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.

sectors in the section entitled “Item 4.B. Information on the
Company—Business Overview,” each in our Annual Report on Form 20-F
for the year ended December 31, 2022, filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (“SEC”), for a more complete discussion of the

Results. 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.
