“We are pleased to announce another solid quarter marked by 15.2% revenue growth and 114.8% increase in net income year-over-year,” said Doron Blachar, Ormat’s Chief Executive Officer. “During the second quarter, we made significant progress in expanding our operations across our segments, adding approximately 100 MW of total capacity in geothermal, solar, and storage assets throughout the quarter. Additionally, we are encouraged by the initial outcome of our recent drilling campaigns in Olkaria and Puna and we are expecting an increase in generation by year-end at both power plants. Our Products segment has displayed a notable recovery in revenues, reflecting our ability to deliver into positive market trends.”
Blachar continued, "In the Electricity segment, we successfully commenced construction of a 50MW geothermal project in New Zealand, in addition to the 10MW expansion of our Bouillant power plant in Guadeloupe following significant progress in PPA discussions. In our Storage segment, we started construction on three battery storage facilities, the 35MW/140MWh Arrowleaf project in California and two projects in Texas with a combined capacity of 120MW/240MWh. Each of these projects are expected to be operational by the end of 2025, allowing us to take advantage of the recent decline in battery prices. Given the momentum of these successful expansion efforts, we are excited to increase our year-end 2025 growth target from an initial range of 1.8 GW- 1.86 GW to 1.9 GW - 2.0 GW.”
“Looking ahead, we are witnessing increasing demand globally for geothermal energy, but specifically in the US where PPA prices continue to rise. Ormat is well-positioned to capture the growth opportunities in the renewable energy sector, and the strategic actions we have taken will continue to strengthen our position," stated Blachar. “As we move into the second half of the year, we anticipate further value accretion from the provisions of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), especially through ITCs and PTCs. These associated tax credits will drive net income and earnings growth going forward.”
FINANCIAL AND RECENT BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS
2023 GUIDANCE
The Company provides a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, and 2022. However, the Company does not provide guidance on net income and is unable to provide a reconciliation for its Adjusted EBITDA guidance range to net income without unreasonable efforts, due to high variability and complexity with respect to estimating certain forward-looking amounts. These include impairments and disposition and acquisition of business interests, income tax expense, and other non-cash expenses and adjusting items that are excluded from the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA.
DIVIDEND
On August 2, 2023, the Company’s Board of Directors declared, approved, and authorized payment of a quarterly dividend of $0.12 per share pursuant to the Company’s dividend policy. The dividend will be paid on August 30, 2023, to stockholders of record as of the close of business on August 16, 2023. In addition, the Company expects to pay a quarterly dividend of $0.12 per share in the next quarter.

Reconciliation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
For the Three- and Six-Month Periods Ended June 30, 2023, and 2022
We calculate EBITDA as net income before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and accretion. We calculate Adjusted EBITDA as net income before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and accretion, adjusted for (i) mark-to-market gains or losses from accounting for derivatives, (ii) stock-based compensation, (iii) merger and acquisition transaction costs, (iv) gain or loss from extinguishment of liabilities, (v) cost related to a settlement agreement, (vi) non-cash impairment charges; (vii) write-off of unsuccessful exploration activities; and (viii) other unusual or non-recurring items. We adjust for these factors as they may be non-cash, unusual in nature and/or are not factors used by management for evaluating operating performance. We believe that presentation of these measures will enhance an investor’s ability to evaluate our financial and operating performance. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not measurements of financial performance or liquidity under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or U.S. GAAP, and should not be considered as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities or as a measure of liquidity or an alternative to net earnings as indicators of our operating performance or any other measures of performance derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Our Board of Directors and senior management use EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate our financial performance. However, other companies in our industry may calculate EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do.
Starting in the fourth quarter of 2022, we include accretion expenses related to asset retirement obligation in the adjustments to net income when calculating EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA. The presentation of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA includes accretion expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, however, the prior year has not been recast to include accretion expenses as the amounts were immaterial.
The following table reconciles net income to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for the three-and-six-month periods ended June 30, 2023, and 2022:
