August 3, 2020 – Atlantica Sustainable Infrastructure plc (NASDAQ: AY) (“Atlantica” or “the Company”), the sustainable infrastructure company that owns a diversified portfolio of contracted assets in the energy and environment sectors, reported today its financial results for the six-month period ended June 30, 2020.

To date, Atlantica has not experienced any significant disruptions in availability or production due to COVID-19. The Company has continued monitoring COVID-19 situation closely and is adapting its safety measures and protocols to the specific situation in each asset and office. Atlantica continues to provide reliable service to its clients, always keeping health and safety as its top priority.       

Revenue for the six-month period ended June 30, 2020 was $465.7 million, a 7.7% decrease versus the same period in 2019. On a constant currency basis4, revenue for the six-month period ended June 30, 2020 decreased by 6.1% compared to the six-month period ended June 30, 2019. Adjusted EBITDA including unconsolidated affiliates was $380.1 million in the first half of 2020, representing a 7.4% decrease year-over-year. On a constant currency basis, Adjusted EBITDA including unconsolidated affiliates for the first half of 2020 decreased by 5.5% compared to the first half of 2019. The decrease in revenue and Adjusted EBITDA including unconsolidated affiliates was mostly due to lower solar resource in EMEA and lower production in Kaxu caused by the unscheduled outage discussed last quarter.

CAFD generation in the first six months of 2020 was $97.3 million, a 2.9% increase compared with $94.5 million in the first half of 2019.

Additionally, in the second quarter of 2020 the Company generated $143 million of one-off cash, net of transaction costs and reserves, through a non-recourse project debt refinancing. The Green Project Finance was entered into by a subsidiary-holding company of certain Atlantica’s solar assets in Spain. It was issued in compliance with the 2018 Green Loan Principles and has a Second Party Opinion delivered by Sustainalytics.

During the first half of 2020, Atlantica’s renewable assets operating performance was as follows:

  • Production in the U.S. solar portfolio in the first half of 2020 was a 1.8% higher than in the same period of the previous year.
  • Production in Spain decreased mainly due to significantly lower solar radiation than in the same period of the previous year.
  • In South Africa, production decreased mainly due to an unscheduled outage due to a fire in the first quarter that affected electrical equipment. After repairs, production is now at or close to capacity. Damage and business interruption costs were covered by insurance, after customary deductibles.
  • Finally, production of our wind assets increased by 9.6% due to good wind resource and stable performance of the assets.

Atlantica’s assets with revenue based on availability continue to deliver solid performance with high availability levels in ACT and Monterrey, transmission lines and water assets.

Liquidity and Debt

As of June 30, 2020, cash at the Atlantica’s corporate level was $278.7 million, compared to $66.0 million as of December 31, 2019. Additionally, as of June 30, 2020, we had approximately $251.0 million available under our Revolving Credit Facility and therefore a total corporate liquidity of $529.7 million, compared to $407.0 million as of December 31, 2019.

As of June 30, 2020, net project debt was $4,497.5 million, compared with $4,355.6 million as of December 31, 2019, while net corporate debt was $558.3 million, compared with $657.8 million as of December 31, 2019. The net corporate debt / CAFD pre-corporate debt service ratio11 was 2.3x as of June 30, 2020.

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. 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.

CAFD pre-corporate debt service is calculated as CAFD plus interest paid by Atlantica.

Dividend

On July 31, 2020, the Board of Directors of Atlantica approved a dividend of $0.42 per share. This dividend is expected to be paid on September 15, 2020 to shareholders of record as of August 31, 2020.

Strategic and Corporate Update

Since the beginning of 2020, Atlantica has successfully closed new financings representing total proceeds of $489 million which are expected to finance growth.

$216 million were generated from non-recourse project debt financings and refinancings, allowing the Company to continue executing on its accretive growth strategy without impacting corporate debt metrics:

  • In April 2020, Atlantica entered into the Green Project Finance that resulted in a net recap for Atlantica of $143 million. The Green Project Finance was issued in compliance with the 2018 Green Loan Principles and has a Second Party Opinion delivered by Sustainalytics.
  • In July 2020, Atlantica entered into a non-recourse project debt refinancing of Helioenergy, one of the solar assets in Spain, by adding a new tranche of debt from an institutional investor, with a 15-year maturity. After transaction costs, net refinancing proceeds (net “recap”) were approximately $43 million.
  • Also in July 2020, Atlantica entered into a non-recourse project debt financing for approximately €326 million in Helios. The new debt has been used to repay the previous bank project debt with approximately €250 million outstanding and has canceled legacy interest rate swaps. With this refinancing, Atlantica is achieving an improvement in cost (1.9% per annum versus approximately 4.2% in the previous financing) and tenor (17-year maturity versus 7 year in the previous financing). After transaction costs and cancelation of legacy swaps, net refinancing proceeds (net “recap”) were approximately $30 million.

Additionally, the Company entered into two corporate debt issuances for a total amount of approximately $273 million:

  • On July 17, 2020, Atlantica issued $100 million Green Exchangeable Notes due 2025. On July 29, 2020, the Company closed an additional $15 million of Green Exchangeable Notes pursuant to the over-allotment option granted to the initial purchasers. The notes mature on July 15, 2025 and bear interest at a rate of 4.00% per annum. The initial exchange price is $34.36 per ordinary share. The Green Exchangeable Notes were issued in compliance with the 2018 Green Bond Principles and have a Second Party Opinion delivered by Sustainalytics.
  • In addition, Atlantica entered into the Note Issuance Facility 2020, a senior unsecured financing with a private investor for a total amount of approximately $158 million (€140 million) with a 7-year maturity. Closing is expected to occur prior to August 31, 2020, subject to certain conditions.

These new financings are expected to finance accretive growth opportunities:

  • On April 3, 2020 Atlantica invested in the creation of a renewable energy platform in Chile, together with financial partners, where we now own approximately a 35% stake and have a strategic investor role. The first investment was the acquisition of a 55 MW solar PV plant in an area with excellent solar resource. This asset, which has been in operation since 2016, has demonstrated a strong operating track record while selling its production to the Chilean power market.
  • On July 17, 2020 the Company exercised the option to buy out Solana’s tax equity investor. The investment is estimated to be approximately $290 million. Closing of the acquisition is expected to occur in August, subject to customary conditions.
  • Atlantica continues to actively pursue growth opportunities in its target geographies.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release also includes certain non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted EBITDA including unconsolidated affiliates, Adjusted EBITDA including unconsolidated affiliates as a percentage of revenues (margin) and CAFD. 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 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 as well as the reasons why management believes the use of non-GAAP financial measures in this press release provides useful information.

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 they 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 and CAFD 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 and CAFD differently than we do, which limits their usefulness as comparative measures.

We define Adjusted EBITDA including unconsolidated affiliates as profit/(loss) for the period attributable to the Company, after adding back loss/(profit) attributable to non-controlling interest from continued operations, income tax, share of profit/(loss) of associates carried under the equity method, finance expense net, depreciation, amortization and impairment charges. CAFD is calculated as cash distributions received by the Company from its subsidiaries minus all cash expenses of the Company, including debt service and general and administrative expenses.

Our management believes Adjusted EBITDA including unconsolidated affiliates and CAFD 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 is a relevant supplemental measure of the Company’s ability to earn and distribute cash returns to investors and is 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 is used by our management team for determining future acquisitions and managing our growth. Adjusted EBITDA and CAFD are widely used by other companies in the same industry.

Our management uses Adjusted EBITDA and CAFD as measures of operating performance to assist in comparing performance from period to period on a consistent basis. 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 including unconsolidated affiliates 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.
