Enlight Renewable Energy Reports Year-End 2022 Financial Results

All of the amounts disclosed in this press release are in U.S. dollars unless otherwise noted

TEL AVIV, Israel, March 15, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Enlight Renewable Energy Ltd. (NASDAQ: ENLT, TASE: ENLT) today reported financial results for the full year ended December 31, 2022.

The Company’s annually earnings materials and a link to the earnings webcast, which begins 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/

“We delivered record results in 2022, with revenue up 88% and Adjusted EBITDA* up 96% demonstrating our deep track record of converting projects under development through to construction and operations. We succeeded in bringing over 800 MW to operation, commenced construction on 630 MW of generation and 1.7 GWh of energy storage, and expanded our overall Mature Project portfolio1 by 0.9GW. The entirety of our Mature Project portfolio, including 4.5 GW of generation and 2.7 GWh of energy storage globally, is expected to reach commercial operation by the end of 2025, providing us with a clear path on the future of our business,” said Gilad Yavetz, CEO of Enlight Renewable Energy.

“Enlight is a global renewable energy leader with operations and projects in the United States, Europe and Israel. We have been a top performing publicly traded company in Israel for the past decade and we believe the proceeds from our recent initial public offering in the United States will accelerate our growth, particularly in the United States, where, to our knowledge, we are now the first publicly traded pure-play greenfield renewable energy developer,” Yavetz added. “With the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act in the U.S. and a supportive regulatory backdrop in Europe, we believe we are well positioned to deliver both rapid growth and above-market project returns. We are therefore increasing our annual project deployment guidance from 2026 and beyond to 1.5 GW per year, as we believe we are very well positioned to strategically capture the largest and most attractive renewable energy opportunities across our markets.”

Highlights

  • FY 2022 Revenue of $192m, Adjusted EBITDA* of $130m, and Net Income of $38m, up 88%, 96% and 76% year over year, respectively. The company also generated $18m of proceeds from the sale of electricity which were not recognized as revenue or included in Adjusted EBITDA under the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) for projects treated as Financial Assets.2
  • Record quarterly Revenue of $61m and Adjusted EBITDA3 of $43m, growing 74% and 99%, respectively, year over year. The company also generated $2m of proceeds from the sale of electricity which were not recognized as revenue or included in Adjusted EBITDA, for projects treated as Financial Assets2.
  • Robust near-term growth, supported by 1.4 GW of operational projects with an additional 1 GW of generation and 1.7 GWh of storage capacity of projects under construction.
  • Significant increase to our Mature Project portfolio in the fourth quarter of 2022, growing by 14% to 4.5 GW of generation and 2.7 GWh of storage, all of which is expected to reach commercial operation date (“COD”) by year end 2025.
  • $271m net proceeds raised in an initial public offering in the United States in February 2023.
  • Strong full year 2023 Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA3 guidance, with an increase of 54% over 2022 revenues and 48% over 2022 Adjusted EBITDA at the midpoint, driven by projects which have become operational in H2 2022 and additional projects that are expected to begin operations over the course of 2023.
  • Medium term project deployment guidance updated to 1.5 GW of project additions per year in 2026 and beyond, compared to previous guidance of 1-1.2 GW a year

For the fourth quarter of 2022, the Company’s revenues increased to $61m up from $35m in the same period in 2021. The growth was mainly driven by the addition of new projects, including Gecama, Emek Habacha and Selac, which contributed an additional $32m in the fourth quarter and the recognition of all proceeds from the sale of electricity by the Halutziot project as revenue following its reclassification out of Financial Asset, which contributed an additional $2m to revenue in the fourth quarter. These positive impacts were partially offset by lower production and non-recurring events which reduced availability of the facilities, which had a $6m impact, and weaker currency exchange rates (“FX”), which had a $3m impact. In addition, we sold $2m of electricity in projects treated as financial assets in the quarter, which under IFRS we are required to account for as financing income or other non-P&L metrics.

For the full year 2022, the Company’s revenues were $192m versus $102m in the full year 2021. The increase in revenue was mainly driven by the addition of new projects, which contributed an additional $86m, the reclassification of Halutziot, which contributed an additional $12m, and $2m from power purchase agreement (“PPA”) inflation indexation. These positive impacts were partially offset by lower production and certain events which reduced availability, that had an $8m impact and weaker FX which had a $6m impact. In addition, we sold $18m of electricity for projects treated as financial assets in 2022, which under IFRS we are required to account for as financing income or other non-P&L metrics.

