Increases in non-cash assets and liabilities are eliminated. Consequently, assets financed through finance leases are not included in investments for the period. The decrease in financial liabilities relating to finance leases is included in loan repayments for the period.
Advances and down payments on fixed assets and the change in payables to suppliers of fixed assets are recognised under net cash used in investing activities, as they mainly concern Wagabox© units.
Cost of net debt (excluding accrued interest) is now presented separately in net cash from financing activities. At 31 December 2022, it was presented on the same line as repayment of borrowings and amounted to €1,638 thousand.
The Sofiwaga subsidiary distributed €1,100,000 in dividends, including €561,000 to non-controlling shareholders.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Description of the Group and its business activities
Waga Energy is a public limited company (société anonyme) with a Board of Directors, registered and domiciled in France (hereinafter referred to as "the Company").
Its registered office is located at 5 avenue Raymond Chanas, 38320 Eybens, France. The consolidated financial statements of Waga Energy include those of the Company and the subsidiaries it controls (collectively referred to as "the Group"). The consolidation scope is presented in Note 5.2.
Formed in 2015 and located in Grenoble, the Waga Energy Group is the European leader in the production of biomethane from landfill gas. The Group has developed a breakthrough technology that purifies biogas from landfills to transform it into biomethane, which is then injected into gas grids as a replacement for natural gas of fossil origin.
Waga Energy is strongly committed to the energy transition.
Its mission is to provide an immediate solution to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by providing abundant green, renewable, readily available energy.
Wagabox® units are small refineries or gas plants installed in landfills. They are classified under French regulations on environmental protection (ICPE).
The unique technology combining membrane filtration and cryogenic distillation is protected by several patents.
Waga Energy SA's financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2023, prepared in accordance with the IFRS, were approved by the Board of Directors on 26 April 2024.
2. Basis of preparation

All the IFRS adopted by the European Union are available for viewing on the European Commission's website at the following address: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/reg/2008/1126/2016-01-01.
2.2 Changes in accounting standards

Annual Report - 31 December 2023
- Amendments to IAS 8 - Definition of Accounting Estimates (effective for financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2023)
- IFRS 17 - Insurance Contracts (effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023).
The following new standards, amendments and interpretations have been issued but were not mandatory for the Group at 31 December 2023:
- Amendments to IAS 1 - Presentation of Financial Statements: Classifying Liabilities as Current or Non- current (effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2024 (a proposal to change this to a later date is currently underway) - subject to approval by the EU)
- Amendments to IAS 7 and IFRS 17 - Supplier Finance Arrangements (effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2024, subject to EU approval)
- Amendments to IFRS 16 - Lease Liability in a Sale and Leaseback (effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2024)
- Amendments to IAS 21 - Lack of Exchangeability (effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2025, subject to EU approval).
The Company does not expect the new standards to have a significant impact on the financial statements.
2.3 Use of estimates and judgments
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires Management to use judgments and accounting estimates, which affect the Company's accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and income and expense items.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are regularly reviewed to ensure they are reasonable based on the Company's past performance. Estimates may be adjusted if the circumstances on which they are based change or if new information comes to light. Actual values may differ from estimates due to changes in assumptions and economic circumstances. The effect of changes in estimates is recognised prospectively. Consequently, the actual amounts reported in the Group's future financial statements may differ from current estimates.
2.3.1 Judgments
Information on the judgments made in applying accounting policies, which have the most significant effects on the amounts recognised in the financial statements, is included in the following notes:
- Determining the costs that may be included when measuring property, plant and equipment in accordance with IAS 16 "Property, Plant and Equipment" (Note 7.2),
- Assessing control over subsidiaries (Note 5.2) and Wagabox® units sold to subsidiaries,
- Determining revenue flows and whether an entity is acting as an agent or principal in accordance with IFRS 15 (Note 8.1),
- Measuring the recoverable amount of Wagabox® units and estimating their useful life (Note 7.3),
- Determining stage of completion, revenue and losses at completion for onerous contracts, using the stage of completion method for equipment sales (Notes 8.1 and 7.13).

Annual Report - 31 December 2023
2.3.2 Assumptions and estimation uncertainties
Information on assumptions and estimation uncertainties at the reporting date that have a significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment in the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for the year ended 31 December 2023 is included in the following notes:
- Measuring the fair value of founders' share warrants (BSPCE) (Notes 7.12.2 and 8.6): The fair value of share-based payments is determined using the Black & Scholes option pricing model, which factors in assumptions on complex and subjective variables. The variables include share price, expected volatility of share price over the life of the instrument and the current and future behaviour of the holders of the instruments.
- With regard to convertible bonds, estimates are made to:
- Determine the fair value of conversion options (Note 7.14);
- Determine the effective interest rate (EIR) of the debt component of conversion options, taking into account the most probable time horizon for conversion into shares or redemption (Note 7.14).
- Measuring interest rate swaps used to manage exposure to interest rate risk (Note 9.2).
- Measuring provisions, including for retirement benefits and site dismantlement (Note 7.13).
- Determining the discount rate and lease term when assessing lease liabilities in accordance with IFRS 16 "Leases" (Note 7.2).
- Measuring provisions for the impairment of trade receivables in accordance with IFRS 9 (Note 7.8).
- Assessing whether to capitalise deferred tax assets (Note 7.5).
Actual values may differ from estimates due to changes in assumptions and economic circumstances.
These estimates may be adjusted if the circumstances on which they are based change or if new information comes to light.
2.4 Basis of measurement
The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for derivative financial instruments and plan assets which are measured at fair value.
The financial statements of Waga Energy SA for the year ended 31 December 2023 have been prepared on a going concern basis for a minimum period of twelve months from the date of the financial statements in line with the net cash position currently available and the growth prospects reflected in the product business plan (Note 3.3).
2.5 Functional and presentation currency
The financial statements are presented in euros, which is the Company's functional currency. All amounts have been rounded to the nearest thousand, unless otherwise indicated.
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into euros at the exchange rates effective at the transaction dates. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into euros at the exchange rate effective at the reporting date.
Foreign currency translation gains or losses are recognized in the income statement, except for amounts that can be considered net investments in a foreign operation as defined by IAS 21, for which foreign exchange gains and losses are recognized in other comprehensive income.
