Q3 2023 Highlights

Aera delivered 0.7 million carbon credits (11 projects) from Jul 1^st to Sep 30. This brings the total volume delivered in 2023 so far to 3.2 million carbon credits compared to a 2022 average for 9 months of 2.6 million carbon credits. A few other issuances are expected by end of the year and all the processes are being monitored closely to ensure timely completion.

Aera closed 7 sales contracts during Q3 2023 for a volume of around 2 million carbon credits despite a difficult market context and general adverse macroeconomic conditions.

Revenue generated during the first nine months of the year remains stable despite a constant fall in prices since last year. Deliveries expected before the end of the year should significantly increase the income level. A portion of revenue has been deferred and will be recognized upon achievement of certain milestones.

Year to date net profit at September 30 stands at € 2.8 million compared to a 2022 average for nine months of € 3.7 million. Carbon credits received but not yet delivered to clients by the end of the third quarter will increase profitability once the sales transactions are finalized.
