ABENGOA Consolidated financial statements Page 18 Note 2. -Summary of significant accounting policies The significant accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements are set forth below. have been prepared in accordance with this basis. However, during the second half of 2015 a series of events have occurred which have negatively impacted the liquidity and financial structure of the Company. The aforementioned events have been duly communicated to the market and are summarized below. On July 31, 2015, during the first half earnings call with investors, Abengoa announced a downward adjustment to their FY2015 forecast regarding Free Corporate Cash Flow from operations from the €1,300 million target to €600 – 800 million. This adjustment to our forecast was mainly attributable to higher capital expenditures than expected in highly profitable but cash intensive projects in Brazil, Chile and Mexico. 2.1. Basis of presentation The Consolidated Financial Statements as of December 31, 2015 have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards adopted by the European Union (IFRS-EU), so that they present the Group’s equity and financial position as of December 31, 2015 and the consolidated results of its operations, the changes in the consolidated net equity and the consolidated cash flows for the financial year ending on that date. Even though in accordance with the abovementioned forecasts the Company´s liquidity position was not going to be affected, the Board publicly announced on August 3, 2015 their intention to propose an Extraordinary General Shareholders´ Meeting to approve a capital increase of €650 million with preferential subscription rights for shareholders, an additional package of asset disposals and the implementation of a business model with lower investment requirements (capex), aimed at improving the liquidity position of Abengoa and reducing its dependence on leverage. Unless otherwise stated, the accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently throughout all periods presented within these Consolidated Financial Statements. From August 3, 2015 onward, increasing market uncertainty caused a descent in the market value of Abengoa’s listed equity and debt instruments, which both limited our access to debt and capital markets and, at the same time, contributed to a slowdown of the pace of approval or renewal, by financial institutions, of non-recourse factoring and confirming without recourse used by the Group for managing its working capital. All of this contributed to a descent in Abengoa’s liquidity position. On that date, Abengoa started a negotiation period with a group of financial entities aimed at reaching an agreement in order to secure the abovementioned capital increase. The Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, modified by the revaluation of certain fixed assets under IFRS 1 and those situations where IFRS-EU requires that certain assets are measured at fair value. The preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements has been done according to IFRS-EU regulations and the going concern Principle (see Note 2.1.1). This preparation requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates as well as Management judgment in applying Abengoa’s accounting policies. Note 3 provides further information on those areas which involve a higher degree of judgment or areas of complexity for which the assumptions or estimates made are significant to the financial statements. On September 24, 2015, Abengoa announced both the agreement reached with the financial institutions and the approval of its Board of Directors of a set of strategic measures, which would be adapted during its execution, aimed at reducing corporate leverage, improving the liquidity position of Abengoa and strengthening its corporate governance, as well as the underwriting by financial entities of the capital increase. The amounts included within the documents comprising the Consolidated Financial Statements (Consolidated Financial Statements of Financial Position, Consolidated Income Statement, Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity, Consolidated Cash Flow Statement and notes herein) are, unless otherwise stated, all expressed in thousands of euros. Regarding this agreement, a group of banks and two of the main shareholders committed to underwrite and/or subscribe the capital increase for an aggregate of €650 million, consisting of: Any presented percentage of interest in subsidiaries, joint ventures (including temporary joint operations) and associates includes both direct and indirect ownership. › These banks entered into an agreement with the Company pursuant to which they undertook to underwrite €465 million in Class B shares to be issued in the capital increase, subject to certain conditions being met, including, among others, obtainment of regulatory and shareholder approvals, completion of ongoing financial and other due diligence, entry into a definitive underwriting agreement and satisfaction of the shareholders’ subscription commitments; 2.1.1. Going concern According to International Accounting Standard 1, which states that an entity shall prepare its financial statements on a going concern basis unless management either intends to liquidate the entity or to cease the activity, or has no realistic alternative but to do so, these Consolidated Financial Statements Annual Report 2015

After assessing the options provided by the situation described above and in order to ensure the most stable status as possible to negotiate with creditors, the Board of Directors considered the most appropriate option was to seek protection under article 5 bis of the Ley Concursal (Ley 22/2003, Ley Concursal).

ABENGOA Consolidated financial statements Page 20 Additionally, both Inversión Corporativa IC, S.A. and Finarpisa, S.A., currently the main shareholders of Abengoa (see Note 18) also filed the communication set forth under article 5 bis of the Ley Concursal. the future activity of Abengoa on an operating basis focusing on the Activity of Engineering and Construction either developing its own technology or using technology developed by others. Further, on January 29, 2016, Abengoa´s subsidiaries´ Abengoa Concessões Brasil Holding S.A, Abengoa Construção Brasil Ltda and Abengoa Greenfield Brasil Holding S.A filed requests for creditors protection (recuperação judicial), which were admitted on February 22, 2016. This protective measure was undertaken provided that the Company incurred in a “Crise econômico scenario”, which is contemplated in Brazillian Law 11.101/05. “Recuperação judicial” consists in a proceeding envisaged in the Brazillian Law which allows corporations to restructure their debt in an orderly manner and continue as a going concern once the financial difficulties are overcome. In accordance with this plan, which confirms the viability of Abengoa, the Company will negotiate with its creditors a debt restructuring as well as the necessary resources, and then, provided to Abengoa the optimal capital structure and the liquidity enough to continue its activity and operate in a competitive and sustainable manner in the future. In this sense, and in relation to the negotiations between the Company and a group of its creditors comprised of banks and holders of bonds issued by the Group, as of March 10, 2016, the Company informed that it has agreed with the advisers of such creditors the grounds for an agreement to restructure the financial indebtedness and recapitalize the Group. The Company believes that such agreement contains the essential elements to achieve a future restructuring agreement that, in any event, will be subject to reaching the percentage of accessions required by law. Further, on February 1, 2016 and February 10, 2016, certain creditors initiated involuntary bankruptcy petitions against both the Group affiliates Abengoa Bioenergy Nebraska, LLC and Abengoa Bioenergy Company, LLC. After responding to the petitions, on February 24, 2016, both companies mentioned above along with Abengoa Bioenergy Outsourcing, LLC, Abengoa Bioenergy Engineering and Construction, LLC, Abengoa Bioenergy Trading US, LLC, and Abengoa Bioenergy Holding US, LLC opted to file for voluntary creditors´ protection under Chapter 11 envisaged in the USA Law. These petitions have been filed in order to allow the Company to continue as a going concern and, consequently, they included an authorization request for the payment of taxes, salaries and insurance premiums and other first day motions. Additionally, a request for the approval of a debtor-in-possession financing arrangement amounting to USD 41 million was also filed. The hearing for these initial motions took place on March 2, 2016 and, during them, such companies were authorized to borrow an initial amount of USD 8 million (which were additionally complemented with USD 1.5 million authorized on March 29, 2016). The final hearing for the approval of the remaining amount is scheduled by April 6, 2016. The fundamental principles of such agreement are the following: (i) The new money that would be lent to the Company would range between 1,500 and €1,800 million for a maximum term of 5 years. Creditors would be entitled to 55% of the share capital. This financing would rank senior with respect to the old debt and would be guaranteed by certain assets, including free shares of Atlantica Yield. (ii) The amount of the old debt that would be capitalized would correspond to 30% of its nominal value. Such capitalization grants the right to subscribe 35% of the new share capital (iii) The financial indebtedness corresponding to the liquidity lines granted to the group on September 23 and December 24, 2015 (material fact number 233503) for a total amount of €231 million (plus accrued financial expenses) will be subject to refinancing by extending the term by two (2) years. This indebtedness would be secured by the shares of Atlantica Yield and would be prepaid in case of sale of the shares of Atlantica Yield or issuance of an exchangeable bond on such shares. Moreover, on March 23, 2016, certain creditors filed an involuntary insolvency proceeding against Abengoa Bioenergy Biomass of Kansas, LLC at the Kansas court. Also on March 29, the following American companies Abeinsa Holding Inc.; Abencor USA, LLC; Teyma Construction USA, LLC; Abeinsa EPC, LLC; Inabensa USA, LLC; Nicsa Industrial Supplies, LLC; Abener Construction Services, LLC; Abener North America Construction, LP; Abengoa Solar, LLC; Teyma USA & Abener Engineering and Construction Services General Partnership; Abeinsa Abener Teyma General Partnership; Abener Teyma Mojave General Partnership; and Abener Teyma Inabensa JV filed, under the “United States Bankruptcy Code” and the Delaware court, the named Chapter 11 in order to allow the companies to comply with their obligations and minimize the loss of value of their businesses. Such companies have requested authorization for the payment of taxes, salaries and insurances as well as other first day motions. The hearing to resolve these requests is scheduled by March 31, 2016. (iv) The amount of the share capital increase that would be reserved to those creditors, who provide €800 million of the bank guarantees requested, would be 5% of the new capital. (v) At the end of the restructuring process, the current shareholders of the Company would hold around 5 % of the share capital. Eventually, they could increase such stake in a percentage to be agreed that will not exceed an additional 5%, if, within five (5) years, the group has paid in full all outstanding amounts under the new financing to be provided in the framework of the restructuring and under the existing indebtedness (as this indebtedness may have been restructured), including its financial costs. It is expected that the two types of shares now existing will be merged into one sole class of shares. On January 25, 2016, the Company announced that the independent consulting firm Alvarez&Marsal presented to the Board of Directors of Abengoa the Industrial Viability Plan that defined the structure of Annual Report 2015

 


ABENGOA Consolidated financial statements Page 21 At the date of formulating the present Consolidated Financial Statements, Abengoa and a group of creditors comprised of banks and holders of bonds issued by Abengoa had reached a standstill agreement with the objective of providing the time necessary to keep working and reaching as soon as possible a full and complete agreement on the terms and conditions to restructure the financial indebtedness and recapitalize the Group. Thus, the main impacts on the Company´s Profit and loss as of December 31, 2015, which amounts to approximately €878 million refers mainly to the estimation of costs in the last quarter related to the stoppage in the last quarter of the concessional projects under construction and subsequent restart, impairment of some assets pertaining to some projects affected by the company situation, default interests and other additional concepts. Additionally, given the current situation of the Company, determined by article 5 bis of the Ley Concursal and pending to have greater visibility about the realization of the Industrial Viability Plan, Abengoa´s Directors have decided not to recognize the deferred tax assets arising from capitalizing the fiscal effect from those adjustments that might be recovered in the future, according to the aforementioned Viability Plan. With respect to the foregoing, as of March 28, 2016, it had filed with the Mercantile Court of Seville nº 2 an application for the judicial approval of the standstill agreement (the “Standstill Agreement”) which has obtained the support of 75.04% of the financial creditors to which it was addressed, being therefore over the legally required majority (60%). However, according to the terms of the Standstill Agreement, new creditors can adhere to the Standstill Agreement until the date in which the Judge resolves, therefore, the percentage could be increased. The following table shows the breakdown of such impacts (in million of euros) In addition, on March 28 was initiated, according to what is stated on clause 5.2 of the standstill agreement, the Chapter 15 of the United States Bankruptcy Code and at the Delaware court, which consist on the proceeding provided for the recognition in United States of the judicial approval of the standstill agreement initiated in Spain on March 28. In a hearing scheduled on March 31, 2016 it will be asked about a compliance to provisional approval awaiting for enforcement actions to be initiated by any creditor. Item Total Project Construction costs (see Note 5.1 a) (383) Impairment of assets pertaining to projects (see Note 5.1 d) (301) Tax credits (see Note 31) (234) Remuneration plan payment Reversal (see Note 29) 43 Default interests and other (3) As stated at the beginning of this Note to the Consolidated Financial Statements, Abengoa´s Directors have deemed it appropriate to prepare these Consolidated Financial Statements as of December 31, 2015 on a going concern. Such determination was made based on management’s assumption that an agreement with financial creditors of the Company will be attained so the Company´s financial stability can be secured, allowing Abengoa to be able to generate cash from operations in accordance with the Industrial Viability Plan developed by Alvarez&Marsal according to paragraphs 25 and 26 of IAS 1 “Presentation of Financial Statements”. In addition to the above mentioned impacts, Abengoa´s Consolidated Equity reflects the effects of the general slowdown, and stoppages in certain cases, of operations in the activities Abengoa is engaged in from the beginning of last August and, especially, in the last quarter of 2015. All this has been generated as a consequence of both its deteriorating liquidity position, from Abengoa´s difficulties in accessing the capital markets, and the cancelling or non - renewal, by financial institutions, of working capital credit lines (amounting to approximately €1,000 million since such date), and which eventually led to the Company´s filing of creditors protection under article 5 bis of the Ley Concursal. Based on the application of the going concern basis, Abengoa´s Directors have prepared these Consolidated Financial Statements applying the International Accounting Standards consistently with Consolidated Interim Financial Statements and Consolidated Financial Statements filed in prior periods. For that purpose, and according to the aforementioned accounting framework, Abengoa´s Directors have made their best estimates and assumptions (see Note 3) in order to record the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses as of December 31, 2015 in accordance with the existing information by the time of furnishing these Consolidated Financial Statements. Abengoa´s Directors are confident on reaching a final agreement with creditors and, once signed, the achievement of the Viability Plan associated with the Groups ability to generate cash from operations will allow the Company to restore the confidence of stakeholders, the steadiness of its liquidity position and its ability to keep improving in the future. Abengoa´s consolidated net equity as of December 31, 2015 is mainly driven by the current situation in which the Group is involved, which has caused the recording of either provisions or impairment charges in some of the assets. These have been recorded as a result of the best estimates and assumptions made by Abengoa´s Directors according to the measures agreed upon in the abovementioned Industrial Viability Plan which, according to the applicable accounting and reporting framework, must be recorded as of that date.

ABENGOA Consolidated financial statements Page 23 When the Company has less than a majority of the voting rights of an investee, it has power over the investee when the voting rights are sufficient to give it the practical ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee unilaterally. The Company considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether or not the Company’s voting rights in an investee are sufficient to give it power, including: basically identified in the following two completely different phases each other. On the one hand the construction phase and, on the other, the operation phase. Each of the aforementioned phases has fully independent activities and decisions on which the compliance with the control requirements stated above should be assessed. During the construction phase of the projects under review, the activity related to that phase is › the size of the Company’s holding of voting rights relative to the size and dispersion of holdings of the other vote holders; developed under general conditions of a framework agreement, where the relevant decisions are related to the approval of the structure and specific features of the project financing (in terms of disposition, guarantees, maturities, cost, etc.) and the approval of the execution/construction costs of the project and the existence of a third party related to the project (Grantor, regulator, partner, etc.) which participates actively in the relevant decision-making during the construction phase. In these cases, given the level of involvement of the third party in the construction project, several measures of participation, control and approval thereof are set in the case of carrying out actions that may influence the relevant aforementioned actions. › potential voting rights held by the Company, other vote holders or other parties; › rights arising from other contractual arrangements; and › any additional facts and circumstances that indicate that the Company has, or does not have, the current ability to direct the relevant activities at the time that decisions need to be made, including voting patterns at previous shareholders’ meetings. During the operation phase of the project under review, the activity related to that phase is developed under the normal industry conditions of the sector to which the project belongs, in which the relevant decisions are related to business management (in terms of production process, yields based on operating costs, financing costs, amortizations, investments, budget approval, etc.) and the corporate governance (in terms of sharing dividends, capital increases/reductions, business plan, etc.) In this phase, the third party that was related to project during the construction phase has ceased to exercise control after having accomplished their objectives in terms of construction and entry into production of the asset as agreed. Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Company obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Company loses control of the subsidiary. The value of non-controlling interest in equity and the consolidated results are shown, respectively, under non-controlling interests’ in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position and ‘Profit attributable to non-controlling interests’ in the Consolidated Income Statements. Profit for the period and each component of other comprehensive income are attributed to the owners of the Company and to the non-controlling interests. Total comprehensive income of subsidiaries is attributed to the owners of the Company and to the non-controlling interests even if this results of the non-controlling interests has a total negative balance. As stated in IFRS 10, paragraph B13, when two or more investors have the current ability to direct relevant activities and those activities occur at different times, the investors shall determine which investor is able to manage the activities that most significantly affect those returns consistently with the treatment of concurrent decision-making rights. When necessary, adjustments are made to the Financial Statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies in line with the Group’s accounting policies. In this sense, an assessment, is periodically carried out to determine whether relevant activities related to the construction phase affect more significantly to the income of these projects and investments due to the effect of those decisions throughout the life of themselves and therefore to determine whether the projects are controlled. All intragroup assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between members of the Group are fully eliminated on consolidation. Abengoa develops a part of its activity by developing integrated products that consist of designing, constructing, financing, operating and maintaining a project (usually a large-scale asset such as a power transmission line, desalination plants, thermo-solar plants, etc.), usually owned under a B-O-T concession arrangement (Build – Operate – Transfer) for a specific period of time (usually 2-3 years) and then though a long term non-recourse financing scheme (project finance). For those cases where a lack of control in the construction phase is determined, the participation is registered under the equity method. Once the project enters in the operating phase, as Abengoa takes control, such participations are registered under the global integration method. In order to evaluate the control of these projects, it is necessary to address the corporate purpose of these projects finance to assess the decision making process. In this sense, all relevant decisions are Annual Report 2015

 


ABENGOA Consolidated financial statements Page 24 The Group uses the acquisition method to account for business combinations. According to this method, the remuneration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary corresponds to the fair value of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred and the equity interests issued by the Group and includes the fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent remuneration agreement. Any transferred contingent remuneration is recognized at fair value at the acquisition date and subsequent changes in its fair value are recognized in accordance with IAS 39 either in profit or loss or as a change to other comprehensive income. Acquisition related costs are expensed as incurred. Identifiable assets acquired, liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. The Group recognizes any non-controlling interest in the acquiree either at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the acquirer’s net assets on an acquisition basis. The results and assets and liabilities of associates or joint ventures are incorporated in these Consolidated Financial Statements using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method, an investment in an associate or a joint venture is initially recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Financial position at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognize the Group’s share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the associate or joint venture. When the Group’s share of losses of an associate or a joint venture exceeds the Group’s interest in that associate or joint venture, the Group discontinues recognizing its share of further losses. Additional losses are recognized only to the extent that the Group has incurred legal or implicit obligations or payments made on behalf of the associate or joint venture. An investment in an associate or a joint venture is accounted using the equity method since the date on which the investee becomes an associate or a joint venture. To account the sale or loss of control of subsidiaries, the Group derecognizes the assets, liabilities and all non-controlling interests of the subsidiary at the date of loss of control by their carrying amounts. The fair value of the payment received is also recognized, if any, from the transaction, events or circumstances giving rise to the loss of control, including if any the distribution of shares of the subsidiary to owners as well as the retained investment in the former subsidiary at fair value on the date of loss of control. Amounts recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to the subsidiary are transferred to profit and loss and the difference is recognized as a profit or loss attributable to the parent. The loss of control of a subsidiary may occur in two or more agreements (transactions). In some cases, it may exists circumstances that justify that the multiple agreements should be accounted as a single transaction. Profits and losses resulting from the transactions of the Company with the associate or joint venture are recognized in the Group’s Consolidated Financial Statements only to the extent of interests in the associate or joint venture that are not related to the Group. In compliance with Article 155 of Spanish Corporate Law (Ley de Sociedades de Capital), the parent company has notified to all these companies that, either by itself or through another subsidiary, it owns more than 10% shares of their capital. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014 there are no significant contingent liabilities in the Group’s interests in associates and joint ventures, additional to those described in Note 22.2. In compliance with Article 155 of Spanish Corporate Law (Ley de Sociedades de Capital), the parent company has notified all these companies that, either by itself or through another subsidiary, it owns more than 10% shares of their capital. Appendix VIII lists the Companies external to the Group which have a share equal to or greater than 10% of a subsidiary of the parent company under the consolidation scope. c) Interest in joint operations and temporary joint operations (UTE) A joint operation is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the assets, and obligations for the liabilities, relating to the arrangement. Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control of an arrangement, which exists only when decisions about the relevant activities require unanimous consent of the parties sharing control. b) Associates and joint ventures An associate is an entity over which the Group has significant influence. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee but is not control or joint control over those policies. When a group entity undertakes its activities under joint operations, the Group, as a joint operator, recognizes in relation to its interest in a joint operation: › Its assets, including its share of any assets held jointly. A joint venture, as opposed to a joint operation described in section c) below, is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the net assets of the joint arrangement. Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control of an arrangement, which exists only when decisions about the relevant activities require unanimous consent of the parties sharing control. › Its liabilities, including its share of any liabilities incurred jointly. › Its share of the revenue from the sale of the output by the joint operation. › Its expenses, including its share of any expenses incurred jointly. Annual Report 2015

 


ABENGOA Consolidated financial statements Page 25 When a Group’s entity transacts with a joint operation in which a group entity is a joint operator (such as a purchase of assets), the Group does not recognize its share of the gains and losses until it resells those assets to a third party. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014 there are no significant material contingent liabilities in relation to the Group’s shareholdings in the UTE, additional to those described in Note 22.2. d) Transactions with non-controlling interests ‘Unión Temporal de Empresas’ (UTE) are temporary joint operations generally formed to execute specific commercial and/or industrial projects in a wide variety of areas and particularly in the fields of engineering and construction and infrastructure projects. They are normally used to combine the characteristics and qualifications of the UTE’s partners into a single proposal in order to obtain the most favorable technical assessment possible. UTE are normally limited as standalone entities with limited action, since, although they may enter into commitments in their own name, such commitments are generally undertaken by their partners, in proportion to each investor’s share in the UTE. Transactions with non-controlling interests are accounted for as transactions with equity owners of the group. When the Group acquires non-controlling interests, the difference between any consideration paid and the carrying value of the proportionate share of net assets acquired is recorded in equity. Gains or losses on disposals of non-controlling interests are also recorded in equity. When the group ceases to have control or significant influence, any retained interest in the entity is remeasured to its fair value, and any difference between fair value and its carrying amount is recognized in profit or loss. In addition, any amount previously recognized in other comprehensive income in respect of that entity is accounted for as if the group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. The partners’ shares in the UTE normally depend on their contributions (quantitative or qualitative) to the project, are limited to their own tasks and are intended solely to generate their own specific results. Each partner is responsible for executing its own tasks and does so in its own interests. Companies and entities which are third parties the Group and which hold a share equal to or larger than 10% in the share capital of any company included in the consolidation group are disclosed in Appendix VIII. The fact that one of the UTE’s partners acts as project manager does not affect its position or share in the UTE. The UTE’s partners are collectively responsible for technical issues, although there are strict pari passu clauses that assign the specific consequences of each investor’s correct or incorrect actions. 2.3. Intangible assets They normally do not have assets and liabilities on a stand alone basis. Their activity is conducted for a specific period of time that is normally limited to the execution of the project. The UTE may own certain fixed assets used in carrying out its activity, although in this case they are generally acquired and used jointly by all the UTE’s investors, for a period similar to the project’s duration, or prior agreements are signed by the partners on the assignment or disposal of the UTE’s assets upon completion of the project. a) Goodwill Goodwill is recognized as the excess between (A) and (B), where (A) is the sum of the considerations transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and in the case of a business combination achieved in stages, the fair value on the acquisition date of the previously held interest in the acquiree and (B) the net value, at the acquisition date, of the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed, measured at fair value. If the resulting amount is negative, in the case of a bargain purchase, the difference is recognized as income directly in the Consolidated Income Statement. UTE in which the Company participates are operated through a management committee comprised of equal representation from each of the temporary joint operation partners, and such committee makes all the decisions about the temporary joint operation’s activities that have a significant effect on its success. All the decisions require consent of each of the parties sharing power, so that all the parties together have the power to direct the activities of the UTE. Each partner has rights to the assets and obligations relating to the arrangement. As a result, these temporary joint operations are consolidated proportionally. Goodwill relating to the acquisition of subsidiaries is included in intangible assets, while goodwill relating to associates is included in investments in associates. Goodwill is carried at initial value less accumulated impairment losses (see Note 2.8). Goodwill is allocated to Cash Generating Units (CGU) for the purposes of impairment testing, these CGU’s being the units which are expected to benefit from the business combination that generated the goodwill. The proportional part of the UTE’s Consolidated Statement of Financial Position and Consolidated Income Statement is integrated into the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position and the Consolidated Income Statement of the Company in proportion to its interest in the UTE on a line by line basis.

ABENGOA Consolidated financial statements Page 26 b) Computer programs › there are appropriate technical, financial or other resources available to complete the development and to use or sell the intangible asset; and Costs paid for licenses for computer programs are capitalized, including preparation and installation costs directly associated with the software. Such costs are amortized over their estimated useful life. Maintenance costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. › the costs of the project/product can be measured reliably. Once the product is in the market, capitalized costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the period for which the product is expected to generate economic benefits, which is normally 5 years, except for development assets related to the second-generation biofuels plant, which are amortized according to its useful life (a 5% of annual amortization percentage). Costs directly related with the production of identifiable computer programs are recognized as intangible assets when they are likely to generate future economic benefit for a period of one or more years and they fulfill the following conditions: › it is technically possible to complete the production of the intangible asset; Development costs that do not meet the criteria above are recognized as expenses in the Consolidated Income Statement when incurred. › management intends to complete the intangible asset; Grants or subsidized loans obtained to finance research and development projects are recognized as income in the Consolidated Income Statement consistently with the expenses they are financing, following the rules described above. › the Company is able to use or sell the intangible asset; › there are technical, financial and other resources available to complete the development of the intangible asset; and 2.4. Property, plant and equipment Property, plant and equipment includes property, plant and equipment of companies or project companies which have been self-financed or financed through external financing with recourse facilities or through non-recourse project financing. › disbursements attributed to the intangible asset during its development may be reliably measured. Costs directly related to the production of computer programs recognized as intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives which do not exceed 10 years. In general, property, plant and equipment is measured at historical cost, including all expenses directly attributable to the acquisition, less depreciation and impairment losses, with the exception of land, which is presented net of any impairment losses. Costs that do not meet the criteria above are recognized as expenses in the Consolidated Income Statement when incurred. c) Research and development cost Subsequent costs are capitalized when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with that asset can be separately and reliably identified. Research costs are recognized as an expense when they are incurred. Work carried out by a company on its own property, plant and equipment is valued at production cost. In construction projects of the Company’s owned assets carried out by its Engineering and Construction segment which are not under the scope of IFRIC 12 on Service Concession Arrangements (see Note 2.5), internal margins are eliminated. The corresponding costs are recognized in the individual expense line item in the accompanying income statements. The recognition of an income for the sum of such costs through the line item ‘Other income-Work performed by the entity and capitalized and other’ results in these costs having no impact in net operating profit. The corresponding assets are capitalized and included in property, plant and equipment in the accompanying balance sheets. Development costs (relating to the design and testing of new and improved products) are recognized as an intangible asset when all the following criteria are met: › it is probable that the project will be successful, taking into account its technical and commercial feasibility, so that the project will be available for its use or sale; › it is probable that the project generates future economic benefits; › management intends to complete the project; › the Company is able to use or sell the intangible asset; All other repair and maintenance costs are charged to the Consolidated Income Statement in the period in which they are incurred. Annual Report 2015

 


ABENGOA Consolidated financial statements Page 27 Costs incurred during the construction period may also include gains or losses from foreign-currency cash-flow hedging instruments for the acquisition of property, plant and equipment in foreign currency, transferred from equity. These assets financed through project debt are generally the result of projects which consist of the design, construction, financing, application and maintenance of large-scale complex operational assets or infrastructures, which are owned by the company or are held under a concession agreement for a period of time. The projects are initially financed through medium-term bridge loans (non-recourse project financing in process), generally 2 to 3 years and later by a long-term project (non-recourse project finance). With regard to investments in property, plant and equipment located on land belonging to third parties, an initial estimate of the costs of dismantling the asset and restoring the site to its original condition is also included in the carrying amount of the asset. Such costs are recorded at their net present value in accordance with IAS 37. In this respect, the basis of the financing agreement between the Company and the bank lies in the allocation of the cash flows generated by the project to the repayment of the principal amount and interest expenses, excluding or limiting the amount secured by other assets, in such a way that the bank recovers the investment solely through the cash flows generated by the project financed, any other debt being subordinated to the debt arising from the non-recourse financing applied to projects until the project debt has been fully repaid. For this reason, fixed assets in projects are separately reported on the face of the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, as is the related project debt (project finance and bridge loan) in the liability section of the same statement. The annual depreciation rates of property, plant and equipment (including property, plant and equipment in projects) are as follows: Items % of depreciation Lands and buildings Buildings 2% - 3% Technical installations and machinery Non-recourse project financing (project finance) typically includes the following guarantees: Installations 3% - 4% - 12% - 20% Machinery 12% › Shares of the project developers are pledged. Other fixed assets Data processing equipment 25% › Assignment of collection rights. Tools and equipment 15% - 30% Furniture 10% - 15% › Limitations on the availability of assets relating to the project. Works equipment 30% Transport elements 8% - 20% › Compliance with debt coverage ratios. › Subordination of the payment of interest and dividends to meet loan financial ratios. The assets’ residual values and useful economic lives are reviewed, and adjusted if necessary, at the end of the accounting period of the company which owns the asset. Once the project finance has been repaid and the project debt and related guarantees fully extinguished, any remaining net book value reported under this category is reclassified to the Property, Plant and Equipment or Intangible Assets line items, as applicable, in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. When the carrying amount of an asset is higher than its recoverable amount, the carrying amount is reduced immediately to reflect the lower recoverable amount. 2.5. Fixed assets in projects This category includes property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and financial assets of consolidated companies which are financed through project debt (see Note 19), that are raised specifically and solely to finance individual projects as detailed in the terms of the loan agreement. Assets in the ‘fixed assets in projects’ line item of the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position are sub-classified under the following two headings, depending upon their nature and their accounting treatment: Annual Report 2015

 


ABENGOA Consolidated financial statements Page 28 2.5.1. Concession assets in projects or improvement services. This asset is recognized at the fair value of the construction or improvement services provided. This heading includes fixed assets financed through project debt related to Service Concession Arrangements recorded in accordance with IFRIC 12. IFRIC 12 states that service concession arrangements are public-to-private arrangements in which the public sector controls or regulates the services to be provided using the infrastructure and their prices, and is contractually guaranteed to gain, at a future time, ownership of the infrastructure through which the service is provided. The infrastructures accounted for by the Group as concessions are mainly related to the activities concerning power transmission lines, desalination plants and generation plants (both renewable as conventional). The infrastructure used in a concession can be classified as an intangible asset or a financial asset, depending on the nature of the payment entitlements established in the agreement. The Group recognizes and measures revenue, costs and margin for providing construction services during the period of construction of the infrastructure in accordance with IAS 11 ‘Construction contracts’. The financial asset is subsequently recorded at amortized cost method calculated according to the effective interest method, the corresponding income from updating the flows of collections is recognized as revenue in the Consolidated Income Statement according to the effective interest rate. The finance expenses of financing these assets are classified under the financial expenses heading of the Consolidated Income Statement. a) Intangible assets The Group recognizes an intangible asset when the demand risk is assumed by the operator to the extent that it has a right to charge final customers for the use of the infrastructure. This intangible asset is subject to the provisions of IAS 38 and is amortized linearly, taking into account the estimated period of commercial operation of infrastructure which generally coincides with the concession period. As indicated above for intangible assets, income from operations and maintenance services is recognized in each period as Revenue according to IAS 18 ‘Revenue’. 2.5.2. Other assets in projects This heading includes tangible fixed and intangible assets which are financed through a project debt and are not subject to a concession agreement. Their accounting treatment is described in Notes 2.3 and 2.4. The Group recognizes and measures revenue, costs and margin for providing construction services during the period of construction of the infrastructure in accordance with IAS 11 ‘Construction Contracts’. As indicated in Note 2.7, the interest costs derived from financing the project incurred during construction are capitalized during the period of time required to complete and prepare the asset for its predetermined used. 2.6. Current and non-current classification Assets are classified as current assets if they are expected to be realized in less than 12 months after the date of the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. Otherwise, they are classified as non-current assets. Once the infrastructure is in operation, the treatment of income and expenses is as follows: › Revenues from the updated annual royalty for the concession, as well as operations and maintenance services are recognized in each period according to IAS 18 ‘Revenue’ in Revenue. Liabilities are classified as current liabilities unless an unconditional right exists to defer their repayment by at least 12 months following the date of the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. › Operating and maintenance costs and general overheads and administrative costs are charged to the Consolidated Income Statement in accordance with the nature of the cost incurred (amount due) in each period. 2.7. Borrowing costs Interest costs incurred in the construction of any qualifying asset are capitalized over the period required to complete and prepare the asset for its intended use. A qualifying asset is an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its internal use or sale, which in Abengoa is considered to be more than one year. › Financing costs are classified within heading finance expenses in the Consolidated Income Statement. b) Financial assets The Group recognizes a financial asset when there is demand risk is assumed by the grantor to the extent that the concession holder has an unconditional right to receive payments for construction Costs incurred relating to non-recourse factoring are expensed when the factoring transaction is completed with the financial institution. Annual Report 2015

 


ABENGOA Consolidated financial statements Page 29 Remaining borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. situation faced by the CGU in accordance with the business's margin and cash-flow experience and future expectations (these businesses are very recurrent with predictable activities based on a controlled portfolio, hiring expectations, regulations, etc.). 2.8. Impairment of non-financial assets Annually, Abengoa performs an analysis of impairment losses of goodwill to determine the recoverable amount. These cash flows are reviewed and approved every six months by Senior Management so that the estimates are continually updated to ensure consistency with the actual results obtained and the discount rates are calculated biannually by an independent expert. In addition, Abengoa reviews its property, plant and equipment, fixed assets in projects and intangible assets with finite and indefinite useful life to identify any indicators of impairment. The periodicity of this review is annually or when an event involving an indication of impairment is detected. In these cases, given that the period used is reasonably long, the Group then applies a zero growth rate for the cash flows subsequent to the period covered by the strategic plan. Accordingly, the following table provides a summary of the discount rates used (WACC) and growth rates used to calculate the recoverable amount for Cash-Generating Units with a high growth potential by the operating segment to which they pertain: If indications of impairment exit, Abengoa calculates the recoverable amount of the asset as the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use, defined as the present value of the estimated future cash flows to be generated by the asset. In the event that the asset does not generate cash flows independently of other assets, Abengoa calculates the recoverable amount of the Cash-Generating Unit to which the asset belongs. Operating segment Discount rate Growth rate Engineering and construction When the carrying amount of the Cash Generating Unit to which these assets belong is lower than its recoverable amount, assets are impaired. Engineering and construction 7% - 9% 0% Industrial production Assumptions used to calculate value in use include a discount rate, growth rates and projected changes in both selling prices and costs. The discount rate is estimated by Management, to reflect both changes in the value of money over time and the risks associated with the specific Cash-Generating Unit. Growth rates and changes in prices and costs are projected based upon internal and industry projections and management experience respectively. Financial projections range between 5 and 10 years depending on the growth potential of each Cash Generating Unit. Biofuels 5% - 10% 0% › For concession assets with a defined useful life and with a project debt, cash flow projections until the end of the project are considered and no terminal value is assumed. The main cash generating units (CGUs) related to concessional activities mainly relate to thermo-solar power generation plants, desalination plants, power transmission lines and cogeneration plants (see Note 5.1.b). The main assumptions used in calculating the value in use are: › 10-year financial projections were used for those Cash-Generating Units (CGUs) that have high growth potential based on cash flows taken into account in the strategic plans for each business unit, considering a residual value based on the cash flow in the final year of the projection. The use of such financial projections is justified by these concessional assets which are characteristics of based on a contractual structure (framework agreement) that permit the Company to estimate quite accurately the costs of the project (both in the construction and in the operations periods) and revenue during the life of the project, given that they are regulated by long term sales agreements, such as take-or-pay or power purchase agreements. The cash generating units (CGUs) that have a high growth potential are mainly related to intangible assets (goodwill) arisen on the acquisitions of subsidiaries belonging to operating segment of Engineering and Construction and Industrial Production (see Note 8.4) and fixed assets and Bioenergy projects identified in the Bioenergy operating segment (see Note 5.1.b). Projections take into account real data based on the contract terms and fundamental assumptions based on specific reports prepared by experts, assumptions on demand and assumptions on production. Additionally, assumptions on macro-economic conditions are taken into account, such as inflation rates, future interest rates, etc. and interest rates are calculated seminually by and independent expert. The use of these 10-year financial projections was based on the assumption that it is the minimum period necessary for the discounted cash flow model to reflect all potential growth in the CGUs in each business segment showing significant investments. The aforementioned estimated cash flows were considered to be reliable due to their capacity to adapt to the real market and/or business Annual Report 2015

