The earnings call reflects a positive sentiment with strong financial performance, strategic partnerships, and optimistic guidance. The acquisition and expansion plans, energy storage growth, and improved permitting are promising. The Q&A section supports this with ongoing negotiations and legal settlements favoring Ormat. The stock's market cap indicates moderate sensitivity to these factors, suggesting a positive stock price movement.
Total Revenue $234 million, a 9.9% increase compared to the last year's second quarter. This was driven by the recovery of the product segment and improved performance of the energy storage segment, partially offset by a slight reduction in the electricity segment.
Gross Profit $56.9 million, down 7.3% from $61.4 million in the second quarter of 2024. The decline was largely due to a temporary electric segment gross margin compression.
Net Income Attributable to Stockholders $28 million or $0.46 per diluted share, compared to $22.2 million or $0.37 per diluted share in the second quarter of the prior year. This reflects a 26.1% increase, highlighting the strength and resilience of the portfolio despite temporary reduction in electricity segment profitability.
Adjusted Net Income Attributable to Stockholders $29.1 million or $0.48 per diluted share, reflecting an increase of 19.8% and 20%, respectively. This was driven by the overall growth in earnings.
Adjusted EBITDA $134.6 million, a 6.7% increase compared to last year. This growth was driven by higher revenue and better margins in the product segment, contributions from new assets, higher merchant pricing in the energy storage segment, a legal settlement with a battery supplier, and better performance of the Dixie Valley and Beowawe power plants. The increase was partially offset by an approximate $12 million reduction in EBITDA due to energy curtailment in the U.S. and well field work at the Puna power plant.
Electricity Segment Revenue $159.9 million, a decrease of 3.8% compared to the same period last year. This was primarily due to ongoing maintenance work at the Puna power plant and continued energy curtailment in the U.S., which reduced revenues by approximately $13 million.
Product Segment Revenue $59.6 million, an increase of 57.6% compared to the same period last year. This was driven by a strong backlog and the timing of progress made in manufacturing and construction.
Energy Storage Segment Revenue $14.5 million, an increase of 62.7% compared to the second quarter of 2024. This was mainly due to the commencement of commercial operation of new energy storage facilities in 2024 and strong merchant prices in the PGM market.
Electricity Segment Gross Margin 24.2% in the second quarter, down from 33.5% last year. Excluding temporary events, the margin would have been approximately 30%.
Product Segment Gross Margin 27.7%, up from 13.7% last year. This was driven by improved profitability on contracts.
Energy Storage Segment Gross Margin 11.9%, up from 5.7% in the second quarter of 2024. This improvement was driven by higher merchant prices in the PGM markets.
Cash and Cash Equivalents Approximately $206 million as of June 30, 2025, similar to the end of 2024.
Total Debt Approximately $2.7 billion net of deferred financing costs, with the cost of debt at 4.95%. The majority of debt liabilities are fixed interest rates.
Net Debt Approximately $2.5 billion, equivalent to 4.4x net debt to EBITDA.
Total Available Liquidity $551 million.
