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 May 14, 2018. 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.
