The 1Q26 presentation notes that “in April 2026, the US Administration modified how these metal

tariffs were calculated meaning that some components are now tariffed at up to 50% on the full

value” and that “the estimated impact… has not resulted in further impairments in Q1 2026 compared
FY28E EV/EBITDA
to the assumptions used on 31 Dec 2025”. We interpret this as suggesting the carrying value
may already reflect, at least in part, the April 2026 regime, although embedded assumptions
remain unclear. So, we present scenarios: one assuming JEFe of April impact is reflected, and
a downside case in which it isn't (we estimate that the April framework is equivalent to ~27%
tariff impact on turbines, see overleaf for calculations).
Showing a broad range of scenarios. It is also unclear what incremental tariffs could be
