 Q1 2023 Earnings Presentation  May 5, 2023 
 

 DISCLAIMER  Forward Looking Statements  This presentation contains forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, all statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this presentation, including, without limitation, those regarding our future financial position and results of operations, our strategy, plans, objectives, goals and targets, future developments in the markets in which we operate or are seeking to operate. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as "anticipate," "believe," "could," "estimate," "expect,“, "guidance," "may," "plan,“ "should" or "will" or the negative of such terms or other similar expressions or terminology.  By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that may or may not occur in the future. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this presentation and are not guarantees of future performance and are based on numerous assumptions. Our actual results of operations, financial condition and the development of events may differ materially from (and be more negative than) those made in, or suggested by, the forward-looking statements. Except as required by law, we do not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect anticipated or unanticipated events or circumstances.  Investors should read the section entitled "Item 3.D.—Risk Factors" and the description of our segments and business sectors in the section entitled "Item 4.B. Information on the Company—Business Overview", each in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), for a more complete discussion of the risks and factors that could affect us.  Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements relating to: our anticipated exposure to current market risks, including the potential impact from foreign exchange rates and interest rates on cash available for distribution (“CAFD”); equity investments; CAFD estimates, including per currency, geography and sector; net corporate leverage based on CAFD estimates; debt refinancing; the performance of our long-term contracts; self-amortizing project debt structure and debt reduction; the use of non-GAAP measures as a useful tool for investors; the possibility to extend asset life; dividends; and various other factors, including those factors discussed under “Item 3.D.—Risk Factors” and “Item 5.A.—Operating Results” in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 filed with the SEC.  The CAFD guidance used in this presentation was estimated as of March 1, 2023. This estimate is based on assumptions believed to be reasonable as of the date Atlantica Sustainable Infrastructure plc (“Atlantica”, the “Company”, “we” or “us”) published its 2022 Financial Results. We disclaim any current intention to update such guidance, except as required by law.   Non-GAAP Financial Measures  This presentation also includes certain non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted EBITDA, CAFD and CAFD per share. 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 presentation for a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures included in this presentation to the most directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with IFRS as well as the reasons why management believes the use of non-GAAP financial measures (including CAFD, CAFD per share and Adjusted EBITDA) in this presentation provides useful information to investors.  In our discussion of operating results, we have included foreign exchange impacts in our revenue and Adjusted EBITDA 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 that 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 be a substitute for recorded amounts presented in conformity with IFRS as issued by the IASB nor should such amounts be considered in isolation. 
 

 Key Messages  Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA year-over-year growth of 1.5%1 and 4.0%1 in Q1 2023 on a comparable basis  Compared to Q1 2022, on a constant currency basis  Compared to Q1 2022, excluding $4.1 million from the sale of part of our equity interest in our development company in Colombia to a partner in Q1 2023.  Q1 2023 dividend of $0.445 per share  +12.1% year-over-year CAFD growth in Q1 2023 up to $61.0 million and +4.6%2 year-over-year growth on a comparable basis
