PRINCETON, N.J., Aug. 06, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Clearway Energy, Inc. (NYSE: CWEN, CWEN.A) today reported second quarter 2020 financial results, including Net Income of $76 million, Adjusted EBITDA of $316 million, Cash from Operating Activities of $100 million, and Cash Available for Distribution (CAFD) of $86 million, which includes adjustments to reflect CAFD generated by unconsolidated investments that were unable to distribute project dividends due to the PG&E bankruptcy as of  June 30, 2020.

"With the emergence of PG&E from bankruptcy, Clearway’s impacted projects are now able to distribute cash in the normal course allowing the Company to reestablish its dividend in-line with long-term targets,” said Christopher Sotos, Clearway Energy, Inc.’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “In addition, PG&E’s emergence also provides the Company a significant source of liquidity through the release of nearly $168 million of trapped cash. This cash will be allocated to existing growth commitments which puts the Company in a position to deliver at the upper end of its 5-8% long term dividend growth target through next year. Looking forward, we remain focused on additional accretive transactions such as today's announcement of the Mesquite Star investment, while continuing to build upon our partnership with Clearway Group to support our long-term growth objectives.”

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.

Cash Available for Distribution (CAFD)1		$	86			$	68			$	94			$	55

For the second quarter of 2020, the Company reported Net Income of $76 million, Adjusted EBITDA of $316 million, Cash from Operating Activities of $100 million, and CAFD of $86 million, which includes adjustments to reflect CAFD generated by unconsolidated investments that were unable to distribute project dividends due to the PG&E bankruptcy as of June 30, 2020. Net Income increased versus the second quarter of 2019 primarily due to higher EBITDA and lower non-cash changes to the fair value of interest rate swaps. Second quarter Adjusted EBITDA results were higher than 2019 primarily due to the acquisition of Carlsbad and improved renewable energy production versus last year including at the Company's CVSR facility which experienced an outage in June 2019. In the second quarter, CAFD results were higher than 2019 primarily due to higher Adjusted EBITDA and the timing of corporate interest payments due to the issuance of the 2028 Senior Notes and redemption of the 2024 Senior Notes.

COVID-19 Update

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company has implemented measures and developed corporate and regional response plans to protect its employees and to maintain safe and reliable operations at its facilities. Based on its experience year to date, the Company does not currently anticipate any material impact to its financial conditions resulting from the pandemic.

Operational Performance

(MWh and MWht in thousands)		Three Months Ended						Six Months Ended
		6/30/20			6/30/19			6/30/20			6/30/19
Conventional Equivalent Availability Factor2		95.1	%		92.1	%		92.0	%		87.5	%

Thermal Generation Sold (MWh/MWht)		406			498			1,038			1,171

In the second quarter of 2020, availability at the Conventional segment was higher than the second quarter of 2019 due to the timing of spring outages in 2019. Generation in the Renewables segment during the second quarter of 2020 was 16% higher than the second quarter of 2019 due to weaker renewable resource conditions in the second quarter of 2019 and the outage at the CVSR facility in June 2019.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Table 5: Liquidity

($ millions)		6/30/2020				12/31/2019
Cash and Cash Equivalents:
Clearway Energy, Inc. and Clearway Energy LLC, excluding subsidiaries		$	59			$	30
Subsidiaries		116				125
Restricted Cash:

Reserves, including debt service, distributions, performance obligations and other reserves		161				133
Total Cash		$	416			$	417
Revolving credit facility availability		439				425
Total Liquidity		$	855			$	842

Total liquidity as of June 30, 2020 was $855 million, which was $13 million higher than as of December 31, 2019 primarily due to proceeds raised through the Company's ATM program during 2020, the offering of additional 2028 Senior Notes, and the proceeds from the residential solar portfolio divestiture. This increase was in part offset by the execution of growth investments, including the acquisition of the remaining interest in Repowering 1.0, and the redemption of the remaining balance of the 2024 Senior Notes and 2020 Convertible Notes. As of June 30, 2020, the Company had approximately $168 million of excess restricted cash at consolidated and unconsolidated subsidiaries that were previously affected by the PG&E bankruptcy. The company has already received $83 million of this amount with the balance expected in the ordinary course of project level distributions.

The Company's liquidity includes $241 million of restricted cash as of June 30, 2020.  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, 2020, these restricted funds were comprised of $80 million designated to fund operating expenses, approximately $20 million designated for current debt service payments, and $56 million of reserves for debt service, performance obligations and other items including capital expenditures. The remaining $85 million is held in distribution accounts.

Potential future sources of liquidity include excess operating cash flow, ATM offerings, availability under the revolving credit facility, asset dispositions, and, subject to market conditions, new corporate financings.

PG&E Bankruptcy Update

On July 1, 2020, PG&E emerged from bankruptcy and assumed the Company’s contracts without modification. In addition, PG&E paid to the Company's applicable projects the portion of the invoices corresponding to the electricity delivered for the period between January 1 and January 28, 2019. These invoices related to the pre-petition period services and any payment therefore required the approval by the Bankruptcy Court. The Company is finalizing with certain lenders the timing of the distribution of cash previously withheld as a result of the bankruptcy.

Growth Investments

New Drop Down Offer

On August 3, 2020, Clearway Energy Group (CEG) offered the Company the opportunity to purchase (i) residual interests in the Kawailoa and Oahu Solar Partnerships and (ii) 100% of its interests in Langford Holding, LLC, which owns the Langford wind project.  The transaction is subject to negotiation and approval by the Company's Independent Directors.

Investment in Mesquite Star Wind Project

On August 3, 2020, the Company entered into an agreement with CEG to acquire an interest in Mesquite Star Pledgor LLC, which owns the Mesquite Star wind project, a 419 MW utility scale wind facility that reached COD in June 2020. A majority of the project’s output is backed by contracts with investment grade counterparties with a 12 year weighted average contract life. The Company has committed to invest, subject to the completion of certain conditions prior to closing, $79 million in corporate capital to fund the transaction. The investment is structured such that the Company will receive 50% of the project’s cash flow through the first half of 2031, and then 22.5% of the project's cash flow thereafter. The project is expected to contribute asset CAFD on a five-year average annual basis of approximately $8.3 million beginning January 1, 2021. The investment will be funded with existing liquidity.

Black Start Services at Marsh Landing

On December 1, 2017, the California Independent System Operator (CAISO) selected a proposal by the Company's Marsh Landing project to provide black start capability in the greater San Francisco Bay Area. The black start service would restart Marsh Landing in the event of a blackout to support the CAISO’s directed restoration of the electrical grid in response to an emergency condition. As of July 2020, the project has received the necessary regulatory approvals, and has commenced construction. The project has a five-year contract with the CAISO, is expected to achieve commercial operations in 2021, and will require approximately $19 million in corporate capital. The investment is expected to contribute asset CAFD of approximately $5 million per year on average over the life of the contract.

Remaining Interest in Repowering 1.0

On May 11, 2020, and as part of the April 20, 2020 Drop Down transaction described below, the Company closed the acquisition of CEG's remaining interest in Repowering Partnership II LLC (Repowering 1.0) for $70 million, which gave the Company sole ownership of the Partnership. Repowering 1.0 includes the 161 MW Wildorado and 122 MW Elbow Creek wind projects which were previously repowered.

Binding Agreements to Acquire and Invest in a Portfolio of Renewable Energy Projects

On April 20, 2020 the Company announced it had entered into binding agreements with CEG that enables the Company to acquire and invest in a portfolio of renewable energy projects. The following projects were included in the drop-down:

• Rattlesnake Wind: The Company signed agreements to acquire Rattlesnake Flat, LLC, which owns the Rattlesnake Wind Project, a 144 net MW wind facility located in Adams County, WA. The project has a 20-year power purchase agreement with Avista. Commercial operations and corporate capital funding for the project are expected to occur by the end of 2020.
• Remaining Interest in Repowering 1.0: As described above, the Company acquired this interest on May 11, 2020
• Pinnacle Wind Repowering: The Company, through an indirect subsidiary, agreed to enter into a new partnership with CEG to repower the Pinnacle Wind Project, a 55 net MW wind facility located in Mineral County, WV. In order to facilitate the repowering, the Company contributed its interests in the Pinnacle Wind Project to the partnership. The existing Pinnacle Wind power purchase agreements will continue to run through 2031. Commercial operations and corporate capital funding for the Pinnacle Wind Repowering Partnership are expected to occur in 2021.

