("Greenko", "the Company" or "the Group")
Interim Results for the six months ended 30 June 2015
Greenko, the Indian developer, owner and operator of clean energy projects, today announces its unaudited interim results for the six month period ended 30 June 2015 ("the period").
Effective 31 December 2014 the Company changed its financial year end from 31 March to 31 December. These results, therefore, are for the six months from 1 January 2015 to 30 June 2015 and, being the first half year of presentation for this period, previous year comparatives are not available.
Operational & Financial Highlights
· Operational capacity - 838 MW
· Generation - 904 GWh
· Revenue - US$56.1 million
· EBITDA - US$34.9 million
· Adjusted loss after tax - US$21.4 million (excluding exceptional item)
· Property, plant, equipment and intangibles - US$1,316.6 million
Non-binding offer to acquire the Company's shares in Greenko Mauritius ("GM")
· As announced on 14 August 2015, the Company has signed non-binding heads of terms with Cambourne Investment Private Limited, an affiliate of GIC, for the sale of all of the Company's shares in GM for a gross cash consideration of approximately £162.8 million
· The transaction documentation is at an advanced stage and the Company expects to present the sale proposal to shareholders for approval in the near future
Commenting on the results, Anil Chalamalasetty, CEO and MD of Greenko, said:
"Our portfolio approach continues to deliver a good operational performance and, during the six month period to 30 June 2015, we have added 123 MW of operational capacity.
As the Indian energy market becomes increasingly favourable towards hydro and wind power, especially with the Government's recent announcement increasing its target for renewable generation to 175 GW by 2022, we remain very optimistic about the strong sustainability of our operational and financial performance. We are on track to beat our milestone target of owning and operating 1,000 MW of generating capacity by the end of 2015."

About Greenko
Greenko is a mainstream participant in the growing Indian energy industry and a market leading owner and operator of clean energy projects in India utilising a de-risked portfolio of wind, run-of-river hydropower, natural gas and biomass assets. The Group is now focused on building new utility scale wind farms and hydropower projects across India. Greenko intends to increase the installed capacity it operates by winning concessions to develop and build new greenfield assets, as well as making selective acquisitions which enhance shareholder value. Greenko's portfolio is carefully planned and managed to ensure it offers investors diversification and spreads its risk across a number of projects that utilise various well-proven environmental technologies.
The Company's goal is to reach 1,000 MW of operational capacity in 2015. With a core belief in sustainability both operationally and environmentally, Greenko endeavours to be a responsible business playing an important role in the community beyond its role in the power generation industry. The Company maintains a continuous involvement in localised projects and community programmes which centre on education, health and wellbeing, environmental stewardship and improving rural infrastructure. Greenko Group plc was admitted to trading on the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange (LSE: GKO) in November 2007.
Chairman's Statement
I am pleased to report Greenko's interim unaudited results for the six month period ended 30 June 2015. The Company's operations have generally performed well during the period and our available funds and capital resources will allow us to meet our target of having 1,000 MW of generating assets by the end of 2015.
Growth in our generating portfolio was good, with two new wind projects being commissioned during the period, taking our operating wind portfolio to 502 MW. Our operating hydro portfolio increased to 258 MW with the acquisition of the Swasti Hydro 22.5 MW asset in our Northern cluster. Our total operating portfolio, including legacy biomass and other assets, was 838 MW at the period end, a 17.2% increase since the end of December 2014. Including our on-going construction work, this resulted in US$171.7 million of net assets being added to the balance sheet during the period.
A number of additional wind projects are under advanced stages of construction and scheduled to be commissioned later this year, and our hydro projects currently under construction are expected to become operational in 2015 and 2016.
Update on proposed sale of the Company's shares in Greenko Mauritius
The Company announced on 14 August 2015 that it had signed non-binding heads of terms with GIC for the sale of all of the Company's shares in GM for a gross cash consideration of £162.8 million. The transaction documentation is at an advanced stage and the Company expects to present the sale proposal to shareholders for approval in the near future.
Keith Henry
Chairman
Chief Executive Officer's Statement
Introduction
I am pleased to present Greenko's interim unaudited financial results for the six month period ended 30 June 2015 which, as a result of the change in our financial year end to 31 December, is the first occasion we have reported for this period.
Operational Review
Generation during the period was 904 GWh, an increase of 49% from 606 GWh in the same six month period last year. Installed capacity increased to 838 MW, compared to 715 MW as at the end of December 2014, giving a growth of 17.2%.
The acquisition of the 22.5 MW Swasti Hydro project in the Northern Cluster increased our operating hydro assets to 258 MW, and the completion of 100 MW of two new wind projects increased our operating wind portfolio to 502 MW. We have retained our 78 MW of fuel and biomass plants but, as the scale of our renewable projects increases, we are considering the future of these plants.
Construction progress
We have continued with our extensive investment programme by adding US$171.7 million to our capital assets during the period, and Greenko now has US$1,316.6 million invested in fixed and intangible assets (arising from acquisitions), making the Company one of India's leading renewable power companies.
Our construction of utility scale on-shore wind farms has continued apace. By taking advantage of the substantial grid connection capacity established for our initial developments, subsequent phases have been able to come on stream more rapidly. The construction of a further 300 MW of wind farms spread over three locations is well under way. The 60 MW Tanot Phase 2 and 100 MW Vyshali projects are progressing well and are expected to be operational by December 2015.
