Berliner Boersenzeitung - Polaris Renewable Energy Announces Q3 2025 Results

2025 HIGHLIGHTS

• Third quarter consolidated energy production totaled 181,235 MWh, representing a 7% increase compared to 168,639 MWh in the same quarter last year. The increase is mainly attributable to the contribution from the Puerto Rican wind farm, acquired on March 3, 2025, which was not part of the portfolio in the comparative quarter of 2024, as well as stronger hydrological conditions in Peru.

• The Company generated $19.0 million in revenue from energy sales for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $17.7 million in the same period in 2024.

• Adjusted EBITDA was $12.8 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2025, compared to

$12.4 million in the same period in 2024.

• Net losses attributable to shareholders of the Company for the quarter ended September 30, 2025 were

$328K or $(0.02) per share - basic, compared to earnings of $451K or $0.02 per share - basic in the comparative period of 2024.

• For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company generated $29.2 million in net cash flow from operating activities, ending with a cash position of $99.1 million, including restricted cash.

• On August 11, 2025 Polaris completed the submission of the Battery Energy Storage System Standard Offer ("BESS") Agreement to the Puerto Rico Energy Bureau ("PREB"). On September 30, 2025, PREB directed the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority ("PREPA") to file the executed agreement within five days of receiving Financial Oversight and Management Board ("FOMB") approval. Final regulatory approvals from PREPA and FOMB are expected in the next 60 days. The BESS project is expected to be constructed and fully operational by the end of 2026, at which time, Polaris will be entitled to receive monthly fixed and performance-based payments in exchange for providing energy storage services, including capacity and grid support.

• Maintaining a quarterly dividend remains a goal for the Company. In respect of the third quarter of 2025, the Company declared and expects to pay a quarterly dividend of $0.15 per outstanding common share on November 21, 2025.

OPERATING AND FINANCIAL OVERVIEW

During the three months ended September 30, 2025, quarterly consolidated power production was 7% higher than the production in the same period of 2024. The growth was primarily driven by stronger hydrological conditions in Peru, which significantly boosted output across its hydroelectric portfolio and by the contribution of the Punta Lima Wind Farm, acquired in March 2025.

Production in both Ecuador and Peru surpassed prior-year levels, driven by favorable hydrological conditions during this typically dry season and excellent plant availability and technical performance.

The Canoa 1 facility in the Dominican Republic recorded similar production for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024. While the project benefited from improved productivity following the full commissioning of the new solar panels (which only partially contributed in Q3 2024), these gains were partially offset by system-wide curtailment that persisted throughout the third quarter of 2025 and was not present in the prior year. We estimate that curtailment impacted generation by approximately 1,000 MWh in the quarter.

Generation at the Punta Lima Wind Farm reflected a lower wind resource than expected during the quarter which is typically the lowest expected quarterly generation of the year. Year to date, Punta Lima remains above target.

Production at the Vista Hermosa Solar Park in Panama for the quarter was consistent with levels recorded in the same period of 2024.

" During the third quarter, we continued to execute on our growth strategy and advance key initiatives across our portfolio. In Puerto Rico, we achieved a key milestone with the approval of our Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) Agreement by the Energy Bureau. We are now preparing to initiate the construction and technical specification phases to enable the project's timely completion once regulatory clearances are obtained. The BESS facility will strengthen grid stability and reinforce Polaris' strategic growth in the region", said Marc Murnaghan, Chief Executive Officer of Polaris Renewable Energy.

Such forward-looking information reflects management's current beliefs and is based on information currently available to management. Often, but not always, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as "plans", "expects", "is expected", "budget", "estimates", "goals", "intends", "targets", "aims", "likely", "typically", "potential", "probable", "projects", "continue", "strategy", "proposed", or "believes" or variations (including negative variations) of such words and phrases or may be identified by statements to the effect that certain actions, events or results "may", "could", "should", "would", "might" or "will" be taken, occur or be achieved.

Forward-looking information in this MD&A includes, but is not limited to: the expected production capacity of the Binary Unit at San Jacinto; additional changes to the wells and steamfield to increase production; the ability to successfully capitalize on expansion opportunities in Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic and to increase the load factor on Canoa Solar Park in Dominican Republic; future dividends; expected annual energy production; sufficiency of cash flows from operations; the ability to satisfy capital requirements and the replacement of debt; the result of changes to the re-injection system over the long-term; and the verification process and timing regarding the sale of carbon emission credits.
