EAM Solar ASA : 1st quarter 2014 report
EAM: 1(st) quarter 2014 report
30(th) of April 2014
EAM Solar ASA has released the 1(st) quarter 2014 financial report and the
highlights are;
EAM Solar ASA took important strategic steps during the first three months of
2014. The company is close to finalise the P31 transaction at improved terms.
Operations have been in line with expectations, and a dividend of EUR 0.36 (NOK
3) is to be paid in May.
* P31 expected to close near term, yet delayed due to final negotiations,
which will reduce the total risk for EAM. The share purchase agreement will
be amended and EAM will under certain conditions have the right to sell back
some of the power plants and thus lower the portfolio risk.
* Equity issue of EUR 26,3m (NOK 220m) at an issue price of EUR 5,2 (NOK 80)
per share concluded in January. The equity issue and credit facility of EUR
6m secures financing of the P31 acquisition.
* Q1 power production of 1.5 GWh, 8% lower than seasonal average. Momo and
Caltignaga 15% above normal in the quarter while Varmo and Codroipo 14%
below normal in the quarter
* Reported EBITDA in the quarter was negative with EUR 342k, adjusted for
equity issue cost and due diligence cost on P31, EBITDA was positive with
EUR 216k.
* 1st quarter 2014 dividend payment of EUR 0.36 (NOK 3) per share decided in
accordance with Company bylaws, to be distributed to shareholders in week
20, 2014. Share will trade ex dividend from Monday 12th of May. Full year
2014 dividend distribution based on the P31 acquisition is expected between
EUR 0,84 to 1,2 per share (NOK 7 to 10) to be paid on a quarterly basis.
See enclosed 1(st) quarter financial report for further details.
