Q1 net income increased 45.2% to $14.5 million; Q1 total revenues
increased 44.0% to $99.9 million with record Products Segment
revenues of $37.3 million. RENO, Nev., May 11
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Ormat Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:ORA) today
announced financial results for the first quarter 2009. (Logo:
http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20040422/LATH066LOGO ) For the
three month period ended March 31, 2009, total revenues were $99.9
million, an increase of 44.0% from $69.4 million in the first
quarter of 2008, consisting of a $3.1 million increase in revenues
from the Electricity Segment, and a $27.4 million increase in
revenues from the Products Segment. For the quarter, the Company
reported net income of $14.5 million or $0.32 per share (basic and
diluted), as compared to net income of $10.0 million, or $0.24 per
share (basic and diluted), for the same period a year ago. The
increase in net income is primarily attributable to an increase in
sales within the Products Segment primarily derived from EPC
contracts for the construction of two large geothermal projects and
additional energy generated year-over-year in our Electricity
Segment. Commenting on the quarter's results, Dita Bronicki, Chief
Executive Officer of Ormat, stated: "Growth continued during the
quarter with improvements in both our revenues and net income.
Revenue from our Products Segment accounted for a significant
portion of this quarter's growth. Revenues from our Products
Segment are expected to continue to grow throughout the year with
an expected increase of 20% to 30% compared to last year. An
increase in generation in our Electricity Segment compared to last
year also contributed to our record results but its impact was not
fully reflected, primarily because of lower energy rates at our
Puna facility, the only facility which is sensitive to oil prices.
While North Brawley has not yet reached commercial operation, the
35 MW expansion of our Olkaria III power plant in Kenya, is
operating as planned. "In March 2009, we received the first $90.0
million out of a $105 million project financing loan for the
Olkaria III power plants. This additional capital, when combined
with operating cash flow and $241.1 million of unutilized secured
lines of credit with banks, will fund our growth plans that are
expected to add 72 MW to 84 MW over the next two years, and to
include approximately $30 million for exploration in 2009 alone, to
support projects beyond 2010." Electricity revenues for the first
quarter of 2009 were $62.6 million, an increase of 5.2% as compared
to $59.5 million in the first quarter of 2008. The increase in
electricity revenues is primarily attributable to a net increase in
the U.S. and international generation to 889,693 MWh for the
quarter, up from 732,266 MWh in the same period of 2008, an
increase of 21.5%. Revenues, however, increased at a lower
percentage due to the decline in the energy rate in Puna and the
expiration of the "adder" payment in Heber 1. Revenues from the
Products Segment for the three-month period ended March 31, 2009
were $37.3 million, compared to $9.9 million in 2008. The increase
in the Products Segment revenues was primarily derived from EPC
contracts for the construction of two large geothermal projects.
Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter of 2009 was $35.9 million, as
compared to $27.5 million in the same quarter last year. Adjusted
EBITDA includes operating income and depreciation and amortization
totaling $1.5 million for each of the quarters ended March 31, 2009
and 2008 related to the Company's unconsolidated investment
interest of 50% in the Mammoth complex in California. The
reconciliation of GAAP net income to Adjusted EBITDA is set forth
below in this release. Cash and cash equivalents as of March 31,
2009 increased to $42.7 million from $34.4 million as of December
31, 2008. In addition, we have unutilized committed bank lines of
credits aggregating $241.1 million. On May 8, 2009, Ormat's Board
of Directors approved the payment of a quarterly cash dividend of
$0.06 per share pursuant to the Company's dividend policy, which
targets an annual payout ratio of at least 20% of the Company's net
income. The dividend will be paid on May 27, 2009 to shareholders
of record as of the close of business on May 20, 2009. The Company
expects to pay a dividend of $0.06 per share in the next two
quarters. Commenting on the outlook for 2009, Ms. Bronicki said,
"With regard to our Electricity Segment, due to the delays in the
commercial operation of North Brawley we expect electricity
revenues for 2009 to be between $265 million and $275 million. We
also expect additional revenues of approximately $9 million from
our share of electricity revenues generated by the Mammoth complex,
the investment in which is accounted for under the equity method.
With respect to our Products Segment, we currently expect that our
2009 revenue will be between $110 million and $120 million." Ms.
Bronicki concluded, "These excellent results reflect the strong
fundamentals of our development and enhancement activities as well
as customer support for our proven technology. Our already strong
capital base positions us well for the future as we continue to
invest in our growth." Conference Call Details Ormat will host a

Reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA (Unaudited) We calculate EBITDA
as net income before interest, taxes, depreciation and
amortization, equity income of investees and other non-operating
expense (income). We calculate adjusted EBITDA to include operating
income, depreciation and amortization, interest and taxes
attributable to our equity investments in the Mammoth complex.
EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are not measurements of financial
performance under accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are presented
because we believe they are frequently used by securities analysts,
investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of a
Company's ability to service and/or incur debt. 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-month periods ended
