Nature of the business

Note 1. - Nature of the business

Atlantica Sustainable Infrastructure plc (“Atlantica” or the “Company”) is a sustainable total return infrastructure company that owns, manages and acquires renewable energy, efficient natural gas, electric transmission lines and water assets focused on North America (the United States, Mexico and Canada), South America (Peru, Chile and Uruguay) and EMEA (Spain, Algeria and South Africa).

Atlantica’s shares began trading on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the symbol “ABY” on June 13, 2014. The symbol changed to “AY” on November 11, 2017.

Algonquin Power & Utilities (“Algonquin”) is the largest shareholder of the Company and currently owns a 44.2% stake in Atlantica. Algonquin’s shareholding in Atlantica may be increased up to a 48.5% without any change in corporate governance. Algonquin’s voting rights and rights to appoint directors are limited to 41.5% and the difference between Algonquin´s ownership and 41.5% will vote replicating non-Algonquin’s shareholders vote. Algonquin does not consolidate the Company in its consolidated financial statements.

During the year 2019, the Company completed the following acquisitions:

On May 24, 2019, Atlantica and Algonquin formed Atlantica Yield Solutions Canada Inc. (“AYES Canada”), a vehicle to channel co-investment opportunities in which Atlantica holds the majority of voting rights. AYES Canada’s first investment was in Amherst Island, a 75 MW wind plant in Canada owned by the project company Windlectric, Inc. (“Windlectric”). Atlantica invested $4.9 million and Algonquin invested $92.3 million, both through AYES Canada, which in turn invested those funds in Amherst Island Partnership (“AIP), the holding company of Windlectric.

On August 2, 2019, the Company closed the acquisition of ASI Operations LLC (“ASI Ops”), the company that performs the operation and maintenance services to Solana and Mojave plants. The consideration paid was $6 million.

On August 2, 2019, the Company closed the acquisition of a 30% stake in Monterrey, a 142 MW gas-fired engine facility (“Monterrey”) and paid $42 million for the total investment.

On October 22, 2019, the Company closed the acquisition of ATN Expansion 2 from Enel Green Power Perú, for a total equity investment of approximately $20 million, controlling the asset from this date. Transfer of the concession agreement is pending authorization from the Ministry of Energy in Peru. If this authorization were not to be obtained before December 2020, the transaction would be reversed with no penalties to Atlantica. Enel Green Power Perú issued a bank guarantee to face this potential repayment obligation to Atlantica.

During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2020, the Company completed the following acquisitions:

On April 3, 2020, the Company made an initial investment in the creation of a renewable energy platform in Chile, together with financial partners, where it owns approximately a 35% stake and has a strategic investor role. The first investment was the acquisition of a 55 MW solar PV plant in an area with excellent solar resource (“Chile PV I”). This asset has been in operation since 2016 demonstrating a good operating track record while selling its production in the Chilean power market. The platform intends to make further investments in renewable energy in Chile and to sign PPAs with credit worthy off-takers. The Company’s initial contribution was approximately $4 million.

In January 2019, the Company entered into an agreement with Abengoa S.A. (“Abengoa”) under the Abengoa ROFO Agreement for the acquisition of Befesa Agua Tenes, a holding company which owns a 51% stake in Ténès Lilmiyah SpA (“Tenes”), a water desalination plant in Algeria. The Company paid in January 2019 an advance payment of $19.9 million. Closing of the acquisition was subject to conditions precedent which were not fulfilled. In accordance with the terms of the share purchase agreement, the advance payment was converted into a secured loan to be reimbursed by Befesa Agua Tenes, together with 12% per annum interest, through a full cash-sweep of all the dividends to be received from the asset. In October 2019, the Company received a first payment of $7.8 million through the cash sweep mechanism. On May 31, 2020, the Company entered into a new $4.5 million secured loan agreement with Befesa Agua Tenes, in addition to the initial one granted in 2019. The aggregate amount owed at that date, including interest accrued, was $14.0 million. This new loan agreement is expected to be reimbursed by Befesa Agua Tenes, together with 12% per annum interest, through a full cash-sweep of all the dividends to be received from the Tenes asset. The new agreement signed with Abengoa provides Atlantica with a majority at the board of directors of Befesa Agua Tenes together with a series of decision rights at the Tenes level, and a call option over the shares of Befesa Agua Tenes at a call price of $1, among others.

On August 17, 2020, the Company closed the acquisition of Liberty’s equity interest in Solana. Liberty was the tax equity investor in the Solana project. Total equity investment is expected to be approximately $290 million of which $272 million has already been paid. Total price includes a deferred payment and a performance earn-out based on the average annual net production of the asset in the four calendar years with the highest annual net production during the five calendar years of 2020 through 2024.

(*) Commercial Operation Date.

The project financing arrangement of Kaxu contains cross-default provisions related to Abengoa such that debt defaults by Abengoa, subject to certain threshold amounts and/or a restructuring process, could trigger a default under the Kaxu project financing arrangement. In March 2017, Atlantica obtained a waiver with respect to its Kaxu project financing arrangement which waived any potential cross-defaults with Abengoa up to that date, but the waiver did not cover potential future cross-default events. The restructuring process and the pre-insolvency filing by the individual company Abengoa S.A. in August 2020 represent a theoretical event of default under the Kaxu project finance agreement. Although the Company does not expect the acceleration of debt to be declared by the credit entities, Kaxu did not have contractually as of September 30, 2020 what International Accounting Standards define as an unconditional right to defer the settlement of the debt for at least twelve months after that date, as the cross-default provisions make that right not unconditional. Thus, the total debt of Kaxu, which amounts to $324 million as of September 30, 2020, has been presented as current in these consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Accounting Standards 1 (“IAS 1”), “Presentation of Financial Statements”. The Company is currently negotiating with the creditors a waiver and/or contract modifications in this regard.

Outbreak of COVID-19

The outbreak of the COVID-19 coronavirus disease (“COVID-19”) was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization in March 2020 and continues to spread in key markets of the Company. The COVID-19 virus continues to evolve rapidly, and its ultimate impact is uncertain and subject to change. Governmental authorities have imposed or recommended measures or responsive actions, including quarantines of certain geographic areas and travel restrictions.

Main risks and uncertainties identified by the Company, which may result in a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows, are:

COVID-19 may affect the operation and maintenance employees of the Company as well as suppliers of operation and maintenance. Furthermore, COVID-19 has caused travel restrictions and significant disruptions to global supply chains. A prolonged disruption could limit the availability of certain parts required to operate the facilities of the Company and adversely impact the ability of its operation and maintenance suppliers. If the Company were to experience a shortage of or inability to acquire critical spare parts, it could incur significant delays in returning facilities to full operation.

Slowdown of broad sectors of the economy, a general reduction in demand, including demand for commodities and a negative impact on prices of commodities, including electricity, oil and gas. The global outbreak also caused significant disruption and volatility in the global financial markets, especially from the end of February until the end on May 2020, including the market price of the shares of the Company. Debt and equity markets have also been affected and there have been weeks with a very low number of new debt and equity issuance transactions. Interest rates for new issuances and spreads with respect to treasury yields increased significantly. Although the revenue of the Company are generally contracted or regulated, clients may be affected by a reduced demand, lower commodity prices and the turmoil in the credit markets. A reduced demand and low prices persisting over time could cause delays in collections, a deterioration in the financial situation of the clients of the Company or their bankruptcy.

Measures taken by the Company so far have focused on reinforcing safety measures in all its assets while it continues to provide a reliable service to its clients. For example, the Company has implemented the use of additional protection equipment, reinforced access control to its plants, reduced contact between employees, changed shifts, tested employees, identified and isolated potential cases together with their close contacts and taken additional measures to increase safety measures for its employees and operation and maintenance suppliers’ employees working at its assets. Furthermore, the Company has adopted additional precautionary measures intended to mitigate potential risks to its employees, including temporarily requiring all employees to work remotely when their work can be done from home, and suspending all non-essential travel. The Company has also reinforced its physical and cyber-security measures. In May 2020, the Company started to re-open certain offices at partial capacity and under strict safety measures and since then has decided to close certain offices again, based on health indicators in each region. In addition, the Company has increased the purchase of spare parts and equipment required for operations, to manage potential disruptions in the supply chain. The Company continues to monitor the situation closely in all assets and offices to take additional action if required.

COVID-19 did not have any material impact on these condensed interim financial statements.

The Company’s annual consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2019, were approved by the Board of Directors on February 26, 2020.

