We present non-GAAP financial measures because we believe that they and other similar measures are widely used by certain investors, securities analysts and other interested parties as supplemental measures of performance and liquidity. The non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies and have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our operating results as reported under IFRS as issued by the IASB. Non-GAAP financial measures and ratios are not measurements of our performance or liquidity under IFRS as issued by the IASB and should not be considered as alternatives to operating profit or profit for the year or any other performance measures derived in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB or any other generally accepted accounting principles or as alternatives to cash flow from operating, investing or financing activities.The CAFD and other guidance included in this presentation are estimates as of February 29, 2016. These estimates are based on assumptions believed to be reasonable as of that date. Abengoa Yield plc. disclaims any current intention to update such guidance, except as required by law. References in this presentation to Atlantica Yield refer to Abengoa Yield plc. Atlantica Yield is the new brand for Abengoa Yield plc, that expects to change name in the next Shareholders General Meeting in 2016. DISCLAIMER
