    Liquidity and Debt

    As of September 30, 2022, cash at Atlantica’s corporate level was $105.8 million, compared with $88.3 million as of December 31, 2021. Additionally, as of September 30, 2022, the Company had $440.0 million available under its Revolving Credit Facility and therefore total corporate liquidity8 of $545.8 million, compared with $528.3 million as of December 31, 2021.

    As of September 30, 2022, net project debt9 was $3.95 billion, compared with $4.50 billion as of December 31, 2021, while net corporate debt10 was $849.7 million, compared with $934.8 million as of December 31, 2021. As of September 30, 2022, the net corporate debt / CAFD pre-corporate debt service ratio11 was 3.0x and the average corporate debt maturity stood at approximately 4.5 years, providing the Company with significant financial flexibility.

    Dividend

    On November 8, 2022, the Board of Directors of Atlantica approved a dividend of $0.445 per share. This dividend is expected to be paid on December 15, 2022, to shareholders of record as of November 30, 2022.

    Growth Update

    Atlantica has committed approximately $150 million in new investments, including investments in standalone battery storage, solar PV with storage and other investments, including the prepayment of a tranche of project debt with higher cost.

            1.    First Standalone Battery Storage Project.

    Atlantica announced the construction of a battery storage system located inside its Coso geothermal plant in California, a project that the Company has been developing in-house. The battery system will have a capacity of 100 MWh (4 hours) and is expected to start operation in 2024. The expected investment represents an Enterprise Value12 / EBITDA13 multiple of approximately 10 times. The project will benefit from the U.S. Inflation Reduction Act and from synergies with existing assets in the region.

    This is the first project of a pipeline in the Southwest that includes 6 projects with a total 300 MW of PV and over 2,000 MWh of storage. The Southwest of the United States presents a clear opportunity for storage considering current renewable energy penetration and future objectives.

            “We believe that the Inflation Reduction Act is going to be a game changer in the renewable energy sector in the U.S. We expect to build new projects on which we have been working during the last years and to continue building our pipeline,” said Santiago Seage, Chief Executive Officer of Atlantica. “As the energy transition accelerates, our experience with most renewable energy technologies and storage will be the key to offer clients and ISOs efficient clean energy solutions”.

            2.    First Investment in PV + Batteries.

    In September 2022, Atlantica closed the acquisition of Chile PV 3, a 73 MW solar PV plant through its renewable energy platform in Chile. In 2023, the Company expects to add a battery system of approximately 100 MWh. Storage systems in Chile receive capacity payments, similar to resource adequacy. This asset can also benefit from synergies with existing assets in Chile. The acquisition represents an Enterprise Value14 / EBITDA15 multiple of approximately 6 times.

    In addition, we have an exclusivity agreement to co-invest in an 80 MW portfolio of solar PV assets which is currently starting construction.

    Well Positioned to Navigate Current Market Risks

    With its prudent financing and hedging policy, Atlantica should be well positioned against current market risks in the power sector:

    • Euro foreign exchange risk is hedged. Atlantica has always hedged the exposure of its Cash Available For Distribution to variations in the value of the euro against the U.S. dollar. First, Atlantica benefits from a natural hedge, since distributions from its solar assets in Europe are partially offset with interest payments in euros at the corporate level and euro-denominated corporate general and administrative expenses. Second, Atlantica’s strategy is to hedge its net euro exposure through currency options on a rolling basis. The Company hedges 100% of its euro-denominated net exposure for the next 12 months and 75% of its euro-denominated net exposure for the subsequent 12 months. After month 24, the potential impact on CAFD is estimated at approximately 2-3%16 assuming the conversion of the expected net euro exposure to U.S. dollar at the current euro/U.S. dollar rate instead of at the Company’s average hedged rate for 2022.
    • Escalation factors provide protection against inflation. Approximately 50%17 of the Company’s portfolio has revenue indexed either to U.S. inflation indexes or to a formula based on inflation or to a fixed number.
    • Interest rates are largely fixed or hedged. 99% of the Company’s corporate debt and 93% of its project debt is either fixed or hedged as of September 30, 2022. An increase of 100 basis points in interest rates with respect to current rates is estimated to have an impact of approximately 1.5%18 on our CAFD.
    • Regulated assets in Europe. Given the regulated nature of the revenue from our assets in Europe, any potential caps on market prices should have no impact on the net value of our assets.

    2022 Guidance

    Atlantica expects to close the year 2022 with CAFD in the range of the guidance provided in March 2022, which is between $230 million and $250 million.

    The Company expects to achieve an Adjusted EBITDA modestly below the low end of its guidance, which was $810 million, mainly due to the impact from the depreciation of the euro against the U.S. dollar. This depreciation has not affected CAFD guidance as a result of the Company’s hedging strategy.

    Details of the Results Presentation Conference

    Non-GAAP Financial Measures

    This press release also includes certain non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted EBITDA, CAFD and CAFD per share and Enterprise Value to EBITDA. 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, Adjusted EBITDA and enterprise value to 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, CAFD per share and enterprise value to EBITDA 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, CAFD per share and enterprise value to EBITDA 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, finance 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). Until September 30, 2021, Adjusted EBITDA excluded share of profit/(loss) of associates carried under the equity method and did not include depreciation and amortization, financial expense and income tax expense of unconsolidated affiliates (pro-rata of our equity ownership). Prior periods have been presented accordingly.

    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 (114,236,482 for the nine-months ended on September 30, 2022, and 110,749,202 for September 30, 2021).

    We define enterprise value to EBITDA as an investment's enterprise value divided by its earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization.

    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, CAFD per share and enterprise value to EBITDA are widely used by other companies in the same industry.

    Our management believes enterprise value to EBITDA is a useful valuation tool widely used by investors when evaluating transactions as it compares the investment's value to its earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization.

    Our management uses Adjusted EBITDA, CAFD, CAFD per share and enterprise value to EBITDA 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 period ended September 30, 2022 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 Compared to the nine-month period ended September 30, 2021, on a constant currency basis and adjusted for the consolidation of a non-recurrent Rioglass solar project in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2021.
    2 CAFD per share is calculated by dividing CAFD for the period by the weighted average number of shares for the period.

    3 Represents total installed capacity in assets owned or consolidated at the end of the period, regardless of our percentage of ownership in each of the assets, except for Vento II, for which we have included our 49% interest.

    4 Includes 49% of Vento II production since its acquisition. Includes curtailment in wind assets for which we receive compensation.
    5 Includes 43 MW corresponding to our 30% share in Monterrey and 55MWt corresponding to thermal capacity from Calgary District Heating.

    6 GWh produced includes 30% share of the production from Monterrey.
    7 Availability refers to the time during which the asset was available to our client totally or partially divided by contracted or budgeted availability, as applicable.

    8   Corporate liquidity means cash and cash equivalents held at Atlantica Sustainable Infrastructure plc as of September 30, 2022, and available revolver capacity as of September 30, 2022.

    9   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.
    10 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.
    11 Net corporate leverage is calculated as net corporate debt divided by midpoint 2022 CAFD guidance before corporate debt service. CAFD pre-corporate debt service is calculated as CAFD plus corporate debt interest paid by Atlantica.
    12 Enterprise value means the expected investment of Atlantica in this battery storage system.
    13 Expected 2025 EBITDA of the Coso Battery Storage Project. See reconciliation in Appendix.
    14 Enterprise value means the investment of Atlantica in this Chile PV 3 plant.
    15 Average EBITDA for the years 2021 and 2020 of the Chile PV 3 plant. See reconciliation in Appendix.

    16 Calculated as the average net euro exposure expected for the years 2024-2027 multiplied by the difference between our average euro / dollar hedged rate for 2022 and the euro / dollar rate as of October 31, 2022 and dividing the result by the midpoint CAFD 2022 Guidance.
    17 Based on CAFD estimates for the 2022-2026 period as of February 28, 2022, including the acquisitions announced as of November 9, 2022. See “Disclaimer – Forward Looking Statements”.
    18 Expected annual impact calculated on existing debt as of September 30, 2022, with interest rates as of October 31, 2022., divided by the midpoint CAFD 2022 Guidance.

    19 “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.
    20 Based on Unaudited Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2021 and Audited Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2020, presented on a 100% basis.
