Electricity revenues increased 14.7% to $89.0 million Company raises revenue guidance for 2013


Ormat Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:ORA) today announced financial results for the third quarter of 2013.

Quarterly financial highlights compared to the same quarter last year:

  • Electricity revenue increased by 14.7% to $89.0 million;
  • Gross margin grew 75 basis points to 30.4%;
  • Operating income reached $29.8 million compared to $12.1 million;
  • Net income attributable to the Company's shareholders was $13.0 million or $0.28 per share (diluted), compared to a net loss of $0.6 million or $0.01 per share (diluted);
  • Adjusted EBITDA grew 25.0% to $60.3 million; and
  • Declared dividend of $0.04 per share

Operational highlights and recent developments:

  • Increased electricity generation by 5.0% to 985,531 MWh, driven by new capacity coming on line at Olkaria III Plant 2 in Kenya, and increased generation at the McGuiness Hills plant;
  • Successfully completed the world's largest binary geothermal plant, the 100 MW Ngatamariki in New Zealand, under a $142.0 million EPC contract;
  • Secured a 10-year Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with the Southern California Public Power Authority to supply power from the Heber 1 geothermal plant in California beginning December 16, 2015. The new PPA replaces the Standard Offer Contract No. 4 (SO#4), which is tied to natural gas prices, with fixed-price contract at a higher rate;
  • Entered into a joint development agreement with eBay to develop a 5 MW recovered energy generation power plant in Utah to supply cleaner electricity to eBay's new data center; and
  • Signed an agreement for a greenfield development of the Hu'u Dompu geothermal prospect in Indonesia

Dita Bronicki, Chief Executive Officer of Ormat, stated: "During the third quarter, we continued to deliver strong financial and operational results. In the electricity segment, we benefitted from the first full quarter of commercial operation of the Olkaria III Plant 2 in Kenya, which helped drive a 5.0% increase in generation. In addition, gross margin increased in the electricity segment to 31.1% due to the contribution of the new plants added to our portfolio in the past two years and to our continued focus on improving operational efficiencies at our existing plants. Looking ahead, we are poised to continue these positive trends and we aim to bring new capacity on line and replace legacy PPAs with more favorable agreements."

"A substantial milestone in the product segment is the completion of the 100MW Ngatamariki geothermal power plant. The completion of the plant in less than 24 months from the award with generation at 104% of its designed output is a further testament to our execution capability and the suitability of our technology to large geothermal facilities. Looking forward, our backlog remains strong as we secured new orders in the third quarter 2013 and stands at approximately $173.0 million with more than $120.0 million expected to be recognized in 2014."

Ms. Bronicki concluded, "We are raising our 2013 guidance and expect total revenue to be between $525.0 million to $535.0 million with electricity segment revenues to be approximately $330.0 million and product segment revenues to be between $195.0 million and $205.0 million."

Reconciliation of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Additional Cash Flows Information
For the Nine and Three-Month Periods Ended September 30, 2013 and 2012
(Unaudited)

We calculate EBITDA as net income before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. We calculate Adjusted EBITDA as net income before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, excluding impairment of long-lived assets and one-time termination fee. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not a measurement of financial performance or liquidity 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 tables reconcile net cash provided by (used in) operating activities and net income to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for the nine and three-month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012:
