Accrual ratio: 24% This is considered a major risk. Non-cash earnings can arise from many different things. However, if a company consistently has a high level of non-cash earnings, it may be a sign that they are recognizing revenue from customers before the full value of the sales are received as cash or they are not depreciating the value of their assets appropriately. These are practices that inflate earnings, while not providing a similar increase to cash flows. Companies in some select industries naturally have a high level of non-cash earnings and it is not a major concern. However, in the worst case scenario it can be an early sign of performance manipulation by management. This is currently the only risk that has been identified for the company.공시 • Nov 17Acen Corporation Appoints Ms. Mae Christine L.

Accrual ratio: 20% This is considered a major risk. Non-cash earnings can arise from many different things. However, if a company consistently has a high level of non-cash earnings, it may be a sign that they are recognizing revenue from customers before the full value of the sales are received as cash or they are not depreciating the value of their assets appropriately. These are practices that inflate earnings, while not providing a similar increase to cash flows. Companies in some select industries naturally have a high level of non-cash earnings and it is not a major concern. However, in the worst case scenario it can be an early sign of performance manipulation by management. This is currently the only risk that has been identified for the company.Reported Earnings • Aug 04Second quarter 2023 earnings released: EPS: ₱0.06 (vs ₱0.046 in 2Q 2022)Second quarter 2023 results: EPS: ₱0.06 (up from ₱0.046 in 2Q 2022).

At the recent ground-breaking ceremony, Northern Tablelands MP Adam Marshall, together with the officials from ACEN Australia and ACEN led by its CEO Eric Francia, officially announced the construction of the Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) that will be critical in addressing the intermittency of renewable energy. MP Marshall said the 50MW/one hour BESS is supported by a AUD 12.5 million State Government grant, and will be built alongside the 720 MW New England Solar Farm currently in construction east of Uralla. Combined with the solar farm, the battery storage system will be one of Australia's largest co- located solar and battery energy storage facilities, helping to support a more stable electricity network. The BESS will improve system strength and grid reliability, allowing more low-cost renewable energy to connect to the grid, lowering prices for New South Wales consumers. In March 2022, Ayala group's listed energy platform, ACEN, increased its ownership in UPC\AC Renewables to 80%, with the intent to be at 100% ownership by early 2023. With this acquisition, UPC\AC Renewables has rebranded to ACEN Australia. In addition to the jobs created by the solar farm, the BESS project is expected to generate up to 50 jobs during peak construction. Construction of the first 400MWac /520MWdc stage of the New England Solar project is due to be completed in 2023 and is being built across two solar fields about six kilometres east of Uralla. Once the entire 720 MW project is complete, it will produce around 1,800,000 megawatt hours (MWh) of clean electricity each year - enough to power about 250,000 New South Wales homes.공시 • May 13AC Energy Corporation Appoints Juan Martin L.

New Risk • Nov 30New major risk - Earnings qualityThe company has a high level of non-cash earnings. Accrual ratio: 24% This is considered a major risk. Non-cash earnings can arise from many different things. However, if a company consistently has a high level of non-cash earnings, it may be a sign that they are recognizing revenue from customers before the full value of the sales are received as cash or they are not depreciating the value of their assets appropriately. These are practices that inflate earnings, while not providing a similar increase to cash flows. Companies in some select industries naturally have a high level of non-cash earnings and it is not a major concern. However, in the worst case scenario it can be an early sign of performance manipulation by management. This is currently the only risk that has been identified for the company.

공시 • May 25New South Wales Supports Battery Energy Storage Development of AC Energy Corporation's New England Solar FarmACEN Australia announced the successful commencement of its 50 MW one hour battery that will be connected to its New England Solar Farm in Uralla, New South Wales. At the recent ground-breaking ceremony, Northern Tablelands MP Adam Marshall, together with the officials from ACEN Australia and ACEN led by its CEO Eric Francia, officially announced the construction of the Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) that will be critical in addressing the intermittency of renewable energy. MP Marshall said the 50MW/one hour BESS is supported by a AUD 12.5 million State Government grant, and will be built alongside the 720 MW New England Solar Farm currently in construction east of Uralla. Combined with the solar farm, the battery storage system will be one of Australia's largest co- located solar and battery energy storage facilities, helping to support a more stable electricity network. The BESS will improve system strength and grid reliability, allowing more low-cost renewable energy to connect to the grid, lowering prices for New South Wales consumers. In March 2022, Ayala group's listed energy platform, ACEN, increased its ownership in UPC\AC Renewables to 80%, with the intent to be at 100% ownership by early 2023. With this acquisition, UPC\AC Renewables has rebranded to ACEN Australia. In addition to the jobs created by the solar farm, the BESS project is expected to generate up to 50 jobs during peak construction. Construction of the first 400MWac /520MWdc stage of the New England Solar project is due to be completed in 2023 and is being built across two solar fields about six kilometres east of Uralla. Once the entire 720 MW project is complete, it will produce around 1,800,000 megawatt hours (MWh) of clean electricity each year - enough to power about 250,000 New South Wales homes.
