2019 INDUSTRIAL HIGHLIGHTS
- The Group’s installed capacity has expanded as the plants in Åliden, Sweden (46.8 MW) and Hennøy, Norway (50 MW) began operating;
- Production improved compared to 2018 (+9%) mainly thanks to the year-round consolidation of the plants in France (Julia) and the United States (Syncarpha), the greater windiness in Italy (+ 42 GWh) and the perimeter increase at the end of the year (+ 96,8 MW in Sweden and Norway);
- Reduction in overall “captive” electricity prices (-1% in the UK and -2% in Italy), lower than the drop in wholesale prices, thanks to an active Energy Management policy;
- The development project pipeline reaches 2 GW. In addition to the organic activity in Italy, Spain, France, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands and the United States, the Group acquired from Canadian Solar 230 MW of solar projects in Italy and signed an agreement with REG Windpower Ltd. for the development of about 200 MW in wind and solar power projects in the United Kingdom;
- Signed a strategic agreement with ENI for the joint development of renewable energy projects in the United States (targeting 1 GW of development by 2023), together with the sale of 49% of the plants currently in operation in the United States;
- Commissioning of the battery storage system (6.6 MWh) connected to the photovoltaic plant in Middleton, Massachusetts (USA);
- First revamping project (at Spinasanta solar plant) and re-financing, expected to be completed in Q1 2020;
- 964 GWh dispatched by the Energy Management Unit, equal to 100% of the energy produced by the Group in Italy (881 GWh), in addition to production managed on behalf of third parties (83 GWh). Significant growth compared to 360 GWh of 2018;
- Positive industrial performance of Energy Team with an EBITDA for 2019 of about Euro 4.8 million;
- Launch of NUO, the digital management platform for Group’s plants and third party customers;
- 2.4 TWh of green energy produced, which avoided the emission into the atmosphere of more than 0.62 million tonnes of CO23.

(**) The Group defines EBITDA as earnings before income and expense from investments, net financial income/expense, amortization, depreciation, impairment, provisions for risks and income taxes.
Results for the year ended December 31, 2019
The results for the year highlight growth on 2018 thanks to the following factors: (i) growth in installed capacity (1,087 MW, +16%) and the fact that the plants and assets that joined the Group’s consolidation perimeter in 2018 were fully operational for all of 2019; (ii) increase in electricity production (2,391 GWh, + 9%); and (iii) the steps taken by management to improve plant efficiency and cost management.
The results are higher than the guidance, which had been revised when the quarterly results were presented in mid-November 2019 and set a new record for the Falck Renewables Group.
Consolidated revenue of Euro 374.5 million is up 11.5% on the Euro 335.9 million of 2018, thanks to
(i) the acquisitions in 2018 of Energy Team S.p.A. and the consortia that manage the Italian energy market interruptibility service, partly offset by the sale of Esposito Servizi Ecologici S.r.l., and the March 2019 acquisition of five French wind farms with a network capacity of 56 MW, in addition to the operation of solar power plants in the US at full capacity, generating about Euro 24 million;
ii) the greater volume of energy sold by Falck Next Energy S.r.l., in order to mitigate the imbalance cost, approximately Euro 11 million;
iii) the greater volume of electricity sold (mainly due to excellent wind conditions in Italy) net of the curtailment of about Euro 3 million;
iv) the change in the exchange rate, with an impact of around Euro 1 million.
The energy produced globally by all Group technologies came to 2,391 GWh, compared to 2,187 GWh in 2018, up 9% on the previous year.
Below are the main changes in consolidated revenue by sector:
Wind power: the revenue from this sector totals Euro 247.1 million, up 3.4% on Euro 238.9 million in the previous year, thanks to the aforementioned increase in the scope due to the acquisition of the French plants and the start of operations at the wind farms in Hennøy (Norway) and Åliden (Sweden). However, the excellent wind conditions in Italy were more than offset by the decrease in energy prices both in Italy and the United Kingdom.
The wind power sector produced a total of 1,995 GWh, compared with 1,812 GWh in 2018 (+10% on 2018).
Solar Power, Biomass and WtE: revenue from this sector totals Euro 68.0 million, slightly up on the Euro 67.8 million of 2018. The growth in installed capacity in the US (+20.5 MW on 2018), the increased production of electricity at the WtE plants in Trezzo sull’Adda and the biomass plant in Rende and the higher waste conferral prices (+17% on 2018) of the WtE plant in Trezzo more than offset the reduction in revenue due to the sale of Esposito Servizi Ecologici S.r.l.
Services: this sector reports revenue of Euro 43.7 million, up Euro 23.6 million (Euro 20.1 million in 2018) due to the increase in asset management services provided to the Group and third parties and to the consolidation of Energy Team S.p.A., that for 2018 had contributed only for a quarter, Windfor S.r.l. and the consortia that manage the energy interruptibility service on the Italian market.
Other businesses: revenue is up by Euro 39.3 million on the previous year to Euro 72.4 million, mainly due to the sale of energy by Falck Next Energy S.r.l. (previously Falck Renewables Energy S.r.l.), which mainly operates in energy management.
Revenue by operating segment is summarized below:
|
|
|
(thousands of Euro)
|
|
|
2019
|
% | 2018 | % |
Sale of electricity and thermal energy | 323.755 | 86,5 | 295.270 | 87,9 |
Waste treatment and disposal | 19.149 | 5,1 | 22.680 | 6,8 |
Renewable energy plant management and services | 30.136 | 8,0 | 12.903 | 3,8 |
Other operating revenue | 1.454 | 0,4 | 5.036 | 1,5 |
Total | 374.494 | 100 | 335.889 | 100 |
This positive trend in revenue boosted consolidated EBITDA to Euro 204 million, up 6.5% on the previous year, equal to 54.5% as a percentage of revenue (57.0% in 2018). Excluding the impact of Falck Next Energy S.r.l.’s activities to mitigate the imbalance cost, the EBITDA margin would be 57.5%, compared to 59.5% in 2018.
In 2018, this item was influenced by the positive non-recurring impact of Euro 7.1 million due to the release of certain provisions and allowances following the settlement of a dispute relating to plots of land of the Sicilian project companies in liquidation. In 2019, EBITDA also benefited from the application of IFRS 16 (Euro +6.6 million). Excluding the effects of IFRS 16 application, EBITDA would be Euro 197.4 million, up 7% (Euro +13 million) on EBITDA for 2018, which, excluding the effects of the non-recurring event of 2018, would be Euro 184.4 million.
The operating profit is Euro 114.4 million is substantially in line with the previous year (Euro 114.8 million). The operating profit for 2019, excluding the effects of applying IFRS 16, would be Euro 113.7 million, up 5.6% (Euro +6 million) on the operating profit of 2018 excluding the effects of the non-recurring event of 2018 (Euro 107.7 million). The operating profit was influenced by: (i) higher depreciation due to greater installed capacity, (ii) higher amortization/depreciation of right-of-use assets in accordance with IFRS 16 (partially offset by lower rental and lease costs on EBITDA), and (iii) the increase in amortization in relation to Energy Team S.p.A.’s customer list, interruptibility contracts and know-how following the activity of Purchase Price Allocation.
It should be noted that in 2019 impairment losses of approximately Euro 9.5 million and the revaluation of the Rende biomass plant for Euro 2.4 million were made.
Net financial expense decreased by Euro 1.8 million compared to 2018. Financial expense was also affected by the entry into force of IFRS 16 from 1 January 2019, which led to an increase of Euro 3.1 million in interest expense for the Group. This effect is fully offset by the greater exchange rate gains, lower financial expense on non-recourse debt, which has decreased on average since 2018, and management’s actions to improve the efficiency of financial expense.
Income tax at December 31, 2019 amounts to Euro 14.8 million (Euro 16.7 million in the previous year). Income tax is positively influenced by (i) the recognition of deferred tax assets totaling Euro 3.8 million due
to the revision of the useful life of Geopower’s wind power plant and (ii) Energy Team S.p.A.’s application of the “patent box” tax relief on income from the use of intangible assets (i.e. trademark and know-how), with a total tax benefit of Euro 1.3 million.