 


ABENGOA Consolidated financial statements Page 30 Accordingly, the following table provides a summary of the discount rates used (WACC) and growth rates to calculate the recoverable amount for Cash-Generating Units with the operating segment to which it pertains: 2.9. Financial Investments (current and non-current) Financial investments are classified into the following categories, based primarily on the purpose for which they were acquired: Operating segment Discount rate Growth rate a) financial assets at fair value through profit and loss; Concession-type infrastructure Solar 4% - 6% 0% b) loans and accounts receivable; and Water 5% - 7% 0% Transmission lines 8% - 12% 0% c) available for sale financial assets. Cogeneration and other 8% - 10% 0% Classification of each financial asset is determinated by management upon initial recognition, and is reviewed at each year end. › 5-year cash flow projections are used for all other CGUs, considering the residual value to be the cash flow in the final year projected. a) Financial assets at fair value through profit and loss This category includes the financial assets acquired for trading and those initially designated at fair value through profit and loss. A financial asset is classified in this category if it is acquired mainly for the purpose of sale in the short term or if it is so designated by Management. Financial derivatives are also classified at fair value through profit and loss when they do not meet the accounting requirements to be designated as hedging instruments. › Cash flow projections of CGUs located in other countries are calculated in the functional currency of those CGUs and are discounted using rates that take into consideration the risk corresponding to each specific country and currency. Present values obtained with this method are then converted to euros at the year-end exchange rate of each currency. › Taking into account that in most CGUs the specific financial structure is linked to the financial structure of the projects that are part of those CGUs, the discount rate used to calculate the present value of cash-flow projections is based on the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) for the type of asset, adjusted, if necessary, in accordance with the business of the specific activity and with the risk associated with the country where the project is located. These financial assets are recognized initially at fair value, without including transaction costs. Subsequent changes in fair value are recognized under ‘Gains or losses from financial assets at fair value’ within the ‘Finance income or expense’ line of the Consolidated Income Statement for the period. b) Loans and accounts receivable › In any case, sensitivity analyses are performed, especially in relation with the discount rate used, residual value and fair value changes in the main business variables, in order to ensure that possible changes in the estimates of these items do not impact the possible recovery of recognized assets. Loans and accounts receivable are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments, not listed on an active market. In accordance with IFRIC 12, certain assets under concessions qualify as financial receivables (see Note 2.5.1.b). In the event that the recoverable amount of an asset is lower than its carrying amount, an impairment charge for the difference is recorded in the Consolidated Income Statement under the item ‘Depreciation, amortization and impairment charges’. With the exception of goodwill, impairment losses recognized in prior periods which are later deemed to have been recovered are credited to the same income statement heading. Loans and accounts receivable are initially recognized at fair value plus transaction costs and are subsequently measured at amortized cost in accordance with the effective interest rate method. Interest calculated using the effective interest rate method is recognized under ‘Interest income from loans and credits’ within the ‘Finance income’ line of the Consolidated Income Statement. Annual Report 2015

 


 

ABENGOA Consolidated financial statements Page 31 c) Available for sale financial assets 2.10. Derivative financial instruments and hedging activities Derivatives are recorded at fair value. The Company applies hedge accounting to all hedging derivatives that qualify to be accounted for as hedges under IFRS. This category includes non-derivative financial assets which do not fall within any of the previously mentioned categories. For Abengoa, they primarily comprise shares in companies that, pursuant to the regulations in force, have not been included in the scope of consolidation for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 and in which the Company's stake is greater than 5% and lower than 20%. When hedge accounting is applied, hedging strategy and risk management objectives are documented at inception, as well as the relationship between hedging instruments and hedged items. Effectiveness of the hedging relationship needs to be assessed on an ongoing basis. Effectiveness tests are performed prospectively and retrospectively at inception and at each reporting date, following the dollar offset method or the regression method, depending on the type of derivatives. Financial assets available for sale are initially recognized at fair value plus transaction costs and subsequently measured at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized directly in equity, with the exception of translation differences of monetary assets, which are charged to the Consolidated Income Statement. Dividends from available-for-sale financial assets are recognized under ‘Other finance income’ within the ‘Other net finance income/expense’ line of the Consolidated Income Statement when the right to receive the dividend is established. The Company has three types of hedges: a) Fair value hedge for recognized assets and liabilities When available for sale financial assets are sold or impaired, the accumulated amount recorded in equity is transferred to the Consolidated Income Statement. To establish whether the assets have been impaired, it is necessary to consider whether the reduction in their fair value is significantly below cost and whether it will be for a prolonged period of time. The cumulative gain or loss reclassified from equity to profit or loss when the financial assets are impaired is the difference between their acquisition cost (net of any principal repayment and amortization) and current fair value, less any impairment loss on that financial asset previously recognized in profit or loss. Impairment losses recognized in the Consolidated Income Statement are not subsequently reversed through the Consolidated Income Statement. Changes in fair value of the derivatives are recorded in the Consolidated Income Statement, together with any changes in the fair value of the asset or liability that is being hedged. b) Cash flow hedge for forecasted transactions The effective portion of changes in fair value of derivatives designated as cash flow hedges are recorded temporarily in equity and are subsequently reclassified from equity to profit or loss in the same period or periods during which the hedged item affects profit or loss. Any ineffective portion of the hedged transaction is recorded in the Consolidated Income Statement as it occurs. Acquisitions and disposals of financial assets are recognized on the trading date, i.e. the date upon which there is a commitment to purchase or sell the asset. Available for sale financial assets are derecognized when the right to receive cash flows from the investment has expired or has been transferred and all the risks and rewards derived from owning the asset have likewise been substantially transferred. When options are designated as hedging instruments (such as interest rate options described in Note 14), the intrinsic value and time value of the financial hedge instrument are separated. Changes in intrinsic value which are highly effective are recorded in equity and subsequently reclassified from equity to profit or loss in the same period or periods during which the hedged item affects profit or loss. Changes in time value are recorded in the Consolidated Income Statement, together with any ineffectiveness. At the date of each Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, the Group evaluates if there is any objective evidence that the value of any financial asset or any group of financial assets has been impaired. This process requires significant judgment. To make this judgment, the Group assesses, among other factors, for how long and to what extent the fair value of an investment will be below its cost, considering the financial health and short-term prospects of the company issuing the securities, including factors such as the industry and sector return, changes in the technology and cash flows from operating and financing activities. When the hedged forecasted transaction results in the recognition of a non-financial asset or liability, gains and losses previously recorded in equity are included in the initial cost of the asset or liability. Annual Report 2015

 


ABENGOA Consolidated financial statements Page 32 When the hedging instrument matures or is sold, or when it no longer meets the requirements to apply hedge accounting, accumulated gains and losses recorded in equity remain as such until the forecast transaction is ultimately recognized in the Consolidated Income Statement. However, if it becomes unlikely that the forecasted transaction will actually take place, the accumulated gains and losses in equity are recognized immediately in the Consolidated Income Statement. › Level 2: Fair value is measured based on inputs other than quoted prices included withing Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e.as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices). › Level 3: Fair value is measured based on unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. In the event that prices cannot be observed, the management shall make its best estimate of the price that the market would otherwise establish based on proprietary internal models which, in the majority of cases, use data based on observable market parameters as significant inputs (Level 2) but occasionally use market data that is not observed as significant inputs (Level 3). Different techniques can be used to make this estimate, including extrapolation of observable market data. The best indication of the initial fair value of a financial instrument is the price of the transaction, except when the value of the instrument can be obtained from other transactions carried out in the market with the same or similar instruments, or valued using a valuation technique in which the variables used only include observable market data, mainly interest rates. According to current legislation (IFRS-EU), differences between the transaction price and the fair value based on valuation techniques that use data that is not observed in the market, are not initially recognized in the income statement. c) Net investment hedges in foreign operation Hedges of a net investment in a foreign operation, including the hedging of a monetary item considered part of a net investment, are recognized in a similar way to cash flow hedges. › The gain or loss of the hedge which is determined as effective will be directly recognized as equity though the Consolidated Statements of Changes in Equity; and › The ineffective portion will be recognized in the Consolidated Income Statement. The gain or loss of the hedge related to the portion which have been recognized directly as equity will be reclassified to the Consolidated Income Statement when the foreign operation is sold or otherwise disposed of. a) Level 2 valuation Contracts held for the purposes of receiving or making payment of non-financial elements in accordance with expected purchases, sales or use of goods (‘own-use contracts’) of the Group are not recognized as derivative instruments, but as executory contracts. In the event that such contracts include embedded derivatives, they are recognized separately from the host contract, if the economic characteristics of the embedded derivative are not closely related to the economic characteristics of the host contract. The options contracted for the purchase or sale of non-financial elements which may be cancelled through cash outflows are not considered to be own-use contracts. The majority of Abengoa's portfolio comprises financial derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, is classified as level 2 and mainly corresponds to the interest rate swaps (see Note 14). Credit risk effect on the valuation of derivatives is calculated for each of the instruments in the portfolio of derivatives classified within level 2, using the own risk of the Abengoa companies and financial counterparty risk. Description of the valuation method Changes in fair value of derivative instruments which do not qualify for hedge accounting are recognized immediately in the Consolidated Income Statement. Trading derivatives are classified as a current assets or liabilities. › Interest rate swaps Interest rate swap valuations are made by valuing the swap component of the contract and valuing the credit risk. 2.11. Fair value estimates Financial instruments measured at fair value are presented in accordance with the following level classification based on the nature of the inputs used for the calculation of fair value: The most common methodology used by the market and applied by Abengoa to value interest rate swaps is to discount the expected future cash flows according to the parameters of the contract. Variable interest rates, which are needed to estimate future cash flows, are calculated using the curve for the corresponding currency and extracting the implicit rates for each of the reference dates in the contract. These estimated flows are discounted with the swap zero curve for the reference period of the contract, 1, 3 or 6 months. › Level 1: Imputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or habilities. Annual Report 2015

 


ABENGOA Consolidated financial statements Page 33 The effect of the credit risk on the valuation of the interest rate swaps depends on its settlement. If the settlement is favorable for the Company, the counterparty credit spread will be incorporated to quantify the probability of default at maturity. If the expected settlement is negative for the company, its own credit risk will be applied to the final settlement. specific price and on specific dates. Since these are Bermuda-type options (multiple exercise dates), they are valued using the Longstaff-Schwartz model and the Monte Carlo method. Variables (Inputs) Interest rate derivative valuation models use the corresponding interest rate curves for the relevant currency and underlying reference in order to estimate the future cash flows and to discount them. Market prices for deposits, futures contracts and interest rate swaps are used to construct these curves. Interest rate options (caps and floors) also use the volatility of the reference interest rate curve. Classic models for valuing interest rate swaps use deterministic valuation of variable rates, based on future outlooks. When quantifying credit risk, this model is limited by considering only the risk for the current paying party, ignoring the fact that the derivative could change sign at maturity. A payer and receiver swaption model is used for these cases. This enables the associated risk in each swap position to be reflected. Thus, the model shows each agent's exposure, on each payment date, as the value of entering into the ‘tail’ of the swap, i.e. the live part of the swap. Exchange rate derivatives are valued using the interest rate curves of the underlying currencies in the derivative, as well as the corresponding spot exchange rates. › Interest rate Caps and Floors The inputs in equity models include the interest rate curves of the corresponding currency, the price of the underlying asset, as well as the implicit volatility and any expected future dividends. Interest rate caps and floors are valued by separating the derivative in the successive caplets/floorlets that comprise the transaction. Each caplet or floorlet is valued as a call or put option, respectively, on the reference interest rate, for which the Black-Scholes approach is used for European-type options (exercise at maturity) with minor adaptations and following the Black-76 model. To estimate the credit risk of the counterparty, the credit default swap (CDS) spreads curve is obtained in the market for important individual issuers. For less liquid issuers, the spreads curve is estimated using comparable CDSs or based on the country curve. To estimate proprietary credit risk, prices of debt issues in the market and CDSs for the sector and geographic location are used. › Forward foreign exchange transactions The fair value of the financial instruments that results from the aforementioned internal models, takes into account, among other factors, the terms and conditions of the contracts and observable market data, such as interest rates, credit risk, exchange rates, commodities and share prices, and volatility. The valuation models do not include significant levels of subjectivity, since these methodologies can be adjusted and calibrated, as appropriate, using the internal calculation of fair value and subsequently compared to the corresponding actively traded price. However, valuation adjustments may be necessary when the listed market prices are not available for comparison purposes. Forward contracts are valued by comparing the contracted forward rate and the rate in the valuation scenario at the maturity date. The contract is valued by calculating the cash flow that would be obtained or paid from theoretically closing out the position and then discounting that amount. › Commodity swaps Commodity swaps are valued in the same way as forward foreign exchange contracts, calculating the cash flow that would be obtained or paid from theoretically closing out the position. b) Level 3 valuation Level 3 includes available for sale financial assets, as well as derivative financial instruments whose fair value is calculated based on models that use non observable or illiquid market data as inputs. › Equity options Equity options are valued using the Black-Scholes model for American-type options on equities. Fair value within these elements was calculated by taking as the main reference the value of the investment - the company's cash flow generation based on its current business plan, discounted at a rate appropriate for the sector in which each of the companies is operating. Valuations were obtained from internal models. These valuations could vary where other models and assumptions made on the principle variables had been used, however the fair value of the assets and liabilities, as well as the results generated by these financial instruments are considered reasonable. › Embedded derivatives in convertible bonds The embedded derivatives in convertible bonds consist of an option to convert the bond into shares in favor of the bondholder; call options for the issuer to repurchase the bonds at a specific price on specific dates; and put options for the bondholder to redeem the bonds at a Annual Report 2015

 


ABENGOA Consolidated financial statements Page 34 Detailed information on fair values is included in Note 12. 2.14. Clients and other receivables Clients and other receivables relate to amounts due from customers for sales of goods and services rendered in the normal course of operation. 2.12. Inventories Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. In general, cost is determined by using the first-in-first-out (FIFO) method. The cost of finished goods and work in progress includes design costs, raw materials, direct labor, other direct costs and general manufacturing costs (assuming normal operating capacity). Borrowing costs are not included. The net realizable value is the estimated sales value in the normal course of business, less applicable variable selling costs. Clients and other receivables are recognized initially at fair value and are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method, less provision for impairment. Trade receivables due in less than one year are carried at their face value at both initial recognition and subsequent measurement, provided that the effect of not discounting flows is not significant. Cost of inventories includes the transfer from equity of gains and losses on qualifying cash-flow hedging instruments related with the purchase of raw materials or with foreign exchange contracts. A provision for impairment of trade receivables is recorded when there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to recover all amounts due as per the original terms of the receivables. The existence of significant financial difficulties, the probability that the debtor is in bankruptcy or financial reorganization and the lack or delay in payments are considered evidence that the receivable is impaired. 2.13. Biological assets Abengoa recognizes sugar cane in production as biological assets. The production period of sugar cane covers the period from preparation of the land and sowing the seedlings until the plant is ready for first production and harvesting. Biological assets are classified as property, plant and equipment in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. Biological assets are recognized at fair value, calculated as the market value less estimated harvesting and transport costs. The amount of the provision is the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the effective interest rate. When a trade receivable is uncollectable, it is written off against the bad debt provision. Clients and other receivables which have been factored with financial entities are derecognized and hence removed from assets on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position only if all risks and rewards of ownership of the related financial assets have been transferred, comparing the Company’s exposure, before and after the transfer, to the variability in the amounts and the calendar of net cash flows from the transferred asset. Once the Company’s exposure to this variability has been eliminated or substantially reduced, the financial asset has been transferred, and is derecognized from the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position (See Note 4.b). Agricultural products harvested from biological assets, which in the case of Abengoa are cut sugar cane, are classified as inventories and measured at fair value less estimated sale costs at the point of sale or harvesting. Fair value of biological assets is calculated using as a reference the forecasted market price of sugarcane, which is estimated using public information and estimates on future prices of sugar and ethanol. Fair value of agricultural products is calculated using as a reference the price of sugar cane made public on a monthly basis by the Cane, Sugar and Alcohol Producers Board (Consecana). 2.15. Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, cash in bank and other highly-liquid current investments with an original maturity of three months or less which are held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitments. Gains or losses arising as a result of changes in the fair value of such assets are recorded within ‘Operating profit’ in the Consolidated Income Statement. To obtain the fair value of the sugar cane while growing, a number of assumptions and estimates have been made in relation to the area of land sown, the estimated TRS (Total Recoverable Sugar contained within the cane) per ton to be harvested and the average degree of growth of the agricultural product in the different areas sown. In the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, bank overdrafts are classified as borrowings within current liabilities. Annual Report 2015

 


ABENGOA Consolidated financial statements Page 35 2.16. Share capital Parent company shares are classified as equity. Transaction costs directly attributable to new shares are presented in equity as a reduction, net of taxes, to the consideration received from the issue. development projects where the Company record an intangible asset, income from the grant will be recognized according to the useful life of the asset, at the same rate as we record its amortization. Commissions paid for obtaining credit lines are recognized as transaction costs if it is probable that part or all of the credit line will be drawn down. If this is the case, commissions are deferred until the credit line is drawn down. If it is not probable that all or part of the credit line will be drawn down, commission costs are expensed in the period. Treasury shares are classified in Equity-Parent company reserves. Any amounts received from the sale of treasury shares, net of transaction costs, are classified as equity. 2.18.1. Convertible notes 2.17. Government grants Non-refundable capital grants are recognized at fair value when it is considered that there is a reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and that the necessary qualifying conditions, as agreed with the entity assigning the grant, will be adequately met. Pursuant to the Terms and Conditions of each of the convertible notes issued issued by Abengoa in the last years except for the 2019 notes and the bonds exchangeable into Atlantica Yield shares maturing in 2017, when investors exercise their conversion right, the Company may decide whether to deliver shares of the company, cash, or a combination of cash and shares (see Note 20.3 for further information). Grants related to income are recorded as liabilities in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position and are recognized in ‘Other operating income’ in the Consolidated Income Statement based on the period necessary to match them with the costs they intend to compensate. In accordance with IAS 32 and 39, since Abengoa has a contractual right to choose the type of payment and one of these possibilities is paying through a variable number of shares and cash, the conversion option qualifies as an embedded derivative. Thus, the convertible bond is considered a hybrid instrument, which includes a component of debt and an embedded derivative for the conversion option held by the bondholder. Grants related to fixed assets are recorded as non-current liabilities in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position and are recognized in ‘Other operating income’ in the Consolidated Income Statement on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful economic life of the assets. The Company initially measures the embedded derivative at fair value and classifies it under the derivative financial instruments liability heading. At the end of each period, the embedded derivative is re-measured and changes in fair value are recognized under ‘Other net finance income or expense’ within the ‘Finance expense net’ line of the Consolidated Income Statement. The debt component of the bond is initially recorded as the difference between the proceeds received for the notes and the fair value of the aforementioned embedded derivative. Subsequently, the debt component is measured at amortized cost until it is settled upon conversion or maturity. Debt issuance costs are recognized as a deduction in the value of the debt in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position and included as part of its amortized cost. 2.18. Loans and borrowings External resources are classified in the following categories: a) project debt (see Note 19); b) corporate financing (see Note 20). Loans and borrowings are initially recognized at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently measured at amortized cost and any difference between the proceeds initially received (net of transaction costs incurred in obtaining such proceeds) and the repayment value is recognized in the Consolidated Income Statement over the duration of the borrowing using the effective interest rate method. In relation to the convertible bonds maturing in 2019, at the beginning of 2014, the Board of Directors expressly and irrevocably stated, with binding effect, that in relation to the right conferred on Abengoa to choose the type of payment, the Company shall not exercise the cash settlement option in the event that bondholders decide to exercise their conversion right early during the period granted for that effect and Abengoa, S.A. shall therefore only settle this conversion right in a fixed number of shares. Accordingly, the fair value at the beginning of the year of the derivative liability embedded in the convertible bond was reclassified as equity since after that date the conversion option meets the definition of an equity instrument. Interest free loans and loans with interest rates below market rates, mainly granted for research and development projects, are initially recognized at fair value in liabilities in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. The difference between proceeds received from the loan and its fair value is initially recorded within ‘Grants and Other liabilities’ in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, and subsequently recorded in ‘Other operating income-Grants’ in the Consolidated income statement when the costs financed with the loan are expensed. In the case of interest free loans received for Annual Report 2015

 


ABENGOA Consolidated financial statements Page 36 In relation to the convertible bonds maturing in 2017, in accordance with IAS 32 and IFRIC 19, a profit or loss is recognized for the difference between the equity instrument converted and the cancelled debt book value as a consequence of the reclassification from debt to convertible equity instruments, when they contain an embedded derivative and the initial terms of the instrument remain unchanged. 2.20. Employee benefits Bonus schemes The Group records the amount annually accrued in accordance with the percentage of compliance with the plan’s established objectives as personnel expense in the Consolidated Income Statement 2.18.2. Ordinary notes The company initially recognizes ordinary notes at fair value, net of issuance costs incurred. Subsequently, notes are measured at amortized cost until settlement upon maturity. Any other difference between the proceeds obtained (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognized in the Consolidated Income Statement over the term of the debt using the effective interest rate method. Expenses incurred from employee benefits are disclosed in Note 29 2.21. Provisions and contingencies Provisions are recognized when: 2.19. Current and deferred income taxes Income tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred income tax. Income tax is recognized in the Consolidated Income Statement, except to the extent that it relates to items recognized directly in equity. In these cases, income tax is also recognized directly in equity. › there is a present obligation, either legal or constructive, as a result of past events; › it is more likely than not that there will be a future outflow of resources to settle the obligation; and › the amount has been reliably estimated. Current income tax expense is calculated on the basis of the tax laws in force or about to enter into force as of the date of the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position in the countries in which the subsidiaries and associates operate and generate taxable income. Provisions are initially measured at the present value of the expected outflows required to settle the obligation and subsequently valued at amortized cost following the effective interest method. Contingent liabilities are possible obligations, existing obligations with low probability of a future outflow of economic resources and existing obligations where the future outflow cannot be reliably estimated. Contingences are not recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position unless they have been acquired in a business combination. Deferred income tax is calculated in accordance with the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position liability method, based upon the temporary differences arising between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities and their tax base. However, deferred income tax is not recognized if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting nor the taxable profit or loss. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates and regulations which are enacted or substantially enacted at the date of the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position and are expected to apply and/or be in force at the time when the deferred income tax asset is realized or the deferred income tax liability is settled. 2.22. Trade payables and other liabilities Trade payables and other liabilities are obligations arising from the purchase of goods or services in the ordinary course of business and are recognized initially at fair value and are subsequently measured at their amortized cost using the effective interest method. Deferred tax assets are recognized only when it is probable that sufficient future taxable profit will be available to use deferred tax assets. Other liabilities are obligations not arising from the purchase of goods or services in the normal course of business and which are not treated as financing transactions. Deferred taxes are recognized on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries and associates, except where the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences is controlled by the Group and it is not probable that temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future. Advances received from customers are recognized as ‘Trade payables and other current liabilities’. Annual Report 2015

 


ABENGOA Consolidated financial statements Page 37 Non-recourse confirming 2.23. Foreign currency transactions Abengoa’s payment management policy requires all group companies to pay their suppliers and vendors using non-recourse bank confirming payments (also called non-recourse confirming) as a general rule, without differentiating between those group suppliers that, for various reasons, may be part of each company’s supply chain. Regardless of whether the invoice originates from an external or a Group supplier, the underlying document of the non-recourse confirming will always be a commercial invoice, in other words an invoice derived from the operational activities of a specific company. a) Functional currency Financial statements of each subsidiary within the Group are measured and reported in the currency of the principal economic environment in which the subsidiary operates (subsidiary’s functional currency). The Consolidated Financial Statements are presented in euro, which is Abengoa’s functional and reporting currency. The International Financial Reporting Standards (‘IFRS’) do not explicitly state the accounting treatment applicable to the aforementioned transactions. Nevertheless, the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) issued a public statement on October 27, 2015 which defines their priorities when preparing the financial statements for the year 2015, in order to promote consistent application of the IFRS among issuers. The aforementioned statement state that these types of transactions (also called “reverse factoring”) should be analyzed depending on the economic substance of the agreements, so that issuers can conclude whether the trade debt should be classified as financial debt within the Statements of financial position, or payments made should be classified as financial or operational within the Cash flow statements. In either case, ESMA recommends that the issuer provides clear details of the accounting classification policy that it has applied, indicating the assumptions that have been made and the corresponding quantitative impacts. b) Transactions and balances Transactions denominated in a currency different from the subsidiary’s functional currency are translated into the subsidiary’s functional currency applying the exchange rates in force at the time of the transactions. Foreign currency gains and losses that result from the settlement of these transactions and the translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency at the year-end rates are recognized in the Consolidated Income Statement, unless they are deferred in equity, as occurs with cash-flow hedges and net investment in foreign operations hedges. c) Translation of the financial statements of foreign companies within the Group Income Statements and Statements of Financial Position of all Group companies with a functional currency different from the group’s reporting currency (euro) are translated to eurosas follows: Consequently, provided that there are no material changes to the conditions of the trade debt (for example, to the due date, the amount or the interest rates, if applicable), the fact that due to the use of confirming, the new legal creditor is a financial institution instead of the supplier, does not change the economic character of the debt that arose from the operational activities of the Group company, regardless of whether it originated from an external or a group supplier. 1) All assets and liabilities are translated to euros using the exchange rate in force at the closing date of the Consolidated Financial Statements. 2) Items in the Income Statement are translated into eurosusing the average annual exchange rate, calculated as the arithmetical average of the average exchange rates for each of the twelve months of the year, which does not differ significantly from using the exchange rates of the dates of each transaction. Consequently, the accounting policy consistently chosen by Abengoa over the last few years regarding its supplier balances associated with non-recourse confirming has been to record them until their due date under the “Suppliers and other accounts payable” heading in the statements of financial position regardless of whether the collection rights have been assigned by the creditor to a financial institution and whether it originates from an external or a group supplier. Although in case of group suppliers, there could be characteristics that might lead to different interpretations. 3) The difference between equity, including profit or loss calculated as described in (2) above, translated at the historical exchange rate, and the net financial position that results from translating the assets, and liabilities in accordance with (1) above, is recorded in equity in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position under the heading ‘Accumulated currency translation differences’. Notwithstanding the foregoing, as of December 31, 2015, there has been a new interpretation the relevant regulatory agencies. Based on the new interpretation, amounts corresponding to supplier balances associated to non-recourse confirming which has been originated from a group supplier were reclassified as "Corporate Financing" under current liabilities the statement of financial position as of December 31, 2015, despite their original commercial economic substance. Results of companies carried under the equity method are translated at the average annual exchange rate calculated described in (2.c.) above. Annual Report 2015

 


ABENGOA Consolidated financial statements Page 38 Goodwill arising on the acquisition of a foreign company is treated as an asset of the foreign company and is translated at the year-end exchange rate. Gross amounts owed by clients for ongoing works in which the costs incurred plus recognized profits (minus recognized losses) exceed partial billing are presented as assets under the heading of ‘Unbilled Revenue’ within ‘Clients and other receivables’ heading of the Statement of Financial Position. 2.24. Revenue recognition On the other hand, amounts outstanding from customers for work in progress for which the billing to date is greater than the costs incurred plus recognized profits (less recognized losses) are shown as liabilities within the line item ‘Advance payments from clients’ in the Trade payables and other current liabilities caption of the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. a) Ordinary income Ordinary income comprises the fair value of sales of goods or services, excluding VAT or similar taxes, any discounts or returns and excluding sales between Group entities. Ordinary income is recognized as follows: Lastly, as stated in point 2.4 on the measurement of property, plant and equipment in internal asset construction projects outside the scope of IFRIC 12 on Service Concession Arrangements (see Note 2.5), revenues and profits between group companies are eliminated, meaning that such assets are shown at their acquisition cost. › Income from the sale of goods is recognized when the Group delivers the goods to the client, the client accepts them and it is reasonably certain that the related receivables will be collectible. c) Concession contracts › Income from the sale of services is recognized in the period in which the service is provided. Concession contracts are public services agreements for periods usually between 20 and 30 years including both the construction of infrastructure and future services associated with the operation and maintenance of assets in the concession period which are under the scope of IFRIC 12. Revenue recognition, as well as, the main characteristics of these contracts are detailed in Note 2.5. › Interest income is recognized using the effective interest rate method. When a receivable is considered impaired, the carrying amount is reduced to its recoverable amount, discounting the estimated future cash flows at the original effective interest rate of the instrument and recording the discount as a reduction in interest income. Income from interest on loans that have been impaired is recognized when the cash is collected or on the basis of the recovery of the cost when the conditions are guaranteed. 2.25. Leases Lease contracts of fixed assets in which a Group company is the lessee and substantially retains all the risks and rewards associated with the ownership of the assets are classified as finance leases. › Dividend income is recognized when the right to receive payment is established. b) Construction contracts Finance leases are recognized at inception of the lease at the lower of the fair value of the leased asset and the present value of the minimum lease payments over the contract term. Each lease payment is distributed between debt and financing costs, in a way which establishes a constant interest rate on the outstanding debt. The amounts to be paid over the lease term, net of financing costs, are recognized as non-current and current payables, as appropriate. The interest portion of the financing costs is charged to the Consolidated Income Statement over the period of the lease agreement, in order to obtain a constant periodic interest rate on the balance of the outstanding debt in each period. Assets acquired under finance lease agreements are depreciated over the shorter of the useful life of the asset and the lease term. Costs incurred in relation to construction contracts are recognized when incurred. When the outcome of a construction contract cannot be reliably estimated, revenues are only recognized up to the amount of the costs incurred to date that are likely to be recovered. When the outcome of a construction contract can be reliably estimated and it is probable that it will be profitable, revenue from the contract is recognized over the term of the contract. When it is probable that the costs of the project will be greater than its revenue, expected loss is recognized immediately as an expense. To determine the appropriate amount of revenue to be recognized in any period, the percentage of completion method is applied. The percentage of completion method considers, at the date of the Statement of Financial Position, the actual costs incurred as a percentage of total estimated costs for the entire contract. Lease agreements undertaken by the Group in which the entity entering into the agreement does not substantially retain all the risks and rewards associated with the ownership of the asset are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases are charged to the Consolidated Income Statement (net of any incentives received from the lessor) on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Partial billing that has not yet been settled by the clients and withholdings are included under the Trade and other receivables heading. Annual Report 2015

 


ABENGOA Consolidated financial statements Page 39 2.26. Segment reporting Information on the Group’s operating segments is presented in accordance with internal information provided to the Group’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM). The CODM, responsible for assigning resources and evaluating the performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the Chairman. 2.29. Assets held for sale and discontinued operations The Group classifies property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and disposal groups (groups of assets that are to be sold together with their directly associated liabilities) as non-current assets held for sale when, at the date of the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, an active program to sell them has been initiated by Management and the sale is foreseen to take place within the following twelve months. The President evaluates business from an activity and geographic perspective. As described in Note 5, the CODM reviews the business by 6 operating segments which are in turn grouped, for business purposes, into three activities: Engineering & Construction, Concession-type Infrastructures and Industrial Production. The Group includes in discontinued operations those business lines which have been sold or otherwise disposed of or those that meet the conditions to be classified as held-for-sale. Discontinued operations also include those assets which are included in the same sale program together with the business line. Entities which are acquired exclusively with a view for resale are also classified as discontinued operations. Geographically, the Group reports financial information by 6 regions which are Spain (home market), North America, South America (except Brazil), Brazil, Europe (except Spain) and other (the remaining overseas markets). Assets held for sale or disposal groups are measured at the lower of their carrying value or fair value less estimated costs necessary to sell them. They are no longer amortized or depreciated from the moment they are classified as non-current assets held for sale. For detailed information on segment reporting, see Note 5. 2.27. Environmental assets Equipment, installations and systems used to eliminate, reduce or control possible environmental impacts are recognized applying the same criteria used for other similar assets. Assets held for sale and the components of disposal groups are presented in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position grouped under a single heading as ‘Assets held for sale’. Liabilities are also grouped under a single heading as ‘Liabilities held for sale’. The after-tax profit or loss on discontinued operations is presented in a single line within the Consolidated Income Statement under the heading ‘Profit (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax’. Provisions made for the environmental restoration, the costs of restructuring and the litigations are recognized when the company has a legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it becomes probable that an outflow of resources will be necessary to settle the obligation and the outflow can be reliably estimated. As indicated in IFRS 5, the elimination of intragroup transactions with companies classified as discontinued operations are performed in continuing operations or in the line of discontinued operations, depending on how they reflect more appropriately the business’ continuity or not in each case. Note 33.6 gives additional information on the Group’s environmental policies. 2.28. Severance payments Severance payments are made to employees in the event that the company terminates their employment contract prior to the normal retirement age or when the employee voluntarily accepts redundancy in the terms offered by the employer. The Group recognizes severance payments when it is demonstrably committed to third parties to provide indemnities for leaving the company or to dismiss the current workers in accordance with a detailed formal plan, with no possibility of retracting. Further information is provided on Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations in Note 7. 2.30. Third-Party Guarantees and Commitments The types of guarantees given to third parties in the normal course of activities in Abengoa: a) Bank guarantees and surety insurances: Correspond to guarantees provided by financial entities to Group companies to comply with any commitment made to a third party (Bid bonds, performance and others) Annual Report 2015

 


ABENGOA Consolidated financial statements Page 40 In case of breach of the undertaken commitment, and therefore, a possible obligation with the financial entity, the Company proceeds to recognize a liability in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position sheet only when outflows of resources are probable. account the future development of the business. Provided its nature, these judgments and assumptions are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty and, thus, the real results may materially differ from assumptions and estimates used. Upon the occurrence of such event, assets and liabilities will be adjusted. b) Guarantees: Correspond to commitments documented by a Group company to a third party (Bid Bonds, performance, financing and others) Based in what has been exposed in Note 2.1 regarding the application of the going concern basis of accounting Abengoa’s Consolidated Financial Statements corresponding as of December 31, 2015, estimates and assumptions have been made by the Board of Directors in order to determine the impacts of that situation over the assets, liabilities, income, expenses and commitments recorded therein. In case of breach of the undertaken commitment, and therefore, a possible obligation with the third party, the Company proceeds to recognize a liability in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position sheet only when outflows of resources are probable, provided that such obligation was not previously recognized in the balance sheet. Upon the occurrence of a significant change in the facts and circumstances upon which estimates and assumptions have been made, management might be required to amend such estimates and assumptions in future periods. Changes in accounting estimates are recognized prospectively, in accordance with IAS 8 “Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors”. Further information provided in Note 23. Impairment of intangible assets and goodwill Goodwill and Intangible assets which have not yet come into operation or that have an indefinite useful life are not amortized and are tested for impairment on an annual basis or whenever there an impairment indicator exists. Goodwill is tested for impairment within the Cash-Generating Unit to which it belongs. Other intangible assets are tested individually, unless they do not generate cash flows independently from other assets, in which case they are tested within the Cash-Generating Unit to which they belong. Note 3.-Critical accounting judgements estimates and In Abengoa’s Consolidated Financial Statements under IFRS-EU requires assumptions and estimates to be made which have an impact on assets, liabilities, income, expenses and disclosures related. Actual results could be different from estimated. The most critical accounting policies, which have been taken into account in these Consolidated Financial Statements, are: For those cash generating units with high growth potential, the Group uses cash flow projections for a period of 10 years based on the cash flows identified in the Group’s strategic plans, which are reviewed and approved every six months by the Management of the Group. The residual value is calculated based on the cash flows of the latest year projected using a steady or nil growth rate. The use of a 10 year period is based on the consideration that this is the minimum period needed to be used in order to appropriately reflect all the potential growth of these cash generating units. In addition, 10 year projections are prepared based on the historical experience within the Group in preparing long-term strategic plans, which are considered reliable and are prepared on the basis of the Group’s internal control system. These cash flows are considered reliable since they can easily adapt to the changes of the market and of the business segment to which cash generating units belong, based on the Group’s past experience on cash flows and margins and on future expectations. › Impairment of intangible assets and goodwill. › Revenue and expense from construction contracts. › Service concession agreements. › Income taxes and recoverable amount of deferred tax assets. › Derivatives and hedging. › Guarantees provided to third parties. Some of these critical accounting policies require the deployment of significant judgement by The Board of Directors in order to determine appropriate assumptions and estimates to determine these critical accounting policies. These estimates and assumptions are not only based on historical experience of the Company, but also, on the advice of experts and consultants, other circumstances and expectations and forecasts as of the end of the reporting period. Directors´ assessment has to be considered given the business environment of the industries and geographies in which the Group operates, taking into For other cash generating units the Group uses cash flows projections based on a 5 years period, calculating the residual value based on the cash flows of the latest year projected, ‘using a zero growth rate’. Annual Report 2015

 


ABENGOA Consolidated financial statements Page 41 Projected cash flows are discounted using the Weighted Average Cost of Capital (see Note 2.8), adjusted for the specific risks associated to the business unit to which the cash generating unit belongs. (see Note 2.5), the totality of the revenues and profits between group companies is eliminated, meaning that said assets are shown at their acquisition cost. Based on values in use calculated in accordance with the assumptions and hypotheses described above and in Note 8 for the years 2015 and 2014, the recoverable amount of the cash generating units to which goodwill was assigned is higher than their carrying amount. Detailed sensitivity analysis has been carried out and the Management is confident that the carrying amount of the cash generating units will be recovered in full. Main variables considered in sensitivity analysis are growth rates, discount rates based in weighted average cost of capital (WACC) and the main variables of each business. Concession Agreements The analysis on whether the IFRIC 12 applies to certain contracts and activities involves various complex factors and it is significantly affected by legal interpretation of certain contractual agreements or other terms and conditions with public sector entities. Therefore, the application of IFRIC 12 requires extensive judgment in relation with, amongst other factors, (i) the identification of certain infrastructures (and not contractual agreements) in the scope of IFRIC 12, (ii) the understanding of the nature of the payments in order to determine the classification of the infrastructure as a financial asset or as an intangible asset and (iii) the recognition of the revenue from construction and concessionary activity. During the years 2015 and 2014 there were no intangible assets with indefinite useful life and there were no significant intangible assets not yet in use that were impaired except those indicated in Note 8.1 Revenue from construction contracts Revenue from construction contracts is recognized using the percentage-of-completion method for contracts whose outcome can be reliably estimated and it is probable that they will be profitable. When the outcome of a construction contract cannot be reliably estimated, revenue is recognized only to the extent it is probable that contract costs incurred will be recoverable. Changes in one or more of the factors described above may significantly affect the conclusions as to the appropriateness of the application of IFRIC 12 and, therefore, the results of operations or our financial position (see Note 10.1). Income taxes and recoverable amount of deferred tax assets Determining income tax expense requires judgment in assessing the timing and the amount of deductible and taxable items, as well as the interpretation and application of tax laws in different jurisdictions. Due to this fact, contingencies or additional tax expenses could arise as a result of tax inspections or different interpretations of certain tax laws by the corresponding tax authorities. As described in Note 2.24.b), the percentage of completion is determined at the date of Consolidated Statement of Financial Position based on the actual costs incurred as a percentage of total estimated costs for the entire contract. Revenue recognition using the percentage-of-completion method involves the use of estimates of certain key elements of the construction contracts, such as total estimated contract costs, allowances or provisions related to the contract, period of execution of the contract and recoverability of the claims. The Company has established, over the years, a robust project management and control system, with periodic monitoring of each project. This system is based on the long-track record of the Group in constructing complex infrastructures and installations. As far as practicable, the Group applies past experience in estimating the main elements of construction contracts and relies on objective data such as physical inspections or third parties confirmations. Nevertheless, given the highly tailored characteristics of the construction contracts, most of the estimates are unique to the specific facts and circumstances of each contract. Group Management assesses the recoverability of deferred tax assets on the basis of estimates of the future taxable profit. In making this assessment, Management considers the foreseen reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected taxable profit and tax planning strategies. This assessment is carried out on the basis of internal projections, which are updated to reflect the Group’s most recent operating trends. The Group’s current and deferred income taxes may be impacted by events and transactions arising in the normal course of business as well as by special non-recurring circumstances. The assessment of the appropriate amount and classification of income taxes is dependent on several factors, including estimates of the timing and realization of deferred tax assets and the timing of income tax payments. Although estimates on construction contracts are periodically reviewed on an individual basis, we exercise significant judgments and not all possible risks can be specifically quantified. Actual collections and payments may materially differ from these estimates as a result of changes in tax laws as well as unforeseen future transactions impacting the income tax balances. It is important to point out that, as stated in Note 2.4 about Property plant and equipment, in the internal asset construction projects outside the scope of IFRIC 12 of Service Concession Arrangements Annual Report 2015

 


ABENGOA Consolidated financial statements Page 42 Note 4.-Financial risk management Abengoa’s activities are undertaken through its operating segments and are exposed to various financial risks: market risk (including currency risk, interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk, liquidity risk and capital risk. Derivatives financial instruments and hedging The Group uses derivatives in order to mitigate risks arising from foreign exchange, interest rates and changes in the prices of assets and commodities purchased (principally aluminum, grain, ethanol, sugar and gas). Derivatives are initially recognized at fair value on the date that the derivative contract is entered into for, and are subsequently re-measured at fair value at each reporting date (see Notes 2.10 and 2.11 for a full description of the accounting policy for derivatives). The risk management model attempts to minimize the potential adverse impact of such risks upon the Group’s financial performance. Risk is managed by the Group’s Corporate Finance Department, which is responsible for identifying and evaluating financial risks in conjunction with the Group’s operating segments, quantifying them by project, region and company, and diversifying the sources of finance in an attempt to prevent concentrations. Contracts held for the purposes of receiving or making payment of non-financial elements in accordance with expected purchases, sales or use of goods (own-use contracts) of the Group are not recognized as financial derivative instruments, but as executory contracts. In the event that such contracts include embedded derivatives, those derivatives are recorded separately from the original contract, if the economic characteristics of the embedded derivative are not closely related to the economic characteristics of the original host contract. Options contracted for the purchase or sale of non-financial elements which may be cancelled through cash outflows are not considered to be ‘own-use contracts’. Written internal risk management policies exist for global risk management, as well as for specific areas of risk, such as foreign exchange risk, credit risk, interest rate risk, liquidity risk, the use of hedging instruments and derivatives and the investment of cash surpluses. In addition there are official written management regulations regarding key controls and control procedures for each company and the implementation of these controls is monitored through Internal Audit procedures. The inputs used to calculate fair value of our derivatives are based on observable prices on not quoted markets, through the application of valuation models (Level 2). The valuation techniques used to calculate fair value of our derivatives include discounting estimated future cash flows, using assumptions based on market conditions at the date of valuation or using market prices of similar comparable instruments, amongst others. The derivatives valuation and the identification and valuation of embedded derivatives and own-use contracts require the use of considerable professional judgment. These determinations were based on available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts. The Group is affected by the following financial risks: a) Market risk Market risk arises when group activities are exposed fundamentally to financial risk derived from changes in foreign exchange rates, interest rates and changes in the fair values of certain raw materials. Third-party guarantees The analysis of the guarantees committed to third parties, given the exceptional nature and uncertainty of the current situation of the company provided by the Article 5 bis of Ley Concursal, requires a complex judgment to estimate the contractual breaches that may exits and as a consequence of possible breaches, the outflow of resources probability (see Note 23). To hedge such exposure, Abengoa uses currency forward contracts, options and interest rate swaps as well as future contracts for commodities. The Group does not generally use derivatives for speculative purposes. › Foreign exchange rate risk: the international activity of the Group generates exposure to foreign exchange rate risk. Foreign exchange rate risk arises when future commercial transactions and assets and liabilities recognized are not denominated in the functional currency of the group company that undertakes the transaction or records the asset or liability. The main exchange rate exposure for the Group relates to the US Dollar against the Euro. Such situation could affect the facts and circumstances in which these estimations are based and that could arise significant changes on them. To control foreign exchange risk, the Group purchases forward exchange contracts. Such contracts are designated as fair-value or cash-flow hedges, as appropriate. Annual Report 2015

 


ABENGOA Consolidated financial statements Page 43 In the event that the exchange rate of the US Dollar had risen by 10% against the euroas of December 31, 2015, with the rest of the variables remaining constant, the effect in the Consolidated Income Statement would have been a loss of €27,185 thousand (loss of €1,103 thousand on 2014) mainly due to the US Dollar net asset position of the Group in companies with eurofunctional currency and a decrease of €1,649 thousand (increase of € 36,615 thousand in 2014) in other reserves as a result of the cash flow hedging effects on highly probable future transactions. In general, the Group uses futures and options listed on organized markets, as well as OTC (over-the-counter) contracts with financial institutions, to mitigate the risk of market price fluctuations. In the event that the grain price had risen by 10% as of December 31, 2015, with the rest of the variables remaining constant, the effect in the Consolidated Income Statement would have been null (null in 2014 and a decrease of €1,349 thousand (increase of € 49,086 thousand in 2014) in other reserves as a result of the cash flow hedging effects on highly probable future transactions. Details of the financial hedging instruments and foreign currency payments as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 are included in Note 14 to these Consolidated Financial Statements. In the event that the ethanol price had risen by 10% as of December 31, 2015, with the rest of the variables remaining constant, the effect in the Consolidated Income Statement would have been null in 2015 (null in 2014) and an increase of €8,673 thousand in 2014 in other reserves › Interest rate risk: arises mainly from financial liabilities at variable interest rates. Abengoa actively manages its risks exposure to variations in interest rates associated with its variable interest debt. A breakdown of the commodity derivative instruments as of December 31, 2015 ad 2014 is included in Note 14 to these Consolidated Financial Statements. In project debt (see Note 19), as a general rule, the Company enters into hedging arrangements for at least 80% of the amount and the timeframe of the relevant financing. In addition, certain Bioenergy Business Group companies engage in purchase and sale transactions in the grain and ethanol markets, in accordance with a management policy for trading transactions. In corporate financing (see Note 20), as a general rule, 80% of the debt is covered throughout the term of the debt; in addition, in 2009, 2010, 2013, 2014 and 2015, Abengoa issued notes at a fixed interest rate. Management has approved and supplemented trading strategies to control the purchase and sale of forward and swap contracts, mainly for sugar, grain and ethanol, which are reported on a daily basis, following the internal procedures established in the Transactions Policy. As a risk-mitigation element, the company sets daily limits or ‘stop losses’ for each strategy, depending on the markets in which it operates, the financial instruments purchased and the risks defined in the transaction. The main interest rate exposure for the Group relates to the variable interest rate with reference to the Euribor. To control the interest rate risk, the Group primarily uses interest rate swaps and interest rate options (caps and collars), which, in exchange for a fee, offer protection against an increase in interest rates. These transactions are measured monthly at fair value through the Consolidated Income Statement. In 2015 no transactions of this nature have been made, whereas in 2014, Abengoa recorded a profit of €3,992 thousand corresponding to settled transactions in both years. In the event that Euribor had risen by 25 basic points as of December 31, 2015, with the rest of the variables remaining constant, the effect in the Consolidated Income Statement would have been a profit of €7,316 thousand (€9,182 thousand in 2014) mainly due to the increase in time value of hedge interest rate options (caps and collars) and an increase of €28,379 (€35,591 thousand in 2014) in other reserves mainly due to the increase in value of hedging interest derivatives (swaps, caps and collars). A breakdown of the interest rate derivatives as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 is provided in Note 14 of these Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. › Risk of change in commodities prices: arises both through the sale of the Group’s products and the purchase of commodities for production processes. The main risk of change in commodities prices for the Group is related to the price of grain, ethanol, sugar, gas, and steel. Annual Report 2015

 


ABENGOA Consolidated financial statements Page 44 b) Credit risk The main financial assets exposed to credit risk derived from the failure of the counterparty to meet its obligations are trade and other receivables, current financial investments and cash. An aging of trade receivables as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 is included in Note 15 ‘Clients and other receivable accounts’. The same note also discloses the credit quality of the clients as well as the movement on provisions for receivables for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014. › Financial investments: to control credit risk in financial investments, the Group has established a) Clients and other receivables (see Note 15). corporate criteria which require that counterparties are always highly rated financial entities and government debt, as well as establishing investing limits with periodic reviews. b) Current financial investments and cash (see Notes 13, 14, 15 and 17). › Clients and other receivables: Most receivables relate to clients operating in a range of Given the above and considering the aging of the main financial assets with exposure to such risk, it is considered that, at the end of the year 2015, no significant amounts in arrears are susceptible to be disclosed in addition to the information required by IFRS 7. industries and countries with contracts that require ongoing payments as the project advances; the service is rendered or upon delivery of the product. It is a common practice for the company to reserve the right to cancel the work in the event of a material breach, especially non-payment. c) Liquidity risk During the last year Abengoa’s liquidity and financing policy during the last years has had intended to ensure that the company could have sufficient funds available to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. Abengoa has been using two main sources of financing: In general, and to mitigate the credit risk, prior to any commercial contract or business agreement, the company generally holds a firm commitment from a leading financial institution to purchase the receivables through a non-recourse factoring arrangement. Under these agreements, the company pays the bank for assuming the credit risk and also pays interest for the discounted amounts. The company always assumes the responsibility that the receivables are valid. › Project debt (Non-recourse project financing), which is typically used to aimed to finance any investment on project asset (see Notes 2.5 and 19). Abengoa derecognizes the factored receivables from the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position when all the conditions of IAS 39 for derecognition of assets are met. In other words, an analysis is made to determine whether all risks and rewards of the financial assets have been transferred, comparing the company’s exposure, before and after the transfer, to the variability in the amounts and the calendar of net cash flows from the transferred asset. Once the company’s exposure to this variability has been eliminated or substantially reduced, the financial asset is transferred. › Corporate Financing, used to finance the activities of the remaining companies which are not financed under the aforementioned financing model. This means of financing is managed through Abengoa S.A., which pools cash held by the rest of the companies so as to be able to re-distribute funds in accordance with the needs of the Group (see Notes 2.18 and 20) and has carried out the obtention of the resources needed from the bank and capital markets. To ensure an adequate capacity to repay its debt in relation with the cash flow generation capacity, the Group Financial Management has been elaborating an annual Financial Plan, which is approved by the Board of Directors and includes all financial needs and the manner they will be covered. In general, Abengoa considers that the most significant risk related to Clients and other receivables is the risk of non-collection, since: a) trade receivables may be quantitatively significant during the progress of work performed for a project or service rendered; b) it is not under the company’s control. However, the risk of delays in payment typically relates to technical problems, i.e., associated with the technical risk of the service provided and, therefore, within the company’s control. To manage the working capital, Abengoa usually uses non-recourse confirming with various financial entities to outsource the trade payables payments, and non-recourse factoring. In addition, Abengoa has short term financing lines including commercial paper. If the company concludes that the risk associated to the contract has been transferred to the financial institution, the receivable is derecognized in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position at the time it is transferred, in accordance with IAS 39.20. Annual Report 2015

 


ABENGOA Consolidated financial statements Page 45 Due to the facts and circumstances occurred after the formulation of the interim Consolidated Financial Statements of June 30, 2015, mentioned in note 2.1.1, Abengoa had at the end of November 2015 substantial liquidity needs mainly to attend capital expenditure in assets, short and medium term debt maturities related to operations and managing negative working capital. The Company, on November 25, 2015, due to the circumstances explained above, decided to initiate a refinancing process to try to reach an agreement with its main financial creditors that would ensure a suitable framework in which to undertake the mentioned negotiations and the financial stability of the Group in the short and medium term. An analysis of the Group’s financial liabilities classified into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period is included in the following Notes to these Consolidated Financial Statements: Current and non-current Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements Financial debt Note 19 Project debt and Note 20 Corporate financing Lease-back Note 20 Corporate financing Finance lease Note 20 Corporate financing Borrowings and other loans Note 20 Corporate financing Trade and other accounts payable Note 25 Trade payables and other current liabilities In relation to the process, after carefully evaluating the situation described above and in order to ensure the stability necessary to conduct these negotiations with the creditors, the Board of Directors of the Company deemed that the most appropriate approach was to submit the communication provided by the Article 5 bis of Act 22/2003 of July 9, on insolvencies (Ley Concursal). In this regard, on December 15, 2015, Mercantile Court No. 2 of Seville issued a Decree agreeing that the communication provided by the Article 5 bis of the Ley Concursal had been filed. Derivatives and hedging instruments Note 14 Derivative financial instruments Other liabilities Note 21 Grants and other liabilites d) Capital risk During the last year the Group has managed capital risk aimed to be able to ensure the continuity of the activities of its subsidiaries from an equity standpoint by maximizing the return for the shareholders and optimizing the structure of equity and debt in the respective companies or projects. Additionally, mentioned, on January 25, 2016 the Company reported that on that day, Alvarez&Marsal had submitted to the Board of Directors of Abengoa an industrial Viability Plan which defined the structure of the future activity of Abengoa at operational level, focusing on the engineering and construction business with own or third-party technology. Where additional measures have been determined (among others, the rotation of non-strategic assets, the adjustment of overhead costs to new activity levels, completion of most of projects in the pipeline focusing on those that maximize the liquidity of the Company and the balance in investments to be developed in the future in concessional assets depending on the availability of financial resources and the previous identification of partners). Since the admission of its shares to trade on the stock market, the company has grown in the following ways: › cash flows generated by conventional businesses; › financing of new investments through project debt (project finance and bridge loan), which also generates business for conventional businesses; Based on this Viability Plan, that confirms the industrial viability of Abengoa, the Company has begun negotiations with its creditors to restructure the debt and the necessary resources and thus provide Abengoa sufficient liquidity to continue operating competitively and sustainably in the future (see Note 2.1.1). The approval of the above-mentioned restructuring plan will set the guidelines for the new liquidity and financing policy of Abengoa in the future, giving priority to treasury optimization and cost of capital. › corporate financing, either through banks or capital markets; › issuance of new shares of subsidiaries through organized markets; › asset rotation; The leverage objective of the activities of the company has not generally measured based on the level of debt on its own resources, but on the nature of the activities: › for activities financed through project debt, each project is assigned a leverage objective based on the cash and cash flow generating capacity, generally, of contracts that provide these projects with highly recurrent and predictable levels of cash flow generation; › for activities financed with Corporate Financing, the objective is to maintain reasonable leverage, depending on their optimal capital structure.

ABENGOA Consolidated financial statements Page 46 As mentioned in Note 4 c), liquidity needs due to the facts and circumstances occurred following the formulation of the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements of June 30, 2015, mentioned in note 2.1.1, led the Company to start, within the legal frame provided by the article 5 bis of Ley Concursal, a refinancing process with the objective of reaching an agreement with the main creditors to ensure the proper frame to develop the negotiations and the financial stability of the Group in the short and medium term. Additionally, on January 25, 2016 the Company reported that on that day, Alvarez&Marsal had submitted to the Board of Directors of Abengoa an industrial Viability Plan which defined the structure of the future activity of Abengoa at operational level, focusing on the engineering and construction business with own or third-party´s technology. The Concession-type infrastructures activity comprises four operating segments: › Solar – Operation and maintenance of solar energy plants, mainly using thermo-solar technology. › Water – Operation and maintenance of facilities aimed at generating, transporting, treating and managing water, including desalination and water treatment and purification plants. › Transmission – Operation and maintenance of high-voltage transmission power line infrastructures. Based on this Viability Plan, the Company has begun negotiations with its creditors to restructure the debt and the necessary resources and thus provide Abengoa with the optimal capital structure to continue operating competitively and sustainably in the future (see Note 2.1.1). › Cogeneration and other – Operation and maintenance of conventional cogeneration electricity plants. › Industrial production; covers Abengoa’s businesses with a high technological component, such biofuel and development of solar technology. The company holds an important leadership position in these activities in the geographical markets in which it operates. Note 5.-Segment information 5.1. Information by business segment As indicated in Note 1, Abengoa’s activity is grouped under the following three activities which are in turn composed of six operating segments: This activity is comprised of one operating segment: ›Biofuels – Production and development of biofuels, mainly bioethanol for transport, which uses cellulosic plant fiber, cereals, sugar cane and oil seeds (soy, rape and palm) as raw materials. Abengoa’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (‘CODM’) assesses the performance and assignment of resources according to the above identified segments. The CODM in Abengoa considers the revenues as a measure of the activity and the EBITDA (Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization) as measure of the performance of each segment. In order to assess the performance of the business, the CODM receives reports of each reportable segment using revenues and EBITDA. Net interest expense evolution is assessed on a consolidated basis given that the majority of the corporate financing is incurred at the holding level and that most investments in assets are held at project companies which are financed through project debt. Amortization and impairment charges are assessed on a consolidated basis in order to analyze the evolution of net income and to determine the dividend pay-out ratio. These charges are not taken into consideration by CODM for the allocation of resources because they are non-cash charges. › Engineering and construction; includes the traditional engineering business in the energy and water sectors, with more than 70 years of experience in the market. This activity comprises one operating segment Engineering and Construction. Abengoa specializes in carrying out complex “turnkey projects” for thermo-solar plants, solar-gas hybrid plants, conventional generation plants, biofuels plants and water infrastructures, as well as large-scale desalination plants and transmission lines, among others. In addition, this segment includes activities related to the development of thermo-solar technology, water management technology and innovative technology businesses such as hydrogen energy or the management of energy crops. The process to allocate resources by the CODM takes place prior to the award of a new project. Prior to presenting a bid, the company must ensure that the project debt for the new project has been obtained. These efforts are taken on a project by project basis. Once the project has been awarded, its evolution is monitored at a lower level and the CODM receives periodic information (revenues and EBITDA) on each operating segment’s performance. › Concession-type infrastructures; groups together the company’s proprietary concession assets that generate revenues governed by long term sales agreements, such as take-or-pay contracts or power purchase agreements. This activity includes the operation of electric energy generation plants (solar, cogeneration or wind), desalination plants and transmission lines. These assets generate low demand risk and the Company focuses on operating them as efficiently as possible. Annual Report 2015

Non-current and current liabilities 970,172 Equity (364,558) At the end of 2014, Mojave Solar, LLC is included in the Atlantica Yield consolidation group and classified as discontinued operation in accordance with the requirements of IFRS 5 (see Note 7). Therefore, Abengoa’s Consolidated Financial Statements as of December 31 2014 include Mojave Solar, LLC’s assets and liabilities under a single heading in Assets held for sale and liabilities held for sale within the Consolidated statements of financial position and the results generated (since it was incorporated to Atlantica Yield´s consolidation perimeter) under a single heading “Profit (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax” within the Consolidated income statement of 2014. › Asset rotation: continuance of the plan initiated at the end of 2014 by means of the creation of a joint venture with external equity partners to divest in assets. The new strategic measure consists of the sale or partial divestment in case of external equity partners, which includes the sale of a diverse list of assets including combined-cycle plants, cogeneration, solar plants and other concessional assets. These initiatives and their main effects in relation to the reclassification of the ‘Assets and liabilities held for sale and discontinued operations’ in the Consolidated statements of financial position and the Consolidated Income Statement as of December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 are described below. At the end of the year 2015, the company, was an Atlantica Yield´s subsidiary and has begun to be accounted by the equity method (See Note 7.1 and Note 11). a) Atlantica Yield Note 7.-Non-current assets held and discontinued operations for sale Reduction of stake The plan to reduce the stake in Atlantica Yield was initiated at year end 2014 with the approval of the Abengoas’ Board of Directors, has been carried out during 2015, by the following steps: 7.1. Plan to further optimize Abengoa financial structure On December 15, 2014, Abengoa´s Board of Directors approved a plan to further improve its financial structure through three main initiatives: › An initial stage to divest a 13% stake ended on January 22, 2015, via the sale in an underwritten public offering of 10,580,000 ordinary shares in Atlantica Yield, bringing the holding in Atlantica Yield to 51% (see Note 6.2). › On July 14, 2015, Abengoa sold 2,000,000 shares in Atlantica Yield at a price of USD 31.00 per share for a total price of USD 62 million, bringing the holding in Atlantica Yield to 49.05% (see Note 6.2). › Reduce its stake in Atlantica Yield. › Accelerate the sale of assets to Atlantica Yield. › On the other hand, as a consequence of the exchange notices received from holders and exchanged by the Company as of December 31, 2015 regarding Abengoa´s Exchangeable Bond, Abengoa´s shareholding in Atlantica Yield reached 41.86%. This reduction in Abengoa´s shareholding motivated the decrease of Abengoa´s representation in Atlantica´s Board of Directors by one Director according to the Company´s Articles of Association (see Note 6.2). › The creation of a joint venture with external equity partners that will invest in a portfolio of contracted assets under construction as well as in new contracted assets under development. Following the plan to optimize Abengoa Financial Structure, on September 23, 2015, Abengoa’s Board of Directors approved a package of strategic measures that will be adapted following the execution of Annual Report 2015

 


ABENGOA Consolidated financial statements Page 55 › Finally, without being a decrease of Abengoa’s interest as of even though it did not constitute a reduction of stake, on December 24, 2015, the Company entered into a loan agreement for an amount of €106 million and with a final maturity date of March 17, 2016 with a group of financial entities (See Note 20). The loan has been used for general corporate purposes. As security for the loan, 17,334,598 shares in Atlantica Yield held by the Group have been pledged. Additionally, in compliance with the obligations assumed by the Company under the loan agreement entered into September 23, 2015 drawn down for an amount of €125 million (see Note 20), certain other shares of Atlantica Yield held by the Group have been pledged as security for such financing (8,196,245 shares). As of December 31, 2015, the amount of Atlantica Yield shares granted as security of the aforementioned financing arrangements and the Secured Term Facility Agreement entered into by Abengoa Concessions Investments Limited in October 2015 amounts 39,530,843 shares which represents, approximately, a 39.5% of Atlantica Yield shares in issue. Hence, and provided that Atlantica Yield shares are quoted, since June 2014, in the NASDAQ Global Select Market according to IFRS 13 “Fair value measurement” since a quoted price in an active market is available (level 1), fair value was calculated taking in consideration Atlantica Yield quoted prices as of the date of the loss of control which was USD19.29. The impact of all what has been mentioned above amounts to €18 million recognized a loss in the profit/loss for the year attributable to the parent Company. The breakdown of that impact is the following: Item 2015 (178,765) Profit and loss attributable to Atlantica Yield 34,511 Addition/dispossal of assets/liabilities and retained participation fair value 126,191 Profit and loss attributable to non controlling interest Loss of control The Board of Directors approved at the end of 2014 a plan to lose control over Atlantica Yield mainly through the modification of its Corporate Governance structure, aimed to limit Abengoa control in the Shareholders General Meeting and the Board of Directors by means of the limitation on its voting rights and reinforcement of the role of independent directors, in addition to the plan to reduce the stake in Atlantica Yield pointed out above. Even though as of December 31, 2015 Atlantica Yield has been consolidated under the equity method, and as a consequence, is not appropriate to give information under this section, all income generated during 2015 has been reclassified to the above-mentioned caption, because it has been considered to be a discontinued operation during the whole fiscal year in accordance with IFRS 5 As of December 31, 2015 and 2014 the breakdown of assets and liabilities of the consolidated financial position of Atlantica Yield, integrated by the equity method is as follows: December 31, 2015, as a consequence of the important modifications in the Corporate Governance structure, and the significant reduction of shares to 41.86% (during December 2015, they were reduced by 5.5% as a consequence of conversion of convertible notes maturing on 2017) which have motivated the loss of the majority of the Abengoa´s representation in Atlantica Yield´s Board of Directors, has been considered as effective date of loss of control over this subsidiary, and it has been consolidated by the equity method. Atlantica Yield was presented as an operating segment within the Concession-Type Infrastructures activity during 2014 until the date of the loss of control since December 31, 2014 and until December 31, 2015 it was classified as discontinued operation. Due to the significance that the activities carried out by Atlantica Yield had for Abengoa, the loss of control of this shareholding is considered as a discontinued operation in accordance with the stipulations and requirements of IFRS 5, ‘Non-Current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations’. Item 2015 2014 Fixed assets in projects 8,554,873 5,574,324 Investments in associates 49,880 4,136 Financial investments 92,152 43,623 Deferred tax assets 173,118 58,465 Current assets 873,135 580,441 Project debt (5,648,284) (3,457,156) Other non-current liabilities (2,059,018) (1,263,060) Other current liabilities (178,444) (102,539) Thus, in accordance with IFRS 10 "Consolidated Financial Statements", the Company has recorded the loss of control, derecognizing the assets and liabilities of this shareholding at their book values as well as non-controlling interest. Additionally, assets and liabilities resulting from the loss of control as well as the stake retained by Abengoa in Atlantica Yield have been valued at their fair values as of the date of the loss of control. Annual Report 2015 Total net assets and liabilities held for sale 1,857,4121,438,234 Profit and loss attributable to parent company for discontinued operations(18,063)

 


ABENGOA Consolidated financial statements Page 56 Additionally, below is the breakdown of the income statement of Atlantica Yield for the years 2015 and 2014 which has been classified in “Profit/loss from discontinued operations, net of tax” partners that would invest in a portfolio of contracted assets under construction and development. Related to this plan, on December 11, 2014, the company reached a non-binding agreement with the infrastructure fund EIG Global Energy Partners (‘EIG’) to jointly invest in a new company to which Abengoa would contribute its shareholdings in a series of holding companies of concessional projects. 2015 2014 Revenue 712,876 273,679 Other operating income 62,355 59,328 Based on this agreement, the new company would be jointly managed, although EIG would hold a majority stake in the new company. Once the agreement was completed and the projects transferred to the Newco, Abengoa would no longer have a controlling interest in the assets. Given that as of December 31, 2014, the companies associated with previous projects were available for immediate sale and the sale was highly probable, the Company classified the associated assets and liabilities as held for sale in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position as of December 31, 2014. Those assets relate to renewable and conventional power generation (Atacama I project in Chile, Abent 3T & ACC4T projects in Mexico) and power transmission assets in Brazil.

Profit for the period from continuing operations (178,765) (22,203) VII. Profit attributable to minority interests (9,923) (1,762) Following the agreement reached with EIG, on April 7, 2015 the company Abengoa Projects Warehouse I, LLP (APW-1) was incorporated under the English and Wales law, reaching therefore the final agreement to establish a Joint Venture (JV) to finance the construction of the aforementioned projects. Adictionally, for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, the cash flow statement related to Atlantica Yield is as follows: APW-1 capital structure consists of 55% invested by EIG and a remaining non-controlling interest of 45% by Abengoa. This company is jointly managed, so once the aforementioned projects are acquired by the JV, Abengoa would no longer have a controlling interest in these assets Item 2015 2014 Profit for the year from continuing operations (178,765) (22,203) I. Profit for the year from continuing operations adjusted by non monetary items 483,718 197.145 II. Variations in working capital 65,854 (51.301) In connection with the acquisition of asset by JV APW-1, It is considered relevant that on April 2015, the first of the committed contribution by the agreement has been achieved, which specifically corresponds to the 100% interest on CSP Atacama 1 and PV Atacama 1 (solar plant project companies located in the Atacama Desert, Chile, which combine tower technology based on molten salts (110 MW) and photovoltaic (100 MW)). The aforementioned projects, which until then were consolidated in the Consolidated Financial Statements, started to be recorded under the equity method after Abengoa no longer had a controlling interest in such projects, and Abengoa and EIG started to control them jointly. The first acquisition of assets has been completed for a net cash inflow for Abengoa of €194.9 million. III.

ABENGOA Consolidated financial statements Page 57 Furthermore, in relation to the sale to APW-1 of a minority interest contribution of the power transmission line assets in Brazil currently under construction, at the end of June 2015, the sale of shares representing a 44.54% stake in the holding company of the aforementioned assets has been closed (the percentage will be diluted to reach the 32.9% though future capital contribution to be made by Abengoa). According to the stake sale contract, and, since Abengoa has full filled the conditions to which the operation was subject to, it has generated a receivable credit amounting to €243.1 million (related to the percentage invested by EIG percentage of invest) whose collection will be performed along the full filment of the preceding conditions established in the contract, among which, the closing of the long-term finance is with the long-term project finance closing of each project included in the agreement (see Note 12). As a result, Abengoa will keep retaining the control over the holding company of the projects (74.54% stake), which are being consolidated in the Consolidated Financial Statements. At the end of the year 2015, as a consequence of both the current situation of the Company´s operations in Brazil and a contingent obligation, which arose in December 2015, giving rise to potential buyback of the shares of the transmission line assets sold, Abengoa has recorded a financial liability amounting to €243.1 million (see Note 20.6). The table below provides a breakdown of identified assets included in the plan. The companies associated with the projects are available for immediate sale and the sale is highly probable. Therefore, until the closing of the sale transaction, the assets are reported as held for sale in accordance with the stipulations and requirements of IFRS 5, ‘Non-Current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations’.

