Production in the U.S. solar portfolio in the first half of 2020 was a 1.8% higher than in the same period of the previous year.
|
• |
Production in Spain decreased mainly due to significantly lower solar radiation than in the same period of the previous year.
|
• |
In South Africa, production decreased mainly due to an unscheduled outage due to a fire in the first quarter that affected electrical equipment. After repairs, production is now at or close to capacity. Damage and business
interruption costs were covered by insurance, after customary deductibles.
|
• |
Finally, production of our wind assets increased by 9.6% due to good wind resource and stable performance of the assets.
|
|
|
• |
In April 2020, Atlantica entered into the Green Project Finance that resulted in a net recap for Atlantica of $143 million. The Green Project Finance was issued in compliance with the 2018 Green Loan Principles and has a Second
Party Opinion delivered by Sustainalytics.
|
• |
In July 2020, Atlantica entered into a non-recourse project debt refinancing of Helioenergy, one of the solar assets in Spain, by adding a new tranche of debt from an institutional investor, with a 15-year maturity. After
transaction costs, net refinancing proceeds (net “recap”) were approximately $43 million.
|
• |
Also in July 2020, Atlantica entered into a non-recourse project debt financing for approximately €326 million in Helios. The new debt has been used to repay the previous bank project debt with approximately €250 million
outstanding and has canceled legacy interest rate swaps. With this refinancing, Atlantica is achieving an improvement in cost (1.9% per annum versus approximately 4.2% in the previous financing) and tenor (17-year maturity versus 7
year in the previous financing). After transaction costs and cancelation of legacy swaps, net refinancing proceeds (net “recap”) were approximately $30 million.
|
|
|
• |
On July 17, 2020, Atlantica issued $100 million Green Exchangeable Notes due 2025. On July 29, 2020, the Company closed an additional $15 million of Green Exchangeable Notes pursuant to the over-allotment option granted to the
initial purchasers. The notes mature on July 15, 2025 and bear interest at a rate of 4.00% per annum. The initial exchange price is $34.36 per ordinary share. The Green Exchangeable Notes were issued in compliance with the 2018 Green
Bond Principles and have a Second Party Opinion delivered by Sustainalytics.
|
• |
In addition, Atlantica entered into the Note Issuance Facility 2020, a senior unsecured financing with a private investor for a total amount of approximately $158 million (€140 million) with a 7-year maturity. Closing is expected
to occur prior to August 31, 2020, subject to certain conditions.
|
• |
On April 3, 2020 Atlantica invested in the creation of a renewable energy platform in Chile, together with financial partners, where we now own approximately a 35% stake and have a strategic investor role. The first investment was
the acquisition of a 55 MW solar PV plant in an area with excellent solar resource. This asset, which has been in operation since 2016, has demonstrated a strong operating track record while selling its production to the Chilean power
market.
|
• |
On July 17, 2020 the Company exercised the option to buy out Solana’s tax equity investor. The investment is estimated to be approximately $290 million. Closing of the acquisition is expected to occur in August, subject to
customary conditions.
|
• |
Atlantica continues to actively pursue growth opportunities in its target geographies.

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 and CAFD 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 and CAFD differently than we do, which limits their usefulness as comparative measures.
