GTL Transaction
On 30 September 2015 the Group signed an agreement to acquire
GTL Limited's ("GTL") Operation Maintenance and Energy contracts to
provide efficient and economical energy to over 27,400 telecom
towers in India on a long term contractual basis ("Energy
Management Business"). This agreement was subject to funding and
other conditions precedent.
Discussions have been ongoing with providers of capital to fund
the acquisition, while Intelligent Energy has been providing
services under an interim contract with GTL under the Essential
Energy segment of the business.
This interim contract is estimated to have a revenue of cGBP7m a
month with minimal gross margin. In the year ended 30 September
2016 the Essential Energy segment recorded Revenue of GBP85.1m, an
adjusted EBITDA(1) loss of -GBP2.5m and a loss after tax of
-GBP5.5m.
Following further discussions with GTL and between GTL and its
banks, the deal to acquire the Energy Management Business will not
now be consummated and the related funding discussions are ceasing.
The interim contract with GTL will cease with effect from 30
November 2016.
Options will now be considered around the restructuring of the
Essential Energy segment and the operations in India and a further
announcement will be made in due course.
As noted at the annual results presentation, the outlook for the
core business is not considered to be materially dependent on the
completion of the GTL transaction and the Company remains committed
to securing commercial opportunities for its Air Cooled
technology.
(1) EBITDA is a non-statutory measure often used by investors as
a proxy for cash and to calculate the value of a business. The
Company uses adjusted EBITDA (Earnings before Interest, impairment
charges, Tax, Depreciation, Amortisation, share of joint venture
results, equity fund raising costs and IFRS2 share-based payment
charges) as an indicator of trading profitability and a proxy for
operating cash flow, before any cash movements relating to
investment, tax, funding and changes in working capital. It is not
an IFRS measure, and not therefore shown in the Group income
statement. Please see notes 1 and 2 for a reconciliation of
adjusted EBITDA to EBITDA and operating loss