The circumstances and events happened out of the control of these companies since last August (see Note 2.1.1.) have delayed the rotation process. However, the intention of the Management remains in alienating of such companies. . Lastly, and in relation to Abent 3T & ACC4T projects companies’ contribution to the JV APW-1, while we had agreed to a transaction price with EIG of approximately €308.6 million, as of July 31, 2015, the exclusivity period with EIG expired, without any concrete agreement. This fact allows us to start negotiations to sale these assets with third parties. Thus, these projects have been included in the divestment plan described below, and we are actively exploring the sale of this asset to other potential buyers. The above-mentioned net assets and liabilities are accounted for at the carrying amount they had prior to being classified as held for sale, except for PV assets which are recorded at fair value after an impairment amounting to €13 million. New plan of asset rotation The new plan of asset rotation is a continuation of the plan started at the end of 2014, which has been reinforced by Abengoa, as approved by Abengoa’s Board of Directors on September 23, 2015. Further implementation of the plan will be carried out through the sale or partial divestment, in case of external equity partners, of certain assets. This plan includes the sale of a diverse list of assets including combined-cycle plants, cogeneration, solar plants and other concessional assets. Those assets include the projects included in the initial plan and whose divestment has not been completed on September 23, 2015, and additional projects included in the new plan.

Assets held for sale shares in Linha Verde Transmissora de Energía, S.A. During 2014 financial year, the Company signed with Centrais Elétricas do Norte do Brasil S.A (Eletronorte) a share purchase agreement to sell its 51% stake in Linha Verde Transmissora de Energía S.A. (‘Linha Verde’), a company with a concession of an electric transmission line in Brazil which was in pre-operational stage. As of December 31, 2014, the sale was subject to the closing conditions customary for the sale of these types of assets. Given that as of that date the subsidiary was available for immediate sale and the sale was highly probable, the Company classified the assets and liabilities of Linha Verde as held for sale in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position as of December 31, 2014.

The increase in goodwill is due to the translation differences caused by the appreciation of the US Dollar and the Brazilian real against the Euro. The increased cost of intangible assets is primarily due to investment in research and development projects (see Note 8.3) and to the change in the consolidation scope following the start-up and control of the Hugoton second generation biofuels plant in the United States, which is owned by Abengoa Bioenergy Biomass of Kansas, LLC (See Note 6.4) and it has been classified as development assets (see Note 8.3). The increase in the cost of development assets is mainly due to the investment effort in research and development (see Note 8.3).

ABENGOA Consolidated financial statements Page 60 According to the available information by the Directors, during 2014 no significant losses for impairment of intangible assets were recorded. The construction of the solar plant project in the Atacama Desert I (Chile), which combines photovoltaic plant, thermo-solar plant and both thermal and electric energy storage systems for the production of renewable energy 24 hours a day, supplying demand from the network at any given time is ongoing. 8.3. Development assets During 2015, Abengoa made significant Research and Development investment efforts, investing a total of €345,188 thousand (€597,784 thousand in 2014) through the development of new technologies in different areas of business (solar technology, biotechnology, desalination, water treatment and reuse, hydrogen, energy storage and new renewable energies). Abengoa works as well on bioproducts through the conversion of non-food organic material (grain, sugar cane, biomass, oleaginous) into 1G and 2G biofuels and high value added bioproducts. During 2015 we have developed a process aimed to adapt the operating 1G assets production to market demand and further R&D and innovation carried out by Abengoa also resulted in the efficiency improvement of the enzymatic cocktail that converts non-food organic material into biofuels in the plant located in Hugoton. The following table summarizes the total investments made in R&D in 2015 and 2014: In water management, Abengoa is working in Saudi Arabia in the first desalination plant powered by solar energy. It will have a capacity of 60,000 m3 of seawater per day and will supply 200,000 people. This is a pioneering project in the world in which a photovoltaic solar plant will produce the energy needed to run the reverse osmosis desalination.

The aforementioned impairment losses correspond to concessional assets of electric transmissions segment (€185 million), Water segment (€21 million), Solar segment (€23 million) and Cogeneration and other segment (€12 million). All these assets are concessional assets in progress that, according to IFRIC12, revenues, costs and margin of services delivered during the period of construction are recorded in accordance to IAS 11 “construction contracts” (see Note 2.5). The methodology used for the valuation of the impairment losses and discount rates are described in Note 2.8. The increase in concession assets during 2014 was primarily due to progress in constructing various transmission lines in Brazil and Peru (€487 million), water and generation projects in Mexico (€556 million), the thermo-solar plants in Chile (€796 million), the construction project of a hospital in Brazil (€103 million), the Palmatir and Cadonal wind farms in Uruguay (€55 million) and the desalination plants and water projects in Ghana, Algeria and USA (€57 million). Similarly, the change in the scope of consolidation also caused a significant increase following the start-up and control of the company Mojave Solar, LLC (see Note 6.4) and the appreciation of the US Dollar and the Brazilian Real against the euro. The increase in 2014 was offset by the classification of various assets as held for sale, for a total net amount of €7,465 million (see Note 7.1). These included the Atlantica Yield assets, the concession assets of the desalination plants in Algeria (Skikda and Honnaine), transmission lines in Peru (ATN2) and a thermo-solar plant in Abu Dhabi (Shams), and the assets relating to the non-binding agreement with the EIG Global Energy Partners (EIG) infrastructures fund that will form part of a joint venture (according to the information available to the Directors). b) The following table shows the movements of ‘Concession assets in projects’ for 2014: Intangible assets Financial assets Development assets (*) Cost Total No significant losses from impairment of ‘Concession assets in projects’ were recorded during 2014.

ABENGOA Consolidated financial statements Page 69 The information on the financial instruments measured at fair value, is presented in accordance with the following: The majority of Abengoa's portfolio comprises financial derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, is classified as level 2 and corresponds mainly to the interest rate swaps (see Note 14). › Level 1: assets or liabilities listed on active markets. The caption Non-hedging derivatives includes the fair value of the embedded derivatives in the exchangeable and convertible notes (except for the 2019 convertible notes), the fair value of the call options over Abengoa’s own shares, as well as those derivatives purchased with the purpose of hedging market risk (interest rate, foreign exchange or commodities) that do not fulfill all the requirements, according to IAS 39 to be recorded as hedges from an accounting point of view. › Level 2: Measured on inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices). › Level 3: Measured on inputs for the assets or liabilities that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). Level 3 mainly corresponds to the 3% interest held by Abengoa, S.A. in Yoigo, S.A., a Spanish telecom operator, recorded at fair value (see Note 13.8). The valuation method used to calculate the fair value was discounting cash flows based on the last business plan available from the previous year, using as discount rate the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) of 10%. A sensitivity analysis has also been made considering different discount rates and deviations of the business plan in order to ensure that potential valuation changes do not worsen in any case the fair value. The following is a breakdown of the Group’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value as of December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 (except assets and liabilities with a carrying amount close to their fair value, non-quoted equity instruments measured at cost and contracts with components that cannot be measured reliably): Additionally, the embedded derivative of the convertible loan received as part of the consideration for the sale of Befesa, is classified within Level 3. As of December 31, 2015, the embedded derivative has a negative fair value of €25,869 thousand. Balance as of 12.31.15 Category Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Non-hedging derivatives - (37,493) (25,869) (63,362) Hedging derivatives - (53,802) - (53,802) If the equity value of Befesa had increased by 10%, assuming that the average horizon of permanence of the financial fund before the sale of Befesa did not change compared with respect to the hypotheses considered in assessing, the fair value of the embedded derivative would have increased €1,785 thousand, up to €24,085 thousand.

ABENGOA Consolidated financial statements Page 71 13.8. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, Abengoa, S.A. held a 3% interest in Yoigo, S.A, a Spanish telecom operator, recorded at fair value of €32,997 thousand and held in the Group through the ownership of Siema Investments, S.L. (a holding company owned 100% by Abengoa, S.A.). Additionally the shareholders of Yoigo have granted this company several ‘participative’ loans in accordance with a pre-established plan, which involved a total disbursement of €21,030 thousand (as of December 31, 2015 and 2014), equivalent to 3% of the total loan made to the company by its shareholders in said years. Information about the valuation techniques of derivative financial instruments is described in Notes 2.11 and 12. Derivatives classified as non-hedge accounting are those derivative financial instruments which, although obtained for the purpose of hedging certain market risks (interest rates, exchange rates, commodity prices and fair value class B share Abengoa), do not meet the specific requirements established by IAS 39 to be designated as hedging instruments from an accounting point of view (since, at the inception of the hedge, there was no designation or formal documentation relating to the hedge or the risk management strategy that it was intended to implement) or, having complied with all of the requirements to be designated a hedging instrument, the underlying has been sold or the hedging designation has been interrupted. As a result of the purchase of its holding in Yoigo, Siema Investment, S.L. became responsible, for furnishing guarantees to the Spanish Administration as security for compliance with the commitments relating to investment, commercialization, employment and network development acquired by Yoigo, together with other guarantees relating to the Radioelectronic Spectrum Rate, which the Group is required to counter-guarantee, for a total amount of €3,387 thousand as of December 31, 2015 and 2014.(Such guarantees are included in the breakdown of Note 23.1) 13.9. As a result of the analysis of impairment of available-for sale financial assets, no significant losses from impairment were recorded. The net increase in derivative financial assets in 2015 was mainly due to increased fair value of exchange rate derivatives as a consequence of the depreciation between the Brazilian real against euro and the changes in the valuation of the exchange rate derivative entered into, during 2015, between Abengoa and Atlantica Yield. The fair value of derivative liabilities decreased in 2015 mainly due to the derivatives belonging to companies sold to Atlantica Yield accounted under the equity method and to a decrease by a favorable evolution of hedging interest rate derivatives due to a decrease of the interest rate in euro. Additionally, there has been an increase in the fair value of the embedded derivative liability in the Exchangeable Notes (exchangeable in ordinary shares of Atlantica Yield) maturing on 2017 (see Note 20.3), and an increase in the fair value of the embedded derivative liability in the convertible notes of Befesa, as well as to an increase of the notional amounts of exchange rate hedges on increase due to the evolution of commodities price related mainly to aluminum. Note 14.-Derivative financial instruments 14.1. The fair value of derivative financial instruments (see Note 12) as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 is as follows: The fair value amount transferred to the Consolidated income statement in 2015 for the financial instruments derivatives designated as hedging instruments was a loss of €251,259 thousand (loss of €29,720 thousand in 2014).

ABENGOA Consolidated financial statements Page 78 15.11. In November 2011, the Arbitral Tribunal appointed by the International Court of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce with seat in New York, United States, issued two arbitral awards in favor of our subsidiary ASA Bioenergy Holding A.G. (‘ASA’), in relation to several claims for certain contract breaches by Adriano Gianetti Dedini Ometto and Adriano Ometto Agrícola Ltda. (the ‘Adriano‘ Defendants). In each of the proceedings, Adriano Defendants filed various counterclaims. Both arbitration proceedings were decided in ASA’s favor, in the approximate total amount of USD 118.3 million plus accrued interest. In October 2012 Adriano Defendants presented motions to vacate such arbitral awards in the ordinary courts of New York City, which were in turn decided in our favor in first instance and in the Court of Appeals of the Second Circuit. In March 2014, Adriano Defendants filed a petition for a writ of Certiorari with the Supreme Court of the United States. In June 2014 the Supreme Court denied the petition for Certiorari. The awards are final and not subject to further appeal in United States. In addition, the Company has started the actions for the recognition of the awards in Brazil at the date, the approval process is on the Supreme Court of Brazil (STJ), where the judge has shown the argument and has voted in favor of the approval of the awards, as previously included in the General Attorney report which was in favor as well. These days the case is debated in the STJ, and the resolution is expected soon.

The Legal Reserve is created in accordance with Article 274 the Spanish Corporate Law (Ley de Sociedades de Capital), which states that in all cases an amount of at least 10% of the earnings for the period will be allocated to this reserve until at least 20% of the share capital is achieved and maintained. The Legal Reserve may not be distributed and, if used to compensate losses in the event that there are no other reserves available to do so, it should be replenished from future profits.

The specific funding requirements that usually accompany bridge financing agreements normally include the following: › The funds that are drawn down as the project is executed can only be used for developing the project to construct the asset, and › The obligation to use the project finance to repay the bridge loan. Note 19.-Project debt The Consolidation perimeter includes interests in various companies that, in general, have been created to develop an integrated product that consists of designing, constructing, financing, operating and maintaining a specific infrastructure (usually a large-scale asset such as a power transmission line). These may be owned outright or under a concession arrangement for a specific period of time and whose financing sources are various non-recourse project financing schemes (project finance). This means that conversion of the bridge loan in a long-term project finance arrangement has a very high degree of security from the start of the project (which generally has a comfort letter or support from the institutions that are going to participate in the long-term financing). In terms of guarantees, both the bridge loan and the project finance have the same technical guarantees from the contractor in relation to price, deadlines and performance. The difference is that the bridge loan in most cases also has corporate guarantee from the project’s sponsor in order to cover the possibility of a delay in the financial closing of project finance. Project finance (non-recourse financing) is generally used as a means of constructing an asset, using the assets and cash flows of the company or group of companies that will perform the activity associated with the project being financed as collateral. In most cases the assets and/or contracts are used as a guarantee for the repayment of the financing. Both guarantees (contractor and sponsor) are intended to underwrite the future cash flows from the project in the event that technical risks give rise to variations in them (failure to comply with the construction schedule or with the deadlines for finalizing the project finance). Compared to corporate financing, the project finance has certain key benefits, which include a longer borrowing period due to the profile of the cash flows generated by the project and a clearly defined risk profile. Therefore the bridge loan and the project finance are –from a contractual perspective– independent loan transactions, although they are linked in terms of their overall aim (for example, with the exception of the aforementioned guarantees, both share the same risks; their sole purpose is for financing projects; they are generally repaid with funds from the project itself; and they are separate from the company’s other cash sources) and commercially (the financial institution itself has an interest in favorably resolving the continuity of both transactions). These two types of financing are therefore considered to be similar in terms of managing the company’s business. Despite having a commitment from a financial institution during the awarding phase of the project and since the financing is usually completed in the latter stages of a construction project –mainly because these projects require a significant amount of technical and legal documentation to be prepared and delivered that is specific to the project (licenses, authorizations, etc.) –bridge loan (formerly named Non-recourse project financing in process) needs to be available at the start of the construction period in order to begin construction activities as soon as possible and to be able to meet the deadlines specified in the concession agreements. Consequently, the internal criteria for classifying a financial liability in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position as project debt is based on the characteristics and use of that financing and not on the guarantees provided, since the security and predictability of the substitution process (based on past guarantees) means that this guarantee is more theoretical or hypothetical with regards to its use (such a guarantee has never been used by the nominal beneficiaries). Obtaining this financing is considered as a temporary funding transaction and is equivalent to the advances that clients traditionally make during the different execution phases of a construction project or works. Bridge loan has specific characteristics compared to traditional advances from clients. For example the funds are usually advanced by a financial institution (usually for terms of less than 2-3 years), although there are similarities in the implicit risk that mainly relates to the capacity of the company that is going to own the project to construct it correctly in time and form.

ABENGOA Consolidated financial statements Page 86 19.1. The balances and movements for 2015 of project debt are set out in the table below: In relation to the return on the project, usually it has been more beneficial to obtain bridge loan via the special purpose entity responsible for operating and maintaining the asset to be constructed. However, the cheaper cost of financing obtained at a corporate level has enabled projects to be financed centrally, generating important competitive advantages as well as reducing start times for project construction. Consequently, during 2014 and 2015 bridge loans with a corporate guarantee were issued, structured in a similar way to the bridge loans used previously in terms of their purpose (project financing) and repayment (from project cash flows). This financing is therefore also considered to be similar to the project finance in terms of managing the business and the company’s risk and it is therefore classified under the same heading.

ABENGOA Consolidated financial statements Page 97 Note 21.-Grants and other liabilities Grants and Other Liabilities as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 are shown in the following table: The decrease of total provisions in 2015 is mainly due to the decrease of dismantling provisions recognized in companies sold to Atlantica Yield and therefore, have begun to be consolidated by the equity method. The decrease of total provisions in 2014 was mainly due to the classification of dismantling provisions of Atlantica Yield as liabilities held for sale. Balance as of 12.31.15 Balance as of 12.31.14 Provision for tax and legal contingencies Grants 145,799 146,684 Suppliers of non-current assets 1,975 2,488 This provision represents the Group’s best estimates in connection with risks relating to tax contingencies arising during the normal course of the Group's business, fundamentally in Latin America, when it is considered probable that there will be an outflow of resources in the medium or long term, which has been estimated being comprised in a period between 2 to 5 years, although the development of the contingencies and the new facts and circumstances that may arise overtime could change such estimated settlement period. Long-term trade payables 86,419 63,434 The increase in grants and other non-current liabilities are mainly due to the increase in other non-current liabilities for the dividend payable to Atlantica Yield because of the preferred shares of Abengoa Concessoes Brasil Holding (ACBH) for the loss of control of Atlantica Yield and its subsequent consolidation by the equity method. There are also provisions recorded by Group companies in relation with court rulings and unfavorable tax inspections that are under appeal but have not been resolved yet. For these tax disputes the Group considers that it is probable that there will be an outflow of resources in the medium term (between 2 and 5 years). Note 22.-Provisions and contingences 22.1.

The amount claimed by the AEE is approximately USD 450 million. Currently the lawsuit is under hearing phase.

No sanction whatsoever has been imposed to Abengoa by the inspecting authorities. Amounts corresponding to VAT have been already transferred to the Spanish Tax Authorities (Agencia Tributaria).

ABENGOA Consolidated financial statements Page 102 Article 29 and the Thirty-Fourth Transitional Provision of Law 27/2014 published in the official state gazette (BOE), on November 28, 2014, introduces changes of the Spanish tax system which include changing the general tax rate to 28% in 2015 and to 25% in 2016 (from 30% in 2014), The Impact derived to the reclassification of certain deferred tax assets and liabilities at the new tax rates has resulted in an income of €7 million in the income statement and €1.1 million under equity for the company. In relation to tax loss carryforwards and deductions pending of application recorded as deferred tax assets, the Company evaluates its recoverability projecting forecasted taxable income for the upcoming years and taking into account the Company tax planning strategy. Deferred tax liabilities reversals are also considered in these projections, as well as any limitation established by tax regulations in force in each tax jurisdiction. As a consequence of the situation of the Company which has derived the submission of the communication provided by the article 5 bis of Ley Concursal, the Company has derecognized €42 millions of tax credit recognized on previous year. Additionally, it has not been recognized any further deferred tax assets due to the current situation of the Company pending to have greater visibility about the realization of the Industrial Viability Plan (see Note 2.1.1). Most of the tax credits for Tax loss carryforwards correspond the United States (€205 million), Brazil (€150 million), the Netherlands (€58 million) and Spain (€21 million). Tax loss carryforwards in Brazil have been generated in years with poor meteorological conditions which have negatively affected sugarcane production. From 2011 a series of plans are carrying out to improve the quality of biological assets, to increase milling capacity and cogeneration plant capacity, with the ultimate purpose of increasing assets profitability. Tax loss carryforwards are expected to be offset with future profits in Brazil given the absence of temporary limits under the Brazilian tax regulations. Additionally, at the end of 2012 an internal restructuring was made to allow the obtaining of additional profits of certain intangible assets related to the Bioenergy business. During 2014, a program of tax reform was offered by the local government which has allowed the tax loss carryforward compensation with other tax obligations. Tax loss carryforwards in the United States correspond mainly to projects in an initial stage of development or operation, the application of tax incentives and to other non-recurring losses. Tax loss carryforwards in Spain correspond mainly to the application of tax incentives. On the other hand, the Company has certain tax credits as of December 31, 2015 which it has not capitalized, as it determined that recoverability of such assets is not probable. These tax credits consist mainly of tax loss carryforwards related to our US subsidiaries amounting to €274 million (€35 million in 2014), with expiration dates in 2035; to our South African subsidiaries amounting to €124 million with expiration date in 2016, (€37 million in 2014), to our Mexican subsidiaries amounting to €145 million maturing in 2025,to our Spanish subsidiaries amounting to €524 million ((€89 million in 2014) and to our Brazilian subsidiaries amounting to €61 million (€8 million in 2014), without expiration date in the last two jurisdictions; and R&D&i and environmental tax credits in Spain amounting to €97 million (€89 million in 2014) with expiration dates between 2021 and 2033. Tax credits for deductions have been generated mainly in Spain. Among these tax credits the larger amount corresponds to deduction on export activities (DAEX), which is calculated as a percentage over investments effectively, made for the acquisition of foreign companies or capital increases in foreign companies. This percentage, which was initially 25% was been gradually reduced since 2007 to reach 3% in 2010. The deduction disappeared in 2011. To benefit from this deduction, among other requirements, the acquisition or incorporation of companies should be directly related to the export of goods and services from Spain. From the year 2012, the Company has not recorded any income in relation to this deduction, as it had been recorded entirely as of December 31, 2011. In addition, efforts in research, development and innovation activities (R&D&i) that Abengoa has been carrying out during the last years have resulted in the generation of important tax deductions, some of which are recorded as deferred tax assets for an amount of €67 million as of December 31, 2015. ‘Other deductions’, which have been generated mainly in Spain, correspond primarily to deductions for double taxation (€31 million), environmental deductions (€2 million), deduction for reinvestment of extraordinary benefits (€31 million) and deductions for donations to non-profit organizations (€10 million).

Environmental information The principles of the environmental policies of Abengoa are based on compliance with the current legal regulations applicable, preventing or minimizing damaging or negative environmental consequences, reducing the consumption of energy and natural resources, and achieving ongoing improvement in environmental conduct. Also, and with prior approval of the Appointment and Remuneration Committee, the Board of Directors of Abengoa delegated on Mr. Joaquín Fernández de Piérola Marín all powers except those that cannot be legally delegated. As a consequence of this appointment, Mr. Joaquín Fernández de Piérola Marín was appointed CEO and maintained the executive Director consideration. Additionally, in the framework of the negotiations, it is maintaining, with a group of its creditors comprised of banks and holders of bonds issued by the Abengoa group, for the restructuring of its indebtedness and its recapitalization in line with the grounds of an agreement that was announced on March 10, 2016 (relevant fact number 236094), on March 21, 2016, Abengoa Concessions Investments Limited (“ACI”), a subsidiary of the Company, entered into a Secured Term Facility Agreement (the “Facility Agreement”) among, inter alia, the lenders as describe below (the “Lenders”) and the agent appointed thereunder (the “Agent”), pursuant to which it is entitled to borrow up to €137,094,751.30 (the “Loan Amount”) and is required to enter into related security documents (collectively, the “Loan Documents”).The Facility Agreement will be used for the general corporate and working capital purposes of the Company and its subsidiaries (the “Group”). In response to this commitment to the sustainable use of energy and natural resources, Abengoa, in its Management Rules and Guidelines for the entire Group, explicitly establishes the obligation to implement and certify environmental management systems in accordance with the ISO 14001 International Standard. Consequently, by year-end 2015, the percentage of Companies with Environment Management Systems certified according to the ISO 14001 Standard per sales volume is 91.58% (89.56% in 2014). The table below lists the percentage of distribution of the Companies with Certified Environmental Management Systems, broken down by business unit: Upon the occurrence of certain events that are customary for this type of loan, the Lenders may exercise their right to require ACI to repay all or part of the Loan Amount, post additional collateral or foreclose on, and dispose of, the Pledged Shares (as described below under “Security”) in accordance with the Loan Documents. ISO 14001-certified companies (% of revenue) Business unit Engineering and Construction 95.24 The loan will mature on 23 September 2016 or (if maturity for the September Facility and the December Facility is extended to at least the same date) 12 months after the utilization date. Loans will initially bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the aggregate of EURIBOR plus 14.5% (on a payment in kind basis). Default interest will be payable at a rate of 5% above the interest rate. Industrial Production 92.25 Concession-type Infraestructure 63.97 33.7.-Subsequent events During the month of February 2016, the investment that Abengoa owned in Shams, which is the owner of a thermo-solar plant of 100 MW developed by the Company in Abu Dhabi (United Arab Emirates) has been sold for a total amount of USD €30 million. No impact in the results for the year is expected from this transaction. In certain circumstances, a make-whole amount, a restructuring fee and/or a rollover fee may become payable under the Facility Agreement. Abengoa and the following subsidiaries will each provide a guarantee of all amounts payable to the finance parties under the Facility Agreement. Under the terms of the Loan Documents, ACI will pledge and grant a security interest in 14,327,124 ordinary shares of Atlantica Yield (formerly Abengoa Yield Plc.) held by it (the “Pledged Shares”), in favour of the Lenders as security for the Loan Amount and its obligations under the Loan Documents. As of March 1, 2016, the Company ceased Mr. José Dominguez Abascal, formerly appointed by Inversión Corporativa IC, S.A. as Chairman and revoked the powers he may have delegated. Since that date, he will continue as Director (external Director). Replacing him, the Board of Directors of Abengoa previously agreed by the Appointment and Remuneration Committee, appointed as Executive Chairman to Mr. Antonio Fornieles Melero, former Vice-chairman and Coordinator Director, delegating him all powers except those that cannot be legally delegated. As a consequence of this appointment this mentioned Director begun to have the executive Director consideration and left the Audit Committee and the Appointments and Remuneration Committee. The Facility Agreement will require compliance with certain financial covenants consisting of (i) an initial loan to value ratio of 60% and (ii) maintaining a loan to value ratio of not more than 80%.

ABENGOA Consolidated financial statements Page 116 › the lenders under (i) the September Facility will release all of the Pledged Shares that are pledged as security for such financing and (ii) the December Facility will release a certain number of the Pledged Shares that are pledged as security for such financing. ACI will pledge and grant a second ranking pledge in respect of the Pledged Shares and the remaining shares securing the December Facility in favour of the lenders under the September Facility; and › in connection with the granting of such releases, the September Facility and the December Facility will be amended to align certain provisions relating to the interest, the restructuring and rollover fees, the loan to value financial covenants, the maturity and the disposal covenants with those in the Loan Documents. The Facility Agreement is governed by English law and the courts of England have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any dispute arising out of or in connection therewith.

Organizational structure Report as of concession assets that generate revenues governed by long term sales agreements, such as take-or-pay contracts, tariff contracts or power purchase agreements. This activity includes the operation of electric (solar, cogeneration or wind) energy generation plants and transmission lines. These assets generate low demand risk and we focus on operating them as efficiently as possible. › Industrial production: covers Abengoa’s businesses with a high technological component, such as development of biofuels technology. The Company holds an important leadership position in these activities in the geographical markets in which it operates. Abengoa, S.A. is a technological parent company of a group of companies, which at the end of the year, 2015, included the following: Abengoa’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (‘CODM’) assesses the performance and assignment of resources according to the above identified segments. The CODM in Abengoa considers the revenues as a measure of the activity and the EBITDA (Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization) as measure of the performance of each segment. In order to assess performance of the business, the CODM receives reports of each reportable segment using revenues and EBITDA. Net interest expense evolution is assessed on a consolidated basis given that the majority of the corporate financing is incurred at the holding level and that most investments in assets are held at project companies which are financed through project debt. The depreciation, amortization and impairment charges are assessed on a consolidated basis in order to analyze the evolution of net income and to determine the dividend pay-out ratio. These charges are not taken into consideration by CODM for the allocation of resources because they are non-cash charges. › The holding parent company itself. › 577 subsidiaries. › 78 associates and 31 joint ventures; as well as certain companies of the Group being involved in 211 temporary joint ventures. Furthermore, the Group’s companies have shareholdings of less than 20% in other entities. Independent to the legal structure, Abengoa is managed as outlined below. Abengoa is an international company that applies innovative technology solutions for sustainability in the energy and environment sectors, generating electricity from renewable resources, converting biomass into biofuels and producing drinking water from sea water. Abengoa supplies engineering projects under the ‘turnkey’ contract modality and operates assets that generate renewable energy, produce biofuel, manage water resources, desalinate sea water and treat sewage. The process to allocate resources by the CODM takes place prior to the award of a new project. Prior to presenting a bid, the company must ensure that the project debt for the new project has been obtained. These efforts are taken on a project by project basis. Once the project has been awarded, its evolution is monitored at a lower level and the CODM receives periodic information (revenues and EBITDA) on each operating segment’s performance. Abengoa’s activities are focused on the energy and environmental sectors, and integrate operations throughout the value chain including R&D+i, project development, engineering and construction, and operations and maintenance of its own assets and for third parties. Abengoa’s business is organized into the following three activities: › Engineering and construction: includes our traditional engineering activities in the energy and water sectors, with more than 70 years of experience in the market. Abengoa is specialized in carrying out complex turn-key projects for thermo-solar plants, solar-gas hybrid plants, conventional generation plants, biofuels plants and water infrastructures, as well as large-scale desalination plants and transmission lines, among others.

However, during the second half of 2015 a series of events have occurred which have negatively impacted the liquidity and financial structure of the Company. The aforementioned events have been duly communicated to the market and are summarized below. › Additionally, Abengoa consolidates its position as leader in the operation and maintenance of solar plants with an installed capacity of 1,603 MW in commercial operation, both thermo-solar and photovoltaic plants, which place it as the company with the highest installed thermo-solar capacity. › Abengoa is a global leader in the biofuels industry, with 16 plants located in five countries of three continents.

ABENGOA Consolidated management report Page 174 2. The reinforcement of the current asset disposal program in order to be able to raise, at least, approximately €1.2 billion by the end of 2016; Even though in accordance with the abovementioned forecasts the Company´s liquidity position was not going to be affected, the Board publicly announced on August 3, 2015 their intention to propose an Extraordinary General Shareholders´ Meeting to approve a capital increase of €650 million with preferential subscription rights for shareholders, an additional package of asset disposals and the implementation of a business model with lower investment requirements (capex), aimed at improving the liquidity position of Abengoa and reducing its dependence on leverage. 3. Adoption of capex limitations ; 4. Amendment of the Company’s dividend policy; 5. Reinforcement of corporate governance: From August 3, 2015 onward, increasing market uncertainty caused a descent in the market value of Abengoa’s listed equity and debt instruments, which both limited our access to debt and capital markets and, at the same time, contributed to a slowdown of the pace of approval or renewal, by financial institutions, of non-recourse factoring and confirming without recourse used by the Group for managing its working capital. All of this contributed to a descent in Abengoa’s liquidity position. On that date, Abengoa started a negotiation period with a group of financial entities aimed at reaching an agreement in order to secure the abovementioned capital increase. › Inversión Corporativa IC, S.A. committed itself to limit its direct and indirect aggregate voting rights to 40% once the capital increase was completed, regardless of the voting rights it would otherwise be entitled to based on its shareholding. › The Board of Directors would reflect this new voting rights structure by way of reducing the number of directors to 13 and the number of directors appointed by Inversión Corporativa IC, S.A. to 5, while there will continue to be 6 independent directors. On September 24, 2015, Abengoa announced both the agreement reached with the financial institutions and the approval of its Board of Directors of a set of strategic measures, which would be adapted during its execution, aimed at reducing corporate leverage, improving the liquidity position of Abengoa and strengthening its corporate governance, as well as the underwriting by financial entities of the capital increase. › Creation of an Investment Committee formed by a majority of independent Directors. 6. Several capital transactions were approved. Additionally, the Extraordinary General Shareholders’ meeting held on October 10, 2015, approved a set of measures including the aforementioned capital increase of €650 million aimed at improving the liquidity position of Abengoa and reducing corporate leverage. Regarding this agreement, a group of banks and two of the main shareholders committed to underwrite and/or subscribe the capital increase for an aggregate of €650 million, consisting of: On November 8, 2015, Abengoa publicly announced it entered into a framework agreement for the investment in Abengoa with Gonvarri Corporación Financiera, a company of the Gonvarri Steel Industries group. This agreement had the support of Inversión Corporativa IC, S.A., currently the main shareholder of Abengoa. The Investment Agreement set out the terms and conditions for the investment by Gonvarri Corporación Financiera within the framework of the share capital increase approved on October 10, 2015 by the Extraordinary General Shareholders' Meeting of the Company. The Investment Agreement provided that a portion of Gonvarri’s investment, in an amount of €250 million, was going to be carried out through a share capital increase without preemptive subscription rights. The Company’s capital increase with preemptive subscription rights approved at the abovementioned October 10, 2015 Extraordinary General Shareholders' Meeting was planned to be executed after the first capital increase mentioned above and for an effective amount currently expected to be €400 million, of which Gonvarri Corporación Financiera was expected to subscribe for its relevant portion of the shares. › These banks entered into an agreement with the Company pursuant to which they undertook to underwrite €465 million in Class B shares to be issued in the capital increase, subject to certain conditions being met, including, among others, obtainment of regulatory and shareholder approvals, completion of ongoing financial and other due diligence, entry into a definitive underwriting agreement and satisfaction of the shareholders’ subscription commitments; › Inversión Corporativa IC, S.A. (Controlling shareholder of Abengoa, S.A.), irrevocably committed itself to invest a minimum of €120 million of new money in new Class A and Class B shares to be issued under the rights issue; › “Waddell & Reed Investment Management” committed themselves, on behalf of certain of its affiliated funds, to subscribe for €65 million of new Class B shares in the rights issue. The rest of the measures approved by the Board of Directors included the following: 1. Debt reduction as a key objective of Abengoa focusing on maturities aimed to rebalance the maturity profile of its indebtedness; Annual Report 2015

ABENGOA Consolidated management report Page 176 full all outstanding amounts under the new financing to be provided in the framework of the restructuring and under the existing indebtedness (as this indebtedness may have been restructured), including its financial costs. It is expected that the two types of shares now existing will be merged into one sole class of shares. On January 25, 2016, the Company announced that the independent consulting firm Alvarez&Marsal presented to the Board of Directors of Abengoa the Industrial Viability Plan that defined the structure of the future activity of Abengoa on an operating basis focusing on the Activity of Engineering and Construction either developing its own technology or using technology developed by others. At the date of formulating the present Consolidated Financial Statements, Abengoa and a group of creditors comprised of banks and holders of bonds issued by Abengoa had reached a standstill agreement with the objective of providing the time necessary to keep working and reaching as soon as possible a full and complete agreement on the terms and conditions to restructure the financial indebtedness and recapitalize the Group. In accordance with this plan, which confirms the viability of Abengoa, the Company will negotiate with its creditors a debt restructuring as well as the necessary resources, and then, provided to Abengoa the optimal capital structure and the liquidity enough to continue its activity and operate in a competitive and sustainable manner in the future. With respect to the foregoing, as of March 28, 2016, it had filed with the Mercantile Court of Seville nº 2 an application for the judicial approval of the standstill agreement (the “Standstill Agreement”) which has obtained the support of 75.04% of the financial creditors to which it was addressed, being therefore over the legally required majority (60%). However, according to the terms of the Standstill Agreement, new creditors can adhere to the Standstill Agreement until the date in which the Judge resolves, therefore, the percentage could be increased. In this sense, and in relation to the negotiations between the Company and a group of its creditors comprised of banks and holders of bonds issued by the Group, as of March 10, 2016, the Company informed that it has agreed with the advisers of such creditors the grounds for an agreement to restructure the financial indebtedness and recapitalize the Group. The Company believes that such agreement contains the essential elements to achieve a future restructuring agreement that, in any event, will be subject to reaching the percentage of accessions required by law. In addition, on March 28 was initiated, according to what is stated on clause 5.2 of the standstill agreement, the Chapter 15 of the United States Bankruptcy Code and at the Delaware court, which consist on the proceeding provided for the recognition in United States of the judicial approval of the standstill agreement initiated in Spain on March 28. In a hearing scheduled on March 31, 2016 it will be asked about a compliance to provisional approval awaiting for enforcement actions to be initiated by any creditor. The fundamental principles of such agreement are the following: (i) The new money that would be lent to the Company would range between 1,500 and €1,800 million for a maximum term of 5 years. Creditors would be entitled to 55% of the share capital. This financing would rank senior with respect to the old debt and would be guaranteed by certain assets, including free shares of Atlantica Yield. As stated at the beginning of this Note to the Consolidated Financial Statements, Abengoa´s Directors have deemed it appropriate to prepare these Consolidated Financial Statements as of December 31, 2015 on a going concern. Such determination was made based on management’s assumption that an agreement with financial creditors of the Company will be attained so the Company´s financial stability can be secured, allowing Abengoa to be able to generate cash from operations in accordance with the Industrial Viability Plan developed by Alvarez&Marsal according to paragraphs 25 and 26 of IAS 1 “Presentation of Financial Statements”. (ii) The amount of the old debt that would be capitalized would correspond to 30% of its nominal value. Such capitalization grants the right to subscribe 35% of the new share capital (iii) The financial indebtedness corresponding to the liquidity lines granted to the group on September 23 and December 24, 2015 (material fact number 233503) for a total amount of €231 million (plus accrued financial expenses) will be subject to refinancing by extending the term by two (2) years. This indebtedness would be secured by the shares of Atlantica Yield and would be prepaid in case of sale of the shares of Atlantica Yield or issuance of an exchangeable bond on such shares. Based on the application of the going concern basis, Abengoa´s Directors have prepared these Consolidated Financial Statements applying the International Accounting Standards consistently with Consolidated Interim Financial Statements and Consolidated Financial Statements filed in prior periods. For that purpose, and according to the aforementioned accounting framework, Abengoa´s Directors have made their best estimates and assumptions (see Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements) in order to record the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses as of December 31, 2015 in accordance with the existing information by the time of furnishing these Consolidated Financial Statements. (iv) The amount of the share capital increase that would be reserved to those creditors, who provide €800 million of the bank guarantees requested, would be 5% of the new capital. (v) At the end of the restructuring process, the current shareholders of the Company would hold around 5 % of the share capital. Eventually, they could increase such stake in a percentage to be agreed that will not exceed an additional 5%, if, within five (5) years, the group has paid in Annual Report 2015

Additionally, given the current situation of the Company, determined by article 5 bis of the Ley Concursal and pending to have greater visibility about the realization of the Industrial Viability Plan, Abengoa´s Directors have decided not to recognize the deferred tax assets arising from capitalizing the fiscal effect from those adjustments that might be recovered in the future, according to the aforementioned Viability Plan. › Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2010-2012 and 2011-2013 cycles. These improvements are mandatory for periods beginning on or after July 1, 2014 and January 1, 2015 under IFRS-EU and IFRS-IASB.

All this has been generated as a consequence of both its deteriorating liquidity position, from Abengoa´s difficulties in accessing the capital markets, and the cancelling or non - renewal, by financial institutions, of working capital credit lines (amounting to approximately €1,000 million since such date), and which eventually led to the Company´s filing of creditors protection under article 5 bis of the Ley Concursal. › IFRS 15 ’Revenues from contracts with Customers’.

Our Concession-Type Infrastructure activity decreased (€92 million) mainly due to a decrease in revenues from the plants sold to Atlantica Yield during 2015 and the last quarter of 2014 under the ROFO agreement. The decrease was partially offset by new assets that were brought into operation during the last quarter of 2014 and the first quarter of 2015 (water desalination plants in Algeria and Ghana, the power transmission line Norte Brazil and the Manaus hospital urgencies unit in Brazil). › The main operating figures of the years 2015 and 2014 are the following.

The decrease was mainly due both to the decreased revenue contribution from our Engineering and Construction activity on the last quarter already commented and the negative adjustments prompted by the situation of the Company which has resulted in the filing of the communication provided by the article 5 bis of the Ley Concursal, which added to a total amount of €-383 million EBITDA.

The increase was mainly due to the lower capitalization of interest on debt related to projects under construction (since interests are capitalized when a project is under construction), the increased interest expense from loans and borrowings due to our new bonds issued in second half of 2014 and the first half of 2015, the interest expenses for the conversion of the 2019 convertible bond to class B shares, the expenses of cancelling the margin loan of BofA, the default interest expenses arisen from the current situation of the company, as well as to the 2017 convertible bond early repayment by an amount of approximately € 17 million, partially offset by the positive impact related to the anticipated conversion of the 2017 Atlantica Yield convertible bond. Revenues Revenue decreased by 19.5% to €5,755 million, a decrease of €1,396 from €7,151 million in the year 2014. The decrease in consolidated revenues was mainly due to the decreased revenue contribution from our Engineering and Construction activity (a decrease of €1,185 million) due to the Company situation, during the last quarter which have prompted lower sales by €1,396 million in comparison with 2014. In addition lower revenues has been recorded relating to the construction of projects in the United States (Mojave and PGE), wind farm in Uruguay (Cadonal), thermo-solar plant in Israel (Ashalim) and combined cycle plants in Poland (Stalowa Wola) and Mexico (A3T and A4T).

Our concession business has decreased mainly due to a decrease in revenues from the plants sold to Atlantica Yield during 2015 and the last quarter of 2014 under the ROFO agreement. The decrease was partially offset by new assets that were brought into operation during the last quarter of 2014 and the first quarter of 2015 (water desalination plants in Algeria and Ghana, the power transmission line Norte Brazil and the Manaus hospital urgencies unit in Brazil).

Decrease in non-current assets of 14.6% to €9,857 million compared to previous year, primarily attributable to the reclassification to the ‘Assets held for sale’ of the companies include in the new plan of asset rotation, as approved by Abengoa’s Board of Directors on September 23, 2015, (which includes the sale of a diverse list of assets including combined-cycle plants, cogeneration, solar plants and other concessional assets) for the assets sold to Atlantica Yield during 2015 and recorded them by the equity method and by the depreciation of the Brazilian Real against the Euro. This decrease was partially offset by the increase of fixed assets in construction related to transmission lines in Brazil, the increase in certain assets as a consequence of the appreciation or the US Dollar against the Euro, by the increase of investments accounted for using the equity method in APW-1 and Atlantica Yield. EBITDA decreased by 85.2% to €40 million for the year 2015, from €271 million for the same period in 2014. Consolidated EBITDA margin decreased to 2.0% in 2015, compared to 12.7% in 2014, mainly driven by lower margins in the USA and Brazil. The decrease in margins in the U.S was mainly due to the decrease in ethanol prices. The decrease in margins in Brazil was mainly due to lower yields from raw materials used in ethanol production during the year 2015 compared to the 2014. The decrease in margins in the U.S. and Brazil were partially offset by an increase in the crush spread in Europe (including Spain) due to an increase in biofuels prices in the year 2015 compared to 2014.

ABENGOA Consolidated management report Page 182 › Current Assets decreased by 50.6% compared to the end of the year 2014 to €6,771 million, primarily due to the net decrease in ‘Assets held for sale’ resulting from recording Atlantica Yield using equity method once control over the company was lost and the decrease in financial investments and cash and cash equivalents as the consequence of the facts occurred since August, 2015 which prompted the current situation provided by the article 5 bis of Ley Concursal. › Decrease of 82.51% in non-current liabilities compared to previous year, mainly due to the reclassification of discontinued liabilities to ‘Liabilities held for sale’ (related to projects included in the asset rotation plan), the reclassification to short term of Corporate-financing and project financing became that due as a consequence of defaults caused by the article 5 bis of Ley Concursal situation and the conversion to shares of the 2019 convertible bond. › Net increase of current liabilities of 5.8% compared to previous year, primarily due to the reclassification from long term of discontinued liabilities (affected by the new divestment plan) that the issuance of new bonds maturity in 2020 of Abengoa Finance as a consequence of the disposal of the Tranch A of syndicated loan to the new bridge loan obtained by Abengoa Concessions Investment and the new liquidity lines from G7. In addition an increase due to the reclassification from long-term corporate financing and project finance that became due as a consequence of due contractual breaches resulting from the 5 bis situation.

ABENGOA Consolidated management report Page 183 h) Consolidated cash flow statements › In terms of net cash flows from investment activities, there is a net cash outflow of €1,602 million in the year ended December 31, 2015, compared with net cash outflow of €2,500 million in 2014. The main investments were mainly because of the progress in the construction of thermo and photovoltaic solar projects in Chile, transmission lines in Brazil and power generation in Mexico, partially offset by the cash flow received from EIG as a result of the first asset purchase package (€195 million) and due to the sale of various assets to Atlantica Yield, which formed part of the Right of First Offer agreement (ROFO 2 and 4) signed between Atlantica Yield and Abengoa (€368 million). In relation to such divestments, selling assets to Atlantica Yield, constitute a divestment flow for Abengoa as a result of Atlantica Yield classification as a discontinued operation during year 2015 (at the end of 2015 and, after the loss of control over the company, it was recorded using the equity method). A summary of the Consolidated Cash Flow Statements of Abengoa for the periods ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 with the main variations per item are given below: Item 2015 2014 Var (%) Profit for the year from continuing operations (1,198) 144 -932% Non-monetary adjustments 1,173 1,040 13% Variations in working capital and discontinued operations (640) (524) 22% Income tax paid & Interest received/paid (812) (764) 6% Discontinued operations 280 123 128% Intangible assets and property, plant & equipment (2,181) (2,580) -15% › Net cash flow from financing activities was €1,986 million in the year 2015 compared to €1,590 million in 2014. The net cash generated from financing activities during 2015 related to the proceeds from loans and borrowings of €4,010 million and from the public sale offer of Atlantica Yield, has been offset by the repayment of loans and debt amounting to €2,456 million, dividends paid to shareholders amounting to €90 million and because the effect of discontinued operations amounting to €158 million. The proceeds from loans and borrowing from new corporate funding (provision of the syndicated loan tranche A in 2014, issue of bonds exchangeable into shares of Atlantica Yield 2017, issue of ordinary bonds maturing in 2020, the loan granted by the European Investment Bank (EIB), loans with various institutions with the support of Export Credit agencies, and new revolving credit agreements and project financing increase in funding bridge construction projects and non-recourse financing, including financing is obtained in capital markets by Solaben 1 and 6). Repayments made mainly refers to €300 million of bonds maturing in 2015, to the convertible bond maturing in 2017 whose 'put' was exercised in 2015, to the reduction in the balance in the "euro Commercial Paper (ECP) " program, as well as to the repayments to non-recourse financing and bridge loans. Regarding the public sale offer of Atlantica Yield, on January 22, 2015, the divestment of a 13% stake in Atlantica Yield was closed by the secondary public offering, generating a cash flow of €291 million before fees and expenses related to the public offer sale (€278 million after fees and expenses) and dated July 14, 2015, Abengoa has sold 2,000,000 shares of Atlantica Yield at a price of USD 31 per share, generating a cash inflow of €56 million before fees and expenses related to the public offering sales (€54 million after fees and expenses). On the other hand, the cash generated by financing activities comes primarily from the contribution of the minority shareholders of Atlantica Yield in the capital increase to finance a third package of assets (ROFO 3) during the month of May 2015 (€302 million), and the placement among qualified investors of all class B shares treasury of Abengoa, SA.

Abengoa has been using two main sources of financing: › Project debt (Non-recourse project financing), which is typically used to aimed to finance any investment on project asset (see Notes 2.5 and 19 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.). › Corporate Financing, used to finance the activities of the remaining companies which are not financed under the aforementioned financing model. This means of financing is managed through Abengoa S.A., which pools cash held by the rest of the companies so as to be able to re-distribute funds in accordance with the needs of the Group (see Notes 2.18 and 20 to the Consolidated Financial Statements) and has carried out the obtention of the resources needed from the bank and capital markets. To ensure an adequate capacity to repay its debt in relation with the cash flow generation capacity, the Group Financial Management has been elaborating an annual Financial Plan, which is approved by the Board of Directors and includes all financial needs and the manner they will be covered.

ABENGOA Consolidated management report Page 186 To manage the working capital, Abengoa usually uses non-recourse confirming with various financial entities to outsource the trade payables payments, and non-recourse factoring. In addition, Abengoa has short term financing lines including commercial paper. An analysis of the Group’s financial liabilities classified into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period is included in the following Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements: Current and non-current Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements Due to the facts and circumstances occurred after the formulation of the interim Consolidated Financial Statements of June 30, 2015, mentioned in Note 2.1.1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, Abengoa had at the end of November 2015 substantial liquidity needs mainly to attend capital expenditure in assets, short and medium term debt maturities related to operations and managing negative working capital. The Company, on November 25, 2015, due to the circumstances explained above, decided to initiate a refinancing process to try to reach an agreement with its main financial creditors that would ensure a suitable framework in which to undertake the mentioned negotiations and the financial stability of the Group in the short and medium term.

In relation to the process, after carefully evaluating the situation described above and in order to ensure the stability necessary to conduct these negotiations with the creditors, the Board of Directors of the Company deemed that the most appropriate approach was to submit the communication provided by the Article 5 bis of Act 22/2003 of July 9, on insolvencies (Ley Concursal). In this regard, on December 15, 2015, Mercantile Court No. 2 of Seville issued a Decree agreeing that the communication provided by the Article 5 bis of the Ley Concursal had been filed. Since the admission of its shares to trade on the stock market, the company has grown in the following ways: Additionally, mentioned, on January 25, 2016 the Company reported that on that day, Alvarez&Marsal had submitted to the Board of Directors of Abengoa an industrial Viability Plan which defined the structure of the future activity of Abengoa at operational level, focusing on the engineering and construction business with own or third-party technology. Where additional measures have been determined (among others, the rotation of non-strategic assets, the adjustment of overhead costs to new activity levels, completion of most of projects in the pipeline focusing on those that maximize the liquidity of the Company and the balance in investments to be developed in the future in concessional assets depending on the availability of financial resources and the previous identification of partners). › cash flows generated by conventional businesses; › financing of new investments through project debt (project finance and bridge loan), which also generates business for conventional businesses; › corporate financing, either through banks or capital markets; › issuance of new shares of subsidiaries through organized markets; Based on this Viability Plan, that confirms the industrial viability of Abengoa, the Company has begun negotiations with its creditors to restructure the debt and the necessary resources and thus provide Abengoa sufficient liquidity to continue operating competitively and sustainably in the future (see Note 2.1.1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements). The approval of the above-mentioned restructuring plan will set the guidelines for the new liquidity and financing policy of Abengoa in the future, giving priority to treasury optimization and cost of capital. › asset rotation; The leverage objective of the activities of the company has not generally measured based on the level of debt on its own resources, but on the nature of the activities: › for activities financed through project debt, each project is assigned a leverage objective based on the cash and cash flow generating capacity, generally, of contracts that provide these projects with highly recurrent and predictable levels of cash flow generation; Annual Report 2015

Additionally, on January 25, 2016 the Company reported that on that day, Alvarez&Marsal had submitted to the Board of Directors of Abengoa an industrial Viability Plan which defined the structure of the future activity of Abengoa at operational level, focusing on the engineering and construction business with own or third-party´s technology.

ABENGOA Consolidated management report Page 188 It should be mentioned that while Abengoa’s business focuses increasingly on Spain and has spread to other countries gradually, a significant part of that activity is still concentrated in Spain. In recent years, Spain has experienced an economic situation that has resulted in a decline in the tax revenues collected by the various government agencies, as well as increased public deficit and a sharp increase in the cost of sovereign debt. d) Investment plan The Abengoa´s investment plan during the following years mainly focus on the completion of projects currently under construction which include, among others, the following: Additionally, in recent years, most income in the water segment from the concession-type infrastructure business was obtained from contracts with public or governmental bodies. Many of these public bodies are local authorities with limited budgets that are subject to annual fluctuations from year to year. The budgets of these local authorities are often dependent on local tax collection or budget items awarded by national governments. As a result, it is possible that the resources available to local authorities for infrastructure projects and services could be limited, without this being notified to Abengoa. In addition, measures aimed at correcting the current economic environment have increased the budget deficit in many national, regional and local governments and the government agencies with which Abengoa enters agreements, and there is no certainty that the investment in infrastructure projects and services will continue to be available at the levels seen in previous years.

Although support for renewable energy sources by governments and authorities in the jurisdictions in which Abengoa operates has historically been strong, some policies currently in force could end, be suspended, terminated or not renewed. Consequently, it is not possible to guarantee that the government support will continue either completely or partially. Agadir Water 100,000 m3/día Marocco ATN 3 Transmission lines 355 km Peru 4.-Principal risks and uncertainties If governments and regulatory authorities in the jurisdictions in which Abengoa operates decrease or abandon their support for the development of solar energy, due, for example, to other funding priorities, political considerations or a desire to promote other energy sources, the solar plants that Abengoa plans to develop in the future could be less profitable or no longer economically feasible. 4.1. Operational risks 4.1.1. Regulatory risk Risks derived from compliance with strict environmental regulations Risks derived from reductions in government budgets, subsidies and adverse changes in the law that Abengoa’s business is subject to significant environmental regulation which, among others, requires the Company to carry out environmental impact studies in future projects or project changes, obtain regulatory licenses, permits and other authorizations, and meet the requirements of such licenses, permits and authorizations. could affect the company’s business and development of its current and future projects The reduction in public spending on infrastructure has an impact on Abengoa’s results, since a large part of the projects developed by Abengoa are promoted by public bodies, which provide the Company with a volume of income that is difficult to match with private investment, especially in the current economic environment as they are very capital-intensive projects that require a large initial investment and whose economic returns begin to be profitable in the very long term. Annual Report 2015

 


ABENGOA Consolidated management report Page 189 Subsidy schemes for renewable energy generation have been the subject of legal proceedings in the past in various jurisdictions (including claims that such schemes constitute state aid that is forbidden in the European Union). Accordingly, (i) it is possible that the government authorities may not approve environmental impact studies; (ii) public opposition could give rise to delays, changes or cancellations to projects or licenses; (iii) laws and regulations may change or be interpreted in such a way that compliance costs will increase or this will have a significant adverse affect on Abengoa’s operations and plants or plans regarding the businesses in which the Company invests or to which the Company provides its services. If all or part of the subsidy schemes and incentives for renewable energy generation in any jurisdiction in which Abengoa operates are determined to be illegal and, therefore, are eliminated or reduced, Abengoa might not be able to compete effectively with other forms of renewable and conventional energy and could even be unable to complete some projects that are currently underway. A breach of these regulations may lead to significant liability, including fines, damages, fees and expenses and the closure of facilities. In Brazil, environmental liability applies to private individuals and legal entities that directly or indirectly cause environmental damage via their actions or negligence. A single event may give rise to liability of three types (civil, administrative and criminal), independently or cumulatively. Brazilian courts could request the lifting of the corporate veil in circumstances where it is proved that the Company has evaded an obligation to compensate for environmental damage. When the corporate veil is lifted, the shareholders, rather than Abengoa, could be liable to restore the damage. b) Bioenergy consumption The consumption of biofuel for transport –one of the company’s activity areas– is also subject to regulation via specific public support policies both nationally and internationally. Biofuels cost more to produce than gasoline or diesel and therefore requires government support to incentivize their use. Biofuels offer a series of environmental and energy advantages compared to oil-based fuels, making them potentially useful tools for implementing European policies to combat climate change and reduce oil dependency. Environmental regulation has changed very rapidly in recent years, and it is possible that the Company could be subject to more stringent standards in the future. For example, is likely that Abengoa’s activities will be subject to compliance with increasingly more stringent national and international standards on climate change and the costs related to it. Nevertheless, despite major support in the biofuels sector from governments and regulatory authorities in the jurisdictions in which Abengoa operates, and the fact that authorities have reiterated their intention to continue this support, it is still possible that certain existing policies may change over time. Risk derived from a reliance on favorable regulation of the renewable energy business and bioethanol production Furthermore, biofuels are not the only alternative to oil-based fuels for use in transport, as shown by the recent development of electric vehicle technology. It is possible for different energy alternatives that have the potential to progressively substitute fossil fuels in transport to coexist. Future demand for all forms of transport could be covered with a combination of electricity (fuel cells) and biofuels as the main options; synthetic fuels (increasingly produced from renewable sources) as an intermediate solution; and methane as an additional fuel supplemented by liquid petroleum gas. Many of these alternative sources receive or will receive government support in the form of different types of incentives, which may reduce the amount of support available to biofuels. Furthermore, the level of public support can be influenced by external factors, such as public criticism in some countries of the alleged effect of biofuels on increasing food prices. a) Solar power generation Renewable energy is rapidly maturing but its cost of generating electricity is still significantly higher than conventional energy production (nuclear, coal, gas, hydroelectric). Governments have established support mechanisms to make renewable generation projects economically viable, in the form of subsidized tariffs (mainly in Spain), supplemented in specific cases with direct support for investment (mainly in the USA). The subsidized tariffs vary depending on the technology (wind, photovoltaic, STE, biomass) since they are at different stages of maturity and the regulator wants to promote the development of each type by giving developers sufficient economic incentive in the form of a reasonable return on their investment. Without this support, any renewable energy project would currently be unfeasible, although as the technology matures, the need for this support will diminish or even completely disappear over the long term. Annual Report 2015

 


ABENGOA Consolidated management report Page 190 4.1.2. Operational risk Abengoa’s activities are subject to multiple jurisdictions with varying degrees of regulation, which require significant effort by the company to ensure compliance Risk relating to the possibility that Abengoa could request insolvency proceedings in the event that the Abengoa’s business is subject to strict regulation, especially in Spain, Mexico, USA, Peru and Brazil, and in every other country in which it operates. This regulation requires licenses, permits and other authorizations in relation to the company’s operations. This multi-jurisdictional regulatory framework requires extensive efforts to ensure compliance with all legal requirements. Failure to comply with this regulation may result in the revocation of permits, penalties, fines of significant amounts or even criminal liability. Compliance with the regulatory requirements may result in substantial economic costs for the operations which may not be recovered. In addition, it is not possible to predict either the time or the form of any future regulatory initiative. Changes in the current energy, environmental and administrative regulations could adversely affect the business significantly, its margins and the investments of the Company. The business could also be affected by additional taxes on its activities, a reduction in tariffs, a reduction or the elimination of subsidies or tax incentives or other measures or cuts. company does not reach a refinancing agreement with its main financial creditors as a result of Abengoa’s liquidity needs in the short and medium term. Energy and the environment are part of the activities in which Abengoa is engaged. This activity is performed in changing surroundings, with regulations, subsidies or tax incentives that can be changed or even legally challenged. Throughout recent financial years and especially that of 2015, various amendments to regulations took place in the jurisdictions where Abengoa operates (mainly in the United States and Brazil), mainly in relation to activity concerning renewable energy generation and biofuel production, which affected the profitability of Abengoa's current and future projects, the conditions to effectively compete with non-conventional renewables and other kinds of energy, and the ability to complete some ongoing projects. However, investments in fixed assets (capex) which are higher than those anticipated in projects with a high return but which are extremely demanding in terms of capital in Brazil, Chile and Mexico have impacted on Abengoa's liquidity position and have led to a significant drop in the shares and debt instruments pertaining to Abengoa listed on the stock exchange during the 2015 financial year. All of this has limited access to capital markets and, at the same time, led to a deceleration in the rate of approval of working capital renewals (non-recourse factoring and confirming) by some financial entities, which has all led to a reduction in the liquidity position. Risks associated with concession-type infrastructure projects that operate under regulated tariffs or very long term concession agreements Revenues obtained from concession-type infrastructure projects are highly dependent on regulated tariffs or, if applicable, long term price agreements over a period of between 25 and 30 years, depending on the asset. Abengoa has very little flexibility with regards to amending these tariffs or prices (being subject to increases indexed to the CPI and to possible requests for the economic re-balancing of the concession) when faced with adverse operating situations, such as fluctuations in commodity prices, exchange rates, and labor and subcontractor costs, during the construction and operating phases of these projects. Higher than expected operating costs, especially after many years in operation, in most cases cannot be passed on to the rate or price and would therefore diminish the operating margin and, consequently, the profitability of the project would be reduced. These projects are normally calculated with tariffs or prices that are higher than the operating and maintenance cost. All of the aforementioned, along with Abengoa's high levels of debt, led the company to launch an action plan in September 2015, with measures aimed at reducing the leverage and improving the liquidity position, whereby a set of measures were approved in the Abengoa Extraordinary General Shareholders’ Meeting on October 10, 2015, including a capital increase proposal with the aim of increasing the company's own funds by a cash amount of (face value plus premium) of €650,000,000, in order to reinforce the company's liquidity situation and reduce its levels of debt. The fact that it was not possible to carry out the planned capital increase due to no agreement being reached between the company and the placement financial entities and potential investors led the company to begin a negotiation process with its creditors with the aim of reaching an agreement to guarantee its financial sustainability, pursuant to Article 5 bis of the Ley Concursal. For these purposes, the company submitted the communication set out in Article 5 bis of the Ley Concursal to the Commercial Court of Seville on November 25, 2015. The deadline to reach an agreement with the creditors is March 28, 2016. Similarly, government agencies (in some jurisdictions) or customers (where applicable) are entitled to sanction poor provision of the services under the operational activity, with a lowering of the rate structure or by postponing its update. In the area of renewable energies in particular, there is a risk that the government could reduce or eliminate the rates currently in force at any time during the life of the concession. Annual Report 2015

 


ABENGOA Consolidated management report Page 191 Risks arising from the difficult conditions in the global economy and in global capital markets and their As noted earlier, global capital and credit markets have experienced periods of extreme volatility and disruption since the latter half of 2008. Continued uncertainty and volatility in these markets could limit access to this route of funding for the capital required to operate and develop the business, including access to project finance which the Company uses to finance many of its projects. impact on reducing the demand for goods and services and difficulties in achieving the funding levels necessary for the development of existing and future projects and debt refinancing The evolution of Abengoa’s business has been traditionally affected not only by factors intrinsic to the company but also by external factors such as economic cycles and their impact on the regions and areas where the company operates. Typically, in situations of economic growth, the demand for the services offered by the Company increases and, conversely, in situations of economic instability or recession, demand suffers. The products and services of the renewable energy sector are part of a market that is subject to strict competition rules To ensure continuity in the long term, Abengoa must be able to compete with conventional energy sources and other sources of renewable energy without public aid. Current levels of government support for renewable energy are intended to support the industry while it develops the technology needed to reduce costs and improve processes. Consequently, as the costs of generation or production decrease, this level of government support is likely to be gradually reduced for many critical projects in the future. In the medium and long term, a gradual but significant reduction in tariffs, premiums and incentives for renewable energy cannot be ruled out. If this reduction occurs, market participants, including Abengoa, must reduce prices to remain competitive with other alternatives. If cost reductions and product innovation do not take place or take place more slowly than necessary to achieve a reduction in prices, this may have a significant negative effect on Abengoa’s business, financial position and the results of its operations. Since early 2008, the impact of the global financial crisis, which has particularly affected the global capital and credit markets, has been very notable. Concerns over geopolitical issues, inflation, energy costs, lack of credit fluidity, the high cost of debt, the sovereign debt crisis and the instability of the euro, among other factors, have led to a significant drop in expectations for the economy in general and, more strongly, in the capital markets. These factors —combined with the volatility of oil prices, the loss of consumer and business confidence and rising unemployment— have contributed to worsening the economic situation of many regions where Abengoa operates. The crisis has had a global impact, and has affected both the emerging and developed economies in which Abengoa conducts a significant part of its operations (i.e. Brazil, the United States and Spain). Economic growth and recovery, both globally and in the European Union, have returned since that time but they remain fragile and subject to limitations on financing in the private sector, concerns about future increases in interest rates and continued uncertainty surrounding the resolution of the euro zone crisis, and more specifically, the uncertainty hanging over the Greek economy. Consequently, uncertainty and economic instability may have an adverse material impact on operators’ decisions to invest in the products sold by Abengoa. The Company also faces significant competition from other suppliers of renewable energy. Regarding the solar energy industry, Abengoa estimates that competition will continue to increase as a result of the entry of new market participants and/or the substitution of renewable energy sources due to the increasing growing demand for the latter. Other factors that may contribute to this are the lower barriers to entry in these markets due to the standardization of the technologies, improved financing opportunities and increased government support. Although Abengoa strives to remain competitive, Abengoa cannot guarantee success over the competition. Should Abengoa fail to compete successfully, this could adversely affect the ability to grow the business and income generation, which could have a significant adverse effect on Abengoa’s business, financial position and the results of its operations. Abengoa is a Spanish company and its capital is denominated in euros. The effects on the global and European economy of the exit of one or more member states from the euro zone, such as Greece's possible exit from the European Union, the secession movement by Catalonia in Spain, the dissolution of the euro, and the possible redenomination of the share capital, financial instruments and other contractual obligations from the euro into another currency or the perception that any of these events may be imminent, are difficult to predict and may result in operational disruptions or other risks of contagion to the Company’s business and may have an adverse material effect on the business, financial position and operating results of the Company. Moreover, despite the Company’s low volume of business in Europe, to the extent that the uncertainty surrounding the economic recovery in Europe continues to adversely affect the state or regional budgets or the demand for environmental services, the Company’s business and operating results may be adversely affected. In this regard, a large number of the Company’s customers are implementing measures aimed at cost savings. These and other factors could, therefore, entail that the Company’s customers will reduce their spending budgets for Abengoa’s products and services. The results of the Engineering and Construction activity significantly depend on the growth of the company’s Concession-type Infrastructures and Industrial Production activities. The Engineering and Construction business is Abengoa’s most important activity in terms of revenues. A significant part of this business depends on the construction of new assets for the Concession-type Infrastructures activity, especially power plants, transmission lines and water infrastructures. If Abengoa is unsuccessful in winning new contracts in its Concession-type Infrastructures activity, the revenues and profitability of the Engineering and Construction activity will suffer.

ABENGOA Consolidated management report Page 192 Risks derived from a shift in public opinion about Abengoa’s activities • regulation and possible unanticipated changes that could have adverse retroactive effects for Abengoa; There are certain individuals, associations or groups that may oppose the projects carried out by Abengoa, such as the installation of renewable energy plants, due to reasons such as the misuse of water resources, landscape degradation, land use, food shortages or price increases thereof and damage to the environment. • the exchange/interest rate; • the possibility that governments could expropriate or nationalize assets or increase their involvement in the economy and management of companies, as well as not granting or revoking previously granted licenses; Although carrying out these infrastructure, engineering and building projects generally requires an environmental impact study and a public consultation process prior to granting the corresponding administrative authorizations, the company cannot guarantee that a specific project will be accepted by the local population. Moreover, in those areas in which facilities are located next to residential areas, opposition from local residents could lead to the adoption of restrictive rules or measures regarding the facilities. • the possible imposition of new and higher taxes or tariffs; • the possibility of economic crises, political instability or civil disturbances. For example, some of the contracts of Abengoa in Peru and Mexico are payable in local currency at the exchange rate on the payment date. In the event of a rapid devaluation or the establishment of exchange controls, Abengoa might not be able to convert to the local currency the amount agreed in dollars, which could affect the liquidity position of Abengoa. If part of the population or a particular competing company decides to oppose the construction of a project or takes legal action, this could make it difficult to obtain the corresponding administrative authorizations. In addition, legal action may request the adoption of precautionary measures that force construction to stop, which could cause problems for commissioning the project within the planned time frame causing the non-compliance with Abengoa’s business objectives. In addition, in recent years, we have experienced episodes of political and social instability, with regime changes and armed conflicts in certain countries in the Middle East and Africa, including Egypt, Iraq, Syria, Libya and Tunisia. These events have increased the political instability and economic uncertainty in some of the countries in the Middle East and Africa where Abengoa operates. Furthermore, hostile public opinion about the use of grain and sugar cane should not be readily dismissed either (albeit to a lesser extent in bioethanol production) since these are basic consumer goods that are significantly associated with shortages in the food market. In response to public pressure, governments may adopt measures to ensure that grain and sugar is diverted into food production instead of bioethanol, causing problems for existing production activities and Abengoa’s future expansion plans. Although activities in emerging countries are not concentrated in any specific country (except Brazil), the occurrence of one or more of these risks in a country or region in which Abengoa operates could have a significantly adverse effect on Abengoa’s business, financial position and the results of its operations. Internationalization and country risk Abengoa's policy is to hedge the country risk through country risk insurance policies (covering cases such as political violence, expropriation, nationalization, confiscation, regulatory risk, failure to pay amounts related to the investment, dividends, amortization of credits, contractual breaches by the authorities of the host country regarding the insured investment and revolution or war) and the transfer of risk to financial institutions through the corresponding financing agreements or other mechanisms. However, it is not possible to guarantee that these mechanisms will ensure full coverage of possible contingencies or the full recovery of damages in all cases. Abengoa has projects on 5 continents, some of them in emerging countries, including locations as diverse as Africa, Australia, China, India, Middle East, North and South America (including Brazil), and it is expected to expand operations to new locations in the future. Abengoa’s various operations and investments may be affected by different types of risk related to the economic, political and social conditions of the various countries in which the Company operates, particularly in countries with a higher degree of instability in the various factors cited and often referred to jointly as "country risk", which include: • the effects of inflation and/or the possible devaluation of local currencies; • possible restrictions on capital movements; Annual Report 2015

 


ABENGOA Consolidated management report Page 193 Risks derived from the difficulty of winning new projects or extending existing ones The materialization of any of these risks could cause delays in the commencement or completion of the projects planned, as well as raising their costs. It could also occur that not all the projects in the portfolio will be carried out. The ability to maintain the competitive position of Abengoa and meet its growth targets (particularly in projects for the production of biofuels and solar thermal power generation plants within the concession-type infrastructure business) depends on the possibilities of expanding current locations or purchasing or leasing new locations in strategically placed areas that meet the requirements required by the type of project. Government restrictions, including environmental, public health and technical restrictions, limit the places where Abengoa facilities can be located. Risks derived from associations with third parties when executing certain projects Abengoa undertakes large projects (both in terms of the resources allocated and the income derived therefrom), which are becoming increasingly more technically complex and are characterized by the award of the entire project to a single contractor. Given the complexity of the projects (usually designed ad hoc) they require the involvement of third parties specializing in the processes necessary to carry out certain activities related to such projects. Thus, it should be noted that, for example, solar power plants can only be built in locations with adequate, sufficient solar radiation levels, access to water, the possibility of connection to the electricity grid and specific topographical conditions. Consequently, the number of viable locations for installing a solar power plant is limited in most countries in which the Company operates (Spain and the United States), particularly as the number of installed solar plants increases and the number of available locations decreases. The increase in the number of solar energy operators in recent years has increased competition for available locations. In addition, although Abengoa conducts extensive studies before investing in the development of any location, the locations that Abengoa chooses may not achieve the expected result. In this regard, it should be noted that Abengoa has made investments in certain projects with third parties where such third parties provide technical expertise to the project. In certain cases, such collaborations are developed through UTEs (a type of temporary joint venture under Spanish law) or joint ventures over which Abengoa has only partial control or joint control. Projects developed through UTE or joint venture agreements are subject to the risk that the company’s partner may block decisions that may be crucial to the success of the project or investment in the project, and it runs the risk that these third parties may in some way implement strategies that are contrary to Abengoa’s economic interests, resulting in a lower return. Furthermore, the success of these partnerships depends on the satisfactory compliance by partners with their obligations. If third parties cannot satisfactorily meet their obligations due to financial or other difficulties, the said partnership may fail to perform or comply with its obligations towards a customer. In these circumstances, Abengoa could be required to make additional investments or provide additional services to ensure the provision of services, or take responsibility for breaches vis-à-vis the customer, or assume additional financial or operational obligations that could eventually lead to lower profits or losses. The development, construction and operation of new projects may be affected by factors commonly associated with those projects The development, construction and operation of traditional power plants, renewable energy plants, desalination plants, water treatment plants, power transmission lines, as well as other projects that Abengoa carries out, involve a highly complex process that depends on a large number of variables. For the proper development and financing of each project, Abengoa must obtain permits, authorizations and, in particular, environmental impact studies and adequate funding, as well as sign contracts for the purchase or rental of land, equipment supply and construction, operations and maintenance, transport and supply of fuel and purchase agreements for all or most of its production. These factors can significantly affect the ability to develop and complete new infrastructure projects. In view of these factors, the most common risks to these types of project are delays in obtaining regulatory approvals, including environmental permits and the inability to obtain financing, whether or not in satisfactory conditions. Operations with third parties expose the company to credit risk Abengoa is exposed to credit risk involving default by a counterparty (customer, supplier, partner or financial institution), which could have an impact on the business, financial position and results of its operations. The Company actively manages the credit risk of the customer through the use of non-recourse factoring agreements, which entail the involvement of banks and others who assume the credit risk of customers, as well as credit insurance. Abengoa manages the credit and market risks linked to the financial derivative instruments by establishing and controlling the limits on the types and degree of risk that can be taken on and signing operations with counterparties that have an "investment grade” credit rating. However, the risk management strategy of the Company may not be effective in limiting exposure to credit risk, which would have a significant adverse impact on the business, financial position and results of the Company. In the case of solar plants, the land where the plants are located are usually leased for a period of not less than 25 years of tariff right or as ownership property. Previously, during the development period, a lease option is signed with the owner under which Abengoa retains exclusive occupation of the land for a reasonable time, sufficient to determine whether or not a plant will finally be able to be built at that location. In some tenders it is necessary, among other requirements, to have ownership of the land or a lease option and the building permits. Annual Report 2015

 


ABENGOA Consolidated management report Page 194 The delivery of products and the provision of services to clients, and compliance with the obligations contractually agreed regarding amounts to be settled, or both types of damages, depending on what was determined in the contract in question. assumed with these clients, can all be affected by problems related to third-parties and suppliers Some Abengoa contracts require services, equipment or software that are outsourced to third parties, as well as material that is obtained from third party suppliers. The delivery of products or services that do not meet the contractual requirements or the late delivery of products and services may involve a breach in the contracts entered into with customers. Insofar as Abengoa is not able to transfer all the risk or obtain compensation from such third parties, Abengoa will be exposed to customer claims as a result of problems caused by such third party. If these claims are not resolved through settlement agreements, they could lead to long and costly court or arbitration proceedings. In addition, insurance coverage tends not to assume the liability of the Company on those occasions on which it has been convicted, or when the coverage under the policies is much lower than the amount payable by the Company in a possible unfavorable court ruling. Revenues from long term agreements: risks derived from the existence of termination and/or renewal clauses of the concession agreements managed by Abengoa; cancellation of pending projects in The unauthorized use of our products by third parties may reduce their value and prevent the company Engineering and Construction; and the non-renewal of distribution agreements in bioenergy from competing efficiently › Concessions Abengoa protects its property rights based on a combination of trade secrets and intellectual property laws, confidentiality agreements and other technical and contractual measures. These measures may not be enough to protect Abengoa technology against its misuse by third parties which, regardless of the actions that might be taken by Abengoa, could entail greater competition for Abengoa and loss of market share. In addition, these measures may not protect Abengoa against claims by employees and other third parties. Abengoa also takes on risks regarding the protection of its proprietary technology because the markets where the Abengoa products are sold include jurisdictions where there is less protection for intellectual property than in jurisdictions such as the United States or the Member States of the European Union. Projects involving the operation of concessions are governed by the provisions of public contracts, where the competent government agency has certain prerogatives, such as monitoring the effective enforcement of contracts through the requirement for submission of technical, administrative or financial reporting, or the unilateral modification (subject to certain limits) of the established commitments. In any case, these contracts are subject to revocation or termination clauses which may be applicable in cases of inadequate compliance with the commitments (on investment, compliance with efficiency and safety standards, etc.) established in those contracts. Also, some of the projects are subject to renewals by the competent government agency. In no case does the payback of the concessions depend on the renewal of the concession, without prejudice to the fact that if in the case in question the awarding body issues a lease renewal for an additional period and that extension is awarded to Abengoa, this could result in an additional expected return. Likewise, Abengoa is subject to the risk of claims and legal proceedings for alleged breach by Abengoa of the intellectual property rights of third parties. In the future, third parties could sue, alleging infringement by the present or future services or solutions of Abengoa. These claims could lead to costly and lengthy legal proceedings, could give rise to liability for Abengoa if it is concluded that Abengoa has infringed the intellectual property rights of third parties and, regardless of the ultimate outcome of the latter, could distract the management team’s attention from the usual business operations. › Bioenergy distribution agreements Abengoa sells biofuels through medium and long term agreements, mainly in Europe. If these contracts are not renewed or are renewed on less favorable terms, this may have an adverse effect on Abengoa’s business, financial position and the results of its operations. Risks derived from the company’s inability to effectively defend itself against third-party claims The Company’s projects often involve very complex management in the area of engineering (design, construction and systems) and the procurement of materials. The Company may encounter difficulties in the engineering phase, the delivery of equipment, in the quality of the subcontractors, in changes to schedules or other factors (some of which are beyond its control), affecting its ability to complete the project according to the original plans, or to meet contractual obligations. › Backlog in the Engineering and Construction activity It is important to note that the term “backlog” usually refers to projects, operations and services for which the company has commitments, but also includes projects, operations and services for which it does not have firm commitments (i.e. revocable commitments without penalty for the undertaking party). A large part of the projects are conditional upon other factors, usually the process of obtaining third party financing. Similarly, all the projects in the backlog are exposed to unexpected adjustments and cancellations, as well as early termination, variations or non-payment, since the projects may remain in the portfolio for an extended period of time. The Engineering and Therefore, the Company could be subject to lawsuits and claims that would also include those relating to costs passed on due to alleged defects or incomplete work, breach of warranty and/or delayed completion of the project and claims for suspended projects, damages to third parties or breach of contracts with customers. These claims could request consequential damages, as well as those damages Annual Report 2015

 


ABENGOA Consolidated management report Page 195 Construction contracts that Abengoa signs in the framework of the development of its projects are often executed over a period that may exceed 2 years to complete construction. This circumstance increases the chances that any of such contracts could be terminated early, while respecting the corresponding notice periods. These cancellation processes are legally or contractually regulated, with compensation procedures having been established. However, if any breach or default exists on the part of Abengoa, the Company may not be entitled to receive the compensation stemming from the early termination. In addition to the general responsibilities for each project, Abengoa must also assume the technical risk and the associated guarantee commitments. Likewise, Abengoa must ensure that at all times it respects the minimum levels of subcontracting permitted by regulations applicable in the construction sector and registers with the Register of Accredited Companies (a register which aims to prove that companies operating in the construction sector meet the requirements of capacity and quality in the prevention of occupational hazard), as well as monitoring that the subcontractors are duly registered. Otherwise, Abengoa could be jointly and severally liable for wages and social security. These circumstances should be taken into account especially in “turnkey” contracts. Abengoa cannot guarantee that the expected revenues from its “backlog” will materialize or, even if they do materialize, that they will lead to a profit. Due to the possible termination of projects, suspensions and changes in the schedule and scope of the project, it is not possible to predict with certainty when the backlog may be updated or whether it should be updated. Nor can Abengoa guarantee that additional cancellations will not occur and, even if a project progresses as planned, it is possible that the customer may become insolvent and not pay the amounts due to Abengoa. Material delays, cancellations and payment defaults could significantly affect Abengoa’s business, financial position and the results of its operations. Risks derived from lawsuits and other legal proceedings Abengoa is subject to the risk of claims and lawsuits and disciplinary sanctions in the regulatory environment during the ordinary course of its business. The results of the legal and regulatory proceedings is not predictable with certainty. Abengoa is a party to several lawsuits, proceedings, actions and investigations, including in relation to possible anti-competitive practices. The term “backlog” may not reflect the definition used by other companies with similar activities to those of Abengoa. Therefore, the determination of the backlog may not be comparable to other companies using a different definition. In particular, Abengoa has been sued in certain disputes brought before the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York and the Commercial Court in Seville, on behalf of certain investors of Abengoa, alleging infringement of the securities regulations in the US and Spain. According to Abengoa’s transition towards an “asset light” business model, Abengoa is refocusing its engineering and construction business towards “turnkey” and concessionary projects that require limited capital investment or no investment by Abengoa. In this regard, the backlog of “turnkey” and concessionary projects granted to Abengoa over the past two years has grown significantly. The nature of the Engineering and Construction business exposes the company to potential liability claims The Engineering and Construction business carries out operations in which flaws in the design, construction or systems can involve substantial damages to third parties. Moreover, the nature of the Engineering and Construction business means that customers, subcontractors and suppliers occasionally file claims against Abengoa to recover the costs they have incurred in excess of their provisions, or for those for which they do not consider themselves to be contractually liable. Abengoa has been and will be in the future a respondent in legal proceedings in which the parties claim damages and compensation in connection with Abengoa projects or other matters. These claims and lawsuits arise in the normal activity of the Company. In those cases in which it is concluded that Abengoa is liable, Abengoa may not be covered by its insurance or, should it be covered, the amount of these liabilities could exceed the limits of Abengoa’s policy. Risks arising from delays or cost overruns in the Engineering and Construction activity due to the technical difficulty of projects and the long term nature of their implementation In the Engineering and Construction activity, it is important to note that –with few exceptions– all of the agreements that Abengoa has entered into are ‘turnkey’ construction agreements (also known as "EPC agreements"). Under the terms of these agreements the client receives a completed facility in exchange for a fixed price. These projects are subject to very long construction periods of between one and three years. This type of agreement involves a certain amount of risk that the costs will be higher than those expected and the profitability of the project will be diminished since the price offered prior to beginning the project is based on cost estimates that can change over the course of the construction period, which can make certain projects unprofitable or even cause significant losses. Delays can result in cost overruns, deadlines being missed or penalty payments to the client, depending on what has been negotiated. Furthermore, in most EPC contracts Abengoa is responsible for every aspect of the project, from the engineering through to the construction, including the commissioning of the project. Risks derived from variations in the cost of energy Some of the activities of Abengoa, particularly ethanol production activities, involve significant energy consumption, particularly gas. Annual Report 2015

 


 

ABENGOA Consolidated management report Page 196 The profitability of activities that are highly reliant on these inputs is therefore sensitive to fluctuations in their prices. Despite the fact that agreements to purchase gas and other sources of energy normally include adjustment or hedging mechanisms against a rise in prices, the company cannot guarantee that these mechanisms will cover all of the additional costs that could be incurred from a rise in the price of gas or its other energy inputs (especially in long term agreements signed with clients and in agreements that do not include these adjustment clauses). Abengoa’s projects are insured with policies that comply with sector standards in relation to various types of risk, such as risks caused by nature; incidents during assembly, construction or transport; and loss of earnings associated with such events. All of the insurance policies taken out by Abengoa comply with the requirements demanded by the institutions that finance the company’s projects and the coverage is verified by independent experts for each project. Furthermore the insurance policies taken out are reviewed by the insurance companies. If insurance premiums increase in the future and cannot be passed on to the client, these additional costs could have a negative impact for Abengoa. The Company, as a rule, contracts financial instruments on the gas in order to control this price risk. Risks derived from the exposure of power generation revenues to electricity market prices The company’s activities may be negatively affected by catastrophes, natural disasters, adverse weather In addition to the incentives provided, the income of some of the Abengoa projects partially depends on market prices of electricity sales. Market prices of electricity can be volatile and are affected by several factors, including the cost of raw materials, user demand and, if applicable, the price of greenhouse gas emission allowances. conditions, unexpected geological conditions or other environmental circumstances, as well as by acts of terrorism at any of its sites In the event that an Abengoa site is affected by a fire, flood, adverse weather conditions or any other type of natural disaster, acts of terrorism, power outages and other catastrophes, or in the event of unexpected geological conditions or other unexpected environmental circumstances, the company may be unable or only partially able to continue operating these facilities. This could result in lower revenues from the affected site while the problem exists and lead to higher repair costs. In some of the jurisdictions in which Abengoa operates, the Company is exposed to compensation schemes involving components based on market prices and regulated incentives. In such jurisdictions, the regulated incentives component may not compensate for fluctuations in the market price component and, consequently, the total compensation could be volatile. Abengoa has taken out insurance against natural risks or acts of terrorism and the loss of earnings that may arise from stoppages. There is no assurance that the market prices shall remain at the levels that allow Abengoa to maintain profit margins and the desired rates of return on investment. The analysis of whether the IFRIC 12 ruling applies to certain contracts and activities, and determination Risks derived from a lack of available power transmission capacity, potential increases in transmission of the appropriate accounting treatment in the event that it is applicable, involves various complex network access costs and restrictions in other systems factors and is influenced by diverse legal and accounting interpretations In order to provide electricity from photovoltaic and CSP plants to Abengoa customers, the projects need to be connected to the power transmission networks. The lack of available capacity on the power transmission networks could have a substantial impact on projects and lead to reductions in the size of projects, delays in the implementation of projects and increased costs of upgrading the power transmission networks. These issues affecting power transmission, as well as issues concerning the availability of high-capacity systems such as transformers, could significantly affect the capacity to build CSP and photovoltaic plants and to generate sales of solar electric power. Abengoa records certain assets of the concession-type infrastructure business as service concession contracts in accordance with IFRIC 12. The infrastructure that Abengoa records as service concessions according to IFRIC 12 are primarily related to the power transmission lines business, desalination plants and solar thermal power generation plants outside and inside Spain. The analysis regarding whether or not IFRIC 12 applies to certain contracts and activities includes several complex factors and is significantly affected by legal interpretations of certain contractual arrangements or other terms and conditions with public sector bodies. In particular, the application of IFRIC 12 requires that the party that awards the concession should determine what services the operator using the infrastructure must provide, to whom and at what price, and that it also control any residual interest in the infrastructure at the end of the concession period. When the operator of the infrastructure is also responsible for engineering, procurement and construction of the asset, IFRIC 12 requires separate accounting for revenues and margins associated with the construction activities, which are not eliminated on consolidation even between companies within the same consolidated group, as well as for the consequent operation and maintenance of the infrastructure. In these cases, Insurance policies taken out by Abengoa may be insufficient to cover the risks arising from projects and the cost of insurance premiums may rise Abengoa’s projects are exposed to various types of risk that require appropriate coverage in order to mitigate their potential effects. Despite Abengoa’s attempts to obtain the correct coverage for the main risks associated with each project, it is impossible to guarantee that it is sufficient for every type of potential loss. Annual Report 2015

 


ABENGOA Consolidated management report Page 197 investment in the infrastructure used in the concession agreement may not be classified as property, plant and equipment of the operator, but rather should be classified as an intangible asset or financial assets, depending on the nature of the receivables established in the contract. Risks arising from operations in Brazil Abengoa has a permanent establishment in Brazil, which contributes significantly to its results. In Brazil Abengoa develops its three business areas, but at present the most notable area is that of construction and operation of electricity transmission lines. Therefore, the application of IFRIC 12 requires significant judgment in relation to, among other factors, (i) the identification of certain infrastructures and contracts within the scope of application of IFRIC 12; (ii) an understanding of the nature of the payments in order to determine the classification of the infrastructure as a financial asset or as an intangible asset; and (iii) the time scale and the recognition of revenues from the construction and concessionary business. Abengoa currently has certain electricity transmission line projects under construction. The inability to secure funds for some of the projects could have a significant impact on the profitability thereof or cause their delay or possible cancellation, with consequent penalties for Abengoa. On the other hand, the operations in Brazil present an exchange rate risk, since movements in the trading price of the Brazilian Reais may introduce volatility in Abengoa’s results. Abengoa has a broad policy of hedging the exchange rate risk. For example, in concessionary projects such as electricity transmission lines, the funds provided by financial institutions are locally obtainable in Brazilian Reais, the same currency in which the income is received, which constitutes a natural hedge to movements in the currency. Regarding the remaining risk, Abengoa contracts hedging instruments whenever economically feasible, thereby minimizing the impact that a potential devaluation of the Brazilian Reais could possibly have on Abengoa’s results. Changes in one or more of the factors described above could significantly affect the conclusions of Abengoa on the application of IFRIC 12 and, therefore, the results of its operations and financial position. Consequently, if it is determined that such assets do not fall within the scope of IFRIC 12, the associated revenues and margins obtained by Abengoa during the construction phase of the affected assets might not be recognized in accordance with IFRIC 12 and eliminated on consolidation, leading to a decrease in revenues and profits in the Consolidated Financial Statements of the period, and a reclassification of intangible assets to property, plant and equipment in the consolidated balance sheet. Therefore, if it is determined that these assets no longer fall within the scope of application of IFRIC 12, this would affect the comparability of the operating results of Abengoa and its financial position in the periods in which such determination was made. Risks derived from turnover in the senior management team and among key employees or from an inability to hire highly qualified personnel The recovery of tax losses depends on obtaining profits in the future, which in turn depends on Abengoa’s future success heavily relies on the participation of the entire senior management team and key employees, who have valuable experience in every business area. Abengoa’s capacity to retain and motivate senior executives and key employees and to attract highly skilled employees will significantly affect Abengoa’s ability to develop the business successfully and expand operations in the future. If Abengoa loses one or more of its senior executives or valuable local managers with significant experience in the markets in which it operates, Abengoa could find it difficult to appoint replacements. uncertain estimates Abengoa assesses the recovery of deferred tax assets on the basis of future taxable profit estimates. These estimates stem from the projections included in the 5-year and 10-year strategic plan prepared by Abengoa and drafted yearly and reviewed twice a year to ensure the accuracy of the assumptions used in their preparation. Based on current estimates, Abengoa expects to generate sufficient taxable income to recover the tax credits. Nevertheless, income may be affected by adverse circumstances that arise during the ordinary course of its business, as well as due to non-recurring extraordinary circumstances. A modification to estimates and assumptions by Management may result in the non-recognition of the recoverability of deferred tax assets in the balance sheet of the Company, if indeed it is considered unlikely that no taxable profits against which to offset the deductible temporary differences will be recorded, which will result in the recognition of the tax expense in the consolidated income statement, although there would be no impact on cash flows. Construction projects related to the Engineering and Construction activity and the facilities of the Concession-type Infrastructures and Industrial Production activities are hazardous workplaces Employees and other personnel that work on Abengoa’s construction projects for the Engineering and Construction activity and at the facilities of the concession-type infrastructures and Industrial Production activities are usually surrounded by large scale mechanical equipment, moving vehicles, manufacturing processes or hazardous materials, which are subject to wide-ranging regulations when they are used. Projects may involve the use of hazardous or highly regulated materials that, if not handled correctly or spilt, could expose the company to claims that result in all types of civil, criminal and administrative liabilities (fines or Social Security benefits surcharges). In relation to the tax loss carryforwards and deductions pending set-off recorded as deferred tax assets, the Company, based on the assessment made, expects to recover these through the projected taxable profit and the tax planning strategy, taking into account in the said assessment the possible reversions of deferred tax liabilities, as well as any limitation established by the tax regulations in force in each tax jurisdiction.

ABENGOA Consolidated management report Page 198 Despite the fact that the company has functional groups that are exclusively responsible for monitoring the implementation of the necessary health and safety measures, as well as working procedures that are compatible with protecting the environment, throughout the organization (including at construction and maintenance sites), any failure to comply with these regulations could result in liability for the company. In the event of non-compliance Abengoa could be found liable. that might be unavailable or might involve incurring substantial additional future debt, including secured debt, if available. Abengoa also has euro-denominated commercial paper issued to manage working capital demands. If short-term financing, non-recourse confirming for paying suppliers or euro-denominated commercial paper are not available and Abengoa cannot replace these sources of financing with other sources appropriately and in good time, this would have a significant adverse effect on Abengoa’s liquidity position and would, consequently, affect its working capital demands. Historical safety levels are a critical part of Abengoa’s reputation. Many of its clients expressly require the company to comply with specific safety criteria in order to be able to submit bids, and many contracts include automatic termination clauses or withdrawal of all or part of the contractual fees or profits in the event that the company fails to comply with certain criteria. Consequently, Abengoa’s inability to maintain adequate safety standards could result in lower profitability or the loss of clients or projects. The payment-management policy at Abengoa establishes as a general rule that all companies within the group must make their payments to providers and suppliers by non-recourse bank confirming payments (also known as non-recourse confirming) without differentiating between any providers from the group that for various reasons might be part of the supply chain for each company. In any case, whether it is an external provider or one from within the group, the underlying document of the non-recourse confirming will always be a commercial invoice deriving from the operational activities of a specific company. As at the date of these Consolidated Financial Statements, no agreements have been terminated, no penalties have been imposed and no material decreases in earnings have occurred due to failures to comply with safety-related obligations. The accounting treatment of this type of operations is not expressly covered in the IFRS regulations. Nonetheless, on October 27, 2015 the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) published a document in which it identifies its priorities for issuing financial statements corresponding to the year 2015, with the aim of promoting consistent application of international accounting standards across all issuers. The document in question indicated that confirming operations (also known as “reverse factoring”) should be analyzed depending on the economic substance of the agreements between the parties, with the aim of deciding whether the trade debt should be classified as financial debt within the statement of financial position and whether the flows should be classified as financial or operational in the cash flow statement. In any case, ESMA recommends that the issuer clearly sets out the accounting classification policy that it has applied, indicating the assumptions that have been made and the corresponding quantitative impacts. Abengoa operates with high levels of debt and could take on additional borrowing Abengoa’s operations are capital intensive and the company therefore operates with a really high level of indebtedness. The consolidated gross financial debt at December 31, 2015 was€ 9,396 million. Of the consolidated gross debt at December 31, 2015, €6,325 million correspond to corporate financing and €3,071 million to “project” financing. This is generally understood to be financing that does not have recourse to the parent company or controlling shareholder or another Abengoa company, but whose repayment is instead guaranteed by the flows and assets of the projects financed under this method, as well as by the shares of the project companies. In this sense, insofar as there are no substantial changes to the conditions of the trade debt (for example, modifications to the due date, value, or interest rates, where appropriate), the fact that after the confirming operation the new legal creditor is a financial institution in place of the original trade creditor does not change the economic character of the debt that originated from the operational activities of the group company. This interpretation is applicable both in cases where the debt was established with an external provider and with one from within the group. In this way, the accounting policy consistently applied by Abengoa in recent years for provider balances linked to confirming without recourse has been to keep them recorded up to their due date under the “Providers and other accounts payable” heading of the statement of financial position independently of whether the creditor has assigned the collection rights to a financial institution and whether they originate from an external provider or from within the group. In the case of group providers there might be particular factors that could give rise to different interpretations. Of the €3,071 million in “project” financing at December 31, 2015, approximately €2,049 million correspond to bridge loans, in which Abengoa and/or its subsidiaries (distinct from the “project” subsidiaries) guarantee bonds for the purpose of acting as sponsors during the period prior to the period in which the project companies guarantee the financing of the project in the long term (typically periods of under 2-3 years). In the case of failure to comply with these obligations, the creditors would have recourse against Abengoa and any other subsidiary that might have guaranteed these bonds. If it has not been possible to assign the bridge financing to projects under construction, this financing will be classified in the consolidated statement of financial position as corporate financing, depending on the nature of the loan. Abengoa has significant short term financing lines and non-recourse confirming in order to finance and manage its working capital requirements. If these lines and the non-recourse confirming were withdrawn, reduced, or became unavailable, Abengoa would have to obtain other sources of finance Annual Report 2015

 


ABENGOA Consolidated management report Page 199 Nonetheless, if in the future there is a change in the interpretation of the relevant agencies that does not coincide with the interpretation applied to date, the Management will modify the criteria set out above. • Delay or reduce investment in fixed assets (capex); • Forgo business opportunities, including acquisitions; or • Restructure or refinance all, or part, of the debt when it matures or before then. Finally, it is worth noting that, in any case, this change would not have any impact on compliance with the debt ratio given that, in accordance with what is set out in the corresponding financing agreements, provider balances connected to non-recourse confirming are explicitly excluded from the figures to include in determining the debt ratio. If Abengoa breaches any of the debt servicing obligations or breaches any related financial or operational limitation, the creditors could declare the total value of the debt immediately due and payable and could foreclose on any asset pledged as collateral. Furthermore, some of the financing agreements contain cross default clauses, meaning that breach of one specific financing agreement will automatically count as a breach of other financing agreements. Some of the financing agreements also contain cross default clauses relating to financing agreements of other sponsors that are not related with Abengoa. These cross default clauses could accentuate the effect of an individual breach. Consequently, a breach relating to debt could entail a substantial loss for Abengoa and could have a significant adverse effect on the ability of Abengoa and its subsidiaries to meet their respective obligations regarding said debt. Abengoa's debt could increase in the future for various reasons, including fluctuations in operating results, investment in fixed assets (capex), and possible acquisitions or joint ventures. Abengoa's high level of debt could, amongst others, have the following consequences: • Impede the successful refinancing of future maturities; • Impede compliance with obligations relating to pending debt; Despite the significant current leverage, the terms of the agreements relating to debt allow Abengoa and its subsidiaries, joint ventures, and associates to incur substantial extra debt in the future, including secured debt. Furthermore, the terms of the debt do not limit the value of the “project” financing that can be incurred, including “project” financing in the form of bridge loans secured by Abengoa and/or its subsidiaries. If Abengoa incurs additional debt, the current risks might intensify. • Make future borrowing more expensive; • Increase vulnerability to general adverse economic and industrial conditions; • Inability to fulfill short-term payment obligations; • The need to dedicate a substantial volume of operational cash flows to payments relating to the debt, thus reducing the availability of the cash flows to finance the working capital, investment in fixed assets (capex), R&D&i investment, and other business aims; On the other hand, on the date of presentation of these Consolidated Annual Accounts, Abengoa is complying with all of the financial covenants of the agreements entered into and in force. Under the terms of certain finance agreements, in which Abengoa normally acts as borrower, lenders have the right to request the early maturity of the debt, with interest, fees, and expenses accrued, if a natural or legal person other than the controlling shareholder (Inversión Corporativa IC, S.A.), acquires control of Abengoa. • Restrict the ability to make dividend payments and that the subsidiaries make dividend payments to Abengoa in view of the payment limitations and restrictions set out in the financing agreements; • Limit flexibility in planning or in reaction to changes in the business and markets in which Abengoa operates; Finally, under the terms of the debt issuances, the Company is obliged to offer the repurchase of the bonds if there is a change in control of the Company. • Put Abengoa at a competitive disadvantage compared to competitors with lower levels of debt; In the case of a change of control, Abengoa might be unable to obtain sufficient funds to be able to repay all of the outstanding debt under the finance agreements or to repurchase the bonds. • Limit the ability to borrow additional funds; and • Compromise the viability of the company. Risks derived from the need to make significant levels of investment in fixed assets (CAPEX) If the operational cash flows and other resources are insufficient to repay the obligations when they mature or to finance liquidity requirements, Abengoa might be obliged to carry out one or more of the following actions: In order to carry out its operations the Company requires a high level of investment in fixed assets (capex), principally in the area of concession-type infrastructure activity, as well as engineering and construction, investment that is expected to increase significantly over the next few years. Annual Report 2015

 


ABENGOA Consolidated management report Page 200 The Company has significant fixed asset (capex) investment needs relating to the construction of power transmission lines, solar energy plants and installations, power cogeneration plants, ethanol-production infrastructure, and desalination plants. The capex needs depend on the number and type of projects to be carried out in future. If these difficulties in accessing financing persist, it might not be feasible to close on the financing, something that might require additional investment by Abengoa or might result in not accomplishing the projects. The cost of this financing, and ultimately its very availability, might mean that the Company cannot invest in these projects and must abandon them, with the subsequent loss of the development costs incurred and the expected future profitability. The Company is in a phase of expansion of its own assets and plants for concession-type infrastructure activity. Return on investment, especially that made in concessions, will occur in the long term (more than 10 years) and there is a risk that some of the Company's projects will not deliver a return on investment because of operational problems attributable to the company or for reasons external to it. In this regard, as has happened in the past (e.g. projects in Brazil, Chile, and Mexico), it is possible that Abengoa's investments in fixed assets (capex) will be greater than initially envisaged. The perception of the market in relation to the instability of the euro, a potential return to national currencies in the Eurozone or the complete disappearance of the euro could affect the company’s business As a result of the credit crisis in Europe, in particular in Greece, Italy, Ireland, Portugal, and Spain, the European Commission created the European Financial Stability Fund (“EFSF”) and the European Financial Stability Mechanism (“EFSM”) to provide finance to Eurozone countries in financial difficulties that requested this help. Throughout 2012 certain Eurozone countries announced austerity programs and other cost reduction initiatives, and the EFSF was permitted to expand its powers to provide direct finance to certain financial bodies in the Eurozone, including certain Spanish bodies. Furthermore, the European Central Bank (“ECB”) has indicated its willingness to take additional measures to support the euro if necessary. In January 2015, the ECB revealed quantitative easing measures to be performed until September 2016, aimed at boosting the economy of the Eurozone and at avoiding deflationary situations. These measures and guidelines have helped, or it is hoped that they will help, to stabilize the euro between 2012 and 2015. There is no certainty that recent disruptions in Europe regarding sovereign debt will not reoccur or that the aid packages will be available again or, even if they were, that they would be sufficient to stabilize the countries and markets affected in Europe or in other areas. Furthermore, there is the risk that new financial conditions will be imposed, as the Brazilian government did in the first half of 2015 by reducing the permitted leverage in relation to power transmission line projects in that country and increasing the a value of the capital that must be invested. In addition, Abengoa's Extraordinary General Meeting held on October 10, 2015 agreed to instruct the Board of Directors of the Company to abide by the following limitations when exercising its powers for approving the policy for commitments to investment in fixed assets (capex): (i) It must heed the fixed asset (capex) investment commitments in projects assumed through October 10, 2015. (ii) For fiscal year 2015, it shall not assume new capital investment (capex) commitments in new projects. (iii) As regards new fixed asset (capex) investment commitments in new projects from January 1, 2016, the maximum investment amount for each fiscal year shall be €50 million (€50,000,000). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the above limit shall cease to apply if: (i) the ratio of corporate gross debt (which includes non-recourse debt in process and bridge financing, as such concepts are defined in the Company’s consolidated audited annual financial statements) to corporate EBITDA is less than 3.5x, or (ii) the Company achieves a rating of at least BB-, by Standard and Poors or Ba3 by Moody’s. This uncertainty persists in relation to the debt of certain Eurozone countries and regional governments and the solvency of particular European financial entities and their ability to face up to their future financial obligations. The prolonged adverse market conditions have created doubts about the overall stability of the euro and about the suitability of the euro as a single currency given the diverse political and economic circumstances of the member states. These and other concerns could lead to the reintroduction of individual currencies in one or more member states or, in more extreme circumstances, the dissolution of the euro. If the euro were to be dissolved, the legal and contractual consequences for the bearers of obligations denominated in euros would be decided by the laws in place at that time. The transformation of these potential events or the market's perceptions of these questions and others related ones could have a significant adverse effect on the Company's business and financial situation, as a significant amount of the Company's debt is denominated in euros. The high investment needs imply a reliance on access to capital markets and bank financing both to finance new projects and to meet the general corporate finance requirements. The problems accessing financing, motivated amongst other reasons by the existing high level of debt, might increase the cost of obtaining financing, or it might even not be possible to obtain it, with a subsequent reduction in the internal rate of profit of the projects that partially depend on the Company's degree of leverage. Annual Report 2015

 


ABENGOA Consolidated management report Page 201 Risks derived from a cut in the company’s credit rating Risks relating to the impossibility of completing the enhanced plan for disinvestment in assets throughout the 2016 financial year The credit ratings affect the cost and other terms under which Abengoa can obtain financing (or refinancing). Rating agencies evaluate Abengoa regularly and their credit ratings are based on a number of factors, some of which are outside Abengoa's control. A key element of the Company’s comprehensive action plan launched on September 24, 2015 to reduce the corporate debt, improve the liquidity position, and stabilize operations and relationships with Abengoa commercial partners are the implementation of the Company’s enhanced plan for disinvestment in assets. In accordance with this program, it is expected that approximately €1,200 million will be obtained by the end of the 2016 financial year (including €500 million from the disinvestments plan announced on August 3, 2015) through the sale of assets and monetization of all or part of the economic rights (realization of the economic rights by issuing some type of financial instrument, for example, convertible bond or equity preference) of Abengoa’s stake in Atlantica Yield or the sale in a private process of all or part of Abengoa’s stake in Atlantica Yield. Any future reduction in Abengoa’s rating (or also in the general rating of Spain), could adversely affect Abengoa’s ability to obtain financing under commercially acceptable terms or in any other way, with the outcome of the cost of financing increasing significantly and this reduction interfering in Abengoa’s ability to implement its strategy of reducing corporate debt and improving the Company’s liquidity position. Abengoa cannot guarantee that falls in the rating of Spain or of Abengoa will not occur in future. The evolution of interest rates and exchange rates and the company’s hedging could affect its results Abengoa's ability to obtain at least approximately €1,200 million through the implementation of the enhanced plan for disinvestment in assets before the end of the 2016 financial year is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including, amongst others, the following: In the normal course of its business, the company is exposed to various types of market risk, including the impact of interest rate movements. Part of its borrowing accrues interest at variable interest rates, normally linked to benchmarks such as EURIBOR and LIBOR. Any increase in interest rates would increase the financial costs associated with the variable interest rate, and would increase the cost of refinancing existing borrowing and issuing new debt. • Adverse market and macroeconomic conditions that might have a negative effect on investors' interest in purchasing these assets; • The non-existence of purchasers who wish to acquire the assets at the prices and under the terms that Abengoa considers appropriate to obtain the desired profitability and meet the liquidity requirements; In project financing, as a general rule, hedges are carried out to the value of 80 % of the amount and term of the respective financing, through hedging arrangements and/or swaps. In corporate financing, as general rule, 80 % of the debt is covered throughout the term of the debt; in addition, in 2009, 2010, 2013 and 2014 Abengoa issued notes on the capital market at a fixed interest rate. • Interested buyers might not have financing under terms that are favorable for them or might not have any financing to buy Abengoa's assets; • The government authorities that granted the concessions or others partner organizations in the relevant contracts might not give their consent to the transfer of the concession or of the long-term power purchase agreement in time or under terms that are acceptable to Abengoa or the buyer of the asset; Abengoa is exposed to exchange rate risk in operations denominated in a currency that is not the functional currency of each of the companies in its group. As the group’s international activities grow, a significant part of its operations may be carried out in currencies other than the functional currency of each company. • The lenders of the project financing associated with the assets for sale might not give their consent to the sale of the assets in question in time or under terms that are acceptable for Abengoa; and Abengoa actively manages this exposure by using options and interest rate swaps to cover exposure to interest rates and futures contracts and exchange rate swaps to cover the exposure to foreign exchange rates. • Abengoa's equity partners in the project companies associated with the assets for sale might not give their consent to the sale of the assets in question in time or under terms that are acceptable for Abengoa; and As a general rule foreign exchange hedging instruments over any position in a currency other than the Company’s reference currency are carried out by exchange rate insurance principally, analyzing case by case the existing foreign currency exposure.

