Reports Q4 revenue $241.30M, consensus $239.71M. “I am pleased to report that Ormat delivered another quarter of solid results, marking a strong conclusion to a successful year in 2023,” said Doron Blachar, Chief Executive Officer of Ormat. “Our core Electricity segment achieved record quarterly revenues of $183.9 million, while robust growth of 56.7% in our Product segment boosted Adjusted EBITDA, driving growth of 11.5% compared to the same period last year, establishing positive momentum as we enter 2024.” “The escalating demand for sustainable electricity continues to support Ormat’s multi-year growth trajectory. From the beginning of 2023 and to this point in 2024 we have added 239MW of new capacity through development and acquisition, of which 157MW was added to the Electricity segment, including 100MW of geothermal and solar PV assets acquired in January 2024, and 82MW from five new storage facilities in our Storage segment. This growth helps further advance our efforts towards meeting our 2026 capacity expansion targets, which we believe should help to increase our EBITDA and earnings generation in 2024 and beyond.” Doron Blachar, continued, “Looking forward, we are on track with our capacity expansions in both the Electricity and the Storage segments, with the potential to reach capacity of between 2.1 GW to 2.3 GW by the end of 2026. We anticipate an increase of 7% and 10% in total revenues and Adjusted EBITDA, respectively, for 2024. Our commitment to strategic execution combined with our investment in high-quality geothermal and energy storage assets positions Ormat for continued growth, while also contributing to the global push to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. We remain firm in our dedication to delivering value to our shareholders and advancing sustainable communities and economies in the regions in which we operate.”
