A maximum of 3,298,505 new and/or treasury shares of the Company (including shares to be issued based on special rights) may be issued under the authorization, which corresponds to approximately 20 per cent of all the shares in the Company’s shares at the time of the convocation of the General Meeting.

The Board of Directors is authorized to decide on the recording of the subscription price either as a share capital increase, or fully or partly in the reserve for invested unrestricted equity. A share issue and the issuance of special rights entitling to shares may also take place as a directed issue in deviation of the shareholder’s pre-emptive right if the Company has a weighty financial reason for this under the Limited Liability Companies Act (directed issue).

Own shares may be repurchased and/or accepted as pledge in deviation from the shareholders’ proportional holdings (directed repurchase and/or directed acceptance as pledge). The repurchase of shares reduces the Company’s unrestricted equity. The Board of Directors shall decide on the manner in which the shares are repurchased/or accepted as pledge.

The authorization is proposed to be effective until the close of the next Annual General Meeting, but no longer than until 30 June 2026.

The Board of Directors of Enersense decided on the Group key employee incentive plan

Enersense International Plc | Stock Exchange Release | February 28, 2025 at 12:50:00 EET

The Board of Directors of Enersense International Plc has decided on two new share-based incentive plans 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 plans that are based on earning and accumulating the company’s shares.

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.

Performance Share Plan 2025–2027

The Performance Share Plan 2025–2027 consists of one performance period, covering the financial years 2025–2027. In the plan, the target group is given an opportunity to earn Enersense International Plc shares based on performance. The potential rewards based on the plan will be paid after the end of the performance period, in spring 2028.

The rewards of the plan are based on the absolute total shareholder return of the company’s share for the financial years 2025–2027 and the Group’s EBITDA in euros for the financial years 2026 and 2027. In addition, the plan’s criteria include the promotion of sustainability initiatives, including the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions throughout the value chain and the promotion of carbon handprint in the offering and the diversity of the personnel. The rewards to be paid based on the plan correspond to the value of an approximate maximum total of 620 538 Enersense International Plc shares, also including the proportion to be paid in cash.

Approximately 40 persons, including the CEO and other members of the Group Executive Team, belong to the target group of the plan.

The 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 share-based incentive plans, until the value of the 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 continues.

Restricted Share Plan 2025–2027

The reward from the Restricted Share Plan 2025–2027 is based on a valid employment or director contract and on the continuity of the employment or service during a vesting period. The reward will be paid after the end of a 24–36-month vesting period. The plan is intended for selected key employees only.

The rewards to be allocated based on the Restricted Share Plan during the years 2025–2027 correspond to the value of a maximum total of 20 000 Enersense International Plc shares, also including the proportion to be paid in cash.

18. Authorizing the Board of Directors to decide on a share issue and on granting option rights and other special rights entitling to shares

The Board of Directors proposes that the General Meeting authorize the Board to decide on a paid share issue and on granting option rights and other special rights entitling to shares as set out in Chapter 10 Section 1 of the Finnish Limited Liability Companies Act, or on the combination of some of the aforementioned instruments in one or more tranches on the following terms and conditions:

A maximum of 3,298,505 new and/or treasury shares of the Company (including shares to be issued based on special rights) may be issued under the authorization, which corresponds to approximately 20 per cent of all the shares in the Company’s shares at the time of the convocation of the General Meeting.

Within the limits of the foregoing authorization, the Board of Directors is given the right to decide on all terms and conditions for issuing shares and granting option rights and other special rights entitling to shares.

The Board of Directors is authorized to decide on the recording of the subscription price either as a share capital increase, or fully or partly in the reserve for invested unrestricted equity. A share issue and the issuance of special rights entitling to shares may also take place as a directed issue in deviation of the shareholder’s pre-emptive right if the Company has a weighty financial reason for this under the Limited Liability Companies Act (directed issue). In that case, the authorization can be used to finance corporate acquisitions or other investments that are part of the Company’s business, to maintain and increase the Group’s solvency, to implement an incentive scheme, and to expand the ownership base and develop the capital structure.

The authorization does not revoke the authorization granted by the Company’s Extraordinary General Meeting on 23 December 2022 to decide on the issuance of special rights entitling to shares.

The authorization is proposed to be effective until the close of the next Annual General Meeting, but no longer than until 30 June 2026.

19. Authorizing the Board of Directors to decide on the repurchase and/or on the acceptance as pledge of the Company’s own shares

The Board of Directors proposes to the General Meeting that the General Meeting authorize the Board of Directors to decide on the repurchase and/or on the acceptance as pledge of the Company’s own shares under the following conditions:

The shares will be purchased in trading organized by Nasdaq Helsinki Ltd at the market price on the date of repurchase.

Own shares may be repurchased and/or accepted as pledge in deviation from the shareholders’ proportional holdings (directed repurchase and/or directed acceptance as pledge). The repurchase of shares reduces the Company’s unrestricted equity. The Board of Directors shall decide on the manner in which the shares are repurchased/or accepted as pledge.

The authorization is proposed to be effective until the close of the next Annual General Meeting, but no longer than until 30 June 2026.

20. Closing of the Meeting

CEO Kari Sundbäck

Enersense is a major operator in the development, construction and maintenance of critical infrastructure for society. We operate in a customer-driven manner in the growing and evolving markets for electricity and telecommunications networks and energy industry solutions. In 2024, we improved the profitability of our core businesses, operating cash flow, customer satisfaction and occupational safety, and reduced climate emissions from our own operations.

Work safety is of primary importance to us and our customers. Our investment in proactive safety at work paid off, with a 34% reduction in the frequency of lost time injuries in 2024.

We work to enable the green energy transition and thus play an important role in the mitigation of climate change. We are committed to reducing our own and our value chain’s greenhouse gas emissions in line with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). In 2024, emissions from our own operations reduced by 33% and in 2025, we will set a target for our overall emissions.

2024 showed that our customer relationships are on solid ground. Customer satisfaction increased in all our divisions and we entered into a number of new customer relationships. Our customers expect us to offer an ever wider range of services in the future, and our staff are ready to develop them. 

A new direction in the summer

2024 was a special year for Enersense. At the beginning of the year, problems with individual projects were piling up and a change of direction became necessary. In June, the Board of Directors redefined the focus of our strategy and launched a strategic assessment of three of our businesses. I joined the team in September with the aim to strengthen the balance sheet and improve profitability. We will achieve these goals by developing our core businesses and by completing the strategic assessments.

Two of the three strategic assessments initiated in the summer have now been completed. We announced the sale of the wind and solar power project development business to Fortum in December, and the transaction closed on 26 February 2025. After the review period, we completed the strategic assessment of the zero-emission transport solutions business, which was decided to be ramped down.

The third strategic assessment, related to the Marine and Offshore Unit, is still ongoing. Our expertise in Mäntyluoto is unique both for offshore wind power and the rest of the arctic marine industry, such as constructing icebreaker vessels. These sectors are evolving rapidly, so we will continue the strategic assessment to ensure the best possible outcome.

Improved profitability in the second half of the year

In the second half of the year, we stabilised our business and built the foundations for sustainable growth. Starting in the summer, we thoroughly reviewed the condition of our businesses and critically assessed balance sheet values. This resulted in significant write-downs in the second and fourth quarters. These were necessary for the long-term development of our core businesses.

A clear focus on the core business was reflected in improved profitability in the second half of the year. Adjusted full-year EBITDA for the core businesses was EUR 19.9 (18.3) million. EBITDA for the entire Group was down on the previous year and amounted to EUR 14.5 (14.7) million, of which EUR 10.1 million related to the termination of the cooperation agreement of wind power project development, which has no net income or cash flow impact. We managed to raise cash flow from operating activities to clearly positive EUR 16.3 (-15.2) million.

I am particularly pleased with our Connectivity segment, which expanded its customer base and almost doubled its EBITDA to EUR 4.2 million. Power segment’s core business developed positively and we grew our substation business profitably in Finland. In the Industry segment, we completed significant projects, such as the piping and steel structures for Finland’s first green hydrogen production plant for P2X, and turned the early-year difficulties at the Mäntyluoto Marine and Offshore Unit into successful customer deliveries in the second half of the year.

We are developing our offering in areas where we have customers and strong expertise. Enersense’s revenue increased by 17% to EUR 425 million in 2024.

Building a new Enersense

In line with our strategic alignment of summer 2024, we will focus on project and service operations for the green energy transition in our Power, Connectivity and Industry segments. We will update our strategy to build sustainable growth in our core businesses. More information on our new strategy will be provided by the summer.

At the end of the year, to fund our strategic journey, we started a Value uplift program to improve efficiency and support profitable growth. The program will continue throughout the year, and we plan to gradually renew our procurement performance, evaluate our fixed costs and resources to support the implementation of the strategy as well as improve our commercial management. We are targeting an annual profit improvement of around EUR 5 million from 2027 onwards, and we estimate that the positive impact on profit will be seen gradually from 2026 onwards.

I would like to thank all Enersense’s employees for their commitment to the transformation of the company and for a job well done in 2024. I would also like to acknowledge our customers, shareholders and other partners for their trust and rewarding cooperation. I look forward to continuing our journey together.

Strategy

On 19 June 2024, Enersense announced that it would focus on its core businesses in project and service operations for the green energy transition in its Power, Industry and Connectivity segments. With the revised direction, Enersense started in late 2024 to update its core business strategy to create sustainable growth. The company will provide more details on its new strategy by summer 2025.

At the end of the year 2024, Enersense started a Value uplift -program to improve efficiency and support profitable growth. The program will continue throughout the year 2025, and the company is planning to gradually renew its procurement performance, evaluate its fixed costs and resources to support the implementation of the strategy as well as improve its commercial management. With the program, Enersense is targeting an annual profit improvement of around EUR 5 million from the second half of 2026 onwards, and is estimating that the positive impact on profit will be seen gradually from 2026 onwards. The cost of the Value uplift program is treated as an item affecting comparability.

Enersense promotes the sustainability of its business through three themes: sustainable work, sustainable business and the environment. Enersense is committed to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and will set science-based targets to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 2025. In 2024, key results of responsibility work included a 33% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions from the company’s own operations (Scope 1 and 2) and a 34% reduction in the frequency of lost time injuries from the year 2023. Enersense’s Sustainability Statement will be released as part of the Report of the Board of Directors on 26 March 2025.

Strategic assessments

As part of the strategic alignment defined in the summer 2024, Enersense launched a strategic assessment of three businesses: wind and solar power project development, zero-emission transport solutions and the Marine and Offshore Unit.

On 19 December 2024, Enersense announced the sale of its wind and solar project development business to Fortum, which completed on 26 February 2025. With the completion of the transaction, Fortum paid Enersense a fixed debt-free cash price of EUR 9.25 million. At the same time, Enersense recorded a profit of approximately EUR 19 million, and its equity ratio increased by approximately 10 percentage points. The transaction also includes Earn-Out up to EUR 74 million, which is based on the progress of the wind and solar power development projects covered by the Transaction, and any payment will be subject to individual projects reaching a final investment decision made by Fortum. Any payment related to the Earn-Out would be paid in instalments on a per project basis. No Earn-Out will be paid for any projects that do not reach the final investment decision in 15 years from the closing date. Enersense estimates a probability-weighted Earn-Out of EUR 33 million. Further, Enersense estimates that the potential Earn-Out cash flow of the Transaction could be generated earliest starting from 2027.

After the review period, on 28 February 2025, Enersense announced that it had completed a strategic assessment of its business focused on zero-emission transport solutions. The company is ramping down the business under assessment and estimates to record a write-down of approximately EUR 2–3 million related to the ramp-down in the first quarter of 2025.

In its Marine and Offshore Unit, Enersense has unique expertise in offshore wind power and other arctic marine industries, e.g. related to constructing icebreaker vessels. These sectors are evolving rapidly, so the company will continue the strategic assessment to ensure the best possible outcome. Due to the long production cycles in the marine industry and the uncertainty about the duration of the upcoming quieter period, Enersense revised the value of the Marine and Offshore Unit downwards by EUR 5 million in 2024.

Inside information: Enersense to discontinue its business of zero-emission transport solutions

Enersense International Plc | Inside Information | February 28, 2025 at 12:15:00 EET

Enersense International Plc has completed the strategic assessment of its business focused on zero-emission transport solutions. The company is ramping down the business under assessment and will focus on its core businesses in the Power, Industry and Connectivity segments in line with its strategy.

Related to the discontinued business focusing on zero-emission transport solutions, Enersense estimates to record a write-down of approximately EUR 2-3 million during the first quarter of 2025.

“Developing the business of zero-emission transport solutions would have required significant growth capital. Our focus is now on developing our core business operations on a cash-flow financed sustainable growth path”, says CEO Kari Sundbäck.

On 19 June 2024, Enersense announced its strategic direction to focus on project and service operations for the green energy transition. The company also announced that it is conducting a strategic assessment of three businesses: onshore wind power and solar power project development, zero-emission transport solutions and Marine and Offshore Unit. The first two strategic assessments have now been completed, and the strategic assessment of the Marine and Offshore Unit is ongoing. Enersense announced the sale of the onshore wind and solar project development business to Fortum on 19 December 2024, and the transaction was completed on 26 February 2025.

Enersense to expand the world’s most climate-friendly zinc plant in Norway

Enersense International Plc | Press Release | February 19, 2025 at 07:50:00 EET

Enersense, a creator of zero emission energy solutions, is bringing Finnish expertise to a zinc plant expansion project in Odda, Norway. A huge amount of steel structures and various mechanical equipment have been transported along fjords to the mountainous area, which is difficult to access.

Near Bergen, in Odda, Norway, amidst magnificent fjords, is one of Europe’s largest zinc factories. Zinc is an important raw material for the construction and chemical industries. Zink is used for example to protect steel from corrosion, which increases the lifetime of steel.

In the past, the downside of zinc production has been high carbon dioxide emissions and heavy metals. However, Boliden’s zinc plant has invested in environmentally friendly technologies and will be the world’s most climate-friendly zinc plant when completed.

As the plant expands, carbon dioxide emissions will be further reduced. Operations will be automated and digitalised. The know-how for this comes from Finland.

Last year, Enersense installed equipment and steel structures requiring meticulous expertise at the factory. Currently, Enersense is installing piping in the factory. These are not small projects, as more than 700 tons of steel structures alone have already been delivered to Norway. More than 800 pieces of equipment or other mechanical assemblies have been installed.

Working at the mercy of nature

According to Project Director Sami Pesonen, manufacturing steel structures and pipelines is demanding work.

“Enersense is a specialist in demanding pipe work and we have skilled and trained staff for this. At best, we have had more than 100 employees on site”, says Pesonen.

What is it like to work in one of the most beautiful places in Europe?

“Most of the work was done under the sky, especially in the beginning. Norway’s nature is beautiful but brutal. Heavy rains made the work difficult, and all the cargo had to be transported by ferry along the fjord. It’s only 120 kilometers from Odda to Bergen, but because of the poor transport links, it takes three hours by car. In addition, in winter, there is a constant risk of avalanches and landslides on the mountain roads”, says Pesonen.

“On the other hand, could you find a less stressful environment? The scenery is stunning, the fjords and high mountains are soothing. And knowing that our work makes a difference to the climate and the cleanliness of the Norwegian fjords makes it meaningful for everyone”, Pesonen adds.

The expansion will double the production of zinc in Odda. The aim is to have production up and running by 2025. Boliden Odda is 100% supplied by local Hydro power energy.

Inside information, positive profit warning: Enersense raises its 2024 revenue estimate and gives preliminary information on its 2024 financial performance

Enersense International Plc | Inside Information | January 28, 2025 at 13:00:00 EET

Enersense International Plc raises its revenue estimate for 2024 and specifies its EBITDA estimates. The company’s revenue has developed more positively than expected following the completion of several projects at the end of the year.

According to preliminary and unaudited information, Enersense’s revenue for the 2024 financial year is expected to be EUR 413-416 million. Previous guidance had estimated revenue at EUR 385-410 million.

According to preliminary and unaudited information, Enersense’s EBITDA for 2024 is estimated at EUR 14-16 million, of which EUR 10.1 million relates to the termination of the wind power project development cooperation agreement, which has no net result or cash flow impact. As a result of the agreement termination, the company recognised EUR 10.1 million in EBITDA and made a corresponding write-down of EUR 10.1 million in fixed assets. Excluding this impact, EBITDA is estimated at EUR 4-6 million, which is in line with the previous guidance range of EUR 4-8 million.

According to preliminary and unaudited information, the adjusted EBITDA of the core businesses is expected to be EUR 19-21 million. According to previous guidance, the adjusted EBITDA of the core businesses would be EUR 17-21 million.

Previous guidance for the 2024 financial period (issued on 4 December 2024)

In 2024, Enersense’s revenue is expected to be in the range of EUR 385–410 million and EBITDA in the range of EUR 4–8 million. Adjusted EBITDA in the core businesses is forecast to be in the range of EUR 17–21 million.

The financial guidance does not take into account any divestments that may result from the strategic assessment.

Enersense will publish its 2024 Financial Statement Bulletin on 28 February 2025.

Inside information: Enersense sells its wind and solar power project development business

Enersense International Plc | Inside Information | December 19, 2024 at 09:15:00 EET

Enersense Wind Ltd, a subsidiary of Enersense International plc (“Enersense”), has today signed a share purchase agreement under which its wind and solar power project development business will be sold to Fortum (the “Transaction”).

The Transaction is executed by the sale of shares in a subsidiary of Enersense Wind Ltd, to which the wind and solar power development business of Enersense Wind Ltd will be transferred prior to the completion of the Transaction. The Transaction consists of a fixed cash and debt-free purchase price of EUR 9.25 million and a variable price up to EUR 74 million, which is based on the progress of the wind and solar power development projects covered by the Transaction, and any payment will be subject to individual projects reaching a final investment decision made by Fortum (“Earn-Out“). The fixed purchase price will be paid in cash at completion of the Transaction. The Transaction is expected to be completed by the end of the first quarter in 2025 and it is subject to customary closing conditions.

Any payment related to the Earn-Out would be paid in instalments on a per project basis. No Earn-Out will be paid for any projects that do not reach the final investment decision in 15 years from the closing date. Enersense estimates a probability-weighted Earn-Out of EUR 33 million. Further, Enersense estimates that the potential Earn-Out cash flow of the Transaction could be generated earliest starting from 2027. At the completion of the Transaction, Enersense will record approximately a EUR 19 million profit, and its equity ratio will increase by some 7 percentage points.

As announced on June 19, 2024, Enersense has revised its strategy and is focusing on its core businesses in project and service operations for the green energy transition. Enersense is developing the strategy of its core businesses in Industry, Power and Connectivity segments. The divestment of the onshore wind power and solar power project development operations is a part of the company’s new strategy. Enersense continues the strategic assessment of the offshore wind and emission-free transport solution businesses.

“The sale of the wind and solar power project development business is a part of our strategic journey, and it is supporting our target to build sustainable growth in our core businesses. We are happy that wind power plays a key role in the new owner’s strategy and that Fortum shares our ambition to enable a carbon neutral society.

Enersense signs agreement on maintenance of Heinineva solar power park

Enersense International Plc | Press Release | November 08, 2024 at 11:30:00 EET

Enersense and EPV Aurinkovoima Oy have signed an agreement on the maintenance of the Heinineva solar power park. Heinineva, located in Lapua, is one of Finland’s largest solar power parks with a capacity of approximately 86 MWp and will produce more than 80 GWh of energy per year.

Enersense has previously cooperated with EPV Energy, the parent company of EPV Solar Power, and thus Heinineva’s maintenance agreement deepens the partnership. Enersense is also responsible for the maintenance of EPV Alueverkko Oy’s substations and transmission lines. The agreement now signed will be entered in the order backlog of Enersense’s Power business in the fourth quarter of 2024.

“Heinineva’s maintenance agreement strengthens our portfolio in the maintenance of renewable energy systems and is our largest project in terms of solar power. Solar power plants of this size are still relatively new in Finland, and we are proud to be among the first to secure the security of supply of this form of production as well. We already have strong expertise in the maintenance of solar power plants, and such a large production facility brings new, interesting operating methods from the maintenance perspective. The use of drones for panel field inspection and thermal imaging is one good example of how we can adapt to the new maintenance methods brought about by the energy transition alongside traditional substation maintenance,” says Antti Toppinen, Sales Manager of substation maintenance at Enersense.

“Our selected service partner brings strong expertise and locality to Heinineva’s service and continues EPV Group’s long-term cooperation with Enersense now with a new production form,” says Ari Soininen, CEO of EPV Aurinkovoima.

CEO Kari Sundbäck

After a challenging first half of the year, Enersense had an encouraging third quarter. Revenue in July–September increased by 18% from the comparison period and amounted to EUR 111.5 million. The growth was primarily driven by the Industry segment’s higher service and project business volumes and the favourable development of the Connectivity segment’s project business related to the construction of optical fibre networks.

Our efficiency programme is progressing as planned, and our systematic work to improve profitability is bearing fruit. After a loss-making second quarter, the Group’s EBITDA returned to positive and amounted to EUR 8.6 (3.9) million in the third quarter. Profitability improved in all segments. The businesses subject to a strategic assessment were loss-making in the early part of the year, but in the third quarter, their combined result was zero (EUR -0,4 million Q3/2023), for which I would like to thank the entire personnel of the units.

At the end of the review period, the Group’s order backlog stood at EUR 353 (511) million. The Industry segment’s order backlog decreased due to some long-term customer projects being close to completion. Although the construction of optical fibre networks continued at a good level, the Connectivity segment’s order backlog was particularly impacted by continued caution of telecom operators, especially in terms of mobile network investments. There were delays in some investment decisions in renewable energy, which had an effect on the Power segment’s order backlog. Additionally, in the comparison period, the segment’s order backlog was exceptionally high as a result of electricity distribution system synchronisation projects between the Baltic countries and Europe.

We entered into significant contracts

During the third quarter, we entered into significant agreements, including the one with Boliden, a Swedish metal company, for an extensive development project related to the Odda production plant in Norway. After the review period, we announced a four-year contract with Telia Towers Finland Oy on the maintenance of their mast and equipment room infrastructure, and an agreement with Fingrid on the construction of new substations in Lemmensaari and Sydänmaa.

Strategic assessment progressing as planned

In June, we announced that we would focus on our core businesses, which provide project and service operations for the green energy transition, and would carry out a strategic assessment of our businesses related to onshore wind power and solar energy project development, offshore wind power, and zero-emission transport solution development. The strategic assessment is progressing as planned, and we will report the results once the assessment has been completed.

We will continue to systematically implement our strategy to improve profitability

I started as the CEO of Enersense in late September. During my first few weeks here, I have sought to meet as many customers as possible and get to know our own teams. I am impressed by our people’s expertise and commitment to serving our customers. As one of our customers put it, “Enersense has a positive attitude and drive that cannot be found elsewhere in Finland”. We have a lot of positive and innovative spirit on which to build a good future.

We innovate in sustainability together with our customers. It is an essential part of our focus on our core business: the development of high-quality services that enable a sustainable green energy transition for our partners in the energy, telecommunications and industrial sectors, primarily in Finland and the Baltic countries. A prime example of this is the European patent granted by the European Patent Office for the gravity-based base solution we developed for offshore wind power plants.

During the rest of the year, we will focus on completing the strategic assessment we announced in June, and on sharpening our strategy for the selected core businesses, improving the company’s profitability and increasing shareholder value.

I would like to thank everyone at Enersense for an encouraging third quarter. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank Juha Silvola, who led Enersense as its interim CEO for almost the entire third quarter and now serves as the head of the Power and Connectivity segments. My thanks also go to our customers, partners and investors. With determination, Enersense will continue to focus on serving its customers and further developing its operations in line with its strategic guidelines.

Patent granted for offshore wind farm base solution developed by Enersense

Enersense International Plc | Press Release | October 14, 2024 at 14:00:00 EEST

The European Patent Office (EPO) has granted a European patent for the gravity-based base solution for an offshore wind power plant developed by Enersense.

What is special about the base solution is its transportation by floating to the installation site. Installation on the bottom is done by ballasting, and by de-ballasting, the base can be lifted up and reused in a new location or delivered for recycling at the end of the product’s life cycle. When using ballast, the use of large floating crane vessels is avoided when installing the stand.

The development of the concept began in 2017, and the official patent application was published on March 13, 2020. The European patent was officially published on 11.9.2024. The patent number is 3879035.

“We are very proud of this new patent, which represents a significant step forward for the offshore wind industry. This patent strengthens our position as an innovation leader and gives us even better opportunities to meet our customers’ needs and develop new, top-quality solutions,” says Niko Suomela, Vice President, Enersense Offshore Business.

President and CEO (acting) Juha Silvola

“Enersense’s growth continued in the first half of 2024. Our revenue increased by 23.3% to EUR 199.0 (161.3) million. The Group’s EBITDA turned into negative and was EUR -5.0 (3.4) million. In our view, the second quarter was the weakest of the year due to loss-making offshore business, costs relating to ramp-up of the EV charging business as well as the write-downs. Thanks to actions taken during the spring the turnaround in the profitability development started to be visible at the end of the second quarter, and the outlook for the latter part of the year is positive. Along with the new strategy, we have introduced a new KPI i.e. adjusted EBITDA of the core businesses. The adjusted EBITDA of the core businesses improved in the first half of the year, laying a good foundation for the future. The Group’s order backlog continued to be at a good level at the end of the review period, at EUR 415 (527) million, taking into account normal fluctuations in orders received.

In June, we announced that we will focus on our core businesses, which provide project and service operations for the green energy transition. These core businesses include maintenance, resource and project services for onshore production plants in the Industry business, design, construction and maintenance of transmission grids and electric substations as well as wind farms and solar farms and the entire Connectivity business. Along with the renewed strategy we will abandon our previous goal of becoming a zero-emission energy producer. In addition, we are considering selling our onshore wind power and solar power project development operations and are carrying out a strategic assessment of our offshore wind power business and our business operations focusing on the development of zero-emission transport solutions. On the same occasion we agreed with our financing providers on a EUR-10-million senior unsecured revolving credit facility (RCF) to support the implementation of the company’s strategy. The company will publish further information about the progress of the strategic assessment at the appropriate time.

Profitability of the core businesses is at the core of our actions. During the first part of the year, and especially in the second quarter, there were significant non-recurring items in the core businesses that turned their EBITDA negative. However, in the first half of the year, the adjusted EBITDA of the core businesses improved year-on-year thanks to better profitability in the transmission network projects and growth of the Connectivity segment’s revenue and measures to improve profitability.

Profitability of the businesses defined in the renewed strategy as non-core businesses was weak in the first half of the year. EBITDA for the non-core businesses was burdened especially by the offshore business, whose loss deepened further during the second quarter. In the second quarter, we have examined the causes for the challenges of the non-core business’s weak profitability, and analysed their risk positions and outlook. In the offshore business measures to improve profitability started to bring first results towards the end of the period and EBITDA is expected to be positive in second half of the year. The ramp-up of the EV charging business has been slower than anticipated in the tightened market situation and this has reflected into its profitability.

Based on the good profitability development in the core businesses and measures to improve profitability in the non-core businesses we have today given a new full-year guidance for 2024. Our view is that we have now reached the turning point and the second half is stronger than the first part of the year thanks to the corrective actions. In 2024, we expect the revenue to be in the range of EUR 365–390 million and EBITDA in the range of EUR 4–8 million. Adjusted EBITDA in the core businesses is forecast to be in the range of EUR
17–21 million.

The growth outlook in the green energy transition for the project and service business operations is good, particularly in energy infrastructure construction, and we are determined to take measures to improve profitability in all segments, using our strong professional skills to create a path to profitable growth. I would like to thank all Enersense employees for their commitment to these efforts and to welcome Kari Sundbäck, the new President and CEO, who will start on 25 November 2024, and Anders Dahlblom, the new Chair of the Board, whose appointments we announced on 11 July 2024, to accelerate the implementation of Enersense’s new strategy.”

Insider information: Enersense has revised its strategy and will focus on its core businesses – project and service operations for the green energy transition

Enersense International Plc
Insider information, 19 June 2024 at 2.25 p.m.

Enersense will focus, principally in Finland and the Baltics, on strengthening its significant market position in its Power, Industry and Connectivity business areas, which provide energy, telecommunications and industrial companies involved in the green energy transition with demanding project and service operations on a broad scale. In 2023, the revenue of these project and service operations were over EUR 300 million and EBITDA approximately EUR 20 million.

Enersense abandons its previous strategic goal of becoming a producer of zero-emission energy. The company is conducting a strategic assessment of its onshore wind power and solar power project development operations and is considering selling them. The company’s project portfolio totals roughly 5 gigawatts in addition to which it has projects worth of approximately 7 gigawatts in feasibility study phase. The company sees significant value in its project development operations. The company is also conducting a strategic assessment of its offshore wind power operations and its business focused on the development of zero-emission transport solutions, the future outlook of which is positive, but their development needs significant growth capital.

“We will focus on our core business operations: providing high-quality services that enable a sustainable green energy transition for our partners in the energy, telecommunications and industrial sectors principally in Finland and the Baltics. The company has launched a group-wide efficiency programme to support its profit-making capability. We are looking for a new CEO to determinedly implement our strategy, improve the company’s profitability and increase the shareholder value. I take this opportunity to thank the Board’s Strategy Committee for their work on the strategy revision,” says Jaakko Eskola, Chair of the Board of Directors.

In its organizational meeting after the Annual General Meeting on 4 April 2024, Enersense’s Board of Directors decided to establish a Strategy Committee to assist the Board in decisions regarding strategy. The Strategy Committee has now completed its task and the Committee’s activities will be discontinued.

Carl Haglund has acted as the Chairperson of the Strategy Committee and Anders Dahlblom, Anna Miettinen and Ville Vuori as members.

Agreement with financing providers on a new revolving credit facility to implement the strategy

Enersense has entered into an agreement with its financing providers on a senior unsecured revolving credit facility (RCF) to support the implementation of the company’s strategy. The price of the new financing is tied to Euribor added with a margin of 3,5% per annum. The new RCF will expire on 31 May 2025, and it is guaranteed until its expiry by Virala Oy Ab and Ensto Invest Oy companies, to which a 5% guarantee fee will be paid on market terms for the lifetime of the guarantee.

In conjunction with the RCF, changes have been made in covenants related to the group’s equity ratio, the net debt to EBITDA ratio and minimum liquidity regarding total financing provided for the company.

Distribution of funds as a return of capital not exercised

The Board of Directors will not exercise the right to distribute funds as a return of capital as authorised at the Annual General Meeting on 4 April 2024. Based on the authorisation provided at the AGM on 4 April 2024, the Board of Directors could have decided on distribution of funds as a return of capital of at most EUR 0.10 per share in two instalments between July and December 2024 as determined by the Board of Directors.

Low-emission steel piloted for the first time in Fingrid’s substation structures in Harjavalta

Enersense International Plc
Press release, 6 June 2024 at 2:00 p.m.

Enersense, a provider of zero-emission energy solutions, won a contract in Fingrid’s public bidding process at the beginning of the year for the construction of three new 110 kV substations in the Harjavalta area. The substations will be built as gas insulated switchgear (GIS) using a gas insulation solution that does not contain any SF6 gas which is a significant greenhouse gas.

As part of the project, Enersense’s delivery includes all steel structures to be built in the substation area, requiring a total of 76,000 kg of steel. The structures consist of 110 kV transmission line portals to be built in the substation area. There will be substation portals for connecting a total of fourteen transmission lines and they will be made of hot-dip galvanized steel.

Through its partners, Enersense procures all the steel structures in question as low-emission steel. In this project, low-emission steel means that the structures to be delivered are made of recycled steel and their carbon dioxide emissions are, on average, approximately 40% lower compared to structures manufactured using iron ore-based production methods.

The project is Fingrid’s first of this scale in Finland where all steel structures in the substation area will be delivered made of low-emission steel.

“Our experts have worked hard to find more sustainable steel solutions. Our procurement department has been in contact with nearly 100 different suppliers around the world to find suitable steel structures with lower emissions. We are excited about the result, but we know that this is only the first step towards sustainable steel construction. Fingrid has played a very important role in the realisation of the project. Such projects can be implemented when the end user is genuinely committed to their own emission targets,” says Eero Törmä, Engineering Manager for substations, Power at Enersense.

“Sustainability means actions and choices in everyday life. It’s easy to hide behind different reporting frameworks and abbreviations. Fingrid has a significant positive impact on climate change mitigation as we build an electricity network that will enable Finland to reduce emissions through electrification. We are ready to reduce our own negative climate impacts by switching to such electricity network structures in the future, the manufacture or use of which does not cause emissions. Steel is a key material in the formation of the climate impacts of grid construction, and we monitor the availability and suitability of low-emission products in this regard. It is better to be at the forefront of development doing things and showing the way than to be led by others in the rear,” says Timo Kiiveri, Executive Vice President at Fingrid.

Enersense enters into a new partnership agreement with P2X

Enersense International Plc
Press release, 31 May 2024 at 1:00 p.m.

The Industry business area of Enersense, a provider of zero-emission energy solutions, and P2X Solutions have entered into a new partnership agreement to deepen their cooperation on the operation and maintenance of the new production plant in Harjavalta. This agreement is a significant step in Finland’s energy transition, in which hydrogen plays a key role.

The role of hydrogen in the energy transition is unique, as it enables the production and storage of clean and renewable energy. Hydrogen can be used in a variety of ways in industry and transport, making it a crucial factor in the transition to a fossil-free future. The cooperation has previously included Enersense’s participation in project implementation, and now it is expanding to also cover operation and maintenance. This enables more efficient and sustainable energy production.

“The construction of our Harjavalta plant has progressed well, with more than 700 consecutive days without lost-time accidents on the site. In cooperation with Enersense, we want to ensure that the commissioning and operation of the plant will also run safely and reliably,” says Herkko Plit, CEO at P2X Solutions.

“The new partnership agreement supports our strategy of providing our customers with sustainable solutions for the energy transition. Hydrogen is becoming increasingly important, and we are committed to promoting its use,” says Mikko Luoma, Vice President, Smart Services, Industry at Enersense.

Deepening the cooperation in operation and maintenance ensures that hydrogen is produced as efficiently and sustainably as possible, thus supporting long-term climate targets.

Enersense enters into an agreement on building optical fibre networks for GlobalConnect in the Helsinki metropolitan area

Enersense International Plc
Investor news, 23 May 2024 at 2:45 p.m.

Enersense, a provider of zero-emission energy solutions, and GlobalConnect, one of the leading providers of digital infrastructures and telecommunications services in the Nordic countries, have entered into an agreement on building optical fibre networks in the Helsinki metropolitan area. The agreement will be recognised in the order backlog of Enersense’s Connectivity business area for the second quarter of 2024.

Enersense’s agreement covers the design of routes for the optical fibre networks, licensing, as well as earth-moving, telecom and project management stages following the turnkey principle.

“I’m thrilled about this project. The addition of new fiber network routes predominantly caters to the significant demand for establishing data centers.

Enersense has been informed, on 29 April 2024, about a decision made by an arbitral tribunal in Lithuania regarding a dispute between Enersense and Litgrid, Lithuanian electricity transmission system operator over an agreement about receivables and deliveries concerning two projects that have been executed in Lithuania during 2021-2023. Enersense initiated arbitration proceedings in the matter in April 2023. According to the decision of the arbitral tribunal, Litgrid is obliged to pay to Enersense approximately EUR 1 million. Based on the decision of the arbitral tribunal, Enersense writes down EUR 6 million from a EUR-7-million receivable it had recorded in the 2022 financial statements. The write-down will have a corresponding negative impact on the EBITDA in the second quarter of 2024.

The company will investigate the decision of the arbitral tribunal more in detail and assess further legal measures.

Enersense withdraws its EBITDA guidance given for the year 2024 for the time being. The company’s estimate on the revenue development in 2024 will remain unchanged.

President and CEO Jussi Holopainen

“The beginning of 2024, too, has been marked by uncertainties related to the operating environment. However, Enersense’s growth continued in the first quarter, supported by its strong order backlog. Our revenue increased by 31% year-on-year, increasing to EUR 98 (75) million. The Group’s EBITDA, supported by a recognition of around EUR 7 million in revenue from wind power projects, was EUR  4.5 (0.1) million. In the core business operations, considering that profitability is typically low in the first quarter because of seasonality, our performance was partly even better than expected. Offshore business’s weaker than expected Q1 burdened, however, the profitability for the entire Group. In total, investments in our strategic focus areas burdened the EBITDA by EUR  -5.6 (-2,3) million in the review period. The Group’s order backlog was EUR 445 (526) million at the end of March, almost at the same good level as at the end of 2023 (457).

Revenue increased significantly in the Power and Industry business areas. The Power business area’s revenue includes sales from wind power projects, and revenue from core business operations also increased. This is the first time we are reporting the Power and International Operations business areas together. Very similar projects have been carried out in these business areas for customers in the electricity network and energy sectors, for example. We believe that by combining international projects under one Power business area, we will increase both our competitiveness and our efficiency. In the Industry business area, revenue from core business operations grew markedly, but the most significant portion of the growth came from offshore business operations. Revenue in the Connectivity business area decreased in the first quarter, which is seasonally slower than the rest of the year.

In the first quarter, EBITDA grew considerably year-on-year. Profitability in the core businesses was good, but the loss in the first quarter in the offshore business turned the Industry business area’s EBITDA nearly EUR 3 million in the negative which weakened the profitability of the entire Group. The profitability development of the offshore business is being monitored closely by the management. Difficulties in resource management due to overlapping projects that have increased the realised costs have been identified as the reason for the poor profitability. Necessary organisational replacements have been carried out in the business, and the  measures have been initiated to reverse the profitability trend. The goal is for the EBITDA of the offshore business to become positive by the end of the year.

As a result of the poor performance of the offshore business, with the balance sheet treatment of wind power revenue, the equity ratio was lower than expected at the end of the review period. I am pleased that we reached an agreement with our financiers on lowering the equity ratio covenant limit at the time of review at the end of March. Despite increased uncertainty in the market environment, we believe that the profitability development for the rest of the year will be better, and we reiterate our guidance for 2024 from February.

Enersense’s strategy work started in 2020 and is entering the next phase. Enersense’s Board of Directors, elected in April, has established a Strategy Committee from among its members, and a review of Enersense’s long-term strategy has been started under the leadership of the committee. The strategy work and the related action plans are expected to be completed during 2024. To strengthen and accelerate the implementation of the company’s new development phase, Jyrki Paappa has been appointed as Enersense’s CFO as of 22 July 2024. He is a highly experienced professional who will contribute to our growth journey and the achievement of our strategic targets.”

This release is a summary of Enersense’s Business Review January-March 2024. The complete report is attached to this release as a pdf-file. It is also available on the company’s website at www.enersense.com/press-releases/.

European energy company Alpiq acquires majority share of Enersense’s associated company P2X Solutions

Enersense International Plc
Investor news, 12 April 2024 at 8:00 a.m.

Enersense’s associated company P2X Solutions (P2X), a Finnish forerunner of green hydrogen, and Alpiq, a leading Swiss energy services provider and European electricity producer, have agreed on a financing arrangement according to which Alpiq will invest approximately 47 million euros in P2X. With the investment, Alpiq becomes the majority owner of P2X. Respectively, in connection with the arrangement, Enersense’s shareholding will decrease to approximately 9 percent. Enersense continues at the Board of P2X and thus treats it as an associated company. P2X’s ownership arrangement does not have a cash flow impact on Enersense, nor has it any impact on the investment’s balance sheet value.

P2X is currently constructing Finland’s first industrial scale green hydrogen production plant in Harjavalta, Finland. The company is also planning hydrogen production plants in Joensuu and Oulu. 

“Enersense has been a co-owner of P2X since 2022. As an enabler of the energy transition, it is important for us to be part of building Finland’s hydrogen market, and it is wonderful to have an international specialist in renewable energy and the energy transition like Alpiq joining our efforts. By its significant investment, Alpiq substantially strengthens P2X’s position and ability to scale up their business. This is an indication of Alpiq’s strong faith in P2X in leading the way in hydrogen in Finland. We believe that this arrangement will also offer other cooperation opportunities as well,” says Enersense’s CEO Jussi Holopainen.

Alpiq generates electricity and offers its customers services in the fields of energy generation and marketing as well as energy optimization in several key markets in Europe, as well as in Finland with its own team since several years. The company has a particularly strong position and over 100 years of experience in hydropower production in Switzerland. Alpiq’s adjusted net revenue (excluding non-operating effects) in 2023 was over 8.5 billion euros (8.4 billion CHF).

The Annual General Meeting resolved to authorize the Board of Directors to decide on a paid share issue and on granting option rights and other special rights entitling to shares as set out in Chapter 10 Section 1 of the Finnish Limited Liability Companies Act, or on the com-bination of some of the aforementioned instruments in one or more tranches on the following terms and conditions:

A maximum of 1 649 250 new and/or treasury shares of the Company (including shares to be issued based on special rights) may be issued under the authorization. Within the limits of the authorization, the Board of Directors is given the right to decide on all terms and conditions for issuing shares and granting option rights and other special rights entitling to shares.

The Board of Directors is authorized to decide on the recording of the subscription price either as a share capital increase, or fully or partly in the reserve for invested unrestricted equity. A share issue and the issuance of special rights entitling to shares may also take place as a directed issue in deviation of the shareholder’s pre-emptive right if the Company has a weighty financial reason for this under the Limited Liability Companies Act (directed issue). In that case, the authorization can be used to finance corporate acquisitions or other investments that are part of the Company’s business, to maintain and increase the Group’s solvency, to implement an incentive scheme, and to expand the ownership base and develop the capital structure.

The authorization does not revoke the authorization granted by the Company’s Extraordinary General Meeting on 23 December 2022 to decide on the issuance of special rights entitling to shares.

The authorization is valid until the close of the next Annual General Meeting, but no longer than until 30 June 2025.

The shares will be purchased in trading organized by Nasdaq Helsinki Ltd at the market price on the date of repurchase.

Own shares may be repurchased and/or accepted as pledge in deviation from the sharehold-ers’ proportional holdings (directed repurchase and/or directed acceptance as pledge).  The repurchase of shares reduces the Company’s unrestricted equity.

The authorization is valid until the close of the next Annual General Meeting, but no longer than until 30 June 2025.
