Production in the renewable energy portfolio increased by 5.5% for the first nine months of 2023 compared with the first nine months of 2022 mainly due to the increase in production in our solar assets in Spain, where solar radiation was higher, and to the contribution from the recently consolidated assets and those that have entered into operation recently. Production also increased in our U.S. solar assets mainly due to higher availability of Solana. On the other hand, production in our wind assets in the U.S. decreased due to lower wind resource in the first nine months of 2023. Production also decreased in Kaxu due to a scheduled major turbine overhaul which took longer than expected and a subsequent unscheduled outage. We expect a portion of the damage and losses from the business interruption to be covered by our insurance.

In our efficient natural gas and heat segment availability decreased mostly due to a scheduled major overhaul, which did not impact revenue. In our transmission lines and water segments, where revenue is based on availability, we maintained very high availability levels.

Dividend        

On November 8, 2023, the Board of Directors of Atlantica approved a dividend of $0.445 per share. This dividend is expected to be paid on December 15, 2023 to shareholders of record as of November 30, 2023.

Two PPAs Signed with an Investment Grade Utility

In October 2023, Atlantica entered into two 15-year PPAs with an investment grade utility for Coso Batteries 1 and Coso Batteries 2. Each of the contracts is a tolling agreement under which the assets will receive fixed monthly payments adjusted by the financial settlement of CAISO’s Day-Ahead market.

Coso Batteries 2 is our second battery storage project co-located with our geothermal asset in California. It is a standalone battery storage project of 80 MWh (4 hours) capacity which is currently under advanced development. Our investment is expected to be in the range of $35 to $45 million, with COD expected in 2025. We expect the asset to benefit from synergies with Coso Batteries 1 and the geothermal plant.

Flexible Investment Plan

Atlantica is proactively managing its investments. The Company has committed or earmarked between $100 and $120 million for the year 2023. For the year 2024, Atlantica has already committed or earmarked investments between $150 and $180 million in development and construction.

Additionally, our partner in Monterrey initiated a process to sell its 70% stake in the asset. Such process is well advanced and, as part of it, we intend to sell our interest as well under the same terms. The net proceeds to Atlantica are expected to be in the range of $46 to $53 million, after tax. The transaction is subject to certain conditions precedent and final transaction closing.

Liquidity and Debt

As of September 30, 2023, cash at Atlantica’s corporate level was $48.0 million, compared with $60.8 million as of December 31, 2022. Additionally, as of September 30, 2023, the Company had $393.1 million available under its Revolving Credit Facility and therefore a total corporate liquidity of $441.1 million, compared with $445.9 million as of December 31, 2022.

As of September 30, 2023, net project debt7 was $3.9 billion, which remained stable compared with $4.0 billion as of December 31, 2022, while net corporate debt8 was $998.6 million, compared with $956.4 million as of December 31, 2022. As of September 30, 2023, the net corporate debt / CAFD before corporate debt service ratio9 was 3.4x.

Prudent Financing Strategy

Atlantica has always maintained a prudent financing strategy. Project debt financing continues to be a key principle for the Company. As of September 30, 2023 more than 80% of Atlantica’s consolidated debt was non-recourse self-amortizing project debt in ring-fenced subsidiaries.

  • Project debt is fully repaid progressively before the end of the PPA or the regulatory period10.
  • Atlantica does not have complex financing structures. The Company has no partnerships where the partner has preferred distribution rights.
  • BB+ Rating by S&P and Fitch.

In addition, Atlantica has a limited exposure to interest rate risk:

  • As of September 30, 2023, 96% of the Company’s corporate debt and 92% of its project debt has either fixed rates or is hedged.
  • Project debt has fixed rates or is hedged for the life of the project finance.
  • The first sizeable corporate debt maturity is in 2025 for $113 million, excluding $40 million which correspond to the RCF.

2023 Guidance

Atlantica continues to expect closing the year 2023 with CAFD in the lower end of the guidance provided in March 2023, which is between $235 million and $260 million.

