Algonquin Power & Utilities Corp. Announces 2025 First Quarter Financial Results; Plans to Host Investor Update Call on June 3
OAKVILLE, Ontario--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Algonquin Power & Utilities Corp. (TSX/NYSE: AQN) ('AQN' or the 'Company') announced today financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2025. All amounts are shown in United States dollars ('U.S. $' or '$'), unless otherwise noted. 'The Company recorded a constructive first quarter of 2025 with notable year-over-year improvements in our key financial metrics. Our results were solid, reflecting the strength of our core regulated utility operations, even when accounting for one-time items that contributed positive tailwinds,' said Rod West, Chief Executive Officer of AQN. 'Since stepping into the role in early March, I have quickly gotten up to speed and I am encouraged by the opportunities ahead. I look forward to providing a further investor update on June 3.' 1 AQN's operations are organized across two business units consisting of: 1) the Regulated Services Group, which primarily owns and operates a portfolio of regulated electric, water distribution and wastewater systems, and natural gas utility systems and transmission operations in the United States, Canada, Bermuda and Chile; and 2) the Hydro Group, which consists of hydroelectric generation facilities located in Canada that were not sold as part of the sale of the Company's renewable energy business. Additionally, the Company has a corporate function, the Corporate Group, consisting of corporate interest expense and shared services that primarily support the Regulated Services Group and the Hydro Group, in addition to holding certain ancillary investments. 2 Please refer to "Non-GAAP Measures" below for further details. Expand First Quarter 2025 Operational Results and Corporate Actions Regulated Services Group saw growth from implementation of new rates and a non-recurring depreciation true up — The Regulated Services Group recorded first quarter 2025 year-over-year growth in net earnings of approximately 43%, primarily due to the implementation of new rates at several of the Company's electric, water and gas utilities, as well as a favourable non-recurring $8.2 million depreciation true up related to constructive regulatory orders. The Company also benefited from reduced interest expense as a result of repayment of debt with the proceeds of the sale of the Company's renewable energy business (excluding hydro) and the sale of its 42.2% ownership stake in Atlantica Sustainable Infrastructure plc ("Atlantica"). First quarter net earnings positively impacted by additional non-recurring tax step-up — The Company benefited from a one-time $13.4 million income tax recovery stemming from a tax basis step-up during the Hydro Group's reorganization related to the sale of the Company's renewable energy business. Regulatory schedule progressing as the Company obtains conclusive orders in four separate rate cases — During the first quarter of 2025, the Company obtained conclusive orders, primarily by way of approved settlements, at its Midstates Gas (Missouri), Missouri Water, Arkansas Water and Granite State Electric utilities. Authorized revenue increases for these cases total approximately $22.3 million in aggregate. Corporate Group net earnings impacted due to sale of Atlantica — The Corporate Group's net earnings were negatively impacted by the sale of the Company's ownership stake in Atlantica and the loss of related dividends. The repayment of debt with the proceeds of the Atlantica sale contributed to interest expense reductions across the Regulated Services Group and Corporate Group segments, which partly offset the loss of Atlantica dividends. Sale of the renewable energy business marks key achievement in strategic transition to pure-play regulated utility — On January 8, 2025, the Company completed the sale of its renewable energy business (excluding hydro) to a wholly-owned subsidiary of LS Power for proceeds of approximately $2.1 billion, after subtracting taxes, transaction fees and other preliminary closing adjustments, including an adjustment for estimated remaining completion costs for in-construction assets. Approximately $1.95 billion of such proceeds were received upon the closing of the transaction and approximately $150 million of such proceeds are currently expected to be received at a later date in 2025 upon monetization of tax attributes on certain in-construction projects. Leadership transition supports AQN's ongoing transformation — On March 7, 2025, Roderick (Rod) West joined the Company as Chief Executive Officer, and Brian Chin, Vice President of Investor Relations, assumed the role of Interim Chief Financial Officer. A nationally recognized search firm has been engaged to assist in identifying a permanent Chief Financial Officer. Investor Update scheduled for June 3, 2025 — Consistent with comments made on the previous earnings call regarding an approximately 90-day review period for the incoming management team, the Company plans to hold an investor update on June 3, 2025, at 1:30 p.m. ET, hosted by Chief Executive Officer, Rod West, and Interim Chief Financial Officer and Vice President of Investor Relations, Brian Chin. The update is expected to include the Company's forward-looking financial outlook. Details for the call and accompanying webcast are below. AQN's unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2025, and management discussion & analysis for the three months ended March 31, 2025, (the "Interim MD&A") will be available on its website at and in its corporate filings on SEDAR+ at (for Canadian filings) and EDGAR at (for U.S. filings).

Caution Regarding Forward-Looking Information Certain statements included in this news release constitute ''forward-looking information'' within the meaning of applicable securities laws in each of the provinces and territories of Canada and the respective policies, regulations and rules under such laws and ''forward-looking statements'' within the meaning of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (collectively, ''forward-looking statements'). The words 'will', 'expects', 'plans", and 'seeks' (and grammatical variations of such terms) and similar expressions are often intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. Specific forward-looking statements in this news release include, but are not limited to, statements regarding: expectations regarding rate cases, including the expected outcomes thereof; expectations regarding the proceeds from the sale of the Company's renewable energy business; and expectations and plans regarding an investor update currently scheduled for June 3, 2025. These statements are based on factors or assumptions that were applied in drawing a conclusion or making a forecast or projection, including assumptions based on historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments. Since forward-looking statements relate to future events and conditions, by their very nature they require making assumptions and involve inherent risks and uncertainties. AQN cautions that although it is believed that the assumptions are reasonable in the circumstances, these risks and uncertainties give rise to the possibility that actual results may differ materially from the expectations set out in the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements contained herein are provided for the purposes of assisting in understanding the Company and its business, operations, risks, financial performance, financial position and cash flows as at and for the periods indicated and to present information about management's current expectations and plans relating to the future and such information may not be appropriate for other purposes. Material risk factors and assumptions include those set out in AQN's annual information form and annual management discussion & analysis, each for the year ended December 31, 2024, and Interim MD&A, each of which is or will be available on SEDAR+ and EDGAR. Given these risks, undue reliance should not be placed on these forward-looking statements, which apply only as of their dates. Other than as specifically required by law, AQN undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect new information, subsequent or otherwise. Non-GAAP Measures AQN uses a number of financial measures to assess the performance of its business lines. Some measures are calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("U.S. GAAP"), while other measures do not have a standardized meaning under U.S. GAAP. These non-GAAP measures include non-GAAP financial measures and non-GAAP ratios, each as defined in Canadian National Instrument 52-112 – Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures Disclosure. AQN's method of calculating these measures may differ from methods used by other companies and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. The term 'Adjusted Net Earnings', which is used in this news release, is a non-GAAP financial measure. An explanation of this non-GAAP financial measure can be found in the section titled "Caution Concerning Non-GAAP Measures" in the Interim MD&A, which section is incorporated by reference into this news release, and a reconciliation to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure can be found below. In addition, 'Adjusted Net Earnings' is presented in this news release on a per common share basis. Adjusted Net Earnings per common share is a non-GAAP ratio and is calculated by dividing Adjusted Net Earnings by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the applicable period. Reconciliation of Adjusted Net Earnings to Net Earnings The following table is derived from and should be read in conjunction with the unaudited interim condensed consolidated statement of operations. This supplementary disclosure is intended to more fully explain disclosures related to Adjusted Net Earnings and provides additional information related to the operating performance of AQN. Investors are cautioned that this measure should not be construed as an alternative to U.S. GAAP consolidated net earnings.

Additionally, the Company has a corporate function, the Corporate Group, consisting of corporate and shared services that primarily support the Regulated Services Group and the Hydro Group, in addition to holding certain ancillary investments. 2 Please refer to 'Non-GAAP Measures' below for further details. 3 Discontinued Operations Revenue for the three months and twelve months ended December 31, 2024 totaled $99.2 million and $339.7 million, respectively, versus $81.1 million and $294.1 million for the three months and twelve months ended December 31, 2023. Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2024 Operational Results and Corporate Actions Regulated Services Group saw growth from implementation of new rates, offset primarily by higher operating expenses – The Regulated Services Group recorded fourth quarter and full year 2024 year-over-year growth in Adjusted EBITDA of 2% and 4%, respectively (see 'Non-GAAP Measures' below), primarily due to the implementation of new rates at several of the Company's electric, water and gas utilities. Rate increases were partially offset by higher operating expenses including expenses related to systems conversion, residual costs to support the renewable energy business. Fourth quarter and full year operating costs were negatively impacted by $3.6 million and $18.0 million in non-recurring costs, respectively. Earnings per share reduced as Company repositions for pure-play regulated utility strategy – In addition to the factors described above, year over year Adjusted Net Earnings per common share (see 'Non-GAAP Measures' below) were also negatively affected by the sale of the Company's 42.2% ownership stake in Atlantica Sustainable Infrastructure plc ('Atlantica'), higher borrowing costs to fund growth, higher effective tax rates, and the settlement of the purchase contracts underlying the Company's green equity units. Midstates Gas Illinois, Midstates Gas Missouri, New Brunswick Gas, Missouri Water and Arkansas Water receive conclusive orders – During the fourth quarter and shortly after year end, the Company reached or substantially reached conclusions in five separate rate cases, primarily via approved settlements. Authorized revenue increases for these cases in aggregate total approximately $21.2 million. Active rate case calendar continues – In the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company filed for new rates at its Empire Electric Missouri and St. Lawrence Gas utilities. The Empire Electric Missouri application, refiled on February 26, 2025, seeks a net increase in revenues of $92.1 million based on a return on equity ('ROE') of 10% and an equity ratio of 53.1%. The St. Lawrence Gas application, filed on November 27, 2024, seeks an increase in revenues of $2.2 million based on an ROE of 9.9% and an equity ratio of 48%. Sale of investment in Atlantica – On December 12, 2024, Liberty (AY Holdings) B.V., a wholly-owned subsidiary of AQN, sold its 42.2% equity interest in Atlantica for $22.00 per share in cash. The Company used the approximately $1.1 billion in net proceeds from the sale to reduce debt. Subsequent Events Sale of the Renewable Energy Business marks key achievement in strategic transition to pure-play regulated utility – On January 8, 2025, the Company completed the sale of its renewable energy business (excluding its hydro fleet) to a wholly-owned subsidiary of LS Power for proceeds of approximately $2.1 billion, after subtracting taxes, transaction fees and other preliminary closing adjustments, including an adjustment for estimated remaining completion costs for in-construction assets. Approximately $1.95 billion of such proceeds were received upon the closing of the transaction and approximately $150 million of such proceeds are currently expected to be received at a later date in 2025 upon monetization of tax attributes on certain in-construction projects. Additionally, the Company can receive up to $220 million in cash pursuant to an earn out agreement relating to certain wind assets. AQN expects to use the net proceeds received in 2025 to pay down existing debt and strengthen its balance sheet. Leadership transition supports AQN's ongoing transformation – On January 31, 2025, the Company announced that Roderick (Rod) West will join the Company as Chief Executive Officer. Mr. West's appointment will be effective as of 12:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on March 7, 2025.

Additionally, the Company has a corporate function, the Corporate Group, consisting of corporate and shared services that primarily support the Regulated Services Group and the Hydro Group, in addition to holding certain ancillary investments. 2 Please refer to "Non-GAAP Measures" below for further details. 3 Discontinued Operations Revenue for the three months and twelve months ended December 31, 2024 totaled $99.2 million and $339.7 million, respectively, versus $81.1 million and $294.1 million for the three months and twelve months ended December 31, 2023. Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2024 Operational Results and Corporate Actions Regulated Services Group saw growth from implementation of new rates, offset primarily by higher operating expenses – The Regulated Services Group recorded fourth quarter and full year 2024 year-over-year growth in Adjusted EBITDA of 2% and 4%, respectively (see "Non-GAAP Measures" below), primarily due to the implementation of new rates at several of the Company's electric, water and gas utilities. Rate increases were partially offset by higher operating expenses including expenses related to systems conversion, residual costs to support the renewable energy business. Fourth quarter and full year operating costs were negatively impacted by $3.6 million and $18.0 million in non-recurring costs, respectively. Earnings per share reduced as Company repositions for pure-play regulated utility strategy – In addition to the factors described above, year over year Adjusted Net Earnings per common share (see "Non-GAAP Measures" below) were also negatively affected by the sale of the Company's 42.2% ownership stake in Atlantica Sustainable Infrastructure plc ("Atlantica"), higher borrowing costs to fund growth, higher effective tax rates, and the settlement of the purchase contracts underlying the Company's green equity units. Midstates Gas Illinois, Midstates Gas Missouri, New Brunswick Gas, Missouri Water and Arkansas Water receive conclusive orders – During the fourth quarter and shortly after year end, the Company reached or substantially reached conclusions in five separate rate cases, primarily via approved settlements. Authorized revenue increases for these cases in aggregate total approximately $21.2 million. Active rate case calendar continues – In the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company filed for new rates at its Empire Electric Missouri and St. Lawrence Gas utilities. The Empire Electric Missouri application, refiled on February 26, 2025, seeks a net increase in revenues of $92.1 million based on a return on equity ("ROE") of 10% and an equity ratio of 53.1%. The St. Lawrence Gas application, filed on November 27, 2024, seeks an increase in revenues of $2.2 million based on an ROE of 9.9% and an equity ratio of 48%. Sale of investment in Atlantica – On December 12, 2024, Liberty (AY Holdings) B.V., a wholly-owned subsidiary of AQN, sold its 42.2% equity interest in Atlantica for $22.00 per share in cash. The Company used the approximately $1.1 billion in net proceeds from the sale to reduce debt. Subsequent Events Sale of the Renewable Energy Business marks key achievement in strategic transition to pure-play regulated utility – On January 8, 