We also have 178 MW of hydro assets under construction. By their nature, these are longer term construction projects, but potentially offer longer life cycles and higher load factors. Our large 96 MW project at Dikchu in Sikkim is nearing completion and is expected to be operational by end of the year. Our other hydro investments are smaller in scale and are due to become operational in 2016.
Convertibles
In 2013 we were pleased to welcome GIC as a new investor in our subsidiary holding company GM with an investment of £100 million in exchangeable shares. Both GIC and Global Environment Emerging Markets, who invested in 2009, have the opportunity to exchange their investment in GM for shares in the Company in the period from mid-2015 to 2017 which, when exchanged, would significantly increase the equity capital base of the Company. The first occasion these shares could be exchanged was 1 July 2015. In view of the significant fall in the share price, the Company has had to take a non-cash charge in its profit and loss account for the potential increase in dilution of equity if exchanged by these two institutions, based on the guaranteed protective returns to them. This has resulted in a provision of US$98 million as an exceptional item.
Financial Review
Unfortunately our good operational performance has not resulted in similarly strong financial results due to several factors, including a late start and below average monsoon season, which impacted our southern based wind and hydro projects in particular, plus lower price realisation in the open market for energy generation by Budhil Hydro. In the period, we delivered overall revenues of US$56.1 million, EBITDA of US$34.9 million, and a pre-exceptional loss before tax of US$20.6 million.
At the end of 30 June 2015, Greenko had US$95.2 million of net cash resources, and US$191.9 million of undrawn facilities available for investment and growth. In addition, as we complete the present portfolio of assets under construction and they become operational for a full year, we can expect a significant increase in the internally generated free cash flow to contribute to further growth.
Outlook
The six month period from January to June is before the main monsoon season, which is typically June to September, and hence generation from our wind and hydro projects is considerably lower in this period than is expected in the second half of the year. These seasonal factors, coupled with the Company's depreciation and finance costs being period/time based costs and not proportionate to revenue split, create a considerable seasonal variation in our results for each half of the year. Furthermore, as outlined above, we will have 256 MW of additional assets operational before the year end, taking us past our 1,000 MW target and significantly increasing the amount of generation we will produce during 2016.

1. General information
Greenko Group plc ("the Company" or "the Parent") is a company domiciled in the Isle of Man and registered as a company limited by shares under the provisions of Part XI of the Isle of Man Companies Act 2006. The registered office of the Company is at Merchants House, 24 North Quay, Douglas, Isle of Man, IM1 4LE. The Company is listed on the Alternative Investment Market ("AIM") of the London Stock Exchange.
The Company together with its subsidiaries ("the Group") is in the business of owning and operating clean energy facilities in India. All the energy generated from these plants is sold to state utilities and other electricity transmission and trading companies in India through power purchase agreements ("PPA"). The Group holds a licence to trade up to 100 million units of electricity per annum in the whole of India except the state of Jammu and Kashmir. The Group is also a part of the Clean Development Mechanism ("CDM") process and generates and sells Certified Emission Reductions ("CER") and Voluntary Emission Reductions ("VER") and Renewable Energy Certificates ("REC").
These financial statements are the un-audited interim condensed consolidated financial statements ("Interim Financial Statements") for the six month period ended 30 June 2015 (hereafter 'the interim period'). The interim financial statements have been approved for issue by the Board of Directors on 29 September 2015. .
2. Basis of preparation
The condensed interim consolidated financial statements ("the interim financial statements") are for the six months ended 30 June 2015 and are presented in US Dollars. The interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 (IAS 34) Interim Financial Reporting and do not include all of the information required in annual financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2014.
3. Significant accounting policies
The interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies adopted in the Group's last annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2014. The presentation of the Interim Financial Statements is consistent with the audited Annual Financial Statements. Where necessary, comparative information has been reclassified or expanded from the previously reported Annual Financial Statements.
Presentation of 'Exceptional items' on the statement of profit or loss
During the period ended December 2014, the Group has included a new line item 'Exceptional items' in the consolidated statement of profit or loss. Exceptional items are material items which individually, or of a similar type, in aggregate, need to be disclosed separately by virtue of their size, nature or incidence in order to better understand the Group's financial performance. Management believes that 'exceptional items' is meaningful for users of the consolidated financial statements as it helps the investors in analysing operating results and profitability.
4. Estimates
The preparation of the Interim Financial Statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets, liabilities and the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the Interim Financial Statements. If in the future such estimates and assumptions, which are based on management's best judgments at the date of the Interim Financial Statements, deviate from the actual circumstances, the original estimates and assumptions will be modified as appropriate in the period in which the circumstances change.
5. Earnings per share
Both the basic and diluted earnings per share have been calculated using the profit attributable to the shareholders of the parent company as the numerator, i.e. no adjustments to profits were necessary during the six months period ended 30 June 2015 and nine months period ended 31 December 2014.
The weighted average number of shares for the purposes of the calculation of diluted earnings per share can be reconciled to the weighted average number of ordinary shares used in the calculation of basic earnings per share as follows:
30 June 2015 | 31 December 2014 | |
Weighted average number of ordinary shares used in basic earnings per share | 155,761,606 | 152,608,879 |
Shares deemed to be issued for no consideration in respect of share based payments | 149,992 | 149,995 |
Shares deemed to be issued for no consideration to preference shareholders of subsidiary company | 29,124,371 | 16,984,771 |
Adjustment for assumed conversion of A Exchangeable Shares | 44,861,538 | 44,861,538 |
