Unless otherwise indicated, information contained in this presentation concerning the industry, competitive position and the markets in which the Company operates is based on information from independent industry and research organizations, other third- party sources and management estimates. Management estimates are derived from publicly available information released by independent industry analysts and other third-party sources, as well as data from the Company's internal research, and are based on assumptions made by the Company upon reviewing such data, and the Company's experience in, and knowledge of, such industry and markets, which the Company believes to be reasonable. In addition, projections, assumptions and estimates of the future performance of the industry in which the Company operates and the Company's future performance are necessarily subject to uncertainty and risk due to a variety of factors, including those described above. These and other factors could cause results to differ materially from those expressed in the estimates made by independent parties and by the Company. Industry publications, research, surveys and studies generally state that the information they contain has been obtained from sources believed to be reliable, but that the accuracy and completeness of such information is not guaranteed. Forecasts and other forward-looking information obtained from these sources are subject to the same qualifications and uncertainties as the other forward-looking statements in this presentation.
Non-IFRS Financial Metrics
This presentation presents Adjusted EBITDA, a non-IFRS financial metric, which is provided as a complement to the results provided in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IFRS"). A reconciliation between Adjusted EBITDA and Net Income, its most directly comparable IFRS financial measure, is contained in the tables below. The Company is unable to provide a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to Net Income on a forward-looking basis without unreasonable effort because items that impact this IFRS financial measure are not within the Company's control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted. These items may include, but are not limited to, forward-looking depreciation and amortization, share based compensation, other income, finance income, finance expenses, share of losses of equity accounted investees and taxes on income. Such information may have a significant, and potentially unpredictable, impact on the Company's future financial results.

Strong business environment for Enlight
High electricity demand and low equipment costs boosting project returns
Global electrification trend intensifies - significant acceleration in U.S. load growth driven by re-shoring of manufacturing, data center, and EV demand
Renewables is the "only game in town" to supply the incremental demand, comprising 95% of the US interconnection queue, with similar levels in Europe
Persistently high US PPA prices due to increased demand and scarcity of new power projects
Long term power prices in Europe remain high, reflecting high projected returns for Enlight's portfolio
Equipment cost levels remain low, attractive for buyers

Project Finance
1Does not include the remaining Israel PV Storage projects- Cluster projects are mostly operational; 2 EBITDA is a non-IFRS financial measure. The Company is unable to provide a reconciliation of EBITDA to Net Income on a forward-looking basis without | |
unreasonable effort because items that impact this IFRS financial measure are not within the Company's control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted. 3Construction costs for our U.S. projects assume receipt of certain ITC and PTC credits under the IRA | 9 |
and are net of the estimated value of these credits. For projects under the PTC track, the credit value is based on the project's expected production and a yearly CPI indexation of 2%, discounted by 8% to COD. For ITC projects, the credit value is 30% to 40% |
of project costs, depending on whether facility qualifies for energy community adder. The net cost does not reflect the full tax equity investment, only the estimated value of the tax credits
2024 on plan: Atrisco expected to reach COD & three new flagship projects
