Amsterdam/Oslo -- 31 October 2024 -- MPC Energy Solutions ("MPCES", "Company")
published its financial results for the third quarter and first nine months of
2024 today.

The third quarter was marked by a strong increase in energy output, resulting
in surging revenues and operating profits and continuing the trend reported in
previous quarters. An increase of proportionate energy output to 89.8 GWh
(+37% year-over year) led to proportionate project revenues and EBITDA of USD
9.7 million and USD 6.5 million, respectively, up from USD 6.8 million (+43%
year-over-year) and USD 3.0 million (+114% year-over-year) in the first nine
months of 2023, already surpassing the full-year numbers of 2023 as well.

"Most of our portfolio continues to deliver very good results, with increasing
and robust energy output figures", said Stefan H.A. Meichsner, Chief Financial
Officer of MPCES. "Furthermore, our operating margins continue to improve.
Paired with the lower overhead cost base we have now established, we are
quickly approaching positive operating margins on group level."

Proportionate revenues for the third quarter were reported at USD 3.6 million
(Q3 2023: USD 2.8 million). The Company also reported a positive group EBITDA
of USD 3.1 million year-to-date, compared to a negative group EBITDA of USD
1.1 million during the same period a year ago. The Company's overhead spending
is down 30% year-over-year following successfully implemented cost reduction
measures.

Impairments on CHP plant in Puerto Rico and adjusted guidance
As previously reported, its CHP plant in Puerto Rico has seen very little
energy output in 2024, caused by low energy demand from the off-taker, a local
pharmaceutical company. MPCES has decided to halt production as the Company
does not expect the situation to improve in the near future. Following
anticipated financial constraints of the off-taker, MPCES is in the process of
selling the asset and exiting the market. First impairment charges of USD 0.8
million have been recorded in the third quarter of 2024, and the Company
expects additional impairments following the sale.

As a consequence of the stopped production, MPCES has made a slight downward
adjustment to its full-year guidance. The Company now expects proportionate
revenues to be between USD 11.5 million and USD 12 million and proportionate
project EBITDA between USD 7.5 million and USD 8 million, aiming for the
higher end of both ranges given the solid performance from its remaining
portfolio. The previous guidance had proportionate revenues at USD 12 million
and proportionate project EBITDA and USD 8.5 million.

An exit from the CHP plant in Puerto Rico has been on the agenda for quite
some time and is not expected to have any effects on any other projects. MPCES
is optimizing its operations focusing on core markets with the highest
yielding projects.
