Da war ich wohl zu voreilig, denn ich sehe gerade, dass es die Seite auch auf Englisch gibt:

http://www.iberdrola.es/webibd/corporativa/iberdrola?IDPAG=E…

Die Bezugsrechte sind also eine handelbare Dividende, die zum Bezug von 1/30 Iberdrola-Aktien berechtigt?

Ich hatte vor einiger Zeit ein Auge auf Iberdrola geworfen, und seitdem auf einen günstigeren Einstiegskurs gewartet. Dieser schien mir nun heute gekommen zu sein, doch dann mußte ich festellen, dass scheinbar gerade eine Kapitalmaßname läuft.

http://www.iberdrola.es/webibd/corporativa/iberdrola?IDPAG=E…

Leider reicht mein Spanisch nicht, um das alles vollständig zu erfassen. Kann mir da jemand behilflich sein, bzw. ist hier schon jemand investiert, der mir da Details nennen kann?

Scheinbar findet ja unter der WKN A1W1K0 seit heute ein Bezugsrechtehandel statt?

Danke.

IBERDROLA CHAIRMAN AND PRESIDENT OF GALICIA INAUGURATE SANTO ESTEVO II HYDRO POWER PLANT IN SPAIN



Galicia’s largest hydroelectric power plant began commercial operation two months ago
During his speech, Ignacio Galan, reiterated Iberdrola’s commitment to the industrial development of Galicia, where the Group has invested over €1.1 billion in the past ten years
Galicia’s largest hydroelectric power complex has an estimated annual production of 1,000 gigawatts/hour (GWh), enough clean power to meet average energy demand of approximately 285,000 homes


IBERDROLA chairman, Ignacio Galan, and the head of Galicia’s regional government, Alberto Nuñez Feijoo, today unveiled a plaque to commemorate the commissioning of Santo Estevo II, a new hydroelectric power plant built in the Sil river basin, close to the village of Nogueira de Ramuin (Ourense).

During the event Galan highlighted the Group’s commitment to the region of Galicia, where the company has invested over €1.1 billion and made purchases of €1.2 billion from more than 200 local providers in the past ten years alone.

“It is our intention to continue supporting Galicia as we have until now, actively supporting local manufacturers and service providers and being an engine for growth” said Galan who announced completion of San Pedro power plant extension, downstream from Santo Estevo, for 2016.

IBERDROLA chairman also emphasised the importance of hydroelectric power since plants can provide power on demand whilst balancing loads from wind energy and other variable generation technologies.

Also in attendance were Galicia’s Secretary of Energy and Industry, Francisco Conde, the Secretary of Environment and Infrastructure, Agustin Hernandez, the Director General of Nature Conservation, Ricardo Garcia-Borregon and the Spanish Government representative in Galicia, Samuel Juarez.

From IBERDROLA, the event was also attended by the Group’s Corporate Resources Director, Fernando Becker and the Director of Liberalised Business for Continental Europe, Baldomero Navalon.

The new Santo Estevo II facility optimizes existing infrastructures: dam, reservoir, substation and export power lines, with a capacity of 176.9 megawatts (MW). To minimize environmental impact, the new powerhouse has been built underground, one of the most important engineering feats in the region’s recent history.

Thus, Galicia’s largest hydroelectric power complex has been created with 441 MW total installed capacity and estimated annual production of 1,000 gigawatts/hour (GWh), enough clean power to meet average energy demand of approximately 285,000 homes.

During the first quarter, while the plant was undergoing tests – commercial operation began on 27 February – the plant has produced 200 GWh, equivalent to the average consumption of 57,000 homes over a year.

This new facility has already met some of the first goals its construction set to achieve: sluice control and balancing flows downstream and optimizing exploitation of an indigenous, renewable energy source. Thus, the plant has saved more than 80 cubic hectometres by regulating water flows.

Work at Santo Estevo II begun in September 2008 and was completed at the end of 2012, strictly meeting its construction schedule. In those four years, IBERDROLA invested €127 million and created more than 300 jobs in the region, with 60% of all recruits being Galician or residents in Galicia.

IBERDROLA BOARD OF DIRECTORS APPROVES SHARE CAPITAL REDUCTION OF 2.4%



Having met the objective set for the share repurchase plan
The Company will amortize 150.74 million treasury stock shares, bringing total capital to 6,130.43 million shares
The Board has also established the schedule of the new edition of the 'Iberdrola Flexible Dividend' plan, corresponding to the final dividend payment against the Company´s 2012 results


IBERDROLA Board of Directors, meeting today, has approved a share capital reduction of 2.4%, according to the proposal validated by the General Shareholders’ Meeting held on March 22 in Bilbao.

The share capital reduction will be carried out through the amortization of treasury stock and a share repurchase plan for subsequent amortization.

Through the implementation of its share repurchase plan over the last few weeks, the Company has acquired in the market 68.48 million shares, representing 1.09% of share capital. This amount is sufficient to meet commitments to the Group's employee stock options plan and meet the programme’s objective.

In this regard, IBERDROLA has reduced its share capital by €113.06 million, via amortization of 150.74 million treasury stock shares, with total share capital standing at €4,597.82 million represented by 6,130.43 million shares.

Calendar for the seventh edition of Iberdrola Flexible Dividend plan

In addition to implementing the share capital reduction, the Board of Directors also approved, today, the calendar for the new edition of the Iberdrola Flexible Dividend plan, corresponding to the final dividend payment against 2012 results.

In the seventh edition of the scrip dividend plan, whereby shareholders can opt between receiving the dividend in cash and obtaining company shares at no cost, IBERDROLA will offer shareholders a dividend of at least €0.157 gross per share, confirming the announcement made in April.

Taking into account the interim dividend paid out in January (€0.143 per subscription right), in the sixth edition of Iberdrola Flexible Dividend plan, total shareholder remuneration will be thus maintained around €0.30 per share.

The final calendar for the latest edition of Iberdrola Flexible Dividend plan is as follows:


1 July 2013: announcement of the number of free allocation rights required to obtain one new company share and the guaranteed fixed purchase price for subscription rights that IBERDROLA would commit to.
2 July 2013: publication of the capital increase execution in the Boletín Oficial del Registro Mercantil. It is also the reference date for assigning free allocation rights.
3 July 2013: trading in subscription rights starts and timetable begins for shareholders to request payment in cash, in line with the purchase commitment made by IBERDROLA.
12 July 2013: last day to request payment in cash through the sale of rights to IBERDROLA at a fixed guaranteed price.
17 July 2013: end of rights trading period. IBERDROLA buys free subscription rights from shareholders that opt for cash payment.
22 July 2013: payment of the price of free subscription rights acquired by IBERDROLA under its purchase commitment.
25 July 2013: assignment of registries to shares to be issued in relation to the capital increase.
26 July 2013: new IBERDROLA shares issued as a result of the capital increase start trading.

IBERDROLA COMPLETES GEOTECHNICAL STUDIES FOR ITS WIKINGER OFFSHORE WIND FARM IN GERMANY

This work represents a key milestone to obtain project certification and planning consent from the regulator BSH
The €20 million geotechnical feasibility campaign was conducted on the site of the offshore wind project
The findings will be used to define the dimensions and design of turbine foundations and will determine the wind farm installation method
The development of Wikinger offshore wind project is progressing quickly, with construction scheduled to begin in 2015 and full commissioning in 2017
Key geotechnical feasibility studies on the site of Wikinger offshore wind farm have been successfully concluded, with a total cost of €20 million.
The studies comprised a full geological survey of the seabed in an area of some 34 square kilometres. Also, stratigraphic samples of sedimentary and metamorphic rocks were drilled out and seismic surveys using sound waves to determine the structure of the terrain were carried out.
These works represent a key milestone to achieve project consents for construction works by the regulator Bundesamt für Seeschifffahrt und Hydrographie (BSH). The findings will be used to define dimensions and design of turbine foundations and will confirm the method of installation of the wind farm, including cabling and electrical substation.
Wikinger is a 400-megawatt (MW) wind farm in the Baltic Sea, some 35 kilometres off the coast of the German Island of Rügen. With an investment of €1.5 billion, the project will generate €650 million in local and regional taxes through a 20 year period and will create some 2,000 direct and indirect jobs. Once in operation, the wind farm will produce electricity equivalent to the consumption of more than 350,000 German households and would avoid the emission of almost 600,000 tons of CO2/year.
Development of the Wikinger offshore wind project is progressing quickly, with construction scheduled to begin in late 2015 and commissioning in early 2017, in order to qualify to the current feed-in-tariff system. To achieve this, in November 2012, a preferred turbine supplier agreement was signed between IBERDROLA and Areva Wind, with production centre in Bremerhaven.
IBERDROLA has already launched the tender process for the procurement and installation of foundations, inter-array cable and the main components of the wind farm substation, totaling some €900 million. Also, progress is being made on the port selection for pre-assembly and transportation of components and wind turbines to the site, and an announcement is expected in the coming weeks.
If everything goes according to plan, including grid connection being secured by 2016 or early 2017 and the applicable feed-in tariff being confirmed, final investment decision on the project will be made towards the end of 2013 and the first procurement contracts should be awarded in early 2014. In this respect, IBERDROLA welcomes investor reassurances expressed by senior German authorities about the need for long term stability of the regulatory framework. Nevertheless, grid connection availability, a stable tariff mechanism and an agile consenting process are essential to avoid unnecessary costs and risks and meet investors’ expectations.
IBERDROLA’s offshore wind project pipeline in Germany stands at over 2,000 MW. By the end of 2013, over €70 million will be invested in the development of Wikinger alone, and by 2019 the company could invest over €3 billion in offshore wind projects in the German Baltic Sea, to install 1,000 MW

IBERDROLA RECORDS FIRST QUARTER EARNINGS OF € 878.6 MILLION

Comparison with the same period last year is affected by higher taxation on generation in Spain and temporary additional energy costs in Brazil, among other factors
Renewables and generation and supply drive a 5.5% rise in gross margin to €3,573 million
Group efficiency improved by 4.6%; Ebitda was 3.7% lower at €2,279 million, with 72% from regulated businesses
For the first time, levies paid by the Company (€464 million) exceeded personnel costs (€434 million), particularly in the UK and Spain where they were 30% higher
Net debt was reduced by €2 billion and gearing to 44.5%
Continued progress in meeting parameters in the 2012-2014 Outlook: non-strategic asset sales came to €1.1 billion, most of which will be received in the second quarter
Liquidity exceeded €12.2 billion, enough to cover financing needs for more than 3 years
The company sees net profit ending the year at levels similar to 2012 and shareholder remuneration policy maintained, with the expected offsetting of some of the negative impacts incurred in the first quarter
| Event connection through webcast |
IBERDROLA net earnings came to €878.6 million in the first quarter of 2013, a decline of 14.1%, while Ebitda was down 3.7% at €2,278.8 million. Regulated businesses accounted for 72% of total Ebitda. These results were conditioned by a series of temporary factors that distort comparison with the same period last year some of which will be offset in 2013 and 2014.
Specifically, these factors included additional energy costs in Brazil as a result of the prolonged drought there, the cost of energy efficiency programmes in the UK and the difference between a 1 percentage point reduction in corporate tax rates in this country in the first quarter of 2012 with a compensating effect from expected from a further cut in the second half of 2013. Discounting these factors, Group Ebitda would have risen 0.6% in the quarter, while net profit would have increased 2.8%.
Gross margin rose 5.5% to €3,573.1 million, driven by strong performance in renewables which rose 20.1% and in generation and supply which was up 11.1%. This offset poorer results in networks which declined 5.8%, mostly affected by the situation in Brazil. Operating efficiency improved 4.6%, with a decline in net operating costs against gross margin to 24.7% from 25.9%.
However, good business performance has been offset by increased taxes in the first quarter. For the first time, levies totalling €464 million (excluding court resolutions in Spain during the period favourable to the company), exceeded personnel costs of €434 million in the quarter. In particular, these levies exceed net personnel costs by more than 30% in Spain and the UK. In Spain, new tax levels approved by the Government in the final quarter of 2012 came to €122 million, including taxes on generation, levies on hydro and the nuclear tax.
At the same time, a positive impact from the reimbursement of €52 million in eco-taxes in Castilla- La Mancha during the first quarter was less than the €100 million positive impact of a Supreme Court decision regarding the financing of a fuel poverty scheme in Spain (bono social).
Elsewhere, operating cash flow stood at €1,732 million at the end of the first quarter, down 4.8%. In all businesses, operating cash flow exceeded investments executed in the period totalling €630 million: this comprised came to €414 million in networks, €42 million in generation and supply and €146.3 million in renewable and the rest in other business areas.
Progress in achieving parameters of 2012 – 2014 Outlook
In the first quarter, IBERDROLA progressed further in meeting the parameters of its 2012-2014 Outlook, as well as continuing to strengthen its balance sheet. Adjusted net Group debt at the end of March stood at €27.79 billion, excluding €1,918 million outstanding in reimbursement due from the tariff deficit. Including the deficit, the debt stood at €29.71 billion.
Compared to the same period last year, debt has already been reduced by around €2 billion, in line with the Group’s objective of cutting debt by €6 billion.
IBERDROLA has moved ahead with its non-strategic asset divestment plan, with sales to date of €1.1 billion, most of which will be disbursed in the second quarter of this year. Securitization of the tariff deficit carried out by government agency Fade since January2012 amounts to €2.8 billion, plus an additional €432 million corresponding to IBERDROLA from a new Fade issue on April 23.
As a result, gearing was reduced to 46.1%, including the tariff deficit, from 48.5% at the end of the same period last year. Excluding the deficit, this stood at 44.5% against 46.9%. This progress enabled the Company to improve financial ratios: the ratio of funds from financial operations to net debt standing at 20.6% and that of retained cash flow to net debt at 17.6%, also including the tariff deficit.
Key operating aspects of first quarter 2013
1. Networks business: peor comportamiento en Brasil
Ebitda from networks businesses came to €1,005.9 million, a decline of 6.1%. Efficiency gains, a broader asset base in the UK and higher contribution from the US as a result of higher revenues, including the Maine transmission line project, partially compensated performance in Brazil where Ebitda fell 51.6% against a 10.7% rise in other geographical areas.
In Brazil, despite a 5.4% increase in demand, a reduction in tariffs had a €39 million impact in the first quarter. Business there was also affected by additional costs relating to drought conditions which had a negative impact of €68 million and which will be recovered in the second half of 2013 and in 2014, as well as a 16% depreciation of the Brazilian real.
In the UK, the Group is adjusting the accounting value of its assets to meet new regulatory requirements in this country, resulting in a €17 million increase in operating costs.
2. Generation and Supply: taxes increase by 330%
This area recorded Ebitda of €749.7 million in the first three months, a decline of 9.5%. Higher production and a broader customer base in the UK helped offset the increase in taxes. Compared to the same period last year, levies on these businesses rose 330.4% to €252.1 million.
In Spain, a 6.6% fall in production was compensated by lower costs resulting from good hydro yields. Production was also lower in the UK (-15.4%) mainly due to the closure of the Cockenzie plant. Sales nevertheless increased as a result of a 7.3% higher customer base, lower temperatures and higher tariffs to reflect a rise in non-energy costs.
3. Renewables: ebitda rose 20.8%
Improved efficiency and good wind yields in the first quarter saw Ebitda rise 20.8% over the same period last year to €533.3 million. Wind production rose 16.7% to 9,877 gigawatt hours (GWh), while net operating costs against average production was reduced by 5.9%.
This solid operating performance enabled the Group to offset the negative effects of higher taxation and new regulatory measures. During the first quarter, levies applied to the renewables business rose 158.7% to €50.1 million. The new 7% tax on generation in Spain had a negative impact in this business of €26 million.
The new regulated tariff applied in Spanish wind farms as a consequence of Royal Decree Law 2/2013 translated into a 5.3% drop in final prices, equivalent to €13 million less.
IBERDROLA prospects for 2013
Progress towards meeting parameters set in the 2012-2014 Outlook, and the offsetting of some of the negative factors in the first quarter is expected to enable the Company to meet a series of projections for 2013, among them that of maintaining net profit at levels similar to 2012.
IBERDROLA also expects to maintain its policy of shareholder remuneration of around €0.3 per shares until the 2014 financial year, subject to approval by the AGM.
IBERDROLA’s liquidity position remained comfortable, standing at €12,261 million at the end of March, enough to meet financing needs for more than three years.

DJ Iberdrola verdient wegen geringerer Stromnachfrage weniger


Von David Roman

MADRID--Belastet von einer niedrigeren Stromnachfrage und höheren Steuern hat der spanische Versorger Iberdrola zum Jahresauftakt deutlich weniger verdient. Das Nettoergebnis sank um 14 Prozent auf 878,6 Millionen Euro. Im Vorjahr lag der Gewinn von Iberdrola noch über der Milliardengrenze. Analysten hatten allerdings mit einem Gewinnrückgang in dieser Größenordnung gerechnet.

Die Stromerzeugung sank in den drei Monaten um 5,6 Prozent, teilte das größte Unternehmen der Branche in Spanien mit. Am Heimatmarkt lag es allerdings nicht, hier kletterte die Erzeugung um 5,3 Prozent. Für ein Land, in dem die Wirtschaft am Boden liegt, ist das ein ungewöhnlich hoher Wert.

Besonders schlecht lief es für den Konzern aus Bilbao dagegen in Großbritannien. Hier sank die Erzeugung deutlich um 15,4 Prozent. Auch in den USA und in Lateinamerika ging es abwärts.
