Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
|
• |
In January 2022, we closed the acquisition of Chile TL 4, a 63-mile transmission line, and two substations in Chile for a total equity investment of $38.4 million. We expect to expand the transmission line
in 2024, which would represent an additional investment of approximately $8 million. The asset has fully contracted revenues in U.S. dollars, with annual inflation adjustments and a 50-year remaining contract life. The off-takers are
several mini-hydro plants that receive contracted or regulated payments.
|
• |
In April 2022, we closed the acquisition of Italy PV 4, a 3.6 MW solar portfolio in Italy, for a total equity investment of $3.7 million. The asset has regulated revenues under a feed in tariff until 2031.
|
• |
In September 2022, we closed the acquisition of Chile PV 3, a 73 MW solar PV plant, through our renewable energy platform in Chile. The equity investment corresponding to our 35% equity interest was $7.7
million, and we expect to install batteries with a capacity of approximately 100 MWh in 2024. Total investment including batteries is expected to be in the range of $15 million to $25 million depending on the capital structure. Part of
the asset’s revenue is currently based on capacity payments. Adding storage would increase the portion of capacity payments.

In September 2022, we agreed our first investment in a standalone battery storage project of 100 MWh (4 hours) capacity located inside Coso, our geothermal asset in California. Our investment is expected to
be in the range of $40 million to $50 million. This project is at an advanced stage, we are preparing to start construction and we have closed a contract with Tesla for the procurement of the batteries. COD is expected in early 2025.
|
• |
In November 2022, we closed the acquisition of a 49% interest, with joint control, in an 80 MW portfolio of solar PV projects in Chile which is currently under construction (Chile PMGD). Our economic rights
are expected to be approximately 70%. Total investment in equity and preferred equity is expected to be approximately $30 million and COD is expected to be progressive in 2024. Revenue for these assets is regulated under the Small
Distributed Generation Means Regulation Regime (“PMGD”) for projects with a capacity equal or lower than 9 MW which allows to sell electricity at a stabilized price.
|
• |
In July 2022 we closed a 12-year transmission service agreement denominated in U.S. dollars that will allow us to build a substation and a 2.4-mile transmission line connected to our ATN transmission line
serving a new mine in Peru (ATN Expansion 3). The substation is expected to enter in operation in 2024 and the investment is expected to be approximately $12 million.
|
• |
In July 2023, as part of the New Transmission Plan Update in Peru, the Ministry of Energy and Mines published the Ministerial Resolution that enables to start construction of our ATS Expansion 1 project,
consisting in the reinforcement of two existing substation with new equipment. The expansion will be part of our existing concession contract, a 30-year contract with a fixed-price tariff base denominated in U.S. dollars adjusted annually
in accordance with the U.S. Finished Goods Less Foods and Energy Index as published by the U.S. Department of Labor. Given that the concession ends in 2044, we will be compensated with a one-time payment for the remaining 9 years of
concession. The expansion is expected to enter in operation in 2025 and the investment is expected to be approximately $30 million.
|
• |
In May 2022, we agreed to develop and construct Honda 1 and 2, two PV assets in Colombia with a combined capacity of 20 MW. Each plant has a 6-year PPA with Enel Colombia commencing at COD, which is
expected in the fourth quarter of 2023. Our investment is expected to be $5.5 million for each plant.
|
• |
Albisu, the 10 MW PV asset wholly owned by us reached COD in January 2023. Albisu is located in Uruguay and has a 15-year PPA with Montevideo Refrescos, S.R.L., a subsidiary of Coca-Cola Femsa, S.A.B. de
C.V. The PPA is denominated in local currency with a maximum and minimum price in U.S. dollars and is adjusted monthly based on a formula referring to the U.S. Producer Price Index (PPI), Uruguay’s Consumer Price Index (CPI) and the
applicable UYU/U.S. dollar exchange rate.
|
• |
La Tolua and Tierra Linda are two wholly owned solar PV assets in Colombia with a combined capacity of 30 MW which reached COD in the first quarter of 2023. Each plant has a 10-year PPA which commenced in
the first quarter of 2023, in local currency with Coenersa, the largest independent electricity wholesaler in Colombia.

Operation and Maintenance. In March 2023, we completed the process of transitioning the O&M services for our assets in Spain through the acquisition of the
business of an Abengoa subsidiary which was still providing those services to some of our assets. After this transfer, we performed the O&M services with our own personnel for assets representing approximately 72% of our consolidated
revenue for the year ended December 31, 2022, and the number of our employees increased to approximately 1,350. Abengoa currently provides O&M services for assets representing less than 5% of our consolidated revenue for the year
ended December 31, 2022.

