Key financial metrics showed mixed results with Q4 Adjusted EBITDA at $248.6M (-5%) and Annual Adjusted EBITDA at $1,039.3M (+3%). The Regulated Services Group saw positive growth due to new rates implementation, though partially offset by higher operating expenses including $18.0M in non-recurring costs for the year.
Notable corporate actions include the sale of its 42.2% stake in Atlantica for approximately $1.1B and the completion of its renewable energy business sale to LS Power for $2.1B in January 2025. The company announced leadership changes with Rod West succeeding Chris Huskilson as CEO effective March 7, 2025.

Il Gruppo Servizi Regolati ha registrato una crescita positiva grazie all'implementazione di nuove tariffe, sebbene parzialmente compensata da costi operativi più elevati, inclusi $18,0M in costi non ricorrenti per l'anno.
Tra le azioni aziendali notevoli vi sono la vendita della sua partecipazione del 42,2% in Atlantica per circa $1,1B e la completamento della vendita della sua attività di energia rinnovabile a LS Power per $2,1B nel gennaio 2025.

Algonquin Power & Utilities (TSX/NYSE: AQN)가 2024년 4분기 및 전체 연도 재무 결과를 발표하며 순수 유틸리티로의 전환에서 중요한 진전을 이뤘습니다. 회사는 4분기 순 유틸리티 판매액이 $426.0M(+8%)였고 연간 순 유틸리티 판매액이 $1,687.9M(+4%)라고 보고했습니다.

주목할 만한 기업 활동으로는 Atlantica에서의 42.2% 지분 매각이 약 $1.1B에 이루어졌고, 재생 에너지 사업 매각 완료가 2025년 1월 LS Power에 $2.1B에 이루어졌습니다. 회사는 2025년 3월 7일부터 Rod West가 Chris Huskilson의 후임 CEO로 임명될 것이라고 발표했습니다.

2% and4% , 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.
