PRESS RELEASE Etrion Releases First Quarter 2018 Results

May 7, 2018, Geneva, Switzerland – Etrion Corporation (“Etrion” or the “Company”) (TSX: ETX) (OMX: ETX), a solar independent power producer, today released its condensed consolidated interim financial statements and related management’s discussion and analysis (“MD&A”) for the three months ended March 31, 2018.

Etrion Corporation delivered strong project-level results in the first quarter of 2018 from its Japanese assets. Higher installed capacity and electricity production, combined with significant reduction in corporate overhead resulted in a significant increase in revenue and consolidated EBITDA compared to the same period in 2017.

Q1-18 HIGHLIGHTS ▪ Strong performance in Japan with production and revenues up by 9% and 12%, respectively, compared to Q1-17. ▪ Consolidated EBITDA increased significantly in comparison with Q1-17 driven by performance in Japan and corporate overhead reduction. ▪ Construction of the 13.2 megawatt (“MW”) Komatsu solar project in western Japan is 96% complete, on budget, on schedule and expected to be fully operational by the end of the second quarter of 2018. ▪ Acquisition of the Greenfield Tk-2 (Niigata) project lands. ▪ Growth opportunities in Japan remain positive with nearly 400 MW of projects in different stages of development, including a backlog of 190 MW and nearly 200 MW of early stage pipeline. ▪ Sound unrestricted cash position to support the growth of the business. Management Comments Marco A. Northland, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Japan continues to deliver very positive results. Cost cutting measures taken in Q4-17 have delivered significant savings in Q1-18 which, combined with a higher installed capacity compared to the same period last year, resulted in consolidated EBITDA improvements. We have also made significant progress on the development of three key projects in the backlog, with an aggregate net capacity of about 100 MW, targeting to commence construction within the next 12-18 months. We continue to have a solid cash position with sufficient liquidity to fund our backlog projects. I am very excited at the prospects over the next 12 months in the Japanese market and look forward to bringing new projects to financial close. On the operational side, our plants are performing well above plan, demonstrating superior design, technology and operations despite facing a first quarter with one of the heaviest snowfalls in nearly 40 years that caused approximately US$0.2 million of lower revenue. We continue to drive costs down and fine tune the business to better support our growth in Japan.”

Non-IFRS Measures: This press release includes non-IFRS measures not defined under IFRS, specifically EBITDA and Adjusted operating cash flow. Non-IFRS measures have no standardized meaning prescribed under IFRS and therefore such measures may not be comparable with those used by other companies. EBITDA is a useful metric to quantify the Company’s ability to generate cash before extraordinary and non-cash accounting transactions recognized in the financial statements. In addition, EBITDA is useful to analyze and compare profitability between companies and industries because it eliminates the effects of financing and accounting policy decisions. The most comparable IFRS measure to EBITDA is net income (loss). In addition, adjusted operating cash flow is used by investors to compare cash flows from operating activities without the effects of certain volatile items that can positively or negatively affect changes in working capital and are viewed as not directly related to a company’s operating performance. The most comparable IFRS measure to adjusted operating cash flow is cash flow used in operations. Refer to Etrion’s MD&A for the three months ended March 31, 2018, for a reconciliation of EBITDA and adjusted operating cash flow reported during the period.

Forward-Looking Information: This press release contains certain “forward-looking information”. All statements, other than statements of historical fact, that address activities, events or developments that the Company believes, expects or anticipates will or may occur in the future (including, without limitation, statements relating to the Company’s projects in Japan under construction and in development) constitute forward-looking information. This forward-looking information reflects the current expectations or beliefs of the Company based on information currently available to the Company as well as certain assumptions including, without limitation, the ability of the Company to execute on its projects in Japan under construction or in development on economic terms and in a timely manner.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS This management’s discussion and analysis (“MD&A”) for Etrion Corporation (“Etrion” or the “Company” and, together with its subsidiaries, the “Group”) is intended to provide an overview of the Group’s operations, financial performance and current and future business opportunities. This MD&A, prepared as of May 4, 2018, should be read in conjunction with the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements and accompanying notes for the three months ended March 31, 2018. Financial information is reported in United States dollars (“$” or “USD”) and in Euros (“€”) because the Company’s outstanding corporate bonds are denominated in that currency. In addition, certain material financial information has also been reported in (“¥”) because the Company has its main business activities in Japan. Exchange rates for the relevant currencies of the Group with respect to the $ and the ¥ are as follows: €/¥ $/¥ €/$ Closing rate at March 31, 2018 130.86 106.19 1.2321 Closing rate at March 31, 2017 119.54 111.80 1.0691 Three months average rate March 31, 2018 133.13 108.22 1.2295 Three months average rate March 31, 2017 121.08 113.63 1.0647 NON-IFRS FINANCIAL MEASURES AND FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