Strategic Review. On February 21, 2023, Atlantica’s board of directors commenced a process to explore and evaluate potential strategic alternatives that may be
available to Atlantica to maximize shareholder value. The Company believes it has attractive growth and other opportunities in front of it and is committed to ensuring it is best positioned to take advantage of those opportunities. The
decision has the support of the Company’s largest shareholder, Algonquin. Atlantica expects to continue executing on its existing plans while the review of strategic alternatives is ongoing, including its current growth plan. As of the
date of this report, the strategic review is ongoing. There is no assurance that any specific transaction will be consummated or other strategic change will be implemented as a result of this strategic review. See “Cautionary Statements
Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and “Part I, Item 3.D.—Risk Factors” in our Annual Report.

Regulation in Spain. On December 28, 2022, the proposed parameters for the year 2023 were published in draft form and on June 30, 2023, the final parameters were
published, including a revised assumption for electricity prices for the years 2023, 2024 and 2025, resulting in a higher Remuneration on Investment than that included in the draft published in December 2022. The parameters are as

In June 2023 we executed an EPC heat exchanger performance bond at Kaxu for approximately $11 million, as we believe that the conditions were met. The EPC supplier has informed us that they intend to start
an arbitration process. The cash received in connection with such bond has been recorded as a deferred income and is expected to be used for repairs at the asset.
|
• |
Our partner in Monterrey initiated a process to sell its 70% stake in the asset. Such process is well advanced and, as part of it, we intend to sell our interest as well under the same terms. The net
proceeds to Atlantica are expected to be in the range of $46 to $53 million, after tax. The transaction is subject to certain conditions precedent and final transaction closing. We cannot guarantee that the transaction will
finally close.
|

Dividend. On November 7, 2023, our board of directors approved a dividend of $0.445 per share. The dividend is expected to be paid on December 15, 2023, to shareholders of record as of November 30, 2023.

Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of performance under IFRS as issued by the IASB and you should not consider Adjusted EBITDA as an alternative to operating income or profits or as a measure
of our operating performance, cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities or as a measure of our ability to meet our cash needs or any other measures of performance under generally accepted accounting principles. We
believe that Adjusted EBITDA is a useful indicator of our ability to incur and service our indebtedness and can assist securities analysts, investors and other parties to evaluate us. Adjusted EBITDA and similar measures are used by
different companies for different purposes and are often calculated in ways that reflect the circumstances of those companies. Adjusted EBITDA may not be indicative of our historical operating results, nor is it meant to be predictive of
potential future results. See “Item 2—Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Key Financial Measures”.

During the year 2022, in our assets in Spain we collected cash in line with the old parameters corresponding to the regulation in place at the beginning of the year 2022 and we were booking revenue in
accordance with the new parameters published in draft form, which were lower. This caused a positive change in working capital of approximately $54 million in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2022. In the first quarter of 2023,
collections at these assets in Spain were regularized, following the approval on December 14, 2022 of the new parameters for 2022, causing a negative change in working capital of approximately $58 million for the nine-month period ended
September 30, 2023.
|
- |
Additionally, working capital in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023, also includes a negative change due to lower collections in ACT of approximately $44 million compared to a positive change in
working capital of approximately $28 million of the same period from previous year.

Item 3. |
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk
|
Market
Risk
|
Description of Risk
|
Management of Risk
|
|
Foreign
exchange
risk
|
We are exposed to foreign currency risk – including euro, Canadian dollar, South African rand, Colombian peso and Uruguayan peso – related to operations and certain foreign currency
debt.
Our presentation currency and the functional currency of most of our subsidiaries is the U.S. dollar, as most of our revenue and expenses are denominated or linked to U.S. dollars.
All our companies located in North America, with the exception of Calgary, whose revenue is in Canadian dollars, and most of our companies in South America have their revenue and
financing contracts signed in or indexed totally or partially to U.S. dollars. Our solar power plants in Europe have their revenue and expenses denominated in euros; Kaxu, our solar plant in South Africa, has its revenue and expenses
denominated in South African rand, La Sierpe, La Tolua and Tierra Linda, our solar plants in Colombia, have their revenue and expenses denominated in Colombian pesos and Albisu, our solar plant in Uruguay, has its revenue denominated in
Uruguayan pesos, with a maximum and a minimum price in US dollars.
|
The main cash flows in our subsidiaries are cash collections arising from long-term contracts with clients and debt payments arising from project finance repayment. Project financing is
typically denominated in the same currency as that of the contracted revenue agreement, which limits our exposure to foreign exchange risk. In addition, we maintain part of our corporate general and administrative expenses and part of our
corporate debt in euros which creates a natural hedge for the distributions we receive from our assets in Europe.
To further mitigate this exposure, our strategy is to hedge cash distributions from our assets in Europe. We hedge the exchange rate for the net distributions in euros (after deducting
interest payments and general and administrative expenses in euros). Through currency options, we have hedged 100% of our euro-denominated net exposure for the next 12 months and 75% of our euro-denominated net exposure for the following
12 months. We expect to continue with this hedging strategy on a rolling basis. The difference between the euro/U.S. dollar hedged rate for the year 2023 and the current rate reduced by 5% would create a negative impact on cash available
for distribution of approximately $6 million. This amount has been calculated as the average net euro exposure expected for the years 2023 to 2026 multiplied by the difference between the average hedged euro /U.S. dollar rate for 2023 and
the euro/U.S. dollar rate as of the date of this quarterly report reduced by 5%.
Although we hedge cash-flows in euros, fluctuations in the value of the euro in relation to the U.S. dollar may affect our operating results. For example, revenue in euro-denominated
companies could decrease when translated to U.S. dollars at the average foreign exchange rate solely due to a decrease in the average foreign exchange rate, in spite of revenue in the original currency being stable. Fluctuations in the
value of the South African rand, the Colombian peso and the Uruguayan peso with respect to the U.S. dollar may also affect our operating results. Apart from the impact of these translation differences, the exposure of our income statement
to fluctuations of foreign currencies is limited, as the financing of projects is typically denominated in the same currency as that of the contracted revenue agreement.
|
Interest
rate risk
|
We are exposed to interest rate risk on our variable-rate debt.
Interest rate risk arises mainly from our financial liabilities at variable interest rates4 (less than 10% of our consolidated debt currently). Interest rate risk may also arise in the
future when we refinance our corporate debt, since interest rates at the moment of refinancing may be higher than current interest rates in our existing facilities.
The most significant impact on our Consolidated Condensed Interim Financial Statements related to interest rates corresponds to the potential impact of changes in EURIBOR or SOFR on the debt with interest
rates based on these reference rates and on derivative positions.
In relation to our interest rate swaps positions, an increase in EURIBOR or SOFR above the contracted fixed interest rate would create an increase in our financial expense which would
be positively mitigated by our hedges, reducing our financial expense to our contracted fixed interest rate. However, an increase in EURIBOR or SOFR that does not exceed the contracted fixed interest rate would not be offset by our
derivative position and would result in a stable net expense recognized in our consolidated income statement.
In relation to our interest rate options positions, an increase in EURIBOR, or SOFR above the strike price would result in higher interest expenses, which would be positively mitigated
by our hedges, reducing our financial expense to our capped interest rate. However, an increase in these rates of reference below the strike price would result in higher interest expenses.
|
Our assets largely consist of long duration physical assets, and financial liabilities consist primarily of long-term fixed-rate debt or floating-rate debt that has been swapped to
fixed rates with interest rate financial instruments to minimize the exposure to interest rate fluctuations.
We use interest rate swaps and interest rate options (caps) to mitigate interest rate risk. As of September 30, 2023, approximately 93% of our consolidated debt has fixed rates or is
hedged. As of that same date, 92% of our project debt and approximately 96% of our corporate debt either has fixed interest rates or has been hedged with swaps or caps. Our revolving credit facility has variable interest rates and is not
hedged as further described in “Item 5.B— Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—Liquidity and Capital Resources— Corporate debt agreements—Revolving Credit Facility”;
In the event that EURIBOR or SOFR had risen by 25 basis points as of September 30, 2023, with the rest of the variables remaining constant, the effect in the consolidated income
statement would have been a loss of $0.7 million and an increase in hedging reserves of $17.5 million. The increase in hedging reserves would be mainly due to an increase in the fair value of interest rate swaps designated as hedges.
|
Credit risk
|
We are exposed to credit risk mainly from operating activities, the maximum exposure of which is represented by the carrying amounts reported in the statements of financial position. We
are exposed to credit risk if counterparties to our contracts, trade receivables, interest rate swaps, or foreign exchange hedge contracts are unable to meet their obligations.
The credit rating of Eskom is currently CCC+ from S&P , Caa1 from Moody’s and B from Fitch. Eskom is the off-taker of our Kaxu solar plant, a state-owned, limited liability company,
wholly owned by the Republic of South Africa.
In addition, Pemex’s credit rating is currently BBB from S&P, B1 from Moody’s and B+ from Fitch. We have experienced delays in collections in the past, especially since the second
half of 2019, which have been significant in certain quarters.
|
The diversification by geography and business sector helps to diversify credit risk exposure by diluting our exposure to a single client.
In the case of Kaxu, Eskom’s payment guarantees to our Kaxu solar plant are underwritten by the South African Department of Mineral Resources and Energy, under the terms of an
implementation agreement. The credit ratings of the Republic of South Africa as of the date of this quarterly report are BB-/Ba2/BB- by S&P, Moody’s and Fitch, respectively.
In the case of Pemex, we continue to maintain a proactive approach including fluent dialogue with our client.
|
|
Liquidity risk
|
We are exposed to liquidity risk for financial liabilities.
Our liquidity at the corporate level depends on distribution from the project level entities, most of which have project debt in place. Distributions are generally subject to the
compliance with covenants and other conditions under our project finance agreements.
|
The objective of our financing and liquidity policy is to ensure that we maintain sufficient funds to meet our financial obligations as they fall due.
Project finance borrowing permits us to finance projects through project debt and thereby insulate the rest of our assets from such credit exposure. We incur project finance debt on a
project-by-project basis or by groups of projects. The repayment profile of each project is established based on the projected cash flow generation of the business. This ensures that sufficient financing is available to meet deadlines and
maturities, which mitigates the liquidity risk. In addition, we maintain a periodic communication with our lenders and regular monitoring of debt covenants and minimum ratios.
As of September 30, 2023, we had $441.1 million liquidity at the corporate level, comprised of $48.0 million of cash on hand at the corporate level and $393.1 million available under
our Revolving Credit Facility.
We believe that the Company’s liquidity position, cash flows from operations and availability under our revolving credit facility will be adequate to meet the Company’s financial
commitments and debt obligations; growth, operating and maintenance capital expenditures; and dividend distributions to shareholders. Management continues to regularly monitor the Company’s ability to finance the needs of its operating,
financing and investing activities within the guidelines of prudent balance sheet management.

We currently have three assets with merchant revenues (Chile PV 1 and Chile PV 3, where we have a 35% ownership, and Lone Star II, where we have a 49% ownership) and one asset with
partially contracted revenues (Chile PV 2, where we have a 35% ownership). In addition, in several of the jurisdictions in which we operate including Spain, Chile and Italy we are exposed to remuneration schemes which contain both
regulated incentives and market price components. In such jurisdictions, the regulated incentive or the contracted component may not fully compensate for fluctuations in the market price component, and, consequently, total remuneration
may be volatile.
In addition, operating costs in certain of our existing or future projects depend to some extent on market prices of electricity used for self-consumption and, to a lower extent, on
market prices of natural gas. In Spain, for example, operating costs increased during 2021 and 2022 as a result of the increase in the price of electricity and natural gas.
|
We manage our exposure to electricity price risk by ensuring that most of our revenues are not exposed to fluctuations in electricity prices. As of September 30, 2023, assets with
merchant exposure represent less than a 2%3 of our portfolio in terms of Adjusted EBITDA. Regarding regulated assets with exposure to electricity market
prices, these assets have the right to receive a “reasonable rate of return” (see “Item 4—Information on the Company— Regulation”). As a result, fluctuations in market prices may cause volatility in results of operations and cash flows,
but it should not affect the net value of these assets.

Country risk
|
We consider that Algeria and South Africa, which represent a small portion of the portfolio in terms of cash available for distribution, are the geographies with a higher political risk
profile.
|
Most of the countries in which we have operations are OECD countries.
In 2019, we entered into a political risk insurance agreement with the Multinational Investment Guarantee Agency for Kaxu. The insurance provides protection for breach of contract up to
$47.0 million in the event that the South African Department of Mineral Resources and Energy does not comply with its obligations as guarantor. We also have a political risk insurance in place for two of our assets in Algeria for up to
$37.2 million, including two years of dividend coverage. These insurance policies do not cover credit risk.
