03Position &
Strategy
▪ Focus was only on wind energy for the first 20 years;solar energy has complemented the core business since 2015
and battery storage since 2020
▪ Storage and hybrid projects gain in importance:several projects under construction; team formed for hydrogen
projects
▪ An increasing number of countries and technologiescontribute to the company’s success
ABO Wind is Well Positioned
03. Position & Strategy
▪ International diversificationbalances out fluctuations in individual markets
▪ Since 2016, the annual net profit has always exceeded ten million eurosand, despite volatile business, has never been in the red in the company's history
▪ Twelve countries contributed to the revenues in 2021 and the company’s internationalisation is progressing
▪ Balanced country portfolioof established markets and promising countries
▪ Technical services (operational management, maintenance, products) are important complements;2021 takeover of VSB technology strengthens maintenance business

04Current
Developments
▪ Strong and continuous growth of the development portfolio
▪ Delays and price increasesfrom suppliers are challenging
▪ Increased expansion targets for renewable energies promote business(e.g. in Germany)
▪ The situation regarding permits is showing first signs of improvement –around 100 MW in the implementation phase in Germany
▪ ABO Wind has become a market leader in innovation tenders in Germany –tariffs secured for six hybrid projects; implementations are underway
▪ Tariff secured for another 50 MW in Greece and construction phase started after previous commissioning and sale of the first two Greek solar farms (together 45 megawatts)
▪ Continuous success in France:five wind farms (44 MW) built in 2021 and 60 MW under construction, including a first smaller solar project
Continuity and Innovation
04. Current Developments
▪ Finland: first 100 MW project commissioned (Välinkangas, Finnland)
▪ Largest turnkey project to date under construction (Pajuperänkangas, Finnland, 86 MW)
▪ Spain: 100 MW wind farm under constructionin Cuevas de Velasco, commissioning imminent
▪ Poland: first wind farm (20 MW) under constructionAcquisition of further solar and wind projects progresses
▪ Northern Ireland: turnkey 50 MW battery sold commissioning imminent
▪ Sites for large wind and solar farms in progress, some
with >1,000 MW capacityfor hydrogen production in South Africa, Canada, Finland and Argentina

Outlook
Financially Strong Project Developer with Dynamic Growth
06. Summary & Outlook
▪ Strengthened financial base (capital increases, subordinated bond)allows independent turnkey construction of even large projects (> 100 MW)
▪ Stable conditions in key markets (Germany, France, Spain, Finland)with positive prospects
▪ Impacts from Covid-19 and supply shortages present challenges,but are manageable; delays are foreseeable
▪ 2021 annual profit of more than ten million euros achieved for the sixth year in a row –at least a similar result is expected for current year
▪ Managing Directors expect further growth in profitability in the coming yearsand annual net profits averaging 20 million euros in the medium term (from around 2024 on)
▪ Considerable further potential in the long-term – also for hydrogen
