Exhibit 99.1

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

On November 10, 2021, Array Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”) entered into a purchase agreement (“Purchase Agreement”) to acquire 100% of the share capital of Soluciones Técnicas Integrales Norland, S.L., a Spanish private limited liability company, and its subsidiaries (collectively, “STI”) (the “STI Acquisition”). On January 11, 2022 (the “Closing Date”), the Company paid closing consideration to STI consisting of €361 million (approximately $410.5 million) in cash (the “Cash Consideration”) and 13,894,800 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Equity Consideration”) in accordance with the Purchase Agreement.

In connection with the STI Acquisition, the Company completed the following Financing, as defined below:

 

   

On December 3, 2021 and December 9, 2021, the Company completed a private offering of $375 million and $50 million over allotment, respectively, in aggregate principal amount of 1.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2028 (the “Notes”) resulting in proceeds of $364.7 million and $48.6 million, respectively, after deducting the original issue discount of 2.75%. The Company’s historical consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 already reflects the issuance of the Notes. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations has been prepared to reflect the issuance of the Notes as if it had been completed on January 1, 2021.

 

   

On January 7, 2022, the Company issued and sold 50,000 shares of Series A Perpetual Preferred Stock (“Preferred Shares”) and 1,125,000 shares of Common Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $49,376,125. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations has been prepared to reflect the issuance of the Preferred Shares as if it had been completed on January 1, 2021. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet has been prepared to reflect the issuance of the Preferred Shares as if it had been completed on December 31, 2021.

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information reflects adjustments to the historical financial results of the Company in connection with the Transactions, as defined below. The following sets forth the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information after giving effect to the STI Acquisition and issuance of the Notes and Preferred Shares (“Financing”) (together the “Transactions”) as if they had occurred on or as of the dates for the periods indicated. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been derived from the historical financial statements of each of Array, which are incorporated by reference in this Form 8-K, and of STI, which are filed with this Form 8-K. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared using the acquisition method of accounting and applying the assumptions and adjustments described in the accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared to illustrate how the Transactions may have impacted the Company’s financial statements as follows:

 

   

unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information as of December 31, 2021 to illustrate the effect that the STI Acquisition and the issuance of Preferred Shares might have had on the Company if it had been completed on December 31, 2021, for purposes of presenting an unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2021; and

 

   

unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information for the year ended December 31, 2021 to illustrate the effect that the Transactions might have had on the Company if they had been completed on January 1, 2021 for purposes of presenting an unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2021.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021 prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”), which are incorporated by reference into this Form 8-K. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has also been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements of STI as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021 prepared in accordance with Spanish GAAP and reconciled to U.S. GAAP, which are filed with this Form 8-K.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is prepared, unless otherwise specified, on a basis that is consistent with the accounting policies used in the preparation of the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information relating to STI reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been derived from the consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with Spanish GAAP and reconciled to U.S. GAAP in the reconciliation footnote and the accounting policies as applied by the Company. Therefore, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information relating to STI includes any material differences identified between U.S. GAAP and Spanish GAAP.

 

1


The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is presented in thousands of U.S. dollars. Accordingly, STI consolidated financial data has been converted from Euros to U.S. dollars at the rates provided by the United States Federal Reserve for the relevant periods as disclosed below:

 

Period

   Euro to U.S.
dollars
 

Rate as of December 31, 2021

     1.1373

Average rate for the year ended December 31, 2021

     1.1830

The STI Acquisition will be accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with Accounting Standard Codification 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”). Under the acquisition method of accounting, the total estimated purchase price, calculated as described in Note (4) to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information, is allocated to the net tangible and intangible assets of STI acquired in connection with the STI Acquisition, based on their estimated fair values. Management has made a preliminary allocation of the estimated purchase price to the net tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on various preliminary estimates. These preliminary estimates and assumptions are subject to change during the measurement period (up to the time it takes to gather the necessary information and no longer than one year from the acquisition date). The final determination of the values of assets and liabilities and integration costs may result in actual values, assets, liabilities and expenses that are different from those set forth in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not include all information required for financial statements under U.S. GAAP, and should be read in conjunction with both the audited financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2021, which are incorporated by reference into this Form 8-K, and the audited financial statements of STI for the year ended December 31, 2021, which are filed with this Form 8-K.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information was prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X as amended by the final rule, Release No. 33-10786 “Amendments to Financial Disclosures about Acquired and Disposed Businesses,” using the assumptions set forth in the notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been adjusted to include Transaction Accounting Adjustments, which reflect the application of the accounting required by U.S. GAAP, linking the effects of the Transactions listed above to the Company’s historical consolidated financial statements.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is presented for informational purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of the financial position or results of operations that would have occurred had the events been consummated as of the dates indicated, nor are they indicative of any future results. The information presented in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not give effect to the potential impact of current financial conditions, or any anticipated revenue enhancements, cost savings or operating synergies that may result from the STI Acquisition.

All unaudited pro forma adjustments and their underlying assumptions are described more fully in the notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.

Note: The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations has been presented by function consistent with Array’s historical presentation. STI’s historical Income Statement is presented by nature. For the purposes of preparing the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations, this difference in presentation was not considered material for the purpose of this Form 8-K and has not been included in the alignment adjustments. The Company’s management will continue to conduct reviews of STI’s accounting policies and methodologies and may identify differences that, when adjusted or reclassified, could have a material impact on the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.


Note (4): STI Acquisition Adjustments

Preliminary Acquisition Price Allocation

Represents adjustments based on preliminary estimates of fair value and the adjustment to goodwill, property, plant and equipment, and intangible assets derived from the difference in the estimated total consideration and the estimated fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Upon completion of the fair value assessment after the STI Acquisition, it is anticipated that the ultimate purchase price allocation will differ from the preliminary assessment outlined below. Any changes to the initial estimates of the fair value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities will be recorded as adjustments to those assets and liabilities, and residual amounts will be allocated to goodwill. The estimated consideration is based on the cash paid and common stock issued.

The calculated value assigned to the property, plant, and equipment, and intangible assets has been estimated by management utilizing third-party preliminary valuation studies utilizing valuation techniques including the income, cost and market approaches. Property, plant, and equipment was valued using a cost approach based on the fixed asset registers provided by STI. Reproduction cost new is defined as the current cost of reproducing a new replica of a property with the same or closely similar materials. Reproduction cost new was estimated as a starting point using the historical costs and acquisition dates in the fixed asset registers and then deductions for physical deterioration, functional obsolescence, and economic obsolescence were made to estimate calculated value. Further, we also held multiple discussions with the STI’s accounting and operations personnel to understand the age, condition, utility, maintenance, and other factors that would impact the calculated value of the assets. Working capital amounts are assumed to have fair values equal to historical book values. The final purchase price allocation will be based on a subsequent appraisal which may result in materially different allocations for assets than those presented in this unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet. Any change in the amount of the final purchase price allocated to amortizable, finite-lived intangible assets as well as property, plant and equipment could materially affect the amount of amortization and depreciation expense. The preliminary purchase price and purchase price allocation are presented as follows:

As part of the valuation analysis, the Company identified backlog, customer relationships and tradename as intangible assets. The final fair value determinations for identifiable intangible assets may differ from this preliminary determination, and such differences could be material. The remaining useful life of the acquired intangible assets was estimated based on a preliminary estimate of the period over which substantially all of the cumulative discounted cash flows are expected to be realized. The pro forma adjustment to recognize additional expense related to the increased carrying value of the intangible assets has been computed with the assumption that these will be amortized over the estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis.

In connection with the issuance of the 2028 Notes, the Company entered into capped calls, which are not included for purposes of calculating the number of diluted shares outstanding, as their effect would have been anti-dilutive. The capped calls reduce the potential dilution to the Company’s common stock (or, in the event a conversion of the 2028 Notes is settled in cash, to reduce its cash payment obligation) in the event that at the time of conversion of the Notes the Company’s common stock price exceeds the conversion price of the Notes.

Independent Auditors’ Report

To the Shareholders and to the Directors of Soluciones Técnicas Integrales Norland, S.L. (Sociedad Unipersonal)

Qualified Opinion    

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Soluciones Técnicas Integrales Norland, S.L.U., and its subsidiaries (the Company) which comprise the consolidated balance sheet as of 31 December 2021, and the consolidated income statement, statement of changes in consolidated net equity and statement of consolidated cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements.

In our opinion, except for the omission of the comparative financial information as described in the Basis for Qualified Opinion section of our report, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with the Spanish General Chart of Accounts approved by Royal Decree 1514/2007, the Standards for the Preparation of Consolidated Annual Accounts approved by Royal Decree 1159/2010 and subsequent amendments.

Basis for Qualified Opinion    

As more fully disclosed in Note 2.4 and 2.1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Spanish General Chart of Accounts approved by Royal Decree 1514/2007 requires that consolidated financial statements be presented with comparative financial information. These consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended 31 December 2021 have been prepared solely for the inclusion in the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filings of Array Technologies Inc. Accordingly, no comparative financial information is presented.

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAS). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the Company and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our qualified audit opinion.


LOGO

 

Emphasis of Matter     

We draw attention to the explanatory note 23 in which the Directors state that the accounting principles and criteria used in the preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements, differ in certain material respects from generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. Information with regard to the nature and effect of these differences on consolidated results for the year and the consolidated balance sheet as of 31 December 2021 is presented in note 23 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Responsibilities of the Directors for the Consolidated Financial Statements    

The Directors are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the Spanish General Chart of Accounts approved by Royal Decree 1514/2007, the Standards for the Preparation of Consolidated Annual Accounts approved by Royal Decree 1159/2010 and subsequent amendments, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the Directors are required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for one year after the date that the consolidated financial statements are available to be issued.

Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements    

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with US GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the consolidated financial statements.

In performing an audit in accordance with US GAAS, we:

 

   

Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.

 

   

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements.

 

  2  


LOGO

 

   

Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.

 

   

Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.

 

   

Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.

We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control related matters that we identified during the audit.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

  2.1.

FAIR PRESENTATION

On 10 November 2021 Array Technologies, Inc, a US company, entered into a purchase agreement with the shareholders of the Parent Company pursuant to which, Array agreed to acquire all of the outstanding equity interests of the Parent Company. The closing of this agreement is dated 11 January 2022. The Board of Directors is preparing these consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ending 31 December 2021 to be used during the acquisition process and to be filed as part of the 8 K filing of Array Technologies, Inc. These Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with accounting rules in Spain and include a separate note with a reconciliation to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (US GAAP). These Consolidated Financial Statements comprise the Consolidated Balance Sheet, Consolidated Income Statement, Statement of Changes in Consolidated Net Equity, Statement of Consolidated Cash Flows and Notes (the Consolidated Financial Statements).

As mention above, these Consolidated Financial Statements have not been prepared to comply with statutory legal requirements.

The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared on the basis of the accounting records of the Parent Company and its subsidiaries. The Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2021 have been prepared in accordance with the Spanish General Chart of Accounts approved by Royal Decree 1514/2007, the Standards for the Preparation of Consolidated Annual Accounts approved by Royal Decree 1159/2010, and its subsequent amendments, to give a true and fair view of the consolidated equity and consolidated financial position at 31 December 2021 and consolidated results of operations, changes in consolidated equity, and consolidated cash flows for the year then ended.

There are no exceptional reasons why the legal provisions for accounting matters have not been applied in order to present an accurate picture.

The end of the year for the financial statements in all the consolidated companies is 31 December 2021, and coincides with that of the Parent Company, except for the subsidiary STINORLAND INDIA PRIVATE LIMITED, whose year ends on 31 March 2022, as established in local legislation. However, the financial information used to prepare the Consolidated Financial Statements corresponds to 31 December 2021.

  2.2.

ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

The accounting principles and criteria applied in preparing these Consolidated Financial Statements are those summarized in Note 3 of this report. The mandatory accounting principles that have a significant effect on these Consolidated Financial Statements have been applied. Non-mandatory accounting principles have not been applied.

 

  2.3.

CRITICAL ISSUES REGARDING THE MEASUREMENT AND ESTIMATION OF UNCERTAINTIES

The information contained in these Consolidated Financial Statements is the responsibility of the Parent Company’s Board of Directors. In preparing these Consolidated Financial Statements, the Board has made judgements and estimates that affect the application of the Group’s accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Specifically, estimates have been used relating to:

 

   

The useful life of intangible assets and property, plant and equipment (Notes 4 and 5)

 

   

Provisions for responsibilities (Note 16)

Actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to estimates are recognised prospectively.

 

  2.4.

COMPARATIVE INFORMATION

The consolidated balance sheet, consolidated income statement, statement of changes in consolidated net equity, statement of consolidated cash flows and the notes thereto for 2021 do not include comparative figures for 2020.

These Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared solely for the purpose of meeting the requirements of US Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Rule 3-05 of Regulation S-X, following the acquisition by Array Technologies (see note 2.1). These Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the Spanish General Chart of Accounts approved by Royal Decree 1514/2007, which have been applied consistently except that no comparative information has been presented in these Consolidated Financial Statements, as no comparatives are required under SEC Rule 3-05 of Regulation S-X. Nonetheless, this is a departure from accounting rules in Spain, as comparative figures are required to be presented.

 

  2.5.

AGGREGATION OF ITEMS

These Consolidated Financial Statements are presented consistently with the Spanish chart of accounts and do not contain any items that have been aggregated into one caption.

 

  2.6.

ITEMS DISCLOSED UNDER SEVERAL LINE ITEMS

There are no elements of a similar nature included in different items on the balance sheet.

 

  2.7.

CHANGES TO ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Royal Decree 1/2021 was published on 30 January 2021 amending the Spanish General Chart of Accounts. Consequently, the recognition and measurement standards 14 Revenue from sales and services and 9 Financial instruments have been amended in 2021.

  2.8.

RELATIVE IMPORTANCE

When determining the information to be disclosed in these Consolidated Financial Statements, on the different items of the Consolidated Financial Statements or other matters, the Group, in accordance with the Conceptual Accounting Framework, has taken into account relative importance in relation to the 2021 Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

3.

RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT STANDARDS

The principal standards of recording and measurement applied in preparing the attached Consolidated Financial Statements, in accordance with the General Accounting Plan, were the following:

 

  3.1.

CONSOLIDATION METHOD

The attached Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the global integration method for all the Subsidiaries over which the Parent Company has effective control: STI SOLAR, SpA., STINORLAND ISRAEL, LTD., STINORLAND SOUTH AFRICA (PTY), LTD., STINORLAND USA, INC., STINORLAND BRASIL, LTDA., STINORLAND MÉXICO, S.A. DE C.V., STINORLAND INDIA PRIVATE LIMITED, KTRSOLAR TECH, S.L. and STINORLAND AUSTRALIA PTY LTD.

For companies consolidated by the global integration method (full consolidation), 100% of the items on the balance sheet and income statement are incorporated, recognizing, if applicable, the value of the participation of non-controlling interest in net equity and in the consolidated income statement in the corresponding proportion.

In the investment-net equity elimination in the consolidation process, the offsetting of the book values representing the Parent Company’s equity instruments with the proportional part of the net equity items of the above-mentioned subsidiaries, has been carried out on the basis of values obtained from applying the acquisition method. If the date of first consolidation is later than the acquisition date, the figures resulting from applying the global integration method have been referred to the acquisition date.

 

  3.2.

TRANSACTIONS BETWEEN CONSOLIDATED COMPANIES

Results of internal transactions in the scope of consolidation have been eliminated, provided that their amount is relevant, being deferred until they are carried out with third parties outside the Group. If there are works carried out by the Group for its own fixed assets, the intra-group results are eliminated, arising at the rate of amortization of the affected items or when sold to third parties.

Intra-group balances and transactions, and any unrealised income and expenses (except for foreign currency transaction gains or losses) arising from intra-group transactions, are eliminated

 

  3.3.

HOMOGENISATION

Consolidation of the companies that make up the scope of consolidation has been carried out using their individual financial statements that are prepared in accordance with Royal Decree 1514/2007 for the Parent Company headquartered in Spain, and their own local legislation for foreign companies. All the necessary standardization operations have been carried out in the Group’s companies to unify the measurement criteria and structure of the consolidated annual reports with those used by the Parent Company in its financial statements.

LOGO

 

  3.4.

CONVERSION OF FINANCIAL RESULTS IN CURRENCY OTHER THAN THE EURO

Financial results in a currency other than the euro of foreign companies have been converted to euros using the exchange rate at balance sheet date. In this way the goods, rights and obligations have been converted at the exchange rate current at the close date, equity at historic exchange rate and items on the income statement at the average exchange rate for the year. The differences in conversion arising from the application of this method will be shown, where applicable, in the caption “Adjustments for change in value” in the section on equity on the consolidated balance sheet, the part that corresponds to non-controlling interest being deducted. During the year 2021 the conversion differences amounted to -2,119,973 euros.

 

  3.5.

INTANGIBLE ASSETS

As a general rule, intangible assets are initially measured at cost, whether this be acquisition price or production cost. The cost of intangible assets acquired through combinations of business is its fair value on the date of acquisition.

After initial recognition, intangible assets are measured at cost, minus accumulated depreciation and, if applicable, the accumulated amount of recorded impairment corrections.

Intangible assets are assets of a defined useful life and are amortized systematically in accordance with their estimated useful life and residual value. The methods and periods of amortization applied are revised at the end of each year and adjusted prospectively, if need be.

At least annually, indicators of impairment are evaluated, in which case the recoverable amounts are estimated, to the extent that the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amounts, an impairment is recorded for the difference.

For accounting, the Group recognizes any loss that may have occurred in the recorded value of these assets due to impairment, using the heading “Impairment and result on disposal of fixed assets”. The criteria for recognizing losses due to impairment is similar to the one described in section 3.6. Property, plant and Equipment.

3.5.1. IT APPLICATIONS

These are valued at acquisition price or production cost. The useful life of these items is estimated at 4 years, being amortized on a straight-line basis during this period.

3.5.2. CONCESSIONS

The costs incurred to obtain the concession of two parking places for the Group are amortized on a straight-line basis in the 75-year concession period. If the circumstances of non-compliance with conditions meant the rights derived from this concession are lost, the recorded value for it would be adjusted in its entirety to cancel its net book value.

 

11


LOGO

 

  3.6.

PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

These are valued at acquisition price or production cost that includes, besides the amount billed after deducting any discount or rebate in the price, all the additional and directly related expenses arising up to its commissioning, such as costs of earthworks and demolition, transport, insurance, installation, assembly and the like.

In the cost of property, plant and equipment that needs a period of more than one year before it is ready for use, exploitation or sale, the Group includes the financial expenses related to specific or generic financing, directly attributable to acquisition, construction or production. In 2021 no financial expenses have been capitalized in property, plant and equipment.

The initial estimate of the actual value of the obligations assumed derived from decommissioning or retirement and other associated obligations is also included in the value of property, plant and equipment. Other obligations associated with the asset include the costs of restoration when these give rise to recording of provisions.

The Group does not have any commitments for decommissioning, retirement or restoration of its fixed assets. Therefore, under assets, no values have been booked for hedging such obligations in the future.

The Parent Company’s Board of Directors considers that the accounting value of the assets does not exceed their recoverable value.

An impairment loss in the value of an item of property, plant and equipment arises when its net book value exceeds its recoverable amount, this being understood as the higher amount between its fair value minus costs to sell and its value in use.

Expenditure during the year due to repairs and maintenance carried out by the Group will be charged to the corresponding expenditure accounts. Expansion or improvement costs that give rise to an increase in production capacity or extension of the useful life of goods are incorporated into the asset as the higher value of that asset.

The property, plant and equipment accounts in progress are debited by the amount of those expenses, with a credit to the income item that includes the works carried out by the Group for itself.

Amortization of property, plant and equipment commences from the moment the assets are available for commissioning, on a straight-line basis during their estimated useful life, with an estimated residual value of zero. The periods of estimated useful life translate into the following annual depreciation ratios:

 

Construction

     4-5

Other installations

     15

Machinery

     15

Tools

     25

Transport items

     20

Furniture

Information processing equipment

  3.7.

LEASES

Whether to classify a lease as operating or financial depends on the circumstances of each of the contracting parties, since they can be classified differently as lessor or lessee.

 

12


LOGO

 

The Group classifies as a financing lease, any lease provided that its conditions infer that the risks and benefits inherent in the ownership of the asset that is the object of the contract have been substantially transferred to the lessee. The assumptions for transferring risks and benefits established in the PGC (General Accounting Plan) are assumed by the companies.

Other leases are classified as operating leases. In these ownerships of the leased good and, substantially all the risks and benefits that are devolved to the good, remains with the lessor.

When the Group acts as lessor, the leasing expenses are charged on a straight-line basis to the income statement according to the agreements and life of the contract.

 

  3.8.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

3.8.1. RECOGNITION AND CLASSIFICATION OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Since 1 January 2021 the Group has applied the new recognition and measurement standard 9 Financial instruments in accordance with Royal Decree 1/2021 amending the Spanish General Chart of Accounts.

No significant differences in the valuation of financial instruments existing in the Group at 1 January 2021 have been identified as a result of applying the new recognition and measurement standard

9. Consequently, the Group has applied the new recognition and measurement standard retroactively. This note on valuation only includes the Group’s policies in relation to the new standard.

The Company classifies financial instruments on initial recognition as a financial asset, a financial liability or an equity instrument in accordance with the economic substance of the contractual arrangement and the definitions of a financial asset, a financial liability and an equity instrument.

The Company recognises a financial instrument when it becomes party to the contract or legal transaction, in accordance with the terms set out therein, either as the issuer or holder or acquirer thereof.

For measurement purposes, the Company classifies financial instruments into the following categories: financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, showing separately those designated as such upon initial recognition from those that are held for trading and those mandatorily measured at fair value through profit or loss; financial assets and financial liabilities measured at amortised cost; financial assets measured at fair value through equity, showing separately equity instruments designated as such from other financial assets; and financial assets measured at cost. The Company classifies financial assets at amortised cost and at fair value through equity, except for equity instruments designated as such, according to the business model and the contractual cash flow characteristics. The Company classifies financial liabilities as measured at amortised cost, except those designated as at fair value through profit or loss and those held for trading.

 

13


LOGO

 

The Company classifies a financial asset or liability as held for trading when:

 

   

It is originated, acquired or issued or assumed principally for the purpose of selling or repurchasing it in the near term;

 

   

On initial recognition it is part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments that are managed together and for which there is evidence of recent actions in pursuit of short-term profit-taking;

 

   

It is a derivative financial instrument, provided that it is not a financial guarantee contract or it has not been designated as a hedging instrument or

 

   

It is an obligation that the Company has in a short position to deliver financial assets that it has been loaned.

The Company classifies a financial asset at amortised cost, even if it is admitted to trading, if it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold the investment in order to collect contractual cash flows and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding (SPPI).

The Company classifies a financial asset at fair value through equity if it is held within a business model whose objective involves collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets, and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI).

The business model is determined by key personnel of the Company and at a level that reflects how groups of financial assets are managed together to achieve a particular business objective. The Company’s business model represents the manner in which it manages its financial assets to generate cash flows.

The Company classifies other financial liabilities as financial liabilities at amortised cost, except for financial guarantee contracts, commitments to provide a loan at a below-market interest rate or financial liabilities that arise when a transfer of a financial asset does not qualify for derecognition or when the continuing involvement approach applies.

3.8.2. OFFSET PRINCIPLES

A financial asset and a financial liability are offset only when the Company currently has the legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts and intends either to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

3.8.3. FINANCIAL ASSETS AND FINANCIAL LIABILITIES AT FAIR VALUE THROUGH PROFIT OR LOSS

The Company recognises financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss initially at fair value. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition or issue are recognised as an expense when incurred.

 

14


LOGO

 

3.8.4. FINANCIAL ASSETS AND FINANCIAL LIABILITIES AT AMORTISED COST

Financial assets and financial liabilities at amortised cost are initially recognised at fair value, plus or minus transaction costs, and are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The effective interest rate is the discount rate that equates the carrying amount of a financial instrument to the estimated cash flows expected over the life of the instrument based on the contractual terms and for the financial assets, excluding future losses due to credit risk.

3.8.5. INTEREST AND DIVIDENDS

The Company recognises interest and dividends accrued on financial assets after acquisition as income in the income statement.

3.8.6. IMPAIRMENT OF FINANCIAL ASSETS

A financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired and impairment losses are incurred if there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset and the event or events have an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated

 

   

Impairment of financial assets carried at amortised cost

The amount of the impairment loss of financial assets carried at amortised cost is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred) discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate. For floating-rate financial assets, the effective interest rate corresponding to the measurement date under the contractual conditions is used. Nevertheless, the Company uses their market value, provided this is sufficiently reliable to be considered representative of the recoverable amount

3.8.7. DERECOGNITION OF FINANCIAL ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

Financial assets are derecognized when the rights to receive related cash flows have expired o have been transferred and the Group has substantially transferred the risks and benefits derived from their ownership.

Financial liabilities are derecognized when the obligations that generated them have ended.

3.8.8. REVERSE FACTORING

The Group has contracted reverse factoring facilities with various financial institutions to manage payments to suppliers. Trade payables settled under the management of financial institutions are recognised under trade and other payables in the consolidated balance sheet until they are settled, repaid or have expired.

Payables to financial entities as a result of the transfer of trade liabilities are recognised as trade payables advanced by banks under trade and other payables in the consolidated balance sheet.

 

15


LOGO

 

When the Group requests a deferral of the initial payment term of trade payables, these debts are derecognised within the original maturity period and a financial liability is recognised under loans and borrowings in the consolidated balance sheet.

The Group presents the net amount of collections and payments relating to reverse factoring in the statement of cash flows, as these collections and payments have a high turnover, as established in the applicable standards

 

  3.9.

INVENTORY

Goods included in Inventory are measured at their production cost, which is determined by adding the costs directly attributable to the product to the purchase price of raw materials and other consumables. To this is also added the part that reasonably corresponds to the indirectly attributable costs of the products, to the extent that such costs correspond to the period of manufacturing, processing or construction, which may have been incurred in placing them for sale and are based on the level of utilization of the normal working capacity of the means of production.

Indirect taxes on inventory are only incorporated into the acquisition price or production cost when they are not directly recoverable from the tax authorities.

Advances to suppliers on account for future inventory supplies are measured at cost.

The measurement of obsolete, defective or slow-moving products is reduced to their potential realization value.

 

  3.10.

TRANSACTIONS IN FOREIGN CURRENCY

Transactions carried out in foreign currency are recorded at the exchange rates current at the time of the transaction. During the year, the differences between the booked exchange rate and the one that is current at the time of receiving or paying are recorded as financial results in the income statement. The Parent Company has not changed the functional currency during the year, which is the euro.

Likewise, on 31 December of each year the conversion of balances receivable or payable originating in a foreign currency is made with the closing exchange rate. The resulting differences in measurement are recorded as financial results in the income statement.

 

  3.11.

INCOME TAX

The current tax expense is determined by adding the current tax expense and the deferred tax. The current tax expense is determined by applying the current tax rate to the financial profit for the year and reducing the result thus obtained by the amount of allowances and general deductions applied during the year.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities come from temporary differences defined as the amounts expected to be payable or recoverable in the future and that derive from the difference between the book value of assets and liabilities and their tax base. Those amounts are recorded by applying the tax rate at which they are expected to be recovered or settled to the temporary difference.

Deferred tax assets also arise as a result of negative tax bases pending compensation and from the credits for tax deductions generated and not applied.

 

16


LOGO

 

The corresponding deferred tax liability is recognized for all the temporary tax differences, unless the temporary difference is derived from the initial recognition of goodwill or initial recognition (except in a business combination) of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that, at the time it is carried out, affects neither the tax nor accounting result.

On the other hand, deferred tax assets, identified with deductible temporary differences, are only recognized in the event that it is probable that the Group will have sufficient future financial earnings against which they can be made effective and do not come from initial recognition (except in a business combination) of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the financial nor the accounting result. The remaining deferred tax assets (tax loss carryforwards and deductions pending compensation) are only recognized in the event that it is probable that the Group will have sufficient future financial earnings against which they can be made effective.

At each accounting close, recorded deferred taxes are reviewed (both assets and liabilities) with the aim of checking that they are still recoverable, making appropriate adjustments to them, in accordance with the results of the analyses carried out.

The deferred tax expense or income corresponds to the recognition and cancellation of deferred tax liabilities and assets, as well as, where appropriate, by recognizing and allocating to the income statement, the income directly attributable to net equity that may result from accounting for those deductions and other financial benefits that have the economic nature of grants.

 

  3.12.

INCOME AND EXPENSES

Income and expenses are allocated in accordance with the accrual criterion, regardless of the time when the monetary or financial flow derived from them occurs.

Since 1 January 2021 the Group has applied the new recognition and measurement standard 14 Revenue from sales and services in accordance with Royal Decree 1/2021 amending the Spanish General Chart of Accounts.

The effect of applying the new recognition and measurement standard 14 to 2020 revenues and its related trade receivables is not significant.

(i) Sale of goods

The Company manufactures and sells parts and components that are installable in solar panel tracking systems in energy parks. The installable parts and components are designed and manufactured exclusively for the customers; the level of customisation is not significant and they have alternative uses for the Company. Consequently, the revenue is recognised when control of these parts and components is transferred and not over time.

The Company sells the parts on F.O.B or delivery to the customer’s warehouse terms, therefore the revenue is recognised when the customer receives the products at the agreed point. The Company records these sales at the nominal amount, without considering the financial effect thereof, because this effect is not significant.

The Company grants customers a standard product warranty that is recognised in accordance with the indications of the accounting policy for provisions.

(ii) Rendering of services

The Company performs the service of installing the parts and components that it sells to some of its customers. Installation is not complex or specialised and a high level of integration is not required, therefore the goods and installation are considered separate obligations.

Revenues from this service are recognised over time because the Company’s performance creates an asset controlled by the customers and it has no alternative use for the Company, which has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed up to the reporting date.

Each month the Company invoices the actual stage of completion of the project, measured in units installed in each period, so that at the end of each period the revenue is recognised for the service effectually carried at any time.

 

  3.13.

PROVISIONS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Consolidated Financial Statements include all provisions with respect to which it is estimated that the probability that the obligation will have to be met is greater than the converse situation. Contingent liabilities are not recognized in the consolidated Balance sheet, but information on them is given in the notes, to the extent that they are not considered remote.

Where appropriate, provisions are valued at the actual value of the best possible estimate of the amount necessary to cancel or transfer the obligation, taking into account the information available about the event and its consequences, and recording adjustments that arise from updating of those provisions as a financial expense as it accrues.

 

  3.14.

ENVIRONMENTAL INFORMATION

The costs incurred, where appropriate, from systems, equipment and installations whose purpose is to minimize the environmental impact whilst carrying out the activity, and/or the protection and improvement of the environment are recorded as investments in property, plant and equipment.

The remaining expenses related to the environment, other than the above, are expensed as incurred. The calculation of potential environmental provisions that may arise, is made according to the best estimate of the provision at the time they are known, and under the assumption that insurance policies will not cover any damage caused.

 

  3.15.

CRITERIA USED FOR RECORDING AND VALUING EMPLOYEE EXPENSES

Employee expenses include all salaries and mandatory or voluntary social obligations accrued at all times, recognizing obligations for extra payments, holidays or variable salaries and their associated expenses.

Except for justifiable cause, companies are obliged to compensate their employees when their services cease.

In the absence of any foreseeable need for irregular termination of employment and given that those employees who retire or voluntarily end their services, do not receive severance payments, severance payments, when they arise, are booked to expenses at the time the decision is taken to terminate the employment.

  3.16.

GRANTS, DONATIONS AND BEQUESTS RECEIVED

Non-refundable capital grants are valued at the amount granted, initially being recognized as income directly attributable to net equity and attributable to the results during the period in the proportion of depreciation experienced by the assets financed by those grants, unless it is a question of non-depreciable assets, in which case they will be attributed to the income for the year in which they are sold or derecognized from the inventory.

While they have the features of repayable grants, they are booked as debts that can be converted into grants.

When grants are granted to finance specific expenses, they are booked as income in the year in which the expenses they are financing occur.

 

  3.17.

CRITERIA USED IN TRANSACTIONS BETWEEN RELATED PARTIES

If they exist, transactions between companies in the same Group, regardless of the degree of connection, are accounted for in line with the general rules. The items that are the subject of the transactions carried out will be booked at their fair value initially. Subsequent measurement is made in accordance with the specific rules that may apply.

 

  3.18.

CLASSIFICATION BETWEEN CURRENT AND NON-CURRENT BALANCES

In the attached consolidated balance sheet, balances with a maturity of less than one year from the date of the balance sheet are classed as current, those with a maturity of more than a year are considered non-current.