As a consequence of the trends described above, the profit/(loss) for the period is Euro 63.2 million, equal to 16.9% of revenue. The minorities are down (Euro -1.5 million), mainly due to lower income from the wind power plants in the United Kingdom. The profit for 2019, excluding the effects of applying IFRS 16, would be Euro 65.1 million, up 23.3% (Euro +12.3 million) on the net profit for 2018, excluding the effects of the non-recurring event of 2018 (Euro 52.8 million).
The profit/(loss) attributable to owners of the parent is Euro 48.4 million, up 10.9% on the Euro 43.7 million of the previous year. The profit for 2019 attributable to the owners of the parent, excluding the effects of applying IFRS 16, would be Euro 50.1 million, up 36.1% (Euro +13.3 million) on the profit/(loss) attributable to owners of the parent for 2018 attributable to the owners of the parent, excluding the effects of the non-recurring event of 2018 (Euro 36.8 million).
Net financial position
The net financial position, including the fair value of derivatives, amounts to Euro 720.8 million, compared to Euro 547.0 million as at December 31, 2018 (Euro 640.0 million net of the effects of applying IFRS 16).
The increase in the net financial position, equal to approximately Euro 173.8 million, is essentially attributable to acquisitions and investments in plants under construction made during the period, net of some disposals, equal to approximately Euro 190.8 million; the generation of cash flow from operating activities, amounting to Euro 134.8 million, and the increase in the fair value of derivatives, amounting to some Euro 5.3 million, more than offset the distribution of dividends and changes in non-controlling interests of about Euro 31.9 million, the negative exchange rate effect, of approximately Euro 14.8 million, and the application of the new IFRS 16 standard, amounting to about Euro 76.4 million.
The net financial position, excluding the fair value of derivatives, amounts to Euro 688.2 million (Euro 509.0 million as at December 31, 2018).
Capex
Capital expenditure in property, plant and equipment and intangible assets amounts to Euro 152.2 million, of which Euro 139.5 million in property, plant and equipment in connection with the acquisition of 100% of the companies owning a portfolio of five wind farms operating in France (Euro 19.1 million), the construction of the wind farms in Brattmyrliden (Euro 17.9 million) and Åliden (Euro 37.5 million) in Sweden and those of Falck Renewables Vind in Norway (Euro 42.2 million) and Energia Eolica de Castilla in Spain (Euro 8.6 million), the construction of the Falck Middleton battery (Euro 3.1 million), the capitalization of the costs relating to the extention of the duration of the land lease contracts for Geopower (Euro 2.4 million) and the capitalization of rights of use for Euro 2.6 million.
Capex in intangible assets amounts to Euro 12.7 million.
Other capex (change in the consolidation scope)
The acquisition of the five wind farms in France (Julia) led to a change in the scope of consolidation of approximately Euro 45.0 million (including the net financial position acquired).

In addition, at the end of December 2019, the wind famrs in Hennøy (Norway) and Åliden (Sweden) came into operation for a total of 96.8 MW.
Economic and financial performance of Falck Renewables S.p.A.
The year 2019 ended with a net profit of Euro 27.3 million. The result is mainly affected by: (i) lower release of provisions for risks of Euro 3.2 million compared to the previous year, (ii) higher service costs of Euro 3.2 million, (iii) lower income/expense from investments of Euro 1.6 million and (iv) lower financial income/expense of Euro 1.6 million.
Most significant management events in the fourth quarter of 2019
On October 10, 2019, Falck Renewables Wind Ltd. signed a joint development agreement with REG Windpower Ltd. for about 200 MW in solar and wind power projects in the United Kingdom. For this purpose, a devoted development company, Naturalis Energy Developments Ltd., has been set up. The development company is 70% owned by Falck Renewables Wind Ltd. and 30% by REG Damery Developers Ltd. Two projects in the portfolio, a wind power project and solar power project respectively, have already been authorized. Once the authorization process is complete, Falck Renewables Wind Ltd. will have the option to purchase and build the projects or sell one or more of them on the market.
On October 25, 2019, Actelios Solar S.p.A. successfully renegotiated and extended a non-recourse project financing agreement of Euro 21.7 million for three solar power plants in Sicily, with the addition of Euro 13.3 million, for a total of Euro 35 million. The renegotiated project financing agreement executed entirely with Crédit Agricole Corporate & Investment Bank, as Structuring Arranger, Hedging Provider and Agent Bank, is valid until December 2029 and is three and a half years longer than the previous agreement, with better terms and conditions.
On December 19, 2019, Parc Eolien du Fouy Sas, Parc Eolien des Cretes Sas and Esquennois Energie Sas renegotiated the non-recourse project financing of Euro 16.8 million with better financial terms and conditions (estimated interest savings of about 20% to loan maturity, i.e. July 15, 2026).
On December 19, 2019, the Group acquired, from Canadian Solar Group, 70% of Iron SPV S.r.l., which owns a solar power project being developed in Sicily for total capacity of 35 MW. The authorization process for the construction of the plant will begin in 2020 and, once authorization is given, the remaining 30% of the company will be acquired.
On December 19, 2019 Geopower Sardegna Srl (a wind farm with an operational installed capacity of 138 MW) signed an agreement with the municipalities of Buddusò and Ala de Sardi extending the agreement, concerning the land surface right, until the year 2041 confirming the company’s commitment to pay an annual fee to both municipalities for the entire duration of the agreement. This extension makes it possible to extend the useful life of the wind farm.
On December 20, 2019, Eni New Energy US Inc. (“ENE US”) and Falck Renewables North America Inc. (“FRNA”) signed a strategic agreement for the joint development of renewable energy projects in the United States. This agreement provides for the creation of a jointly owned (50:50) platform for the development, construction and financing of new renewable source projects, such as solar power, onshore wind power and storage. At the same time, according to the terms of the agreement, FRNA will transfer to ENE US 49% of its interests in the plants currently operating in the United States, for a total of 112.5 MW.
On December 23, 2019, Falck Middleton Generation, LLC signed a financing agreement with U.S. Bancorp Community Development Corporation for an operating energy storage battery (6.6 MWh) connected to the solar power plant operating in Middleton, Massachusetts (USA). Tax equity will help finance a small percentage of the USD 3.6-million investment project, which includes equipment, engineering, construction and development costs.
On December 30, 2019, the plants in Hennøy (Norway) and Åliden (Sweden) began operating, adding 96.8 MW to the Group’s installed capacity.
Events after the end of the 2019 financial year
On January 30, 2020, Falck Renewables Vind AS signed a 10-year power purchase agreement (PPA) for the sale of 70% of the electricity produced by the wind power plant in Hennøy (Norway) to to a major European commodity player.
On February 7, 2020, the Spanish Energia Eolica de Castilla plant began operating, increasing the Group’s installed capacity by 10 MW. The plant was built as part of a partnership with Ascia Renovables SL. The company signed a long-term power purchase agreement with Holaluz, a Spanish energy supplier, providing a stable revenue stream.
Foreseeable evolution of operations
The Group’s results in 2020 will benefit from (i) the production of the wind power plants in Åliden, Sweden (46.8 MW) and Hennøy, Norway (50 MW) for the full year, (ii) the production of the five wind power plants operating in France acquired in March 2019 (56 MW) for the full year, (iii) the production of the Energia Eolica de Castilla plant in Spain (10 MW) for 11 months and (iv) the increase in production of about 15% of the Spinasanta solar plant (6 MW in Italy) from Q2 2020.
The Group is currently considering several investment proposals in the regions of interest included in the business plan.
Thanks to the Group’s excellent positioning, both in terms of skills and in terms of economic and financial resources, and its ability to react, all internal conditions are in place to meet future challenges.
Guidance
The Group expects consolidated EBITDA of Euro 196 to 206 million in 2020 and a profit attributable to owners of the parent of Euro 40 to 44 million, due to the volatility of the main market drivers – first and foremost energy prices and exchange rates – and the measures taken by management to increase Group revenue and income. The consolidated Net Financial Position (including the fair value of derivatives) should fall within a range of Euro 775 to 785 million (at a €/£ exchange rate of 0.878 and a €/$ exchange rate of 1.14). Installed MW are expected to exceed 1,250 MW at year end.
The Group reserves the right to update the foreseeable evolution of the operations and the guidance, should the “Coronavirus (or Covid-19) crisis” generate material impacts on the Group’s economic and financial indicators.
