IENOVA reporta resultados financieros del Primer Trimestre de 2013
México, D.F., 26 de abril de 2013. IENOVA, S.A.B. de C.V. (BMV: IENOVA*) reportó hoy sus primeros resultados financieros trimestrales como empresa pública. IENOVA es la primera compañía de infraestructura energética que cotiza en la Bolsa Mexicana de Valores. Después de haber realizado una emisión de deuda y una Oferta Pública Inicial de acciones, la empresa mantiene una posición financiera sólida y enfoca sus esfuerzos en la ejecución de nuevos proyectos de infraestructura energética. La empresa reportó una utilidad neta de $61 millones de dólares para el primer trimestre de 2013, en comparación con una utilidad neta de $68 millones de dólares en el primer trimestre de 2012. La variación se explica principalmente por un aumento en gastos administrativos recurrentes relacionados con la expansión de la estructura corporativa de la empresa, gastos relacionados con la emisión de deuda y gastos únicos relacionados con la emisión primaria de acciones en la Bolsa Mexicana de Valores, menores utilidades registradas en el negocio conjunto con Pemex, principalmente debido a efectos desfavorables del tipo de cambio sobre el Impuesto sobre la Renta, así como mayores gastos registrados en Termoeléctrica de Mexicali, en parte por un efecto del tiempo en el cobro de tarifas por servicios de administración en comparación con el año anterior, compensado por efectos favorables del tipo de cambio sobre el Impuesto sobre la Renta consolidado. Eventos durante el Primer Trimestre de 2013 IENOVA emitió dos series de Certificados Bursátiles (CEBURES), por un monto agregado de $5,200 millones de pesos (aproximadamente $408 millones de dólares):
Con el fin de mitigar el riesgo relacionado con el aumento en la tasa de interés y exposición a fluctuaciones en el tipo de cambio, IENOVA realizó contratos swaps, mediante los cuales convirtió los recursos de la colocación de deuda a dólares y fijó la tasa de interés variable. La tasa de interés promedio ponderada en dólares para los CEBURES con vencimiento en 2018 es 2.66% y para los CEBURES con vencimiento en 2023 es de 4.12%. Los recursos netos de la colocación de CEBURES, de aproximadamente $405 millones de dólares, se usaron para repagar aproximadamente $356 millones de deuda inter-compañía y para financiar nuevas inversiones. El 1 de marzo de 2013, se declaró y pagó un dividendo por $39 millones de dólares. El 21 de marzo de 2013, IENOVA fijó en $34.00 pesos por acción el precio para su oferta pública inicial registrada en México, consistente en 98,623,879 acciones ordinarias, así como su oferta privada internacional, consistente en 91,037,426 acciones. El mismo día, los colocadores mexicanos de la oferta pública inicial registrada en México y los compradores iniciales de la oferta privada internacional ejercieron sus opciones para comprar un monto adicional de 28,449,195 acciones ordinarias. Una vez ejercidas las ofertas iniciales y las opciones de sobreasignación, el agregado de acciones ordinarias vendidas representa aproximadamente el 18.9% del total de las acciones flotantes de IENOVA. El monto total de la oferta fue de $7,400 millones de pesos (aproximadamente $599 millones de dólares) y los recursos serán usados para financiar nuevos proyectos de inversión. “Estamos complacidos con los resultados operativos registrados durante este trimestre y estamos en línea para alcanzar nuestros objetivos financieros de 2013”, declaró Carlos Ruiz Sacristán, Presidente y Director General Ejecutivo de IENOVA. “Estamos realizando un excelente progreso en el desarrollo y construcción de todos nuestros proyectos de infraestructura. En este sentido, recibimos la autorización final por parte de la Comisión Reguladora de Energía para desarrollar nuestro primer proyecto de generación eólica en Baja California. Adicionalmente, las Demandas de Amparo que fueron promovidas en contra de los procesos de licitación para el Gasoducto Sonora fueron retiradas. Estamos muy orgullosos de haber completado nuestra primera colocación de deuda y por ser la primera empresa de infraestructura energética que cotiza en la Bolsa Mexicana de Valores”. IENOVA es una empresa de desarrollo, construcción, y operación de infraestructura energética en México. Sus operaciones en México abarcan varias líneas de negocio que comprenden toda la cadena de valor del sector de infraestructura energética abierta a la inversión privada en México.

(BMV: IENOVA*) today reported its first quarterly financial results as a publicly-traded company. IENOVA is the first energy company to be listed on the Mexican stock exchange. Following the public debt issuance and its initial public offering, the company is in a strong financial position and is focusing its efforts on the execution of new energy infrastructure projects. The company recorded first-quarter 2013 profit of $61 million, compared to $68 million in the first-quarter 2012. The variance was mainly due to an increase in ongoing administrative expenses related to the expansion of the company’s corporate structure, debt issuance and one-time initial public offering expenses, lower earnings at the joint venture with Pemex due to unfavorable foreign exchange effects on income tax, and increased expenses at Termoeléctrica de Mexicali due in part to timing of energy management services fees compared to the prior year, offset by favorable foreign exchange effects on consolidated income tax. Developments during first-quarter 2013 IENOVA issued two series of notes, referred to as CEBURES, in an aggregate principal amount of Pesos 5.2 billion (approximately $408 million):
In order to hedge the Mexican Peso exposure, IENOVA entered into a cross currency swap agreement which converted the proceeds of the debt offering into U.S. dollars and fixed the variable interest rate note. The weighted average interest rate, in U.S. dollars, for the notes maturing in 2018 is 2.66% and, for the notes maturing in 2023, is 4.12%. The net proceeds of the CEBURES offering, which were approximately $405 million, were used to repay approximately $356 million in affiliate debt and to fund new investments. A dividend in the amount of $39 million was declared and paid on March 1, 2013. IENOVA priced its initial public offering registered in Mexico of 98,623,879 shares of common stock along with a concurrent private offering of 91,037,426 shares at a value of 34.00 Pesos per share. On the same day, the 30-day overallotment options provided to the underwriters in the Mexican public offering and the initial purchasers in the private offering consisting of 28,449,195 shares of common stock were exercised. After the initial offerings and over allotment options exercise, the aggregate shares of common stock sold represent approximately 18.9 percent of IENOVA’s outstanding ownership interest. The total capital raised was Pesos 7.4 billion (approximately $599 million) and proceeds will be used to fund capital expenditures for new infrastructure projects. “We are pleased with the operating results during the quarter and we are on-track to meet our 2013 financial goals,” said Carlos Ruiz Sacristan, Chairman and CEO of IENOVA. “We are making excellent progress in the development and construction of all of our new infrastructure projects. In this regard, we received the final approval from the Comision Reguladora de Energia for our first wind generation project in Baja California. Additionally, the legal injunctions (amparos) to the Sonora Pipeline project tenders were dismissed. We are very proud to have completed our first debt offering and to be the first publicly traded energy company quoted on the Mexican stock exchange.” IENOVA is focused on the development, construction and operation of energy infrastructure in Mexico. The company’s footprint in Mexico ranges across several business lines encompassing the entire energy infrastructure value chain that is open to private investment in Mexico. Amounts are presented in U.S. dollars, the functional currency of the company, except where noted, and in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).
