Raising full year guidance range

The results of Enlight’s operations during the third quarter and first nine months of 2024 have been excellent. Revenues and EBITDA have been higher than our expectations after achieving sound operational performance. As a result, we are raising our full year guidance ranges for 2024. We now expect 2024 revenues in the range of $355-$370m from $345-$360m previously, and adjusted EBITDA1 in the range of $255-$270m from $245-$260m previously. This represents an increase of $10m from previous midpoints of both revenues and Adjusted EBITDA, and further demonstrates our confidence in the positive trends and strong growth in all areas of our business.

Third Quarter Business Developments

• Excellent operational performance at Israel and European wind sites leads to very high growth in revenues and adjusted EBITDA. Generation volumes up 11% year on year from existing projects.
• CODs achieved at projects Atrisco Solar in the U.S. (364 MW) and Solar and Storage in Israel (55 MW & 160 MWh); representing $28-31m in revenues and $20-23m in EBITDA on a first full year basis. Atrisco Energy Storage COD is expected in the coming weeks, representing an additional $32-33m in revenues and $27-28m in EBITDA on a first full year basis
• Construction has begun at projects Country Acres, Quail Ranch, and Roadrunner, (810 MW & 2.0 GWh in total) all located in the western U.S. These projects represent a combined $132-141m in revenues and $108-114 m in EBITDA on a first full year basis, and are expected to reach COD in 2025-26.
• Project Snowflake A, with 600 MW solar generation and 1.9 GWh energy storage capacity is being introduced into the Mature phase Portfolio at Pre-construction status. Located in Arizona, it is expected to begin construction in 3Q 2025 and reach COD in mid-2027. The project was drawn from the Company’s Advanced Development phase Portfolio, and is expected to generate $115-125m in revenues and $95-105m in EBITDA on a first full year basis.
• A new power purchase agreement (“PPA”) was recently signed with Arizona Public Service for Snowflake A. The busbar fixed price agreement encompasses the project’s full solar and energy storage capacity for a duration of 20 years.
• Operational portfolio grew by 418 MW and 191 MWh. 600 MW and 1,650 MWhadded to the Mature phasePortfolio since the last quarter’s earnings report.

“We are proud of another set of excellent financial results for Enlight, as well another increase in our 2024 guidance ranges for the second consecutive quarter this year,” said Gilad Yavetz, CEO of Enlight Renewable Energy.

“Enlight continues to grow in a balanced manner with the force multiplier of our diversification in three geographies and technologies creating a particularly powerful growth matrix. Construction is starting on three major projects in the US which are expected to reach completion in 2025-26. We have also announced the acceleration of development of Snowflake A, which will be another leap forward for Enlight. Next year, we expect the U.S. to reach 15% of the company's total revenues.

“Industry and macro fundamentals are supportive across all the geographies in which we are present. Demand for electricity is soaring, and as renewable energy is the main response to this need in the coming years, we remain optimistic about our growth and expansion plans.”

In the third quarter of 2024, the Company’s revenues increased to $109m, up from $58m last year, a growth rate of 88% year over year. The Company benefited from the revenue contribution of newly operational projects, as well as higher revenues from existing projects.

Since the third quarter of 2023, 823 MW and 536 MWh of projects were connected to the grid and began selling electricity, including Genesis Wind in Israel, nine of the Solar & Storage Cluster units in Israel, Tapolca in Hungary, and Atrisco in the U.S, which only began selling electricity at the end of the quarter. The most important of these is Genesis Wind which contributed $15m to revenue, followed by the Israel Storage and Solar Cluster, which added an additional $16m. In total, new projects contributed $33m.

The Company also benefited from high production levels at selected existing sites, as well as the full ramp-up of other newly operational projects. Overall generation output in 3Q24 from existing projects rose 11%, contributing $6m, while improved merchant pricing contributed $3m to current quarter revenues. Apex Solar in the U.S, Björnberget in Sweden, and AC/DC in Hungary operated at full capacity during 3Q24 compared to partial operations last year, while the final components of the Solar and Storage Cluster in Israel came online earlier than anticipated.

Prices at projects where electricity is sold under a merchant model were strong during the third quarter. Gecama revenues increased 40% year over year to $18m as the project benefited from positive pricing and production trends. We sold electricity at an average of EUR 96 per MWh versus EUR 76 per MWh for the same period last year, while production volumes increased 8% year over year.

Revenues were distributed between MENA, Europe, and the US, with 51% of revenues in the third quarter of 2024 denominated in Israeli Shekel, 39% in Euros, and 6% in denominated US Dollars. With project Atrisco expected to be fully operational in the coming weeks, we expect approximately 15% of revenues to come from the U.S. in 2025, adding more balance and diversification to Enlight’s revenues.

Net Income

In the third quarter, the Company’s net income amounted to $24m compared to $26m last year, a decrease of 7% year over year. New projects and existing operations added $13m to net income. This was reduced by a $4m loss on the revaluation of foreign currency assets due to volatility in the Shekel/Dollar rate during the quarter, and can be contrasted with a $6m non-cash profit in 3Q23 on the mark to market of interest rate hedges linked to Atrisco’s financial close.

In addition, a number of one-off items occurred in both this quarter and the same period last year. In 3Q24 the Company recorded a $7m net profit stemming from the recalculation of earnout payments linked to the acquisition of Clenera, as well as $8m in compensation from Siemens linked to inadequate performance of turbines at the Björnberget project in Sweden. In 3Q23, the Company recorded a $9m net profit stemming from the recalculation of earnout payments linked to the acquisition of Clenera, as well as $7m profit from the sale of non-core assets in the U.S.

Adjusted EBITDA2

In the third quarter of 2024, the Company’s Adjusted EBITDA grew by 86% to $88m compared to $47m for the same period in 2023. The increase in EBITDA was driven by the same factors that drove the revenue increase, namely new and already operating projects, contributing $49m. This was offset by an additional $9m in higher operating expenses linked to new projects, while company overheads rose by $3m year-on-year. In addition, we received $10m in compensation from Siemens linked to inadequate performance of turbines at the Björnberget project in Sweden. Finally, we note that Adjusted EBITDA in 3Q23 benefitted from $8m in one-off profit from the sale of non-core assets in the U.S.

Portfolio Overview3

Key changes to the Company’s project portfolio during the third quarter of 2024:

• Operational portfolio grew by 418 MW and 191 MWh
• Mature phase portfolio grew by 604 MW and 1,657 MWh

Portfolio Overview

________________________3 As of November 12, 2024, the “Approval Date”

Enlight US

Revenues of $5m. Operating capacity of 470 MW, increasing from 106 MW in 3Q23.

Enlight has significantly increased its investment into the United States during 2024, making this region an important source of installed capacity expansion as well as growth in future earnings for the Company. Equipment costs remain low, supporting our project returns. Despite new AD/CVD regulations, we maintain a steady source of PV panel supply, procuring equipment from India and non-affected Southeast Asian countries.

Our flagship Atrisco solar and energy storage project, with 364 MW of solar capacity and 1.2 GWh of battery storage located in New Mexico, completed construction during the quarter. The solar component achieved full COD in October, and COD for the energy storage component is expected in the coming weeks. When fully commenced, Atrisco is expected to generate $51-55m in revenues and $41-45m in EBITDA during its first full year of operation. We continued to take further strides in building out our US presence during the quarter as three projects entered into construction. Quail Ranch has attained all required permits and site work is expected to begin by the end of this year, while engineering operations and site works are already underway at Roadrunner and Country Acres. Together, these three projects comprise of 810 MW solar generation and over 2 GWh of energy storage capacity, and are expected to generate $132-141m in revenues and $108-114m in EBITDA during their first full year of operation.

Snowflake A enters the Mature Phase Portfolio

Project Snowflake A, a solar project located near Holbrook, Arizona, is being introduced into the Mature phase Portfolio at Pre-construction status. This new addition is another example of Enlight’s ability to convert high-quality assets from its large Advanced Development phase Portfolio into projects ready for construction.

The project has a capacity of 600 MW solar generation and 1.9 GWh energy storage capacity, and a busbar fixed price PPA has recently been signed with Arizona Public Service encompassing Snowflake A’s full generation and storage capacity for a duration of 20 years. The project is in the final stages of pre-construction permitting, and assuming all necessary permits are obtained, is expected to reach ready-to-build (RTB) status in the third quarter of 2025 and commence commercial operation (COD) in mid-2027. The PPA provides that if a certain required permit is not obtained by March 1, 2025, Enlight is entitled to terminate the PPA without any material termination costs.

Snowflake A is one of the most significant projects in Enlight's portfolio, both in terms of size and profitability. The total project cost is expected to reach between $1.50-1.57bn, with the contribution from investment tax credits expected to be $625-657m, resulting in a total project cost net of tax credits of $873-917m. Snowflake A is expected to generate $115-125m in revenues and $95-105m in EBITDA on a first full year basis.

The project is the first of two linked projects that are planned for the site. A second phase is being developed for an additional 650 MW of solar generation capacity and 2.1 GWh of energy storage availability. This represents another implementation of Enlight’s “Connect and Expand” strategy, which seeks to leverage existing interconnect infrastructure with additional generation capacity, in turn lowering the costs and risks of building new sites.

CO Bar update

Project CO Bar, located in Arizona and with capacity of 1,211 MW and 824 MWh, has been delayed for another year. Following the start of Arizona Public Service’s queue reform process in November 2023, we had assumed this project would reach COD in 2H 2026. However, due to the regulatory reform process having taken longer than expected to complete and additional hurdles in achieving an interconnection agreement, we now expect this project to reach COD in 2H 2027. The project is expected to generate $125-130m in revenues and $97-102m in EBITDA on a first full year basis once complete.

Enlight Europe

Revenues of $46m, up 24% from 3Q23. Operating capacity of 1,233 MW, rising from 1,173 MW in 3Q23.

Construction has been completed at project Pupin, located in Serbia, where the site has been connected to the national grid, and the first wind turbines are now undergoing testing. Initial COD is expected in the coming weeks, more than half a year ahead of schedule. Pupin will sell 72% of the electricity it generates to the state-owned utility Elektroprivreda Srbije based on a market premium agreement using a CFD structure priced at EUR 68.88 per MWh and indexed to the Eurostat CPI.

Moving to our operational portfolio, the Gecama Wind project in Spain sold electricity at an average price of EUR 96 per MWh during 3Q24 compared to EUR 76 per MWh in the same quarter last year. During the quarter, 31% of production was sold at merchant price of EUR 86 per MWh, while 69% of production was secured under a financial hedge at EUR 100 per MWh. Gecama demonstrated good performance on an operational level, with quarterly volumes up 8% when compared to the same period last year.

Enlight’s hedging strategy provided significant protection against volatility in prices, and will continue to do so for the rest of the year. Our EUR 100 per MWh hedge will cover 65% of Gecama’s anticipated generation for the rest of 2024 on an average basis. Enlight has already begun preparing a hedging strategy for 2025, and has entered into futures contracts covering 60% of our estimated generation output for next year at an approximate price of EUR 65 per MWh.

The Company expects to begin construction of the Gecama Hybrid in the coming months. This project will add 225 MW solar generation and 220 MWh storage capacity to the existing wind farm.

Enlight MENA

Revenues of $56m, up 223% from 3Q23. Operating capacity of 705 MW and 625 MWh, increasing from 528 MW and 135 MWh in 3Q23.

The MENA segment contributed 51% of the third quarter’s revenues, illustrating the potential for growth of this region, as well as the geographic diversification of revenues and investments within the Company. The market outlook is positive. Regulatory bodies in Israel are releasing larger tracts of land for the purposes of new renewable energy projects, with a special emphasis on agrivoltaic dual land use applications. Power market deregulation is leading to more attractive electricity pricing and an increase in the demand for energy storage.

The build out of the Israel Solar and Storage Cluster concluded during the quarter with the COD of Faran, Lavi, and Mahanayim, adding 55 MW and 160 MWh to the project’s operational capacity. These were the tenth, eleventh, and twelfth units of the Cluster, which comprises 12 sites in the north and south of Israel, with a total capacity of 248 MW and 625 MWh. The Cluster is expected to generate revenue of $34-36m and EBITDA of $24-26m in the first full operating year, before taking into account the additional margin generated by Enlight’s supplier division.

We continue to expand further into Israel’s electricity market, signing 3 new corporate PPAs this quarter with clients in the electronics and industrial sectors. In total, the Company has entered into more than 15 corporate PPAs in the past two years, with volumes sold corresponding to the entire generation volume of the projects we have allocated to serving the country’s newly deregulated power market.

Financing Arrangements

On October 10, 2024, the Company raised approximately $133m of debt in Israel by way of expanding its existing Series D notes traded on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange. The notes were sold at an effective yield of 6.3%, with a duration of 3.7 years. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the offering for investments in its large-scale portfolio in the United States, Europe and MENA.

Sell downs of assets, whether operating, under construction, or still in development, remains an important strategic objective for Enlight. The Company includes $15m from sell-downs, to be realized towards the end of this year, in the Adjusted EBITDA portion of our 2024 Financial Outlook.

Balance Sheet

The Company maintains $320m of revolving credit facilities, none of which have been drawn as of the date of this report. These resources enhance our financial strength and provide additional flexibility to the Company as it delivers on its Mature Projects portfolio.

• Revenue between $355m and $370m (from $345m to $360m previously)
• Adjusted EBITDA4 between $255m and $270m (from $245m to $260m previously)
• 90% of 2024’s expected generation output will be sold at fixed prices either through hedges or PPAs.

________________________4 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, 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.

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 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 (loss) plus depreciation and amortization, share based compensation, finance expenses, taxes on income and share in losses of equity accounted investees and minus finance income and non-recurring portions of other income, net. For the purposes of calculating Adjusted EBITDA, capital gains as well as compensation for inadequate performance of goods and services procured by the Company are included in other income, net. With respect to other income (expense) mentioned above, as part of Enlight’s strategy to accelerate growth and reduce the need for equity financing, the Company sells parts of or the entirety of selected renewable project assets from time to time, and therefore includes realized gains and losses from these asset dispositions in Adjusted EBITDA. Compensation for inadequate performance of goods and services reflects the profits the Company would have generated under regular operating conditions and is therefore included in Adjusted EBITDA. 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.

(**)      Due to the Company's organizational restructuring, the Chief Operation Decision Maker (CODM) now reviews the group’s results by segmenting them into four business units: MENA (Middle East and North Africa), Europe, the US, and Management and Construction. Consequently, the Central/Eastern Europe and Western Europe segments have been consolidated into the "Europe" segment, and the Israel segment has been incorporated into the MENA segment. The comparative figures for the nine-months and three-months periods ending September 30, 2023, have been updated accordingly.
