Words fromthe CEODear shareholders and investors!

We are a growing company with big goals

We are a pronounced growth company and compared to 2018 we deliver 503 percent growth

at group level and 1 682 percent growth if we only look at the Swedish operations. But we still

do not show profit on the last line. A big reason for this is that we have large one-off costs to

build the right platform for our expansion. We must invest to build a base that will meet our high

goals. Another strong contributing reason is that we have too high costs to raise capital for our

operations in China and then high current interest costs. When we have built our platform for the

future and when we have succeeded in reducing funding costs, the result will be better. When

we add an increased business volume as well as increased synergy effects within the Group, we

believe in a good result going forward.

Double share price and number of shareholders When we summarize 2019, it is without a doubt our most exciting year ever. It is gratifying to all shareholders that our share price more than doubled during the year. We are also really proud of the confidence all our new sharehol-ders have given us. In 2019, the number of shareholders has increased from around 15,000 to about 32,000. For our owners, we have shown strong growth in our business in China during the year and not least a good result of our acquisition strategy in Sweden.

The solar energy market is unique Few people are able to work in an industry that in Sweden is expected to double every year. Even in the global

perspective, annual growth is good and currently amounts to about 20 percent. That we also work in the solar energy industry which is doing good for the climate of the world is really what makes us struggle to achieve our goals. We at Soltech, just like our shareholders, want to get a good return on our investment and at the same time do good for the climate.

The solar energy market is in a build-up phase and with many companies selling standard panels, prices are being squeezed which reduces margins. In the standard panel segment, we are investing in volume to continue to be one of the largest on the market. As our top line products, we have our building-integrated roof and facade »

5Soltech Energy Sweden AB (publ) Year-end report 2019

panels where we have a better margin. Here we work, among other things, with Vattenfall as a partner. A combi-nation of standard and our integrated panels will pave the way for good future profitability.

In the fall of 2019, we announced our goal of reaching SEK 4.7 billion in sales within five years (2024). It is an aggres-sive target but fully achievable with our stated acquisition strategy, strong organic growth, our own building-integra-ted products and a rapidly growing market in Sweden and internationally.

Soltech has always been a company with many small sha-reholders and it is something we are proud of and cherish. At the same time it would be a message of strength to have a number of institutional investors in the ownership circle. Since the fall of 2019, we have noticed an increa-sed interest from this group both at home, but also from international investors. In line with this, we will examine different sources of funding during the year to create the conditions to achieve our expansion goals.

The acquisition strategy resulted in five new subsidiaries In late autumn 2018, we launched our acquisition strategy to create a stronger platform of business in Sweden. Both for our own aesthetic and building-integrated products, but also for taking part of the large market for standard surface-mounted solar cells. During the first quarter of 2019, we acquired the majority of Nyedal Solar Energy, NP Group and Swede Energy. With the help of our successful rights issue in May / June 2019, we continued our work and in September we acquired the remaining 49 percent of Nyedal Solar Energy. Just before Christmas we acquired Soldags and Merasol, where we took over as owners on January 2, 2020. We started the 2020 acquisition journey by presenting on February 25, the acquisition of 70 percent of Takorama AB, which we will take on March 2.

The transformation of traditional industries We are driven by doing good business that contributes to a good environment. Being part of and transforming traditional industries is a new dimension that we started with during the year. It is a great satisfaction for us and for the employees of traditional roofing companies, facade companies, electricians and others. to develop their companies in a more environmentally oriented way. With Soltech’s financial and knowledge-based support, these companies become sustainable future companies by adding solar energy solutions to their offering. With this strategy, we really change society. Takorama is the first example of this year.

Our business in China Advanced Soltech, which issues green bonds in Sweden to finance the expansion of solar power plants in China, has grown from 91 megawatts (MW) to 139 MW per year-end 2019. Our new growth plan for one gigawatt (GW) fully connected to the grid in 2024 is firm. This corresponds roughly to the effect of a nuclear reactor in Forsmark. Regarding the outbreak of the Coronavirus, it is our assessment at present that it will affect Advanced to a limited extent.

