ST. JOHN’S, Newfoundland and Labrador--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Altius Renewable Royalties Corp. (TSX: ARR) (OTCQX: ATRWF) (“ARR”, the “Company”, or the “Corporation”), expects to report Q4 2023 proportionate royalty revenue of $1.3 million (excluding interest income), which compares to $0.9 million of proportionate royalty revenue recorded in Q4 2022. On a full year basis, proportionate royalty revenue increased to $5.2 million from $3.7 million in 2022.

These amounts reflect ARR’s 50% ownership interest in Great Bay Renewables (“GBR”). GBR's royalty revenue of $10.4 million for 2023 compares to guidance of $11.5 million to $13.5 million, with the difference largely relating to an escrow release of $1.25 million from Titan Solar that has been delayed into Q1 2024 pending confirmation of a local transmission line upgrade.

Frank Getman, CEO of GBR, commented, “GBR had a successful 2023, entering into a new $45 million developer transaction with Hexagon and securing a $247 million credit facility that provides new investment liquidity at a particularly opportune time in the renewables market cycle. Merchant pricing in ERCOT rebounded in the summer after very low prices in the first half. GBR is positioned for a strong 2024 with a diversified portfolio of cash flowing royalties, over 1 GW of developer derived royalties currently under construction, and significant dry powder to execute on its current pipeline of potential new royalty deals.”
