Interim report – Q1 2018

Highlights – Q1 2018 (Figures in parentheses refer to the same period the previous year)

Arendals Fossekompani ASA is an industrial investment group holding 10 main investments and a portfolio of fi-nancial investments. In total, the Group employs more than 2,100 employees. The Group operates in several differ-ent industries and is represented in 24 countries through its subsidiaries. The parent company operates three hydro power stations, manages its subsidiaries through long-term and active ownership, develops the businesses and manages financial investments.

Total operating revenues in the first quarter amounted to MNOK 1,163 (MNOK 1,107). Consolidated earnings before tax for the quarter closed at MNOK 74 (MNOK 75). Estimated tax for the quarter totalled MNOK 39 (MNOK 23). Profit on ordinary activities (continuing operations) for the quarter after tax but before non-controlling inter-ests amounted to MNOK 35 (MNOK 51).

The Group performed well in the quarter generating strong revenue growth, with in particular Cogen and the parent company’s energy-producing unit contributing to the positive top-line development. EBITDA for the Group ended the quarter at MNOK 130, compared to MNOK 137 for the same quarter last year. Adjusted for the change in accounting estimates relating to provisions for the production bonuses that Cogen received from the Spanish authorities in 2017 (see Note 3), EBITDA for the Group was in line with the same quarter the previous year. The return on financial investments in the first quarter was 17.3%, corresponding to MNOK 400.9.

Other revenues and costs for the Group in the quarter amounted to MNOK 386 (MNOK 117). The differences are primarily due to changes in the value of financial investments and currency exchange differences. As a result, the Group’s comprehensive income for the quarter came in at MNOK 421 (MNOK 220).

Overall for the Group (continuing operations), revenues and earnings for 2018 are expected to be at the same level as 2017.

Arendals Fossekompani ASA sold all its shares in Glamox AS in December 2017. Figures for Glamox have therefore been removed from the consolidated figures for 2017 and are shown on separate lines in the income statement and balance sheet as Discontinued operations (See Note 5 and Note 25 in the annual report for 2017).

Events after the end of the first quarter

The Board’s proposal to distribute the company’s shares in Kongsberg Gruppen ASA as a dividend for 2017 was approved at the Annual General Meeting held on 26 April. The distribution of this shareholding represents a total dividend for 2017 of MNOK 1,905.

Trond Straume has been appointed CEO of Powel AS. Mr Straume will start his new role on 6 August.

On 2 May, Markedskraft announced the acquisition of the employees and customers of the Finnish company En-ergiameklarit Oy, thereby enhancing its position as a leading actor in the Norwegian wholesale market for elec-tricity.

Powel

Scanmatic

- Total operating revenues in the first quarter 2018 amounted to MNOK 157 (MNOK 152). Consolidated earnings before tax for the quarter came in at MNOK -3 (MNOK -1), where improved revenues were offset by a somewhat weaker margin compared to the same period in 2017.

- Openlink and Powel has established a collaboration within trading and risk solutions. This was positively received by international actors. Powel is continuing to invest heavily outside the Nordic region, with significant sales processes initiated towards a number of large players.

- Total operating revenues in the first quarter amounted to MNOK 144 (MNOK 131). Consolidated earnings before tax for the quarter totalled MNOK 7 (MNOK 12).

- Scanmatic Elektro achieved high activity level in the period and the com-pany’s order backlog is considered good.

Tekna

- Total operating revenues in the first quarter amounted to MNOK 309 (MNOK 253). Consolidated earnings before tax for the quarter closed at MNOK 18 (MNOK 26).

- The volume of steam and power produced increased compared to the same quarter last year due to a doubling of production by the company’s largest customer. However, lower power prices and reduced operating hours at some plants had the opposite effect on revenues for the period.

- During the quarter the company signed a new four-year contract with its customer Lacteas Garcia Baquero, which operates a 9.2 MW plant.

* Earnings for the quarter have been adjusted for the change in accounting estimates relating to provisions for the production bonuses that Cogen received from the Spanish authorities in 2017 (see Note 3).

Total operating revenues in the first quarter amounted to MNOK 54 (MNOK 36). Earnings before tax for the quar-ter were MNOK 38 (MNOK 6).

Notes to interim report for Q1 2018Note 1Confirmation of financial frameworkThe interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The financial statements do not cover all the information required in complete annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statementsfor 2017.

Note 2Key accounting policiesThe accounting policies for 2017 are described in the consolidated financial statements for 2017. The consolidatedfinancial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) adopted by the European Union and associated interpretations, as well as additional Norwegian disclosure requirements pursuant to the Norwegian Accounting Act and stock exchange regulations and rules, applicable as at 31 December 2017. The same policies were applied in the preparation of the financial statements to 31 March 2018.

The Group now reports in compliance with IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers. As expected, the change in accounting policy has had no material effect. The standard has been implemented according to the cumulative effect method.Other new standards that entered into force on 1 January 2018 have had no material impact on the financial statements.

Note 3

EstimatesAreas involving significant use of estimates include the valuation of companies in the share portfolio and measurement of goodwill/excess value in subsidiaries and associates, and of impairment indicators for property, plant and equipment and intangible assets. In the year to date these measurements have not involved any materialtransactions.

Cogen Energia Espana receives production bonuses from the Spanish authorities under their subsidy system for environmentally friendly energy production. Due to uncertainty surrounding accounting estimates relating to provisions for production bonuses, provisions totalling MNOK 31 were initially recognised in the final financial statements for the 2017 financial year. Reported quarterly results in 2017 are therefore not comparable with quarterly results for 2018. To provide a better basis for comparison, quarterly figures in 2017 for Cogen Energia Espana (page 6) andkey performance indicators for AFK (page 2) were adjusted for this effect.

Note 4Transactions with related partiesIn addition to the disclosures made in the company’s annual report for 2017, Note 24, it can be statedthat in 2018 the parent company:

- realised exchange gains of NOK 46,000 in connection with currency hedging within Markedskraft.