ABENGOA Consolidated management report Page 202 Risks derived from reduced financial and operational flexibility because of the limitations and obligations If Abengoa does not manage to implement the enhanced plan for disinvestment in assets at the end of the 2016 financial year, Abengoa might not be able to repay the corporate financing and project financing, that is due during the rest of the 2015 financial year and up to September 30, 2016, and might have to restructure or refinance these obligations. Abengoa could also be unable to stabilize its operations and its relationships with commercial partners and might have to delay or reduce its investments in fixed assets (capex) or reject business opportunities. Furthermore, Abengoa’s inability to carry out the enhanced plan for disinvestment in assets could lead to a reduction in Abengoa’s credit rating, something that could impede its ability to obtain financing under commercially acceptable terms or in any other form, increase the cost of financing or interfere in its ability to develop the corporate strategy. Furthermore, Abengoa’s inability to complete the sales during 2016 of the assets that are identified as assets available for sale, the sale of which it considers to be highly probable. This would prevent Abengoa from continuing to classify any asset and related liability that has not been sold as available for sale and would entail the reclassification of the asset and related liability, including the debt, in the Consolidated Financial Statements, which would have the effect of increasing the levels of corporate financing and project financing. established in financing agreements The agreements relating to the indebtedness and other financial obligations of Abengoa and some of its subsidiaries contain affirmative and negative limitations and obligations, including the requirement to maintain certain financial ratios. Depending on the agreement, these obligations and limitations reduce operational flexibility by limiting the capacity of Abengoa and of certain subsidiaries to, amongst other matters: incur additional debt, make distributions, loans and other types of restricted payments; liquidate or dissolve companies; enter into spin-off, transformation, merger or acquisition agreements, subject to certain exceptions provided for in the agreement itself; and change the nature or scope of the business lines. The restrictions on the ability of Abengoa's subsidiaries to transmit assets to Abengoa through loans, advances, or dividends without the consent of third parties is significant. Project financing agreements generally prohibit distributions to Abengoa, unless certain specific conditions are met, including compliance with financial ratios. If Abengoa or one of its subsidiaries does not fulfill some of these obligations and limitations, a breach could be declared that, if it is not remedied or waived, could lead to the early cancellation of the debt and could limit the ability of the subsidiaries to make distributions to Abengoa. Risks arising from the need to generate positive cash flows. Risks deriving from “project” financing As a result of the investments made in Abengoa's different activities in 2015, 2014, 2013 and 2012 in fixed assets (capex), Abengoa has generated a significant volume of negative cash flows in these periods, and liabilities at the end of each of these periods have exceeded tangible assets. Abengoa tries to finance certain significant projects and investments, including investments in fixed assets (capex) relating to concessions or to regulated tariff agreements primarily through financing agreements that, with certain exceptions, require the financing to be repaid exclusively with the income from the project that is being financed, so that repayment of the financing (and the interest on it) is exclusively guaranteed by the shares, fixed assets, contracts and cash flows of the project company. The high level of debt requires the dedication of a substantial part of the operational cash flow to debt payment, thus reducing Abengoa's ability to make payments, refinance the debt and finance investments in fixed assets (capex) and in R&D&i initiatives. Furthermore, a substantial part of the “project” financing of the project companies is fully amortized during the term of this financing and Abengoa is confident in the generation of cash flows by these project companies to meet these payment obligations. Abengoa's cash flows are, to a great degree, subject to economic, financial, competition, legislative, regulatory and other factors that are outside the Company's control. However, Abengoa cannot guarantee that the business will generate sufficient cash flows from operations; that the ongoing cost savings and operational improvements will be made in the anticipated timescale; that Abengoa will be able to maintain the same terms regarding receipts and payments and therefore maintain the negative working capital balance; or that future provisions of financing agreements will be sufficient to cover the debt, finance other liquidity requirements or make it possible to continue with the plan for investment in fixed assets (capex). Abengoa may have to refinance all or part of the debt on the debt it matures or before then. Abengoa cannot guarantee that it will be able to refinance this debt under commercially reasonable terms. Even when the creditors under the “project” financing do not have a direct claim against Abengoa or its subsidiaries, except against the borrowing project companies, a breach by the borrowing project companies might have significant consequences for Abengoa and its subsidiaries, including, without limitations: • A reduction in receipts of dividends, charges, interest payments, loans and other sources of cash, as the project company is prohibited from distributing cash to Abengoa and its subsidiaries for as long as this breach remains in place; • Recording a loss in the event that the lender forecloses on any of the assets of the project company; and • The loss or reduction of investor and creditor confidence in Abengoa.

ABENGOA Consolidated management report Page 203 Risks arising from Company's dividend policy obtained that is sold (bioethanol, sugar, distilled grain and solubles, etc.). These prices are subject to a high degree of volatility and uncertainty. Under the framework of the action plan announced by the Company on September 24, 2015, Abengoa’s Board of Directors agreed at its meeting on September 23, 2015 to suspend payment of cash dividends for as long as the Company does not have a rating of, at least, BB-from Standard & Poors or Ba3 from Moody’s or a leverage ratio of gross corporate debt (including bridge financing or non-recourse debt in process) according to the last balance sheet approved, to corporate EBITDA corresponding to the twelve months immediately previous to the date of this balance, less than 3.5 times. The prices and supply of maize, the main raw material for production of ethanol, are decided by various market factors that are outside Abengoa's control that are typical of commodities (balance of supply and demand – national or global – speculative flows) or are external to the market, such as the climate, scarcity, export prices, and certain protectionist government policies in the United States, Europe, Brazil and the rest of the world. During the years 2011, 2012, and 2013, Abengoa’s bioethanol business faced adverse market conditions, principally the large increase in the price of the raw materials (maize and sugar) because of the poor crops in those years and the fall in the price of ethanol as a consequence of low demand for gasoline, especially in the United States market. These market conditions improved significantly during 2014, the recovery of the price of ethanol also being favored by the normalization of the price of the raw material that improved the profitability of the business. In 2015, there is again a difficult market environment, fundamentally in the United States, owing to the reduction in the price of ethanol determined, in part, by the price of gasoline. If the Company does not obtain the rating described above or a gross corporate debt ratio lower than the previously indicated figure, the Company will not distribute cash dividends to its shareholders. Risks derived from the correlation between the prices of sugar, oil and sugar cane. In general, the price of ethanol correlates with the price of sugar and, up to a certain point, with the price of oil. A significant part of the ethanol produced in Brazil is produced in sugar-cane mills that produce both ethanol and sugar, so the prices of both products are correlated and the correlation between ethanol and sugar increases over time. Moreover, sugar prices in Brazil are determined by prices in the global market so there is a strong correlation between ethanol prices in Brazil and global sugar prices. As a consequence of the volatility of the prices of these commodities, the operating results of the biofuels sector of the Industrial Production activity might fluctuate considerably. The increase in the prices of the raw materials (maize and gas mainly) or the fall in the prices of the products obtained (ethanol) could mean that Abengoa’s operation of the production plants ceases to be profitable. Given that flex-fuel vehicles allow consumers to choose between gasoline and ethanol in gas stations, the prices of ethanol are ever-more correlated positively with the prices of gasoline and, consequently, with the prices of oil. Abengoa believes that this positive correlation between products will increase over time. In the same way, a reduction in sugar prices will have a negative effect on the financial development of the ethanol and sugar businesses, and the current reduction in the price of oil could have a significant adverse effect on Abengoa’s business, financial situation and operating results. Nonetheless, biofuels are not the only alternative fuel for the transport sector currently being developed in the market. Future demand for fuel will depend on the relative attractiveness of other technologies, such as electrical vehicles, synthetic fuels, and other fossil fuels such as methane or liquid gas. Some of these technological initiatives receive public support from governments. If biofuels do not continue to be an attractive and competitive alternative fuel for gasoline and other emerging technologies, this could have an adverse effect on the business, financial situation and operational results of Abengoa. Abengoa is aware of the impact that prices of raw materials have on the activity of biofuel production, and to mitigate the risk associated with these prices, insofar as it is possible, it has a policy of not committing to the production and sale of biofuels until it has ensured the supply of the necessary raw materials, something that considerably diminishes uncertainty regarding the margins obtained. In the USA and Europe maize is insured on the international markets, while in Brazil, owing to the particular characteristics of sugar cane there are supply agreements with farmers from areas close to the plants. Likewise, Abengoa uses risk coverage strategies, including futures sales contracts and options that are listed on organized markets, as well as other over the counter contracts to mitigate the risk deriving from an increase in the purchase price of raw materials, as well as of the sale price of the final product. While they do not eliminate them completely, these strategies considerably reduce Abengoa's exposure to the price of commodities and to procurement risks. Risks derived from sensitivity in the demand for raw materials for bioenergy production and volatility in the price of the end product The profitability of the biofuels sector within Abengoa’s Industrial Production activity is affected by the prices of the commodities, including Abengoa’s capacity to manage the price differentials (spreads) between the raw materials that must be acquired (maize, sugarcane, natural gas, etc.) and the product Annual Report 2015

 


ABENGOA Consolidated management report Page 204 Risks relating to changes in technology, prices, industry standards, and other factors times its financial rights); and that, should this situation arise, it will sell the necessary amount of Class A shares or will convert them into Class B shares in order to maintain this ratio. The markets in which Abengoa's activities operate change quickly owing to technological innovations and to changes in the prices, industry standards, client requirements, and the economic environment. New technology or changes in the industry and in clients' requirements might mean that existing products and services become obsolete, excessively expensive, or not easily marketable. Consequently, Abengoa must improve the efficiency and reliability of existing technologies and pursue the development of new technologies to remain at the forefront of industry standards and the requirements of clients. Abengoa must continue to incur significant R&D&i expenses to maintain and improve its competitive position. Some of Abengoa's competitors might have substantially greater financial resources than Abengoa. If the Company is unable to introduce and integrate new technologies into its products and services in a timely and cost effective manner or does not obtain the necessary financing to carry out appropriate R&D&i activities, Abengoa’s competitive position and growth prospects will deteriorate, something that might in turn have an adverse material impact on Abengoa’s business, financial situation, and operating results. Similarly, through the shareholder agreement with First Reserve Corporation (another shareholder in the company), Inversión Corporativa IC, S.A. has agreed that while FRC or any of its related companies owns Abengoa Class B shares or any other instrument that is convertible or exchangeable for Abengoa Class B shares, they will not propose or request the Board of Directors to recommend to shareholders any modification to the company’s bylaws that adversely affects the equal rights between Class B and Class A shares in relation to the distribution of dividends or similar distributions as established in the bylaws and that if this proposal were to be submitted by another shareholder, or by the Board of Directors, they will vote against it. The existence of two share classes, Class A and Class B, with different voting rights, could deter third parties from carrying out transactions to take control of the company Abengoa has two types of share with different voting rights. Class A shares have the right to 100 votes per share while the Class B shares have the right to 1 vote per share. The company has a controlling shareholder Owing to the different voting rights that derive from the Class A Shares and the Class B Shares, shareholders with Class A Shares will have significant voting rights regarding matters that require the approval of the shareholders, including naming directors and significant company operations, such as the merger or sale of the Company or its assets. Given that this concentrated control is a disincentive for the other shareholders to promote a possible merger, takeover offer, or any other operations involving change of control that shareholders with Class B Shares might regard as beneficial, the market price of the Class B Shares might be adversely affected. As at the reference date of the Consolidated Financial Statements, Inversión Corporativa I.C., S.A. is direct and indirect holder of 51.78% of the voting rights in Abengoa. Consequently, this company controls Abengoa under the terms of Article 42 of the Code of Commerce and can therefore exert a controlling influence over certain issues that require the shareholders’ approval, notwithstanding the protective measures and the separate voting rights corresponding to Class B shares in certain cases, pursuant to the company’s bylaws. Conflicts could arise from differences between the interests of Inversión Corporativa I.C., S.A. and the remaining shareholders, which may be resolved by the controlling shareholder in a way that does not suit the interests of the other shareholders. In addition, shareholders with Class B shares might not have the same protections as shareholders with Class A Shares in the event that a takeover offer is made by a third bidder for all of the shares in the Company with voting rights. In accordance with Spanish legislation regarding takeover bids, it is unclear whether in this case the bidder would be obliged to offer shareholders with Class B Shares the same price per share than to the shareholders with Class A Shares. Abengoa’s Bylaws establish a right of redemption for shareholders with Class B Shares at a price that is equal to that offered by the bidder to shareholders with Class A Shares in those cases in which a takeover bid is made for all of the shares with a vote in the Company that does not offer the same treatment to shareholders with Class A Shares and to the shareholders with Class B Shares. Given that the inclusion of this right of redemption in the Bylaws might be a disincentive to launching a voluntary takeover bid that shareholders with Class B Shares could see as beneficial, the market price of the Class B Shares could be adversely affected. Nevertheless, Inversión Corporativa IC, S.A. has signed a shareholder agreement with the company, in which it agrees to the following, among other issues, (i) only exercise its voting rights up to a maximum of 55.93% (the percentage of votes that it had at the date of signing the shareholder agreement) in cases in which, as a result of exercising the right to convert Class A shares into Class B shares, as stated in the company’s bylaws, the total voting rights that it holds as a percentage of the total voting rights of the company increases; and (ii) that the percentage represented at any given time by the number of shares that it holds with the right to vote (whether these are Class A shares or Class B shares) of the total number of company shares, will not be less than one quarter of the percentage represented by the voting rights that these shares attribute to Inversión Corporativa IC, S.A. at any given time, in relation to the company’s total voting rights (in other words, that its voting rights will not be greater than four Annual Report 2015

 


ABENGOA Consolidated management report Page 205 Risks of conflicts between the bylaw provisions and the constraints included in the debt preferential subscription rights, that allow them, after exercising them, to maintain their respective entitlement of Abengoa’s share capital. Abengoa’s Bylaws establish a right of redemption for shareholders with Class B Shares in those cases in which a takeover bid is made for all of the voting shares with voting rights in the Company through which the bidder attains a percentage of voting rights equal to or greater than 30 % (or a smaller percentage, if the bidder attains a stake that enables it to appoint more than half of the directors) at the price of the takeover bid, unless these shareholders had the right to participate in the offer in the same way and under the same conditions and, in any case, they will be offered the same price as was offered to shareholders with Class A Shares. Although they have identical economic rights, the Class A and Class B shares have in the past sold at different prices. Abengoa cannot guarantee that the sale price of the Class B Shares will be correlated with the sale price of Class A Shares in the future. Shareholders in countries with non-euro currencies may incur additional risk associated with variations in the exchange rate in relation to holding the company’s shares The company's Class B shares have been admitted to trading on the US stock market through ADSs denominated in US dollars. With regards to holding US dollar-denominated ADSs , shareholders in countries with non-euro currencies incur additional risk due to variations in the exchange rate. Therefore, the price of the ADSs and the dividends paid may be unfavorably affected by fluctuations in the Euro-US Dollar exchange rate. The financing agreements and other debt instruments that establish the terms and conditions for Abengoa’s existing indebtedness contain restrictions on Abengoa’s ability to repurchase or redeem the shares. Abengoa could be obliged by its Bylaws to redeem the Class B Shares (including any Class A Shares converted into Class B Shares in accordance with their terms) including in circumstances in which this payment would entail contravening the constraints and obligations under the financing agreements, something that could lead to early cancellation of the corresponding debt. Under these circumstances, Abengoa might not be able to meet or refinance its payment obligations under satisfactory conditions for Abengoa or in any other way, in which case, the business, the results of operations, the financial situation and there could be a significant negative impact on the market price of the Class B Shares. 4.1.3. Client concentration During the years 2014 and 2013 there is no client that contributes more than 10% of revenue 4.2. Financial risk management 4.2.1. Market risk Risk of significant sales of shares Future sales of substantial numbers of Class A Shares, Class B Shares and/or financial instruments linked to them in the market, or the perception that these sales could take place, could negatively affect the prices of the Class A Shares and Class B Shares and could impede Abengoa’s ability to obtain capital through future offers of shares or of instruments linked to the shares. No prediction can be made about the effect, where applicable, that future sales of Class A Shares and/or Class B Shares or their availability and/or the availability of financial instruments linked to them for future sales will have on the price of the Class A Shares or Class B Shares. Market risk arises when group activities are exposed fundamentally to financial risk derived from changes in foreign exchange rates, interest rates and changes in the fair values of certain raw materials. To hedge such exposure, Abengoa uses currency forward contracts, options and interest rate swaps as well as future contracts for commodities. The Group does not generally use derivatives for speculative purposes. › Foreign exchange rate risk: the international activity of the Group generates exposure to foreign Possibility of differences in the listed prices of Class A shares and Class B shares despite the fact that exchange rate risk. Foreign exchange rate risk arises when future commercial transactions and assets and liabilities recognized are not denominated in the functional currency of the group company that undertakes the transaction or records the asset or liability. The main exchange rate exposure for the Group relates to the US Dollar against the Euro. both share classes have similar financial rights While the Class B Shares have different voting rights than Class A Shares, both types of share are identical with regards to their economic rights. In particular, each Class B Share gives its bearer, amongst other matters, the rights to receive the same dividend, the same payment on liquidation, the same reimbursement of contributions in the case of a capital decrease, the same distribution of reserve of any type or of the issuance bonus and any other assignment as the Class A Shares. Furthermore, in the event of a capital increase, the bearers of Class A Shares and Class B Shares have the same To control foreign exchange risk, the Group purchases forward exchange contracts. Such contracts are designated as fair-value or cash-flow hedges, as appropriate. Annual Report 2015

 


ABENGOA Consolidated management report Page 206 In the event that the exchange rate of the US Dollar had risen by 10% against the euroas of December 31, 2015, with the rest of the variables remaining constant, the effect in the Consolidated Income Statement would have been a loss of €27,185 thousand (loss of €1,103 thousand on 2014) mainly due to the US Dollar net asset position of the Group in companies with eurofunctional currency and a decrease of €1,649 thousand (increase of € 36,615 thousand in 2014) in other reserves as a result of the cash flow hedging effects on highly probable future transactions. › Risk of change in commodities prices: arises both through the sale of the Group’s products and the purchase of commodities for production processes. The main risk of change in commodities prices for the Group is related to the price of grain, ethanol, sugar, gas, and steel. In general, the Group uses futures and options listed on organized markets, as well as OTC (over-the-counter) contracts with financial institutions, to mitigate the risk of market price fluctuations. In the event that the grain price had risen by 10% as of December 31, 2015, with the rest of the variables remaining constant, the effect in the Consolidated Income Statement would have been null (null in 2014 and a decrease of €1,349 thousand (increase of € 49,086 thousand in 2014) in other reserves as a result of the cash flow hedging effects on highly probable future transactions. Details of the financial hedging instruments and foreign currency payments as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 are included in Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. › Interest rate risk: arises mainly from financial liabilities at variable interest rates. In the event that the ethanol price had risen by 10% as of December 31, 2015, with the rest of the variables remaining constant, the effect in the Consolidated Income Statement would have been null in 2015 (null in 2014) and an increase of €8,673 thousand in 2014 in other reserves Abengoa actively manages its risks exposure to variations in interest rates associated with its variable interest debt. In project debt (see Note 19 to the Consolidated Financial Statements), as a general rule, the Company enters into hedging arrangements for at least 80% of the amount and the timeframe of the relevant financing. A breakdown of the commodity derivative instruments as of December 31, 2015 ad 2014 is included in Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. In addition, certain Bioenergy Business Group companies engage in purchase and sale transactions in the grain and ethanol markets, in accordance with a management policy for trading transactions. In corporate financing (see Note 20 to the Consolidated Financial Statements), as a general rule, 80% of the debt is covered throughout the term of the debt; in addition, in 2009, 2010, 2013, 2014 and 2015, Abengoa issued notes at a fixed interest rate. Management has approved and supplemented trading strategies to control the purchase and sale of forward and swap contracts, mainly for sugar, grain and ethanol, which are reported on a daily basis, following the internal procedures established in the Transactions Policy. As a risk-mitigation element, the company sets daily limits or ‘stop losses’ for each strategy, depending on the markets in which it operates, the financial instruments purchased and the risks defined in the transaction. The main interest rate exposure for the Group relates to the variable interest rate with reference to the Euribor. To control the interest rate risk, the Group primarily uses interest rate swaps and interest rate options (caps and collars), which, in exchange for a fee, offer protection against an increase in interest rates. These transactions are measured monthly at fair value through the Consolidated Income Statement. In 2015 no transactions of this nature have been made, whereas in 2014, Abengoa recorded a profit of €3,992 thousand corresponding to settled transactions in both years. In the event that Euribor had risen by 25 basic points as of December 31, 2015, with the rest of the variables remaining constant, the effect in the Consolidated Income Statement would have been a profit of €7,316 thousand (€9,182 thousand in 2014) mainly due to the increase in time value of hedge interest rate options (caps and collars) and an increase of €28,379 (€35,591 thousand in 2014) in other reserves mainly due to the increase in value of hedging interest derivatives (swaps, caps and collars). A breakdown of the interest rate derivatives as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 is provided in Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Annual Report 2015

 


ABENGOA Consolidated management report Page 207 4.2.2. Credit risk discloses the credit quality of the clients as well as the movement on provisions for receivables for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014. The main financial assets exposed to credit risk derived from the failure of the counterparty to meet its obligations are trade and other receivables, current financial investments and cash. › Financial investments: to control credit risk in financial investments, the Group has established corporate criteria which require that counterparties are always highly rated financial entities and government debt, as well as establishing investing limits with periodic reviews. a) Clients and other receivables (see Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements). b) Current financial investments and cash (see Notes 13, 14, 15 and 17 to the Consolidated Financial Statements). Given the above and considering the aging of the main financial assets with exposure to such risk, it is considered that, at the end of the year 2015, no significant amounts in arrears are susceptible to be disclosed in addition to the information required by IFRS 7. › Clients and other receivables: Most receivables relate to clients operating in a range of industries and countries with contracts that require ongoing payments as the project advances; the service is rendered or upon delivery of the product. It is a common practice for the company to reserve the right to cancel the work in the event of a material breach, especially non-payment. 4.2.3. Liquidity and central risk See Section 3. Liquidity and capital resources. In general, and to mitigate the credit risk, prior to any commercial contract or business agreement, the company generally holds a firm commitment from a leading financial institution to purchase the receivables through a non-recourse factoring arrangement. Under these agreements, the company pays the bank for assuming the credit risk and also pays interest for the discounted amounts. The company always assumes the responsibility that the receivables are valid. 4.3. Risk management and internal control Abengoa is aware of the importance of managing its risks in order to carry out appropriate strategic planning and attain the defined business objectives. To do this, it applies a philosophy formed by a set of shared beliefs and attitudes, which define how risk is considered, starting with the development and implementation of the strategy and ending with the day-to-day activities. Abengoa derecognizes the factored receivables from the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position when all the conditions of IAS 39 for derecognition of assets are met. In other words, an analysis is made to determine whether all risks and rewards of the financial assets have been transferred, comparing the company’s exposure, before and after the transfer, to the variability in the amounts and the calendar of net cash flows from the transferred asset. Once the company’s exposure to this variability has been eliminated or substantially reduced, the financial asset is transferred. The process of risk management in Abengoa is a continuous cycle based on five key phases: › Identify › Evaluate › Respond In general, Abengoa considers that the most significant risk related to Clients and other receivables is the risk of non-collection, since: a) trade receivables may be quantitatively significant during the progress of work performed for a project or service rendered; b) it is not under the company’s control. However, the risk of delays in payment typically relates to technical problems, i.e., associated with the technical risk of the service provided and, therefore, within the company’s control. › Monitor › Report In each phase, regular and consistent communication is necessary in order to achieve good results. Since it is a continuous cycle, permanent feedback is necessary in order to achieve a constant improvement in the risk management system. These processes are addressed to all the company’s risks. If the company concludes that the risk associated to the contract has been transferred to the financial institution, the receivable is derecognized in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position at the time it is transferred, in accordance with IAS 39.20. An aging of trade receivables as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 is included in Note 15 ‘Clients and other receivable accounts’ of the Consolidated Financial Statements.

ABENGOA Consolidated management report Page 208 a) Common management systems Abengoa’s risk management model comprises three core elements: The common management systems are the internal rules for Abengoa and its business groups and are used to assess and control risk. They represent a common culture for managing Abengoa’s businesses, sharing the accumulated knowledge while defining specific criteria and guidelines. The common management systems include specific procedures for any type of action that could give rise to a risk for the organization, whether financial or non-financial. Furthermore, they are available to all employees in electronic format regardless of their geographical location or role. The functional heads of each division must verify and certify compliance with these procedures. This annual certification is issued by the Audit Commission in January of the following year. The systems cover the whole organization at three levels: › All the business groups and areas of activity. › All levels of responsibility. › All kinds of operations. Common management systems represent a common culture for Abengoa’s different businesses and are composed of eleven rules defining how each of the potential risks included in Abengoa’s risk model should be managed. Through these systems, the risks and the appropriate way of hedging against them are identified and the control mechanisms defined. Over recent years, the common management systems have evolved to adapt to the new situations and environments in which Abengoa operates, with the overriding aim of reinforcing risk identification, covering risks and establishing control activities. b) Compulsory procedures (SOX) Those elements are combined to form an integrated system that enables the company to manage risks and controls suitably throughout all levels of the organization. The compulsory procedures are used to mitigate risks relating to the reliability of the financial information, employing a combined system of procedures and control activities in key areas of the company, which are intended to ensure the reliability of the financial information and prevent fraud. SOX is a compulsory law for all listed companies operating in the United States and is intended to ensure the reliability of the financial reporting of these companies and protect the interests of their shareholders and investors by establishing an appropriate internal control system. Thus, although none of the business groups is required to meet SOX requirements, Abengoa deems it necessary to comply with these requirements throughout all of its component companies, since these requirements complement the risk control model used by the company. Annual Report 2015

 


ABENGOA Consolidated management report Page 209 The company has implemented an appropriate internal control system that relies on three tools: Abengoa’s universal risk model is made up of 20 categories and a total of 56 principal risks for the business. Each category is agrupated in four big areas (financial risks, strategic risks, compliance risks and operations risks). › A description of the company’s relevant processes that could impact the financial information to be prepared. In this regard, 55 management processes have been defined and grouped into corporate cycles and common cycles used throughout all the business groups. › A series of flow charts that provide a visual description of the processes. › An inventory of the control activities in each process to ensure attainment of the control objectives. At Abengoa, we have viewed this legal requirement as an opportunity for improvement and, far from being satisfied with the rules included in the Act, we have tried to develop and improve our own internal control structures, control procedures and the evaluation procedures in place. This initiative arose in response to the swift expansion experienced by the group in recent years and projected future growth, the aim for us to continue preparing accurate, timely and complete financial reports for our investors. All model risks are aserred according with two criteria: In order to meet the requirements of section 404 of the SOX, Abengoa’s internal control structure has been redefined following a ‘Top-Down’ approach based on risk analysis. › Probability of occurrence: Degree of frequency which is possible to ensure that a particular cause will result an event with negative impact on Abengoa. This risk analysis encompasses a preliminary identification of significant risk areas and an assessment of the company's controls over them, starting with top-level executives - corporate and supervisory controls – then dropping to the operational controls present in each process. › Impact on the Company: Set of negative effects on Abengoa´s strategic objectives. c) The universal risk model 5.-Anticipated future trends of the group The universal risk model is the company's chosen methodology for quantifying the risks that compose the risk management system. The objective is to obtain a comprehensive view of them designing an efficient response system aligned with the business objective of the Company. To estimate the outlook for the Group, it is important to take into account the current temporary situation of the Company during the months following the approval of the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements of June 30, 2015, during the presentation of results for the first half of 2015, on July 31, 2015 Abengoa lowered its forecast on corporate cash flows from operations in 2015 from the previous estimate of €1,300 million to €600-800 million. This reduction in forecasts was mainly attributable to capital expenditures (capex) higher than expected in high-return projects but very demanding in terms of capital in Brazil, Chile and Mexico. Annual Report 2015

 


ABENGOA Consolidated management report Page 210 Subsequent to the date of preparation of the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements at September 30, 2015, the Company, due to the circumstances explained in the Reportable Event of November 25, 2015, decided to initiate a refinancing process to try to reach an agreement with its main financial creditors that would ensure a suitable framework in which to undertake the said negotiations and the financial stability of the Group in the short and medium term. In relation to the process, after carefully evaluating the situation described above and in order to ensure the stability necessary to conduct these negotiations with the creditors, the Board of Directors of the Company deemed that the most appropriate approach was to submit the communication provided under Article 5 bis of Act 22/2003 of July 9, on insolvencies (the "Insolvency Act"). In this regard, on December 15, 2015, Commercial Court No. 2 of Seville issued a Decree agreeing that the communication provided for under Article 5 bis of the Insolvency Act had been filed. Although this change meant a variation in the long-term investments without affecting the liquidity position, nor therefore the formulation of the financial statements for that quarter, the Board of Directors meeting of August 3, 2015 informed the market of its decision to submit to an Extraordinary General Shareholders’ Meeting the approval of a capital increase with preferential subscription rights for an amount of €650 million, an additional plan of asset divestment and the adaptation of its current business model towards lower investment requirements (capex) in order to strengthen the financial position of Abengoa and reduce its level of dependence in its indebtedness. From the said date of August 3, 2015, there was uncertainty in the market prompting a fall in the value of the debt instruments and equity of Abengoa, which limited access to capital markets; while at the same time, there was a slowdown in the pace of approval by some financial institutions of renewals of working capital lines (non-recourse factoring and reverse factoring), all of which led to a reduced liquidity position. On the same date, the Company initiated a period of negotiation with a number of financial institutions to reach an agreement that would make it possible to underwrite the announced capital increase. Regarding the refinancing process previously mentioned, on January 25, 2016 the Company reported that on that day, the independent advisory firm specialized in restructuring processes Alvarez&Marsal had submitted to the Board of Directors of Abengoa a Viability Plan which defined the structure of the future activity of Abengoa at operational level, focusing on the engineering and construction business with proprietary or third-party technology. On September 24, 2015, the Company announced the agreement reached and the approval by the Board of Directors of a plan of strategic measures that would continue to be adapted during the implementation thereof, in order to reduce the corporate debt, improve the liquidity position of Abengoa and strengthen its corporate governance, as well as the underwriting of the capital increase by certain financial institutions. Based on this Viability Plan, the Company has started negotiations with its creditors to restructure the debt and the necessary resources and thus provide Abengoa with the optimal capital structure and sufficient liquidity to continue operating competitively and sustainably in the future. Accordingly, the Extraordinary General Shareholders’ meeting held on October 10, 2015, approved a package of measures, among which includes a capital increase of €650 million aimed to improving the liquidity position of Abengoa and reducing corporate leverage. 6.-Information on research and development (R&D) activities 6.1. Abengoa has continued to increase its efforts in R&D+I during 2015 in the belief that these efforts require continuity which should not be compromised by crisis or economic cycles to achieve results. Later, on November 8, Abengoa announced to the market the signing of a basic agreement for investment in Abengoa with the company Gonvarri Corporación Financiera, belonging to the group Gonvarri Steel Industries, which was supported by of Inversión Corporativa IC, S.A., the current reference shareholder of Abengoa. The Investment Agreement governed the investment by Gonvarri Corporación Financiera in the context of the capital increase approved by the General Shareholders' Meeting of the Company last October 10, 2015 (see Note 2.1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements). It was anticipated that a portion of its investment, amounting to €250 million, would be implemented in a capital increase excluding the preferential subscription rights. The capital increase with preferential subscription rights approved by the aforementioned General Meeting of the Company last October 10, 2015 would be implemented after the first aforementioned increase and for an effective amount of €400 million, with the expectation that Gonvarri Corporación Financiera would subscribe it´s corresponding portion. Furthermore, the Group has strengthened its presence and in some cases its leadership, in various institutions and public and private forums which encourage cooperation between large technology companies, in which the short and long term future of the R&D+i activity is decided. 6.2. The established program for these types of activities has been largely achieved. Abengoa, thanks to those responsible for this strategy in each business area, has strived every day to innovate its technology as demanded by its activities, primarily focusing on the following objectives: › Continuously and closely following the technologies which could affect each area of the business. Annual Report 2015

 


 

ABENGOA Consolidated management report Page 211 › Selection of a portfolio of technologies that will maximize the competitive advantages of the Group. Chile, which combines tower technology based on molten salts (110 MW) and photovoltaics (100 MW) with energy storage systems that use molten salts and batteries. This plant will enable renewable power to be continually produced 24 hours a day, supplying demand from the network at any given time. › The assimilation and implementation of technology available through transfer agreements. The R&D and innovation carried out by Abengoa also resulted in the enzymatic cocktail that converts non-food organic material into biofuels, which led to the opening of Abengoa’s first 2G bioethanol plant located in Hugoton (US) in October 2014, where up to 95 million liters of bioethanol are produced annually from almost 350,000 tons of biomass, specifically agricultural waste. In Brazil the company is developing second-generation ethanol production from sugar cane straw and bagasse. › Selecting the optimum path for the development of technologies. › Determining the marketing programs for the technology developed. › Support for innovation and technology from institutions/governments Abengoa work also continues on developing the Waste to Biofuels (W2B) project in Salamanca, to produce biofuels from municipal solid waste (MSW), solving the issue of how to manage this waste while generating a high value added product. During 2015, Abengoa made significant Research, Development and Innovation (R&D&i) investment efforts, and innovation enabling the development of new technologies in different areas of business (solar technology, biotechnology, desalination, water treatment and reuse, hydrogen, energy storage and new renewable energies). 6.3. In 2014 Abengoa continued its strategy of developing proprietary technology to give it a competitive advantage and as a vector for growing its business. Thanks to this commitment to R&D and innovation, the Abengoa Research laboratories at Campus Palmas Altas become fully operational during the year with facilities for the different technology areas of Abengoa’s business segments: In the field of R&D+i for integral water management, nanotechnology is being developed for water treatment processes; and it turns half of 2015 began with the commercial operation of the desalination plant using reverse osmosis technology to desalinate 200,000 m3 of water per day in Tenes (Algeria ). As a technology company, Abengoa is committed to using R&D to develop new businesses that enable it to grow, during 2015 the main focus has been on developing the company’s emerging businesses related to hydrogen and energy. › Electrical laboratory › Materials laboratory 7.-Adquisition and disposal of treasury shares 7.1. Abengoa, S.A. and its subsidiaries have complied with all legal requirements regarding companies and treasury stock (see Note 8 to these Consolidated Management Report). 7.2. The parent company has not pledged its shares in any type of mercantile transaction or legal business, nor are any Abengoa, S.A. shares held by third parties which could act on its behalf or on behalf of group companies. 7.3. Finally, it should be noted that potential reciprocal shareholdings established with Group companies are temporary and comply with the requirements of the consolidated text of the Spanish Capital Companies Act. 7.4. As of December 31, 2015 treasury stock amounted to 5,662,480 shares (41,624,265 shares in 2015), of which 5,662,480 are class A shares and any are class B shares. › Thermal fluids laboratory › Chemistry laboratory › Biomolecular and biochemistry laboratory The main development assets are based on technologies that enable Abengoa’s strategic R&D areas to continue progressing, such as technologies for solar-thermal plants, energy storage systems, bio-refining, treating municipal solid waste for energy production, and plants for treating and reusing water. In the field of thermo-solar technology, should be highlighted the development of two considerable projects in South Africa, the start-up operation of the first thermo-solar plant in South Africa which uses a storage system utilizing salts developed by Abengoa and the completion of Khi Solar One at the end of 2015, the first commercial plant with tower technology and superheated steam in South Africa with a capacity of 50MW. Additionally, in the field of solar-thermal power, in January 2015 it is worth noting the construction of the plant which is part of the largest solar thermal project in South America in the Atacama Desert, Annual Report 2015

The Extraordinary General Shareholders' Meeting approved a series of amendments to the bylaws in order to ensure that the ‘rights of minority interests’ are not infringed by the existence of two different share classes with different par values in which the lower nominal value of the Class B shares would make it more difficult to achieve the percentages of share capital required to exercise some of the voting and other non-financial rights. The General Meeting therefore agreed to amend Abengoa’s bylaws as explained below in order to ensure that all these rights can be exercised based on the number of shares and not the amount of share capital. These rights, such as the right to call a general meeting or to request a shareholder derivative action, require a certain percentage of the share capital to be held in nominal terms (in these cases, 3%). There are currently no agreements in effect between the company and its directors, managers or employees that entitle them to severance pay or benefits if they resign or are wrongfully dismissed, or if the employment relationship comes to an end due to a public tender offer.

Both proposals were approved by the Board of Directors in February 2007 as well as by the shareholders at the Ordinary General Meeting on April 15, of the same year. Notwithstanding the fact that independence is a condition that must be common to any director, irrespective of the director’s origin or appointment, based on the reliability, integrity and professionalism of his or her role, in accordance with the guidelines included under Law 26/2003, in Ministerial Order 3722/2003 and in the Unified Code of Good Governance of Listed Companies and more recently in Law 31/2014, the classification of current directors as stated on the previous table.As may be seen in the table above, the Board is made up of a majority of external, non-executive directors. Finally, in October 2007 the Committee proposed to the Board to accept the resignation of Mr. Javier Benjumea Llorente as Vice-chairman, along with the revoking of any powers which had been granted in those entities or companies in which he held a position of responsibility, and the naming of a new representative of Abengoa and the Focus-Abengoa Foundation. On the basis of the foregoing, the committee decided that it would be opportune to repeat the study on numbers and conditions of the Vice-chairman to the Board of Directors within the current structure of the company’s governing bodies. › Organizational and functional rules The Board of Directors is governed by the Regulations of the Board, the company’s bylaws and by the Internal Code of Conduct on Stock Exchange Matters. The Regulations of the Board were initially approved by the Board at a meeting on January 18, 1998, clearly in anticipation of the current rules of good governance and efficient internal control. The most recent update of note took place October 10, 2015. As a result, the Committee considered it necessary that the Vice-chairman of Abengoa hold the powers as per the Spanish Public Limited Companies Act so that, on the one hand, he or she is granted full representation of the company and to counter-balance the functions of the chairman of the board. On this basis it was considered that the Coordination Director – in accordance with the responsibilities as assigned to the role by the Board of Directors (February 2007) and at the Shareholders’ Meeting (April 2007) – was ideal for the role, in addressing the corporate governance recommendations and the structure of the company, as well as the composition and diversity of the directors. The Coordination Director already has the duty to take into account the concerns and goals of the board members and, to achieve this, has the power to call Board meetings and to add items to the agenda. As this role was more in substance than in title, considering the interests of the directors, and conveyed a certain representation of the Board, it was considered appropriate to expand and recognize this representation making it institutional and organic. › Structure: The Board of Directors is currently made up of 13 members. The Regulations of the Board cover the composition of the Board, the functions and its internal organization; additionally, there is the Internal Code of Conduct on Stock Exchange Matters, the scope of which covers the Board of Directors, senior management and all those employees who, due to their skills or roles, are also impacted by its content. The Regulations of the Functioning of Shareholders’ Meetings cover the formal aspects and other aspects of Shareholders’ Meetings. Finally, the Board is supported by the Audit Committee and the Appointments and Remuneration Committee, which in turn are subject to their own respective internal regulations, as well as the Strategy and Technology Commission. All these regulations, included within the revised Internal Regulations on Corporate Governance are available on the company’s website, www.abengoa.es/com. For the reasons mentioned, the Committee deemed it appropriate to propose Aplidig, S.L. (represented by Mr. José B. Terceiro Lomba), the current Coordination Director, as the new Vice-Chairman of the Board. Additionally, within the representative duties, it was proposed that the Vice-chairman, in conjunction with the chairman, would represent Abengoa as chairman of the Focus-Abengoa Foundation, as well as for other foundations and institutions in which the company is or should be represented. Since its inception, the Appointments and Remuneration Committee has been analyzing the structure of the company’s governing bodies and has worked to align such bodies with regulations in force regarding governance, focusing in particular on the historical and current configuration of such ruling bodies within Abengoa. Consequently, in February 2007 the committee recommended the creation of a Coordination Director, as well as the dissolution of the Advisory Committee to the Board of Directors. The first recommendation was to align the company with the latest corporate governance recommendations in Spain in 2006; the second recommendation reflected that the advisory board had completed the role for which it was established in the first place, and that its coexistence with the remaining company bodies could Annual Report 2015

 


ABENGOA Consolidated management report Page 221 › Appointments: In light of the above, on 10 December 2007 the Board of Directors approved the appointment of Aplidig, S. L. (represented by Mr. José B. Terceiro Lomba), the current Coordination Director, as the new Vice-Chairman of the Board, with the unanimous agreement of the independent directors regarding the retention of his role as Coordination Director despite being promoted to an executive board member role. Additionally, within the representative duties, on 23 July 2007 the Board approved that the Vice-chairman, in conjunction with the Chairman, would also represent Abengoa as Chairman of the Focus-Abengoa Foundation Board, as well as for other foundations and institutions in which the company is or should be represented. The Shareholders’ Meeting, or when applicable the Board of Directors, within the established rules and regulations, is the competent body for appointing members of the Board a proposal, if any, of the Appointments and Remuneration Committee.

As of December 31, 2015 the Coordinating Director and second Vice-chairman of the Board of Director was Mr. Antonio Fornieles Melero. Notwithstanding the above, on March 1, 2016 Mr. Antonio Fornieles Melero was appointed executive President of the Board of Directors, appointing Ms. Alicia Velarde Valiente as Coordinating Director and second Vice-chairman of the Board of Directors. › Dismissals: Directors will be removed from their position at the end of their tenure or under any other circumstances in accordance with the appropriate laws. Furthermore, they should relinquish their role as directors in the event of any incompatibility, prohibition, serious sanctions or failure to fulfill their obligations as directors.

Other external directors Explanation of the measures Other external Directors will be identified and reasons will be explained as to why they cannot be considered independent or proprietary, and their connections with the company, its executives or shareholders will be outlined: Six of the members that comprised the Board of Directors at the closing of the financial year were independent and two of those are female. The Appointments and Remunerations Commission promotes the inclusion of females on to the Board of Directors, specifically focusing on the posts of independent Directors since the rest of the other member-posts that make up the Board are proprietary Director posts whose selections do not directly depend on the Commission. Thus, Abengoa ensured that the number of women is representative based on the number of independent members by applying the policy established in Article 1 of the regulations of the Appointments and Remunerations Commission which specifically outlines the quest for equal opportunities: “Article 1 - Composition and Structure”. [...] [ ] “The Appointments and Remunerations Commission shall establish procedures and, in the event of new vacancies, shall ensure that: › a) The selection process for board vacancies has no implicit bias against female candidates; Not applicable Personal or Corporate name of the Director Company, executive or shareholder with which the connection is held Reasons Total number of other external Directors % Total of Board of Directors Indicate the variations, as the case may be, that occurred during the period in the category of each Director: Annual Report 2015 Total: 233315.3818.752020 Financial Financial Financial Financial Year t Year t-1 Year t-2 Year t-3 Financial Financial Financial Financial Year t Year t-1 Year t-2 Year t-3

 


Annual report on corporate governance ABENGOA page. 243 › b) The company makes a conscious effort to include female candidates that meet the professional profile sought.” If in spite of implementing the measures, as the case may be, the number of female Directors is still scarce or non-existent, explain the reasons to justify such circumstance: It is the responsibility of the Appointments and Remunerations Commission to notify the Board about any issues of gender diversity. It is also obliged to establish a representation target for the less represented sex in the Company’s Board of Directors and draft guidelines on how to achieve this target. Explanation of Reasons Not applicable C.1.6.bis Explain the conclusions reached by the Appointments Commission with regard to the verification of compliance with the director selection policy. And specifically, with regard to how this policy is pursuing the goal of having at least 30 % of total board places occupied by women directors before the year 2020. Moreover, through the company’s Equality Framework Plan, Abengoa has defined a corporate strategy in the field of equal rights between male and female. Thus, all Abengoa companies and work centers take and use this Plan as a reference for developing and approving their own. In 2009, to ensure the practice of these values, Abengoa created the Equal Opportunity and Treatment Office (OITO) under the Equality Framework Plan. The mission of this office is to advocate gender equality with the whole organization, promoting, developing and managing the Equality Framework Plan and all plans associated with it. Not applicable, as the company did not have a director selection policy for the financial year 2015. In addition, the company created the Equal Opportunity and Treatment Commission, chaired by the Human Resources Director and integrated by the HR heads from the various areas and geographical locations of the business, as well as by the CSR director as permanent members, for the purpose of worldwide follow-up, and subsequent development of the issues relating to equal opportunity among male and female employees of Abengoa C.1.7 Explain the manner in which shareholders with significant shares are represented on the board. Shareholders with significant shares are represented by proprietary (dominion) Directors who exercise their functions based on the company’s code of conduct and on the other regulations deemed applicable to all members of the board. C.1.6 Explain any measures that the Appointments Commission may have agreed upon to ensure that selection procedures refrain from implicit bias that would otherwise impede the selection of female directors, and that the company purposefully seeks to include and includes female candidates that meet the professional profile sought: C.1.8 Explain, where applicable, the reasons why proprietary directors were appointed at the request of shareholders with stakes amounting to less than 3 % of the share capital: Explanation of the measures The Appointments and Remunerations Commission objectively and transparently assesses the potential candidates based on merit criteria, promoting male and female equality and rejecting all kinds of direct or indirect discrimination based on sex. The Commission, which includes women in its rank and file, assesses the competencies, knowledge and experience that the Board requires, and defines the aptitude and functions sought in the candidates to occupy the vacancy in question, evaluating the time and dedication such candidates may require to be able to diligently perform their duties, and then decide by majority vote.

Annual report on corporate governance ABENGOA page. 248 C.1.20 Explain to what extent the annual evaluation of the Board has led to important changes being made to its internal structure and the procedures applicable to its activity: The Appointments and Remunerations Commission is the competent body for drafting, insofar as independent directors are concerned, and reporting on, in the case of all other directors, the proposal to be presented to the Board of Directors for appointment by co-optation or for subsequent submission before the General Shareholders’ Meeting, as well as proposals for their re-election or discharge by the General Shareholders’ Meeting, applying criteria of independence and professionalism set forth in the Board of Directors’ Regulations and the Commission’s Regulations, and ensuring that they hold the recognized creditworthiness and suitable knowledge, prestige and professional experience to perform their duties. There were no significant amendments made as a result of the annual evaluation of the Board. Description of amendments The performance appraisal of the Board of Directors and its Commissions is overseen and organized by the Appointments Commission through substantiated reports filed to the Board during the meeting held in the following first quarter, after the previous financial year-end and after obtaining or at least knowing the accounting estimate for the financial year closing and upon receipt of the auditor’s report since both are essential as assessment criteria, proposing, based on the result of the appraisal, a plan of action to correct the identified shortcomings. C.1.20.bis Describe the evaluation process and the areas assessed by the Board of Directors with support, where applicable, from an external consultant, with regards to its diversity and competencies, the operation and composition of its commissions, the performance of the Executive Chairman of the Board of Directors and the Chief Executive Officer of the company, as well as the performance and contribution of each director. With regards to the procedures for selecting and appointing independent Directors, the Appointments and Remunerations Commission is the body in charge of selecting profiles that best represent the needs of the different interest groups among professionals of different fields and of renowned national and international prestige. The procedure for selecting them is based on merits and on the intention to cover any vacancy with professional profiles that are not linked to any specific interests. The evaluation was carried out from two clearly defined and different perspectives: that of the Board of Directors and its commissions, and the individual performance of directors. › Performance of the Board of Directors and its commissions With the intention of gathering the opinions and concerns of directors with regard to certain significant issues in terms of the performance of the Board of Directors and its commissions, the Secretaries of the Board of Directors and the Appointments and Remuneration Commission have sent all Abengoa directors (acting in that capacity and, where applicable, as members of commissions to which they have been appointed) a questionnaire. Thus, the Appointments and Remunerations Commission performs annual inspections to verify the sustenance of the conditions met for the appointment of the Director and the nature and typology assigned to said member, and then includes the information in the annual report on corporate governance. The Appointments Commission likewise strives to ensure that the selection procedures for filling vacancies refrain from implicit biases that may hinder the inclusion of females that fit the required profile among the potential candidates. Its functions also include reporting to the Board of Directors on appointments, re-elections, terminations and remuneration for senior management, as well as proposing to the Board the general remuneration policy and incentives for Directors and senior management, individual remuneration of Directors, the other contractual terms and conditions of each Executive Director and the basic contractual conditions for senior management, as well as informing the Board of Directors beforehand on all proposals to be submitted to the General Shareholders’ Meeting for the appointment or dismissal of Directors, even in cases of co-optation by the Board of Directors itself. The main assessment indicators of the questionnaires distributed to directors of the company are as follows: › (a) The members of the governing body are aware of the changes in the business environment and are kept abreast of all developments with regard thereto. (b) The members of the governing body are aware of the strategic direction of the business. (c) The members of the governing body are regularly informed by senior management of any progress made regarding the Company’s strategic plan. (d) The members of the governing body are informed of and participate in the resolution of Company problems. › › › Annual Report 2015

(b) If deemed severely liable by any public authority for infringing upon their obligations as Directors. (c) If the Board itself requests so due to a Director having infringed upon his/her obligations › Furthermore, the Secretary of the Appointments and Remuneration Commission collected the information deemed necessary from the Secretary of the Board of Directors and the respective secretaries of the Board of Directors’ commissions, having provided them with attendance forms for the respective meetings held. › See section H “Other Information of Interest” In the performance assessment of the Board of Directors and its commissions, the Appointments and Remuneration Commission also took account of the first-hand knowledge acquired by the members of the aforementioned commission through serving in the capacity as members of the Company’s Board of Directors and of the commissions to which each one is appointed. › Individual performance assessment of directors With the aim of assessing the individual performance of the Abengoa directors, the Chairman of the Appointments and Remuneration Commission held various working sessions with the Chairman of the Board of Directors and the Chairmen of the commissions. During these working meetings, they conducted detailed analyses of the participation and individual performance of each Company director in light of their roles and responsibilities which, depending on the different categories to which they belong, are assigned to them by law and the Company’s internal corporate governance regulations.

The risks manager is in charge of analyzing projects and businesses in the efforts and in aspects regarding the identification and quantification of risks of any nature. On the other hand, the internal audits department is in charge of supervising and ensuring the correct functioning of the risks management system. E.3 Specify the main risks, including those of a fiscal nature, which could affect the attainment of business objectives. Abengoa’s risk management system is a global and dynamic system. The scope of action of this system covers the entire organization and its whereabouts on a more permanent basis, and compliance with it is compulsory for all the company’s employees, managers and Directors. It works comprehensively and continuously, consolidating this management according to the area, business unit or activity, subsidiaries, geographical areas and support areas at corporate level. In the process of identifying, understanding and assessing the risks affecting the company, the following risks factors, some of which are outlined in Form 20-F, filed with the SEC on 23 February 2015, have been taken into account: General Risks Abengoa’s risk management system is designed to mitigate all the risks to which the company may be exposed as a result of its activities. The structure of Abengoa’s Risk Management is based on three pillars: › › Abengoa operates in a sector of activity particularly linked with the economic cycle. Risks derived from depending on regulations in support of activities relating to renewable energy, bioethanol production and also research-and development-related activities. Solar power generation. Biofuel consumption. Risks derived from the sensitivity entailed in the supply of raw materials for biofuel production and the volatility of the price of the final product. Risks derived from delays and cost overruns in activities of an Engineering and construction nature due to the technical difficulties of the projects and the lengthy duration of their execution. Risks linked to the activities of concession-type infrastructural projects operating under regulated tariffs or extremely long-term license agreements. Incomes derived from long-term agreements: risks derived from the existence of clauses and/or renewal of license agreements processed by Abengoa, termination of pending engineering and construction projects and non-renewals of biofuel distribution agreements. The variations in the cost of energy may bear negative impact on the company results. Risks derived from the development, construction and exploitation of new projects. › The Common Management Systems specifically designed to mitigate business risks. Internal control procedures aimed at mitigating risks derived from the elaboration of the financial report and at improving the reliability of such report, designed in accordance with the SOX Act (Sarbanes-Oxley Act) The universal risk model which is the methodology that Abengoa uses to identify, compress and assess the risks that affect the company. The purpose is to obtain an integral vision of them, designing an efficient system of response that is in line with the business objectives. › › › › › › These two elements form an integrated system that allows for appropriate management of the risks and their mitigating controls at all the levels of the organization. › › In addition, the internal auditing unit is in charge of ensuring compliance with and the good functioning of these systems. E.2 Indicate the Company’s bodies which are in charge of devising and executing the Risk Management System, including that of a fiscal nature. › The duty of elaborating and executing the risks management system is basically exercised by the Audit Commission specifically through the internal auditor and the risks manager. › Annual Report 2015

 


Annual report on corporate governance ABENGOA page. 266 › Abengoa’s activities may be negatively affected in the event that public support for such activities diminishes. Construction projects regarding the engineering and construction activities and the facilities of concession-type infrastructural and industrial production activities are dangerous places of work. Risks derived from joining hands with third parties for the execution of certain projects › Fluctuations in the currency exchange rates and their hedging may affect the results of the company. Risk of litigation and other legal processes. › › Risks derived from internationalization and from country risks › › Abengoa’s activities fall under multiple jurisdictions with various degrees of legal demands requiring the company to undertake significant efforts to ensure its compliance with them. Insurance coverage underwritten by Abengoa may be insufficient to cover the risks entailed in the projects, and the costs of the insurance premiums may rise. The activities of the company may be negatively affected by natural catastrophes, extreme climate conditions, unexpected geological conditions or other physical kinds of conditions, as well as by terrorist acts perpetrated in some of its locations. The practices of tax evasion and product alteration on the Brazilian fuel distributions market may distort the market prices. › Risks that are specific to Abengoa › Risk relating to the possibility that Abengoa could request insolvency proceedings in the event that the company does not reach a refinancing agreement with its main financial creditors before 28 october 2016. Risks related to Abengoa’s short and medium-term liquidity needs. Risks related to selling the shareholding or the loss of control of Abengoa Yield. Abengoa operates with enormous levels of indebtedness. Risks arising from the need to generate positive cash flows. Risks derived from the demand for capital intensive investments in fixed assets (CAPEX), which increase the need for external finance for the execution of pending projects. Risk entailed in obtaining reduced net profit derived from assets rotation Risks arising from Abengoa’s credit rating downgrade. Risks arising from Abengoa’s dividend policy. The company has a controlling shareholder. The renewable energy sector products and services are part of a market subject to intensive conditions of competition. The results of the engineering and construction activity depend significantly on the growth of the company in the concession-type infrastructural and industrial production activities. Fluctuations in interest rates and their hedging may affect the results of the company. › › › › › › › E.4 Indicate whether or not the company has a risk tolerance level, including for risks of a fiscal nature. Abengoa has a risk tolerance level established at corporate level. The universal risks model is a tool used for identifying and evaluating all risks affecting Abengoa. All the risks contemplated therein are evaluated considering probability and impact indicators. › › › › › Based on such parameters, the risks are classified as follows: › Minor risks: risks that occur frequently but bear little economic impact. These risks are managed to reduce their frequency only if managing them is economically viable. Tolerable risks: risks that occur infrequently and bear little economic impact. These risks are monitored to ensure that they remain tolerable. Severe risks: frequent risks that bear extremely high impact. These risks are managed immediately although, due to the risk management processes implemented by Abengoa, it is unlikely that Abengoa needs to tackle these types of risks. Critical risks: risks that occur infrequently but bear extremely high economic impact. These risks have a contingency plan since, when they arise, their impact is extremely high. › › › › › Annual Report 2015

 


Annual report on corporate governance ABENGOA page. 267 E.5 Identify the risks, including those of a fiscal nature, that have materialized during the financial year. The fact that it was not possible to carry out the planned capital increase due to no agreement being reached between the company and the placement financial entities and potential investors led the company to begin a negotiation process with its creditors with the aim of reaching an agreement to guarantee its financial sustainability, pursuant to Article 5 bis of the Spanish Insolvency Law. For these purposes, the company submitted the communication set out in Article 5 bis of the Spanish Insolvency Law to the Commercial Court of Seville on 25 November 2015. Abengoa endured certain risks during the 2015 financial year, the most significant of which are described below. Energy and the environment are part of the activities in which Abengoa is engaged. This activity is performed in changing surroundings, with regulations, subsidies or tax incentives that can be changed or even legally challenged. Throughout recent financial years and especially that of 2015, various amendments to regulations took place in the jurisdictions where Abengoa operates (mainly in the United States and Brazil), mainly in relation to activity concerning renewable energy generation and biofuel production, which affected the profitability of Abengoa’s current and future projects, the conditions to effectively compete with non-conventional renewables and other kinds of energy, and the ability to complete some ongoing projects. On 28 March 2016 Abengoa submitted before the Commercial Court of Seville a request for approval of the Standstill Agreement which had been supported by the 75.04% of financial creditors that had been addressed. E.6 Explain the response and supervision plan for the main risks the Company faces, including those of a fiscal nature. There is a specific action plan in place for each of the risks identified, which could encompass various departments of the company. However, investments in fixed assets (capex) which are higher than those anticipated in projects with a high return but which are extremely demanding in terms of capital in Brazil, Chile and Mexico have impacted on Abengoa’s liquidity position and have led to a significant drop in the shares and debt instruments pertaining to Abengoa listed on the stock exchange during the 2015 financial year. All of this has limited access to capital markets and, at the same time, led to a deceleration in the rate of approval of working capital renewals (non-recourse factoring and confirming) by some financial entities, which has all led to a reduction in the liquidity position. The following committees are in charge of the executive supervision of the company’s main risks: › › › › › Risks Management Committees by Business Units. Critical Projects Committees. Risks Management Committees with the Executive. Projects Committee. Special Situations Committees All of the aforementioned, along with Abengoa’s high levels of debt, led the company to launch an action plan in September 2015, with measures aimed at reducing the leverage and improving the liquidity position, whereby a set of measures were approved in the Abengoa Extraordinary General Shareholders’ Meeting on 10 October 2015, including a capital increase proposal with the aim of increasing the company’s own funds by a cash amount of (face value plus premium) of 650,000,000 euros, in order to reinforce the company’s liquidity situation and reduce its levels of debt.

Directors must sign statements of responsibility on the content of the annual financial report and, in turn, on any intermediate financial reports which the company must regularly publish due to being listed. Likewise, as set forth in section F.5 of this document, the Board of Directors entrusts the Audit Commission with the duties of supervising the system of internal control and monitoring which ensures that the preparation of the financial information strictly follows the required standards. Thus, the Board of Directors will decide on and take as many actions and measures deemed necessary to ensure the Company’s transparency on financial markets, promoting correct information on the prices of the Company’s shares, supervising financial-related information regularly made public and performing as many duties as may be required due to the company’s status as a listed company.

D.7 It is hereby stated that, after the close of the financial year, on 7 January 2016, Abengoa Yield, plc informed the Securities and Exchange Commission of the United States that it was changing its corporate name to Atlantica Yield. Other information In 2013, Abengoa started to draw up a “corporate compliance” program which it continued to develop in 2014 and 2015. The concept of “corporate compliance” was introduced in adherence to international practices and to specific compulsory legal rules and regulations, especially practiced in Anglo-Saxon Law and, from December 2014 onwards, in Spain. Up until the Transparency Law and, most recently, Law 31/2014, of December 3, which amends the Corporate Law to improve corporate governance, became effective and enforceable in Spain, good governance recommendations were only as such, recommendations. They were not binding even though, on the international markets, companies were legally obliged to comply with certain codes of conduct to prevent fraud, among other bad practices. Notwithstanding the above, due to the increase in getting closer to the international markets as well as to the recent promulgation of Law 31/2014, it is now necessary, on the one hand, to harmonize the international practice with the Spanish laws, thus introducing the concept of criminal liability for legal entities and, on the other, to adapt the various company standards to the new amendments introduced in the Corporate Law. Furthermore, on 8 March 2016 Abengoa’s Board of Directors adopted the following agreements which affect certain members of the Investment Commission: › Appoint Mr. Joaquín Fernández de Piérola Marín as First Vice-Chairman of the Board of Directors, thereby merging this position with that of Managing Director (CEO).

The creation of a regulatory compliance monitoring program by introducing an effective system of good governance and crime prevention is an inevitable resource for the reputation of Abengoa. Abengoa’s corporate compliance program establishes standards and procedures for detecting and preventing bad corporate practices, with the Board of Directors acting as the authority in supervising the implementation and improvement of the compliance program and creating the internal post of compliance officer. An appropriate “corporate compliance program” requires an evaluation of the criminal, social and corporate good governance risks, a monitoring authority, a follow-up, action and surveillance program, as well as an important ongoing training program for employees.

Annual report on the remuneration of Board directors ABENGOA page. 296 A. The company’s remuneration policy for the ongoing year A.1. Abengoa’s remuneration policy for the ongoing financial year (2016) The criteria for establishing a director remuneration policy are in conformity with the provisions of the Spanish Corporate Law (Articles 217 to 219, 249 and 529o to 529r), those of the Bylaws (Article 39) and those of the Regulations of the Board of Directors (Article 20), establishing various criteria depending on whether or not the director performs executive duties: › Remuneration of members of the Board for their condition as such The position of director is remunerated following the stipulations of article 39 of the Bylaws. The remuneration may consist of a fixed amount agreed by the General Assembly, which is not necessarily equal for all members. They could also receive an allotment of a share in the Company’s profits, of between 5 and 10 percent maximum of the annual profit after subtracting the dividend for the financial year at hand, which shall not be under 4 percent of the paid-in capital in accordance with article 48 of the Bylaws, plus reimbursement of expenses from trips undertaken in the performance of duties entrusted by the Board, and remuneration for Board Commission memberships and, where applicable, for holding the office of Chairperson of the Board. In Abengoa, S.A. (hereinafter, “Abengoa” or the “Company” or “Corporation”) it is considered important to maintain policies geared towards proposing long-term professional careers in the Group of which Abengoa is the parent company (hereinafter, the “Group”) and, at the same time, promoting the Company and its Group’s long-term profitability and sustainability, maintaining a reasonable proportion with the importance of the Company, its economic situation at all times and the market standards of companies with similar magnitude. Abengoa’s business transactions and operations are conducted in extremely competitive fields in which the achievement of goals and objectives greatly depend on the quality, work capacity, dedication, and the business knowledge of the persons holding the key posts and leading the organization. The maximum annual amount of remuneration payable to the entire Board of Directors for their condition as such shall therefore not exceed the amount of the result of adding, as the case may be, the amount of shares in the company profits, travel expenses and allowance for Commission membership or for holding the office of Chairperson, to the fixed amount agreed upon by the General Assembly. The preceding, understood notwithstanding the remuneration payable to executive members of the Board for the performance of executive duties attributed to such office, different from supervisory and decision-making duties performed by mere members of the Board of Directors. These premises determine the Group’s remuneration policy in general, that of the directors, in particular, and especially that of the executives, which should make it possible to attract and retain the most distinguished professionals. Consequently, the aim of the remuneration policy for members of the Board is as follows: › Remuneration for the supervisory and decision-making duties performed as members of the Board of Directors should be appropriate to reward the dedication, qualification, and the responsibility required for the performance of the duties of member of the Board, bearing in mind the duties performed on the Board of Directors and the Commissions on which they serve. › Regarding the remuneration of executive directors for performing their executive duties: - (i) Ensure that the overall remuneration package and its structure are competitive in comparison with the international sector and compatible with our vocation of leadership. - (ii) Maintain an annual variable component linked to the achievement of specific and quantifiable objectives that are in line with the interests of shareholders. Determining the remuneration of each Board director for his/her condition as such shall remain the duty of the Board of Directors who, for the purpose thereof, shall consider the duties and responsibilities attributed to each director, their membership of Board Commissions and all other objective circumstances deemed relevant. › Remuneration for the performance of duties other than those attributed to directorship. This includes director remuneration for performing executive duties or those of another nature, other than those of supervision and decision-making exercised on the Board or its Commissions. This remuneration is compatible with receiving payment as set forth in the bylaws and any allowances which they may be due given their condition as members of the Board of Directors. Annual Report 2015

 


Annual report on the remuneration of Board directors ABENGOA page. 297 Remuneration packages for the performance of executive duties include the following basic elements: › (a) Fixed remuneration This amount must be in line with that received by executive directors of companies comparable to Abengoa on the market according to the leadership position Abengoa strives to achieve. In order to determine this, market studies conducted by external consultants are taken into account. The Chief Executive, Mr. Joaquín Fernández de Piérola Marín, is a beneficiary of the extraordinary variable compensation schemes for executives described in section A.4 and following herein, remuneration that is not tied to the company’s share value under the terms and conditions envisaged in article 219 of Spanish Corporate Law, even though the right to receive, rather than the amount to be received in itself, initially depends on whether the company’s Class B shares attain specific price quotations goals, a prerequisite, nevertheless, that the Appointments and Remuneration Commission of the Company can decide to overlook if exceptional circumstances occur on the stock market that may be deemed justifiable by the aforementioned. Therefore, there are no significant changes in the remuneration policy of the Board of Directors for this ongoing financial year in comparison to the remuneration policy applied in past financial years, insofar as directors’ compensation still does not include share packages or share options. Fixed remuneration consists of a fixed gross amount paid annually, divided into twelve equal monthly payments. › (b) Variable annual remuneration (bonus) Variable annual remuneration (or bonus) for executive directors is essentially linked to achieving targets. Said targets are linked to the Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA). Based on these criteria, a range of total variation of the variable remuneration of executive directors is estimated at the start of financial year. A.2. Process to determine the remuneration policy By virtue of the directive issued by the Board of Directors, the remuneration policy for Abengoa’s Board of Directors, stated in this report, shall be prepared, discussed and formulated by the Appointments and Remuneration Commission, with the resulting proposal then being submitted to the Board of Directors at the start of each financial year for subsequent submission for approval to the Company’s Ordinary General Shareholders’ Meeting, at least once every three years. Variable remuneration corresponds to the annual bonus and is paid in one single payment (accrued for all purposes in the financial year it is settled, where applicable). The relative weight and the criteria for determining the variable remuneration for executive directors are based on the following: Below are the current members of the Appointments and Remuneration Commission, and, as such, the main participants in defining the remuneration policy: › Market references based on information provided regarding remuneration by renowned market consultants. The main criteria for accrual of variable annual remuneration is achieving the EBITDA target, whether for Abengoa in general or, for executive directors holding non-general responsibilities, commensurate with that of their area of responsibility. At the end of the financial year, this basic quantitative element will be considered together with other qualitative non-financial elements aimed at creating long-term value, which may vary from year to year, such as, for example, compliance with the company’s internal corporate governance regulations and its policies on risk control and management, which then allows for adjustment of the decision on the actual amount of variable remuneration. › › Ms. Gracia Díez was appointed member of the Commission in a meeting of the Board of Directors of Abengoa, S.A. held on 12 December 2005, and elected as Chairwoman in a meeting of the Appointments and Remuneration Commission held on 17 March 2015; the Secretary was appointed in the meeting of the Appointments and Remuneration Commission held on 23 June 2014.

Annual report on the remuneration of Board directors ABENGOA page. 298 Mr. Antonio Fornieles Melero is no longer a member of the Commission as of 1 March 2016 due to his appointment as the new Executive Chairman of the company’s Board of Directors, replacing Mr. José Domínguez Abascal. The total amount of bonuses accrued by executive directors during the 2015 financial year amounted to €10.719 million euros. Regarding the 2016 financial year, bearing in mind the company’s present circumstances, there is no variable compensation system specified for any of its executive directors, although the contract of Mr. Fernández de Piérola (who was appointed Chief Executive on 1 March 2016) establishes that the Board of Directors, on the motion of its Appointments and Remuneration Commission, may establish variable annual compensation for him in the event that his assigned annual targets are met. Consequently, the Appointments and Remuneration Commission has three independent directors and its Chairwoman was appointed from among the independent directors. Therefore, the requirements established in Spanish Corporate Law are met. In addition, in accordance with the provisions of article 2 of the Internal Regulations, the position of Chairperson of the Commission must go to an independent director. No external consultants were involved in determining the remuneration policy, notwithstanding the fact that the previous section A.1.(b) stated that in order to determine the variable remuneration of executive directors, market references are taken into account based on information regarding remuneration provided by renowned market consultants. In the same way, the Appointments and Remuneration Commission is analyzing whether or not it is convenient to begin a study on possible variable compensation linked to achieving targets related to the restructuring process the company is currently immersed in, in order to, in turn, propose to the Board of Directors that any applicable agreements be adopted, including considering the Chief Executive as a potential beneficiary of this compensation. A.3. Fixed components of remuneration Extraordinary Variable Compensation Plans for Executives In Abengoa, only the executive directors have fixed remuneration as compensation for the performance of their executive duties. In 2015, the amount accrued as salaries for executive directors amounted to €3.298 million euros. There are currently two extraordinary long-term variable compensation plans for Executives. 1. Extraordinary Variable Compensation Plan for Executives, January 2014 Both the allowance of the Board of Directors as well as the amounts payable for commission membership or chairmanship, are payable solely for attendance. Below are the amounts accrued in 2015 for said items: › Allowances of the Board of Directors: €1.782 million euros. › Membership or chairmanship of commissions: €355,000 euros. This plan, which replaces and leaves invalid the Extraordinary Plan previously approved in February 2011, was itself approved by the Board of Directors of the Company in January 2014 as proposed by the Appointments and Remuneration Commission. The plan includes the Chief Executive, Mr. Joaquín Fernández de Piérola Marín, among other executives, as a beneficiary, and is due to expire on 31 December 2017. Likewise, certain executive directors are offered life and accident insurance coverage for which the Company paid premiums to the value of €2,100 euros in 2015. The following conditions are established for payment thereof: › a) that the beneficiary remain in employment with the company until the plan ends. b) that the beneficiary be entitled to receive the annual bonus for each financial year of the period in question. c) the degree of compliance (in terms of objectives) shall be 20% annually, notwithstanding the requirement to remain as an employee of the Company until 31 December 2017. A.4. Variable components of the remuneration systems › To date, the variable annual remuneration (or bonus) for executive directors has been essentially linked to achieving EBITDA-related targets, as well as other qualitative non-financial elements aimed at creating long-term value. Based on these criteria, a range of total variation of the variable remuneration of executive directors is estimated at the start of financial year. The variable remuneration corresponds to the annual bonus payable in one single payment. › Annual Report 2015
