Operational KPIs

Production in the renewable business portfolio decreased by 2.2% for the first nine months of 2024 compared with the first nine months of 2023.

Production increased at our U.S. solar assets mainly due to higher solar resource and greater availability of the Solana storage system. At our wind assets in the U.S. production increased due to higher wind resource in the first nine months of 2024 compared to the same period of 2023. In South America production increased due to higher production in our wind assets and to the contribution of solar assets that have recently entered into operation.

On the other hand, production decreased at Kaxu mostly due to the impact in the first quarter of 2024 of the unscheduled outage that started at the end of September 2023. The plant, where we have 51% equity interest, restarted operations in mid-February 2024. Part of the damage and business interruption has been covered by our insurance policy, after a 60-day deductible. Production also decreased at our solar assets in Spain mainly due to significantly lower solar radiation and at our geothermal asset mainly due to maintenance activities at some of the wells.

Our efficient natural gas and heat assets, our water assets, and our transmission lines, for which revenue is based on availability, continued at very high levels during the first nine months of 2024.

Liquidity and Debt

As of September 30, 2024, cash at Atlantica’s corporate level was $19.0 million, compared with $33.0 million as of December 31, 2023. Additionally, as of September 30, 2024, the Company had $301.3 million available under its Revolving Credit Facility ($378.1 million as of December 31, 2023) and therefore a total corporate liquidity of $320.3 million, compared with $411.1 million as of December 31, 2023.

As of September 30, 2024, net project debt⁶ was $3.83 billion, compared with $3.90 billion as of December 31, 2023, while net corporate debt⁷ was $1.19 billion as of September 30, 2024, compared with $1.05 billion as of December 31, 2023.

Dividend

On November 14, 2024, the Board of Directors of Atlantica approved a dividend of $0.2225 per share. Based upon the scheduled completion of the Transaction on December 12, 2024, the dividend is expected to be paid on December 12, 2024, to shareholders of record as of November 29, 2024.

Growth Update

Regarding growth, some of the developments that have taken place during the third quarter of 2024 include:

In July 2024, Honda 2, our 10 MW plant in Colombia where we have a 50% ownership interest, entered in operation. The plant has a 7-year PPA with Enel Colombia.
In August 2024, ATN Expansion 3, a substation and a 2.4-mile transmission line connected to our ATN transmission line reached commercial operation. The asset has a 17-year transmission service agreement denominated in U.S. dollars and serves a new mine in Peru.
On October 10, 2024, we entered into a 15-year tolling agreement (PPA) with an investment grade utility for a second phase of the project Overnight that includes 600 MWh of storage (4 hours). Total investment is expected to be within the range of $240 million to $250 million. Under the tolling agreement, Overnight will receive fixed monthly payments adjusted by the financial settlement of CAISO’s Day-Ahead market. In addition, we expect to obtain revenue from ancillary services. The phase 1 of the Overnight project consists of a 150 MW PV project that has a 15-year PPA with an investment grade utility.
We continue growing our pipeline of assets under development, which includes as of today approximately 2.1⁸ GW of renewable energy and 10.9⁸ GWh of storage. Approximately 30% of the projects are PV, 58% storage, 11% wind and 1% others, while 16% of the projects are expected to reach ready to build in 2024 or 2025, 16% are in an advanced development stage and 68% are in early stage.
Finally, in September 2024, we entered into a euro-denominated project financing for Caparacena, our PV asset under construction in Spain with COD expected in 2026, and PS 10 & 20, with a local bank for a total amount of €45.0 million. The loan for Caparacena matures in 2041 and will be gradually disbursed as the construction of the asset advances. The loans for PS 10 and PS 20 mature in 2030 and 2033, respectively.

Capital Recycling

In April 2024, an entity where we held a 30% equity interest closed the sale of Monterrey as planned. We have received $41.2 million for this sale. In addition, there is an earn-out mechanism that could result in additional proceeds for Atlantica of up to $7 million between 2026 and 2028.

Proposed Acquisition

On May 27, 2024, Atlantica entered into the Transaction Agreement with Bidco pursuant to which Bidco agreed to acquire 100% of the shares of Atlantica for $22 per share in cash, subject to the terms of the Transaction Agreement. Bidco is controlled by Energy Capital Partners and includes a large group of institutional co-investors. The Transaction is to be completed pursuant to a scheme of arrangement under the Companies Act 2006 of the United Kingdom.

All regulatory approvals required in connection with Transaction (including clearance by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States and by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission in the United States) have been received. The Transaction is still subject to sanction of the transaction by the High Court of Justice of England and Wales, which is scheduled for December 10, 2024. Closing is expected to take place two business days later, on December 12, 2024. Upon completion of the Transaction, Atlantica will become a privately held company and its shares will no longer be listed on any public market.

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 (116,161,185 for the nine-months ended on September 30, 2024, and 116,149,149 for the nine-months ended on September 30, 2023).

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, 2024 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 CAFD per share is calculated by dividing CAFD for the period by the weighted average number of shares for the period.

² Represents total installed capacity in assets owned or consolidated for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, regardless of our percentage of ownership in each of the assets except for our unconsolidated affiliates, for which we have included their installed capacity weighted by our corresponding interest (49% for Vento and Chile PMGD and 50% for Honda 1 and Honda 2).
³ Includes production of our unconsolidated affiliates weighted by Atlantica’s interest. Includes curtailment in wind assets for which we receive compensation.
⁴ Includes 55 MWt corresponding to thermal capacity from Calgary District Heating. Capacity for the nine-month period ended September 2023 includes 43 MW corresponding to our 30% share in Monterrey until its sale in April 2024.
⁵ GWh produced includes 30% of the production from Monterrey until its sale in April 2024.
⁶ 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.
⁷ 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.
⁸ Only includes projects estimated to be ready to build before or in 2030 of approximately 5.0 GW, 2.1 GW of renewable energy and 2.9 GW of storage (equivalent to 10.9 GWh). Capacity measured by multiplying the size of each project by Atlantica’s ownership. Potential expansions of transmission lines not included.

⁹“ 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.
