Forecast for 2023 Fiscal Year Amended

Paderborn, November 14, 2023 - The Management Board of Voltabox AG
("Voltabox" or the "Company"; ISIN DE000A2E4LE9) has adjusted the published
forecast for Group revenue and EBITDA (earnings before interest, tax,
depreciation and amortization) for the 2023 fiscal year as a result of a
compensation payment from a historical customer relationship and in view of
the continuing price erosion in the market for photovoltaic modules. The
Management Board withdraws its original forecast of Group revenue of EUR 12.8
million and now expects the Group to generate revenue of approximately EUR 11
million for the full year. The expected unadjusted EBITDA, which had been
forecast to break even, is now expected to be approximately EUR -1.0 million
and the EBITDA margin, which had previously been forecast to be 0%, is now
expected to be approximately -9.0%. EBITDA adjusted for the extraordinary
one-time effect of the compensation payment would amount to approximately EUR
-0.6 million, corresponding to an EBITDA margin of approximately -5.5%.

The compensation payment results from the fact that a former customer
received a commitment from Voltabox AG for the delivery of around 20 battery
systems to equip service vehicles for tunnel construction logistics. Due to
liquidity shortages at Voltabox at the time, the company was subsequently
unable to meet the delivery deadline. As part of an out-of-court settlement,
Voltabox has now agreed to pay compensation of EUR400,000. The new Voltabox
organization has since been able to stabilize the customer relationship.

In addition, the current negative price trend and the significantly
intensified competitive situation in the market for photovoltaic modules are
the main reasons for the operating loss and lower than expected revenues. As
a result of the aforementioned circumstances, Voltabox was not able to
realize the expected revenue volumes, in particular in the area of trading
activities with PV modules in the private customer business, as anticipated
at the time of the preparation of the forecast.
