Robust financial projections to assess project viability.
Business models with a short- and medium-term horizon, built with monthly or quarterly detail. They include scenarios for revenues, costs and financing to support investment decisions, from start-ups to established companies.
Atlantic touristic resort
A corporation was seeking to develop a large resort including hotels and villas around two golf courses in a top destination in an Atlantic Ocean island. The total investment was 700 million euros.
A model was built with detailed projection of building, commercialization, and operation of over 1,000 units, including condo buildings and villas, a time-sharing scheme, a marina and a shopping center.
Highly flexible model, with adjustable timetables for start and duration of construction per area, and sensitivity analysis over sales prices and operating costs. Included KPIs, graphs and financial statements.
Debt raising for greenfield wind plants
A Spanish industrial company wanted to raise financing to develop 130MW of greenfield wind plants in Spain.
A semi-annual model was built which included 3 plants projected separately, with market revenue down to EBIT and allowing for with sensitivities to price, production, opex and capex. The model then automatically optimized the debt sizing of both senior and mezzanine debts.
The company was able to measure returns for their investment under different debt sizes, durations and covenants and negotiate the debt raising exercise.
Bidding for Iberian PV portfolio
A Spanish group actively pursuing growth by acquisition wanted to present an offer for a 20MW PV portfolio located in Spain and Portugal.
Near identical models were built for each operating company, forecasting market and regulated revenue, opex and existing financing. Post deal refinancing options were also simulated, in order to optimize the structure.
Multiple scenarios were evaluated and an aggregated model with financial statements for all companies and for the group was then used to derive the bid value that would deliver the required shareholder return.
Debt refinancing of PV plant
A Spanish fund needed to refinance the senior debt of a 10MW PV plant with a bank syndicate due to a regulatory change with strong negative impact on revenues.
A semi-annual model was built that forecast the regulated revenues under the novel and highly complex regime. Various refinancing scenarios were forecast including swap rate break clauses and repayment profiles optimized to match future cash flow generation.
The analysis for refinancing negotiations was made using a highly flexible debt dashboard to continuously refine the options available and choose the most suitable deal for the company.
International arbitration for renewables portfolio
A European industrial conglomerate wanted to build an arbitration case for losses incurred on a 750MW portfolio of wind, solar, biomass and hydro plants in Spain.
A highly complex model was developed to calculate multiple scenarios based on the impact of successive regulatory changes on each plant’s cash flows and valuation.
The company’s lawyers used the outputs of the model to back up the claim presented to the arbitration court.
