Closes the acquisition of Carapé and changes payout strategy

Saeta announced it has closed the already announced acquisition of Carapé I & II, a 95 MW wind farm in Uruguay for an EV of US$230mn (US$65mn for the equity). Manchasol 2 is being refinanced with a longer tenor and cheaper debt.

The payout system changes from a fixed 90% of RECAFD to a 80-95% range. The 2017 DPS is being increased by a mere 1% against a 12% increase in the RECAFD. This may be seen as a negative by some, we value this move positively as it may well be in preparation of an equity increase that will fund new acquisitions. The payout should be restored when new assets are acquired.

Saeta is our favourite stock of the RAB listed Spanish companies (with Enagás and Red Eléctrica). We are to calculate the net effect of the announced changes to our €11.70 target price and announce it shortly. Our Buy recommendation is unchanged.
