing facilities do not allow Sif to pay a dividend on ordinary shares if building activities are ongoing and if dividends on cumulative preference shares are being accumulated.

At the end of 2024 our workforce in FTE was made up of 445 permanent and 243 flexible staff (688 total) compared to 389 permanent and 262 flexible staff (651 total) at the end of 2023. The average permanent workforce in 2024 was 415 compared to 386 in 2023, reflecting a trend of an enlarging permanent workforce.

Banking facilities

Sif had debt and guarantee facilities at the end of 2024 with a banking consortium comprising ABN AMRO Bank N.V., Euler-Hermes, ING Bank N.V., Coöperatieve Rabobank U.A., Tokio Marine Europe SA, AKA Ausfuhrkredit-Gesellschaft mbH, DNB Bank ASA and DNB (UK) Ltd, with 5 June 2029 as the expiry date. Interest on the revolving credit facility is based on Euribor plus a 200 bps surcharge. Margins on the term loan do not depend on covenant levels.

Net working capital, CAPEX, cash flows and covenants

In 2024, Sif invested €169.2 million in tangible and intangible fixed assets (€180.4 million in 2023). Sif has leased approximately 82 hectares of land in Rotterdam. As of 2019, IFRS16 requires Sif to capitalize the right of use for land lease and to amortize this over a period in line with the estimated lease term. The positive

effect of IFRS16 in comparison to Dutch GAAP was approximately €14.4 million on EBITDA in 2024 (€7.4 million in 2023).

Net working capital (inventories + contract assets + trade receivables + current prepayments – trade payables – contract liabilities) amounted to -/- €178.5 million at the end of 2024 compared to -/- €133.1 million at the end of 2023. Cash from operations depends on invoicing milestones agreed with customers, subcontractors and suppliers and does not affect revenue or earnings recognition. The balance of cash and cash equivalents at the end of 2024 amounted to €113.8 million compared to €131.4 million at the end of 2023.

Covenant definitions include net debt and adjusted EBITDA on an ex-IFRS16 basis. The difference with IFRS16 net debt and EBITDA is largely determined by the lease of land at Maasvlakte 2 Rotterdam with the corresponding lease-commitments being amortized on the balance sheet.

Order book and outlook

2025 marks the next milestone in Sif's history as a leading provider of cornerstone equipment for the still relatively young offshore wind industry. Four years of preparation and dedicated work have resulted in the state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities at Maasvlakte 2 Rotterdam that has now started production on its first project for which the first monopiles have now been completed

The current orderbook for 2025 and beyond includes approximately 508 kton. This relates to projects such as Ecowende, Baltyk 2&3 and Oranjewind. Taking into account the delayed ramp up and the shift of production from 2025 to 2026, our adjusted EBITDA outlook for 2025 is revised to €90-120 million. The current order book in combination with the shifting volumes from 2025 into 2026 is sufficient to reiterate our adjusted EBITDA outlook for 2026 of at least €160 million.

