Voltalia (Euronext Paris, code ISIN: FR0011995588), an international player in renewable energies, publishes today its consolidated annual results for the year ended December 31, 2022. The accounts, for which audit procedures are underway, were approved by the Board of Directors at its meeting of March 22, 2023.

Voltalia will comment on its annual results for 2022 and its short and medium-term outlook at an information meeting to be held today at 8:30 a.m. Paris time. The meeting will be broadcasted via live video webcast. Full login details are available on our website: https://www.voltalia.com/fr/investor-relations.

2022 turnover increased and EBITDA was stable despite the sale in November 2021 of the VSM2 and VSM4 Brazilian plants, in line with the strategy, and a low level of resources. 2022 was operationally very dynamic with 442 megawatts commissioned and an increase of 884 megawatts in our plants under construction. This enabled us to reach our target of 2.6 gigawatts a year ahead of schedule, an increase of 52% in 2022., This momentum has prepared 2023: the full-year effect of the 2022 commissioning, the 2023 commissioning expected of on going constructions, the contractual indexation of turnover to inflation and the effects of the service contracts already signed, reinforce 2023 EBITDA target. At the same time, in order to move forward to our new 2027 target, we are proud to have won a record 1.1 gigawatts of long-term power sales contracts in 2022, which will be backed by new power plants," commented Sébastien Clerc, Voltalia’s CEO.

  • Turnover up despite lower production

Voltalia’s operating capacity was 1,571 MW at the end of December 2022, up to +39% year-on-year, with 442 MW commissioned, mainly SSM1-2 in Brazil, South Farm in the UK, Stavria in Greece and Carrière des Plaines in France, and Helexia’s solar roofs in France, Portugal, Italy and Hungary.

However, production is down by -13% to 3.7 terawatthours between 2021 and 2022. This change is explained by (i) the sale in November 2021 of the VSM2 and VSM4 wind farms in Brazil, which had produced 0.6 terawatthours in 2021, (ii) the weight of commissioning during the second half of the year, with no full-year effect in 2022, and (iii) lower resources than in 2021 due to unfavourable wind weather in Brazil and France, with load factors below the long-term average – but still higher than the country average, as in every year, illustrating Voltalia’s high selectivity for the best projects in the best locations.

Despite the decrease in production, 2022 turnover from Energy Sales is up by +18% (+6% at constant exchange rates) at €244.7 million.

Turnover growth was driven by the increase in the average sales price per MWh due to: (i) contractual sales prices that are mostly indexed to inflation, (ii) the exit from the scope of power plants with low prices per MWh, replaced by projects with higher prices and (iii) the strengthening of the Brazilian real.

The weighted average residual term of all electricity sales contracts is 16.5 years, representing €7.8 billion of future contracted turnover (+18% compared to 2021). 78% of the 2022 turnover from long-term power sales contracts is contractually indexed to inflation. This data illustrates Voltalia’s investment strategy, as power plants without long, indexed contracts are generally sold before construction, as are most subsidised projects.

  • EBITDA up

Energy Sales, although impacted by a lower resource in 2022 than the long-term average, generated an EBITDA of €143.1 million, up to +12% (+1% at constant exchange rates).

The EBITDA margin was 58%, down -4 points. With a wind and solar resource corresponding to the long-term average, the EBITDA margin would have been 62%.

EBITDA decreased by -7% (-11% at constant exchange rates), with an EBITDA margin of 9%, down 6 points
(-7 points at constant exchange rates).

  • Development, Construction and Equipment Procurement

The Development, Construction and Equipment Procurement segment shows a turnover of €319.4 million, up to +66% (+65% at constant exchange rates).

External turnover (to third party customers) increased by +52%. The business is growing rapidly thanks to sustained prospecting efforts. Development was driven by Brazil, while Construction and Equipment Procurement were dynamic in Europe and Africa. Equipment Procurement was the fastest growing business, as European demand has been particularly strong since the start of the war in Ukraine.

Internal turnover (eliminated on consolidation) increased by 99% thanks to the dynamism of the new power plants launched on the balance sheet of Voltalia and its subsidiary Helexia.

EBITDA for the Development, Construction and Equipment Procurement segment decreased by 11% in 2022 to €28.7 million. The EBITDA margin is 9%, down -8 points due to the combined effect of (i) the base effect of project disposals with the sale of VSM2 and VSM4 in 2021, (ii) inflation in the costs of certain equipments and services and (iii) the greater relative weight of Equipment Procurement, which is by nature low-risk and therefore less margined, than in 2021.

  • Operation and maintenance

Turnover from the Operation & Maintenance segment reached €32.9 million, up to +19% (+15% at constant exchange rates). New external contracts (for third party customers) were signed for 694 MW, including 376 MW in Europe and 318 MW in Brazil. New internal contracts (whose turnover is eliminated in consolidation) have followed the growth of Voltalia’s operating power plants.

At the end of 2022, the capacity under management for Voltalia and its third party customers is 4.4 GW (+29%), of which 2.8 GW (+17%) is for external customers, demonstrating the commercial success of the Group’s offering.

The segment showed €1.8 million EBITDA, multiplied by 2.7 in 2022 (and multiplied by 2.4 at constant exchange rates), benefiting from scale effects in a context of cost control.

EBITDA before eliminations and corporate items increased by +8% to €173.7 million. Eliminations were up, reflecting the growth in internal activity. Corporate items were also up, but at a much lower rate than overall activity, illustrating Voltalia’s ability to generate economies of scale. Consolidated EBITDA was €137.4 million, stable compared to 2021.