Listing of Advanced Soltech (ASAB) To assist with the planned listing of ASAB on the Nasdaq First North Growth Market during the first half of 2020, ASAB has mandated Carnegie Investment Bank and DNB Markets as advisors. The listing process is ongoing and follows the plan. All shareholders in Soltech will be infor-med in good time of the listing by letter.

New Graphic manual and website In December, the parent company changed its graphic profile at the same time as a new modern website was launched. Our strategy is for this new profile to be used by all subsidiaries in the Group, but these will retain their exis-ting names. With a common graphical profile we create a stronger brand awareness which benefits us in both sales and recruitment work.

We are facing the big breakthrough We have come a bit into this exciting year and the plan is to expand greatly in a market that is really facing its breakthrough. We have the drive, resources, products and timing on our site. Welcome to follow along on the journey.

Sincerely,

Stefan Ölander, CEO

Advanced Soltech’s Chinese operation

Advanced Soltech Sweden AB (publ) “ASAB”, offers com-mercial Chinese customers electricity from solar energy produced on the customer’s own roof through wholly owned subsidiaries in China. The offer to the customer means that ASAB invests in, owns and operates the solar power plant on the customer’s roof, against the customer purchasing the electricity that the plant produces on a 20-year contract at a pre-agreed price.

The operations in China are financed through loans and equity from ASAB in Sweden. Through the financing, inve-stors can take advantage of the strong growth in Chinese solar energy and contribute to sharply reduced carbon dioxide emissions. A produced kWh of solar energy in China replaces a dirty energy mix based on coal with about 10 times higher greenhouse gas emissions than in Sweden.

Significant events during the year. The transfer of ow-nership of ASAB’s operating subsidiary in China, ASRE, was completed at the end of September 2019 and ASAB now owns 100% of the company. ASAB is 51% owned by Soltech Energy Sweden AB (publ) and 49% by Soltech Energy’s Chinese partner, Advanced Solar Power Hangzhou Inc. ”ASP”. During 2019, ASAB was strengthened with a CFO / COO and a controller. Furthermore, a new graphic profile has been developed and a website has been launched: www.advancedsoltech.com

Financing the business. ASAB’s capital has so far mainly come from the green bond issues the company has implemented. Since June 2016, ASAB has issued five bonds, SOLT1-5.

SOLT 1-4 addressed to the public and SOLT5 to institutional investors. In total, these five bonds have generated app-roximately SEK 854 million for solar energy investments in China. At the time of writing, ASAB has paused a bond issue with Nordea and DNB because of the Corona virus. This will resume as soon as the market situation has stabilized. Meanwhile, alternative solutions are being investigated.

Operations in China are growing according to plan and as of December 31, 2019, solar power plants equivalent to 139 MW were connected to the electricity grid.

The interest in ASRE’s concept and offer remains strong and we need ongoing capital for completed orders and continued expansion. ASAB’s new long-term goal, to reach an installed capacity of 1000 MW, which is fully operational by 2024, in 2023, remains firm.

During the period, work on listing ASAB on the Nasdaq First North Growth Market during the first half of 2020 began with our advisers Carnegie and DNB. All shareholders in Soltech will be informed in good time via mail about this special listing.

China is the world’s largest solar energy market

Operations during the year

Turnover and earningsThe Soltech Group operates in two business areas, in-house developed integrated solar energy products and standard solar energy solutions sold primarily in Sweden and Energy (sales of electricity) conducted by the Chinese companies ASRE and Suqian. Growth has been good in both of these areas during 2019. Through several acquisi-tions, sales have increased and amount to SEK 201 million (11.3) for the Swedish operations. Revenue in China, from sales of electricity and including grants, amounted to SEK 122.6 (48.8) million.

Operations in China have been consolidated for the first time for a full year after restructuring of ownership during the year. Hangzhou Advanced Soltech Renewable Co. Ltd. (”ASRE”) has been a wholly owned subsidiary of Advanced Soltech Sweden AB (publ) (”ASAB”) since September 2019, which in turn is 51% owned by Soltech Energy Sweden AB (publ). The remaining 49% is owned by Soltech Energy’s Chinese partner Advanced Solar Power Hangzhou Inc (”ASP”) which in 2019, through a set-off issue, exchanged its directly owned shares in ASRE to shares in ASAB.

Due to the restructuring of ownership in ASRE, a change of auditor to the Group’s auditor became necessary. On closer inspection, conducted by the new PWC audit firm in China,

certain uncertainties emerged regarding the accounting date for the acquisition of a portfolio corresponding to 21.4 MW of solar power plants, which corresponds to about 16% of ASAB’s total installed solar capacity in China.

The purchase agreement of the portfolio stipulates that the income from the portfolio will be credited to ASRE from November 1, 2018. An accrual of these has been made in the Chinese accounts until 2019, as a result of payment for the facilities being made in 2019. The acquisition of the portfolio was finally registered with the Chinese authorities in May 2019, which could lead to the interpretation that the acquisition should be consolidated from that date. The issue is being investigated further and will be clari-fied in the ordinary report presented to the 2020 Annual General Meeting.

Operating profit (EBIT) for the Group for the full year 2019 was SEK 49.1 (5.2) million and for the Parent Company SEK -18.6 (-16.5) million. Net interest income for the full year 2019 for the Group was SEK -78.5 (-20.8) million. Net interest income includes amortization of costs for raising capital and losses attributable to currency effects on receivables and liabilities. Net interest income for the parent company was 5.5 (-0.2). The Parent Company’s net interest income includes dividends from subsidiaries.

Cash flow for the full year 2019 amounted to SEK 55.3 (1.6) million. Cash flow has been affected partly by cash received from new issues, loans raised and investments in subsidiaries and solar power plants.

InvestmentsThe Group’s main investments consist of investments in solar power plants. Investments in tangible and financial assets during the year amounted to SEK 531 M (392).

StaffStaff costs for the full year totaled SEK 45.1 (11.8) million. Costs for the fourth quarter amounted to SEK 13.4 (2.6) million.

After the end of the year, the company carried out two private equity issues in connection with the acquisition of shares in Merasol AB and Soldags i Sverige AB. The number of shares after these directed new issues amounts to 55,028,718. Subscribed and outstanding options amount to 1,450,913. which upon full exercise would dilute the number of shares by approximately 2.6%.

Accounting and valuation principles The same accounting and valuation principles have been applied in this interim report as in the Company’s annual report for 2019. that the Company applies the Annual Accounts Act and the Accounting Board’s general advice BFNAR 2012: 1 Annual Report and Consolidated Accounts (K3). Companies in which Soltech holds the majority of the votes at the Annual General Meeting are classified as

subsidiaries and consolidated in the consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition.

Key figures Soltech’s financial reports include both financial key ratios that are specified in current financial reporting rules, alternative key ratios as defined by ESMA and other key ratios related to the business. The alternative key ratios are considered relevant for an investor who wants to better understand the company’s results and financial position.

Significant risks in summary All corporate ownership and ownership of shares is associ-ated with risk taking and the operations of Soltech Energy Sweden AB (publ) are thus no exception. When assessing the Company, it is important to consider a number of risk factors, a selection of which is presented below in a strong summary.

Business risks – normal business risks occur in all compa-nies and are risks such as lower interest in the company’s products than expected, the market may be less than expected, risk of complaints, risks in accounts receivable, risk of disputes and guarantee commitments. All of these risks can adversely affect the company’s earnings and financial position. In the solar panel business area for electricity generation, there are also many players with si-milar or other technologies. It may turn out that customers prefer competitors’ systems, which would also adversely affect the company’s results and position.

Global economic conditions – changed conditions and conditions in the global economy can have an unforeseen impact on the company’s development. For example, the company’s profit is affected by changes in the relationship between the Swedish and Chinese currencies and changes in these currencies against the euro. Increased interest rates locally or globally affect both borrowing costs and customers’ calculations. The ongoing outbreak of virus around Covid19 can of course also affect the company.

Audit This year-end report has not been subject to review by the company’s auditor.
