Insights

The Q3 results showcase mixed performance with notable strengths in key areas. Revenue grew 1.8% to $211.8 million, while Adjusted EBITDA increased 16.3% to $137.7 million. The electricity segment, Ormat's core business, demonstrated solid growth with 4.7% revenue increase, driven by Enel asset acquisition and improved Puna plant performance.

However, net income declined 37.7% to $22.1 million, primarily due to a one-time tax benefit in 2023. The company's strategic expansion in energy storage, including the 80MW/320MWh Bottleneck facility and new contracts, positions it well for future growth. The raised EBITDA guidance to $540-555 million signals management's confidence in near-term performance.

The strategic diversification across geothermal and energy storage is proving effective. The successful integration of Enel assets and improved drilling campaigns at Puna and Olkaria demonstrate operational excellence in the core geothermal business. The $165 million product backlog provides revenue visibility.

The energy storage segment's evolution from pure merchant to a balanced portfolio through new long-term contracts reduces revenue volatility. The settlement with the battery supplier addresses supply chain challenges while providing compensation for lost revenues. The company's positioning in data center power supply and decarbonization trends creates substantial growth opportunities.

“Our third quarter financial performance was driven by the strong contribution of our recently acquired Enel assets and the results of two successful drilling campaigns at our Puna and Olkaria power plants. Adjusted EBITDA grew by 16.3% during the quarter, driven by growth across all three of our operating segments. In addition, we generated higher transferred PTCs during the quarter at improved PTC rates. This robust performance enabled us to raise our 2024 annual Adjusted EBITDA guidance, highlighting Ormat’s strong financial results thus far this year and our confidence in our coming quarter.” said Doron Blachar, Chief Executive Officer of Ormat Technologies."

“We continue to make great progress in our strategic efforts to balance our Energy Storage portfolio between contracted and merchant exposure as we focus on delivering consistent stability and improved margins. Our progress is highlighted by the recent commercial operation of our 80MW/320MWh Bottleneck storage project. This key development comes in addition to multiple other contracts signed during the third quarter: an RA (Resource adequacy) agreement with the City of Riverside for our 80MW/320MWh Shirk storage facility and the signing of our first two tolling agreements in Texas for our 60MW/120MWh Lower Rio storage facility and our 60MW/120MWh Bird Dog storage facility. These achievements serve as a testament to our team’s ability to execute across Ormat’s portfolio expansion strategy and to bring profitable projects to fruition.”

Blachar continued, “As we look ahead, we continue to see strong industry tailwinds globally for both Geothermal and Energy Storage that will help accelerate improved profitability. We expect that as electricity demand continues to increase due to global decarbonization efforts, the electrification of the modern economy, as well as the rapid expansion of data centers and computing needs, we will remain well-positioned to capitalize on these trends and convert them into continued returns.”

FINANCIAL AND RECENT BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS

  • Net income attributable to the Company’s stockholders for the third quarter was $22.1 million, compared to $35.5 in the same period last year. Diluted EPS for the third quarter was $0.36, compared with $0.59 in the prior year period. This decrease in net income from the same period last year was mainly driven by a $9.4 million tax income, recorded in the third quarter of 2023 related to changes in Kenya tax laws.
  • Adjusted net income attributable to the Company’s stockholders for the third quarter was $26.3 million, compared to $28.2 million last year. Adjusted EPS was $0.42, compared to $0.47 in the prior year period.
  • Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter was $137.7 million, an increase of 16.3% compared to 2023. The year-over-year increase in Adjusted EBITDA was driven by contribution of the Enel assets we acquired in the first quarter of 2024, the sale of tax benefits from newly built plants, improved performance and pricing of our Puna power plant and a legal settlement with a battery supplier, which we expect to continue to receive over the next 18 months, which reflects the loss of revenues as a result of battery non- supply.
  • Electricity segment revenues increased 4.7% year-over-year. Third quarter revenue growth was driven by the contribution of our acquired Enel assets and higher generation and pricing at Puna. The increase was partially offset by the partial outage at our Dixie Valley power plant, which is currently in the startup phase following an unplanned outage. The decrease in the Electricity segment gross margin was mainly impacted by higher depreciation related to the acquired Enel assets.
  • Product segment revenues decreased 6.2% due to the timing of revenue recognition during the third quarter.
  • Product segment backlog stands at approximately $165.0 million as of November 5, 2024, and includes approximately $33.0 million in new contracts signed during the third quarter.
  • Energy Storage segment revenues decreased 11.1% year-over-year, due to higher energy rates realized in ERCOT during the previous year as the result of an inclement weather event.
  • G&A expenses increased mainly due to one-time consulting fees of $4.8 million related to a settlement agreement with a third-party battery systems supplier.
  • Other operating income was $6.3 million recorded in the third quarter 2024 and represents the non-refundable portion of the recovery of damages received from a third-party battery systems supplier as part of a settlement agreement entered into in August 2024, which reflects the impact associated with lost revenues due to delays caused by batteries that were not supplied.        

