The Dutch solar energy company 365zon was Soltech's first international acquisition, when they became part of the Group in April 2022. They are a leading company on the Dutch market and are focused on solar energy and charging solutions for private individuals and housing associations but also for member and consumer organizations for homeowners and tenant owners.

They have now won a three-year solar energy contract for the housing association Helpt Elkander, who will offer their homeowners solar energy installations in an easy way. The housing association consists of over 1 000 houses and the contract means that 365zon will install solar panels for the homeowners over the next three years. In addition, the contract also includes an option for a further three-year extension.

– We are very happy to have been given the trust to assist Helpt Elkander to make their homes more sustainable in the coming years. I also want to take the opportunity to thank all our fantastic employees who make this type of assignment possible for us to carry out, says Lars Buuts, CEO of 365zon.

– I want to express my congratulations to the entire 365zon who landed this prestigious assignment over three years, which can also be extended for another three years. This type of contract proves that the market considers 365zon to be a very credible and competent company to cooperate with, says Stefan Ölander, CEO of Soltech Energy.

Peab is currently building the Volvo Truck Center project in Bäckebol, Gothenburg. The first phase of the project is expected to be completed in 2024 and the second phase in 2025. Takorama’s mission is to add 7,700 square meters of new roof and install a 1,000 square meter roof-mounted solar solution.

The property in Bäckebol is being built by Peab, a strong voice within sustainability matters in the industry. Since the ambition has been to create a sustainable property, a roof-mounted solar energy installation was therefore an obvious choice.

– It feels great to build a facility where climate-smart choices are made. We are also happy that Takorama is helping us with both the roofing and the installation of the solar energy solution, which will produce large amounts of electricity for the property's operations and charging posts, says Johan Zahlbruckner at Peab.

Both roofing and solar
Soltech acquires and develops companies in the solar, roof, facade and electrical engineering industries. Through the Group's transformation strategy, solar energy is then added to the companies' competencies. The new order from Peab proofing Takorama's strength in being able to offer both roofing services and solar energy.

– This is a very interesting and important project for us, and i would like to thank Peab for the trust. I am proud of my employees who make this combination of businesses possible and that we are now a roofing company that, in addition to roofing also offers high-quality solar energy services, says Michael Norrby, CEO at Takorama.

The solar energy industry has had a major boom and the demand for alternative and cost-effective energy solutions has increased as a consequence of the world situation.

Soltech revenues has grown We forty-fold our revenues during the year from approx. 50 MSEK in 2018 to approx. 2,000 MSEK in 2022. We are growing and organically by a whopping 57% in the whole year, which we are very proud of.

The future looks bright, and nothing is brighter than the sun. We are a solar Group that has approx. 950 employees, operating in Sweden, the Netherlands and in Spain, almost 80,000 committed shareholders and we are thus a strong driving force in the green transition – a modern energy movement.

Stockholm April 2023 Soltech Energy Sweden AB (publ)
The Board of directors

Soltech Energy Solutions is the Soltech Group's operating company within advanced energy systems, energy storage and large-scale solar energy solutions. The company has previously installed and developed several solar energy solutions together with Nybro Energi as part of a strategic solar energy collaboration. A collaboration that is now being extended when the company builds a large-scale battery park for Nybro Energi.

The battery park will be installed in Nybro and connected to the regional grid. The capacity of a 12 MW makes the battery park one of Sweden's largest of its kind. The battery complements the energy company's existing battery, which consists of a 5 MW battery, currently commissioned at their cogeneration plant. Håkan Dahlgren, CEO of Nybro Energi, sees the investment in a large-scale battery solution as an important step in their work for developing the electricity grid of the future.

– We are among the first energy companies in Sweden to invest in a large-scale battery storage of this kind. We see there is a market for these solutions and there will be a need to store energy and to stabilize the grid, when we are getting more and more renewable sources, says Håkan Dahlgren, CEO of Nybro Energi.

Balance between electricity production and consumption
As electricity production from volatile energy sources such as solar and wind increases, the electricity grid needs to be balanced. To do so, investments in battery storage are required for creating a necessary balance between electricity production and electricity consumption.

– We are very happy to help Nybro Energi with a tech solution that stabilizes the regional electricity grid. The battery storage will contribute with frequency services, cost optimization and will cut the power peaks that the increased electrification brings. This is a scalable future investment that will create great benefits onwards, says Rickard Lantz, Business Development Manager, Soltech Energy Solutions.

Soltech Energy acquires and develops companies in the solar, roof, facade, and electrical engineering industries. The Group also makes additional acquisitions to develop and strengthen existing subsidiaries.

The Group is now carrying out another strategic additional acquisition. The electrical engineering company Din Elkontakt will become part of the Ljungskile-based company Takorama, which has been a Soltech company since 2020. Takorama will now become a full-service company with a complete offering in roofing, solar and electrical technology.

– Takorama is one of all our roofing companies that has successfully transformed into a solar roof company. Therefore, it feels great to help them with an additional acquisition of a very competent electrical engineering company that will create great value. I would like to warmly welcome Mikael Johansson and the other employees at Din Elkontakt to the Soltech Group, says Stefan Ölander, CEO of Soltech Energy.

Strengthens assembly capacity and solar energy competencies
Din Elkontakt was founded in 2011 and operates in the Gothenburg region. Through their brand called Yes, they offer services in, among other things, advanced electrical installation, energy storage, electric car charging and solar energy. The Yes brand becomes part of Takorama.

– We are very happy that Soltech is helping us acquire Din Elkontakt. It’s a well-run company with which we have previously had a close collaboration with. Now we can take further steps towards our goal of offering a complete facility and be able to help even more customers with solar energy solutions, energy storage and electric car charging, says Michael Norrby, CEO at Takorama.

The Spanish solar energy company Sud Renovables became Soltech's second European acquisition when they became part of the Group in 2022. The company with approximately 150 employees is active in solar energy and storage solutions. Often, the projects consist of large-scale solar facades, roof-mounted solar energy solutions and parks and with this project, now also floating solar installations.

Sud Renovables has designed and installed Catalonia's, and the Soltech Group's, first floating solar energy solution on top of a rainwater reservoir in Tarragona. The project has been carried out for Atens, a company that has a long history of developing biotechnological solutions for the agricultural sector.

Although this is Sud Renovables first on water installation, CEO Manel Romero sees that this type of solution will grow in number in the future and the company has already started the next on water project.

– We clearly see that this type of solutions will increase in the region as we have many reservoirs like this one. The floating solar panels also reduce water evaporation and the water in turn helps to cool the solar panels which increases their efficiency by 10-15 percent. Floating solar energy installations are therefore advantageous from several perspectives, says Manel Romero, CEO of Sud Renovables.

New price target – which may soon need to be raised
As a result of the year-end report and that Analysguiden consider Soltech as a prominent consolidator in a fragmented market, they also set a new price target for the Soltech share.

The new price target and the justified value are set at SEK 25 per share. However, the analysis guide is careful to underline that even that level is starting to feel cautious and that they see potential for a rapid doubling of the share price. Despite the recent increase.

Analysguiden also believes that market forecasts for the solar energy market support continued strong growth for Soltech, also in 2024.

– A great analysis to read but foremost I want our fantastic subsidiaries to take the credit. I can’t think of any other industry that is as timely as solar energy, and now the work continues to build Soltech even stronger, says Stefan Ölander, CEO of Soltech Energy.

Here you can read the analysis in its entirety (in Swedish):

Soltech acquires and develops companies in the solar, roof, facade and electrical engineering industries. One way to develop the Group's companies is through strategic investments in additional acquisitions to strengthen the companies' competence and competitiveness.

A new additional acquisition has now been completed when the electrical engineering company Arvika Elinstallationer becomes part of the Soltech company Din Takläggare i Arvika. It is the second additional acquisition for the roofing company after the solar energy company Solexperterna was acquired to Din Takläggare in April 2022. An acquisition that has accelerated their transformation even more into a solar company.

Din Takläggare has shown strong growth and has increased its turnover from SEK 33.5 million in 2020 when the company was acquired by Soltech to aiming to reach approximately SEK 50 million in 2023. The company's increased solar operations makes this additional acquisition even more valuable, as the lack of electricians within the solar energy industry is huge in Sweden.

– Din Takläggare has had impressive ambitions since its start in the Group and has successfully transformed into a roofing company that also specializes in solar. We are now helping them further by making an additional acquisition of a skilled electrical engineering company with strong local roots that will strengthen their solar energy offer even further, says Stefan Ölander, CEO of Soltech Energy.

Din Takläggare's solar energy investment is growing
Arvika Elinstallationer is a well-established player in the region and their history stretches back to 1978. They previously had a close collaboration with Din Takläggare and will now become a wholly owned subsidiary of the company, which means that the brand Arvika Elinstallationer will remain.

– We are grateful that Soltech is helping us with this additional acquisition. Arvika Elinstallationer is a well-run company, and we already have a good cooperation. It feels great that we are kind of creating a small Group within the Group here in Arvika that offers comprehensive competence in roofing, solar and now also electrical engineering, says Håkan Wennberg, CEO of Din Takläggare.

▪ Soltech acquired the remaining 20% of the shares in the subsidiary Takrekond i Småland AB on 28 October, with access on the same day. Soltech Energy now owns 100% of the company and the acquisition of the remaining shares in the company is part of the work to continue strengthening Takrekond's transformation towards becoming a solar-roof company.

▪ On October 14, Neabgruppen filed for bankruptcy. At the time of the acquisition, Neabgruppen was a clear turn-around case that Soltech worked actively to turn around. The assessment was that there were no conditions to continue the business. Bankruptcy trustees were appointed on 14 October and from this date Soltech does not have the controlling influence over the company.

CEO LETTER

The focus on profitability gives results
Soltech's underlying business shows profitability and a new revenue record in the fourth quarter. Our underlying business reach SEK 755.2 (238.2) million in revenue and delivers an EBITDA of SEK 47.4 (-25.8) million. In the fourth quarter we grew organically by a full 81%, which I am extremely proud of, and in total it was 217% including acquisitions.
During 2022, we have gradually increased our focus on profitability. This means. that more focus is placed on synergy effects within procurement, sales, marketing and personnel issues. Our subsidiaries are doing a very good job and it shows now in this last quarter. What I am most proud of, however, is that our companies have managed to create profitability while growing organically by 81%.

From SEK 50 million to SEK 2,000 million
In the fall of 2018, we decided to change our strategy and start acquiring companies in the solar energy, roof, facade and electrical engineering industries. We had revenues of approximately SEK 50 million in 2018. We have now closed the fourth year after the strategy change and are very proud to have increased our revenues to SEK 2,000 million. Carrying out this extreme growth obviously requires large investments and we have made a loss according to plan during these years. For 2023, our plan is to gradually return to strong focus on our profitability. It is therefore particularly gratifying that in the underlying business we are already doing this in this last quarter

Fixed price project and contract review
A challenge in 2022 was that many subsidiaries were stuck in large projects with a fixed price where the extreme price increases on input goods could not be charged to the customer. On the plus side, the majority of these projects have been finalized in Q3 and Q4 2022, although some remain to be completed in Q1 2023.

At Group level, we have implemented a number of different initiatives to mitigate similar situations in the future. With everything from Group-wide purchase agreements, updated customer agreements and implementation of better adapted system support in combination with resource reinforcements.

Solar and Soltech has the future ahead
I can think of no other industry that is as timely as the solar industry. A long series of macro trends is a strong tailwind for us. I am thinking of private consumers, companies and the public sector who want to produce their own energy from the sun. Not only to get lower electricity costs, but to feel that they are part of a modern energy movement that is creating a sustainable green future. A couple of other trends that benefit us are of course the political will to support solar energy and the entire large financial sector that wants, and has demands, to invest in a sustainable future.

Welcome to join us as we create a modern energy movement and shareholder value.