INFORMATION ON THE NATURE AND LEVEL OF RISK FROM FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

 

  9.1.

QUALITATIVE INFORMATION

 

a

MARKET RISK

During 2021 the Group has been operating in the international environment (EU, Chile, Israel, South Africa, Brazil, Mexico, the United States, Japan, Senegal and Egypt) and as such is exposed to exchange rate risk for currency transactions. To minimize this risk, the Group enters into exchange rate insurance contracts to hedge exchange rates when it is considered that these will perform unfavourably.

 

b

CREDIT RISK

The Group has significant concentrations of credit risk, however, it has policies and procedures to ensure that the products are sold to customers with a satisfactory credit history. In addition it manages the limits on individualized outstanding amounts for each debtor, on the basis of prior knowledge of each one and/or financial reports from third parties, supported by an integrated information management system. The Group also enters into credit insurance contracts to cover risks that may arise.

 

c

LIQUIDITY RISK

The Group carries out prudent liquidity risk management, based on maintaining adequate cash, and especially on the availability of financing through a sufficient amount of dedicated credit facilities and sufficient capacity to settle market positions. The Group’s objective is to maintain flexibility in financing through the availability of lines of credit if they are needed.

 

  9.2.

QUANTITATIVE INFORMATION

Given the characteristics and specifications of the Group’s product and sector, the future quantification of credit risk will depend on potential failed customer transactions and the percentage that may not be insured. The Group expects that in the conditions described the credit risk is less than 1% of ordinary sales to customers who are not group companies or associates.

Commercial credit risk is not associated with any other financial instrument that shares the same characteristics.

This reserve, while it does not exceed the indicated limit, may only be allocated to compensate for losses in the event that there are no other reserves available for this purpose.

At the end of the 2021 year the Legal Reserve is fully allocated.

10.2.2. VOLUNTARY RESERVES

Voluntary reserves are freely available and may be distributed if the value of net equity is not or does not become less than the share capital as a result of the distribution.

The balances of deferred tax assets and liabilities are detailed in Note 14.3.

In the 2021 year the Group recorded deferred tax assets related to deductions for R&D+i projects financed pending application, as well as the effect of the sale of merchandise between Group companies.

Similarly, in the same years the Group recorded a deferred tax liability corresponding to the temporary differences originating from the difference in accounting-tax criteria in recording amortizations, work in progress, prepayments, debtors retentions, grants pending to be allocated to income (Note 20) and the loan received from the CDTI.

 

  14.4.

OTHER INFORMATION

According to current legal provisions, settling tax bills cannot be considered final until they have been inspected by the tax authorities or the 4-year statute of limitations has passed. At year end, Group companies keep all years within the statute of limitations period of the last four years open for inspection (or, if applicable, all years since their incorporation). The Parent Company’s Board of Directors considers that any additional tax liability that could arise as a consequence of an inspection would not have a significant effect on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Adjustments to the Cash Flows for the year included in the Consolidated Cash flow statement for the year ending 31 December 2021:

There are no reconciling items in the statement of consolidated cash flows.

a. Historical goodwill and related amortization

Under ASC 805 Business Combinations, when accounting for a transfer of assets or exchange of shares between entities under common control, the receiving entity recognizes the assets and liabilities transferred at the historical cost of the parent with no step-up in basis or recognition of goodwill. Under Spanish GAAP as applied by STI, such transfers are recorded at fair value with any difference in the net assets acquired recognized as goodwill. In accordance with ASC 805 Business Combinations, the historical goodwill recognized by STI has been reversed.

Under Spanish GAAP, goodwill is subject to amortization on a straight-line basis over 10 years. In accordance with US GAAP, goodwill is not amortized; therefore, the goodwill amortization recognized by STI has been reversed.

b. Leases

In accordance with ASC 842 Leases, which has been adopted as if effective on 1 January 2020 the value of the lease liability and right of use asset related to STI’s operating leases, have been presented on the balance sheet. The current and non-current lease liability recognised as at 31 December 2021 was Euros 364,394 and Euros 523,734 respectively. The right of use asset recognised as at 31 December 2021 was Euros 888,128. Under Spanish GAAP, operating leases are accounted as expenses as incurred and the right of use asset and right of use liability are not shown in the consolidated balance sheet.

c. Grants

Under Spanish GAAP, subsidies are initially recognized in equity, net of tax. The subsidies are recycled to the income statement when the expenses which are being subsidized are recognized. In accordance with US GAAP, the equity balance has been reclassified as a liability on the consolidated balance sheet.

d. Alignment of Presentation - Spanish GAAP to U.S. GAAP

Under Spanish GAAP prepayment to suppliers are recognized in Inventories in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, the prepayments to suppliers were reclassified to Commercial debtors and other accounts receivable. The adjustment has no net impact on profit for the period or current assets.
