Elmera Group ASA: Q2 2023 results
Q2 2023 Highlights:
-Net revenue adj. NOK 376m (-10% YoY) and EBIT adj. NOK 106m (-24% YoY).
-2% volume growth YoY in Norway driven by growth in number of deliveries. 26%
volume decrease in the Nordic segment due to fixed price exposure phase-out.
-EBIT adj. improvement of NOK 25m YoY in the Nordic segment following the
phase-out of legacy fixed price contracts.
-Successful migration of mobile customer portfolio to Telia's network. Migration
related churn of 15 thousand subscriptions - in line with expectations.
-Cost efficiency programme on track.
-Proceeds from Telia transaction (NOK 115m) received and dividend of 1.5 per
share (NOK 163m) distributed.
-QoQ reduction in NWC and NIBD by NOK 350m and NOK 355m respectively.
Significant YoY improvement in the Nordic segment and strong cash flow
In the second quarter of 2023, net revenue adjusted was NOK 376m and EBIT adj.
was NOK 106m. The decrease from second quarter 2022 was primarily driven by
product mix changes in the Consumer segment, as the market is converging towards
spot-based products. Over the last twelve months the percentage of variable
contracts in the consumer segment has been reduced from 27% to 7%.
The Nordic segment improved significantly compared to second quarter last year -
in fact, the EBIT adj. of NOK 18m is the second-best quarterly result since the
acquisition of Switch Nordic Green in 2020. The majority of legacy fixed price
contracts with price and volume risk have now been phased out, and the focus
going forward is to improve profitability
and growth in the segment.
The Telia transaction was completed in April, and the proceeds from the
transaction of NOK 115m were received. The migration of the customer base to
Telia's network is the largest of its kind in Norwegian telecom history and was
successfully completed in the quarter. The migration related churn has been in
line with expectations. Through improved
terms from Telia, the mobile business will positively impact the profits in the
New Growth Initiatives segment from Q3 2023.
The cost efficiency program is progressing as planned and is one of the Group's
main priorities in 2023. Due to the reduction in net working capital and the
results generated in the period, net cash from operating activities was NOK 417m
and net interest-bearing debt decreased by NOK 355m.
Please find attached the quarterly report and quarterly presentation.

Elmera Group ASA: Q1 2023 results
Q1 2023 Highlights
-Net revenue adj. NOK 534m (+8% YoY), EBIT adj. NOK 198m (+15% YoY) and volume
sold 5.8 TWh (flat YoY)
-The phase-out strategy for the variable product portfolio has had a significant
positive impact on the Consumer segment in the quarter, balancing the losses
from Q4 '22
-The Business segment continues the strong and consistent financial performance.
Organic customer growth of 8 thousand deliveries (+7%) in the quarter, the
highest since Q2 '18
-Positive trend in the Nordic segment. The majority of the fixed price contracts
with profile risk has been phased out per quarter-end Q1 '23
-Cost efficiency programme progressing according to plan
-The transaction with Telia was completed on 21 April 2023. The guaranteed
consideration for 90% of the customer portfolio (NOK 115m) has been received
-Dividend of NOK 1.5 per share was distributed on 5 May 2023
Growth in net revenue and EBIT and positive development in several business
areas
After two quarters with extraordinary elspot price volatility and customer
mobility, the first quarter of 2023 has been more in line with the historical
normal, even though elspot prices have remained relatively high through the
quarter. Normalised markets have contributed to reduced risk in the variable
contract portfolio and in the residual fixed price portfolio in the Nordic
segment, both important contributing factors to the 7% YoY growth in net revenue
adj. and 15% YoY growth in EBIT adj. The phase-out strategy for the variable
products in the Consumer segment has been well executed in the quarter, and the
risk margin covered the realised risk in the quarter and also contributed to
balance some of the losses from Q4 '22. The portfolio constitutes 8% of the
Consumer segment's deliveries at quarter-end and had a significant positive
impact on the segment's quarterly results.
The Business segment is performing well, and the Nordic segment is on a positive
trend as the legacy fixed price contract portfolio with profile risk is being
phased out. In the Group's New Growth Initiatives there are several positive
developments, particularly the cooperation with Telia which progresses according
to plan. The Group's cost efficiency program is also on track and is one of the
Group's main priorities in the coming quarters.

Elmera Group ASA: Q4 2022 results
Q4 Highlights:
-Group net revenue of 372 NOKm and EBIT adj. of 28 NOKm. Volatile elspot prices
and customer migration led to losses on variable contracts in the Consumer
segment in the quarter
-Solid customer growth in the quarter with more than 20,000 new deliveries in
the Consumer segment
-Continued strong performance in the Business segment, with all time high
pipeline into 2023
-Loss in the Nordic segment due to residual profile costs - significant YoY
improvement and in line with guidance from Q3
-Strategic cooperation with Telia on mobile customers - positively affecting
profitability
-Proposed dividend: NOK 1.50 per share
Losses due to volatile elspot prices and customer migration
Elspot prices have been highly volatile in Norway in the quarter. This has been
especially notable in Central and Northern Norway, where supply conditions in
Sweden have led to an unprecedented price increase in December.
Pursuant to a regulatory change from 1 November, variable contracts have a
mandatory 30-day notification period for price increases. However, as customers
have no corresponding binding period, future delivery volumes have become less
predictable in phases with high price volatility and shifts in consumer
preferences.
Elmera Group has assisted customers in migrating from variable to spot contracts
and has experienced a significant shift toward spot contracts in Q4. At
year-end, variable contract customers represent 11% of the Consumer segment,
down from approximately 27% at the beginning of Q4.
In order to manage price risk in the variable contract portfolio, the Group
enters into forward contracts on parts of the estimated delivery volume. With
decreasing elspot prices through October and November, the value of the forward
contracts for the variable products these months was negative. Due to
significant product migration, the remaining variable contract volume was not
sufficient to absorb the negative impact from hedges. In addition, the rapidly
increasing prices in December has had a negative margin impact on the remaining
unhedged volumes on variable contracts.
The Group has stopped sale of variable contracts and have initiated a soft
phase-out strategy for the product. The reduction in the variable contract
portfolio through Q4 reduces the margin risk associated with the product
category going forward.

Elmera Group ASA - Trading update
Consumer segment
Elspot prices have been highly volatile in Norway in the quarter. This has been
especially notable in Central and Northern Norway, where supply conditions in
Sweden have led to an unprecedented price increase in December.
Pursuant to a regulatory change from 1 November, variable contracts have a
mandatory 30-day notification period for price increases. However, as customers
have no corresponding binding period, future delivery volumes have become less
predictable in phases with high price volatility and shifts in consumer
preferences.
Elmera Group has assisted customers in migrating from variable to spot contracts
and has experienced a significant shift toward spot contracts in Q4. At
year-end, variable contract customers are expected to represent less than 15% of
the Consumer segment, down from approximately 27% at the beginning of Q4. This
significantly reduces the margin risk associated with the product category going
forward.
In order to manage price risk in the variable contract portfolio, the Group
enters into forward contracts on parts of the estimated delivery volume. With
decreasing elspot prices through October and November, the value of the forward
contracts for the variable products these months was negative. Due to
significant product migration, the remaining variable contract volume was not
sufficient to absorb the negative impact from hedges. In addition, the rapidly
increasing prices in December has had a negative margin impact on the remaining
unhedged volumes on variable contracts. The trend of lower energy consumption
levels per delivery compared to periods with lower electricity prices has also
continued in the quarter.
Despite the challenging market conditions, the Group has achieved a customer
growth of approximately 20,000 in the Consumer segment so far in Q4.
Outlook
As a result of the stated developments, the Consumer segment is expected to
deliver negative EBIT adjusted in Q4 2022. Performance in the other segments is
expected in line with previous communication. Consequently, Elmera Group does
not expect to meet the EBIT adjusted outlook for 2022. For 2023, the Group
expects EBIT adjusted in the area of NOK 500 million. Due to increasing interest
rates and continued high forward electricity price levels, interest expense
associated with electricity purchase is expected to significantly increase in
2023 compared to 2022.
Further details will be provided in the Q4 earnings release 16 February 2023.
Reference is made to stock exchange notice of even date concerning Elmera Group
ASA entering into cooperation with Telia Company AB on mobile customers.

Elmera Group ASA: Q3 2022 results
Q3 Highlights:
-Strong financial results across all reporting segments. Group net revenue of
424 NOKm (+15% YoY) and EBIT adj. of 121 NOKm (+33% YoY).
-Customer growth of 3.5k deliveries in the Consumer segment in the quarter. The
trend was positive trough the quarter - and has accelerated so far in Q4.
-Positive volume effect from fixed price contracts in the Nordic segment has
offset negative effects from profile costs in the quarter.
-Business matrix organisation fully implemented. High activity across brands and
borders and all-time high pipeline Q422 and Q123.
-More than 400.000 customers and alliance partners' customers now use the
group's mobile apps.
Strong quarter in a challenging market
The third quarter of 2022 was a strong quarter for Elmera Group. The Group's net
revenue adj. was 424 NOKm, a growth of 15% YoY, while EBIT adj. was 121 NOKm in
the quarter, an increase of 33% YoY. Electricity prices have been high, but also
very volatile, driven by the geopolitical situation in combination with reduced
nuclear power generation and weak hydrology. The peak/off-peak price differences
and area price differences are still significant and continue to impact profile
costs in the Nordic segment, but positive volume effects offset the negative
impact from profile costs in the segment this quarter.
In the Consumer segment, the positive trend in customer development continues
from the last quarters, and in Q3 the growth was 3 500 deliveries. The sales
activity was also high across the brands in the Business segment, and the
pipeline for the next quarters is at an all-time high level. Solar panel
solutions continue to be in high demand, and the sales capacity has been
increased to meet the increased demand.
The interest expense for credit related to electricity purchase from Statkraft
Energi AS, the Group's main supplier of electrical power, has in previous
reporting been recorded in Direct cost of sales. From this quarterly report and
going forward the interest compensation will be reported in Interest expense.
Comparable figures have been adjusted accordingly. Further details can be found
in the appendix to the quarterly presentation.

Elmera Group ASA: Q2 2022 results
Q2 2022 Highlights:
o Solid financial results despite low consumption volumes in the quarter
o Group net revenue of 403 NOKm (+4% YoY) and EBIT adj. of 123 NOKm (-13% YoY)
in the quarter
o Significant positive shift in trend in the customer development in the
Consumer segment, with a stable customer development in the quarter
o Continued growth in the Business segment, both in profitability and deliveries
o Stable development in the strategic customer base in the Nordic segment.
Revenues negatively affected by peak/off-peak prices
o New organisational model implemented
Solid financial results despite low consumption volumes
The second quarter of 2022 has been yet another quarter with high electricity
prices. The geopolitical situation in combination with weak hydrology are
resulting in an extraordinary price level while limited transmission capacity is
causing huge area price differences. Simultaneously, peak/off-peak price
differences have been significant in Sweden and Finland, and particularly in
June, affecting profits negatively.
The Group's net revenue adj. was 403 NOKm and EBIT adj. was 123 NOKm in the
quarter - a solid result, despite low consumption volumes following the high
elspot price level and a mild June. The organic customer development in the
Consumer segment has made a significant positive shift in trend, and the
Business segment continues its growth. The Nordic segment's strategic customer
portfolio is stable, while low revenue tender customers represent the change
from last quarter.
The Group implemented a new organisation model in the quarter, where replicating
the success from Fjordkraft's Business segment into the Gudbrandsdal Energi and
Nordic Green Energy brands, as well as support the realisation of cost
efficiency and synergies are important focus areas.

Elmera Group ASA: Q1 2022 results
Q1 2022 Highlights:
-Group net revenue of 484 NOKm and EBIT adj. of 160 NOKm in the quarter - in
line with trading update
-Loss of 20k electricity deliveries in the quarter - however, the trend at the
end of the quarter was fairly stable
-All time high financial performance in the Business segment this quarter
-Warm weather - volume sold decrease 20% YoY, negatively affecting the Consumer
segment and Alliance in particular
-Share buyback program initiated, starting from 5 May 2022
-Dividend of NOK 3.5 per share for 2021 to be distributed to eligible
shareholders today, 5 May 2022
Mild weather and low consumption volumes
The first quarter of 2022 has been a quarter with mild weather across the
Nordics. This results in lower consumption volumes and has affected both the
Consumer and NGI segments negatively this quarter. The Business segment,
however, is delivering its best financial performance of all time, with an EBIT
adj. of 100 NOKm. The Group's net revenue adj. was 484 NOKm and EBIT adj. was
160 NOKm in Q1 2022.
Elspot prices remain at a very high level, driven by the weather situation and
the oil & gas price level, which again is affected by the ongoing war in
Ukraine. The peak/off-peak differences continue to affect the Nordic segment
negatively, however, there were no losses from under-hedging of the fixed price
contracts in the quarter.
On the annual general meeting on 26 April, the company name was changed to
Elmera Group ASA. This was done to reflect that The Group constitutes a
diversified business consisting of significantly more than the electricity
supplier Fjordkraft AS and the development of the business and the company
portfolio is expected to continue under the Group's new name going forward.
Please find attached the quarterly report and quarterly presentation.

Fjordkraft Holding ASA: Q4 2021 results
With reference to the stock exchange notice from 13 January 2022, where The
Group provided an update on Q4 2021 results and customer development. Please
find further details below.
Q4 Highlights:
oStrong financial performance in the Norwegian operations in a challenging
market environment
-Consumer EBIT adj. (+24% YoY)
-Business EBIT adj. (+22% YoY)
-First quarter with profitability in the New Growth initiatives segment
o The Nordic segment has been significantly affected by the extraordinary
situation in the Nordic power market in Q4 - loss of 71 NOKm in the quarter from
hedging inefficiencies
o Loss of 34' customers in the Consumer segment in Q4 due to intense competition
and termination of "price match" service
o Proposed dividend of 3.5 NOK per share for 2021
Strong financial performance in the Norwegian operations. Nordic segment
affected by extremities
In the fourth quarter of 2021 we experienced market extremities without
historical comparison. Elspot prices were record high, driven by geopolitical
tension, high gas prices and a weak hydrological situation. During December, the
daily elspot price in Finland and Southern Sweden passed 4 NOK/kWh on several
occasions, and on average the price level and peak/off-peak price differences
were around four times the normal level. The fixed price contracts in the Nordic
segment are hedged according to our best estimated volume and the associated
profile and volume risks are covered in the markup when these contracts are
initiated. However, the market extremities that occurred in Q4, in combination
with very cold weather in Sweden and Finland, especially in December, led to
losses from hedging inefficiencies in the Nordic segment. The Group has
initiated a process of aligning the business customers' contract structure and
product portfolio with the Norwegian model in order to reduce the associated
volume risk on the fixed price contracts going forward. Thus far, the
consumption volumes in Sweden and Finland in Q1 have been in line with
expectations and we have no indication of under-hedging in January. However, the
increased peak/off-peak difference is likely to continue throughout Q1, which
will negatively affect the segment's profitability in the quarter.
In Norway, the market situation has also been extraordinary, albeit not as
extreme as in Sweden and Finland. The financial performance in the Norwegian
segments is strong, with tailwind from good hedges. All segments show
significant YoY growth and New Growth Initiatives is reaching its first quarter
with profitability since the launch of Mobile in 2017. However, the Group's net
revenue adj. decrease 6% YoY and EBIT adj. decrease 16% YoY due to the losses in
the Nordic segment.
Please find attached the quarterly report and quarterly presentation.

Fjordkraft Holding ASA: Update on Q4 2021 results and customer development
Extreme market conditions with both positive and negative consequences For
Fjordkraft Holding ASA.
Financial performance:
The Nordic segment underperforms, Consumer and Business segments overperform.
Nordic segment - Q4 2021:
The financial results in Nordic Green Energy ("NGE", registered as Switch Nordic
Green AB, a subsidiary in the Fjordkraft Group constituting the "Nordic"
reporting segment) in Q4 2021, and the last part of December in particular, have
been significantly affected by the extraordinary situation in the Nordic power
market. The Nordic segment's EBIT adj. is expected around 75 NOKm negative in Q4
2021 and is related to losses on fixed price contracts due to the inability to
fully hedge these efficiently in the current market situation.
The fixed price customers' consumption was significantly higher than normal due
to a cold December, which has resulted in an under-hedged situation in NGE.
Normally, these situations would have a limited financial impact, but due to the
current extraordinarily high price level and spread between market price and
contract fixed price, this under-hedging had a significantly negative financial
effect in December. In addition to this, an extraordinary peak/off-peak intraday
and intramonth price volatility throughout Q4, resulted in a much
higher-than-normal profile cost, also negatively affecting margins on the fixed
price portfolio.
-The situation in the power market has been extraordinary, and NGE was
negatively impacted by this particularly in December, where both the price level
and peak/off-peak differences were around four times higher than usual. The
fixed price contracts related to the business segments in Sweden and Finland
have a different set-up compared to the fixed price contracts in Norway, where
fixed prices typically are offered on a set volume. We are in the process of
aligning the contract structure across the countries in order to reduce the
associated volume risk, says CEO Rolf Barmen.
-Despite this quarter's results, we are still satisfied with the acquisition of
NGE. In our view, the acquisition was done at attractive terms, and we firmly
believe that NGE will continue to serve as a platform for further growth in the
Nordics, says Barmen.
-We have a great team in place both in Vasa and Stockholm, the market conditions
are equally challenging for all the players in our market areas, but with the
implementation of the nuclear power plant Olkiluoto 3 (1,600 MW), which is
expected to be fully operative in June 2022, the base load in the area will be
more stable and the market is expecting a more normalised price level from then,
which will reduce the risk in NGE, says Barmen.
Consumer segment - Q4 2021:
EBIT adj. margin in Q4 2021 is expected to be in the area of 38% (Q4 2020: 32%),
giving a full year EBIT adj. margin of 32%, higher than the targeted 30%. Net
revenue is expected up around 3% from Q4 2020 and full year growth around -1%,
in line with guidance for 2021. Good hedges, good product management and good
cost control under extreme market conditions are the main drivers for the good
results.
Business segment - Q4 2021:
EBIT adj margin in Q4 2021 is expected to be in the area of 64% (Q4 2020: 59%),
and full year EBIT margin around 60%, in line with the full year guidance
("higher than the long-term target of 52-54%"). Net revenue growth is expected
up around 14% from Q4 2020 and around 23% growth on full year figures (full year
guidance: 'above double digit'). Good hedges, good product management and good
cost control are the main drivers for the results.
Financial performance in summary:
All segments apart from the Nordic segment are developing strongly in Q4 2021
and the Group expects to report an EBIT adj. in the area of 130 -140 NOKm in the
quarter (Q4 2020: 168 NOKm).
All financial figures are subject to changes as the Group is currently preparing
its consolidated accounts.
Customer development Q4 2021:
In total, the customer base of the Group increased by 5k customers. The growth
has the following distribution:
In the Consumer segment the number of electricity deliveries decreased by 34k in
Q4 2021. All brands are proportionally quite equally affected.
-In addition to an intense competitive situation, we decided to discontinue our
"price matching" service this quarter, and this has naturally resulted in a
decline in number of customers. This was a commercial decision for us, as we
have experienced that an increasing number of customers on this product were
frequently swapping between contracts with negative margins. We believe in
offering products with sustainable margins and will continue to develop our
product portfolio going forward. We target an organic stabilisation in number of
customers from the current level during the year, says Barmen.
In the Business segment the number of deliveries was flat, Alliance growth was
5k, Nordic growth was 5k and Mobile increased by 29k subscribers due to the
acquisition of Skymobil.
The Q4 2021 results will be presented on 10 February and in connection with the
presentation there will be a Capital Markets Update where both details on the
results and updated targets for the next years will be presented.

Q3 Highlights:
-29% YoY increase in net revenue and 13% YoY increase in EBIT adj.
-The organic growth in the Norwegian market is positive again (+1,753), after a
couple of challenging quarters
-Skymobil customer portfolio migrated to Fjordkraft from Q4 (01.10.2021)
-Purchase price of 1,025 NOK per subscriber, conditional of payment of first
invoice

A good quarter in an extraordinary market
Elspot prices have been increasing throughout the third quarter, from a level of
around 0.5 NOK/kWh in the southern part of Norway at the beginning of the
quarter and reaching a high of more than 1.2 NOK/kWh in September 2021. For
reference, the Norwegian area prices at the end of September 2020 were at an
all-time low, around 0.02 NOK/kWh.
The increasing elspot prices represent a more challenging market sentiment for
Fjordkraft. Despite this challenging market, Fjordkraft has been able to grow
net revenue, i.a. through the hedging strategy on variable contracts and
simultaneously offer the customers a strong value proposition with prices lower
than the market price. Net revenue increase 29% YoY and EBIT adj. increase 13%
YoY, and after a couple of challenging quarters, the organic growth in the
Norwegian market is positive again.

Fjordkraft Holding ASA: Q3 2021 kundeutvikling
I Q3 vokste Fjordkraft-konsernet med 1.753 strømleveranser i den norske delen av
virksomheten.
Privatsegmentet vokste med 727 strømleveranser, Bedriftssegmentet vokste med 659
strømleveranser og Utvidet Allianse vokste med 367 strømleveranser.
Nordic-segmentet falt med 1.584 strømleveranser i kvartalet. Kundeutviklingen i
de strategisk viktige segmentene er positiv, og nedgangen i kvartalet skyldes
fall i anbudskunder med lav inntjening.
-Vi er meget godt fornøyde med kundeutviklingen dette kvartalet. Særlig gledelig
er utviklingen i Consumer-segmentet, hvor vi fortsetter den positive trenden fra
slutten av Q2 og etter lengre tids Covid-restriksjoner har fått opp
aktivitetsnivået i våre fysiske salgskanaler igjen. I Business-segmentet leverer
vi organisk vekst for åttende kvartal på rad og den underliggende kundeveksten i
Nordic-segmentet er også positiv, sier konsernsjef Rolf Barmen.
Antall mobilabonnenter falt med 3.495 i kvartalet.
-Vårt NGI-segment utvikler seg også bra. Utvidet Allianse går som planlagt, og
vi ser frem til overgangen til MVNO-plattformen i mobilmarkedet, som både vil gi
oss spennende kommersielle muligheter og bidra til forbedret lønnsomhet i New
Growth Initiatives-segmentet vårt, sier Barmen.
Kundebasen i Fjordkraft Holding ASA ved utgangen av Q3:

Fjordkraft Holding ASA: Q2 2021 results
Q2 Highlights:
o 24% YoY increase in net revenue and 14% YoY increase in EBIT adj.
o # of deliveries in the Consumer, Business and Nordic segments decreased by
1,959 in the quarter
o This is an improvement of 15,292 vs. the development in Q1 2021
o In Q3 2021: Acquisition of SkyMobil's customer portfolio of ~38k subscribers
Growth in net revenue and EBIT adj.
In the second quarter of 2021, the average daily system price was 647% higher
than in the second quarter of 2020. While 2020 as a whole, including the second
quarter, was a year with exceptionally low electricity prices due to the
hydrologic balance, Q2 2021 has been affected by an increase in the price of CO2
quotas, coal and gas, in addition to low amounts of generation from wind power.
Thus, Q2 2020 represented a very favourable market situation, while the market
dynamics in Q2 2021 have been more neutral.
Net revenue increase 24% YoY and EBIT adj. increase 14% YoY, mainly driven by
M&A. The number of electricity deliveries decreased by 1,959 in the quarter,
which is a significant improvement from last quarter's development. On 25th of
August, Fjordkraft announced the acquisition of SkyMobil's customer portfolio of
about 38 thousand subscribers. In addition to the announced platform change
within Mobile, this acquisition will contribute positively to the New Growth
Initiatives segment.

Fjordkraft Holding ASA: Fjordkraft acquires Skymobil's mobile customer portfolio
Fjordkraft acquires Skymobil's mobile customer portfolio
Fjordkraft has signed an agreement with Skymobil AS regarding the acquisition of
their portfolio of mobile customers.
-Fjordkraft has been a challenger in the Norwegian telecom duopoly since
entering the market four years ago, and this was an opportunity we could not
pass on, says Christian Kalvenes, EVP Consumer in Fjordkraft.
M&A more relevant with increased profitability
Skymobil AS was established in 2020 as a mobile service provider. Later in 2020,
Skymobil acquired the customer portfolio of Hudya. Skymobil has been a price
fighter, and the company has won several price comparisons in 2020 and 2021.
Skymobil has just below 38,000 mobile subscribers in the Consumer market,
distributed across all of Norway.
-We are entering into an MVNO platform, which will improve the profitability of
our mobile business. This makes acquisitions more relevant, and scale is key in
this business, says Arnstein Flaskerud, EVP Strategy and M&A in Fjordkraft.
Fjordkraft Mobil had close to 135,000 mobile subscribers at the end of Q2 2021
and is the largest mobile service provider without network operations.
No need for change of SIM
Skymobil has excelled in price comparisons for small data packages.
For the customers, the transition from Skymobil to Fjordkraft will be a seamless
experience.
-Almost all of the customers will get terms as good or better than what they
currently have, and the customers will not need to change their SIM cards due to
the transaction, says Kalvenes.
The customers will also get access to an attractive loyalty program, a new and
improved smart phone application and Fjordkraft's award winning customer
service. The customers will continue to be serviced through Telenor's network.

Fjordkraft Holding ASA: Q2 2021 customer growth
Fjordkraft Holding ASA's customer base increased by more than 20,000 electricity
deliveries in Q2.
The primary driver for the increase was Extended Alliance (+22,099), but the
Nordic segment (+6,587) and the Business segment (+2,094) did also contribute
positively to the Group's customer growth in the quarter.
The Consumer segment (-10,640) shows a positive trend throughout the quarter.
The shut down of physical sales channels affected the growth in April, May and
first part of June, but after the reopening of physical sales channels in the
first part of June there was a significant change in trend, resulting in
positive growth figures in the last part of June.
"The customer growth in the Consumer segment improved significantly in June,
which we are very pleased about. Given the government's plan for reopening after
Covid 19, we expect our sales activities to further increase going forward. For
the seventh consecutive quarter, the Business segment delivers positive organic
growth, and both Sweden and Finland are developing as planned" says Rolf Barmen,
CEO of Fjordkraft.
Extended Alliance grew by 22,099 deliveries in the quarter, following the start
up of two new Alliance partners, while number of mobile subscribers decreased by
526 in the quarter.
"The demand for our Extended Alliance offering is strong, and in combination
with the transition to the MVNO platform in the Mobile segment, this will
contribute to improved profitability in the New Growth Initiatives segment" says
Barmen.
The customer base of Fjordkraft Holding ASA at the end of Q2:
Consumer: 725,514 (-10,640)
Business: 110,970 (+2,094)
Nordic: 167,414 (+6,587)

Fjordkraft Holding ASA: Q1 2021 results
Q1 Highlights:
-6% YoY increase in net revenue and 9% YoY decrease in EBIT adj. versus a
historically strong Q1 in 2020
-Unfavourable market dynamics with significant and rapid increase in elspot
prices, particularly in January
-Number of deliveries in the Consumer and Business segments decreased by 17,251
in the quarter
-Negative one-off effect of about 10,900 deliveries from the Innlandskraft
transaction, primarily due to stop of sales activities and the termination of
the Eidsiva brand
-Extended Alliance grew by 2,908 deliveries in the quarter, number of mobile
subscribers grew by 2,280, while number of deliveries in the Nordic segment
decreased by 3,466 due to phaseout of tender customers with low profitability
Unfavourable market dynamics affecting the quarter
The first quarter of 2021 has been a quarter with great volatility in the
electricity market. At the start of the quarter, the Norwegian area prices
varied between 24 and 27 NOK øre per kWh. On 8 January, four out of five area
prices in Norway were priced at 80 NOK øre per kWh, a rapid and significant
increase driven by cold and dry weather. The volatility continued into February,
with prices even passing 1 NOK per kWh in certain areas. When prices increase
with such magnitude over a short period of time, this puts pressure on the
Group's margins, which is the main driver for the 9% YoY decrease in EBIT
adjusted. Net revenue adjusted increased by 6% YoY and was driven by M&A growth.
The number of deliveries in the Consumer and Business segments decreased by
17,251 in the quarter. In Q1, the Group experienced a negative one-off effect of
about 10,900 deliveries from the Innlandskraft transaction, primarily due to
stop of sales activities and the termination of the Eidsiva brand. The one-off
effect from the termination was expected, however, the effect was larger than
anticipated. Apart from the negative one-off effect from the termination of the
Eidsiva brand, the shutdown of physical distribution channels following Covid-19
has had a negative impact on the Group's growth figures. Negative media
attention following the Consumer Authority dialogue has also had an impact - all
these matters are now settled. The certification "Trygg Strømhandel" is
progressing as scheduled, and the first electricity retailers are expected to be
certified in Q3 2021.
Extended Alliance grew by 2,908 deliveries in the quarter, number of mobile
subscribers grew by 2,280, while number of deliveries in the Nordic segment
decreased by 3,466 - the latter is related to the phaseout of tender customers
with low profitability.

Fjordkraft Holding ASA: Q1 2021 customer growth and Group EBIT adjusted estimate
The number of electricity deliveries in the Consumer and Business segments
decreased by 17,251 in first quarter 2021. The Consumer segment decreased by
19,150 deliveries, while the Business segment grew by 1,899 deliveries.
In Q1, the Group experienced a negative one-off effect of about 10,900
deliveries from the Innlandskraft transaction, primarily due to stop of sales
activities and the termination of the Eidsiva brand. The one-off effect from the
termination was expected, however, the effect was larger than anticipated.
In Q1, the Fjordkraft brand and the TrøndelagKraft brand decreased by about
6,400 deliveries.
Extended Alliance grew by 2,908 deliveries in the quarter, and number of mobile
subscribers grew by 2,280, while number of deliveries in the Nordic segment
decreased by 3,466.
-It has been a tough first quarter due to the market dynamics, Covid-19 and
negative media attention. In a high elspot price sentiment, the customer churn
increases, and normally we are able to win new customers through our physical
distribution. However, the majority of our physical distribution has been shut
down due to Covid 19 this quarter. That said, the development in sales figures
in the Business segment, Mobile and Extended Alliance are uplifting, and we
expect a positive growth in the Consumer segment once the Covid restrictions are
lifted, says CEO Rolf Barmen.
-The Nordic segment is developing as planned. The decrease in number of
deliveries in the quarter is related to the phaseout of tender customers with
low profitability. We experience a growth in sales figures in the strategic
customer segments in both Sweden and Finland, says Barmen.
The Group expects to report an EBIT adjusted of about 210 MNOK in Q1 2021 (Q1
2020: 238 MNOK), and an EBIT adjusted margin of about 41% (Q1 2020: 49%).
-As mentioned, this has been a tough first quarter. The elspot price development
last year was highly favourable, giving us a historically strong start to the
year, while the elspot price development this year has been a lot more
challenging. This has a negative impact, mainly on the Consumer segment, while
the other segments are showing a positive development, says Barmen.
The number of deliveries at the end of Q1 2021 for all brands in the Group are
presented below:
Consumer: 736,154
Business: 108,876
Nordic: 160,827
Extended Alliance: 58,918
Mobile: 134,675

Fjordkraft Holding ASA: Q4 2020 results and Capital Markets Day
Q4 Highlights:
o 25% YoY increase in net revenue and 14% YoY growth in EBIT adj. driven by M&A
growth
o # of deliveries passing the 1m milestone with the inclusion of Nordic Green
Energy's deliveries
o The transaction was completed on 10 November 2020 and figures and financials
are included as from then
o Gross revenue decrease by 20% YoY, driven by a mild quarter with volatile and
relatively low elspot prices
o Reached the targeted 125k mobile subscribers milestone in the Fjordkraft brand
by year-end 2020
Growth through M&A
The fourth quarter has been another eventful quarter for Fjordkraft. The Switch
Nordic Green acquisition was completed on 10 November and took the Group past
the 1m electricity deliveries milestone. Another milestone was reached when
Fjordkraft Mobile passed the targeted 125k mobile subscribers at year-end.
Adding the ~7k subscribers in Gudbrandsdal Energi, the Group has a total of 132k
subscribers and is the largest mobile service provider in the Norwegian market.
Net revenue adj. increased by 25% YoY while EBIT adj. increased by 14% YoY, with
M&A as the driver for the growth. In a market where competition is intense and
margins are constantly under pressure, acquisitions are important to keep the
business growing. Nordic Green Energy's financials are included as from 10
November and will be reported as a separate segment, while Innlandskraft's
figures are included in the Consumer and Business segments. All three months in
the quarter were warmer than both last year and the normal, especially November
and December, which both were 4.6 degrees Celsius warmer than normal. Elspot
prices have been volatile in Q4, with a price decrease in the first half,
followed by a price increase through the second half of the quarter.
Please find attached the quarterly report and quarterly presentation, as well as
the Capital Markets Day presentation.

Fjordkraft Holding ASA: Q4 2020 customer growth
The number of electricity deliveries decreased by 3,264 in the Consumer segment
and Business segment combined in the fourth quarter.
Historically, the Consumer segment has comprised the brands Fjordkraft and
TrøndelagKraft. As from Q4, the segment also includes the Gudbrandsdal Energi
and Eidsiva Marked brands. In total, the number of deliveries in the segment
decreased by 5,982 in the quarter.
The Business segment also comprises the above-mentioned brands as from Q4, and
the number of deliveries increased by 2,718 in the quarter.
Extended Alliance grew with 9,892 deliveries in the quarter.
Combined growth for all the electricity retail segments in Norway was 6,628
deliveries in the quarter.
At quarter end, the Consumer segment comprised 755,304 electricity deliveries,
the Business segment comprised 106,977 electricity deliveries and Extended
Alliance comprised 56,010 deliveries.
Switch Nordic Green comprised 164,293 deliveries at quarter-end.
In total, the Group had 1,082,584 electricity deliveries at the end of the

fourth quarter of 2020, reaching a total of 125,194 subscriptions at the end of

this gives a total number of mobile subscribers of 132,395 for the Group.
"The development in the Business segment is strong, while we see a negative
impact from Covid-19 in the Consumer segment, due to close down and
significantly lower activity from some of our most important distribution
channels. The growth within Alliance continues, and we are also satisfied with
reaching the targeted 125 thousand mobile subscribers in the Fjordkraft brand,"
says Rolf Barmen, CEO of Fjordkraft.

Fjordkraft Holding ASA: The Consumer Authority's decision on the Consumer Council's complaint about Fjordkraft's purchase price contracts
Reference is made to the stock exchange announcement made by Fjordkraft Holding
ASA on 27 October 2020, regarding the Norwegian Consumer Council's allegations
about purchase price contracts.
Fjordkraft was one of 29 electricity retailers included in the Consumer
Council's letter of complaint to the Consumer Authority, proposing that purchase
price contracts are illegal. In their response to Fjordkraft, the Consumer
Authority clarify how the regulations on disclosure of certain price elements
included in the purchase price contracts should be interpreted.
For Fjordkraft, making the necessary adjustments in order to comply with the
Consumer Authority's response is a simple task. This will be done within 6
January 2021, which is the deadline set by the Consumer Authority.
-We are happy about the Consumer Authority's clarification. With slight
adjustments we may continue to offer our customers this popular kind of
contract, which is great news for our customers, says CEO Rolf Barmen.
The Consumer Authority's decision has no impact on the Group's profitability and
further growth.

Fjordkraft Holding ASA: Q3 2020 results
Q3 Highlights:
-Strong financial performance with a 10% YoY increase in net revenue and 25% YoY
growth in EBIT adj.
-Solid growth, both organically and from M&A, as the deliveries from the
Innlandskraft acquisition are included as of 30 September
-Kantar's Q3 survey shows that Norwegian consumers are satisfied with their
electricity retailer. Fjordkraft is no.1 in Top of Mind and Brand Awareness
-Fjordkraft is in line with the industry average on customer satisfaction, well
above peers like Fortum, NorgesEnergi and Hafslund
-Fjordkraft acquired SNG, a Nordic retailer, in October. The transaction was
completed 10 November 2020
Strong growth - both financially and in number of customers
Growth in number of customers has been a key pillar in Fjordkraft's strategy. In
a fragmented industry with a high level of competition, the organic growth is a
good metric for the retailer's attractivity in the market. It is therefore
pleasing to announce that Fjordkraft had an organic growth in Q3 of almost six
thousand electricity deliveries in the Consumer and Business segments combined,
and through the inclusion of the deliveries from the Innlandskraft acquisition,
the total growth in the quarter was more than 240 thousand deliveries. In
addition to this, Fjordkraft acquired Switch Nordic Green, a Nordic retailer
with operations in both Sweden and Finland, in October. This positions
Fjordkraft for further growth in the Nordics, as the markets become more and
more similar, and competition becomes increasingly pan-Nordic.
The third quarter has also been a strong one financially. Net revenue increased
10% YoY and EBIT adjusted increased 25% YoY. Volume sold increased 4% YoY and
was driven by growth in number of deliveries as well as increased average
consumption per delivery in the Consumer segment. Elspot prices have been
volatile in the quarter. In July, prices continued at a historically low level,
but then increased through August and reached a spike in early September, before
they fell again. The temperature was colder than last year in two out of three
months in the quarter.
Please find attached the quarterly report and quarterly presentation.

Fjordkraft Holding ASA: Fjordkraft acquires Switch Nordic Green and becomes a Nordic electricity retailer
Fjordkraft acquires Switch Nordic Green and becomes a Nordic electricity
retailer
29 October 2020
Fjordkraft Holding ASA (the "Company" "Fjordkraft")) has entered into an
agreement for the acquisition of 100% of the shares in Troms Kraft Strøm AS
("Target") and its subsidiary Switch Nordic Green AB ("SNG") (the
"Transaction"), from the current owner Troms Kraft AS.
Key information about SNG:
oSNG is a Nordic electricity retailer with operations in both Sweden and
Finland, around 60 employees and their headquarter is located in Stockholm,
Sweden.
oSNG had a total number of electricity deliveries of 167 thousand as per 31
August 2020, of which 100 thousand in Finland and 67 thousand in Sweden. 27
thousand of the consumer deliveries in Sweden are through a 3rd party agent.
oThe deliveries are split 78/22 between the Consumer and Business segment.
oSNG has an estimated market share of 2.8% in Finland and 1.2% in Sweden.
o2019 EBIT for SNG was SEK 52m, and underlying EBIT (ex. Covid-19 effects) is
estimated to SEK ~50m.
Strategic rationale
oThe acquisition positions Fjordkraft for further growth in the Nordics, as the
markets become more similar and competition becomes increasingly pan-Nordic. The
presence of our tech spin off Metzum AS, through its subsidiary Metzum AB, also
supports further Nordic expansion.
oIncreased attractivity in the pan-Nordic business segment and potential for
increased sale of value added services.
oSwitch Nordic Green, with its brand Nordic Green Energy, is perceived as a
green and renewable focused supplier - a good basis for further growth and a
strong match with Fjordkraft's brand position.
oProfessional and experienced management with detailed knowledge of the Swedish
and Finnish market.
The key terms of the Transaction are as follows:
oThe Transaction will be structured as an acquisition of all shares in the
Target by the Company, from Troms Kraft AS (the "Seller"). Other non-SNG related
assets will be taken over by Seller in advance of closing, so that Target's only
material asset at the time of closing is the shares in SNG.
oThe purchase price is based on an enterprise value of the Target of NOK 375
million on a cash and debt free basis and assuming an agreed normalised level of
working capital. In addition to the enterprise value of NOK 375 million, there
are tax losses carried forward in the Target and its subsidiary. The value of
the tax losses carried forward and the final purchase price will be decided
through SNG's tax assessment for 2020. The purchase price payable for the shares
will follow a typical ´locked box´ mechanism, and will be finally calculated
based on a set of audited accounts for the Target to be established as per 31
August 2020. An interest will accrue on the purchase price payable in cash from
31 August 2020 until closing of the Transaction.
oThe purchase price shall be paid in cash by the Company to Troms Kraft AS. The
acquisition is expected to be financed by long-term debt through Fjordkraft's
existing available facilities and available cash. The completion of the
Transaction is not subject to financing.
oThe Seller bear all risk and cost associated with any ongoing conflict or
dispute.
oCompletion is subject to certain customary closing conditions for transactions
of this type, including completion of the pre-closing reorganisation of Target
by transfer of assets.
oClosing of the Transaction is expected to take place in November 2020, subject
to satisfaction of the closing conditions.

Fjordkraft Holding ASA: Statement regarding the Norwegian Consumer Council's allegations
In light of the last days' media coverage and speculations regarding the
Norwegian Consumer Council's (Forbrukerrådet) criticism towards the electricity
retail industry, and as the facts of the matter have become clearer, Fjordkraft
has decided to release the following statement to clarify the matter to
shareholders, the financial markets and to the media.
Firstly, Fjordkraft disagrees with the statements from the Norwegian Consumer
Council in this matter.
The Norwegian Consumer Council's criticism can be split into two key issues:
i) That short-term special offers where the duration of the special price is not
explicitly stated are noncompliant with marketing law or the standard contract
for delivery of electricity established by Energy Norway (Energi Norge)
ii) That price plans based on the NordPool spot price with an unspecified
addition of purchasing costs are noncompliant with the standard contract for
delivery of electricity established by Energy Norway
Fjordkraft is mentioned by the Norwegian Consumer Council as one of the
retailers where, according to their view on the matter, issue ii) is relevant.
Fjordkraft offers this kind of contract to its customers (the majority of
Fjordkraft's spot products include purchasing costs, covering balancing costs,
trading fees and credit cost). The customer is informed about this through the
terms and conditions in accordance with Fjordkraft's interpretation of the
current rules and regulation.
The financial effect of the addition of this purchasing costs is minimal.
Fjordkraft's total revenue from the addition of purchasing costs to certain
contracts amounts to less than 2% of total revenue in the Consumer segment and
about 3% of net revenue in the Consumer segment.
Fjordkraft takes the allegations from the Norwegian Consumer Council very
seriously and strive to comply with the current rules and regulations in the
market. To Fjordkraft's best knowledge, Fjordkraft's terms and conditions are in
line with rules and regulations as well as established market practice. Because
Fjordkraft takes these allegations very seriously, Fjordkraft has initiated a
legal review and evaluation of their terms and conditions from the law firm
Schjødt. Fjordkraft has also been working with Energy Norway to establish
industry standards for sale and marketing of electricity for a long period of
time and welcomes increased transparency and uniformity in the market.
-To our best knowledge, we operate well within the current rules and regulations
in the market. However, increased transparency and a level playing field is
something we applaud and have been working on for a long time, says CEO Rolf
Barmen.
-We maintain our financial outlook. The allegations from the Norwegian Consumer
Council and possible actions from the Consumer Authority (Forbrukertilsynet)
will have a minimal impact on the Group's profitability and further growth, says
Barmen.

reaching a total of 122,414 subscriptions at the end of the period.

Fjordkraft Holding ASA: Q2 2020 results
Q2 Highlights:
o Strong financial performance with a 15% YoY increase in net revenue and 26%
YoY growth in EBIT adj.
o Tailwind from favourable price development throughout Q1 and historically low
prices in Q2
o Solid organic growth across all segments
o Successful acquisition of Innlandskraft, Norway's 3rd largest retailer, in
July - closing expected in September
Another strong quarter
One thing is certain - the electricity market is never boring. After a first
quarter where elspot prices fell to a historically low level, the second quarter
has been just as eventful. With continued all time low elspot prices throughout
the quarter, and even negative prices at certain hours, it has truly been an
unusual quarter.
For Fjordkraft, this has been another strong quarter with a 15% YoY increase in
adjusted net revenue and a 26% YoY growth in adjusted EBIT. The organic growth
has been solid, and all business areas show a positive development. Volume sold
is increasing 4% YoY due to organic growth and because two out of three months
in the quarter were colder than last year.
M&A has been a key element in Fjordkraft's strategy. It was therefore very
pleasing to announce the acquisition of Innlandskraft in July 2020.
Innlandskraft is Norway's 3rd largest retailer and the acquisition will
strengthen Fjordkraft's position as the leading electricity supplier in Norway.
Closing of the transaction is expected to take place in September 2020.
Please find attached the quarterly report and quarterly presentation.
The results will be audiocasted on 20 Aug 2020 at 08:00 on the following link:

Fjordkraft Holding ASA: Q1 2020 results
Q1 Highlights:
-Strong financial performance with a 27% YoY increase in net revenue and 31% YoY
growth in EBIT adj.
-Favourable market dynamics with historically low elspot prices and positive
effects on COGS are driving the improvement
-The solid growth in the Mobile segment continues, with more than 10k net adds
in the quarter
-Outlook slightly revised based on first quarter results
Strong profitability growth in an extraordinary situation
The first quarter of 2020 has been another quarter with strong financial
results. Adjusted net revenue increase 27% YoY and adjusted EBIT increase 31%
YoY. The price development in the quarter has been favourable, with elspot
prices reaching a historically low level at the end of the quarter. There are
also positive effects on COGS YoY, further driving the profitability growth. The
solid growth within the Mobile segment continues, and with more than 10 thousand
net adds in the quarter, the segment is well on the way towards the targeted 125
thousand subscribers at the end of 2020. Volume in the Consumer and Business
segment is decreasing 6% YoY driven by mild weather, fewer tender customers and
Covid-19 restrictions. All of the months in the quarter were warmer than both
normal and last year, and especially so in January. The segments' outlook is
revised slightly based on first quarter results, however Group outlook remains
unchanged.

Fjordkraft Holding ASA: Q3 2019 results
Q3 2019 highlights:
o Net revenue growth across all segments - driven by both margin improvements
and volume growth
o Strong development with an accelerating growth in number of mobile subscribers
(+51% YoY). Highest quarterly growth since the launch in Q2 2017
o Fjordkraft on top in EPSI's customer satisfaction survey for mobile
subscribers in the consumer market in 2019
o Also awarded for best call centre across all industries in September
o Successful acquisition of Vesterålskraft Strøm AS. Transaction completed 1
July 2019
Continued growth in net revenue and EBIT
The third quarter of 2019 has been another quarter with growth in both net
revenue and EBIT. Adjusted net revenue is increasing 14% YoY, while adjusted
EBIT is increasing 8% YoY. Both volume growth and margin improvements have a
positive impact on this quarter's result. The mobile segment is showing a strong
growth, with the highest quarterly growth since the launch in Q2 2017, and
Fjordkraft's mobile subscribers are also on top when it comes to customer
satisfaction in the consumer market. It has been a good quarter.
Temperatures in the quarter have been warmer than normal in three out of three
months. However, two out of three months have been colder than in Q3 2018, which
is part of the reason for the volume growth YoY. The growth of ~22k deliveries
YoY in the Consumer and Business segments is also contributing positively to the
volume growth.
Building upon the "Klimanjaro" initiative that was awarded the United Nations'
Climate Action Award, Fjordkraft is now launching "Klimahub". This is a
nation-wide database with information about a firm's climate actions and focus.
It includes an easy-to-use solution for businesses to calculate and register
their CO2 emissions and climate actions, and Fjordkraft offers counselling and
CO2 quotas to help businesses become climate neutral. Companies should use their
purchasing power to ensure climate neutrality, and we hope "Klimahub" can make
this easier.
Please find attached the quarterly report and quarterly presentation. The
results will be presented at Felix Konferansesenter at 08:00 on November 14.

Fjordkraft Holding ASA: Q2 2019 results
Q2 Highlights:
-Strong YoY growth in net revenue adj. and EBIT adj. driven by strong price
management and favourable market dynamics
-Adjusted net revenue increasing 13% YoY
-Adjusted EBIT increasing 26% YoY
-Strong growth in number of mobile subscribers - passing 80 thousand and further
strengthening our position as the largest mobile service provider without its
own mobile network
-Successful acquisition of Vesterålskraft Strøm AS. Transaction completed 1 July
2019
Another solid quarter driven by strong price management and favourable market
dynamics
The second quarter 2019 has been another solid quarter for Fjordkraft. Adjusted
net revenue is increasing 13% YoY and adjusted EBIT is increasing 26% YoY.
Strong price management in combination with favourable market dynamics are the
most important factors behind the strong results.
Temperatures in the quarter has been warmer than normal in two out of three
months, and April was especially warm with 3.3 degrees Celsius above normal.
While the higher than normal temperature negatively affects average volume per
delivery, the total volume sold is still stable YoY. This is due to an increase
in number of deliveries and shows the importance of growth when consumption is
affected by external factors. The organic growth in the quarter amounted to 911
electricity deliveries in the Consumer and Business segments. We are still
seeing some negative effects from the implementation of Elhub and given this, we
are happy with our growth. Number of mobile subscribers grew by 9,446 in the
quarter and is the highest quarterly growth since Q1 2018.
There has been one new acquisition on the quarter - Vesterålskraft Strøm with
around 8.6 thousand electricity deliveries. Through the transaction we get a new
regional office in the northern part of Norway, enabling us to grow our market
share in an unchartered territory for Fjordkraft. The transaction was completed
on 1 July 2019 and will be included in the Company's figures from Q3.

