Insights

The Q3 2024 results show mixed performance with some concerning trends. Net utility sales grew by 6% to $442.9 million and Adjusted EBITDA increased by 4% to $264.4 million. However, Adjusted Net Earnings declined by 5% to $64.9 million, with earnings per share dropping 20% to $0.08.

Most concerning is the massive net loss of $1.3 billion including discontinued operations, primarily due to the renewable energy business sale to LS Power. The 40% dividend cut to $0.065 per share reflects financial strain. The $7.48 billion long-term debt remains a significant burden.

The strategic transition to a regulated utility model shows progress with new rate cases that could add over $700 million to the rate base, but regulatory lag remains a challenge. The upcoming utility rate cases in California, Missouri and Arizona will be important for improving returns.

AQN's operations are now organized across three business units consisting of: the Regulated Services Group, which primarily owns and operates a portfolio of regulated electric, water distribution and wastewater collection and natural gas utility systems and transmission operations in the United States, Canada, Bermuda and Chile; the Hydro Group, consisting of the hydroelectric business which is not being sold as a part of the renewables business; and the Corporate Group, which includes corporate and service companies as well as the Company's investment in Atlantica.

Please refer to "Non-GAAP Measures" below for further details.

Discontinued Operations Revenue for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2024 totaled $66.3 million and $240.5 million, respectively, versus $60.0 million and $213.0 million for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Third Quarter 2024 Operational Results and Corporate Actions

  • Regulated Services Group saw growth from implementation of new rates, offset by higher depreciation, higher financing costs and greater share count - The Regulated Services Group recorded third quarter year-over-year growth in Adjusted EBITDA of 3% (see "Non-GAAP Measures" below), due to the implementation of new rates, most notably at the Bermuda, CalPeco, Empire Arkansas Electric utilities, and New York Water utility.  New rates were more than offset by higher operating expenses, and depreciation.  Additionally, the June, 17 2024 settlement of share purchase contracts related to AQN's green equity units drove a higher year-over-year share count.
  • New York Water settlement approval constructively concludes first rate case since acquisition – On August 15, 2024, the New York Public Service Commission issued an order authorizing a $38.6 million increase in revenues over a three-year rate plan for the Company's New York Water utility, and including a 9.1% allowed return on equity and 48% equity ratio. New rates became effective September 1, 2024, and are being collected retroactive to April 1, 2024.
  • Upcoming rate cases mark meaningful steps toward closing earned return gap – On September 20, 2024, the Company filed a rate case for its CalPeco Electric utility, seeking an increase in revenues of $39.8 million based on a return on equity of 11.0%, an equity ratio of 52.5%, and additions to rate base of approximately $150 million through the end of 2025.  Additionally, on November 6, 2024, the Company filed a rate case for its Empire Electric utility in Missouri, requesting $92.1 million in revenue increases and predicated on a 10.0% allowed return on equity.  The rate case, if approved, would increase rate base by approximately $534 million. Separately, the Company also expects to file a rate case for its Litchfield Park Water utility in Arizona in the first half of 2025.  The three rate cases combined, if resolved in accordance with the Company's expectations, would comprise over $700 million of the capital already invested by the Company but not yet reflected in rates. Reducing regulatory lag continues to be a core objective of AQN.
  • Announced sale agreement of Renewable Energy Business – On August 9, 2024, the Company entered into an agreement to sell its renewable energy business, excluding hydro, to a wholly-owned subsidiary of LS Power for total cash consideration of up to $2.5 billion (subject to certain closing adjustments). The Company has reclassified its renewable energy business, excluding hydro, as "discontinued operations". 

AQN's unaudited interim consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and management discussion and analysis for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 (the "Interim MD&A") will be available on its website at www.AlgonquinPower.com and in its corporate filings on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.com (for Canadian filings) and EDGAR at www.sec.gov/edgar (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", "intends", "would", "objective" and "expects" (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: the expected sale of Company's renewable energy business; expectations regarding rate cases, including the expected outcomes thereof; and the Company's objective of reducing regulatory lag. 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. There can be no assurance that a sale regarding the Company's renewable energy business will occur, or that any of the intended benefits and aims of any such transaction will be realized. 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 and Analysis for the year ended December 31, 2023, 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.

Explanatory Note

The term "rate base" is used in this document. Rate base is a measure specific to rate-regulated utilities that is not intended to represent any financial measure as defined by U.S. GAAP. The measure is used by the regulatory authorities in the jurisdictions where the Company's rate-regulated subsidiaries operate. The calculation of this measure may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures used by other companies.

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 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, 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. Investors are cautioned that this measure should not be construed as an alternative to U.S. GAAP consolidated net earnings.
