TEL AVIV, Israel, Aug. 09, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Enlight Renewable Energy Ltd. (NASDAQ: ENLT, TASE: ENLT) today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2023.
The Company’s quarterly earnings materials and a link to the earnings webcast, which will be held today at 8:00 AM ET, may be found on the investor relations section of Enlight’s website at https://enlightenergy.co.il/data/financial-reports/
Second Quarter 2023: Financial Highlights
- Revenue of $53m, up 32% year over year.
- Net Income of $22m, transitioning from a $1m loss last year.
- Adjusted EBITDA* of $42m, up 58% year over year.
- Cash flow from operation of $39m, up 95% year over year.
First Half 2023: Financial Highlights
- Revenue of $124m, up 65% year over year.
- Net income of $56m, up 600% year over year
- Adjusted EBITDA* of $95m, up 86% year over year
- Cash flow from operation of $95m, up 181% year over year.
“We delivered rapid growth and increased profitability in the second quarter of 2023, driven primarily by 700 MW of new operational projects. While quarterly revenue grew at a rate of 32% year over year, which was lower than expected, driven by lower wind production and electricity prices at Project Gecama in Spain, Adjusted EBITDA growth remained as expected at 58% thanks to lower O&M costs in Spain and better results across other projects”, said Gilad Yavetz, CEO of Enlight Renewable Energy.
“We made significant progress this quarter across our Mature Portfolio, which provides us with a strong indication of our ability to deliver consistent rapid growth.We reached commercial operation on150 MWof generation and 40 MWh of energy storage, including our first ever storage project,while securing critical milestones on over 2 GW of MatureProjects, including the addition of a new flagship project in the Western U.S to our Mature Portfolio.We believe thatthe progress we have made further de-risks our plan to reach 4.6 GW and 3.6 GWh of operational projects by the end 2025.”
“In addition, we continued to deliver projects with above-market returns. During the quarter, we secured 250 MW of power purchase agreement (“PPA”) amendments with an average price increase of 87% and signed 280 MW and 1,680 MWh of new PPAs at attractive prices. Project Atrisco was also recognized as an energy community under the Inflation Reduction Act (“IRA”), further increasing the projected returns for our first flagship project in the United States. We believe our proven record of delivering both rapid growth and above-market returns puts us in a prime position to capture the massive opportunity we see ahead.”
Second Quarter: Further Highlights
- Delivering on project conversion: 150 MW and 40 MWh reached commercial operation; 94 MW commenced construction; 330 MW and 840 MWh added to the Mature Portfolio, including a new flagship solar and storage project in the Western U.S.
- Focusing on project economics: 280 MW and 1,680 MWh of new PPAs signed at attractive pricing. Amended 250MW of PPAs at an average price increaseof 87%.
- 4.3 GW of U.S. portfolio may benefit from energy community tax credit adder (+17% from Q1 estimate, post assessment of brownfield locations).
- Project Atrisco expected to benefit from energy community adder, increasing projected returns; financial close expected by the end of September 2023. Project COD on track for Q2 2024 COD.
- Secured $170m of corporate revolving credit facilities from several Israeli banks (currently undrawn), further enhancing the Company’s financial flexibility.
- 65% of revenues in USD and EUR, driven by ongoing transition to large scale developed markets in Europe and North America. While we continue to invest in Israel in the positive backdrop of deregulation of the local electricity market, Israel’s share of our global mix is expected to shrink over time.
- 2023 Guidance Updates: due to lower than expected wind production and electricity prices at Project Gecama in Spain, we are adjusting our revenue guidance from $290-300m to $265-275m. However, based on significantly lower than expected windfall taxes (O&M costs) in Spain and compensation recognized from Siemens Gamesa at Björnberget in connection with delays in reaching full production, we are reaffirming our Adjusted EBITDA guidance at $188-198m.
Overview of Financial and Operating Results: Revenue
In the second quarter of 2023, the Company’s revenues increased to $53m, up from $40m last year, a growth rate of 32% year over year. Growth was mainly driven by the revenue contribution of new operational projects, as well as the inflation indexation embedded in PPAs for already operational projects.

Since the second quarter of last year, 700MW of projects started selling electricity, includingGecama andBjörnberget. These projects collectively contributed $11m of revenue during the second quarter of 2023.
The Company also benefited from inflation indexation embedded in its PPAs, which contributed an additional $3m of revenue during the quarter. This reflected an average indexation of 7.2% across 592 MW of PPAs for projects that have been operational for a full year.
With respect to FX, the impact of a strengthening Euro was offset by a weaker Shekel, with a cumulative negative impactof $1 million.
Financial performance was well-balanced between Western Europe, Central-Eastern Europe (“CEE”) and Israel, with 61% of revenues in the second quarter of 2023 denominated in Euros, 5% in another European currency and 30% denominated in Israeli shekel. In the second half of 2023, revenue is expected to include a substantial contribution denominated in U.S. dollars, following the COD of Apex Solar, the Company’s first project to reach commercial operations in the United States.
In addition to the above, the Company sold $5m of electricity in projects treated as financial assets in the second quarter.Under IFRS this revenue is accounted for as financing income or other non-P&L metrics.
Net Income
In the second quarter of 2023, the Company’s net income increased to $22m, transitioning from a $1m loss last year. $12m of the increase was driven by new projects, including $6m from Björnberget, largely reflecting the after-tax impact of the compensation recognized from Siemens Gamesa.
With respect to the recent announcement by Siemens Gamesa on issues with its onshore wind turbines, we do not expect either a short or long term impact to Project Björnberget. During the second quarter, we recognized compensatory payments from Siemens Gamesa under our agreement due to delays in reaching full production. As of today, 56 of 60 turbines are operational. COD under the PPA has been declared and Björnberget is expected to reach full production in the coming weeks.
The residual growth in net income of $11m was driven by a reduced expectation of earnout payments to be incurred for the acquisition of Clenera for early stage projects not in our Mature Portfolio ($5m) and interest income on deposits as well as foreign exchange impacts (strengthening USD relative to the NIS) on our cash and cash equivalents ($6m).
Adjusted EBITDA*
In the second quarter of 2023, the Company’s Adjusted EBITDA grew by 58% to $42m compared to $26m for the same period in 2022.
The increase was driven by the same factors which affected our revenue increase in the same period, as well as $8m of compensation recognized from Siemens Gamesa due to the delay in reaching full production at Project Björnberget as described above, offset by a $2m increase in overhead as the team scales to accommodate rapid growth.

Portfolio Overview
______________________
1 As of August 09, 2023 (“Approval Date”).
United States
The Company delivered significant progress on its large U.S. portfolio during the second quarter of 2023.
The Apex Solar project, sized at 105MWdc and located in southwestern Montana, achieved mechanical completion and began operating in June. After optimization and tuning, commercial operations were achieved in July. The milestone is a significant one for the group as it represents Enlight’s first project to reach commercial operations in the United States.
In New Mexico, our 364 MW / 1,200 MWh Atrisco Solar project is advancing steadily. The project’s battery supplier completed work to finalize factory qualification and has initialized battery pack shipments required for container deliveries, which are set to begin in the fourth quarter of 2023. Site work is on schedule and commercial operation is on track for the end of the second quarter 2024. Moreover, the Company confirmed that Atrisco qualifies for a 10% tax credit adder on both the solar and storage portions of the project. The adder is based on the project site’s brownfield status and subsequent qualification for energy community classification. Project finance definitive agreements are advancing with financial close now expected in September of 2023.
The Company is also progressing on the CO Bar project, located in Arizona. At 1.2 GW solar and 824 MWh storage, CO Bar is the first of the Company’s gigawatt sized projects to mature. In the second quarter, we successfully contracted the remaining 258 MW and 824 MWh of the project. CO Bar is now fully contracted with two leading Arizona utilities (Salt River Project and Arizona Public Service), under 20 year busbar PPAs. There is also potential to expand the storage part of the project in the future from 824 MWh today to 4 GWh given the size of our interconnection position. On the development front, the CO Bar project has primary land control and permitting in place. The system impact study (SIS) for the interconnection is complete, and the facilities study is expected in Q4 of 2023. CO Bar is expected to start construction in the fourth quarter of 2023 and achieve COD in phases through 2025. The project stands to benefit from the IRA, including the production tax credit (PTC) and the possibility of a domestic content adder on the storage.
Moreover, the Company added 278 MW and 800 MWh to its Mature Portfolio in the U.S., driven by the addition of Roadrunner,a flagship combined solar and storage project in Arizona.The project totaling 250 MW and 800 MWh is contracted to AEPCO under a 20 year busbar PPA. COD is expected in H1 2026. The projecthas site control, a signed PPA and a signed interconnection agreement. Final permitting is required, after which construction is expected to commence. The project highlights our continued market leadership in the West and the underlying quality of our project pipeline.
Finally, the Company’s advanced portfolio and market specific knowledge has enabled it to avoid the increasing interconnection queue congestion across the United States over the quarter. In the second quarter, Rustic Hills secured its system impact study, a significant milestone for the project. The Company’s entire Mature Portfolio and Advanced Development Portfolio in the U.S. is now past the system impact study phase – a critical component of the interconnection study process. Given this advantage, the Company believes it is well positioned to continue and even potentially accelerate its growth in the United States.
On supply chain, the Company’s diversified sourcing strategy has reliably satisfied module and other equipment supply requirements in the United States. The Company has the right to purchase up to 2 GW of modules from India with delivery through 2025. We also have access to additional supply from Southeast Asia. Our battery cell source is now qualified in international factories, and we are seeing strong progress in reaching our goal to have qualified domestic supply for late 2024 deliveries and beyond. Our procurement strength is proving to be a source of strategic advantage in negotiating project contracts with utility offtake and demonstrating to financing parties we can hold construction schedules.
Europe
The Company made substantial progress on its European portfolio during the quarter. The Company reached commercial operation on 26 MW in Hungary. This is our second project to reach commercial operation in Hungary with another 60 MW currently under construction. In addition, during the quarter the Company commenced construction on project Pupin, a 94 MW wind project in Serbia. Pupin is located adjacent to our existing operational asset in Serbia, Project Blacksmith, leveraging the same point of interconnection under our land and expand strategy.
On the development front, Gecama Solar (Spain), a 250 MW solar and 200 MWh storage project, is approaching the start of construction. The Company believes the project is close to securing its environmental permit, which would be the final major development milestone. Construction is on schedule to commence by the end of 2023 with COD expected by year end 2024.
Within the Company’s operational portfolio in Europe, wind speeds during the second quarter were lower than expected across Spain, impacting Project Gecama (Spain). In addition, at Project Gecama, merchant pricing was lower than expected driven by falling natural gas prices. This was offset by significantly lower than expected windfall taxes (O&M costs). The windfall tax was implemented by the Spanish government to reduce the impact of high electricity prices on consumers, by taxing renewable generators. The windfall tax moves in tandem with natural gas prices. During the second quarter of 2023, Gecama (Spain) sold electricity at an average price of EUR 65 per MWh, of which 65% was hedged at EUR 58 per MWh with the remainder sold on merchant basis at EUR 79 per MWh. Windfall taxes were EUR 4 per MWh. While merchant prices were lower than expected in the second quarter, merchant prices in Spain remain high through 2024. During the second quarter, the Company signed hedges comprising 22% of production at an average price of EUR 97 per MWh for 2024 delivery.
Israel
In the second quarter, Genesis Wind, the largest renewable energy project in Israel, totaling 207 MWwas connectedto the grid. Full COD is expected by the end of the third quarter 2023.
The Company continues to progress construction on Solar + Storage project clusters, totaling 248 MW and 474 MWh of storage. During the second quarter 23 MW and 40 MWh reached commercial operation. An additional 67 MW and 115 MWh is expected to reach commercial operation before the end of 2023, with the remainder of the cluster expected to be commercialized by the end of the first half of 2024.
The Company made significant progress during the quarter on securing offtake for the Solar + Storage projects. Corporate PPAs were signed with leading multinationals including Amdocs, and SodaStream (subsidiary of PepsiCo) totaling 30 MW and 60 MWh, with negotiations ongoing with several additional offtakers. As a result of the deregulation of the electricity market in Israel, we are observing significant corporate demand for renewable energy, which has increased our PPA prices and the returns we expect to generate from our future projects.
Post-quarter end, in July 2023, the Company sold two small projects in Israel totaling 25 MW at a valuation of $465,000 per MW. This is expected to contribute about $6m of net proceeds in the third quarter.
Balance Sheet
The Company benefits from a strong and diversified liquidity position, with 84% of cash and cash equivalents held in U.S. dollars or Euros, with minimal exposure to the Israeli shekel.

2023 Financial Outlook
Commenting on the outlook, Enlight Chief Financial Officer Nir Yehuda noted, “In light of lower merchant pricing and weaker wind speeds in Spain we have revised our revenue forecast for the year. This impact is expected to be offset at the Adjusted EBITDA level by lower O&M costs, as windfall tax costs in Spain have significantly decreased, driven by lower natural gas prices, coupled with compensation recognized from Siemens Gamesa for Project Björnberget. We are therefore pleased to affirm our Adjusted EBITDA guidance for 2023.”
Details of the 2023 outlook include:
- Revenue between $265m and $275m
- Adjusted EBITDA*reaffirmed between$188m and $198m
* The section titled “Non-IFRS Financial Measures” below contains a description of Adjusted EBITDA, a non-IFRS financial measure discussed in this press release. A reconciliation between Adjusted EBITDA and Net Income, its most directly comparable IFRS financial measure, is contained in the tables below. The Company is unable to provide a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to Net Income on a forward-looking basis without unreasonable effort because items that impact this IFRS financial measure are not within the Company’s control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted. These items may include, but are not limited to, forward-looking depreciation and amortization, share based compensation, other income, finance income, finance expenses, share of losses of equity accounted investees and taxes on income. Such information may have a significant, and potentially unpredictable, impact on the Company’s future financial results. We note that “Adjusted EBITDA” measures that we disclosed in previous filings in Israel were not comparable to “Adjusted EBITDA” disclosed in the release and in our future filings.

Supplemental Financial and Other Information
We intend to announce material information to the public through the Enlight investor relations website at https://enlightenergy.co.il/info/investors, SEC filings, press releases, public conference calls, and public webcasts. We use these channels to communicate with our investors, customers, and the public about our company, our offerings, and other issues.

Any updates to the list of disclosure channels through which we will announce information will be posted on the investor relations page of our website.
Non-IFRS Financial Measures
This release presents Adjusted EBITDA, a financial metric, which is provided as a complement to the results provided in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IFRS”). A reconciliation of the non-IFRS financial information to the most directly comparable IFRS financial measure is provided in the accompanying tables found at the end of this release.
We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) plus depreciation and amortization, share based compensation, finance expenses, taxes on income and share in losses of equity accounted investees and minus finance income and non-recurring other income. Non-recurring other income for the second quarter of 2023 included income recognized in relation to the reduction of earnout we expect to pay as part of the Clenera Acquisition. With respect to other expense (income), as part of Enlight’s strategy to accelerate growth and reduce the need for equity financing, the Company sells parts of, or entire, developed assets from time to time, and therefore includes realized gains and losses from these asset dispositions in Adjusted EBITDA. Our management believes Adjusted EBITDA is indicative of operational performance and ongoing profitability and uses Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate the operating performance and for planning and forecasting purposes.
Non-IFRS financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for financial information presented under IFRS. There are a number of limitations related to the use of non-IFRS financial measures versus comparable financial measures determined under IFRS. For example, other companies in our industry may calculate the non-IFRS financial measures that we use differently or may use other measures to evaluate their performance. All of these limitations could reduce the usefulness of our non-IFRS financial measures as analytical tools. Investors are encouraged to review the related IFRS financial measure, Net Income, and the reconciliations of Adjusted EBITDA provided below to Net Income and to not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.
