The Board of Directors of Enersense International Plc has decided on new share-based incentive plan directed to the Group key employees. The aim is to align the objectives of the shareholders and key employees for increasing the value of the company in the long-term, to retain the key employees at the company and to offer them competitive incentive plan that is based on earning and accumulating the company’s shares. The new incentive plan is a continuation of the Performance Share Plan 2022-2025 decided in February 2022. The new Performance Share Plan 2023-2025 consists of one performance period, covering the financial years 2023-2025.

In the plan, the target group is given an opportunity to earn Enersense International Plc shares based on performance. The rewards of the plan are based on the absolute total shareholder return of the company’s share (TSR) for the financial years 2023-2025, on the Group’s cumulative Operating Profit in euro for the financial years 2023-2025, and on the Group’s ESG development program.

The potential rewards based on the plan will be paid after the end of the performance period, in spring 2026. The rewards will be paid partly in Enersense International Plc shares and partly in cash. The cash proportions of the rewards are intended for covering taxes and statutory social security contributions arising from the rewards to the participants. In general, no reward is paid if the participant’s employment or director contract terminates before the reward payment.

The rewards to be paid based on the plan correspond to the value of an approximate maximum total of 241.000 Enersense International Plc shares, also including the proportion to be paid in cash. Approximately 40 persons, including the President and CEO and other members of the Group Executive Team, belong to the target group of the plan.

The President and CEO of Enersense International Plc and the member of the Group Executive Team must own at least 50 per cent of the shares received as a net reward from the plan, until the value of the President and CEO’s shareholding in Enersense International Plc equals to his annual base salary of the preceding year, and until the value of other Group Executive Team member’s shareholding in Enersense International Plc equals to 50 per cent of their annual base salary of the preceding year. Such number of Enersense International Plc shares must be held as long as the membership in the Group Executive Team or the position as the President and CEO continues.

Enersense withdraws from the merger concerning Voimatel Oy. On 13 January 2023, the Finnish Competition and Consumer Authority (FCCA) decided to initiate further proceedings regarding the acquisition, because it considered it necessary to continue investigating its competition impacts. The further proceedings may take a maximum of 69 working days.

Enersense has been informed by the FCCA that, according to the analyses carried out by the competition authority, the combined market share of the operators concerned would grow too large in several market segments. Neither did the FCCA consider, contrary to Enersense’s views, the customers’ bargaining power or countervailing buyer power a sufficiently countervailing factor in the competitive situation.

For this reason, Enersense’s Board of Directors has considered it impossible to implement the merger in the desired form and decided to withdraw from the acquisition. The withdrawal occurs by consensus with Osuuskunta KPY, the owner of Voimatel.

“We are of course disappointed because the merger would have been a good solution for creating, developing and maintaining critical telecommunications and network infrastructure for the whole of Finland. The merger would have provided us with synergy benefits, but the non-implementation of the merger will have no effect on the objectives of our growth strategy and their attainment,” says CEO Jussi Holopainen.

Enersense, a provider of zero-emission energy solutions, and a Finnish optic fiber company Valoo have signed a turn-key project contract on construction of an optic fiber network (FTTH = Fiber to the Home) in Finland. The contract is part of Valoo´s extensive optic fiber network construction projects in different parts of Finland. The total value of the contract that spans over four years is approximately EUR 35 million and it will be included in the first quarter 2023 order book of Enersense’s Connectivity business area. The project will commence immediately when the earthworks season begins in 2023.

Enersense is responsible for the turn-key delivery which contains project management, planning, construction and documentation of the network. In the first phase the focus of the construction works is in the South-Eastern part of Finland in Lappeenranta, Kotka and Hamina.

“We will continue our long-term investments in the secure, safe and sustainable Finnish data transmission. Cooperation with Enersense supports us in reaching our goal to build the future of Finland on a sustainable base. With this agreement, the total value of our contracting contracts will rise to over 300 million euros”, says Tommi Linna, CEO of Valoo.

”We thank Valoo for their confidence on Enersense’s FTTH-services. Fast telecommunications connections are crucial in enabling the continuously growing data transmission that energy transition needs. This new contract demonstrates again the strong capabilities of our Connectivity business area in executing telecommunications networks”, says Jussi Holopainen, CEO of Enersense.

The Finnish Competition and Consumer Authority (FCCA) has decided to transfer Enersense International Plc’s acquisition regarding Voimatel Oy to further processing, which may take up to 69 business days. During the first phase of the processing, the FCCA has obtained information from competitors, customers and suppliers by means of requests for statements and reports. The FCCA deems it necessary to continue the analysis of the competitive impacts of the acquisition.

“At Enersense we see closing of this acquisition important because effective information and energy networks play a key role in society. In terms of functionality of society and security of supply in Finland, it is – and will continue to be – important to create, develop and maintain a critical telecommunications and network infrastructure. We also see that assessing the countervailing buyer power, where also the bargaining strength of the buyer as well as its commercial significance to the seller are considered, is essential in terms of the analysis of the competitive impact of an acquisition. There are conflicting views on this matter, but we trust that the Authority will carefully assess the situation as a whole”, says Jussi Holopainen, President and CEO, Enersense International Plc.

The Estonian Competition Authority has previously approved the acquisition in terms of the companies’ operations in Estonia (press release 18 November 2022).

NEITHER THIS ANNOUNCEMENT NOR ANYTHING CONTAINED HEREIN SHALL FORM THE BASIS OF, OR BE RELIED UPON IN CONNECTION WITH, ANY OFFER OR COMMITMENT WHATSOEVER IN ANY JURISDICTION.

Enersense International Plc (“Enersense“ or the ”Company”) today completed an offering (the ”Offering”) of EUR 26 million (the “Nominal Amount”) of senior unsecured conditionally convertible notes due 15 January 2027 (the ”Notes”).

The net proceeds of the Offering are intended for investments and general corporate purposes.

The Notes will carry a coupon of 7.0 % per annum, payable semi-annually in arrear in equal instalments on 15 January and 15 July in each year, commencing on 15 July 2023. The initial conversion price has been set at EUR 8.00, representing a conversion premium of approximately 32.1 % to the arithmetic average of the volume weighted average price of Enersense’s shares (the ”Shares”) which are listed on the official list of Nasdaq Helsinki Ltd (“Nasdaq Helsinki“) on each of the 10 dealing days prior to the launch of the Notes, representing EUR 6.0573 (the ”Market Reference Price“). The conversion price will be subject to certain adjustments in the event of specified corporate events, as well as customary anti-dilution adjustments pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Notes (the “Terms and Conditions”).

The Notes will be issued at 100 % of the Nominal Amount and, unless previously converted, redeemed or purchased and cancelled, will be redeemed at 100% of the Nominal Amount on maturity. Closing is expected to occur on or about 12 December 2022 (the “Issue Date”).

Enersense will have the right to redeem all but not some only of the outstanding Notes at the Nominal Amount together with accrued but unpaid interest to (but excluding) the date fixed for redemption, subject to a minimum of 30 days’ and a maximum of 60 days’ prior notice:

• at any time on or after 10 March 2025, if the Parity Value (as defined in the Terms and Conditions) in respect of a Note exceeds EUR 130,000 on each of not less than 20 dealing days in any period of 30 consecutive dealing days ending not earlier than seven business days prior to date on which the notice of redemption is given to noteholders; or
• at any time, if prior to date on which the notice of redemption is given to noteholders less than 15% of the aggregate Nominal Amount of the Notes originally issued (including any Subsequent Notes, as defined in the Terms and Conditions) remains outstanding.

Jussi Holopainen, President & CEO of Enersense, commented: “We are very pleased by the investor interest shown towards Enersense’s inaugural convertible bond issue, which saw strong support from new and existing investors. Based on multiple discussions with a diverse base of investors, we see clear support for continuing our journey in enabling the ongoing energy transition in Europe, and the capital raised from institutional investors in a challenging financial environment is a strong testament of the value and necessity of our work. The net proceeds from the transaction will support us in reaching the ambitious goals that we have set for ourselves, and are an important milestone in enabling our 2027 targets. I am very proud of the entire Enersense team for making this possible with the important work that we do for our customers, other stakeholders, and society at large every single day.”

The Notes will become convertible into Enersense’s shares subject to a resolution by the Extraordinary General Meeting of the Company’s shareholders authorizing the Company’s Board of Directors to resolve on the issue of special rights entitling to shares pursuant to Chapter 10, Section 1 of the Finnish Companies Act (624/2006, as amended) to enable the issue of such Shares upon the exercise of conversion rights by noteholders in respect of the Notes (the “Shareholders’ Resolution”) and a subsequent resolution by the Board of Directors to decide on the issue of such special rights based on the authorization (the “Board Resolution”). The Extraordinary General Meeting is expected to take place on or about 23 December 2022.

In connection with the Offering, certain shareholders of the Company, including Nidoco AB, MBÅ Invest Oy, Verman Group Oy and Ensto Invest Oy, who together represent approximately 54.95 % of Enersense’s current total number of Shares, have irrevocably agreed to vote in favour of the Shareholders’ Resolution at the Extraordinary General Meeting.

If the Shareholder Resolution and the Board Resolution are not passed by the date falling 3 months after the Issue Date and the Notes have not been redeemed in accordance with the Terms and Conditions, noteholders will be entitled to exercise a cash settlement right whereby they would receive a cash amount equal to the market value of the Shares notionally underlying the Notes as detailed in the Terms and Conditions.

Nordea Bank Abp is acting as the Sole Global Coordinator and Bookrunner for the Offering.

Enersense International Plc (“Enersense” or the ”Company“) announces today that it intends to make an offering (the ”Offering“) of senior unsecured conditionally convertible notes due 15 January 2027 (the ”Notes“) to selected professional investors and eligible counterparties. The Notes are proposed to be issued at an expected nominal amount of EUR 20-30 million (the ”Nominal Amount“). The net proceeds of the Offering are intended to be used for investments and general corporate purposes.

The Notes are expected to carry a coupon of 6.5-7.0 % per annum, payable semi-annually in arrear in equal instalments on 15 January and 15 July in each year, commencing on 15 July 2023. The initial conversion price is expected to be set at a price per share of 7.87-8.18 euros, implying a premium of approximately 30-35 % to the arithmetic average of the volume weighted average price of Enersense’s shares (the ”Shares“), which are listed on the official list of Nasdaq Helsinki Ltd (“Nasdaq Helsinki”), on each of the 10 dealing days prior to the launch of the Notes, representing EUR 6.0573 (the “Market Reference Price”). The conversion price will be subject to certain adjustments in the event of specified corporate events, as well as customary anti-dilution adjustments pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Notes (the “Terms and Conditions”).

The Notes will be issued at 100 % of the Nominal Amount and, unless previously converted, redeemed or purchased and cancelled, will be redeemed at 100 % of the Nominal Amount on maturity. The final terms of the Offering will be announced via a separate stock exchange release, which will include confirmation of the date of closing of the transaction (the “Issue Date”).

Enersense will have the right to redeem all but not only some of the outstanding Notes at the Nominal Amount together with accrued but unpaid interest to (but excluding) the date fixed for redemption, subject to a minimum of 30 days’ and a maximum of 60 days’ prior notice:

• at any time on or after 10 March 2025, if the Parity Value (as defined in the Terms and Conditions) in respect of a Note exceeds EUR 130,000 on each of not less than 20 dealing days in any period of 30 consecutive dealing days ending not earlier than seven business days prior to date on which the notice of redemption is given to noteholders; or
• at any time, if prior to date on which the notice of redemption is given to noteholders less than 15 % of the aggregate Nominal Amount of the Notes originally issued (including any Subsequent Notes, as defined in the Terms and Conditions) remains outstanding.

The Notes will become convertible into Shares subject to a resolution by the Extraordinary General Meeting of the Company’s shareholders authorizing the Company’s Board of Directors to resolve on the issue of special rights entitling to shares pursuant to Chapter 10, Section 1 of the Finnish Companies Act (624/2006, as amended) to enable the issue of such Shares upon the exercise of conversion rights by noteholders in respect of the Notes (the “Shareholders’ Resolution”) and a subsequent resolution by the Board of Directors to decide on the issue of such special rights based on the authorization (the “Board Resolution”), following which the Company will issue an appropriate notice to the noteholders. A notice convening the Extraordinary General Meeting is expected to be issued shortly after the confirmation of the final terms of the Offering.

In connection with the Offering, certain shareholders of the Company, including Nidoco AB, MBÅ Invest Oy, Verman Group Oy,  and Ensto Invest Oy, who together represent approximately 54.95 % of Enersense’s current total number of Shares, have irrevocably agreed to vote in favour of the Shareholders’ Resolution at the Extraordinary General Meeting.

If the Shareholder Resolution and the Board Resolution have not been passed on or before the date falling 3 months after the Issue Date and the Notes have not been redeemed in accordance with the Terms and Conditions, Enersense may elect to redeem the Notes at the greater of (i) 102 % of the Nominal Amount of the Notes, and (ii) 102 % of the Fair Note Value (as defined in the Terms and Conditions) of the Notes, in each case together with accrued but unpaid interest to (but excluding) the Fair Value Redemption Date (as defined in the Terms and Conditions), whereupon the Notes will be redeemed on the Fair Value Redemption Date.

If the Shareholder Resolution and the Board Resolution are not passed by the date falling 3 months after the Issue Date and the Notes have not been redeemed in accordance with the Terms and Conditions, noteholders will be entitled to exercise a cash settlement right whereby they would receive a cash amount equal to the market value of the Shares notionally underlying the Notes as detailed in the Terms and Conditions.

No application has been made or is currently contemplated to be made to list the Notes or admit them to trading on any market.

Nordea Bank Abp is acting as the Sole Global Coordinator and Bookrunner for the Offering.

The strategic goal of Enersense International Plc, a provider of zero-emission energy solutions, is intact: the company’s goal is to grow from a broad-based service company in the energy sector to a producer of clean energy and a key green energy company. In connection with its annual strategy process, Enersense has specified the focus areas of its growth strategy and elevates zero-emission transport into equal position with onshore and offshore wind power as well as solar energy. In zero-emission transport, new business is sought from electric vehicle charging solutions and clean fuels. In offshore wind power, the growth is sought from wind turbine foundations, in particular, and in solar energy from project development, construction and own energy generation. The specified focus of the strategy supports the company’s long-term financial targets that remain unchanged.

Enersense’s goal within the focus area of zero-emission transport is the expand in the value chain from an installation and maintenance partner for providers of various charging equipment solutions to charging equipment producer, where the company see substantial growth potential. The company already has a strategic partnership with an investment of 10 per cent in Parkkisähkö Oy, a provider of charging systems for housing companies, companies, and public locations. Enersense has also a partial ownership in P2X Solutions through which Enersense in enhancing the reduction of emissions in heavy transport using hydrogen and synthetic fuels and enabling the storage of electricity through green hydrogen.

Enersense has started strengthening its footprint in the electric vehicle charging solutions value chain by signing an agreement on the acquisition of Unified Chargers Oy, a Finnish start-up who manufactures fast and high-power charging stations for electric vehicles. The revenue of Unified Chargers during the previous financial period was EUR 0.4 million showing an increase of 87 per cent year-on-year. Its loss for the period was EUR -0.4 million. The purchase price is EUR 1.2 million and it will be paid in full by means of new Enersense shares to be issued. The share transaction is conditional on the Extraordinary General Meeting of Enersense, convened to be held on 10 November 2022, authorising Enersense’s Board of Directors to decide on a directed share issue related to the share transaction. The transaction is expected to be completed during November 2022 and after that Enersense will be able to offer advanced and customisable charging solutions for public locations and for the needs of heavy transport, as well as smart services for charging station operation.

“The significant additional generation of renewable energy will enable zero-emission transport through electrification and clean fuels. By lifting expansion in the charging infrastructure value chain as one of the focus areas of our growth strategy we will be more closely engaged in this development and as the implementation of our strategy moves forward, we will be able to respond more comprehensively to the growing demand in the market. In addition to this, we consider hydrogen to play a significant role in the green transition, both in storing electricity and enabling zero-emission heavy transport,” says CEO Jussi Holopainen.

Enersense International Plc, a provider of zero-emission energy solutions, will start reporting on the project development portfolio of Megatuuli Oy, a leading onshore wind power project development company, semi-annually as part of its regular H1 and H2 financial reporting. Enersense completed the acquisition of Megatuuli on 1 February 2022 and owns 100 % of the company.

Megatuuli Oy’s project portfolio is currently 3,000MW, of which 1,500MW is in cooperation with Valorem and is divided as follows:

– Feasibility study phase 2,000MW
– Permit, land use and EIA phase 1,000MW

Projects developed by Megatuuli Oy, which have advanced to construction and operation phases:

– Construction phase 350MW (development fees to be paid to Enersense during 2022-2025 as informed on 3 February 2022)
– Finished and operating phase 100MW

Megatuuli Oy’s current 3,000MW onshore wind power project portfolio also enables Enersense to develop its own energy production. Enersense’s energy production target by 2027 is 600-700MW, of which 600MW is wind power and 100MW solar power.

Enersense has already identified 200MW of potential wind power projects that can be developed for its own energy production. In addition, Enersense has identified 20MW of solar power for its own energy production.

“The green transition is proceeding at an accelerating pace with strong demand for wind power and solar energy, and the strategic choices we made earlier have proved successful. Wind power project development is long-term cooperation between different actors, and we want to make the development phases of our projects more transparent and monitored,” says Jussi Holopainen, CEO.

Enersense International Plc, a provider of zero-emission energy solutions, and Helen Oy, an energy company, have agreed on extensive strategic cooperation regarding operation and maintenance tasks for plants and networks, following competitive tendering in accordance with the Finnish Act on public contracts and concessions of entities operating in the water, energy, transport and postal services sectors.

Helen will purchase operation and maintenance services from Enersense IN Oy, which operates in the business area of Smart Industry, for the needs of four power plants, fifteen heating plants, six cooling and heat pump plants, more than 1,500 kilometres of district heating and cooling networks and around 60 kilometres of energy tunnels among other things in the Helsinki metropolitan area.

The duration of the agreement is at least four years, after which it is possible to continue the cooperation with two two-year options. The maximum value of the procurement during the agreement period with the options is EUR 200 million. The cooperation agreement has no impact on Enersense’s 2022 guidance, but it reinforces the achievement of long-term financial targets.

“The strategic goal of both Enersense and Helen is to play a key role in the green transition, and this agreement enables us to contribute to Helen’s vision of achieving carbon neutrality by 2030. Security of supply is particularly important in the current global situation, and we have a great deal to offer in this respect as an expert in critical infrastructure,” says Jussi Holopainen, President and CEO of Enersense International Plc.

In connection with the service agreement, it has also been agreed that at most 260 operation and maintenance employees will transfer from Helen to Enersense as existing employees through a business transfer.

“This extensive cooperation agreement will provide us with more highly competent and skilled employees, which will further strengthen and expand our expertise and service offering. We will also have access to ready-for-use service centre sites that we can develop together with the customer in a rapidly changing operating environment. We have broad and varied experience in operation and maintenance services for sites of various sizes that we have been able to develop consistently with the customer to be more sustainable, better and more efficient. Based on this experience, we can also offer Helen a stable and reliable partnership,” says Jaakko Leivo, Executive Vice President, Smart Industry at Enersense International Plc.

“Enersense’s objectives and strategy greatly support Helen’s journey in the energy transition and our strategy to achieve our carbon neutrality goals. Reliably and flexibly acquired operating and maintenance tasks services help us to prepare for future changes in our operating environment that require professionalism, continuity and flexibility,” says Timo Aaltonen, Director, Energy Platform and Production Solutions, Helen Oy.

Enersense has provided the industrial sector with operation and maintenance services for more than 20 years. Enersense has extensive operation and maintenance contracts with several major Finnish companies.

“We have strengthened our expertise in operation and maintenance in particular, and winning this agreement is excellent proof of our renewed organisation’s commitment and competence. We are grateful and proud that we can be a key strategic partner for Helen on its journey towards carbon neutrality by 2030. We believe that this partnership will offer us further opportunities to improve the efficiency and flexibility of similar services in other cities and towns in response to the energy transition and decentralised energy production. We are aiming to employ our new expertise and personnel more extensively across Finland,” says Jaakko Leivo.

The agreement is expected to enter into force on 1 November 2022, pending approval from the Finnish Competition and Consumer Authority.

Enersense International Plc lowers its financial guidance for 2022 in terms of adjusted EBITDA. At the same time, Enersense provides preliminary information on its second quarter results, which, as expected, is the weakest quarter of the year.

The company’s profitability, towards the end of the year, is weighed down by Russia’s war of invasion of Ukraine, accelerated inflation, material availability problems, the coronavirus, the ICT strike, and the resulting delayed project starts.
 

New financial guidance for 2022:

According to the company’s financial guidance, revenue is expected to be in the range of EUR 245–265 million and adjusted EBITDA EUR 6-12 million in 2022.

Previous financial guidance for 2022:

According to the company’s financial guidance, revenue is expected to be in the range of EUR 245–265 million and adjusted EBITDA EUR 15–20 million in 2022.

Preliminary key figures (unaudited):

April-June 2022:

Revenue: EUR 59.8 million (EUR 61.6 million in the comparison period)

Adjusted EBITDA: EUR -0.4 million (4.8)

January-June 2022:

Revenue: EUR 113.6 million (114.9)

Adjusted EBITDA: EUR 5.0 million (7.4)

As expected, investments in offshore wind power and a new ERP system have weakened the adjusted EBITDA for the first half of the year. The impact of these on the operative EBITDA for the first half of the year is EUR 2.4 million.

Enersense will publish its half-year financial report on Thursday 4 August 2022. Due to the silent period, Enersense does not comment on preliminary information on its result before publishing its half-year report.

Enersense keeps its long-term financial targets for 2027 (stock exchange release 3 May 2022) unchanged.

Enersense International Plc, a provider of zero-emission energy solutions, has concluded the negotiations on the financing of its operations. The company’s new financing package, broader and more favourable in terms of costs than before, consists of several bank guarantee and revolving credit facility and already withdrawn senior loans. The financing is used for developing operations and managing working capital.

Enersense has withdrawn senior loans for 10,5 million euros which will mature in the year 2026. Enersense has also ability to withdraw 5 million euros of committed revolving credit facility which enable the company to reduce effects of seasonal fluctuations of working capital to its business operations.

Previously Enersense had at its disposal guarantee facilities of 36,9 million euros. The company replaces a part of its previous guarantee facilities and total amount of guarantee facilities rises to 40 million euros. New guarantee facilities enable wider geographical deployment of guarantees. Enersense uses its guarantee facilities in its project business as securities for performance and warranty periods.

Enersense had at its disposal accounts receivable financing facilities of 38,7 million euros. The company has agreed on new accounts receivable financing facilities of 5,5 million euros. Company has at its disposal accounts receivable financing facilities of 44,2 million euros.

“We are pleased to have new financing partners and deepen our existing partnerships. Now negotiated new financing agreement is more favourable in terms of costs than the previous agreement, which is a result of the positive development of Enersense’s business and strengthened balance sheet. The financing package enables effective working capital management and increases our chances to win projects in Finland and abroad. The larger number of guarantee and accounts receivable financing facilities prepares us for growth, and the new revolving credit facility enables growth to be financed quickly”, says Enersense’s CEO Jussi Holopainen.

The Board of Directors of Enersense International Plc, a provider of zero-emission energy solutions, has decided to update the company’s long-term financial targets. The new financial targets are more in line with the company’s business model following the implementation of its corporate transactions and reflect more accurately Enersense’s vision for the company’s long-term growth strategy.    

On 4 October 2021, Enersense acquired Enersense Offshore that focuses on offshore wind power products, and on 1 February 2022, Megatuuli, an onshore wind power development company. Furthermore, on 14 February 2022, Enersense made an investment in P2X Solutions, Finland’s first green hydrogen production company. Following the corporate transactions, Enersense expands its role in the value chain. In addition of being a provider of project design, project implementation, maintenance and management services, Enersense will become a key producer, owner and project developer of zero-emission energy. As a result, the company’s profitability will improve, the nature of its business will become steadier, and project risks will decrease.  

The updated long-term financial targets are:  

• revenue of EUR 500 million and profitability of EUR 100 million (EBITDA) in 2027  

• proportion of low-emission and zero-emission projects of the company’s revenue 75–80% in 2027
   

The long-term revenue targets are based on the existing project development portfolio of the current construction business and onshore wind power, as well as on the growth of offshore wind power (a total of EUR 400 million). In addition, Enersense will make significant investments in the production of renewable energy (EUR 100 million), which will require considerable capital investments from the company. During the next few years, Enersense will actively seek various kinds of equity-based financing arrangements to enable energy production. Capital investments are expected to total around EUR 300 million.  

“Following the previously announced corporate transactions, we are updating our financial targets to better reflect the future Enersense. The financial targets reflect the nature of the company’s long-term business, which will change from the current project and construction business to also include energy production,” says Jussi Holopainen, CEO of Enersense.  
  
Enersense’s previous financial targets were to achieve a revenue of EUR 300 million organically and a 10% profitability (EBITDA) by 2025. The company also sought to increase the proportion of low-emission and zero-emission energy projects from 50% to 75% of its revenue by 2025.

President and CEO Jussi Holopainen

“In terms of performance, the first quarter of 2022 was the best first quarter in the history of Enersense. We achieved EUR 53.8 million (53.3) in revenue (+ 0,9%) and EUR 5.5 million (2.6) in adjusted EBITDA (+ 113,6%). Our operating profit improved significantly year-on-year and was EUR 3.2 (-0.6) million. Our profit margin increased to 6.0% (-1.2%).

The year 2022 has started in an environment that is exceptional in many ways. The coronavirus pandemic continues, and the Russian attack on Ukraine has shocked everyone. It has been particularly important to Enersense to support our Ukrainian colleagues and their families in the midst of the crisis.

The war has caused inflation to increase, very steeply in some countries, and there are challenges in the supply chains for materials. So far, however, we have been able to navigate this environment reasonably. We are continuously monitoring the situation and are seeking solutions to continue to manage the challenging global market situation.

As a provider of zero-emission energy solutions, Enersense has long played a key role in enabling the green transition. The Russian attack on Ukraine has accelerated the process to end dependence on Russian oil, gas and coal production. Energy self-sufficiency and the replacement of fossil fuels with renewable energy sources are progressing rapidly and will continue to do so in the near future. Enersense plays an important role in these projects. We are extensively involved in projects related to energy production, transmission, efficiency and storage, from design to construction and from maintenance to servicing. Good examples of these in the first quarter include the Fingrid power line contract that we won in Kuopio and S Group’s wind farm maintenance contract, which increases our share of wind power maintenance to more than 50% of all electricity networks in wind farms in Finland.

The corporate arrangements we completed early in the year were timely and successful, in addition to being significant additions to our capacity to respond to the acceleration of the green transition and energy self-sufficiency. We took a major step to reinforce our role in the value chain for wind power production by acquiring Megatuuli Oy, an onshore wind power development company, on 1 February 2022. Megatuuli supplements and supports Enersense’s strong service portfolio and enables us to develop, build and maintain wind farms. We also aim to serve as wind farm owners and produce zero-emission energy in the future. Megatuuli’s goal is to develop and build 1,000 MW of wind power by 2025, in cooperation with its partners. Megatuuli and its partners have wind power plant projects in progress or in the feasibility study phase, with a total capacity of around 3,000 MW.

Our investment in P2X Solutions Oy, a green hydrogen production company, is significant and strongly supports Enersense’s strategy. The investment was completed on 14 February 2022. Wind power and the production of green hydrogen are strongly interlinked, and we have strong expertise throughout the value chain. In addition to a holding of around 16%, the investment provides us with a primary partnership option in the construction of Finland’s first green hydrogen production plant in Harjavalta, as well as in maintenance and operation tasks after the completion of the plant. Hydrogen is a great opportunity for us and for Finland as a whole, and it’s a privilege to be involved in creating a hydrogen market in Finland.

In early 2022, Enersense’s highly competent team of around 2,000 professionals was further enhanced through corporate arrangements and recruitment. I welcome all our new colleagues to Enersense, on our journey towards the green transition and energy self-sufficiency. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank every member of the Enersense community for their strong input in these challenging global circumstances. As always, we can overcome these challenges through cooperation.”