The terms “adjusted net income (loss)”, “earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization” (“EBITDA”), “Adjusted EBITDA”, “solar segments EBITDA” and “adjusted operating cash flow”, used throughout this MD&A, are non-IFRS measures and therefore do not have standardized meanings prescribed by IFRS and may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by other companies. The basis for calculation has not changed and has been applied consistently by the Company over all periods presented. Adjusted net income (loss) is a useful metric to quantify the Company’s ability to generate cash before extraordinary and non-cash accounting transactions recognized in the financial statements (the most comparable IFRS measure is net income (loss) as reconciled on page 10). EBITDA, including solar segments EBITDA, is useful to analyze and compare profitability between companies and industries because it eliminates the effects of financing and certain accounting policy decisions, while Adjusted EBITDA is also useful because it excludes expenses that are expected to be non-recurring (the most comparable IFRS measures for both EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA is net income (loss) as reconciled on page 11). In addition, adjusted operating cash flow is used by investors to compare cash flows from operating activities without the effects of certain volatile items that can positively or negatively affect changes in working capital and are viewed as not directly related to a company’s operating performance (the most comparable IFRS measure is cash flow used in operations as reconciled on page 10). This MD&A contains forward-looking information based on the Company’s current expectations, estimates, projections and assumptions. This information is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the Company’s control. Users of this information are cautioned that actual results may differ materially from the information contained herein. For information on material risk factors and assumptions underlying the forward-looking information, refer to the “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information” on page 21.

In Komatsu addition, Management believes they can reach Notice to Proceed (“NTP”) status within the next 24 months. NTP is generally reached when all permits, authorizations and land have been secured and also the interconnection agreements have been signed. Also at NTP, financing is in place and the company can give the EPC contractor notice to begin building the project. As explained further below, any project under development remains with a high degree of risk which may result in (a) delays to commence construction, (b) changes in the economics, (c) changes in capacity or (d) abandonment of the project. Changes (if any) to previously disclosed project size and details are due to optimizations during the development process. Final size and economics are only confirmed when financial close is reached. The Company classifies projects as Brownfield or Greenfield. Brownfield are projects originally developed by a third party, still in the development stage, with respect to which the Company has secured certain rights.

SOLAR MARKET OVERVIEW JAPANESE MARKET The market for sources, including solar, Japan is the world’s third largest energy consumer and today is biomass, wind, hydro and bio fuels, is driven by a variety of among the top five largest solar markets in the world. The use factors, such as legislative and policy support, technology, of solar power in Japan has accelerated since the Japanese FiT macroeconomic conditions, pricing and environmental scheme for renewable energy was introduced in July 2012 to concerns. The overall goal for the market is to help offset the loss of nuclear power caused by the Fukushima reach grid parity, whereby the price of solar energy is disaster. This in turn led to most of the nation's 52 reactors competitive with traditional sources of electricity, such as coal being idled due to safety concerns. While current renewable and natural gas. Solar technology cost has dropped energy usage remains low (currently 15% of total primary dramatically and continues to decrease. In addition, solar energy), Japan is planning to accelerate further renewable energy has reached grid parity in certain parts of the world . By the end of 2019, Japan is projected to where solar irradiation and electricity prices are high. As the have more than 52 GW of solar capacity. cost of solar technology continues to decrease, new potential On January 22, 2015, the METI officially announced new rules markets are expected to develop in areas where solar with respect to the FiT regime. The rules apply to new projects electricity is price-competitive with other sources of energy. and were designed to streamline the process between Solar power plants are an important source of renewable developers, METI and utilities. Projects with accepted existing energy. They have very low operating and maintenance costs grid connection are not affected. METI’s main objective in with minimal moving parts. The technology is essentially silent, announcing new rules was to address the increasing emission-free and scalable to meet multiple distributed power speculation from developers that have been applying for the requirements. Energy generated from the sun consists of both FiT but not realizing projects, and at the same time to unblock energy from PV cells and energy generated from solar the grid assessment applications that were put on hold by some collectors (i.e., thermal energy or heat). of the utilities facing overloaded capacity. The key drivers for growth within the renewable energy sector The Act to amend the Act on Special Measures Concerning are: Procurement of Electricity from Renewable Energy Sources by Electricity Utilities (the "FIT Amendment Act") was ▪ Increasing global demand for energy due to population and promulgated on June 3, 2016.

Uncompensated curtailment up to 30 days, annually based on one‐day units, will be changed to up to 360 hours annually. The hourly basis for curtailment expands the amount available for interconnection. Furthermore, utilities may impose installation of remote curtailment systems on PV plants.

Solar Japan: During Q1-18, the Group’s Japanese solar segment generated revenues of $2.9 million and EBITDA of $1.7 million, representing an increase of 9% and a decrease of 12%, respectively, in comparison with the same period in 2017. Revenue increased driven by the additional production from the Misawa solar project and excellent performance of the Mito solar project. EBITDA decreased mainly due to the contractually agreed additional O&M expenses and the recognition of property taxes. In addition, the Group’s Japanese segment generated a net loss of $0.9 million, in comparison with the net income results of $36,000 for the same period in 2017. The first quarter of the year is typically one with lower irradiation due to the winter season in the northern hemisphere. Corporate: During Q1-18, the Group’s corporate segment generated negative EBITDA of $1.1 million and a net loss of $2.9 million, respectively. In comparison with the same period in 2017, negative EBITDA decreased primarily as a result of cost reduction initiatives implemented in the last quarter of 2017 to streamline operations resulting in a material reduction of General and Administrative expenses. Solar Chile: Income and expenses are included only in the Group’s consolidated financial statements until September 30, 2017, the date when the Group ceased to control the Chilean subsidiary, in accordance with the control reassessment completed by management under the IFRS guidelines.
