Production in the renewable energy portfolio increased by 15.2% for the first quarter of 2021 compared with the first quarter of 2020 mainly thanks to the contribution of the recent investments in solar assets and higher solar radiation and production in some assets. In the United States, production was slightly lower than in the same period of 2020 due to scheduled major maintenance works on one of the Mojave turbines in the first quarter of 2021.
 
ACT, the efficient natural gas power asset, had scheduled maintenance stops that caused lower availability and production levels, though without impact on revenue. In water, the decrease in availability was largely due to the installation of some new safety-related equipment at our new asset while transmission lines continue to deliver solid performance with high availability levels.
 
Revenue for the first quarter of 2021 was $235.2 million, an 11.8% increase compared with the first quarter of 2020, mostly thanks to the contribution of new assets, foreign exchange differences and higher solar resource and production in some assets.
 
Liquidity and Debt
 
As of March 31, 2021, cash at Atlantica’s corporate level was $434.2 million ($304.2 million after deducting the $130 million paid for Coso in April 2021), compared with $335.2 million as of December 31, 2020. Additionally, as of March 31, 2021, the Company had $440.0 million available under its Revolving Credit Facility and therefore a total corporate liquidity of $874.2 million, compared with $750.2 million as of December 31, 2020. On March 1, 2021, the Revolving Credit Facility’s maturity was extended to December 31, 2023, increasing the total limit from $425 million to $450 million.
 
As of March 31, 2021, net project debt6 was $4.58 billion, compared with $4.70 billion as of December 31, 2020, while net corporate debt7 was $531.1 million, compared with $658.5 million as of December 31, 2020. The net corporate debt / CAFD pre-corporate debt service ratio8 was 2.6x9 as of March 31, 2021, including the impact of Coso investment. As of March 31, 2021, our average corporate debt maturity stands at approximately five years.
 
6  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.
7  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.
8  Net corporate leverage is calculated as corporate net debt divided by midpoint 2021 CAFD guidance before corporate debt service. CAFD pre-corporate debt service is calculated as CAFD plus corporate debt interest paid by Atlantica.
9  For net corporate leverage ratio calculation purposes, corporate net debt as of March 31, 2021, has been calculated to      include $130M equity investment paid in April 2021 and $40M of project debt pre-payment expected to occur in July 2021. As a result, net corporate debt increased by $170M to $701M. CAFD has not been changed. Absent such adjustment to corporate cash and net corporate debt, the ratio of corporate net debt / CAFD pre-corporate debt service was 2.0x.

Dividend
 
On May 4, 2021, the Board of Directors of Atlantica approved a dividend of $0.43 per share. This dividend is expected to be paid on June 15, 2021 to shareholders of record as of May 31, 2021.
 
Credit Rating Update
 
During the first quarter of 2021, Atlantica’s Corporate Rating was upgraded by S&P and Fitch:
 
•
On March 31, 2021, Fitch Ratings upgraded Atlantica’s Corporate Rating to BB+ (Stable Outlook). According to Fitch, the upgrade reflects the successful execution of Atlantica’s financing program, the stable and predictable nature of contracted cash flows and a well-diversified portfolio regarding geographical exposure and asset class.

•
On April 16, 2021, S&P Global Ratings also upgraded Atlantica’s Corporate Rating to BB+ (Stable Outlook), highlighting the increased scale, stable performance, and corporate leverage in line with the BB+ rating level. They also affirmed the senior secured debt at BBB-.
 
Growth
 
1.
Acquisition of a 49% equity interest in a 596 MW wind portfolio
 
In April 2021, Atlantica reached an agreement to acquire a 49% interest in a 596 MW portfolio of four wind assets in Illinois, Texas, Oregon, and Minnesota. Total equity investment is expected to be approximately $196.510 million which represents an Enterprise Value11 / EBITDA12 multiple of approximately 5.9 times. The assets have PPAs with investment grade off-takers and have a proven operational track record. Closing is expected in the third quarter of 2021 subject to customary conditions and regulatory approvals.
 
10 Subject to certain customary adjustments.
11 Enterprise Value is defined as the expected investment divided by the 49% equity interest agreed to be acquired. The asset has no debt.
12 EBITDA is calculated as profit/(loss) of the portfolio for the year 2020 after adding back depreciation, amortization and impairment charges. There were no financing costs or income tax in 2020 in this portfolio (see reconciliation on page 15).

2.
Investments closed
 
During the first four months of 2021, Atlantica closed two previously announced investments:
 
•
Coso: On April 7, 2021, Atlantica closed the acquisition of a 135 MW renewable asset in California. Coso is the third largest geothermal plant in the United States and provides base load renewable energy to the California Independent System Operator. It has PPAs signed with three investment grade off-takers, with an average 19-year contract life. The total equity investment was approximately $130 million, and the Company expects to make an additional investment of approximately $40 million to reduce project debt in the third quarter of 2021.
 
•
Chile PV 2: On January 6, 2021, Atlantica closed its second investment via its renewable energy platform in Chile with the acquisition of Chile PV 2, a 40 MW solar PV plant with partially contracted revenues.
 
The Company expects to close its previously announced acquisitions of Calgary District Heating and La Sierpe during the second quarter and mid-2021, respectively.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
 
This press release also includes certain non-GAAP financial measures, including EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA including unconsolidated affiliates, Adjusted EBITDA including unconsolidated affiliates as a percentage of revenues (margin) and CAFD. 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 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 EBITDA, CAFD and Adjusted EBITDA including unconsolidated affiliates) 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:
 
8
  
   
•
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 EBITDA, 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.
 
EBITDA has been used in this press release exclusively for the announced acquisition of a wind portfolio in the United States. EBITDA has been calculated as profit/(loss) of the portfolio for the year 2020 after adding back depreciation, amortization, and impairment changes. There were no financing costs or income tax in 2020 in this portfolio.
 
We define Adjusted EBITDA including unconsolidated affiliates as profit/(loss) for the period attributable to the Company, after adding back loss/(profit) attributable to non-controlling interest, profit/(loss) from discontinued operations, income tax, share of profit/(loss) of associates carried under the equity method, finance expense net, depreciation, amortization and impairment charges. CAFD is calculated as cash distributions received by the Company from its subsidiaries minus cash expenses of the Company, including third party debt service and general and administrative expenses.
 
Our management believes EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA including unconsolidated affiliates and CAFD 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.
 
9
  
   
Our management believes CAFD is a relevant supplemental measure of the Company’s ability to earn and distribute cash returns to investors and is 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 is used by our management team for determining future acquisitions and managing our growth. Adjusted EBITDA and CAFD are widely used by other companies in the same industry.
 
Our management uses EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and CAFD as measures of operating performance to assist in comparing performance from period to period on a consistent basis. 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 including unconsolidated affiliates 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.
