Energy sales 9M 2020 revenues are €107.5 million, up by 52% at constant exchange rates, driven by the increase in installed capacity in operation across geographies, reaching 860 MW at the end of September 2020. Growth at current exchange rates is +28%: the global health and economic crisis is leading to a weakening of the Brazilian real against the euro. The average EUR/BRL rate was 5.7 in 9M 2020 compared with 4.4 in 9M 2019. Q3 2020 revenues total €45.4 million. Growth on Q3 2019 reaches 51% at constant exchange rates, driven by increased power production, up by 35% in Q3 2020 compared with Q3 2019, and by 68% compared with Q2 2020 reflecting the usual seasonality. Reported growth stands at 20% after taking into account the 30% depreciation of the Brazilian real against the euro, compared with the same period last year. By country:
Services 9M 2020 revenues (internal and external) are €85.9 million, down 17% at constant exchange rates (-21% at current exchange rates). While internal sales are down in the absence of strongly contributing projects, sales to third-party clients are up 46% compared with 9M 2019, driven by the strong commercial activity since late 2019. Q3 2020 revenues (internal and external) total €36.1 million, increasing by 7% at constant exchange rate (+1% at current exchange rates) compared with Q3 2019:
9M 2020 revenues eliminations stand at €43.4 million and are down by 44% at constant exchange rate (-46% at current exchange rates) compared with 9M 2019. This reflects changes in the activity mix, with an increased share of external sales to third-party clients, notably in Construction. The 20% increase at constant exchange rate (15% at current exchange rates) in Q3 2020 revenues eliminations versus Q3 2019 is driven by higher internal Development sales during this quarter. Recent developments (Since H1 2020 results communication on September 24) A new investor onboards the 152 megawatts VSM 3 wind plant in Brazil In Q3 2020, Voltalia onboarded STOA, a new investor in the VSM 3 wind plant in Brazil. STOA is a top-tier French investment player specialized in infrastructure projects in developing and emerging countries. The plant is now 57% owned by Voltalia, 33% by STOA, and the remaining 10% by a local partner. This partnership is a good illustration of Voltalia's strategy which aims at developing a large volume of competitive projects with the idea of onboarding third-party investors, through long-term partnerships or sales. Voltalia's commercial momentum remains strong in various geographies Energy sales In France, Voltalia and LCL, a leading French bank for small and medium-sized businesses part of the Crédit Agricole Group, launched a unique service which will enable some fifteen of the companies most involved in the energy transition to benefit from contracts that will secure their supply of green electricity over a long period of time, at guaranteed prices. The electricity will come from a 55-megawatt photovoltaic plant located in the South of France which Voltalia will develop and operate. Services Voltalia continues to develop its activities in Africa and is currently in the design phase for a 12 megawatts solar plant in Zimbabwe. Subject to the conclusion of an Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) contract, procurement and construction are expected to begin with current indicated commissioning in the last quarter of 2021. Voltalia is currently building around 60 megawatts for third-party clients, mainly in Portugal, where the total backlog of construction contracts for third-party clients amounts to 300 megawatts. Confirmed short and mid-term ambitions The progression of revenues in Q3 2020 and the commercial momentum are expected to impact positively H2 2020 profitability compared with H1 which enables Voltalia to confirm that it expects its 2020 EBITDA to reach around €100 million (assuming average wind/solar/hydro resource), a 50%+ growth compared with 2019.