Depreciation, amortization and provisions amounted to 81.5 million, up +8%, mainly due to the depreciation of power plants commissioned in 2022, the full-year effect of power plants commissioned in 2021 and the deconsolidation of VSM2 and VSM4.

At €45 million, net financial expenses slightly increased by +2%, reflecting the rigorous hedging policy that provided effective protection against rising interest rates on loans. The financial result also reflects the increase in project debt and corporate facilities8 of which 323 million was repaid after the capital increase.

After taking into account minority interests and taxes, the net result, group share, amounts to -€7.2 million, compared to -€1.3 million in 2021.

SIMPLIFIED CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEET

Voltalia's balance sheet at the end of 2022 reached €3 billion, up to +44%.

Provisions 26 14
Other current and non-current liabilities 357 315
Total liabilities 3,035 2,113

With fixed assets up by +37%, the growth in the Group's assets is essentially linked to the increase in power plants in operation and, even more so, those under construction.

Other assets amounted to €490 million at the end of 2022 and were up €256 million, of which (i) €201 million mainly corresponded to the increase in inventories, supplier advances and trade and tax receivables due to the growth of activities, including power plant projects under construction and (ii) €54 million increase in financial assets related to our hedging policy.

The cash position stands at €384 million, up to +32% compared to the end of 2021. This level compares with total financial debt of €1,313 million at the end of 2022, up to +25%, in line with the growth of fixed assets. 

Equity is up 83%, mainly due to the successful capital increase in December 2022.

The capital increase is also the main reason for the decrease of about 10 points in leverage Debt leverage9, which stands at 41%.

NEW ANNOUNCEMENTS OF THE GROUP

Future contracted turnover up to €7.8 billion (+18%)

Voltalia announced today that its long-term visibility has further improved with future turnover secured by electricity sales contracts amounting to €7.8 billion at the end of December 2022 (+€1.2 billion vs. 2021), i.e. x16.6 of 2022 turnover. This particularly high level is the result of Voltalia's strategy of seeking very long-term electricity sales contracts covering most of the production of the power plants in its portfolio.

Expansion of the portfolio of projects in development: 14.2 GW (+28%)

Voltalia announced today that its portfolio of projects under development, to be retained or sold with construction and maintenance services, amounted to 14.2 GW at the end of December 2022, an increase of +3.1 GW in one year. Illustrating the growing importance of the geographical diversification strategy, this portfolio is split 38%, 38% and 24% in Latin America, Europe and Africa respectively. In terms of technology, solar is the majority, at 65%, followed by wind at 29% and other technologies at 6%.

In French Guiana, construction of the Sinnamary biomass plant, an investment of €200 million

Voltalia today announced the construction of the largest biomass power plant in French Guyana (10.6 MW). Developed, built and owned by Voltalia, the plant will make use of the wood immersed in the lake of the Petit-Saut dam, harvested and processed by a Voltalia subsidiary: Triton. The project, which should be commissioned in the first half of 2025, represents an investment of around €200 million. The electricity produced by the biomass plant is covered by a 25-year sales contract. Voltalia has already been operating the Kourou (1.7 MW) and Cacao (5.1 MW) biomass plants in French Guiana since 2011 and 2020 respectively.

New construction contracts in Ireland for 142 MW

Voltalia today announced that Power Capital, a leading Irish independent company majority owned by French renewable energy pioneer Omnes, has selected Voltalia to build, operate and maintain its three photovoltaic projects in the south-east of the Republic of Ireland with a combined capacity of 142 MW.

Increase in the amount of the recent impact syndicated loan10

Voltalia announces today that the amount of its recently signed impact credit facility has been increased to €280 million, with Mizuho Bank joining the banking syndicate. This new credit line replicates the innovative framework of those put in place in 2019 and 2021: the interest rate may be subsidised depending on the achievement of certain Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) criteria. The increase announced today brings the total amount of corporate bank credit facilities available to the Group to €520 million.

2023 AMBITIONS CONFIRMED

Voltalia highlights that its target of 2.6 GW of capacity in operation and under construction, planned to be reached by the end of 2023, was achieved at the end of 202216, one year ahead of schedule.

Voltalia also reiterates its 2023 normalised EBITDA17 target between €275 and €300 million.
Voltalia announces that €235 million of 2023 normalised EBITDA has already been secured by existing energy sales and services sales contracts:

  • Approximately €223 million in its Energy Sales activity (before eliminations), resulting from (i) the effect of the contractual indexation of turnover on inflation for plants older than one year, (ii) the full-year effect for plants commissioned in 2022 and (iii) the production of plants that have been and will be commissioned in 2023 (1 GW is currently under construction, of which 0.8 GW will start production before the end of the year);
  • Approximately €57 million in its Services activity (before eliminations) from contracts signed by the segments (i) Development, Construction and Equipment Procurement and (ii) Operations & Maintenance; and
  • Approximately -€45 million of eliminations and corporate items.

Voltalia expects to sign new contracts later this year that will generate additional normalised EBITDA to achieve the 2023 target while preparing for the following years.

2027 AMBITIONS REAFFIRMED

Voltalia confirms its objectives set last October as part of its new growth plan for 2027, namely

- Capacity in operation and construction: over 5 GW;

- Capacity operated on behalf of third parties: over 8 GW;

- Normalised EBITDA18: around €475 million;

- CO2-equivalent avoided: over 4 million tonnes.

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING
