Revenue recognised in income statement² with costs of production recognised in cost of sales
Project team and ongoing direct construction costs will continue to be capitalised
Ramp-up of production levels to full design capacity is expected 12 months after first production

1. C1 unit cost represents all costs allocated to cost of production, and no normalization of production levels.
2. Revenue will be recognised in line with the IAS 16 amendment published in May 2020, which states that revenues generated (from first production date) by an asset in construction must be recognized in the income statement as revenue,
along with the related cost of production.