The Company expects to achieve an Adjusted EBITDA modestly below the low end of its guidance, which was $790 million, mainly due to the outage at Kaxu, where Atlantica owns a 51% equity stake, and other factors including lower wind resource in the US.

Except as required by law, we do not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect anticipated or unanticipated events or circumstances.

Investors should read the section entitled “Item 3.D—Risk Factors” and the description of our segments and business sectors in the section entitled “Item 4.B.

Atlantica disclaims any current intention to update such guidance, except as required by law.   

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release also includes certain non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted EBITDA, CAFD and CAFD per share. Non-GAAP financial measures are not measurements of our performance or liquidity under IFRS as issued by IASB and should not be considered alternatives to operating profit or profit for the period or net cash provided by operating activities or any other performance measures derived in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB or any other generally accepted accounting principles or as alternatives to cash flow from operating, investing or financing activities. Please refer to the appendix of this press release for a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures included in this press release to the most directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with IFRS. Also, please refer to the following paragraphs in this section for an explanation of the reasons why management believes the use of non-GAAP financial measures (including CAFD, CAFD per share and Adjusted EBITDA) in this press release provides useful information to investors.

We present non-GAAP financial measures because we believe that they and other similar measures are widely used by certain investors, securities analysts and other interested parties as supplemental measures of performance and liquidity. The non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures employed by other companies and may have limitations as analytical tools. These measures may not be fit for isolated consideration or as a substitute for analysis of our operating results as reported under IFRS as issued by the IASB. Non-GAAP financial measures and ratios are not measurements of our performance or liquidity under IFRS as issued by the IASB. Thus, they should not be considered as alternatives to operating profit, profit for the period, any other performance measures derived in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB, any other generally accepted accounting principles or as alternatives to cash flow from operating, investing or financing activities. Some of the limitations of these non-GAAP measures are:

  • they do not reflect our cash expenditures, future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
  • they do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;
  • they may not reflect the significant interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary, to service interest or principal payments, on our debts;
  • although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often need to be replaced in the future and Adjusted EBITDA, CAFD and CAFD per share do not reflect any cash requirements that would be required for such replacements;
  • some of the exceptional items that we eliminate in calculating Adjusted EBITDA reflect cash payments that were made, or will be made in the future; and
  • the fact that other companies in our industry may calculate Adjusted EBITDA, CAFD and CAFD per share differently than we do, which limits their usefulness as comparative measures.

We define Adjusted EBITDA as profit/(loss) for the period attributable to the Company, after previously adding back loss/(profit) attributable to non-controlling interest, income tax, financial expense (net), depreciation, amortization and impairment charges of entities included in the consolidated financial statements and including depreciation and amortization, financial expense and income tax expense of unconsolidated affiliates (pro rata of our equity ownership). CAFD is calculated as cash distributions received by the Company from its subsidiaries minus cash expenses of the Company, including debt service and general and administrative expenses. CAFD per share is calculated as CAFD divided by the weighted average number of outstanding ordinary shares of the Company during the period (116,149,149 for the nine-months ended on September 30, 2023, and 114,236,482 for September 30, 2022).

Our management believes Adjusted EBITDA, CAFD and CAFD per share are useful to investors and other users of our financial statements in evaluating our operating performance because it provides them with an additional tool to compare business performance across companies and across periods. Adjusted EBITDA is widely used by investors to measure a company’s operating performance without regard to items such as interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization, which can vary substantially from company to company depending upon accounting methods and book value of assets, capital structure and the method by which assets were acquired.

Our management believes CAFD and CAFD per share are relevant supplemental measurements of the Company’s ability to earn and distribute cash returns to investors and are useful to investors in evaluating our operating performance because securities analysts and other interested parties use such calculations as a measure of our ability to make quarterly distributions. In addition, CAFD and CAFD per share are used by our management team for determining future acquisitions and managing our growth. Adjusted EBITDA, CAFD and CAFD per share are widely used by other companies in the same industry.

Our management uses Adjusted EBITDA, CAFD and CAFD per share as measures of operating performance to assist in comparing performance from period to period on a consistent basis moving forward. They also readily view operating trends as a measure for planning and forecasting overall expectations, for evaluating actual results against such expectations, and for communicating with our board of directors, shareholders, creditors, analysts and investors concerning our financial performance.

In our discussion of operating results, we have included foreign exchange impacts in our revenue and Adjusted EBITDA by providing constant currency growth. The constant currency presentation is not a measure recognized under IFRS and excludes the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. We believe providing constant currency information provides valuable supplemental information regarding our results of operations. We calculate constant currency amounts by converting our current period local currency revenue and Adjusted EBITDA using the prior period foreign currency average exchange rates and comparing these adjusted amounts to our prior period reported results. This calculation may differ from similarly titled measures used by others and, accordingly, the constant currency presentation is not meant to substitute for recorded amounts presented in conformity with IFRS as issued by the IASB nor should such amounts be considered in isolation.

Information presented as the pro-rata share of our unconsolidated affiliates reflects our proportionate ownership of each asset in our property portfolio that we do not consolidate and has been calculated by multiplying our unconsolidated affiliates’ financial statement line items by our percentage ownership thereto. Note 7 to our consolidated financial statements as of and for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023 includes a description of our unconsolidated affiliates and our pro rata share thereof. We do not control the unconsolidated affiliates. Multiplying our unconsolidated affiliates’ financial statement line items by our percentage ownership may not accurately represent the legal and economic implications of holding a non-controlling interest in an unconsolidated affiliate. We include pro-rata share of depreciation and amortization, financial expense and income tax expense of unconsolidated affiliates because we believe it assists investors in estimating the effect of such items in the profit/(loss) of associates carried under the equity method (which is included in the calculation of our Adjusted EBITDA) based on our economic interest in such unconsolidated affiliates. Each unconsolidated affiliate may report a specific line item in its financial statements in a different manner. In addition, other companies in our industry may calculate their proportionate interest in unconsolidated affiliates differently than we do, limiting the usefulness of such information as a comparative measure. Because of these limitations, the information presented as the pro-rata share of our unconsolidated affiliates should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for our or such unconsolidated affiliates’ financial statements as reported under applicable accounting principles.

1 Compared to the first nine months of 2022, excluding $4.1 million from the sale of part of our equity interest in our development company in Colombia to a partner in the first quarter of 2023.
2 CAFD per share is calculated by dividing CAFD for the period by the weighted average number of shares for the period.

3 Represents total installed capacity in assets owned or consolidated for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, regardless of our percentage of ownership in each of the assets except for Vento II for which we have included our 49% interest.
4 Includes 49% of Vento II wind portfolio production since its acquisition. Includes curtailment in wind assets for which we receive compensation.
5 Includes 43 MW corresponding to our 30% share in Monterrey and 55MWt corresponding to thermal capacity from Calgary District Heating.
6 GWh produced includes 30% share of the production from Monterrey.
7   Net project debt is calculated as long-term project debt plus short-term project debt minus cash and cash equivalents at the consolidated project level.
8 Net corporate debt is calculated as long-term corporate debt plus short-term corporate debt minus cash and cash equivalents at Atlantica’s corporate level.
9   Net corporate debt / CAFD before corporate debt service ratio is calculated as net corporate debt divided by midpoint 2023 CAFD guidance before corporate debt service. CAFD before corporate debt service is calculated as CAFD plus corporate debt interest paid by Atlantica. If the ratio was calculated using last twelve months CAFD before corporate debt service instead of midpoint 2023 CAFD guidance before corporate debt service, the ratio would be 3.5x.
10 Project debt is fully repaid progressively before the end of PPA or the regulation period. 2 tranches of project debt representing approximately 5% of the total as of September 2023 have mini-perm structures with maturities in 2027 and 2028.

11 “Deposits into/ withdrawals from restricted accounts” and “Change in non-restricted cash at project level” are calculated on a constant currency basis to reflect actual cash movements isolated from the impact of variations generated by foreign exchange changes during the period.