The agreements commit the Company to invest, at closing, an estimated $241 million in corporate capital, subject to closing adjustments. The investment at commercial operations excludes, subject to closing adjustments, an additional $27 million payment in 2031 at the Pinnacle Wind Repowering Partnership. The transactions are expected to have a five-year average annual asset CAFD of approximately $23 million prior to corporate financing costs.

Business Renewables Investment Partnerships with Clearway Group (CEG)

During the second quarter of 2020, the Company invested approximately $3 million in DGPV Holdco 3 as part of the business renewables investment partnerships with CEG, bringing total capital invested to $207 million in these investment partnerships. As of June 30, 2020, through the existing partnership agreements, the Company owns approximately 277 MW of business renewables (C&I) and community solar capacity based on cash to be distributed with a weighted average contract life of approximately 19 years.

On May 29, 2020, the final construction projects for DGPV Holdco 3 were placed in service which resulted in a reconsideration event for consolidation of DGPV Holdco 3. Upon the reconsideration event, the Company determined that it was the primary beneficiary of DGPV Holdco 3. As such, effective on May 29, 2020, the Company consolidates DGPV Holdco 3, and shows the interest owned by CEG as noncontrolling interest.

Divestitures

Residential Solar Portfolio Divestiture

RPV Holding LLC, an indirect subsidiary of Clearway Energy, Inc., and Clearway Energy Group LLC jointly entered into a purchase and sale agreement with Spruce Finance to sell 100% of their interests in RPV Holdco 1 LLC and its subsidiaries. The Company's allocation of cash proceeds from the sale was $75 million subject to a customary working capital adjustment. RPV Holdco 1 LLC consists of a portfolio of residential solar leases representing 53 MW. The transaction closed simultaneously with the execution of the purchase and sale agreement.

Financing Update

Class C Common Stock ATM Program

During the second quarter of 2020, the Company raised gross proceeds of approximately $28.0 million through the sale of 1,271,281 shares of Class C common stock under the Company's ATM program at a weighted average price of $22.05 per share. As of June 30, 2020, the Company had completed the issuance of shares of Class C common stock available under the ATM Program. On July 30, 2020, the Company's Board authorized a new $150 million ATM program.

Offering of $250 Million of Additional “Green Bond” Senior Notes Due 2028 and Repurchase of Remaining 2020 Convertible Notes

On May 21, 2020, Clearway Energy Operating LLC (“Clearway Operating”), a subsidiary of Clearway Energy, Inc. issued $250 million in aggregate principal amount of its 4.750% Senior Notes due 2028 (the “Additional Notes”). The Additional Notes were  issued at 102.0% of par, plus accrued interest from December 11, 2019. The Additional Notes were offered as an additional issue of Clearway Operating’s existing $600 million aggregate principal amount of 4.750% Senior Notes due 2028 that Clearway Operating issued on December 11, 2019 (the “Initial Notes”). Clearway Operating used the proceeds of the offering to fund the repayment at maturity, on June 1, 2020, of the $45 million outstanding aggregate principal amount of Clearway Energy’s 3.25% convertible notes due 2020, as well as to fund the repayment of outstanding borrowings under Clearway Operating’s revolving credit facility and for general corporate purposes.

Quarterly Dividend

On July 30, 2020, Clearway Energy, Inc.’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend on Class A and Class C common stock of $0.3125 per share payable on September 15, 2020, to stockholders of record as of September 1, 2020.

Seasonality

Clearway Energy, Inc.’s quarterly operating results are impacted by seasonal factors, as well as weather variability which can impact renewable energy resource and volumetric sales of steam and chilled water at the Thermal segment. 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
• Receipt of distributions from or generated by unconsolidated affiliates including those impacted by the PG&E bankruptcy.

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.

2020 Financial Guidance

The Company is reaffirming its 2020 full year CAFD guidance of $310 million. Financial guidance for 2020 continues to be based on median renewable energy production estimates for the full year.

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

Cash Available for Distribution (CAFD) is a non-GAAP financial measure. We define CAFD as Adjusted EBITDA plus cash distributions/return of investment from unconsolidated affiliates, adjustments to reflect CAFD generated by unconsolidated investments that were unable to distribute project dividends due to the PG&E bankruptcy as of June 30, 2020, cash receipts from notes receivable, cash distributions from noncontrolling interests, 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, Walnut Creek investment payments, 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.