These consolidated condensed interim financial statements are presented in accordance with International Accounting Standards (“IAS”) 34, “Interim Financial Reporting”. In accordance with IAS 34, interim financial information is prepared solely in order to update the most recent annual consolidated financial statements prepared by the Company, placing emphasis on new activities, occurrences and circumstances that have taken place during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2020, and not duplicating the information previously published in the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019. Therefore, the consolidated condensed interim financial statements do not include all the information that would be required in a complete set of consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with the IFRS-IASB (“International Financial Reporting Standards-International Accounting Standards Board”). In view of the above, for an adequate understanding of the information, these consolidated condensed interim financial statements must be read together with Atlantica’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 included in the 2019 20-F.

In determining the information to be disclosed in the notes to the consolidated condensed interim financial statements, Atlantica, in accordance with IAS 34, has taken into account its materiality in relation to the consolidated condensed interim financial statements.

The consolidated condensed interim financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars, which is the Company’s functional and presentation currency. Amounts included in these consolidated condensed interim financial statements are all expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars, unless otherwise indicated.

These consolidated condensed interim financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors of the Company on November 4, 2020.

Use of estimates

Some of the accounting policies applied require the application of significant judgment by management to select the appropriate assumptions to determine these estimates. These assumptions and estimates are based on the Company´s historical experience, advice from experienced consultants, forecasts and other circumstances and expectations as of the close of the financial period. The assessment is considered in relation to the global economic situation of the industries and regions where the Company operates, taking into account future development of our businesses. By their nature, these judgments are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty; therefore, actual results could materially differ from the estimates and assumptions used. In such cases, the carrying values of assets and liabilities are adjusted.

The most critical accounting policies, which reflect significant management estimates and judgment to determine amounts in these consolidated condensed interim financial statements, are as follows:

•	Contracted concessional agreements.

•	Impairment of contracted concessional assets.

•	Assessment of control.

•	Derivative financial instruments and fair value estimates.

•	Income taxes and recoverable amount of deferred tax assets.

Although these estimates and assumptions are being made using all available facts and circumstances, it is possible that future events may require management to amend such estimates and assumptions in future periods. Changes in accounting estimates are recognized prospectively, in accordance with IAS 8, in the consolidated income statement of the period in which the change occurs.

The Company decided to reduce the useful life of the CSP plants in Spain from 35 years to 25 years after COD with effective date September 1^st, 2020 (Note 6).

Financial information by segment [Abstract]

Financial information by segment

Note 4. - Financial information by segment

Atlantica’s segment structure reflects how management currently makes financial decisions and allocates resources. Its operating segments are based on the following geographies where the contracted concessional assets are located:

•	North America

•	South America

•

EMEA

Based on the type of business, as of September 30, 2020, the Company had the following business sectors:

•	Renewable energy

•	Efficient natural gas

•	Electric transmission lines

•

Water

Atlantica’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) assesses the performance and assignment of resources according to the identified operating segments. The CODM considers the revenue as a measure of the business activity and the Adjusted EBITDA as a measure of the performance of each segment. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as profit/(loss) for the period attributable to the parent company, after adding back loss/(profit) attributable to non-controlling interests from continued operations, income tax, share of profit/(loss) of associates carried under the equity method, finance expense net, depreciation, amortization and impairment charges of entities included in these consolidated condensed interim financial statements.

In order to assess performance of the business, the CODM receives reports of each reportable segment using revenue and Adjusted EBITDA. Net interest expense evolution is assessed on a consolidated basis. Financial expense and amortization are not taken into consideration by the CODM for the allocation of resources.

In the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, Atlantica had four customers with revenue representing more than 10% of the total revenue, three in the renewable energy and one in the efficient natural gas business sectors.

a) The following tables show Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA by operating segments and business sectors for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2020 and 2019:

For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2020

On April 3, 2020, the Company completed the investment in a 35% stake in a renewable energy platform in Chile for approximately $4 million. The first investment made by the platform has been in a 55 MW solar PV plant, Chile PV I, located in Chile. Atlantica has control over Chile PV I under IFRS 10, Consolidated Financial Statements. The acquisition of Chile PV I has been accounted for in these consolidated condensed interim financial statements in accordance with IFRS 3, Business Combinations, showing 65% of Non-Controlling interest.

On May 31, 2020, the Company obtained control over the Board of Directors of Befesa Agua Tenes which owns a 51% stake in Tenes, a water desalination plant in Algeria. On May 31, 2020, the Company also acquired a series of decision rights at the Tenes level. The total investment, in the form of a secured loan agreement to be reimbursed through a full cash-sweep of all the dividends to be received from the asset, amounted to approximately $19 million as of May 31, 2020. The acquisition has been accounted for in the consolidated financial statements of Atlantica, in accordance with IFRS 3, Business Combinations.

Impact of business combinations in the consolidated financial statements

The amount of assets and liabilities consolidated at the effective acquisition date is shown in the following table:

The purchase price equals the fair value of the net assets acquired.

The amounts indicated above may be adjusted during the measurement period to reflect new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date that, if known, would have affected the amounts recognized as of September 30, 2020. The measurement period will not exceed one year from the acquisition dates.

The amount of revenue contributed by the acquisitions performed during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2020 to the consolidated financial statements of the Company as of September 30, 2020 is $13.3 million, and the amount of profit after tax is $1.7 million. Had the acquisitions been consolidated from January 1, 2020, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income would have included additional revenue of $16.3 million and additional profit after tax of $2.3 million.

For the year ended December 31, 2019

On August 2, 2019, the Company closed the acquisition of a 100% stake in ASI Operations LLC (“ASI Ops”), the company that performs the operation and maintenance services for the Solana and Mojave plants. The total equity investment amounted to $6 million. The acquisition has been accounted for in the consolidated financial statements of Atlantica, in accordance with IFRS 3, Business Combinations.

On October 22, 2019, the Company closed the acquisition of ATN Expansion 2 from Enel Green Power Perú, for a total equity investment of $20 million, controlling the asset from this date. Transfer of the concession agreement is pending authorization from the Ministry of Energy in Peru. If this authorization were not to be obtained before December 2020, the transaction would be reversed with no penalties to Atlantica. Enel Green Power Perú issued a bank guarantee to address this potential repayment obligation to Atlantica. The purchase has been accounted for in the consolidated accounts of Atlantica, in accordance with IFRS 3, Business Combinations.

Contracted concessional assets [Abstract]

Contracted concessional assets

Note 6. - Contracted concessional assets

The detail of contracted concessional assets included in the heading ‘Contracted concessional assets’ as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 is as follows:

	Balance as of September 30, 2020			Balance as of December 31, 2019
	($ in thousands)
Contracted concessional assets cost		10,576,508			10,384,597
Amortization and impairment		(2,495,863	)		(2,223,468	)
Total		8,080,645			8,161,129

Contracted concessional assets include fixed assets related to service concession arrangements recorded in accordance with IFRIC 12, except for Palmucho, which is recorded in accordance with IFRS 16, and PS10, PS20, Seville PV, Mini-Hydro, Chile TL3 and Chile PV I, which are recorded as property plant and equipment in accordance with IAS 16. Concessional assets recorded in accordance with IFRIC 12 are either intangible or financial assets. As of September 30, 2020, contracted concessional financial assets amount to $863.8 million ($819.1 million as of December 31, 2019).

The increase in the contracted concessional assets cost is due to business combination of Tenes and Chile PV I for a total amount of $162 million (Note 5) and to the higher value of the Euro denominated assets since the exchange rate of the Euro significantly increased against the U.S. dollar since December 31, 2019, partially offset by a lower value of Kaxu asset since the exchange rate of the South African rand significantly decreased against the U.S. dollar since December 31, 2019.

Solana storage system partial write-off

The availability in the storage system of Solana has been lower than expected during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2020 due to certain leaks identified in the storage system in the first quarter. The Company has a preliminary plan to replace some elements of the storage system, which have been written off in these consolidated condensed interim financial statements through profit and loss in the line “Depreciation, amortization, and impairment charges” for an estimated net book value of approximately $48 million. The exact scope and timing of the improvements and repairs are currently under review and still need to be finalized.

The Company identified during the third quarter of 2020 a triggering event of impairment for Solana as a result of the underperformance of the plant in terms of production. The Company therefore performed an impairment test as of September 30, 2020, which resulted in the recoverable amount (value in use) exceeding the carrying amount of the asset by 10%. To determine the value in use of the asset, a specific discount rate has been used in each year considering changes in the debt/equity leverage ratio over the useful life of this project, resulting in the use of a range of discount rates between 3.8% and 4.3%.

An adverse change in the key assumptions which are individually used for the valuation would not lead to future impairment recognition; neither in case of a 5% decrease in generation over the entire remaining useful life (PPA) of the project nor in case of an increase of 50 basis points in the discount rate.

Change in the useful life of the solar plants in Spain

Further to the recent developments in the Energy and Climate Policy Framework adopted by Spain in 2020, the Company concluded that the expected deep transformation of the electricity sector in Spain would probably significantly reduce the market price at which the electricity is sold in the mid- to long-term. In particular, the Company believes this may impact the price captured by the Company’s solar plants in Spain after the end of the regulation in place (2035 to 2038 onwards). As a result, the price captured by the plants after 2035 to 2038 (the end of the 25 years regulatory period) would likely not be sufficient to cover operating costs. In this case, the plants would stop operating and be dismantled at that point in time.

The Company believes that it is possible that long-term price evolution and technology changes could result in scenarios where the plants may continue to operate after the end of the regulatory period. Nevertheless, given the information currently available, the Company decided to reduce the useful life of the CSP plants in Spain from 35 years to 25 years after COD. This change of estimate of the useful life, effective September 1st, 2020, is accounted for as a change in accounting estimate in accordance with IAS 8, Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors.

The main impacts recorded in these consolidated condensed interim financial statements are:

an increased amortization charge from September 1^st, 2020, considering the reduction in the residual useful life of the plants. The impact is approximately $5 million as of September 30, 2020, recorded within the line “Depreciation, amortization and impairment charges” in the profit and loss statement.

an increase in the discounted value of the dismantling provision, as the dismantling of the plants would occur earlier. The provision increased by approximately $12 million as of September 30, 2020 (Note 16).

In addition, reducing the useful life of the solar plants in Spain is a triggering event of impairment, given that the recoverable amount of the asset is negatively impacted if the plants stop operating in year 25 after COD.

The Company therefore performed an impairment test as of September 30, 2020, which resulted in the recoverable amount (value in use) exceeding the carrying amount of the assets by 6%. To determine the value in use of the assets, a specific discount rate has been used in each year considering changes in the debt/equity leverage ratio over the useful life of these projects, resulting in the use of a range of discount rates between 3.3% and 3.8%.

An adverse change in the key assumptions which are individually used for the valuation would not lead to future impairment recognition; neither in case of a 5% decrease in generation over the entire remaining useful life of the projects nor in case of an increase of 50 basis points in the discount rate.

Palmatir and Cadonal impairment reversals

As part of the triggering event analysis performed for Palmatir and Cadonal assets during the third quarter of 2020, the Company identified factors, such as a reduced discount rate, increasing their recoverable amount (value in use). The Company therefore performed an impairment test as of September 30, 2020, which resulted in the reversal of impairments previously recorded during the year 2016 for an amount of $15.6 million and $3.1 million in Cadonal and Palmatir, respectively, recorded within the line “Depreciation, amortization and impairment charges” of the profit and loss statement.

Other matters

Abengoa maintains a number of obligations under O&M and other contracts, as well as indemnities covering certain potential risks. Additionally, Abengoa represented in the past that Atlantica would not be a guarantor of any obligation of Abengoa with respect to third parties and agreed to indemnify the Company for any penalty claimed by third parties resulting from any breach in such representations. The Company has contingent assets, which have not been recognized as of September 30, 2020, related to the obligations of Abengoa referred above, which results and amounts will depend on the occurrence of uncertain future events.

No losses from impairment of contracted concessional assets, excluding any change in the provision for expected credit losses under IFRS 9, Financial instruments, were recorded during the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2020 and 2019. The impairment provision based on the expected credit losses on contracted concessional financial assets increased by $29 million in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2020 (reversal of $3 million in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019), primarily in ACT.

(*) Myah Bahr Honaine, S.P.A., the project entity, is 51% owned by Geida Tlemcen, S.L. which is accounted for using the equity method in these consolidated condensed interim financial statements. Geida Tlemcen, S.L. is 50% owned by Atlantica.

(**) Windlectric Inc., the project entity, is owned 100% by Amherst Island Partnership which is accounted for under the equity method.

(***) Pemcorp SAPI de CV, Monterrey´s project entity, is 100% owned by Arroyo Netherlands II B.V. - which is accounted for under the equity method in these consolidated condensed interim financial statements. Arroyo Netherlands II B.V. is 30% owned by Atlantica.

(****) Other renewable energy joint ventures correspond to investments made in the following entities located in Colombia: AC Renovables Sol 1 SAS Esp, PA Renovables Sol 1 SAS Esp, SJ Renovables Sun 1 SAS Esp and SJ Renovables Wind 1 SAS Esp.

Decrease in investments carried under the equity method as of September 30, 2020, is primarily due to distributions received from Honaine and Windlectric and to a decrease in the exchange rate of the Algerian dinar and Canadian dollar against the U.S. dollar since December 31, 2019.

On May 24, 2019, Atlantica and Algonquin formed AYES Canada, a vehicle to channel co-investment opportunities in which Atlantica holds the majority of voting rights. The first investment was in Amherst Island, a 75 MW wind plant in Canada owned by the project company Windlectric. Atlantica invested $4.9 million and Algonquin invested $92.3 million, both through AYES Canada, which in turn invested those funds in AIP, the holding company of Windlectric. Atlantica accounts for the investment in AIP and ultimately Windlectric under the equity method as per IAS 28, Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures. Since Atlantica has control over AYES Canada under IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements, its consolidated financial statements initially showed a total investment in the Amherst Island project of $97.2 million, accounted for as “Investments carried under the equity method” and Algonquin’s portion of that investment of $92.3 million as “Non-controlling interest”.

On August 2, 2019, the Company closed the acquisition of a 30% stake in Monterrey, a 142 MW gas-fired engine facility with batteries. The total investment amounted to $42 million, out of which $17 million is an equity investment, and the rest is a shareholder loan classified as financial investments in these consolidated condensed interim financial statements. The acquisition has been accounted for in the consolidated accounts of Atlantica, in accordance with IAS 28, Investments in Associates.

The derivatives are primarily interest rate cash flow hedges. All are classified as non-current assets or non-current liabilities, as they hedge long-term financing agreements.

Additionally, the Company owns the following derivatives instruments:

currency options with leading international financial institutions, which guarantee minimum Euro-U.S. dollar exchange rates. The strategy of the Company is to hedge the exchange rate for the distributions from its Spanish assets after deducting euro-denominated interest payments and euro-denominated general and administrative expenses. Through currency options, the strategy of the Company is to hedge 100% of its euro-denominated net exposure for the next 12 months and 75% of its euro denominated net exposure for the following 12 months, on a rolling basis. Hedge accounting is not applied to these options;

the conversion option of notes issued in July 2020 (Note 14), which fair value is liability of $9 million as of September 30, 2020.

The net amount of the fair value of interest rate derivatives designated as cash flow hedges transferred to the consolidated condensed income statement is a loss of $43.8 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2020 (loss of $41.1 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019).

The after-tax results accumulated in equity in connection with derivatives designated as cash flow hedges as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 amount to a profit of $81.5 million and $73.8 million, respectively (included under the caption “Other reserves”).

The principal amount was issued on May 24, 2019. The Note Issuance Facility 2019 includes an upfront fee of 2% paid on drawdown and its maturity date is April 30, 2025. Interest accrue at a rate per annum equal to the sum of 3-month EURIBOR plus 4.50%. The interest rate on the Note Issuance Facility 2019 is fully hedged by an interest rate swap with effective date June 28, 2019 and maturity date June 30, 2022, resulting in the Company paying a net fixed interest rate of 4.24%. The Note Issuance Facility 2019 provides that the Company may capitalize interest on the notes issued thereunder for a period of up to two years from closing at the Company´s discretion, subject to certain conditions.

On October 8, 2019, the Company filed a euro commercial paper program (the “Commercial Paper”) with the Alternative Fixed Income Market (MARF) in Spain. The program had an original maturity of twelve months and was extended for another twelve-month period on October 8, 2020. The program allows Atlantica to issue short term notes over the next twelve months for up to €50 million, with such notes having a tenor of up to two years. As of September 30, 2020, the Company had €19.5 million issued and outstanding under the program at an average cost of 0.83% (€25 million as of December 31, 2019).

On April 1, 2020, the Company closed the secured 2020 Green Private Placement for €290 million (approximately $340 million). The private placement accrues interest at an annual 1.96% interest, payable quarterly and has a June 2026 maturity. Net proceeds were primarily used to fully repay the Note Issuance Facility 2017.

On July 8, 2020, the Company entered into a senior unsecured financing (the “Note Issuance Facility 2020”) with Lucid Agency Services Limited, as agent, and a group of funds managed by Westbourne Capital as purchasers of the notes issued thereunder for a total amount of approximately $164 million which is denominated in euros (€140 million).

On July 17, 2020, the Company issued $100 million aggregate principal amount of 4.00% convertible bonds (the “Green Exchangeable Notes”) due 2025. On July 29, 2020, the Company closed an additional $15 million aggregate principal amount of the Green Exchangeable Notes. The notes mature on July 15, 2025 and bear interest at a rate of 4.00% per annum. The initial exchange rate of the notes is 29.1070 ordinary shares per $1,000 principal amount of notes, which is equivalent to an initial exchange price of $34.36 per ordinary share. Noteholders may exchange their notes at their option at any time prior to the close of business on the scheduled trading day immediately preceding April 15, 2025, only during certain periods and upon satisfaction of certain conditions. On or after April 15, 2025, noteholders may exchange their notes at any time. Upon exchange, the notes may be settled, at the election of the Company, into ordinary shares of Atlantica, cash or a combination thereof. The exchange rate is subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events.

As per IAS 32, “Financial Instruments: Presentation”, the conversion option of the Green Exchangeable Notes is an embedded derivative classified within the line “Derivative liabilities” of these consolidated condensed interim financial statements (Note 9). It was initially valued at transaction date for $10 million, and prospective changes to its fair value are accounted for through the profit and loss statement. The principal element of the Green Exchangeable Notes, classified within the line “Corporate debt” of these consolidated condensed interim financial statements, is initially valued as the difference between the consideration received from the holders of the instrument and the value of the embedded derivative, and thereafter, at amortized cost using the effective interest method as per IFRS 9, “Financial Instruments”.

Project debt [Abstract]

Project debt

Note 15. - Project debt

The main purpose of the Company is the long-term ownership and management of contracted concessional assets.

Project debt is generally used to finance contracted assets, exclusively using as guarantee the assets and cash flows of the company or group of companies carrying out the activities financed. In most of the cases, the assets and/or contracts are set up as guarantee to ensure the repayment of the related financing. Compared with corporate debt, project debt has certain key advantages, including a greater leverage and a clearly defined risk profile.

This note shows the project debt linked to the contracted concessional assets included in Note 6 of these consolidated condensed interim financial statements.

The cash of the Company´s projects includes funds held to satisfy the customary requirements of certain non-recourse debt agreements and other restricted cash for an amount of $319 million as of September 30, 2020 ($339 million as of December 31, 2019).

The breakdown of project debt for both non-current and current liabilities as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 is as follows:

	Balance as of September 30,		Balance as of December 31,
	2020		2019
	($ in thousands)
Non-current		4,638,584		4,069,909
Current		642,590		782,439
Total Project debt		5,281,174		4,852,348

The increase in total project debt as of September 30, 2020 is primarily due to:

business combinations, being the acquisition of Chile PV I and Tenes for a total amount of $158 million (Note 5).

a green project financing agreement entered into by Logrosán Solar Inversiones, S.A.U., the holding company of Spanish assets Solaben 1, 2, 3 and 6, closed on April 8, 2020 for a €140 million nominal amount.

a non-recourse project debt refinancing of Helioenergy assets by adding a new long dated tranche of debt from an institutional investor closed on July 10, 2020, providing with a net refinancing proceeds (net “recap”) of approximately $43 million.

a non-recourse, project debt financing closed on July 14, 2020 for approximately €326 million in relation to Helios, with institutional investors, which has refinanced the previous bank project debt with approximately €250 million outstanding and has canceled legacy interest rate swaps. After transaction costs and cancelation of legacy swaps, net refinancing proceeds (net “recap”) were approximately $30 million. The accumulated impact of the change in fair value of the interest rate swaps recorded in Other reserves and any difference between the nominal amount of the debt repaid and the amortized cost of the debt have been transferred to the profit and loss in line “Other financial income/(expense), net” on transaction date for a total amount of $72 million (Note 19).

the higher value of debt denominated in Euro given the increase in the exchange rate of the Euro against the U.S. dollar since December 31, 2019.

Additionally, on June 12, 2020 the Company refinanced the debt of Cadonal (Uruguay). The terms of the new debts are not substantially different from the original debts refinanced and therefore the exchange of debts instruments does not qualify for an extinguishment of the original debts under IFRS 9, ´Financial instruments´. When there is a refinancing with a non-substantial modification of the original debt, there is a gain or loss recorded in the income statement. This gain or loss is equal to the difference between the present value of the cash flows under the original terms of the former financing and the present value of the cash flows under the new financing, discounted both at the original effective interest rate. In this respect, the Company recorded a $3.8 million financial income in the profit and loss statement of the consolidated condensed financial statements (see Note 19).

Due to the PG&E Corporation and its regulated utility subsidiary, Pacific Gas and Electric Company (“PG&E”), Chapter 11 filings in January 2019, a default of the PPA agreement with PG&E occurred. Since PG&E failed to assume the PPA within 180 days from the commencement of the PG&E’s Chapter 11 proceedings, a technical event of default was triggered under the Mojave project finance agreement in July 2019. On July 1, 2020, PG&E emerged from Chapter 11. In addition, PG&E paid to Mojave the portion of the invoice corresponding to the electricity delivered for the period between January 1 and January 28, 2019. This invoice was overdue because the services relate to the pre-petition period and any payment therefore required the approval by the Bankruptcy Court. The technical event of default under the Mojave project finance agreement, which was preventing cash distributions from Mojave to Atlantica, has been cured and the Company can make distributions from Mojave. As result, as of September 30, 2020, the Company has again an unconditional right to defer the settlement of the debt for at least twelve months, and therefore the debt previously presented as current has been reclassified as non-current in accordance with the financing agreements in these condensed interim financial statements.

The repayment schedule for project debt in accordance with the financing arrangements and assuming there will be no acceleration of the Kaxu debt, as of September 30, 2020, is as follows and is consistent with the projected cash flows of the related projects:

Remainder of 2020

The repayment schedule for project debt in accordance with the financing arrangements and assuming there would be no acceleration of the Mojave debt, as of December 31, 2019, was as follows and was consistent with the projected cash flows of the related projects:

Grants and other liabilities

Note 16. - Grants and other liabilities

	($ in thousands)
Grants		1,043,410		1,087,553
Other Liabilities		185,820		554,199
Grant and other non-current liabilities		1,229,230		1,641,752

As of September 30, 2020, the amount recorded in Grants corresponds primarily to the ITC Grant awarded by the U.S. Department of the Treasury to Solana and Mojave for a total amount of $682 million ($707 million as of December 31, 2019), which was primarily used to fully repay the Solana and Mojave short-term tranche of the loan with the Federal Financing Bank. The amount recorded in Grants as a liability is progressively recorded as other income over the useful life of the asset.

The remaining balance of the “Grants” account corresponds to loans with interest rates below market rates for Solana and Mojave for a total amount of $359 million ($379 million as of December 31, 2019). Loans with the Federal Financing Bank guaranteed by the Department of Energy for these projects bear interest at a rate below market rates for these types of projects and terms. The difference between proceeds received from these loans and its fair value, is initially recorded as “Grants” in the consolidated statement of financial position, and subsequently recorded in “Other operating income” starting at the entry into operation of the plants. Total amount of income for these two types of grants for Solana and Mojave is $44.2 million and $44.3 million for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively (Note 20).

Other liabilities included as of December 31, 2019, the investment from Liberty Interactive Corporation (”Liberty”) made on October 2, 2013 for an original amount of $300 million. The liability was recorded in Grants and other liabilities for a total amount of $380 million as of December 31, 2019 and its current portion was recorded in other current liabilities for $41 million (Note 17). The investment was made in the parent company of the project entity, in exchange for the right to receive a large part of taxable losses and distributions until such time when Liberty reaches a certain rate of return, or the Flip Date. According to the stipulations of IAS 32 and in spite of the fact that the investment of Liberty was in shares, it did not qualify as equity and had been classified as a liability as of December 31, 2019. This liability had been initially valued at fair value, calculated as the present value of expected cash-flows during the useful life of the concession, and was then measured at amortized cost in accordance with the effective interest method, considering the most updated expected future cash-flows.

The Company acquired on August 17, 2020 Liberty´s equity interest in Solana for a total estimated purchase price of approximately $290 million, of which $272 million have already been paid. Total price includes a deferred payment and a performance earn-out based on the average annual net production of the asset in the four calendar years with the highest annual net production during the five calendar years of 2020 through 2024. The difference between the purchase price and the carrying amount of the liability previously recorded resulted in a $145 million gain recorded within the line “Other financial income/(expense), net” in the profit and loss statement (Note 19).

Additionally, other liabilities include $50.4 million of non-current finance lease liabilities and $75.6 million of dismantling provision as of September 30, 2020 ($53.8 million and $59.7 million as of December 2019, respectively). The increase in the dismantling provision since December 31, 2019 is primarily due to the reduction of the useful life of the CSP plants in Spain, effective September 1^st, 2020 (Note 6).
