By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that may or may not occur in the future. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this presentation and are not guarantees of future performance and are based on numerous assumptions. Our actual results of operations, financial condition and the development of events may differ materially from (and be more negative than) those made in, or suggested by, the forward-looking statements.The purchase of Atlantica shares by Algonquin from Abengoa is subject to a number of condition which have been satisfied, though the share sale has not yet occured. Atlantica cannot make any representation regarding an agreement reached by two third parties. There is no guarantee that the AAGES ROFO and other agreements become effective, or that any assets will be purchased by Atlantica from Algonquin, AAGES or Abengoa.Many factors could cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements that may be expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements, including, among others: difficult conditions in the global economy and in the global market and uncertainties in emerging markets where we have international operations; changes in government regulations providing incentives and subsidies for renewable energy, including reduction of our revenues in Spain, which are mainly defined by regulation through parameters that could be reviewed at the end of each regulatory period; our ability to acquire solar projects due to the potential increase of the cost of solar panels; political, social and macroeconomic risks relating to the United Kingdom’s exit from the European Union; changes in general economic, political, governmental and business conditions globally and in the countries in which we do business; decreases in government expenditure budgets, reductions in government subsidies or adverse changes in laws and regulations affecting our businesses and growth plan; challenges in achieving growth and making acquisitions due to our dividend policy; inability to identify and/or consummate future acquisitions, under the AAGES ROFO Agreement, the Abengoa ROFO Agreement, or otherwise, on favorable terms or at all; our ability to identify and reach an agreement with new partners similar to the AAGES ROFO Agreement or Abengoa ROFO Agreement; our ability to identify and/or consumate future acquisitions from third parties or from potential new partners, including as a result of not being able to find acquisition opportunities at attractive prices; legal challenges to regulations, subsidies and incentives that support renewable energy sources; extensive governmental regulation in a number of different jurisdictions, including stringent environmental regulation; increases in the cost of energy and gas, which could increase our operating costs; counterparty credit risk and failure of counterparties to our offtake agreements to fulfill their obligations; inability to replace expiring or terminated offtake agreements with similar agreements;

exposure to market electricity can impact revenue from our renewable energy and efficient natural gas facilities (previously named “conventional generation”); changes to national and international law and policies that support renewable energy resources; lack of electric transmission capacity and potential upgrade costs to the electric transmission grid; disruptions in our operations as a result of our not owning the land on which our assets are located; risks associated with maintenance, expansion and refurbishment of electric generation facilities; failure of our assets to perform as expected, including Solana and Kaxu; failure to receive dividends from all project and investments, including Solana and Kaxu;

Abengoa’s ability to meet its obligations under our agreements with Abengoa, including operation and maintenance agreements, to comply with past representations, commitments and potential liabilities linked to the time when Abengoa owned the assets, potential clawback of transactions with Abengoa, and other risks related to Abengoa; failure to meet certain covenants under our financing arrangements; failure to obtain pending waivers in relation to the minimum ownership by Abengoa and the cross-default provisions contained in some of our project financing agreements; failure of Abengoa to maintain existing guarantees and letters of credit under the Financial Support Agreement or failure by us to maintain guarantees; failure of Abengoa to maintain its obligations and production guarantees, pursuant to EPC contracts; our ability to consummate future acquisitions from AAGES, Algonquin, Abengoa or others; our ability to close acquisitions under our ROFO agreements with AAGES, Algonquin, Abengoa and others, due to, among other things, not being offered assets that fit in our portfolio or not reaching agreements on prices; our ability to use U.S. NOLs to offset future income may be limited, including as the result of experiencing an ownership change under section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“IRC”); conflicts of interests which may be resolved in a manner that is not in our best interests or the best interest of our minority shareholders, potentially caused by our ownership structure and certain service agreements in place with our current largest shareholder; the share sale may not be completed; the divergence of interest between us and Abengoa, due to Abengoa’s sale of our shares; potential negative implications from a potential change of control; negative implications of U.S. federal income tax reform;

Atlantica Yield undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or developments or otherwise.Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described herein as anticipated, believed, estimated, expected or targeted.This presentation includes certain non-GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) financial measures which have not been subject to a financial audit for any period. 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 of other companies and have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation 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 and should not be considered as alternatives to operating profit or profit for the year 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.The CAFD and other guidance included in this presentation are estimates as of March 7, 2017. These estimates are based on assumptions believed to be reasonable as of that date. Atlantica Yield plc. disclaims any current intention to update such guidance, except as required by law. DISCLAIMER
