NEW YORK, Aug. 19, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Greenbacker Renewable Energy Company LLC (“Greenbacker,” “GREC,” or the “Company”), an independent power producer and energy transition-focused investment manager, has announced financial results1 for the second quarter of 2024, including year-over-year increases in revenue, operating capacity,2 and clean energy generation.

Greenbacker continued to execute on the build-out of its portfolio of projects, increasing its operating fleet 15% year-over-year by converting 211 MW of pre-operating projects into operating assets generating revenue and cash flow

Over the period, Greenbacker continued to execute on one of its primary objectives: completing construction on the pre-operating assets under its control, converting them into revenue-generating operating assets.

Year-over-year, the Company’s independent power producer (“IPP”) business segment placed 211 additional pre-operating megawatts (“MW”) into commercial operation, growing its operating fleet by over 15%.

As of June 30, 2024, the total capacity of GREC’s operating fleet had increased to 1.6 gigawatts (“GW”) of assets generating revenue and cash flow through the sale of clean energy.

Total operating revenue of $57.9 million in the second quarter represented a 14% year-over-year increase, driven by significant production increases

During the quarter, this increased capacity contributed to Greenbacker’s total operating revenue of $57.9 million—a year-over-year increase of 14% that amounted to an additional $7.1 million of operating revenue.

Revenue from the sale of clean energy within the IPP segment totaled $50.3 million in the quarter, approximately 90% (or $44.9 million) of which came from the Company’s long-term power purchase agreements (“PPAs”).

Funds From Operations (“FFO”) was $10.0 million for the period and represents $22.1 million of Adjusted EBITDA less cash interest expense and distributions to our tax equity investors. The net loss attributable to Greenbacker was $10.8 million, driven by items such as depreciation, amortization, and impairment charges recorded during the period. The year-over-year decrease is primarily related to the allocation of tax equity benefits and losses associated with a large project that was placed into service in the second quarter of 2023, contributing to positive net income attributable to Greenbacker during that period.

The year-over-year increase in revenues was primarily driven by revenue related to greater clean power production from the Company’s fleet of operating assets, which produced over 900,000 megawatt-hours (“MWh”) of total power in the quarter, marking a year-over-year production increase of 20%.

Some figures may not add to stated totals due to rounding. Total clean power generated does not include power produced by other renewable sources.

Solar and wind fleets substantially increased power production, due to additional solar assets brought online and the impact of Company’s wind repowers

During the second quarter, the Company’s solar assets generated 577,000 MWh of clean power, while its wind assets produced 337,000 MWh, representing year-over-year increases of 19% and 25%, respectively.

The year-over-year solar production increase was largely driven by the more than two dozen additional solar assets the Company placed into operation over the past 12 months. These included the 99 MW Fall River project in South Dakota, 50 MW of assets in New York, and Greenbacker’s 6.4 MW Montezuma solar project in Colorado, pictured below.

Greenbacker’s recent wind repower portfolio contributed significantly to the wind fleet’s year-over-year production increase. This was due to two of the portfolio’s three assets being strategically taken offline during the second quarter of 2023 to begin repowering, which temporarily muted production during that period, and because all three projects were fully operational and producing power with new, more efficient turbines for the entire second quarter of 2024.

The repowers are projected to significantly increase Greenbacker’s annual operating revenue for the remaining decades of their estimated useful life.3

$41 million raised in investment vehicles managed by the Company’s investment management segment, GCM, increasing fee-earning AUM to over $760 million

Greenbacker’s investment management (“IM”) business segment, Greenbacker Capital Management (“GCM”), raised $40.9 million for its managed funds during the second quarter, increasing its year-to-date capital raise to $85.1 million.

With this additional capital, fee-earning AUM4 increased to over $760 million, as of quarter end. Aggregate AUM,5 which includes the assets managed for Greenbacker Renewable Energy Company, for which GCM does not receive management fees, was approximately $3.7 billion.

Greenbacker’s IM business segment generated $5.6 million of revenue in the quarter, representing a year-over-year increase of 27%, or an additional $1.2 million of revenue, driven by the increase in fee-earning AUM.

Company plans to significantly increase revenue-generating operating capacity by constructing remaining pre-operating assets over next four years

Greenbacker plans to continue building out its pre-operating fleet. By the end of 2028, as the Company successfully carries out its development and construction plans, Greenbacker expects to substantially increase the capacity of its operating fleet, supporting long-term, predictable growth in revenues, cashflows, and Adjusted EBITDA, as its additional assets become operational and begin producing and selling electricity.6

The table below illustrates Greenbacker’s estimated timeline for its current pre-operational assets to enter commercial operation.7

  Operating Fleet (MW) Pre-Operating Fleet (MW) Total (MW)

Company’s investments abate carbon emissions, conserve water, and support green jobs

Along with executing on significant year-over-year increases in revenue, power production, and operating fleet capacity, GREC also continued to deliver on its sustainability goals.

As of June 30, 2024, Greenbacker’s clean energy assets had cumulatively produced over 10.1 million MWh of clean power since January 2016, abating nearly 7.2 million metric tons of carbon.8 The Company’s clean energy projects have saved approximately 7.0 billion gallons of water,9 compared to the amount of water needed to produce the same amount of power by burning coal. Greenbacker’s investment activities will sustain over 6,800 green jobs.10

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual results to differ materially from those anticipated at the time the forward-looking statements are made. Although Greenbacker believes the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions, it can give no assurance that the expectations will be attained or that any deviation will not be material. Greenbacker undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement contained herein to conform to actual results or changes in its expectations.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to evaluating the Company’s performance on a U.S. GAAP basis, the Company now utilizes certain non-GAAP financial measures to analyze the operating performance of our segments as well as our consolidated business. Each of these measures should not be considered in isolation from or as superior to or as a substitute for other financial measures determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, such as net income (loss) or operating income (loss). The Company uses these non-GAAP financial measures to supplement its U.S. GAAP results in order to provide a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting its operations.

Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that the Company uses as a performance measure, as well as for internal planning purposes. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is useful to management and investors in providing a measure of core financial performance adjusted to allow for comparisons of results of operations across reporting periods on a consistent basis, as it includes adjustments relating to items that are not indicative on the ongoing operating performance of the business.

Adjusted EBITDA is a performance measure used by management that is not calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation from or as superior to or as a substitute for net income (loss), operating income (loss) or any other measure of financial performance calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Additionally, our calculations of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Funds From Operations
FFO is a non-GAAP financial measure that the Company uses as a performance measure to analyze net earnings from operations without the effects of certain non-recurring items that are not indicative of the ongoing operating performance of the business. FFO is calculated using Adjusted EBITDA less the impact of interest expense (excluding the non-cash component) and distributions to tax equity investors under the financing facilities associated with our IPP segment. 

The Company believes that the analysis and presentation of FFO will enhance our investor’s understanding of the ongoing performance of our operating business. The Company considers FFO, in addition to other GAAP and non-GAAP measures, in assessing operating performance and as a proxy for growth in distribution coverage over the long term.

FFO should not be considered in isolation from or as a superior to or as a substitute for net income (loss), operating income (loss) or any other measure of financial performance calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before: (i) interest expense; (ii) income taxes; (iii) depreciation expense; (iv) amortization expense (including contract amortization); (v) accretion; (vi) impairment of long-lived assets; (vii) amounts attributable to our redeemable and non-redeemable noncontrolling interests; (viii) unrealized gains and losses on financial instruments; (ix) other income (loss); and (x) foreign currency gain (loss). Additionally, the Company further adjusts for the following items described below:

  • Share-based compensation is excluded from Adjusted EBITDA as it is different from other forms of compensation, as it is a non-cash expense and is highly variable. For example, a cash salary generally has a fixed and unvarying cash cost. In contrast, the expense associated with an equity-based award is generally unrelated to the amount of cash ultimately received by the employee, and the cost to the Company is based on a share-based compensation valuation methodology and underlying assumptions that may vary over time.
  • The change in fair value of contingent consideration, which is related to Greenbacker’s acquisition of GCM and certain other affiliated companies, is excluded from Adjusted EBITDA, if any such change occurs during the period. The non-cash, mark-to-market adjustments are based on the expected achievement of revenue targets that are difficult to forecast and can be variable, making comparisons across historical and future quarters difficult to evaluate.
  • Other costs that are not consistently occurring, not reflective of expected future operating expense, and provide no insight into the fundamentals of current or past operations of our business are excluded from Adjusted EBITDA. This includes costs such as professional services and legal fees, some of which were incurred as part of the transition to non-investment company accounting, and other non-recurring costs unrelated to the ongoing operations of the Company.

FFO is calculated using Adjusted EBITDA less the impact of interest expense (excluding the non-cash component) and distributions to tax equity investors under the financing facilities associated with our IPP segment. The Company excludes these distributions as the underlying source of distribution (collection of a loan) is not recorded within Adjusted EBITDA and is therefore not a component of our earnings from operations.

The Company uses Segment Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate the financial performance of and allocate resources among our operating segments. Segment Adjusted EBITDA is determined for our segments consistent with the adjustments noted above but further excludes unallocated corporate expenses as these items are centrally controlled and are not directly attributable to any reportable segment.

The following table reconciles total Segment Adjusted EBITDA to Net loss attributable to Greenbacker Renewable Energy Company LLC:
