4Q’09 revenues increased by 2% when compared with the same period of previous year (US$ 94.8 MM Vs. US$ 92.6 MM). This positive variance is essentially driven by a 8.7% increase in the average energy sales price for the period (4Q’09 US$165.8/MWh vs 4Q’08 US$152.5/MWh) as a result of the increase in Fuel Oil prices, which is the main escalator of our PPAs’ pricing formula, and higher demand (4Q’09 506.6 GWh vs 4Q’08 496.0 GWh).

During 4Q’09 operating expenses were lower than 4Q’08 comparative figures by 9% (US$84.7 MM Vs. US$92.6 MM). The positive variance is the result of: General and administrative expenses: 48% or US$7.7 MM decrease mainly due to i) lower allowance for doubtful accounts expense by US$3.0 MM; ii) lower minimum taxes provision (asset tax) by US$1.1 MM; iii) US$3.8 MM lower withholding tax during 4Q’09 since it was presented during 2008 as a part of other income and reclassified in December ’08 as G&A expenses; iv) partially offset by US$0.2 MM other minor negative variances. Purchased power: 31% or US$8.3 MM decrease is mainly the result of lower spot energy purchases (4Q’09 102.9 GWh vs 4Q’08 109.4 GWh) as a result of an increase in generation, partially offset by a negative average price effect for the period (4Q’09 US$183.2/MWh vs 4Q’08 US$96.6/MWh). Partially offset by 10% or US$3.9 MM increase in fuel costs, as a result of higher fuel consumption (4Q’09 480.2 thousand of BBLS vs 4Q’08 376.5 thousand of BBLS) due to higher energy generation; partially offset by a negative average price effect for the period (4Q’09 US$73.9 per BBLS vs 4Q’08 US$61.1 per BBLS). Operation and maintenance expenses: 16% or US$1.2 MM increase when compared to 4Q’08 mainly as a consequence of the maintenance performed to the Barahona Plant and Puerto Plata #2 during 4Q’09.

Quarterly Financial Report December 31st, 2009
Net Income Net income was US$4.8 MM in the 4Q’09, compared to a net loss of US$2.6 MM in the same period of prior year. The positive variance of US$7.4 MM is explained by: Higher EBITDA by US$11.7 MM as explained in the above paragraphs. US$2.0 MM lower financial expenses net, mainly due to lower interest expenses paid to generators during the period. US$0.4 MM lower income tax. The abovementioned variations are partially offset by lower other income net by US$4.5 MM. This variation is mainly the result of: i) lower withholding taxes on management fees and interest by US$5.1 MM, since these were presented as part of other expenses in 4Q 2008 while in 2009 are being booked in G&A expenses and interest expenses, respectively; ii) US$0.2 MM of higher other income; partially offset by an US$0.8 MM gain as a result of the repurchase of 144-A Senior Notes . US$1.7 higher depreciation expense. US$0.5 higher foreign exchange loss.
Cash Flow Cash provided by operating activities Net cash provided by operating activities was US$1.0 MM during the 4Q’09, compared to US$10.6 MM in the same period of 2008. The US$9.5 MM negative variation is explained by: a) US$60.8 MM decrease in accounts payable; b) US$4.0 MM increase in other assets; c) US$3.5 MM increase in prepaid expenses; d) US$5.3 MM of higher negative adjustments reconciling net income to the net cash provided in operating activities; e) US$1.9 MM decrease in payable to related parties; partially offset by i) US$49.2 MM lower accounts receivable; ii) US$7.4 MM higher net income; iii) US$6.4 MM lower inventories and iv)US$3.0 MM increase in other liabilities. Cash provided by (used in) investing activities Net cash provided by investing activities was US$18.5 MM during the 4Q’09, compared to US$8.4 MM used in the same period of the prior year. The US$26.9 MM increase is the net result of: a) US$27.6 MM higher payments received on long-term investments due to the sale of dominican sovereign bonds; b) US$3.3 MM lower restricted cash; c) US$7.7 MM lower long term; partially offset by i) US$4.4 MM higher long-term investments; ii) US$ 6.2 MM higher additions to property, plant and equipment and iii) US$1.1 MM higher short term investments. Cash used in financing activities Net cash used in financing activities was US$0.3 MM in the 4Q’09, compared to US$22.0 MM in the same period of prior year for a variance of US$21.6 MM. Such variance is the result of: a) US$20 MM dividend paid during 4Q’08; b) US$7.5 MM repayment of the debt with Banco de Reservas; c) US$4.9 MM repurchase of the 144-A Senior Notes; d)US$1.2 MM repayment of debt during 4Q’08; partially offset by US$12.0 MM higher long-term debt due to the placement of the fourth and fifth tranches of the local bond during 4Q’09.
