Amsterdam/Oslo -- 28 February 2025 -- MPC Energy Solutions ("MPCES",
"Company") published its preliminary, unaudited financial results for 2024
today. The audited results will be published along with the Annual Report and
ESG report on 17 April 2025.

MPCES experienced a fourth quarter above expectations, helping the Company to
beat its year-end guidance on proportionate revenues and meet its guidance for
proportionate project-level earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and
amortization (EBITDA).

MPCES reported significant year-over-year increases across all key metrics in
2024. The Company generated 116.1 GWh of clean and affordable energy (+31%
compared to 2023). Proportionate revenues and project-level EBITDA were USD
12.8 million and USD 7.9 million, respectively, substantially surpassing 2023
values of USD 9.0 million and USD 4.4 million. EBITDA margins improved as well
from 49% to 61%, despite poor margin contributions from projects in Puerto
Rico and Colombia, which were compensated by strong performances of the
Company's solar PV plants in El Salvador and Mexico.

"We are looking back at a year of record overall performance of our
portfolio", said Stefan H.A. Meichsner, Managing Director and Chief Financial
Officer of MPCES. "We also managed to lower overhead spending by 30%
year-over-year, as targeted, and are proud to report substantial increases and
improvements of our operating profits and margins compared to 2023 and prior
years."

The Company reported a positive consolidated group EBITDA of USD 3.8 million
compared to a negative group EBITDA of USD 0.7 million in 2023. Adjusted for
impairment charges (see below), the Company reported a consolidated EBIT of
negative USD 0.4 million (2023: negative USD 4.8 million).

"With the addition of our project San Patricio in Guatemala to the portfolio
in a few months and further cost reductions we already implemented for 2025,
positive group EBIT is all but ensured for the current financial year",
projected Meichsner.

Construction in Guatemala on track
Meichsner also underlined that the construction of the 66 MWp solar PV plant
in Guatemala is progressing as planned. "We are on track to connect the
project to the grid by mid-2025." This project alone is expected to generate
revenues of more than USD 8 million per year at EBITDA margins above 80
percent once operational. It will be the largest project in the Company's
portfolio and have a significant positive impact on the Company's overall
financial results.

Impairments weight down net result of the group, but clean up balance sheet
MPCES decided to record several impairment charges in 2024, which were in part
triggered by the sale of its CHP plant in Puerto Rico, but also by adjusting
the carrying value of certain investments, legacy obligations and discontinued
development projects. The overall consolidated impairment charge for 2024 was
USD 12.9 million, which in turn led to a net loss for 2024 of USD 15.7 million
(negative EPS of USD 0.69 and negative USD 0.05 when adjusted for the non-cash
impairment charges and non-cash FX effects).

Meichsner added. "Despite the strong operating results and successful cost
reduction measures, some of our investments, particularly those in Puerto Rico
and Colombia, delivered results below our original expectations. Consequently,
value adjustments were required. In addition, we wanted to make sure that we
start 2025 with a solid and clean balance sheet and therefore decided to also
remove valuation risks related to certain legacy obligations and development
projects."
