Strong growth in energy sales and first commercial successes in services

* * *

Voltalia (Euronext Paris, ISIN code: FR0011995588), an international player in renewable energies, announces its Q4 2016 revenues and cumulative revenues for the entire year.

"The excellent progression for this quarter bears witness to Voltalia's operational performance in its historical business, the production of renewable electricity. In this respect, the start-up of the Vila Pará plant in Brazil illustrates the remarkable work performed by our teams. To these achievements add the first successes coming from the relaunch of the services activity since the acquisition of Martifer Solar", congratulates Sébastien Clerc, Chief Executive Officer of Voltalia.

For a better appreciation of its business activity, Voltalia recalls that following the acquisition of Martifer Solar in Q3 2016, the latter was consolidated within the consolidated accounts from 1 August 2016.

Q4 2016 financial information

2016. Over the period, Martifer Solar contributed an amount of €9.5 million to the Group's consolidated revenues.

Energy sales (+59% in Q4) benefited from:

  • the full effect of the revenues from the plants commissioned in year-end 2015 in Brazil: Vamcruz (93 MW) and Oiapoque (12 MW);

  • the revenues from the Vila Pará plant (99 MW) in Brazil, commissioned during Q3 2016. Benefiting from its head-start over its initial schedule2, Voltalia was able to sell the electricity generated on the free market with higher sales prices than those secured in the 20-year sales contracts.

    Revenues generated by the services activities recorded a strong growth thanks to the acquisition of Martifer Solar3:

  • in development, construction and procurement, revenues mainly came from achieved or on-going power plants construction contracts in Jordan, the United Kingdom, Belgium and France; and

  • in operation and maintenance: €3.5 million generated by long-standing Martifer Solar contracts, mainly in Portugal, Spain and Italy.

Cumulatively over the year, Voltalia recorded a doubling of its consolidated revenues, which totalled

€125.3 million compared to €58.5 million in 2015. Excluding Martifer Solar and at constant exchange rates, consolidated revenues was €113.4 million in 2016. In total, since its consolidation on 1 August 2016, Martifer Solar has contributed €16.2 million to the Group's consolidated revenues for 2016.

Highlights

Since the beginning of Q4, Voltalia further developed its electricity production activity:

  • launch of the construction of the 27 MW Vila Acre wind power plant in Brazil, which commissioning is expected in Q3 2017, over one year before the 20-year electricity sales contract takes effect4;

  • signing of a strategic partnership with Green of Africa, private Moroccan operator, to co-develop projects proposed by both parties in Morocco and throughout the rest of the African continent5;

  • begining of the construction of Voltalia's first solar plant in Brazil (4 MW) on the Oiapoque site6.

    Besides, the successful operational integration of Martifer Solar, whose teams are now merged with Voltalia's long-standing teams, bore fruit during this fourth quarter. Having experienced a strong decline in 2015 and 2016 up until its acquisition by Voltalia, business activities are recovering and recorded initial successes in the fourth quarter, among which:

  • new construction and procurement contracts signed in Belgium (1.2 MW of solar rooftop and a

0.3 MW canopy) and in Tanzania (5 MW solar plant with trackers);
