OPERATIONAL ACTIVITY POWER PRODUCTION

In the first nine months of 2025 electricity production remained stable compared to the same period of last year and amounted to 361 GWh (2024 9M: 329 GWh) or increase of 9.7%. The weighted average capacity increased by 5.8% from 427 MWp to 452 MWp, whereas the specific yield climbed by 3.8% from 770 kWh/kWp to 799 kWh/kWp.

The specific yield (kWh/kWp) in the first nine months of 2025 was 3.8% higher than in the same period last year, an improvement mainly attributable to improved irradiation conditions compared with the first nine months of 2024. However, irradiation in the reporting period presented a mixed picture: while the second quarter still showed exceptionally high irradiation values, the following quarter was one of the weakest third quarters in the last 15 years. Overall, however, irradiation was in line with normal levels for the first nine months. On the other hand, the increased frequency of Redispatch 2.0 curtailments and the production losses associated with our internal curtailment strategy had a negative impact on specific yield.

POWER PRICE DEVELOPMENT -TRADING

For the German portfolio the group is essentially selling its production at the maximum between the fixed feed-in tariff and the market price for solar power (PV market value), whereby the grid operator is balancing out the positive difference (market premium) between the feed-in tariff and the market price for solar power. For its Belgian portfolio, the group is selling roughly half of its production at fixed prices to a local off taker, whereas the remainder is injected into the grid at the market rates. Between April and September, the average PV market value fell significantly to EUR 35 per MWh (April-September 2024: EUR 40 per MWh). In addition, the number of hours with negative electricity prices rose by 19% compared to the first nine months of 2024. This is relevant because solar assets commissioned after 2016 are not granted a market premium for periods of 1 to 6 consecutive negative hours, depending on the commissioning date of the respective solar assets.

Both in the reporting and comparative period the group has been to a very large extent shielded from volatility in the electricity market, due to the asset portfolio enjoying fixed feed-in tariffs on the one hand, as well as by closing electricity price swaps instruments to secure electricity prices on the other hand.

Over the course of the last years the group has entered various electricity price swaps to counterbalance the volatility on the electricity markets and to secure a capture price above the feed-in tariff as well as offset the risk of negative electricity prices. The electricity swap agreements contributed EUR 2.4M to group revenues in the reporting period (2024 9M EUR 3.7M).

Since July last year, the group has implemented a curtailment strategy of the Belgian assets of the portfolio as a secondary instrument to generate income by reducing the production of its Belgian asset base when electricity price are (more) negative (then anticipated). In the first nine months additional revenues in the amount of EUR 0.7M (2024 9M 0.4M) have been realized.

A further positive development was the increase in production volumes as a result of better irradiation levels in Bavaria, impacting capture price positively, as the older solar assets in this region, which enjoy higher feed-in tariffs contributed proportionally more to total production.

These effects lead to a capture price - i.e. the price at which the group effectively realizes its electricity sales- of EUR 159 per MWh on the reporting period, which represents a decline of 4% compared to 2024 9M.

ASSET PORTFOLIO AND PV ESTATE

As of 30 September 2025, the total IPP portfolio had reached a capacity of 498 MWp (end of 2024: 468 MWp). In addition to an operational portfolio of 471 MWp, PV assets with a capacity of 26 MWp were under construction as of the reporting date. The solar assets under construction mainly consist of the Reuden-Süd solar installation (20 MWp), construction of which resumed at the beginning of the third quarter. The cable and grid connection work is nearing completion as of the date of publication of this report.

In order to better control and market the feed-in volumes, the Group is currently developing its own battery projects at various locations of existing German PV plants. To this end, the batteries require grid reservations as well as planning permission and building permits. The development of the battery projects is currently gaining momentum, with grid reservations of around 20 MW already in place on the date of publication of the report.

The PV Estate portfolio, i.e. properties used primarily for the generation of solar power, remained unchanged at 199 hectares.

OPERATIONAL RESULTS

In the first nine months of 2025, 7C Solarparken generated revenues of EUR 58.1M, which is an increase of 6% compared to the same period in the previous year (EUR 55.0M). 98.9% of revenues in the first 9 months consisted of electricity sales (previous year's period: 98.9%). The sale of services decreased to EUR 0.3M (previous year: EUR 0.4m) and contributed 0.5% to revenues.

The sale of electricity amounted to EUR 57.5M in the first three quarters of 2025 (2024 9M: EUR 54.4M). The rise in power sales stems primarily from the production increase (+ 5.3M), which consisted of the higher specific yield (+ EUR 4.3M) as well as the growth of the asset portfolio (+EUR 1.0M). The decline of the capture price as a result of lower electricity prices on the other hand negatively impacted power sales by 2.3M.

The earnings before Interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) for the reporting period came in at EUR 53.0M which is a 20.5% increase compared to the first nine months of 2024. The higher EBITDA stems from the higher power sales as well as the impairment of a receivable linked to the solar project Reuden Süd amounting to EUR 5.4M, which had negatively impacted the comparative period. The EBITDA margin excluding this impairment of a receivable increased from 89.9% to 91.4%.

7C Solarparken generated other operating income of EUR 7.2M over the reporting period (2024 9M: EUR 4.9M). Particularly noteworthy is the income from the receipt of damages for production curtailments related to Redispatch

2.0 in the amount of EUR 3.2M (comparative period: EUR 2.5M), remission of payables (EUR 1.4M), the reversal of provisions (EUR 0.7M), damages paid by insurance companies (EUR 0.8M), the sale of a solar asset (EUR 0.4M). In the comparative period, an electricity price swap agreement has been cancelled prematurely by mutual agreement, which resulted in other operating income of EUR 1.7M in that period.

Personnel expense increased by EUR 0.2M to EUR 1.7M compared to the first three quarters of 2024. Other operating expenses fell from EUR 14.5M to EUR 10.6M. In the comparative period, the operational expenditures were negatively impacted due to the impairment of a receivable of EUR 5.4M linked to the solar asset Reuden Süd.

FINANCIAL POSITION

The net debt is shown in the table below and amounted to EUR 90.4M as of 30 September 2025, which is down substantially from 2024 year-end (minus EUR 23.4M). The Group's long-term and short-term financial liabilities totaled EUR 184.1M as of 30 September 2025 (2024: EUR 204.5M). This decrease of EUR 20.4M stems mainly from the regular repayment of bank loans in the amount of EUR 23.6M as well as a promissory note of EUR 21.9M, in addition to securing new financial liabilities of EUR 25.2M.

Lease liabilities in the amount of EUR 40.1M decreased (2024: EUR 42.2M), mainly by regular lease redemptions amounting to EUR 2.8M in the first nine months of 2025 counterbalanced by new right of use assets containing lease liabilities (EUR 0.7M).

Cash and cash equivalents amounted to EUR 89.0M (of which restricted cash: EUR 14.1M) at the closing date. The Group invested cash and cash equivalents in fixed deposit accounts with a term of more than three months at the time of the investment. These funds in fixed-term deposit accounts are recognised under other investments and amounted to EUR 7.3M at the reporting date.