2025, the Company completed the sale of its renewable energy business (excluding its hydro fleet) to a wholly-owned subsidiary of LS Power for proceeds of approximately $2.1 billion, after subtracting taxes, transaction fees and other preliminary closing adjustments, including an adjustment for estimated remaining completion costs for in-construction assets. Approximately $1.95 billion of such proceeds were received upon the closing of the transaction and approximately $150 million of such proceeds are currently expected to be received at a later date in 2025 upon monetization of tax attributes on certain in-construction projects. Additionally, the Company can receive up to $220 million in cash pursuant to an earn out agreement relating to certain wind assets. AQN expects to use the net proceeds received in 2025 to pay down existing debt and strengthen its balance sheet. Leadership transition supports AQN's ongoing transformation – On January 31, 2025, the Company announced that Roderick (Rod) West will join the Company as Chief Executive Officer. Mr. West's appointment will be effective as of 12:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on March 7, 2025. Chris Huskilson will step down as Chief Executive Officer and will continue in his role as a director of the Company. In addition, on January 14, 2025, the Company announced that Darren Myers will resign as Chief Financial Officer following the reporting of the Company's fourth quarter 2024 results. The Company has commenced a search for a permanent Chief Financial Officer. In the meantime, on February 14, 2025, the Company announced that Brian Chin, the Company's Vice President, Investor Relations, will be appointed as Interim Chief Financial Officer, effective March 7, 2025.

Caution Regarding Forward-Looking Information Certain statements included in this news release constitute "forward-looking information" within the meaning of applicable securities laws in each of the provinces and territories of Canada and the respective policies, regulations and rules under such laws and "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (collectively, "forward-looking statements"). The words "will", "intends", "expects", "looks", and "seeks" (and grammatical variations of such terms) and similar expressions are often intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. Specific forward-looking statements in this news release include, but are not limited to, statements regarding: expectations regarding rate cases, including the expected outcomes thereof; and expectations regarding the proceeds from the sale of the Company's renewable energy business and the expected use thereof. These statements are based on factors or assumptions that were applied in drawing a conclusion or making a forecast or projection, including assumptions based on historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments. Since forward-looking statements relate to future events and conditions, by their very nature they require making assumptions and involve inherent risks and uncertainties. AQN cautions that although it is believed that the assumptions are reasonable in the circumstances, these risks and uncertainties give rise to the possibility that actual results may differ materially from the expectations set out in the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements contained herein are provided for the purposes of assisting in understanding the Company and its business, operations, risks, financial performance, financial position and cash flows as at and for the periods indicated and to present information about management's current expectations and plans relating to the future and such information may not be appropriate for other purposes. Material risk factors and assumptions include those set out in AQN's Annual Information Form and Annual MD&A for the year ended December 31, 2024, each of which is or will be available on SEDAR+ and EDGAR. Given these risks, undue reliance should not be placed on these forward-looking statements, which apply only as of their dates. Other than as specifically required by law, AQN undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect new information, subsequent or otherwise. Non-GAAP Measures AQN uses a number of financial measures to assess the performance of its business lines. Some measures are calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("U.S. GAAP"), while other measures do not have a standardized meaning under U.S. GAAP. These non-GAAP measures include non-GAAP financial measures and non-GAAP ratios, each as defined in Canadian National Instrument 52-112 – Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures Disclosure. AQN's method of calculating these measures may differ from methods used by other companies and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. The terms "Adjusted Net Earnings", "Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization" (or "Adjusted EBITDA"), "Adjusted Funds from Operations", and "Net Utility Sales", which are used in this news release, are non-GAAP financial measures. An explanation of each of these non-GAAP financial measures can be found in the section titled "Caution Concerning Non-GAAP Measures" in the Annual MD&A, which section is incorporated by reference into this news release, and a reconciliation to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure, in each case, can be found below. In addition, "Adjusted Net Earnings" is presented in this news release on a per common share basis. Adjusted Net Earnings per common share is a non-GAAP ratio and is calculated by dividing Adjusted Net Earnings by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the applicable period. Reconciliation of AQN Adjusted EBITDA to Net Earnings The following table is derived from and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated statement of operations. This supplementary disclosure is intended to more fully explain disclosures related to AQN Adjusted EBITDA and provides additional information related to the operating performance of AQN.
