2024 HIGHLIGHTS

Innovative geothermal energy offering: significant advances

   -- Geothermal energy: an unprecedented strategic opportunity 

In the current geopolitical context, geothermal energy is asserting itself as a sovereign and competitive energy source. It offers manufacturers and local authorities a solution to secure local supply, thereby reducing dependence on imports and exposure to gas prices volatility.

The French Energy and Climate Strategy (SFEC) has set an ambitious target: to increase geothermal production more than fourfold by 2035, reaching 28 TWh(4) .

   -- Roissy Charles de Gaulle adopts geothermal energy with Arverne Group: a 
      major energy transition 

At the end of 2024, Arverne Group participated in the installation of the geothermal infrastructure at Roissy Charles de Gaulle airport for Groupe ADP, representing a major step forward in the airport's decarbonisation. With an annual production of up to 80 GWh, this installation will avoid the emission of 19,000 tonnes of CO .

Completed in just three months, this deep geothermal energy project was carried out on time and on schedule, contributing significantly to the growth in business volume in 2024.

   -- Success of the integrated geothermal heat offering: first contract signed 
      and target maintained for initial production in 2026 

The teams have designed an innovative and unique offering for the French market, significantly reducing the time between the design and commissioning of geothermal heat production projects. Arverne Group offers an integrated service solution, including geoscience and financing studies, drilling operations and geothermal power plants.

The strategy launched in 2024, focused on the Île-de-France region, has quickly delivered results. In early 2025, Arverne Group signed an initial contract for the design, drilling and operation of a low-carbon heat network powered by geothermal energy. Developed in partnership with Dalkia and Île-de-France Énergies & Territoires, this project will benefit the cities of Clichy-sous-Bois and Livry-Gargan. Among the top 5 geothermal heat networks in Île de France, with a production capacity of 115 GWh, this project will reduce household energy bills by 50% over the entire concession period (30 years).

With a portfolio of projects under review totalling over 60 power plants and 3.5 TWh of potential production, Arverne Group is accelerating its development through an agile model and a selection of strategic partners. The Group confirms its objective of initial geothermal heat production in 2026.

Cutting-edge geothermal heat and lithium project in Alsace: economic viability confirmed

   -- Strong demand for lithium expected in the face of insufficient supply 

Electrification of transport: a key lever for achieving a 90% reduction in GHG emissions in Europe by 2040(5) .

The energy transition is leading to increased demand for critical materials, including lithium, which is essential for electric batteries and energy storage. By 2030, global lithium demand is expected to increase by 142% to 2.6 Mt of lithium equivalent carbonate $(LCE.AU)$, while supply could become insufficient by 2026. Lithium prices could recover as early as the second half of 2025(6) .

   -- Validated pre-feasibility study (PFS): a key step towards 
      industrialisation 

Arverne Group and its subsidiary Lithium de France have taken a key step towards the industrialisation of the geothermal heat and lithium project, by successfully completing the pre-feasibility study (PFS). The results have reinforced the initial assumptions and confirmed key parameters ensuring the feasibility of the project.

The identified operational costs (Opex) position the project in the first quartile of global lithium producers, ensuring its viability and competitiveness.

As a result of this study, Arverne Group has announced technical and strategic decisions and updated the project's key financial assumptions.

   -- Target production: 27,000 t/year of battery-grade lithium carbonate $(LC)$ 
      by 2031; 
 
   -- Lower lithium production costs: estimated at less than EUR4,500/t of LC 
      (vs. EUR5,000/t of LHM, pre-PFS results), positioning the project in the 
      top quartile of the cost curve by cash costs; 
 
   -- Better process efficiency: lithium recovery rate of 91% (vs 80/85% 
      pre-PFS results); 
 
   -- Investment and production: total gross capex (excluding subsidies) 
      adjusted to EUR1.8bn - EUR1.9bn (including 15% contingency); 
 
   -- Choice of product: decision to produce lithium carbonate (LC), a product 
      more suited to the goals of the energy transition in terms of electric 
      mobility; 
 
   -- Choice of extraction technology: extraction technology (DLE) by 
      "adsorption", with the aim of confirming its performance through a 
      demonstrator in 2025. 

Arverne Group strengthens its operational capabilities to support its growth

To support its rapid expansion and industrial ambitions, Arverne Group significantly strengthened its operational capabilities in 2024:

   -- Expanding 3D exploration footprint by conducting three 3D data 
      exploration campaigns, including two in Alsace and a first in 
      Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, a high-potential yet under-explored geothermal 
      region. These campaigns aim to accurately map geological structures to 
      identify underground geothermal water reservoirs. As a result of these 
      efforts, the total area of 3D imaging data has reached 410 km(2), 
      positioning Arverne Group as the largest owner of 3D mapped surface area 
      in the country. 
 
   -- Enhancing lithium exploration by securing a new lithium permit in Alsace 
      and filed two new PER (Exclusive Exploration Permit, licence) 
      applications, further strengthening its position in subsurface resource 
      exploration. 
 
   -- Reinforcing drilling capabilities with a B18 rig, developed with its 
      strategic partner Herrenknecht, renowned for the quality of its drilling 
      machines. This compact and innovative rig maximises drilling performance 
      in urban environments, reduces noise pollution and incorporates an 
      optimised energy recovery system. 
 
   -- Submitting a new drilling permit application, thereby validating all the 
      objectives set for 2024.

The financial structure remains solid following the successful IPO in September 2023.

Financial debts increased owing to the investment in a new drilling rig, financed by lease, and the injection of EUR4.4m into a current account by Herrenknecht, at the time of the establishment of the new subsidiary DrillDeep.(9)

In addition, the Ratchet B warrant derivatives on Lithium de France were revalued, reducing liabilities by EUR4.2m, while other current liabilities increased due to ongoing operations as of December 31, 2024 (trade payables and liabilities on fixed assets).

The Group's net cash position is in surplus and stood at EUR85.6m as of December 31, 2024.

2024 non-financial results

In 2024, Arverne Group achieved all its objectives as a Mission-Driven Company, thereby confirming its societal and environmental commitments. This progress is outlined in the 2024 mission report, available on the Group's website.

The key achievements include:

   -- first full carbon assessment, 
 
   -- methodology for measuring avoided CO emissions, 
 
   -- 100% of employees trained in the code of conduct, 
 
   -- multiple initiatives in support of the regions in which the Group 
      operates. 

An independent audit validated compliance with the environmental and social objectives set, consistent with the Group's purpose.

2025 OUTLOOK

Acceleration and strategic deployment of Arverne Group projects in 2025

   -- Continued strong growth in gross business volume10, expected to be 
      between EUR25m and EUR30m, a +45% increase to 75% compared to 2024. This 
      growth will be driven in particular by the completion of operations on a 
      geothermal doublet11 for Safran Aircraft Engines at the end of the year. 
      This major project, delivered in partnership with Dalkia, includes the 
      design, construction and maintenance of the future geothermal power plant 
      in Villaroche. 
 
   -- Deployment of an investment programme of around EUR50m for the first 
      geothermal heat production, including the launch of the pre-industrial 
      phase. 
 
   -- Launch of the pre-industrial phase of the geothermal heat and lithium 
      project in Alsace, for a period of 12 to 18 months, including in 
      particular the definitive feasibility study $(DFS.UK)$ and the operations of 
      the first geothermal doublet. 
 
   -- Signing of contracts for the first geothermal heat production in 2026. 
      Following a first contract signed for the cities of Clichy-sous-Bois and 
      Livry-Gargan in early 2025, other signatures are planned throughout the 
      year, supported by a solid project portfolio and a strong commercial 
      strategy. 
 
   -- Strengthening of Mission-Driven Company commitments, supporting 
      responsible and sustainable development. 

Arverne Group outlines the stages of the low-carbon geothermal heat and lithium project in Alsace:

   -- Pre-industrial phase: starting in 2025, with an expected duration of 12 
      to 18 months 

Arverne Group, with its subsidiary Lithium de France, is launching the pre-industrial phase incorporating: the definitive feasibility study or DFS(12) , the first drilling operations (first doublet), the installation and commissioning of a DLE(13) technology demonstrator and the bankable feasibility study or BFS(14) .

   -- DFS: building on the analysis of the PFS results15, the DFS work was 
      launched in early 2025, with an estimated duration of 12 to 18 months. 
 
   -- First drilling operations: scheduled for the second half of 2025 (first 
      doublet), subject to obtaining prefectural authorisation. 
 
   -- DLE demonstrator: after the laboratory study phase with Equinor in Norway, 
      a lithium extractor demonstrator will be installed on the first doublet 
      in Alsace. The first doublet and the DLE demonstrator aim in particular 
      to confirm lithium resources and produce the first low-carbon lithium 
      salts, battery-grade LCE. 
 
   -- BFS: in parallel with the operational steps, the bankable feasibility 
      study $(BFS)$ will be conducted under a co-mandate with Macquarie Capital 
      and Crédit Agricole Corporate & Investment Bank. 

This pre-industrial phase represents a self-financed investment of around EUR50m and constitutes a preliminary stage for the launch of the industrial phase with Phase 1.

   -- Industrial phase -- Phase 1: towards the first production of geothermal 
      heat and lithium in Alsace 

Phase 1 targets the first production of geothermal heat in 2027 and the first production of geothermal lithium in 2028.
