Q3 Financial Results
Revenues increased to $966 million from $867 million a year earlier but missed analysts’ expectations of $1.01 billion.
FFO came in at $0.36 per share, higher than the $0.31 per share reported in the third quarter of last year and the Street’s estimate of a loss of $0.04 per share. The rise was driven by high levels of asset availability and new acquisitions.
The Hydroelectric segment’s FFO totaled $142 million; the Wind and Solar segments generated a combined FFO of $130 million; and the Energy Transition segment’s FFO amounted to $48 million.
