Enefit Green financial results for Q3 2021

Teade

In  Q3 2021, Enefit Green group total  revenues increased by 32% y-o-y to EUR36.4m
and  EBITDA was up by 66% y-o-y at  EUR25.5m. During the quarter, the group earned
net profit of EUR15.3m, which is 270% more than in third quarter of 2020.

Aavo Kärmas, Chairman of the management Board of Enefit Green comments:

"The  financial results of Enefit Green  in the latest quarter were outstanding.
The  results were  driven by  solid electricity  and heat generation volumes and
considerable  increase in power prices.  Quarterly average Nord Pool electricity
price  in the Baltic region reached almost EUR100/MWh, which is approximately 2.6
times higher than in Q3 2020.

During  the quarter we  made good progress  with the wind  and solar development
projects.  In September,  we took  the final  investment decision to build 75 MW
Akmene  wind farm in Lithuania. We also reached construction readiness with 8 MW
Zambrow  solar park in  Poland. We have  set ourselves a  target to increase our
installed  capacity in electricity production by 2.3 times to 1.1 GW by 2025. To
achieve  this target, Enefit Green expects to invest around EUR600m in 2021-23. We
raised  nearly EUR100m via the recent IPO  and signed new loan agreements with SEB
and OP banks worth EUR130m to finance these investments."

Sales revenue and other operating income

Group's  total revenues  increased by  32% y-o-y to  EUR36.4m in  Q3 2021. Group's
electricity  production in Q3 2021 was  250 GWh, increasing slightly in contrast
to  the comparative  period .  However, the  implied captured  electricity price
(including  various subsidies) received by the group across markets increased to
EUR116/MWh in Q3 2021, compared with 78 EUR/MWh in Q3 2020.

The  most important revenue driver was the surge in the electricity price in the
Estonia  price area of  the Nord Pool  (NP) power exchange,  which increased the
group's  revenue by around EUR9.5m. The average price in the NP Estonia price area
was  EUR97.5/MWh in  Q3 2021, compared  with EUR36.8/MWh  in Q3 2020. The calculated
sales prices of the group's production entities that are exposed to fluctuations
in  the NP  Estonia electricity  price were  EUR94.6/MWh and  EUR32.8/MWh in the two
periods.

Another  major factor was pellet sales, which fell by EUR3.0m in Q3 2021, dropping
from  26 thousand tonnes in  the comparative period  to 4 thousand tonnes in the
reporting  period. Sales for Q3  2021 were low because in  the first half of the
year  market  activity  was  high  and  our  H1 sales grew to a record-high 115
thousand tonnes.

Heat  generation increased by 102% y- o-y mainly  on the back of additional heat
sales  from  Enefit  Green´s  Iru  waste-to-energy  (WTE) facility. Although the
average  price  fell  by  45% due  to  reduction of regulated heat price, output
growth increased heat sales revenue by EUR0.3m.

The  most significant contributor to other operating income was renewable energy
and  efficient  cogeneration  support  received  by  the Iru WTE facility, which
increased  by EUR0.7m y-o-y. The rise is attributable to a contract amendment that
took  effect in February  2021, enabling the plant  to produce heat in efficient
cogeneration regime and thus to receive relevant support all the year round.

The  renewable energy support received by Estonian wind farms decreased by EUR0.3m
y-o-y  because the 12-year eligibility period  of the earliest completed part of
the Aulepa wind farm (39 MW) expired in July 2021.


EBITDA and segmental breakdown

Group's  EBITDA increased by 66% y-o-y to EUR25.5m in Q3 2021 driven mostly by the
elevated  Estonian electricity prices. In addition, reduced pellet sales revenue
did  not impact EBITDA by same magnitude, as increased production into inventory
resulted in reduced operating expenses by EUR2.6m compared to Q3 2020. Group fixed
expenses increased by 4% or EUR0.3m mainly on the back of the expanded development
team.

Based on total revenues and EBITDA for the reporting period, the group's largest
segment  is  the  Wind  energy  segment  (with  66% of total revenues and 73% of
EBITDA).  The Cogeneration segment contributed  30% to total revenues and 28% to
EBITDA.  The smallest reportable  segment was Solar  energy, which accounted for
4% of  the group's total revenues and 3% of the group's EBITDA. Among reportable
segments,  Wind and  the Cogeneration  delivered the  strongest EBITDA growth as
they  benefited the most from higher electricity prices, which contributed EUR9.5m
to total revenue.


Net profit

The  group's net profit increased almost fourfold compared to Q3 2020, amounting
to  EUR15.3m for the reporting period. The most significant contribution came from
high  market prices of electricity, but  additional positive impact was realised
from reduced depreciation expenses and lower interest expenses.


Capital Expenditures

The  group's capital  expenditures in  Q3 2021 totalled  EUR8.1m, EUR4.2m  up on the
comparative   period.  Growth  resulted  from  development  expenditures,  which
amounted  to EUR7.9m. Out  of the latter,   EUR7.7m was spent  on the development of
wind  farms under construction:  the second instalment payment of EUR1.6 m for the
Shilale  II wind  farm and  the first  instalment payment  of EUR6.2m  for the wind
turbines of the Akmene wind farm. Expenditure on the improvement and maintenance
of  existing assets was EUR0.2m compared with  EUR0.6m in the comparative period and
was mainly related to the maintenance of cogeneration facilities.