IN ADDITION, SINCE THE END OF THE SECOND QUARTER, THE COMPANY:

  • Announced the successful commencement of commercial operations at the 80MW/320MWh Bottleneck Energy Storage facility in the Central Valley of California. The Bottleneck facility is the Company’s largest energy storage facility.
  • Secured a 15-year RA agreement with the City of Riverside for the Shirk Energy Storage facility, which includes a guaranteed COD for March 1, 2026.
  • Signed the first tolling agreements in Texas for two 60MW/120MWh Energy Storage Facilities. The agreements secure fixed, long-term revenues, and de-risked Ormat’s Texas storage portfolio by approximately 50%, aligning with the Company’s long-term plan to improve segment profitability and accelerate growth.
  • Secured land parcels in Nevada’s BLM auction to further advance geothermal development in the state.

2024 GUIDANCE

  • Total revenues of between $875 million and $893 million.
  • Electricity segment revenues between $710 million and $715 million.
  • Product segment revenues of between $130 million and $138 million.
  • Energy Storage revenues of between $35 million and $40 million.
  • Adjusted EBITDA to be between $540 million and $555 million.
    • Adjusted EBITDA attributable to minority interest of approximately $20 million.

The Company provides a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024. However, the Company does not provide guidance on net income and is unable to provide a reconciliation for its Adjusted EBITDA guidance range to net income without unreasonable efforts due to high variability and complexity with respect to estimating certain forward-looking amounts. These include impairments and disposition and acquisition of business interests, income tax expense, and other non-cash expenses and adjusting items that are excluded from the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA.

DIVIDEND

On November 6, 2024, the Company’s Board of Directors declared, approved, and authorized payment of a quarterly dividend of $0.12 per share pursuant to the Company’s dividend policy. The dividend will be paid on December 4, 2024, to stockholders of record as of the close of business on November 20, 2024.

Reconciliation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
For the Three- and Nine-Month Periods Ended September 30, 2024, and 2023

We calculate EBITDA as net income before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and accretion. We calculate Adjusted EBITDA as net income before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and accretion, adjusted for (i) mark-to-market gains or losses from accounting for derivatives not designated as hedging instruments; (ii) stock-based compensation, (iii) merger and acquisition transaction costs; (iv) gain or loss from extinguishment of liabilities; (v) cost related to a settlement agreement; (vi) non-cash impairment charges; (vii) write-off of unsuccessful exploration activities; and (viii) other unusual or non-recurring items. We adjust for these factors as they may be non-cash, unusual in nature and/or are not factors used by management for evaluating operating performance. We believe that presentation of these measures will enhance an investor’s ability to evaluate our financial and operating performance. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not measurements of financial performance or liquidity under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or U.S. GAAP, and should not be considered as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities or as a measure of liquidity or an alternative to net earnings as indicators of our operating performance or any other measures of performance derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Our Board of Directors and senior management use EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate our financial performance. However, other companies in our industry may calculate EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do.

The following table reconciles net income to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for the three-and-nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024, and 2023:
