EXPANDED PORTFOLIO AND FAVORABLE OBBB POLICY SUPPORT LONG TERM GROWTH TARGETS

HIGHLIGHTS

• NET INCOME AND ADJUSTED EBITDA GROWTH OF 26.1% AND 6.7%, RESPECTIVELY
• SUCCESSFUL COMPLETION OF 20MW BLUE MOUNTAIN GEOTHERMAL POWER PLANT ACQUISITION
• SECURED $300 MILLION IN FUNDING TO SUPPORT FUTURE DEVELOPMENT
• COMPANY REITERATES ITS FULL YEAR REVENUE AND ADJUSTED EBITDA GUIDANCE

RENO, Nev., Aug. 06, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ormat Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: ORA) (the “Company” or “Ormat”), a leading renewable energy company, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025.

KEY FINANCIAL RESULTS

“Ormat reported record second quarter Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA results, with an increase of 9.9% in revenue, a 26.1% rise in net income, and a 6.7% improvement in adjusted EBITDA” said Doron Blachar, Chief Executive Officer of Ormat Technologies. “This performance was driven by the continued recovery of our Product segment revenue and margin as well as improved performance in our Energy Storage segment, which continues to benefit from new projects that reached commercial operation in 2024 and higher merchant prices, specifically in the PJM market. Planned well field work at our Puna Power plant, along with planned third-party curtailments in the U.S., negatively impacted our Electricity segment’s revenue and EBITDA by approximately $13 million and $12 million, respectively. We anticipate that these curtailments will lessen during the second half of 2025.”

“Over the past few months, we completed the acquisition of the 20MW Blue Mountain geothermal power plant and released for construction 50 MW of new projects, including 28 MW of geothermal and 22 MW of solar projects mainly at our Heber complex, while continuing to advance our geothermal development pipeline and benefiting from accelerated permit approvals due to recent federal permitting reforms. Since the end of the first quarter, we secured $300 million of funding for future project development, with $139 million related to tax equity proceeds at our geothermal and storage assets, and the remaining $161 million related to project finance at attractive rates. We expect to receive most of the cash proceeds in the second half of the year.

Blachar continued, “This is an exciting time for Ormat, and we foresee strong growth for our geothermal and storage business in 2025 and beyond, driven by favorable regulatory developments, increased exploration activity, rising demand for baseload renewable energy, and higher PPA pricing. Recent policy support for both geothermal and energy storage, coupled with the accelerating demand for carbon-free baseload power driven in part by the energy needs of AI data centers, highlight our critical role in the energy transition. This momentum bolsters our confidence in achieving our long-term targets. As we look ahead, we remain committed to delivering reliable, sustainable energy solutions while working to leverage our expertise to drive meaningful growth and long-term value for our shareholders.”

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

• Net income attributable to the Company’s stockholders for the second quarter was $28.0 million, an increase of 26.1% compared to last year. Diluted EPS for the second quarter was $0.46, an increase of 24.3%, compared to the prior year period. This increase is mainly driven by better performance of our Product and Energy Storage segments and tax benefits related to the storage facilities that are expected to commence commercial operation during 2025.
• Adjusted net income attributable to the Company's stockholders and Adjusted diluted EPS for the second quarter increased 19.8% and 20.0%, respectively.
• Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter was $134.6 million, an increase of 6.7% compared to 2024. The year-over-year increase in Adjusted EBITDA was driven from the Product segment with higher revenue and better margins, from the Energy Storage segment, due to the contribution of new assets, higher merchant pricing, and a legal settlement with a battery supplier, and from better performance of the Dixie Valley and Beowawe power plants. The increase was offset by energy curtailments in the U.S., a planned outage at the Stillwater plant, and well-field maintenance work at the Puna power plant. In early July, we completed the Puna planned well-field maintenance work and the power plant resumed normal operation, while we continue to monitor the plant performance.
• Electricity segment revenues decreased by 3.8% during the second quarter, compared to last year. The year-over-year decrease in the second quarter’s revenue was driven by the previously disclosed well-field work at our Puna facility and energy curtailments, mainly at our McGinness Hills and Tungsten complexes, and the outage at our Stillwater plant related to a planned upgrade.
• Product segment revenues increased by 57.6% in the second quarter 2025, driven largely by the timing of revenue recognition from manufacturing and construction progress. Gross margin increased from 13.7% in the second quarter of 2024 to 27.7% in 2025, reflecting better margin contracts and growth in revenue.
• Product segment backlog stands at approximately $263.0 million as of August 6^th, 2025.
• Energy Storage segment revenues increased 62.7% in the second quarter compared to 2024. The improvement was driven by the contribution of the new assets that came online last year and strong merchant pricing in the PJM market.
  
  

BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS:

• Secured $300 million in funding from tax equity partnerships and project finance loans to support future development:
  • At the end of July, we signed a project finance loan agreement with a consortium of French lenders for our new Bouillante power plant in Guadeloupe, under which we will borrow up to $111 million aggregate principal. The loan is in euro and carries an average interest rate of 4.65%. We expect to receive the full amount in installments by the time the project is completed in 2026.
  • We also signed project finance loan agreements with the Caribbean Development Bank and Caricom Development Fund to support the 10MW geothermal Project in Dominica. Under these agreements, we will borrow up to $49.8 million aggregate principal at an interest rate of 2.4%, with payments expected by the end of 2025.
  • In July we entered into a tax partnership agreement with a private investor, through which we received $77 million for the Heber 1 & 2 Geothermal power plants tax benefits, with an additional $25.6 million expected over the next eight years.
  • We also signed a $62 million Hybrid Tax Equity partnership with Morgan Stanley Renewables, Inc and expect to receive the full proceeds by the end of 2025. This transaction supports the Lower Rio 60MW/120MWh storage facility and the Arrowleaf 35MW/140MWh storage and 42MW solar projects, all of which are expected to achieve COD by the end of 2025.
• Completed the acquisition of the 20MW Blue Mountain geothermal power plant in June, which allows for the potential to unlock additional value through expected PPA renewal and asset upgrades.
• Released for construction 25 MW of geothermal capacity and an additional 22 MW of Solar PV capacity to our Heber Complex, in California and a 3.5 MW addition to the Blue Mountain power plant in Nevada.
• The signed OBBB helped to create a longer PTC and ITC runway for both our geothermal and energy storage projects and enables Ormat to receive 100% of tax credits for projects starting construction by December 31, 2033.
• Announced the appointments of Aron Willis as Executive Vice President of the Electricity Segment and Daniel Moelk as Senior Vice President of Resources, Drilling & EGS, which we expect to help drive the next phase of growth and development for Ormat’s industry-leading geothermal operations.

The Company provides a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure for the three months ended June 30, 2025. 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 August 6, 2025, 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.

For the Three- and Six-Month Periods Ended June 30, 2025, and 2024

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 and storage 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 six months ended June 30, 2025, and 2024:
