Clearway Energy, Inc. (NYSE: CWEN, CWEN.A) today reported second
quarter 2023 financial results, including Net Income of $84
million, Adjusted EBITDA of $316 million, Cash from Operating
Activities of $134 million, and Cash Available for Distribution
(CAFD) of $137 million.
"As we disclosed in mid-July, historically low
wind production in the second quarter negatively impacted the
quarter's financial results. Given that first and second quarter’s
results were impacted by weaker renewable resource, we are lowering
our 2023 financial guidance,” said Christopher Sotos, Clearway
Energy, Inc.’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “Despite the
2023 guidance revision, our long-term outlook and visibility into
achieving it remains on track as highlighted by this quarter's
commitments to invest in the Rosamond Central battery storage
project and Cedar Creek wind farm. The Company continues to have
line of sight to the future deployment of the excess proceeds from
the Thermal sale and expects to deliver at the upper range of its
dividend growth target through 2026”
Adjusted EBITDA and Cash Available for
Distribution used in this press release are non-GAAP measures and
are explained in greater detail under “Non-GAAP Financial
Information” below.

For the second quarter of 2023, the Company
reported Net Income of $84 million, Adjusted EBITDA of $316
million, Cash from Operating Activities of $134 million, and CAFD
of $137 million. Net Income decreased versus 2022 primarily due to
a non-cash gain on the disposition of the Thermal business recorded
in 2022. Adjusted EBITDA and Cash from Operating Activities results
in the second quarter were lower than 2022 due to the disposition
of the Thermal business, lower renewable production, and the
expiration of certain tolling agreements in the Conventional fleet.
CAFD results in the second quarter of 2023 were lower than 2022
primarily due to lower EBITDA partially offset by lower debt
service from Conventional project-level maturities.

In the second quarter of 2023, availability at the Conventional
segment was higher than the second quarter of 2022 primarily due to
the timing of spring outages between the first quarter and second
quarter. Generation in the Renewables segment during the second
quarter of 2023 was 10% lower than the second quarter of 2022
primarily due to lower wind resource partially offset by the
contribution of growth investments.

Total liquidity as of June 30, 2023, was
$1,430 million, which was $64 million higher than as of December
31, 2022, primarily due to the refinancing of the revolving credit
facility which increased its total capacity to $700 million from
$495 million. This was partially offset by the execution of growth
investments.
As of June 30, 2023, the Company's
liquidity included $371 million of restricted cash. Restricted
cash consists primarily of funds to satisfy the requirements of
certain debt arrangements and funds held within the Company's
projects that are restricted in their use. As of June 30,
2023, these restricted funds were comprised of $104 million
designated to fund operating expenses, approximately $168 million
designated for current debt service payments, and $85 million of
reserves for debt service, performance obligations and other items
including capital expenditures. The remaining $14 million is
held in distribution reserve accounts.
Potential future sources of liquidity include
excess operating cash flow, availability under the revolving credit
facility, asset dispositions, and, subject to market conditions,
new corporate debt and equity financings.
Growth Investments and Strategic
Announcements
Offer to Invest in Dan's Mountain
Wind
On August 4, 2023, Clearway Group offered the
Company the opportunity to own 100% cash equity interest in a 55 MW
wind project located in Allegany County, Maryland that is expected
to reach commercial operations in the second half of 2024. The
potential corporate capital commitment for the investment is
expected to be approximately $77 million. The investment is subject
to negotiation, both with Clearway Group and the review and
approval by the Company’s Independent Directors.
Rosamond Central Battery
Storage
On June 30, 2023, the Company, through an
indirect subsidiary, acquired a 50% ownership interest in an entity
that will facilitate and fund the construction of a 147 MW battery
energy storage system, or BESS, located in Rosamond, California
that is expected to achieve commercial operations in 2024. The BESS
system will be co-located at the Rosamond Central solar facility
that the Company currently has a 50% ownership interest in. The
BESS project is underpinned by a 15-year resource adequacy contract
with an investment grade load serving entity. Upon reaching certain
milestones, the Company expects to invest a total of $32 million of
corporate capital. The Company expects the project to contribute
asset CAFD on a five-year average annual basis of approximately
$3.5 million beginning January 1, 2025.
Cedar Creek Wind
On May 19, 2023, the Company, through an
indirect subsidiary, entered into an agreement to acquire the Cedar
Creek wind project, a 160 MW project located in Bingham County,
Idaho, for $107 million in cash, subject to customary working
capital adjustments. Upon achieving commercial operations, which is
expected to occur in the first half of 2024, the project will sell
its power under a 25-year PPA with a investment grade utility. The
Company expects the project to contribute asset CAFD on a five-year
average annual basis of approximately $10 million beginning January
1, 2025.
Quarterly Dividend
On August 7, 2023, Clearway Energy, Inc.’s
Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend on Class A and
Class C common stock of $0.3891 per share payable on
September 15, 2023, to stockholders of record as of
September 1, 2023.
The Company anticipates that a portion of the
dividends expected to be paid in 2023 and beyond may be treated as
taxable for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The portion of
dividends in future years that will be treated as taxable will
depend upon a number of factors, including but not limited to, the
Company’s overall performance and the gross amount of any dividends
made to stockholders in 2023 and beyond.
Seasonality
Clearway Energy, Inc.’s quarterly operating
results are impacted by seasonal factors, as well as weather
variability which can impact renewable energy resource. Most of the
Company's revenues are generated from the months of May through
September, as contracted pricing and renewable resources are at
their highest levels in the Company’s portfolio. Factors driving
the fluctuation in Net Income, Adjusted EBITDA, Cash from Operating
Activities, and CAFD include the following:
- Higher summer capacity prices from conventional assets;
- Higher solar insolation during the summer months;
- Higher wind resources during the spring and summer months;
- Debt service payments which are made either quarterly or
semi-annually;
- Timing of maintenance capital expenditures and the impact of
both unforced and forced outages; and
- Timing of distributions from unconsolidated affiliates
The Company takes into consideration the timing
of these factors to ensure sufficient funds are available for
distributions and operating activities on a quarterly basis.
Financial Guidance and Pro Forma CAFD
Outlook
The Company is updating 2023 full year CAFD
guidance from $410 million to a range of $330 million to $360
million. The updated 2023 financial guidance reflects actual
results to date as well as potential production variability for
both wind and solar for the second half of the year and sensitivity
for merchant energy margin at the Conventional segment. The
potential production variability reflected in the revised financial
guidance is based on year-to-date observations of production and
weather patterns. The Company's 2023 financial guidance also
factors in the contribution of committed growth investments based
on current expected closing timelines. 2023 CAFD guidance does not
factor in the timing of when CAFD is realized from new growth
investments pursuant to 5-year averages beyond 2023.
The Company is increasing its pro forma CAFD
outlook expectations to approximately $420 million due to committed
growth investments. The pro forma CAFD outlook continues to be
based on management expectations for median renewable energy
production estimates.

Non-GAAP Financial
Information
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Cash Available for
Distribution (CAFD) are non-GAAP financial measures. These
measurements are not recognized in accordance with GAAP and should
not be viewed as an alternative to GAAP measures of performance.
The presentation of non-GAAP financial measures should not be
construed as an inference that Clearway Energy’s future results
will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items.
EBITDA represents net income before interest
(including loss on debt extinguishment), taxes, depreciation and
amortization. EBITDA is presented because Clearway Energy considers
it an important supplemental measure of its performance and
believes debt and equity holders frequently use EBITDA to analyze
operating performance and debt service capacity. EBITDA has
limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it
in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our operating
results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are:
- EBITDA does not reflect cash expenditures, or future
requirements for capital expenditures, or contractual
commitments;
- EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for,
working capital needs;
- EBITDA does not reflect the significant interest expense, or
the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal
payments, on debt or cash income tax payments;
- Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges,
the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be
replaced in the future, and EBITDA does not reflect any cash
requirements for such replacements; and
- Other companies in this industry may calculate EBITDA
differently than Clearway Energy does, limiting its usefulness as a
comparative measure.
Because of these limitations, EBITDA should not
be considered as a measure of discretionary cash available to use
to invest in the growth of Clearway Energy’s business. Clearway
Energy compensates for these limitations by relying primarily on
our GAAP results and using EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA only
supplementally. See the statements of cash flow included in the
financial statements that are a part of this news release.
Adjusted EBITDA is presented as a further
supplemental measure of operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA
represents EBITDA adjusted for mark-to-market gains or losses,
non-cash equity compensation expense, asset write offs and
impairments; and factors which we do not consider indicative of
future operating performance such as transition and integration
related costs. The reader is encouraged to evaluate each adjustment
and the reasons Clearway Energy considers it appropriate for
supplemental analysis. As an analytical tool, Adjusted EBITDA is
subject to all of the limitations applicable to EBITDA. In
addition, in evaluating Adjusted EBITDA, the reader should be aware
that in the future Clearway Energy may incur expenses similar to
the adjustments in this news release.
Management believes Adjusted EBITDA is useful to
investors and other users of our financial statements in evaluating
our operating performance because it provides them with an
additional tool to compare business performance across companies
and across periods. This measure is widely used by investors to
measure a company’s operating performance without regard to items
such as interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization,
which can vary substantially from company to company depending upon
accounting methods and book value of assets, capital structure and
the method by which assets were acquired.
Additionally, Management believes that investors
commonly adjust EBITDA information to eliminate the effect of
restructuring and other expenses, which vary widely from company to
company and impair comparability. As we define it, Adjusted EBITDA
represents EBITDA adjusted for the effects of impairment losses,
gains or losses on sales, non-cash equity compensation expense,
dispositions or retirements of assets, any mark-to-market gains or
losses from accounting for derivatives, adjustments to exclude
gains or losses on the repurchase, modification or extinguishment
of debt, and any extraordinary, unusual or non-recurring items plus
adjustments to reflect the Adjusted EBITDA from our unconsolidated
investments. We adjust for these items in our Adjusted EBITDA as
our management believes that these items would distort their
ability to efficiently view and assess our core operating
trends.
In summary, our management uses Adjusted EBITDA
as a measure of operating performance to assist in comparing
performance from period to period on a consistent basis and to
readily view operating trends, as a measure for planning and
forecasting overall expectations and for evaluating actual results
against such expectations, and in communications with our Board of
Directors, shareholders, creditors, analysts and investors
concerning our financial performance.
Cash Available for
Distribution
A non-GAAP measure, Cash Available for
Distribution is defined as of June 30, 2023 as Adjusted EBITDA
plus cash distributions/return of investment from unconsolidated
affiliates, cash receipts from notes receivable, cash distributions
from noncontrolling interests, adjustments to reflect sales-type
lease cash payments and payments for lease expenses, less cash
distributions to noncontrolling interests, maintenance capital
expenditures, pro-rata Adjusted EBITDA from unconsolidated
affiliates, cash interest paid, income taxes paid, principal
amortization of indebtedness, changes in prepaid and accrued
capacity payments, and adjusted for development expenses.
Management believes CAFD is a relevant supplemental measure of the
Company’s ability to earn and distribute cash returns to
investors.
We believe CAFD is useful to investors in
evaluating our operating performance because securities analysts
and other interested parties use such calculations as a measure of
our ability to make quarterly distributions. In addition, CAFD is
used by our management team for determining future acquisitions and
managing our growth. The GAAP measure most directly comparable to
CAFD is cash provided by operating activities.
However, CAFD has limitations as an analytical
tool because it does not include changes in operating assets and
liabilities and excludes the effect of certain other cash flow
items, all of which could have a material effect on our financial
condition and results from operations. CAFD is a non-GAAP measure
and should not be considered an alternative to cash provided by
operating activities or any other performance or liquidity measure
determined in accordance with GAAP, nor is it indicative of funds
available to fund our cash needs. In addition, our calculations of
CAFD are not necessarily comparable to CAFD as calculated by other
companies. Investors should not rely on these measures as a
substitute for any GAAP measure, including cash provided by
operating activities.