Fjordkraft Holding ASA: Q1 2019 results
Highlights from Q1:
o Net revenue adj. and EBIT adj. performance better than expected, driven by
strong price management and favourable market dynamics
o Positive organic growth in all segments
o Fjordkraft is now the largest mobile service provider without its own mobile
network
o Positive revision of targets following strong results
o Adjusted net revenue increasing 20% YoY
o Adjusted EBIT increasing 24% YoY
Strong price management in an important quarter
Every quarter is important. Still, the first quarter is perhaps the most
important quarter for Fjordkraft. This is when the temperatures are at their
lowest and electricity consumption is at its highest, and is usually the quarter
with the greatest net revenue contribution throughout the year. Therefore, we
are very satisfied with our strong performance in the first quarter of 2019.
Adjusted net revenue is increasing 20% YoY, while adjusted EBIT is increasing
24% YoY.
The Norwegian winter has been mild, and temperatures have been warmer than
normal in three out of three months in the quarter. February was especially
warm, with 3.5 degrees Celsius above normal. The warm weather negatively affects
electricity consumption per delivery, but volume sold is still increasing 3% YoY
due to the 14% YoY growth in number of electricity deliveries. Organic growth in
the quarter amounted to 1,679 electricity deliveries and 5,667 mobile
subscribers. The warm weather has also affected elspot price development
throughout the quarter. We saw increasing prices throughout January, but in
February and March decreasing prices combined with strong price management have
had a positive impact on product margins.

services, and contributes to increased loyalty," says Barmen.

Fjordkraft Holding ASA: Q4 2018 results
The fourth quarter results will be presented as the first part of the capital
markets day, starting 14 February 2019 09:00 CET at Felix Konferansesenter,
Oslo. The presentation will be held in English and will be webcasted at
http://webtv.hegnar.no/presentation.php?webcastId=97603182
Q4 Highlights:
Adjusted net revenue of 305 NOKm, representing 15% YoY growth
Adjusted EBIT of 107 NOKm, up 12% YoY
14% YoY growth in number of electricity deliveries, of which 2 % organic
Gross revenue increasing +55% YoY, reflecting volume growth and significantly
higher elspot prices than last year (+56%)
The Oppdal and Etne acquisitions successfully implemented during Q4 2018
Strong performance in a competitive quarter
The fourth quarter of 2018 was another quarter affected by extreme weather
conditions. In October, several locations in the Western part of Norway
experienced from 200-250% of normal precipitation levels. This resulted in
temporary local area prices as low as 0.06 NOK/MWh in the middle of October.
Throughout the rest of the quarter, electricity prices have been increasing,
reaching a maximum system price of 0.64 NOK/MWh in the middle of December. The
temperature has been higher than normal in three out of three months, having a
slightly negative impact on volume sold in the quarter.
It has also been a quarter with intense competition. A lot of electricity
suppliers have been active through the holiday season, offering special deals
and discounts to win customers. Organic growth in the quarter amounted to 2,108
electricity deliveries in the Consumer and Business segments. YoY growth in
number of deliveries in the Consumer and Business segments amounts to 14%, of
which 2% organic, and the number of mobile subscriptions grew by 4,763 QoQ.
We are very happy with reaching organic growth in a quarter as competitive as
this, says CEO Rolf Barmen.
Due to Statnetts Elhub project, which aims to streamline information flow
between the different players in the industry, the roll-out of the Extended
Alliance concept is at a temporary halt until the 1 May 2019. This has a limited
impact on the Groups financial results.

Another solid quarter
The power market has received a lot of attention in the third quarter of 2018.
The failed bet of the Norwegian power trader Einar Aas baffled an entire
industry. Elspot prices have been volatile, ranging from 0.62 NOK/kWh to 0.21
NOK/kWh in different parts of Norway. From a record-breaking warm summer, the
September of 2018 was among the wettest we have seen since 1900. It has been an
eventful quarter.
The Groups results are solid, with a 23% YoY increase in adjusted net revenue
and a 34% YoY increase in adjusted EBIT. Revenue from the variable products in
the Consumer segment was positively affected by the significant drop in elspot
prices in September. The last twelve months EBIT is all time high, at 379 NOKm.
YoY growth in number of deliveries in the Consumer and Business segments amounts
to 14%, of which 2% organic. The Extended Alliance concept is growing by 7,672
deliveries QoQ and number of mobile subscriptions grew by 4,282 QoQ.
This quarter, the Group was announced as one of the winners of the United
Nations Momentum for Change Climate Action Award. Fjordkrafts efforts towards
a climate neutral supply chain is named Klimanjaro, and annual CO2 emissions
of about 56,000 tonnes are now being offset as a result of this initiative.
Fjordkraft is the first Norwegian company to receive the award, and the award
ceremony will take place in Katowice, Poland, 2-14 December 2018.
Kantar TNS Q3 2018 survey shows that Fjordkraft maintains the position as the
number one electricity retail brand in the consumer segment. Fjordkraft has the
highest brand awareness in Norway, the highest market share ever measured by
Kantar TNS and the best customer satisfaction among the five most well-known
brands.
On 25 October, Fjordkraft entered into an agreement with BKK AS to purchase the
customer portfolio of Etne Elektrisitetslag. The customer portfolio consists of
about 1,600 deliveries. Transaction details are comprised by confidentiality by

PRESSRELEASE Fjordkraft has 50,000 mobile phone customers
Fjordkraft Holding ASA ("Fjordkraft", OSE ticker "FKRAFT")
Fjordkraft has 50,000 mobile phone customers
In less than one year, electricity supplier and mobile phone operator Fjordkraft
has reached 50,000 mobile phone customers. The company has thus seen rapid
growth in the mobile telephony market.
On 25 April it will be one year since electricity supplier Fjordkraft also
became a mobile telephony provider.
"We entered this market as an independent challenger to Telia and Telenor, with
cheap mobile telephony and extra low prices for our electricity customers. This
proves that our offer hit its mark. With two virtually omnipresent players, the
mobile telephony market was ripe for competition," says CEO Rolf Barmen i
Fjordkraft.
Short route from electricity to mobile telephony
Barmen said the following on the reasons for the rapid growth:
"We're in touch with a lot of people every day, and everyone in the household
who buys electricity from us can take advantage of our cheap mobile offering.
Our beneficial prices for mobile telephony are accessible to more than a million
people.
"When we entered into the mobile market, our point of departure was what we
already know. Fjordkraft is a well-known and highly visible brand and we have a
large and skilled customer centre. Becoming a mobile telephony operator was thus
just a short step away."
"In the mobile market there are two players with huge market resources, and the
rate of change is high. It's an instructive place to compete in. For the
organization it has been a shot in the arm, and the employees have welcomed the
mobile operations with huge commitment," Barmen says.
Chess discontinued its operations in Bergen last summer, and Fjordkraft has
recruited the customer service director, product manager and strategy developer
from Chess, among others.
With the acquisition of TrønderEnergi Marked, Fjordkraft will have close to
600,000 delivery points in the private and business market. On 28 March the
company reported that the acquisition has been approved by the Norwegian
Competition Authority and the Norwegian Water Resources and Energy Directorate
(NVE). With this acquisition, the company covers the electricity needs of more
than 1.3 million people all over the country.
Market dominated by Telia and Telenor
The mobile market is dominated by Telenor and Telia, which with its brands has
92.3% of market share measured in the consumer market (Report Nkom 1st half of
2017). TalkMore, MyCall, OneCall, Tele2, and Phonero (corporate market) are all
Telia or Telenor companies.
Telia bought Phonero in November and last week Telia chose to discontinue Chess
as a brand.
The Ministry of Transport and Communications has recently maintained the
decision of the National Communications Authority regarding continued regulation
of Telenor. In addition, NKOM advises immediately to initiate new market
analysis and assess the scope for future market regulation.
In March, Komplett Mobil announced that they had obtained 50,000 customers since
their launch the summer of 2016.
