In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the events or circumstances referred to in the forward-looking statements may not occur. None of the future projections, expectations, estimates or prospects in this presentation should be taken as forecasts or promises nor should they be taken as implying any indication, assurance or guarantee that the assumptions on which such future projections, expectations, estimates or prospects have been prepared are correct or exhaustive or, in the case of the assumptions, fully stated in the presentation. Abengoa Yield plc undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or developments or otherwise.Many factors could cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements that may be expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements, including, among others: changes in general economic, political, governmental and business conditions globally and in the countries in which the Company does business; decreases in government expenditure budgets, reductions in government subsidies or adverse changes in laws affecting the Company’s businesses and growth plan; challenges in achieving growth and making acquisitions; inability to identify and/or consummate future acquisitions; legal challenges to regulations, subsidies and incentives that support renewable energy sources; extensive governmental regulation in a number of different jurisdictions; changes in prices, including increases in the cost of energy, natural gas, oil and other operating costs; counterparty credit risk and failure of counterparties to the Company’s offtake agreements to fulfill their obligations; inability to replace expiring or terminated offtake agreements with similar agreements; new technology or changes in industry standards; inability to manage exposure to credit, interest rate, exchange rate, supply and commodity price risks; reliance on third-party contractors and suppliers; failure to maintain safe work environments; insufficient insurance coverage and increases in insurance cost; litigation and other legal proceedings; reputational risk; revocation or termination of the Company’s concession agreements; variations in market electricity prices; unexpected loss of senior management and key personnel; changes to our relationship with Abengoa, S.A.; developments at Abengoa S.A.; weather conditions; failure of newly constructed assets to perform as expected; failure to receive dividends from assets; changes in our tax position; unanticipated outages at our generation facilities; the condition of capital markets generally and our ability to access capital markets; adverse results in current and future litigation and our ability to maintain and grow our quarterly dividends.

We present non-GAAP financial measures because we believe that they and other similar measures are widely used by certain investors, securities analysts and other interested parties as supplemental measures of performance and liquidity. The non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies and have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our operating results as reported under IFRS as issued by the IASB. Non-GAAP financial measures and ratios are not measurements of our performance or liquidity under IFRS as issued by the IASB and should not be considered as alternatives to operating profit or profit for the year or any other performance measures derived in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB or any other generally accepted accounting principles or as alternatives to cash flow from operating, investing or financing activities.The CAFD and other guidance included in this presentation are estimates as of February 29, 2016. These estimates are based on assumptions believed to be reasonable as of that date. Abengoa Yield plc. disclaims any current intention to update such guidance, except as required by law. References in this presentation to Atlantica Yield refer to Abengoa Yield plc. Atlantica Yield is the new brand for Abengoa Yield plc, that expects to change name in the next Shareholders General Meeting in 2016. DISCLAIMER
