Refocusing on core activities

Improving performance through efficiency and optimisation

Self-financing 300 to 400 MW per year from 2026 to 2030

Returning to positive net result from 2026 onwards

Voltalia (Euronext Paris, code ISIN: FR0011995588), an international player in renewable energy, presents today its SPRING transformation plan. Building on Voltalia's core strengths, the plan sets a clear roadmap towards four drivers: a business refocused on core activities and geographies, a clarified operating model, an improved performance through efficiency and optimisation, and an enhanced profitability and value creation

At 10:00 AM CET today, Voltalia's management will present the 2025 first-half results, and outline SPRING's strategic priorities, operational initiatives, and financial outlook. The company will provide a clear perspective on the evolution of its business strategy and corresponding financial outcome, demonstrating how SPRING delivers value for all shareholders.

The event will be held in-person, and webcasted live. Presentation materials and replay will be made available after the event on Voltalia's Investor Relations website.

A NEW TRAJECTORY TOWARDS 2030

Having conducted a comprehensive strategic review since his appointment last January, Robert Klein, CEO will introduce his vision for Voltalia to 2030. Together with Yoni Ammar, Deputy CEO, and Sylvine Bouan, Group CFO, he will outline how SPRING will transform the Group in a changing market environment, accelerate value creation and deliver results through four strategic drivers:

• A business refocused on core activities and geographies
• A clarified operating model
• An improved performance through efficiency and optimisation
• An enhanced profitability and value creation

In addition to these transformation drivers, Voltalia will be able to build on strong foundations to achieve its 2030 trajectory, including:

• A proven track record of projects in development
• A portfolio of robust long-term electricity sales contracts
• A recognized global expertise across the full value chain from Development, Construction to Operation-Maintenance
• A proven capability to deliver complex projects (hybrid and cluster)¹

Robert Klein, Chief Executive Officer of Voltalia, declared:

"With SPRING, Voltalia takes a decisive step to strengthen its position as a solid and sustainable leader in renewable energy. We are entering a new stage: delivering 300-400 megawatts of self-financed growth per year until 2030 while improving profitability and efficiency, laying the foundations for our long-term ambition. I am proud to launch this strategic plan, which will profoundly transform our company, and I know I can count on the dedication and talent of all our teams to bring it a success."

Laurence Mulliez, Chairman of Voltalia, added:

"I am delighted to share this pivotal moment with our investors today. Under Robert's leadership, the Board of Directors has full confidence in Voltalia's strategic direction and endorses this plan, which combines ambition and discipline and demonstrates its ability to create lasting value for all shareholders. As representative of the main shareholder, I would also like to reaffirm that Voltalia remains a strategic asset for us."

SPRING ROADMAP: TOWARDS A STRONGER, MORE FOCUSED, RENEWABLE ENERGY LEADER

• A business refocused on core activities and geographies
• Rebalancing geographical footprint: concentrating resources on a maximum of twelve most promising geographies, while exiting non-strategic geographies and assessing other markets for further rebalancing in the coming months
• Concentrating on three priority technologies: Solar, Onshore wind, and Battery storage
• Strengthening collaborative strategy and risks sharing by implementing partnerships, co-development and co-investment platforms to accelerate growth while balancing capital preservation, pipeline strength, and value creation
• Refocusing on core activities with the disposal of non-core assets

The related medium-term cash inflow would amount to 300 to 350 million euros mainly between 2026 to 2028. On the other hand, the recurring cash savings are expected to reach around 35 million euros per year from 2026 onwards.

• A clarified operating model
• After a decade of strong growth in the business activity focused on third-party clients, creating a dedicated subsidiary focused on services of construction and maintenance: to clarify responsibilities, avoid overlaps and strengthen competitiveness, as Services activities have now reached the critical scale required to operate with enhanced agility
• The creation of a dedicated subsidiary allows each activity to focus on its strengths: Development and Energy Sales can choose the most competitive partners, while Services can target the most profitable contracts, even in markets where Voltalia does not develop projects
• Consequently, Voltalia will develop new financial communications to improve performance and profitability measurement of its major business activities: Development, Energy Sales and Services activities

• Improved performance through efficiency and optimisation
• Implementing a cost optimisation plan expected to deliver an additional recurring cash savings of around 10 million euros per year² from 2026 onwards
• Prioritising mature, high-potential projects in the development pipeline, with accelerated delivery
• Strengthening construction management process
• Enhancing performance of operating assets through systematic optimisation and data-driven asset management

• Enhanced profitability and value creation
• Self-financing our future growth with the objective of adding 300-400 MW annually through internal cash generation
• Improving EBITDA margins across both Energy Sales to reach a range of 70%-72% and Services activities a range of 9%-11% by 2030
• Strengthening the debt to EBITDA ratio (Net debt to EBITDA ratio between 7.5x to 8.0x by 2030) - Debt optimisation to reinforce the balance sheet
• Targeting positive net income from 2026 onwards

Implementation has already begun, creating sustainable conditions for profitable growth, and strengthening Voltalia's position as a key leader of the energy transition. The financial impacts of SPRING are summarized in Appendix.