Definition and Explanation of use of non-IFRS financial measures

(a) Contribution Total revenue from contracts with customers minus raw materials, subcontracted work and other external charges and logistic and other project-related expenses.
Contribution/ton Contribution is an important KPI since it excludes pass-through expenses. Together with production in Kton and EBIT it indicates the quality of Sif's performance in any reporting period.
For the contribution/ton measure the contribution is adjusted for contribution related to Marshalling, Engineering and fees for projects with no production volume.
(b) EBITDA Earnings before net finance costs, tax, depreciation and amortisation.
Adjusted EBITDA The company discloses EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA (both including and excluding the effect of IFRS 16) as supplemental non-IFRS financial measures, as the company believes these are meaningful measures to evaluate the performance of the company's business activities over time. The company understands that these measures are used by analysts, rating agencies and investors in assessing the company's performance. The company also believes that the presentation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA provide useful information to investors on the development of the company's business. The company also uses EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as key financial measures to assess operational performance.
Adjusted EBITDA (ex IFRS 16) Adjusted EBITDA is adjusted for expenses that relate to the research into and preparations for the required adjustment and expansion of our production facilities.
Adjusted EBITDA excluding IFRS 16 is provided to be able to be compared with non-IFRS reporting Companies, as the IFRS 16 impact on EBITDA is significant for Sif. Adjusted EBITDA is adjusted for expenses of lease contracts other than 'short-term leases' and 'low-value leases' and the impact of the difference in accounting treatment of lease incentives between IFRS 16 and the former lease standard IAS 17.
(c) EBIT Operating result plus other income. Adjusted EBIT is adjusted for expenses that relate to the research into and preparations for the required adjustment and expansion of our production facilities.
Adjusted EBIT EBIT is an important KPI since it mitigates the effect depreciation and amortisation has on EBITDA. Together with production in Kton and contribution it indicates the quality of Sif's performance in any reporting period.
(d) Net debt Loans and borrowings plus finance liabilities sale and leaseback minus cash and cash equivalents.
Net debt (ex IFRS 16) Net debt is presented to express the financial strength of the Company. The Company understands that analysts, rating agencies and investors use this measure in assessing the company's performance.
Net debt (ex IFRS 16) is presented to be compared with non-IFRS reporting Companies, as the IFRS 16 impact on loans and borrowings is significant for Sif.
(e) Net working capital Inventories plus contract assets plus trade receivables plus current prepayments minus trade payables and contract liabilities)
The company discloses net working capital as a supplemental non-IFRS financial measure, as the company believes it is a meaningful measure to evaluate the company's ability to maintain a solid balance between growth, profitability and liquidity. Net working capital is broadly analysed and reviewed by analysts and investors in assessing the company's performance. This measure serves as a metric for how efficiently a company is operating and how financially stable it is in the short term. It is an important measure of a company's ability to pay off short-term expenses or debts.
(f) ROACE Return on average capital employed, EBIT as a % of average equity plus loans and borrowings excluding lease-commitments minus cash. In the adjusted measure all values are adjusted for the effects that relate to the research into and preparations for the required adjustment and expansion of our production facilities.
(g) ROACE (adjusted) The company discloses the measure as supplemental non-IFRS financial measures, as the Company believes these are meaningful measures to evaluate the performance of the Company's business activities over time. The measure is therefore also included in the performance targets of management.

| (h) Solvency | This measure is a bank covenant, and is presented to express the financial strength of the Company.

Definition
Consolidated Tangible Net Worth (ex IFRS 16) divided by Consolidated Balance Sheet Total (ex IFRS 16)

Consolidated Tangible Net Worth = Equity attributable to shareholder minus dividend declared, Intangible assets, Upward revaluation of assets (other than financial instruments) after the 2023 Effective Date (5 June 2023) and Advanced factory payments converted into perpetual bond instruments

Consolidated Balance Sheet Total = Total assets minus Intangible assets and book value of the assets leased under the Rabo lease facility. |
| --- | --- |
| (i) Leverage | This measure is a bank covenant, and is presented to express the financial strength of the Company.

Definition
Total net debt (ex IFRS 16) divided by EBITDA ex exceptional items (ex IFRS 16)

Total net debt (ex IFRS 16) = Borrowings (ex IFRS 16) minus Cash and Cash Equivalents

Borrowings (ex IFRS 16) = Revolving credit facility plus term loans

EBITDA ex exceptional items (ex IFRS 16) = EBITDA (ex IFRS 16) minus:

• charge to profit represented by the expensing of stock options
• the restructuring of the activities of an entity and reversals of any provisions for the cost of restructuring
• disposals, revaluations, write downs or impairment of non-current assets or any reversal of any write down or impairment
• any exceptional, one off, non-recurring or extraordinary items which represent gains or losses relating to the P11 manufacturing expansion (with a maximum of EUR 10 million).

EBITDA (ex IFRS 16) = EBITDA adjusted for expenses of lease contracts other than ‘short-term leases’ and ‘low-value leases’ (including those expenses accounted for as project costs based on progress), the impact of the difference in accounting treatment of lease incentives between IFRS 16 and the former lease standard IAS 17 and expenses related to initial direct costs of operational lease contracts. |