The financial contribution of the Company’s segments is now well balanced between Western Europe, Central-Eastern Europe (“CEE”) and Israel, with 71% of revenues in the fourth quarter of 2022 denominated in Euros, 8% in other European currencies and 21% of revenues denominated in Israeli shekel. Following completion of the Company’s first project in the United States, which is expected to come online by the end of the first half of 2023, the Company’s revenue will also include substantial revenues denominated in U.S. dollars.

Adjusted EBITDA*

In the fourth quarter of 2022, the Company’s Adjusted EBITDA almost doubled to $43m compared to $22m for the same period in 2021. The increase was driven by the same factors which affected our revenue increase in the same period.

For the full year 2022, the Company’s Adjusted EBITDA also nearly doubled to $130m compared to $66m in 2021. The increase was driven by the same factors which affected our revenue increase in the same period and was offset by an additional $8m from corporate overhead expenses.

Portfolio Overview3

The Company continues to accelerate the progress of its project portfolio through the conversion of Development Projects4 into Mature Projects and through the progression of Mature Projects from pre-construction to construction and ultimately operations.

Portfolio Overview

Key changes to the Company’s projects portfolio compared to the third quarter of 2022

  • 0.5 GW and 1.5 GWh commenced construction in the fourth quarter, including the following projects: Atrisco Solar and Solar + Storage 2.
  • 0.9 GW entered into pre-construction in the fourth quarter, including the following projects: Co Bar Phase 2 (from Advanced Development) and Rustic Hills 1 & 2 (from Contracted).
  • Overall, our Mature Project portfolio grew by 0.5 GW and 0.6 GWh, a 14% increase, driven by the addition of Co Bar Phase 2.
  • Increase in Advanced Development portfolio by 1.1 GW.

United States

The Company is executing successfully across its US project portfolio. Focus continues to be progressing a large volume of projects to maturity through the development process.

Apex Solar (located in Montana) is progressing as planned. COD is expected by the end of the first half of 2023.

Atrisco Solar (located in New Mexico and totaling 360 MW solar and 1,200 MWh storage) commenced construction during the fourth quarter 2022. Major equipment is ordered and the construction agreement executed. All interconnection studies are complete. The draft interconnection agreement is underway and expected to be signed in April. The Company is advancing negotiations with financing providers (debt and tax equity). There are strong potential benefits for Atrisco under the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), including PTC on solar tax equity and the possibility of a domestic content adder on the energy storage system. COD is expected by mid-2024.

The Company has made significant progress on one of the largest projects in its portfolio, CO Bar (located in Arizona and totaling 1,200 MW solar and 824 MWh storage). The initial 580MW of solar is contracted and the remaining capacity including storage is in advanced negotiation with offtakers. The project has secured its primary real estate and conditional use permit (CUP). The system impact study (SIS) is complete and the facilities study is nearing completion. CO Bar is expected to start construction in the second half of 2023 and achieve COD in phases through 2025. Like Atrisco, the CO Bar project potentially stands to benefit from the IRA, including PTC on solar tax equity and the possibility of a domestic content adder on the battery energy storage system. There is further potential to contract an additional 3.2 GWh of storage at CO Bar in the future.

With respect to the supply chain, the Company continues to de-risk its project portfolio. The Company executed an agreement with Waaree for up to 2 GW of modules with delivery through 2025. Together with other module procurement contracts, the Company has clarity on meeting module supply needs for its mature project portfolio in the United States.

Amidst increasing interconnection queue congestion across the United States, the Company continues to see strong interconnection results, which it attributes to its advanced portfolio and market specific knowledge. In the fourth quarter of 2022, the Company increased the projects beyond system impact study (known interconnection cost and timeline) by approximately 2 GW. With more than 8.4 GW of projects past system impact study, the Company believes it is positioned to accelerate its growth in the United States.

Europe

The Company continues to benefit from the significant demand for power across Europe. Despite declining natural gas prices, natural gas remains significantly above historical price levels. Moreover, the steep increase in recent months in the price of carbon, recently eclipsing 100 Euros per ton, has kept thermal generation expensive. For example, in the fourth quarter of 2022, Gecama (Spain) benefited from an average net price of 115 EUR/MWh, 82% of which was hedged.

Project Bjorn (Sweden), one of the largest onshore wind farms in Europe, totaling 372 MW continues to progress with 26 turbines operational (out of 60) as of the date of this release. 52 turbines are fully erected. In Sweden, the Company is able to generate revenues from the sale of electricity for operational turbines even before the project reaches full COD. The Company expects Bjorn to reach full COD by the end of the first half of 2023.

On the development front, Gecama Solar, a 250 MW solar and 200 MWh storage project advances as planned. With real estate and interconnection already secured, the project awaits its environmental and construction permit. Construction is expected to commence by the end of H2 2023 with COD expected by year end 2024.

Israel

In the fourth quarter the Company commenced construction on the project called Solar + Storage 2, totaling 163 MW and 328 MWh of storage. Negotiations of corporate power purchase agreements negotiations are ongoing with COD expected in 2024.

In addition, Genesis Wind, the largest renewable energy project in Israel totaling 189 MW has completed erection of all its wind turbines. Commissioning tests have begun with COD expected in the second half of 2023.

The Company also recently signed definitive agreements with NewMed Energy (TASE: MWND) and its CEO, Yossi Abu, to invest in renewable energy projects across the Middle East & North Africa. Although entering this agreement does not result in an immediate financial affect on the Company, the Company believes that there is a unique opportunity to develop attractive renewable energy projects of significant scale in the region, particularly across Egypt, Jordan and Morocco, which are markets adjacent to Enlight’s current geographic footprint (Israel and Spain).

Balance Sheet and Funding

The Company benefits from a strong liquidity position with the vast majority of its cash held in Euros or U.S. dollars. As of December 31, 2022, but including cash received in the U.S. IPO, 81% of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents was held in U.S. dollars or Euros, with a minimal exposure to the Israeli shekel. The Company has no exposure to Silicon Valley Bank.

2023 Financial Outlook

“We are pleased to introduce Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA guidance for 2023 based on our current operational portfolio and expected conversions to operations over the course of the year. We note that our Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA guidance does not include certain proceeds from the sale of electricity for our projects treated as Financial Assets. Similarly, our Adjusted EBITDA outlook does not include tax credits expected to be recognized upon COD of Apex Solar. We benefit as a well-capitalized and diversified group, and demand for renewable energy continues to increase globally,” said Nir Yehuda, Enlight Renewable Energy’s Chief Financial Officer.

  • Revenue for fiscal year 2023 between $290m and $300m,
  • Adjusted EBITDA* for fiscal year 2023 between $188m and $198m
  • $15m proceeds from the sale of electricity with respect to projects treated as Financial Assets which are not recognized as revenue nor included in Adjusted EBITDA
  • 1,759 MW operational by year end 2023

* 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, U.S. acquisition expense, 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.

Conference Call Information

Enlight plans to hold its Fourth Quarter 2022 Conference Call and Webcast on Wednesday, March 15, 2023 at 8:00 a.m. ET to review its financial results and business outlook. Management will deliver prepared remarks followed by a question-and-answer session. Participants can join by conference call or webcast:

The press release with the financial results as well as the investor presentation materials will be accessible from the Company’s website prior to the conference call. Approximately one hour after completion of the live call, an archived version of the webcast will be available on the Company’s investor relations website at https://enlightenergy.co.il/info/investors/.

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. As such, we encourage investors, the media, and others to follow the channels listed above, and to review the information disclosed through such channels.

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 non-IFRS 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 adjusted for depreciation and amortization, share based compensation, U.S. acquisition expense, other income, finance income, finance expenses, share of losses of equity accounted investees and taxes on income. 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.

1 Mature Projects include projects which are operational, under construction, in pre-construction (due to commence construction within 12 months as of March 15, 2023 (the “Approval Date”)) and projects with signed PPAs.
2 Pursuant to IFRS, if the government controls and regulates the licensing arrangements for a renewable energy facility and the license term is similar to the facility’s useful life, the facility is viewed, from an accounting perspective, as if it has been transferred to the government’s ownership. Although when evaluating our performance, such a project is like any other renewable energy project we own, from an accounting perspective, it is treated as “Financial Asset”, whereby we are considered strictly as a contractor during both the construction period and operating period.
3 As of the Approval Date.
4 Development Projects comprise Advanced Development (projects which are expected to begin construction within 13 to 24 months of the Approval Date) and Development (the rest of the projects in the development process).
