EDP Renovaveis IPO, June 2008 – case study
 Background
 EDP Renováveis was 100% owned by EDP Group. In Q1 2008, EDP indicated that it was considering the possibility of
 an IPO by way of a capital increase that would result in a free float of 20% - 25% of EDP Renováveis’s share capital.

 Objectives and key messages
 Position EDPR as a high quality business with low risk exposure to global renewable energy growth and a resilient long-
 term outlook:
      –   EDPR is the only major pure renewables player vs. its peers IBER, FPL, Acciona etc
      –   Proven capability to execute projects and deliver targets
      –   Diversified operations with stable revenue base
      –   Powerful growth platform - strong exposure to US industry growth story
      –   Profitable
      –   Increasing momentum in growth and profitability into 2008
      –   Synergetic relationship with EDP reinforces efficiency, underpins strategy and ensures majority and minority interests fully aligned


 Approach
 Communications focused on the unique strength of EDPR’s growth story and its differentiation from peers (Iberdrola,
 EDF green units etc) as a basis for securing endorsement of the valuation story by key commentators Lex and
 breakingviews.

 Outcome
 EDP Renováveis successfully started trading on Eurolist by Euronext Lisbon on Wednesday 4 June 2008, at an offer
 price of €8 per share, with an offer value of €1.8 billion including the Over-Allotment Option. The institutional offer was
 6.1 times subscribed and the Portuguese retail offer nearly 90 times subscribed.

 The second largest EMEA IPO in 2008 (after NWR) and the biggest ever debut by a company listing in Lisbon. A major
 achievement against prevailing volatile market conditions.
EDP Renovaveis IPO, June 2008

Background

networks as well as public buildings. The company also provides waste collection, management and recycling services for
20 UK local authorities.


Objectives

    clients looking for long term financial stability from their chosen service provider


Issues
May Gurney until recently had been a small provincial construction firm but was now looking for national scale and
to change into a serious investment proposition by expanding into site maintenance and waste management


Recommendations
Citigate implemented a campaign to raise media profile and attract sell-side analyst interest. Communications emphasized
the quality and 80 year history of the business as well as the experience of the management


Outcome
May Gurney successfully raised £44.1 million at a price of 186p per share in June 2006, giving the Company a
market capitalisation of £130.6 million on Admission

  • 12. EDP Renovaveis IPO, June 2008 – case study Background EDP Renováveis was 100% owned by EDP Group. In Q1 2008, EDP indicated that it was considering the possibility of an IPO by way of a capital increase that would result in a free float of 20% - 25% of EDP Renováveis’s share capital. Objectives and key messages Position EDPR as a high quality business with low risk exposure to global renewable energy growth and a resilient long- term outlook: – EDPR is the only major pure renewables player vs. its peers IBER, FPL, Acciona etc – Proven capability to execute projects and deliver targets – Diversified operations with stable revenue base – Powerful growth platform - strong exposure to US industry growth story – Profitable – Increasing momentum in growth and profitability into 2008 – Synergetic relationship with EDP reinforces efficiency, underpins strategy and ensures majority and minority interests fully aligned Approach Communications focused on the unique strength of EDPR’s growth story and its differentiation from peers (Iberdrola, EDF green units etc) as a basis for securing endorsement of the valuation story by key commentators Lex and breakingviews. Outcome EDP Renováveis successfully started trading on Eurolist by Euronext Lisbon on Wednesday 4 June 2008, at an offer price of €8 per share, with an offer value of €1.8 billion including the Over-Allotment Option. The institutional offer was 6.1 times subscribed and the Portuguese retail offer nearly 90 times subscribed. The second largest EMEA IPO in 2008 (after NWR) and the biggest ever debut by a company listing in Lisbon. A major achievement against prevailing volatile market conditions.
