Note 21. - Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share have been calculated by dividing the loss attributable to equity holders of the Company by the average number of outstanding shares.

Average number of outstanding diluted shares for the three-month period ended March 31, 2023 have been calculated considering the potential issuance of 3,347,305 shares (3,347,305 shares for the three-month period ended March 31, 2022) on the settlement of the Green Exchangeable Notes (Note 14). It also included the potential issuance of 1,167,185 shares to Algonquin for the three-month period ended March 31, 2022 under the agreement signed on August 3, 2021, according to which Algonquin has the option, on a quarterly basis, to subscribe such number of shares to maintain its percentage in Atlantica in relation to the use of the ATM program (Note 13).
