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.
|

|
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 2024 CAFD guidance before corporate debt service. CAFD before corporate debt service
is calculated as CAFD plus corporate debt interest paid by Atlantica.

In April 2024, Atlantica acquired the Imperial project, a 100 MW PV + storage project in Southern California. On May 6, 2024 the project entered into a 15-year PPA with an investment grade off-taker. Imperial is a well contracted
project that benefits from synergies with the existing assets in California.
|
- |
On March 22, 2024, the Company closed the acquisition of a 100% equity interest stake in two operating wind assets, with 32 MW combined capacity, located in Scotland, UK. The assets are regulated under the UK green attribute
regulation. The investment was approximately $66 million and the assets currently do not have any project debt. These are Atlantica’s first operating assets in the UK, and the expected return from these assets will be enhanced by the
use of our existing net operating loss carryforwards in the UK in the upcoming years.
|
- |
In April 2024, Chile PV 3 signed a 10-year PPA covering part of the production of the PV plant in operation and the 142 MWh battery storage expansion under construction. Under the PPA, the asset is expected to sell the electricity at
a fixed price per MWh denominated in U.S. dollars and indexed to the US CPI. The PPA benefits from a higher price, given that the electricity is delivered during the night. Our investment is expected to be between $14 million and $15
million and COD is expected in 2024.
|
- |
In May 2024, we approved a 27.5 MWDC/22 MWAC project in Spain for which we are in advanced
negotiations to sign a PPA. Total investment is expected to be between $16 million and $18 million, with expected COD in early 2026.

Only includes projects estimated to be ready to build before or in 2030 of approximately 3.8 GW, 2.2 GW of renewable energy and 1.6 GW of storage (equivalent to 6.0
GWh). Capacity measured by multiplying the size of each project by Atlantica’s ownership. Potential expansions of transmission lines not included.

• |
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.
