• LONG-TERM PPA AGREEMENTS SIGNED WITH GOOGLE AND SWITCH

RENO, Nev., Feb. 25, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ormat Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: ORA) (the “Company” or “Ormat”), a leading geothermal and renewable energy company, today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2025.

KEY FINANCIAL RESULTS

“2025 marked a strong year for Ormat as we continued to execute on our long-term growth strategy and expand our portfolio,” said Doron Blachar, Chief Executive Officer of Ormat Technologies. “For the full year, revenue increased 12.5% to nearly $1.0 billion and Adjusted EBITDA improved 5.7%, driven primarily by higher contributions from our Energy Storage segment and improved performance from our Product segment. Our Energy Storage segment more than doubled revenues year-over-year, benefiting from higher merchant pricing in the PJM market and contributions from new facilities that reached commercial operation in 2024 and 2025. Importantly, the segment delivered strong margins in both the fourth quarter and full year, reflecting the success of our strategy to balance contracted revenues with merchant exposure to maximize profitability.”

“In our Electricity segment, fourth quarter revenues increased 3.6%, supported by the acquisition of the Blue Mountain power plant and improved performance at Dixie Valley. For the full year, results were negatively impacted by the previously disclosed U.S curtailments, which eased in the fourth quarter. These impacts were partially offset by contributions from Blue Mountain, the Beowawe repower project and improved operational performance across the portfolio.”

“During the year, we also made meaningful progress advancing next-generation geothermal technologies. We established a partnership with SLB and executed a strategic commercial agreement with Sage Geosystems to accelerate the development of EGS. Subsequent to year-end, we co-led Sage’s Series B financing with a $25 million investment, reinforcing our commitment to accelerate innovation and expand the long-term potential of next generation geothermal energy.”

“Demand for reliable, carbon-free baseload power continues to strengthen, particularly from data centers. In the last few months we have secured multiple long-term PPAs, including a 15-year portfolio PPA of up to 150MW to supply Google’s data center electricity needs through NV Energy, and a 20-year agreement with Switch for approximately 13MW from the Salt Wells power plant. These agreements enhance long-term revenue growth, support our expanded exploration and drilling initiatives, and position us to capitalize on record-high PPA pricing.”

Blachar concluded, “As we enter 2026, demand for reliable, low-carbon electricity, driven by AI and data center expansion, remains exceptionally strong. PPA pricing has reached attractive levels, and regulatory support remains constructive. With favorable market dynamics, recently signed PPAs, and an expanded exploration program, we remain on track to achieve our generating capacity goals of 2.6 to 2.8 GW by the end of 2028. We believe Ormat is well positioned to continue expanding its leadership in geothermal, next generation geothermal technologies and energy storage while delivering long-term shareholder value.”

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

• Net income attributable to the Company’s stockholders for the fourth quarter was $31.4 million, or $0.50 per diluted share, compared to $40.8 million, or $0.67 per diluted share, in the prior year period. The decrease was primarily driven by $12 million in impairment charges and a slightly higher effective tax rate, partially offset by strong growth in the Energy Storage segment. For the full year 2025, net income attributable to the Company’s stockholders was $123.9 million, or $2.02 per diluted share, compared to $123.7 million, or $2.04 per diluted share, in 2024.
• Adjusted net income attributable to the Company’s stockholders and adjusted diluted EPS for the fourth quarter decreased 4.1% and 6.9%, respectively, compared to last year. Adjusted net income attributable to the Company’s stockholders and adjusted diluted EPS for the full year 2025 increased 2.7% and 1.8%, respectively, compared to last year.
• Adjusted EBITDA increased 9.1% in the fourth quarter to $158.7 million and increased 5.7% for the full year to $582.0 million. The year-over-year growth was primarily driven by higher contributions from the Energy Storage segment, reflecting improved PJM pricing and new capacity additions, as well as improved performance in the Product segment.
• Electricity segment revenues increased 3.6% in the fourth quarter compared to the prior year, primarily driven by contributions from the Blue Mountain power plant, acquired in June 2025, and improved generation performance at Dixie Valley. For the full year 2025, Electricity segment revenues decreased 1.2% compared to 2024, primarily due to $18.6 million of curtailments across several U.S. facilities, a temporary reduction in generation at Puna related to wellfield issues and lower energy rates and planned repowering activities at Stillwater. These headwinds were partially offset by contributions from Blue Mountain, the Beowawe repowering, and Improved performance at Dixie Valley.
• Energy Storage revenues increased 140.5% in the fourth quarter and 109.3% for the full year 2025 compared to 2024. Growth was driven by higher merchant pricing in the PJM market, commercial operation of Bottleneck and Montague in the fourth quarter of 2024 and Lower Rio and the Arrowleaf hybrid solar-plus-storage facility in the second half of 2025. Energy Storage gross margin improved significantly year-over-year, reflecting higher merchant pricing and the benefit of a more optimized portfolio mix between contracted and merchant revenues.
• Product segment revenues increased 59.1% in the fourth quarter and 55.2% for the full year 2025, primarily driven by the timing of revenue recognition from manufacturing and construction progress.
• Product segment backlog stands at approximately $352 million as of February 25, 2026. This amount includes approximately $100 million of revenues related to the Topp 2 project, for which our customer exercised its purchase option. The revenues are expected to be recognized in the first quarter of 2026.

• In January 2026, we invested $25 million in Sage Geosystems as part of its Series B financing round to advance next-generation geothermal and energy storage technologies.

This collaboration with SLB is expected to significantly accelerate the timeline for Ormat to become a developer of EGS power plants and market EGS solutions that will help meet the growing demand for clean energy. Preparations for our EGS pilot project are already underway.

The Company provides a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 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, the probable significance of which cannot be determined. 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.
