TerraForm Power Reports 2014 Third Quarter Financial Results

Company Raises 2015 CAFD Guidance, Announces Completion of Sponsor Drop Downs, Advances 3rd Party M&A Strategy

 

    Generates strong Cash Available for Distribution (“CAFD”) of $30 million in Q3

 

    Announces completion of 50 Megawatt (“MW”) drop down, the first from SunEdison

 

    Executes two distributed generation acquisitions from third parties, adding 103 MW

 

    Raises 2015 CAFD guidance from $127 million to $156 million, an increase of 23%

BELTSVILLE, MD, Nov. 5, 2014 – TerraForm Power, Inc. (Nasdaq: TERP), a global owner and operator of renewable energy power plants, today reported 2014 third quarter financial results and announced it is raising its guidance to investors for 2015 CAFD from $127 million to $156 million. CAFD is a non-GAAP measure of TerraForm Power’s ability to generate cash to service its dividends.

“TerraForm Power continues to build on the two pillars of our growth strategy: organic drop downs from our sponsor SunEdison, Inc. (“SunEdison”), and acquisitions from third parties,” said Carlos Domenech, President and Chief Executive Officer of TerraForm Power. “During the third quarter, we made further progress on bringing our initial project portfolio online and announced accelerated drop downs from SunEdison. We also demonstrated our ability to make accretive acquisitions of high-quality contracted solar power plants from third parties.”

Project Drop Downs from SunEdison

TerraForm Power previously announced that it expected 50 MW of solar power plants in the United Kingdom to be dropped down from SunEdison prior to the end of 2014, which is earlier than anticipated and increases the total expected drop downs for 2014 to 75 MW. TerraForm Power announced today that the UK drop downs were completed on November 4th. TerraForm Power continues to expect that the remaining 25 MW of U.S. distributed generation projects will drop down before the end of 2014.

Third Party Acquisitions

On November 4th, TerraForm Power closed its first third-party acquisition as a public company: the purchase of the operating portfolio of Hudson Energy Solar Corporation, which adds approximately 25.5 MW of solar power plants to the Company’s portfolio. In addition, on October 29th, TerraForm Power announced its second acquisition, a 77.6 MW portfolio of distributed generation solar power plants from Capital Dynamics U.S. Solar Energy Fund, L.P. This acquisition is expected to close by year-end.

Initial Public Offering

On July 23, 2014, TerraForm Power closed its initial public offering (“IPO”), which raised net proceeds of approximately $534 million, and concurrent private placements, which raised additional proceeds of $65 million.

Third Quarter Financial Results

TerraForm Power reported third quarter adjusted revenue of $56 million, up from $22 million in the second quarter. The Company reported Adjusted EBITDA of approximately $47 million, compared to $20 million in the prior quarter.

 

1


TerraForm Power delivered strong CAFD of $30 million in the third quarter. CAFD benefitted from deleveraging of the Company’s initial portfolio subsequent to the IPO and the Company’s conservative capital structure. Please refer to the appendices to this release for reconciliations of our net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA and our net cash provided by operating activities to CAFD, in each case in accordance with GAAP.

“TerraForm Power is well positioned to execute on its growth strategy, which is supported by a strong and liquid balance sheet,” said Alex Hernandez, TerraForm Power’s Chief Financial Officer. “Through the IPO process, we capitalized the Company to provide the liquidity and debt capacity to act quickly on growth opportunities when they arise. We are pleased to have demonstrated the value of that strategy and will continue to position the Company for growth going forward.”

As of September 30, the Company had total liquidity of $475 million, comprised of cash, restricted cash, and availability under its revolving credit facility. After giving effect to the closings of the two announced third party acquisitions and expected drop downs from SunEdison in the fourth quarter, and including the previously announced increases in TerraForm Power’s credit facilities, the Company’s total liquidity, on a pro forma basis, is expected to be approximately $431 million.

CAFD Outlook

As a result of its success in pursuing its growth strategy, TerraForm Power is increasing its 2015 CAFD guidance to $156 million. TerraForm reiterates its intention to pay a dividend based on a payout ratio of 85% of projected annual Cash Available for Distribution. TerraForm intends to revisit its dividend guidance after the closing of the Capital Dynamics acquisition, which is expected to occur in the fourth quarter.

Dividend for 3Q 2014

TerraForm Power today announced that its Board of Directors declared its first dividend on the Company’s Class A common stock of 17.17 cents per share. This amount represents a quarterly dividend of 22.57 cents per share, or $0.90 per share on an annualized basis, prorated to adjust for a partial quarter as the Company made its Initial Public Offering of shares on July 18. The dividend is payable December 15, 2014 to shareholders of record as of November 26, 2014. This marks TerraForm Power’s first dividend as a public company.

Safe Harbor Disclosure

This release contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Such forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including with respect to expected Adjusted EBITDA, cash available for distribution, earnings, future growth and financial performance, and typically can be identified by the use of words such as “expect,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “forecast,” “intend,” “project,” “target,” “plan,” “believe” and similar terms and expressions. Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and assumptions. Although TerraForm Power believes that its expectations and assumptions are reasonable, it can give no assurance that these expectations and assumptions will prove to have been correct, and actual results may vary materially. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements include, among others: the failure of counterparties to fulfill their obligations under offtake agreements; price fluctuations, termination provisions and buyout provisions in offtake agreements; delays or unexpected costs during the completion of projects under construction; TerraForm Power’s ability to successfully identify, evaluate and consummate acquisitions from SunEdison or third parties or changes in expected timing of any acquisitions; government regulation; operating and financial restrictions under agreements governing indebtedness; TerraForm’s ability to borrow additional funds and access capital markets; TerraForm Power’s ability to compete against traditional and renewable energy companies; and hazards customary to the power production industry and power generation operations, such as unusual weather conditions and outages. Furthermore, any dividends are subject to available capital, market conditions and compliance with associated laws and regulations.

TerraForm Power undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. The Adjusted EBITDA and cash available for distribution are estimates as of today’s date, November 5, 2014, and are based on assumptions believed to be reasonable as of this date. TerraForm Power expressly disclaims any current intention to update such guidance. The foregoing review of factors that could cause TerraForm Power’s actual results to differ materially from those contemplated in the forward-looking statements included in this news release should be considered in connection with information regarding risks and uncertainties that may affect TerraForm Power’s future results included in TerraForm Power’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission at www.sec.gov. In addition, TerraForm Power makes available free of charge at www.terraform.com copies of materials it files with, or furnishes to, the SEC.

Cash Available for Distribution (CAFD)

CAFD is a supplemental non-GAAP measure of TerraForm Power’s ability to earn and distribute cash to investors. This measurement is not recognized in accordance with GAAP and should not be viewed as an alternative to GAAP measures of performance, including net income, net cash provided by (used in) operating activities or any other liquidity measure determined in accordance with GAAP, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure which eliminates the impact on net income of certain unusual or non-recurring items and other factors that we do not consider indicative of future operating performance. This measurement is not recognized in accordance with GAAP and should not be viewed as an alternative to GAAP measures of performance, including net income. The presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items.

(2) Adjusted EBITDA and cash available for distribution are non-GAAP measures. You should not consider these measures as alternatives to net income (loss), determined in accordance with GAAP, or net cash provided by operating activities, determined in accordance with GAAP.
(3) Represents contributions received from SunEdison pursuant to the Interest Payment Agreement. These contributions are recurring for three years beginning with the origination of the Term Loan.

Reconciliation of Q3 2014 Net Income to Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA

We believe Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors in evaluating our operating performance because securities analysts and other interested parties use such calculations as a measure of financial performance and debt service capabilities. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA is used by our management for internal planning purposes, including for certain aspects of our consolidated operating budget.

(a) Subsequent to the closing of the IPO, SunEdison will pay all our scheduled interest on our term loan up to $48 million through the third anniversary of our entering into the Term Loan under an interest payment agreement. During the period from July 24, 2014 to September 30, 2014, the Company received $1.5 million equity contribution from SunEdison pursuant to the Interest Payment Agreement. There was no cash consideration paid to SunEdison for these services for the period from July 24, 2014 through September 30, 2014. Total actual costs for these services during the period from July 24, 2014 to September 30, 2014 of $6.2 million is reflected in the consolidated statement of operations and has been treated as an equity contribution from SunEdison.
(b) Represents the non-cash allocation of SunEdison’s corporate overhead. In conjunction with the closing of the IPO on July 23, we entered into the MSA with SunEdison, pursuant to which SunEdison will provide or arrange for other service providers to provide management and administrative services to us. There will be no cash payments to SunEdison for these services during 2014, and in subsequent years, the cash fees payable to SunEdison will be capped at $4.0 million in 2015, $7.0 million in 2016 and $9.0 million in 2017. The amount of general and administrative expenses in excess of the fees paid to SunEdison in each year will be treated as an add back in the reconciliation of net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA.
(c) Represents transaction related costs associated with the acquisitions completed during the three month period ended September 30, 2014.
(d) Represents non-recurring professional fees for legal, tax and accounting services incurred as a result of the IPO.
(e) We recognized a net gain on extinguishment of debt of $9.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 due primarily to the termination of our capital lease obligations upon acquiring the lessor interest in the SunE Solar Fund X solar generation assets.
(f) We incurred a loss on foreign currency exchange of $6.2 million during the three months ended September 30, 2014. These losses are driven by unrealized losses of $6.3 million on the re-measurement of intercompany loans which are denominated in British pounds.

We define “cash available for distribution” or “CAFD” as net cash provided by operating activities of Terra LLC as adjusted for certain other cash flow items that we associate with our operations. It is a non-GAAP measure of our ability to generate cash to service our dividends. As used in this news release, cash available for distribution represents net cash provided by (used in) operating activities of Terra LLC (i) plus or minus changes in assets and liabilities as reflected on our statements of cash flows, (ii) minus deposits into (or plus withdrawals from) restricted cash accounts required by project financing arrangements to the extent they decrease (or increase) cash provided by operating activities, (iii) minus cash distributions paid to non-controlling interests in our projects, if any, (iv) minus scheduled project-level and other debt service payments and repayments in accordance with the related borrowing arrangements, to the extent they are paid from operating cash flows during a period, (v) minus non-expansionary capital expenditures, if any, to the extent they are paid from operating cash flows during a period, (vi) plus cash contributions from our Sponsor pursuant to the Interest Payment Agreement, (vii) plus operating costs and expenses paid by our Sponsor pursuant to the Management Services Agreement to the extent such costs or expenses exceed the fee payable by us pursuant to such agreement but otherwise reduce our net cash provided by operating activities and (viii) plus or minus operating items as necessary to present the cash flows we deem representative of our core business operations, with the approval of the audit committee. Our intention is to cause Terra LLC to distribute a portion of the cash available for distribution generated by our project portfolio to its members each quarter, after appropriate reserves for our working capital needs and the prudent conduct of our business.
