(Unaudited)

 

 

NOTE 1 — GENERAL AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements of Ormat Technologies, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial statements. Accordingly, they do not contain all information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements reflect all adjustments, which include normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial position as of September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income for the three and ninemonths ended September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 and 20212022 and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows and the condensed consolidated statements of equity for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 and 2021.2022.

 

The financial data and other information disclosed in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements related to these periods are unaudited. The results for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year.

 

These condensed unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.2022. The condensed consolidated balance sheet data as of December 31, 20212022 was derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 20212022 but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP.

 

Dollar amounts, except per share data, in the notes to these financial statements are rounded to the closest $1,000.

 

Convertible Senior Notes

On June 22, 2022, the Company issued $375.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 2.5% convertible senior notes due 2027 (the “Notes”). The Notes were offered and sold in a private offering to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to an indenture between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee. Additionally, the Company granted the initial purchasers an option to purchase up to an additional $56.25 million aggregate principal amount of the Notes. The initial purchasers executed their option on June 27, 2022, and by that, increased the total aggregated principal amount of the Notes issued to $431.25 million. The Notes bear annual interest of 2.5%, payable semiannually in arrears on January 15 and July 15 of each year, beginning on January 15, 2023. The Notes mature on July 15, 2027, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased and are the Company's senior unsecured obligations.

Holders of the Notes may convert all or any portion of their Notes at their option at any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding January 15, 2027 only under the following circumstances: (1) during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ending on September 30, 2022 (and only during such calendar quarter), if the last reported sale price of the Company's common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price on each applicable trading day (equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $90.27 per share of common stock); (2) during the five consecutive business day period immediately after any five consecutive trading day period (the “Measurement Period”) in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, as determined following a request by a holder or holders of the Notes for each trading day of the Measurement Period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of the Company's Common Stock and the conversion rate on each such trading day; (3) if the Company calls any or all of the Notes for redemption (the Company may not redeem the notes prior to July 21, 2025), at any time prior to the close of business on the second scheduled trading day prior to the redemption date, but only with respect to the Notes called (or deemed called) for redemption; or (4) upon the occurrence of specified corporate events. On or after January 15, 2027 until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders may convert all or any portion of their Notes at any time, regardless of the foregoing circumstances. Upon conversion, the Company will pay cash up to the aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be converted and pay or deliver, as the case may be, cash, shares of its common stock or a combination of cash and shares of its common stock, at its election, in respect of the remainder, if any, of its conversion obligation in excess of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes being converted.

ORMAT TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)

(Unaudited)

The initial conversion rate was 11.0776 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $90.27 per share of common stock, subject to adjustment in certain events. In addition, following certain corporate events that occur prior to the maturity date or if the Company delivers a notice of redemption, it will, in certain circumstances, increase the conversion rate for a holder who elects to convert its Notes in connection with such a corporate event or notice of redemption, as the case may be. The Company may not redeem the notes prior to July 21, 2025. The Company may redeem for cash all or any portion of the Notes, at its option, on or after July 21, 2025 and on or before the 41st scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, if the last reported sale price of its common stock has been at least 130% of the conversion price then in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during any 30 consecutive trading day period (including the last trading day of such period) ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the date on which we provide notice of redemption at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, but excluding, the redemption date. No sinking fund is provided for the notes. Additionally, if the Company undergoes a fundamental change (other than certain exempted fundamental changes), holders may require the Company to repurchase for cash all or any portion of their Notes at a fundamental change repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest.

The Company incurred approximately $11.6 million of issuance costs in respect of the issuance of the Notes, which were deferred and are presented as a reduction to the Notes principal amounts on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The deferred issuance costs are amortized over the term of the Notes into interest expenses, net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, $0.6 million was recorded as amortized issuance costs under interest expenses, net. The effective interest rate on the Notes, including the impact of the deferred debt issuance costs, is 3.1%.

Based on the closing market price of the Company's common stock on September 30, 2022, the if-converted value of the Notes was less than their aggregate principal amount.

Capped Call Transactions

In connection with the issuance of the convertible notes described above, the Company entered into capped call transactions (the "Capped Calls") with certain counterparties. The capped call transactions will cover, subject to customary adjustments, the number of shares of our common stock initially underlying the Notes of approximately 4.8 million shares of common stock and at an initial strike price of $90.27 per share. The Capped Calls are generally intended to reduce the potential dilution to the Company's Common Stock upon any conversion of the Notes and/or offset any cash payments the Company is required to make in excess of the principal amount of converted Notes, in the event that at the time of conversion, the Common Stock price exceeds the conversion price. If, however, the market price per share of Common Stock exceeds the cap price of the Capped Calls, there would nevertheless be dilution or there would not be an offset of such potential cash payments, in each case, to the extent that such market price exceeds the cap price of the Capped Calls.

The Capped Calls exercise price is equal to the $90.27 initial conversion price of each of the Notes and the cap price of the Capped Calls is initially $107.63 per share, which represents a premium of approximately 55% above the closing price of the Company's common stock on the date of the Notes offering and is subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments. The Capped Calls transactions are separate transactions entered into by the Company with the option counterparties, are not part of the terms of the Notes and will not change the holders’ rights under the notes.

The Company paid approximately $24.5 million for the Capped Calls which was recorded as a reduction to Additional Paid-in Capital in the condensed consolidated statements of equity in the second quarter of 2022, as such transactions qualify for the equity classification with no subsequent adjustment to fair value under ASU 815, Derivatives and Hedging.

COVID-19 consideration

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of the novel coronavirus ("COVID-19") a pandemic. Since that time and through the date of this quarterly report, the Company has implemented significant measures and continues to make efforts in order to meet government requirements and preserve the health and safety of its employees. The Company's preventative measures against COVID-19 and the recent spread of variant strains include working remotely when needed and adopting separate shifts in its power plants, manufacturing facilities and other locations while working to continue operations at close to full capacity in all locations. Since the end of the second quarter of 2021, the Company experienced an easing of government restrictions in areas it operates in, but uncertainty around the impact of COVID-19 continues in addition to supply chain challenges and rising interest rates. The Company has not laid-off or furloughed any employees due to COVID-19 and has continued to pay full salaries. In addition, the Company focused efforts on adjusting its operations to mitigate the impact of COVID-19 including managing its global supply chain risks and enhancing its liquidity profile. As most of the Company's electricity revenues are generated under long term contracts, the majority of which are under a fixed energy rate, the impact of COVID-19 on electricity revenues was limited.

In the Product segment, the Company experienced a significant decline in product backlog, which it believes resulted mainly due to the impact of COVID-19 outbreaks, which resulted in the extended shutdown of certain businesses in certain regions, delays in the supply and increases in the cost of raw materials and components that we purchased for our equipment manufacturing, and increases in the cost of marine transportation. The cost increases limited our ability to secure new purchase orders from potential customers and led to a reduction in our operating margins, which in turn negatively impacted our profitability.Over the last few months we have experienced higher demand for our product segment resulting in increased backlog and improved profitability.

In the Energy Storage segment, revenues are generated primarily from participating in the energy and ancillary services markets and therefore are directly impacted by the prevailing energy prices in those markets. We have experienced and are experiencing supply chain difficulties, as well as an increase in the cost of raw materials and batteries, which may impact our ability to complete the projects on time, and increases overall project costs.

While the extent and duration of the economic downturn from the COVID-19 pandemic remains unclear, the Company has considered, among other things, whether the global operational disruptions indicate a change in circumstances that may trigger asset impairments and whether it needs to revisit accounting estimates and projections or its expectations about collectability of receivables. Additionally, the Company has considered the potential impacts on its fair value disclosures and on its internal control over financial reporting and while significant uncertainty still exists concerning the magnitude of the impact and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic on the global economy, the Company has determined that there was no triggering event for an impairment with respect to any of its assets nor has there been an adverse change in the probability related to the collectability of its receivables. The Company continues to assess the potential impact of the global economic situation on its consolidated financial statements.

Business combination - geothermal assets purchase transaction

On July 13, 2021, the Company closed a transaction with TG Geothermal Portfolio, LLC (a subsidiary of Terra-Gen, LLC) (the "Seller") to acquire two contracted geothermal assets in Nevada with a total net generating capacity of 67.5 MW, a greenfield development asset adjacent to one of the plants, and an underutilized transmission line (the "Terra-Gen Transaction"). The Company paid approximately $171.0 million in cash (excluding working capital adjustment of approximately $10.8 million) for 100% of the equity interests in the entities holding those assets and assumed a financing obligation with a fair value at acquisition date of approximately $258.4 million. The two contracted geothermal assets include the Dixie Valley and Beowawe geothermal power plants which sell power under existing power purchase agreements with Southern California Edison under a long term Power Purchase Agreement ("PPA") expiring in 2038 and with NV Power, Inc. under a PPA expiring in December 2025, respectively.

As a result of the acquisition, the Company expanded its overall generation capacity and expects to improve the profitability of the purchased assets through cost reduction and synergies. The Company accounted for the transaction in accordance with Accounting Standard Codification ("ASC") 805, Business Combinations. Following the transaction, the Company consolidates the Dixie Valley and Beowawe power plants as well as the other geothermal assets included in the transaction in accordance with ASC 810, Consolidation. In 2021, the Company incurred approximately $4.7 million of acquisition-related costs included under "General and administrative expenses" in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021.

(1)

The gross amount of receivables due under the Dixie Valley and Beowawe PPAs is $7.8 million. These receivables were fully collected during the third quarter of 2021.

(2)

Intangible assets are related to the long-term electricity PPAs described above and are amortized over the term of those PPAs

(3)

Goodwill is primarily related to the expected synergies and potential cost savings in operations as a result of the purchase transaction. The goodwill is allocated to the Electricity segment and is deductible for tax purposes pending the exercise of the financial lease buy-out option as described below.

(4)

Finance liability is related to a sale and leaseback transaction entered into by the Seller in September 2015 under which it sold and leased back the undivided interests in the Dixie Valley power plant asset through June 2038. The lease transaction was accounted for by the Seller as a finance lease due to the Seller's continued involvement and management of the power plant and the existence of an early buy-out option in September 2024. As per the accounting guidance, the Company retained the Seller's accounting of a "failed" sale and leaseback transaction and accordingly accounted for the liability as a financial liability. This financial liability, as well as the related power plant asset, were measured at their acquisition-date fair value.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the acquired geothermal power plants contributed $16.3 million and $37.2 million, respectively, to the Company Electricity revenues, $3.4 million and $3.4 million, net of related tax, respectively, to earnings, and $1.6 million and $4.8 million, respectively, to interest expense in respect of the related finance liability. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the acquired geothermal power plants contributed $14.4 million to the Company Electricity revenues, $4.3 million, net of related tax to earnings, and $2.8 million to interest expense in respect of the related finance liability, from acquisition date to September 30, 2021.

The following unaudited pro forma summary presents condensed consolidated information of the Company as if the business combination had occurred on January 1, 2020. The pro forma results below include the impact of certain adjustments related to the depreciation of property plant and equipment, amortization of intangible assets, transaction-related costs incurred as of the acquisition date, and interest expense on related borrowings, and in each case, the related income tax effects, as well as certain other post-acquisition adjustments.

Allowance for credit losses

 

The Company performs an analysis of potential credit losses related to its financial instruments that are within the scope of ASU 2018-19, Codification Improvements to Topic 325, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses, primarily cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and cash equivalents, investment in marketable securities, receivables (excluding those accounted under lease accounting) and costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts, based on classes of financing receivables which share the same or similar risk characteristics such as customer type and geographic location, among others. The Company estimates the expected credit losses for each class of financing receivables by applying the related corporate default rate which corresponds to the credit rating of the specific customer or class of financing receivables. For trade receivables, the Company applied this methodology using aging schedules reflecting how long the receivables have been outstanding. The Company has also considered the existence of credit enhancement arrangements that may mitigate the credit risk of its financial receivables in estimating the applicable corporate default rate. While significant uncertainty still exists concerning the magnitude of the impact and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic on the global economy, the Company considered the current and expected future economic and market conditions surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic and determined that the estimate of credit losses was not significantly impacted.

 

The following table describes the changes in the allowance for expected credit losses for the three and ninemonths ended September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 and 20212022 (all related to trade receivables):

Marketable securities

 

The Company’s investments in marketable securities consisted of debt securities with maturity of up to one year and a high credit rating. The investments in marketable securities waswere classified as available-for-sale ("AFS") and thus measured at fair value based on quoted market prices. Unrealized gains and losses from AFS debt securities were excluded from earnings and reported net of the related tax effect in "Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)". Realized gains and losses from sale of marketable securities, as determined on a specific identification basis, as well as interest income earned, were included in earnings. The Company considers available evidence in evaluating potential impairments of its investments, including credit market conditions, credit ratings of the security as well as the extent to which fair value is less than amortized cost. The Company estimates the lifetime expected credit losses for all AFS debt securities in an unrealized loss position under its allowance for credit losses model. The Company assesses the security’s credit indicators, including credit ratings when estimating a security’s probability of default. If the assessment indicates that an expected credit loss exists, the Company determines the portion of the unrealized loss attributable to credit deterioration and records an allowance for the expected credit loss in earnings. Unrealized gains and losses attributable to non-credit factors were recorded in "Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)", net of tax. Marketable debt securities with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible into a known amount of cash are presented under "Cash and cash equivalents" in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Derivative instruments

 

Derivative instruments (including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts) are measured at their fair value and recorded as either assets or liabilities unless exempted from derivative treatment as a normal purchase and sale. Changes in the fair value of derivatives not designated as hedging instruments are recognized in earnings. Changes in the fair value of derivatives designated as cash flow hedging instruments are initially recorded in "Other comprehensive income (loss)" and a corresponding amount is reclassified out of "Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)" to earnings to offset the remeasurement of the underlying hedge transaction which also impacts the same line item in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.

 

The Company maintains a risk management strategy that may incorporate the use of swap contracts, put options, forward exchange contracts, interest rate swaps, and cross-currency swaps to minimize significant fluctuation in cash flows and/or earnings that are caused by oil and natural gas prices, exchange rate or interest rate volatility.

Transferable production and investment tax credits

The Inflation Reduction Act (“IRA”) was signed into law in August 2022 and introduces a transferability provision for certain tax credits related to the clean production of energy. Under this provision, a reporting entity can monetize such credits through sale to a third party. The option for transferability of credits applies to taxable years beginning after December 31, 2022. Several of the Company’s projects that are not currently part of a tax monetization transaction generate eligible tax credits, such as investment tax credits (“ITCs”) and production tax credits (“PTCs”), that are eligible to be transferred to a third-party under the provisions of the IRA. The Company accounts for ITCs under ASC 740 through the “Income tax (provision) benefit” line in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income. PTC’s are accounted similarly to refundable or direct-pay credits outside of the tax line with income recognized in the “Income attributable to sale of tax benefits” line in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income. Income recognized related to such transferable PTC’s during the three months ended March 31, 2023 was $1.8 million, net of discount.

The amendments in ASU 2023-02 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The amendments in this update should be applied on either a modified retrospective or a retrospective basis. The Company is still evaluating the potential impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements, however, it anticipates that the adoption of ASU 2023-02 will not have an impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 54 FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

 

The fair value measurement guidance clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received upon selling an asset or paid upon transferring a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. The guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under the fair value measurement guidance are described below:

 

Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2 — Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

 

Level 3 — Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity).

 

The following table sets forth certain fair value information at September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 and December 31, 20212022 for financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value by level within the fair value hierarchy, as well as cost or amortized cost. As required by the fair value measurement guidance, assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of inputs that is significant to the fair value measurement.

(1) The foregoing currency forward and price swap transactions were not designated as hedge transactions and were marked to market with the corresponding gains or losses recognized within “Derivatives and foreign currency transaction gains (losses)” in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. The price swap transaction was related to a hedging agreement with a third party that was effective January 1, 2021 under which the Company fixed the price per MWh on a portion of RRS provided by its Rabbit Hill storage facility. The price swap transaction was terminated effective April 1, 2021.

 

(2) The foregoing cross currency swap transactions were designated as a cash flow hedge as further described under Note 1 to the condensed consolidated financial statements. The changes in the cross currency swap fair value are initially recorded in "Other“Other comprehensive income (loss)" and a corresponding amount is reclassified out of "Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)" to "Derivatives“Derivatives and foreign currency transaction gains (losses)" to offset the remeasurement of the underlying hedged transaction which also impacts the same line item in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.

The fair value of the long-term debt is determined by a valuation model, which is based on a conventional discounted cash flow methodology and utilizes assumptions of current borrowing rates, except for the fair value of the Convertible Senior Notes for which the fair value was estimated based on a quoted bid price of the Notes in an over-the-counter market on the last trading day of the reporting period. A hypothetical change in the quoted bid price will result in a corresponding change in the estimated fair value of the Notes.

As disclosed above under Note 1 to the condensed consolidated financial statements, the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in a global economic downturn and market volatility that may still have an impact on the estimated fair value of the Company's long-term debt as the global economic situation evolves.

 

The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, deposits and accounts payable (included in the condensed consolidated balance sheets) approximates their fair value.

NOTE 87 EARNINGS PER SHARE

 

Basic earnings per share attributable to the Company’s stockholders is computed by dividing net income or loss attributable to the Company’s stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. The Company does not have any equity instruments that are dilutive, except for employee stock-based awards.awards and convertible senior notes ("Notes").

 

The table below shows the reconciliation of the number of shares used in the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share (in thousands):

  56,457   56,298   56,479   56,413   57,104   56,366 

 

The number of stock-based awards that could potentially dilute future earnings per share and that were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because to do so would have been anti-dilutive was 27.4106.3 thousand and 145.4207.4 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 and 2021, respectively and 58.0 thousand and 149.2 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2022,and 2021, respectively.

 

As per ASU 2020-06, the if-converted method is required for calculating any potential dilutive effect from convertible instruments. For the three and ninemonths ended September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, the average price of the Company's common stock did not exceed the per share conversion price of the Notes of $90.27, and other requirements for the Notes to be convertible were not met and as such, there was no dilutive effect from the Notes in respect with the aforementioned periods.

NOTE 109 COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

On March 29, 2016, a former local sales representative in Chile, Aquavant, S.A., filed a claim on the basis of unjust enrichment against Ormat’s subsidiaries in the 27th Civil Court of Santiago, Chile. The claim requests that the court order Ormat to pay Aquavant $4.6 million in connection with its activities in Chile, including the EPC contract for the Cerro Pabellon project and various geothermal concessions, plus 3.75% of Ormat geothermal products sales in Chile over the next 10 years. Pursuant to various motions submitted by the defendants and the plaintiffs to various courts, including the Court of Appeals, the case was removed from the original court and then refiled before the 11th Civil Court of Santiago. On April 16, 2020, the 11th Civil Court of Santiago issued its order rejecting plaintiff's principal claim of unjust enrichment, as an improper cause of action, rejecting plaintiff's secondary claim for declaratory judgment, which the Court associates with the principal claim of unjust enrichment and not relating to a number of defenses raised by the Company. In May 2020, each of the parties filed separately to the Court of Appeals, which are pending. On October 19, 2020, the Court of Appeals dismissed all ancillary appeals on procedural issues filed by Aquavant as well as two ancillary appeals on procedural issues filed by the Company. The Company believes it has strong legal defenses and the probability of the claimant receiving an award is low. The potential amount that the Company may bear in this context cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.

On March 3, 2021, a claim and motion to certify a class action was filed in the Tel Aviv District Court (Economic Division) on behalf of Avishai Shmuel Mano against Ormat Technologies Inc. and 23 additional named respondents, who include existing and former directors and officers of the Company. On July 1, 2021, the court accepted plaintiff's motion to withdraw the claim against the named foreign respondents, retaining only the claim against the Company and the named present and former directors and officers who are domiciled in Israel. The claim seeks economic damages of approximately $100 million purportedly caused to shareholders by defendants’ alleged inaccurate reporting and provision of misleading information to the public in breach of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, based on claims made in a report published by short-seller Hindenburg Research on March 1, 2021. On April 13, 2022, the Tel Aviv District Court approved the plaintiff’s motion to withdraw the motion to certify and Ormat will pay immaterial costs of less than $10 thousand.

On July 29, 2021, an arbitration was filed on behalf of Kipreos before CAM Santiago, an electrical works subcontractor who had been hired to perform certain works at the Cerro Pabellon III Project for the recovery of alleged unpaid amounts in the approximate sum of $5.1 million. The Company believes it has strong legal defenses against the claim and the probability of the claimant receiving an award as requested is low. The potential amount that the Company may bear in this context cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.

 

 

On December 15, 2021, the Center for Biological Diversity and the Fallon Paiute-Shoshone Tribe (the “Plaintiffs”) filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the State of Nevada against the U.S. Department of the Interior, the Bureau of Land Management (“the BLM”) and Jake Vialpando, in his official capacity as a field manager of the BLM, alleging that the defendants violated the National Environmental Protection Act and other federal laws by approving Ormat’sthe Company’s Dixie Meadows project and the associated environmental assessment and Finding of No Significant Impact (“FONSI”). Plaintiffs additionally alleged that the project threatens the Dixie Valley Toad and infringes on the tribe’s enjoyment of a religious sacred site.  Plaintiffs sought for the court to vacate and set aside the environmental assessment, FONSI and the BLM’s authorizations for the project and to enjoin project construction. OrmatThe Company intervened in the action on January 4, 2022. On January 14, 2022, the court granted a temporary, 90-day injunction pausing construction of the project while it ruled on the merits of the case.  The Ninth Circuit subsequently set aside the temporary injunction, pending a hearing on June 15, 2022, and construction began in February 2022. On August 1, 2022 the Ninth Circuit issued an order in Ormat’sThe Company’s favor, affirming the District Court’s ruling that an injunction after 90-days was not warranted. On April 4, 2022, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services (“FWS”) emergency listed the Dixie Valley Toad under the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (the “ESA”).  On July 6, 2022,Plaintiffs amended their complaint to add causes of action related to the ESA listing against Ormat.the Company. The Company is currently working with the BLM and FWS in the Section 7 Consultation process including discussion and identification of potential additional mitigation measures, and has agreed to temporarily pause construction of the facility until (1) the FWS issues a Biological Opinion for the Project, or (2) February 28, 2023, whichever is sooner.facility. The Company has requested that the BLM amend the Decision Record to limit the scope of the project to the first planned phase of development, a single power plant of approximately 12 MW. MW and the BLM granted that request. The Company further requested that the Court stay the litigation until the Section 7 Consultation process was complete, and the Court granted the motion to stay on February 14, 2023. The Company believes it has strong legal defenses against the present claims, however, there can be no assurances regarding the resolution of these proceedings. Any additional construction delays imposed by the court, any mitigation or other measures arising from the Dixie Valley Toad’s emergency listing or any combination thereof could cause the Company to incur additional project costs, delay or impede the completion of the project and thus the eventual generation of revenues from the project and/or result in the renegotiation of the PPA for the project on less favorable terms. As a result, at this time, the Company cannot reasonably predict the ultimate outcome of this litigation or regulatory process or estimate the possible loss or range of loss it may bear, if any. As of September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, the aggregated net book value of the Dixie Meadows project was approximately $83.0$84.3 million, which was included under "construction-in-process" in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

In addition, from time to time, the Company is named as a party to various other lawsuits, claims and other legal and regulatory proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of the Company's business. These actions typically seek, among other things, compensation for alleged personal injury, breach of contract, property damage, punitive damages, civil penalties or other losses, or injunctive or declaratory relief. With respect to such lawsuits, claims and proceedings, the Company accrues reserves when a loss is probable, and the amount of such loss can be reasonably estimated. It is the opinion of the Company’s management that the outcome of these proceedings, individually and collectively, will not be material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements as a whole.

 

Other matters

 

On March 2, 2021, the Company's board of directors established a special committee of independent directors (the "Special Committee") to investigate, among other things, certain claims made in a report published by a short seller regarding the Company’s compliance with anti-corruption laws. The Special Committee is working with outside legal counsel to investigate the claims made. All members of the Special Committee are ���independent”“independent” in accordance with the Company's Corporate Governance Guidelines, the NYSE listing standards and SEC rules applicable to boards of directors in general. The Company is also providing information as requested by the SEC and Department of Justice ("DOJ") related to the claims.

 

In Kenya, a task force was appointed by the President to review and analyze PPAs entered into between various independent power producers and KPLC, including the Company's long term PPA for the Olkaria complex. In September 2021 the task force recommended to the President that KPLC review its contracts and attempt renegotiation with Independent Power Producers to secure reductions in PPA tariffs within existing contractual arrangements. The Company was approached by the task force following release of the report. Discussions are continuing.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, many governments have enacted or are contemplating measures to provide aid and economic stimulus. The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”), enacted on March 27, 2020 in the United States provides relief on deferral of tax payments and filings, modifies the net operating loss utilization rules, and temporarily increases the interest expense deduction allowed. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, there were no material tax impacts to our consolidated financial statements as it relates to the CARES Act or other COVID-19 stimulus measures. The Company will continue to monitor additional guidance issued by U.S. Treasury, the Internal Revenue Service and other taxing authorities.

 

On August 16, 2022, President Biden signed into law the Inflation Reduction Act ("IRA").

Our business development activities may not be successful and our projects under construction or facilities undergoing enhancement and repowering may encounter delays.

 

Our future growth depends, in part, on the successful enhancement of a number of our existing facilities.

31

 

We rely on power transmission facilities that we do not own or control.

 

Our use of joint ventures may limit our flexibility with jointly owned investments.

 

Our operations could be adversely impacted by climate change.

We could be negatively impacted by regulatory and other responses to climate change.

 

Geothermal projects that we plan to develop in the future may operate as "merchant" facilities without long-term PPAs and therefore such projects will be exposed to market fluctuations.

 

We may not be able to successfully complete acquisitions, and we may not be able to successfully integrate, or realize anticipated synergies from, companies that we have acquired and may acquire in the future.

 

We may not be able to successfully conclude transactions and integrate companies, thatwhich we acquired previously and may acquire in the future.

 

We encounter intense competition from electric utilities, other power producers, power marketers, developers and third-party investors.

If any of our domestic power plants loses its current Qualifying Facility status under PURPA, or if amendments to PURPA are enacted that substantially reduce the benefits currently afforded to Qualifying Facilities, our domestic operations could be adversely affected.

 

We may experience a reduction or elimination of government incentives.

 

We are a holding company and our cash depends substantially on the performance of our subsidiaries and the power plants they operate, most of which are subject to restrictions and taxation on dividends and distributions.

 

The costs of compliance with federal, state, local and foreign environmental laws and our ability to obtain and maintain environmental permits and governmental approvals required for development, construction and/or operation may result in liabilities, costs and delays in construction (as well as any fines or penalties that may be imposed upon us in the event of any non-compliance or delays with such laws or regulations).

 

We could be exposed to significant liability for violations of hazardous substances laws because of the use or presence of such substances at our power plants.

 

U.S. federal, state and foreign country income tax law changesreform could adversely affect us.

 

Risks Related to Economic and Financial Conditions

 

 

We may be unable to obtain the financing we need on favorable terms to pursue our growth strategy and any future financing we receive may be less favorable to us than our current financing arrangements.

 

We have incurred substantial indebtedness that may decrease our business flexibility, access to capital, and/or increase our borrowing costs, and we may still incur substantially more debt, which may adversely affect our operations and financial results.

 

Our debt obligations may adversely affect our ability to raise additional capital and will be a burden on our future cash resources, particularly if we elect to settle these obligations in cash upon conversion or upon maturity or required repurchase.

General

 

Overview

 

We are a leading vertically integrated company that is primarily engaged in the geothermal energy power business. We are leveragingleverage our core capabilities and global presence to expand our activity in recovered energy generation and into different energy storage services and solar PV (including hybrid geothermal and solar PV as well as energy storageSolar plus solar PV)Energy Storage). Our objective is to become a leading global provider of renewable energy and wehelp to mitigate climate change by providing replacement to carbon-intensive energy sources. We have adopted a strategic plan to focus on several key initiatives to expand our business.

 

We currently conduct our business activities in three business segments:

 

 

Electricity Segment. In the Electricity segment, which contributed 86.9% of our total revenues in the three months ended September 30, 2022, we develop, build, own and operate geothermal, solar PV and recovered energy-based power plants in the United States and geothermal power plants in other countries around the world and sell the electricity they generate. In the three months ended September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, we derived 69.7%71.9% of our Electricity segment revenues from our operations in the United States and 30.3%28.1% from the rest of the world.

 

 

Product Segment. In the Product segment, which contributed 8.1% of our total revenues in the three months ended September 30, 2022, we design, manufacture and sell equipment for geothermal and recovered energy-based electricity generation and remote power units and provide services relating to the engineering, procurement and construction of geothermal and recovered energy-based power plants. In the three months ended September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, we derived 8.9%14.3% of our Product segment revenues from our operations in the United States and 91.1%85.7% from the rest of the world.

 

 

Energy Storage Segment. In the Energy Storage segment, which contributed 5.0% of our total revenues in the three months ended September 30, 2022, we own and operate grid connected In Front of the Meter Battery Energy Storage Systems ("BESS"), which provide capacity, energy and/or ancillary services directly to the electric grid. In the three months ended September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, we derived all of our Energy Storage segment revenues from our operations in the United States.

 

Our current generating portfolio of approximately 1.11.16 GW includes geothermal power plants in the United States, Kenya, Guatemala, Honduras, Guadeloupe and Indonesia, as well as energy storage facilities, recovered energy generation and Solar PV power plants in the United States.

 

COVID-19 Update

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of the novel coronavirus ("COVID-19") a pandemic. Since that time and through the date of this quarterly report, the Company has implemented significant measures and continues to make efforts in order to meet government requirements and preserve the health and safety of its employees. The Company's preventative measures against COVID-19 and the recent spread of variant strains include working remotely when needed and adopting separate shifts in its power plants, manufacturing facilities and other locations while working to continue operations at close to full capacity in all locations. Since the end of the second quarter of 2021, the Company experienced an easing of government restrictions in areas it operates in, but uncertainty around the impact of COVID-19 continues in addition to supply chain challenges and rising interest rates. The Company has not laid-off or furloughed any employees due to COVID-19 and has continued to pay full salaries.

We will continue to monitor developments affecting both our workforce and our customers, and we have taken, and will continue to take, health and safety measures that we determine are necessary in order to mitigate the impacts. To date, as a result of these business continuity measures, we have not experienced material disruptions in our operations due to COVID-19, but have nevertheless experienced the following impacts on our segment operations:

In our Electricity segment, almost all of our revenues in the nine months ended September 30, 2022, were generated under long term contracts and the majority of contracts have a fixed energy rate. As a result, despite logistical and other challenges, COVID-19 caused limited impact on our Electricity segment. Nevertheless, growth in the Electricity segment was and may continue to be adversely impacted by delays in receiving the required development and construction permits, as well as the implications of global and local restrictions on our ability to procure and transport raw materials and increases in the cost of raw materials and transportation.

34

Our Product segment revenues are generated from sales of products and services pursuant to contracts, under which we have a right to payment for any product that was produced for the customer. Recognition of revenue under these contracts is impacted by delays in the progress of the third-party projects, into which our products and services are incorporated. COVID-19 outbreaks resulted in the extended shutdown of certain businesses in certain regions, delays in the supply and increases in the cost of raw materials and components that we purchased for our equipment manufacturing, and increases in the cost of marine transportation. The cost increases limited our ability to secure new purchase orders from potential customers and led to a reduction in our operating margins, which in turn negatively impacted our profitability. Over the last few months we have experienced higher demand for our product segment resulting in increased backlog and improved profitability. We had a product backlog of $137.1million as of November 3, 2022, which includes revenue recognition for the period between October 1, 2022 and November 3, 2022, compared to $66.9 million as of November 3, 2021.

Our Energy Storage segment generates revenues mainly from participating in the energy and ancillary services markets, run by regional transmission operators and independent system operators in the various markets where our assets operate. Therefore, the revenues these assets generate are directly impacted by the prevailing market prices for energy and/or ancillary services. Nevertheless, we have experienced and are experiencing supply chain difficulties, as well as an increase in the cost of raw materials and batteries, which caused delays in commercial operation of some of our energy storage facilities and may impact our ability to complete other future projects on time and increase overall project costs.

In addition, we experience delays in the permitting for new projects in all segments that may result in contractual penalties and cause a delay in those projects.

 

Recent Developments

 

The most significant developments in our Company and business since January 1, 20222023 are described below.

 

 

In October 2022,April, 2023, we signedcommenced commercial operation of the North Valley geothermal power plant. The North Valley power plant provides 25 MW of geothermal power to NV Energy under a fixed price 15-year Energy Storage Power Purchase Agreement (ESPPA) with San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E)25-year agreement to help meet NV Energy’s renewable targets and support increased customer demand for the 80MW (320MWH) Bottleneck Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) located in the Central Valley of California. The ESPPA is subject to CPUC approval. This project, once in operation, is expected to increase 2022 revenues by 50%.around-the-clock clean energy.

 

 

In August 2022, we signed with Contact Energy of New Zealand an EPC contract for a new maximum continuous performance 59MW geothermal power plant in New Zealand and signed a 6MW supply contract with Sarulla Operations Ltd. in Indonesia. The combined expected revenue of the two contracts is approximately $100 million.

In July 2022, we announced the commercial operation of the CD4 30 MW geothermal power plant. The CD4 facility provides 7 MW of geothermal power to two Community Choice Aggregators, Silicon Valley Clean Energy and Central Coast Community Energy, each under a 10-year power purchase agreement (“PPA”), with a total of 14MW. In addition, the facility provides 16 MW of geothermal power to the Southern California Public Power Authority ("SCPPA") under a 25-year agreement.

In July 2022, we completed two Solar PV power plants: (1) the 5 MW Steamboat Hills Solar plant in Nevada that is used for the ancillary needs of the Steamboat Hills geothermal power plant and will free a similar amount of MW to be sold from the geothermal resource to SCPPA under the SCPPA portfolio PPA; and (2) the 20MW Wister power plant in California that sells power under a long-term contract with San Diego Gas & Electric.

In June 2022, the Company issued $375.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 2.5% convertible senior notes due 2027 (the “Notes”). The Notes were offered and sold in a private offering to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to an indenture between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee. Additionally, the Company granted the initial purchasers an option to purchase up to an additional $56.25 million aggregate principal amount of the Notes. The initial purchasers executed their option on June 27, 2022, and by that, increased the total aggregated principal amount of the Notes issued to $431.25 million. The Notes will mature on July 15, 2027, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased. Interest will accrue on the Notes at a rate of 2.50% per year and will be payable semiannually in arrears on January 15 and July 15 of each year, beginning on January 15, 2023.

The Notes are convertible at the option of the holders, prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding January 15, 2027, only under certain circumstances and during certain periods, and thereafter, at any time until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date. The initial conversion rate for the Notes will be 11.0776 shares of the Company’s common stock for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes (equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $90.27 per share of the Company’s common stock). The initial conversion price of the Notes represents a premium of approximately 30% over the last reported sales price of the Company’s common stock on the New York Stock Exchange on June 22, 2022. Upon conversion, the Company will pay cash up to the aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be converted and pay or deliver, as the case may be, cash, shares of the Company’s common stock or a combination of cash and shares of the Company’s common stock, at the Company’s election, in respect of the remainder, if any, of the Company’s conversion obligation in excess of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes being converted. The Notes will not be redeemable at the Company’s option prior to July 21, 2025. On or after July 21, 2025 and on or prior to the 41st scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, the Notes will be redeemable at the Company’s option if the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock has been at least 130% of the conversion price then in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during any 30 consecutive trading day period (including the last trading day of such period) ending on and including the trading day immediately preceding the date on which the Company provides notice of redemption at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date.

35

The net proceeds from the sale of the Notes were approximately $419.7 million. The Company used (1) approximately $18.0 million of the net proceeds from this offering to repurchase concurrently with the closing of the offering shares of its common stock in privately negotiated transactions at a price per share equal to $69.45, (2) approximately $24.5 million of the net proceeds from this offering to pay the cost of the capped call transactions (as described below), (3) approximately $221.9 million to fund the prepayment of its Series 3 Bonds, and accrued and unpaid interest thereon, and make-whole payments, and (4) the remainder for general corporate purposes. The Company intends to allocate an amount equivalent to the net proceeds from this offering to finance and/or refinance, in whole or in part, one or more "eligible green projects" in accordance with the Company’s Green Finance Framework, which is available on our website under “Sustainability—Ormat Polices. In addition to proceeds from the offering, the Company may use cash from operations or borrowings under its credit facilities in order to effect such allocation. Information on our website is not incorporated by reference in this Quarterly Report.

In connection with the issuance of the convertible notes described above, the Company entered into capped call transactions (the "Capped Calls") with certain counterparties. The capped call transactions is described in details under Item 1 - Financial Statements.

In June 2022, we announced the commercial operation of the 5 MW/20 MWh Tierra Buena Battery Energy Storage System (Tierra Buena BESS). The Tierra Buena BESS will provide local resource adequacy to two Community Choice Aggregators (CCAs), Redwood Coast Energy Authority and Valley Clean Energy, at 2.5 MW each, under 10-year agreements. In addition, the facility will provide ancillary services and energy optimization through participation in merchant markets run by the California Independent System Operator (CAISO). The facility will connect to the adjacent Pacific Gas & Electric distribution circuit.

In June 2022, we paid $221.9 million to prepay our senior unsecured Series 3 Bonds. The payment included the outstanding amount that was due in September 2022 and the interest related to the prepayment make-whole.

In June 2022, we announced the election of Michal Marom and Karin Corfee to the Company’s Board of Directors, effective immediately. Ms. Marom will also serve as the Chair of the Audit Committee and a member of the Compensation Committee. Ms. Marom and Ms. Corfee replaced the departing Board members Dan Falk and Albertus Bruggink, respectively. With these new additions, one third of Ormat’s Board of Directors will be represented by women.

In June 2022, we announced the execution of a PPA with California Community Power (CC Power), a Joint Powers Agency consisting of numerous CCAs. Energy deliveries under the portfolio PPA are expected to start in the second quarter of 2024, with the expectation that the entire portfolio covered under the new PPA will be online by the end of 2026. The portfolio PPA covers up to 125MW for a term of 20 years and is comprised entirely of new projects currently under construction or in development in Nevada and California. CC Power has the right for one time adjustment to the maximum portfolio within 120 days from signing. Capacity is subject to CAISO connection approval.

In May 2022, we announced the execution of two PPAs with NV Energy. Under the first PPA, signed in 2021, NV Energy will purchase 25 MW of power over 25 years generated by the North Valley Geothermal Project, a new facility expected to come online by early 2023. Additionally, NV Energy will purchase up to 135 MW of power generated by a portfolio of the Company's new and existing geothermal power plants under a PPA signed in May. The portfolio PPA is subject to Public Utility Commission’s approval.

In April 2022,and May we commenced the commercial operation of two energy storage facilities, Howell and Bowling Green. The Howell BESS projects, located in New Jersey, and the Tungsten Mountain 2 geothermal power plant, which sells an additional 13 MWBowling Green BESS project located in Ohio will add 7MW and 12MW of capacity respectively, and will be providing ancillary services to the Southern California Public Power Authority ("SCPPA") under the SCPPA portfolio PPA. The addition of Tungsten Mountain 2 to our existing Tungsten geothermal power plant increased our total Tungsten complex geothermal capacity to 42 MW.PJM.

 

 

In March 2022,2023, we signedannounced that we closed a 15-year PPA with Peninsula Clean Energy,public offering of 3,600,000 shares of our common stock at a CCA that provides more than 3,500 gigawatt hoursprice of electricity$82.6 per share.

Our 40In January 2023, we, together with PT Medco Power Indonesia (“Medco Power”), signed a Financing Agreement with PT Sarana Multi Infrastruktur (Persero) (“SMI”) for development of the Ijen Geothermal Power Plant. The Ijen power plant will be developed in stages and the first phase of development is expected to generate 34 MW Heber 1in 2025. MCG, a jointly owned company between Medco Power (51% equity share) and Ormat Technologies (49% equity share), will develop and operate the first geothermal power plant located in California is experiencing an outage following a fire on February 25, 2022, that caused damage primarily to the steam turbine-generator area. The Heber 1 power plant is part of the 81 MW Heber complex and sells its electricity under a long-term contract with the Southern California Public Power Authority.East Java. The Company is still evaluating the costalso signed a contract as a key contractor on Ormat Energy Converter (“OEC") supply for this project and the timesecured $32.1 million to restore all or part of the Heber 1 power plants back to operation. In mid-April, the Company gradually re-started operation of the binary units and the Heber 1 power plant is currently running at approximately 20 MW. We hold business interruption insurance subject to a 45-day deductible period in addition to property damage insurance with customary deductibles, and are working with insurers to collect under those policies. We estimate that the outage will reduce the monthly revenues by approximately $1.5 million. At this stage, we believe the insurance proceeds from the property damage will exceed the depreciated book value of the damaged property.our backlog.

 

Trends and Uncertainties

 

Different trends, factors and uncertainties may impact our operations and financial condition, including many that we do not or cannot foresee. However, we believe that our results of operations and financial condition for the foreseeable future will be primarily affected by the following trends, factors and uncertainties discussed in our 2021 Annual Report under “Part II - Item 7 – Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation”, in addition to the information set forth in this quarterly report. These trends, factors and uncertaintiesthat are, from time to time, also subject to market cycles.cycles:

There has been increased demand for energy generated from geothermal and other renewable resources in the United States as costs for electricity generated from renewable resources have become more competitive. Much of this is attributable to legislative and regulatory requirements and incentives, such as state RPS and federal tax credits such as PTCs or ITCs (which are discussed in more detail in the section entitled “Government Grants and Tax Benefits” below). We believe that future demand for energy generated from geothermal and other renewable resources in the United States will be driven primarily by further commitment to, and implementation of, state RPS and greenhouse gas reduction initiatives.

28

The U.S. federal government has taken certain actions which are supportive of the industry for climate solutions. In August 2022, the President of the United States signed into law the IRA of 2022. The IRA includes several tax incentives to promote climate change mitigation and clean energy, electric vehicles, battery and energy storage manufacture or purchase. The U.S. presidential administration has taken immediate steps at the federal level which we believe signify support for climate solutions, including, but not limited to, rejoining the Paris Climate Accords and re-establishing a social price on carbon used in cost/benefit analysis for policy making. We expect this current administration, combined with a closely divided Congress, will usher in additional regulations supportive of the markets in which we invest.

We expect that a variety of local governmental initiatives will create new opportunities for the development of new projects with the potential to realize higher returns on our equity as well as to create additional markets for our products. These initiatives include the award of long-term contracts to independent power generators, the creation of competitive wholesale markets for selling and trading energy, capacity and related energy products and the adoption of programs designed to encourage “clean” renewable and sustainable energy sources.

In the Product segment, we see new opportunities  for business in New Zealand, the U.S., Asia Pacific and Central and South America. In addition a new tariff structure was recently introduce in Turkey, which we expect should increase demand for new development. The new tariff includes incentives for local manufacturing and we are currently evaluating the tariff and implication on us. We have experienced increased competition from binary power plant equipment suppliers including the major steam turbine manufacturers. While we believe that we have a distinct competitive advantage based on our technology, accumulated experience and current worldwide share of installed binary generation capacity, an increase in competition may impact our ability to secure new purchase orders from potential customers. The increased competition may also lead to further reductions in the prices that we are able to charge for our binary equipment.

 

 

Russia’s invasion of and military attacks on Ukraine, including indirect impacts as a result of sanctions and economic disruption, has complicated and may continue to further complicate existing supply chain constraints. Supply chain constraints may cause cost increases of raw materials, commodities and equipment that could adversely affect our profit margins.

 

 

In the markets in which we operate, particularly in the U.S, there have been higher rates of inflation in recent months.over the last year. While our U.S. contracts are not indexed to inflation most of our international-based contracts are indexed to inflation. If inflation continues to increase in our markets, it may increase our expenses such that our profit margins could be adversely impacted. It may also increase the costs of some of our development projects that could negatively impact their competitiveness.

 

 

Interest rate increases for both short-term and long-term debt have increased sharply. Although our outstanding debt mostly bears fixed interest rates, as we refinance it, or borrow additional amounts, we may incur additional interest expense versus expiring loans.

 

Revenues

 

For the ninethree months ended September 30, 2022, 89.3%March 31, 2023, 92.5% of our Electricity segment revenues were from PPAs with fixed energy rates, which are not affected by fluctuations in energy commodity prices. We have variable price PPAs in California and Hawaii, which provide for payments based on the local utilities’ avoided cost, which is the incremental cost that the power purchaser avoids by not having to generate such electrical energy itself or purchase it from others,others. In Hawaii, the prices paid for electricity pursuant to the 25 MW PPA for the Puna Complex in Hawaii change primarily as follows:a result of variations in the price of oil as well as other commodities.  In 2019, we signed a new PPA related to Puna with fixed prices, increased capacity and extended the term until 2052. We are currently negotiating economic amendments to the PPA which are subject to PUC approval.

The energy rates under the PPAs in California for the 12MW Heber 2 power plant in the Heber Complex change primarily based on fluctuations in natural gas prices. We recently signed a new PPA for the Heber 2 plant, effective January 1, 2023, with a fixed energy rate.

The prices for electricity pursuant to the 25 MW PPA for the Puna Complex in Hawaii change primarily as a result of variations in the price of oil as well as other commodities.

 

To comply with obligations under their respective PPAs, certain of our project subsidiaries are structured as special purpose, bankruptcy remote entities and their assets and liabilities are ring-fenced. Such assets are not generally available to pay our debt, other than debt at the respective project subsidiary level. However, these project subsidiaries are allowed to pay dividends and make distributions of cash flows generated by their assets to us, subject in some cases to restrictions in debt instruments, as described below.

 

Electricity segment revenues are also subject to seasonal variations and are affected by higher-than-average ambient temperatures, as described below under “Seasonality”.

 

29

Revenues attributable to our Product segment are based on the sale of equipment, engineering, procurement and construction contracts and the provision of various services to our customers. Product segment revenues vary from period to period because of the timing of our receipt of purchase orders and the progress of our equipment manufacturing and execution of the relevant project.

37

 

Revenues attributable to our Energy Storage segment are generated by several grid-connected BESS facilities that we own and operate that sell energy, capacity and/or ancillary services in merchant markets like PJM Interconnect, ISO New England, ERCOT and CAISO. The revenues fluctuate over time since a large portion of such revenues are generated in the merchant markets, where price volatility is inherent.

In the ninethree months ended September 30,March 31, 2023 and 2022, 31% and 2021, 33% and 34% of our total revenues, respectively, were derived from foreign locations, and our foreign operations were significantly more profitablehad higher gross margins than our U.S. operations in each of those periods. A substantial portion of international revenues came from Kenya and, to a lesser extent, from Honduras, Guadeloupe, Guatemala and other countries. Our operations in Kenya contributed disproportionately to gross profit and net income. The contribution to combined pre-tax income of our domestic and foreign operations within our Electricity segment and Product segment differ in a number of ways.

 

Electricity Segment. DomesticOur Electricity segment domestic revenues were approximately 70%72% and 68%71% of our total Electricity segment for the ninethree months ended September 30,March 31, 2023 and 2022, and 2021, respectively. However, domestic operations have higher costs of revenues and expenses than our foreign operations. Our foreign power plants are located in lower-cost regions, like Kenya, Guatemala, Honduras and Guadeloupe, which favorably impact payroll, and maintenance expenses among other items. Our power plants in foreign locations are also newer than most of our domestic power plants and therefore tend to have lower maintenance costs and higher availability factors than our domestic power plants. Consequently, in the ninethree months ended September 30,March 31, 2023 and 2022, and 2021, our Electricitythe international operations of the segment foreign operations accounted for 46%40% and 47%45% of our total gross profits, 74%54% and 72% of our net income (assuming the majority of corporate operating expenses and financing are recorded under our domestic jurisdiction) and 39%35% and 47%38% of our EBITDA, respectively.

 

3931

 

Product Segment. ForeignOur Product segment foreign revenues were approximately 93%86% and 85%96% of our total Product segment revenues for the ninethree months ended September 30,March 31, 2023 and 2022, and 2021, respectively.

 

Energy Storage Segment. DomesticOur Energy Storage segment domestic revenues were 100% of our total Energy storage segment revenues for each of the three months ended September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 and 2021.2022.

 

Seasonality

 

Electricity generation from some of our geothermal power plants is subject to seasonal variations. In the winter, our power plants produce more energy primarily attributable to the lower ambient temperature, which has a favorable impact on the energy component of our Electricity segment revenues and in the summer, our power plants produce less energy primarily attributable to the higher ambient temperature. The prices under many of our contracts are fixed throughout the year with no time-of-use impact, however, theimpact. The prices paid for electricity under the PPAs for one of the Heber 2 power plants in the Heber Complex, the Mammoth Complex and the North Brawley power plant in California, the Raft River power plant in Idaho, the Neal Hot Springs power plant in Oregon and the recently acquired Dixie Valley power plant in Nevada are higher in the months of June through September. The higher payments payable under these PPAs in the summer months partially offset the negative impact on our revenues from lower generation in the summer.summer attributable to a higher ambient temperature. As a result, we expect the revenues and gross profit in the winter months to be higher than the revenues and gross profit in the summer months and in general we expect the first and fourth quarters to generate higher revenues than the second and third quarters.

Energy Storage Segment

Revenues attributable to our Energy Storage segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 were $22.9 million compared to $24.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The decrease is mainly due to a decrease of $6.8 million in revenues from the Rabbit Hill battery energy storage facility primarily as a result of the February 2021 power crisis in Texas, which resulted in a record high increase in demand for electricity on the one hand and a significant decrease in electricity supply in the region on the other hand. This led to a significant increase in the Responsive Reserve Service market price during this weather event. This decrease from 2021 was offset by higher revenues at PJM and CAISO facilities due to high energy rates and increased performance of the assets in 2022.

Equity in earnings (losses) of investees, net is mainly derived from our 12.75% share in the earnings or losses in the Sarulla consortium. The change between the reported periods is primarily related to our portion in the lower net income in Sarulla as a result of lower generation as well as higher write-down of assets expected to be uncollectible during the period.Consortium ("Sarulla"). During the second quarter of 2022, Sarulla agreed with its banks on a framework that will enable it to perform remediation work that is aimed to restore the plant’s performance, theperformance. The recovery plan is ongoing;  however, uncertainty remains regarding Sarulla’s ability to meet the plan and we are evaluating the impact of the plan on future performance. As we determined that the current situation and circumstances related to our equity method investment in Sarulla are temporary, no impairment testing was required for the period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Our principal sources of liquidity have been derived from cash flows from operations, proceeds from third party debt such as borrowings under our credit facilities, private or public offerings and issuances of debt or equity securities, project financing and tax monetization transactions, short term borrowing under our lines of credit, and proceeds from the sale of equity interests in one or more of our projects. We have utilized this cash to develop and construct power plants, fund our acquisitions, pay down existing outstanding indebtedness, and meet our other cash and liquidity needs.

 

50

As of September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, we had access to (i) $154.6$414.9 million in cash and cash equivalents, of which $40.7$100.3 million is held by our foreign subsidiaries; and (ii) $387.4$391.0 million of unused corporate borrowing capacity under existing committed lines of credit with different commercial banks.

 

Our estimated capital needs for the remainder of 20222023 include $160.0$494.0 million for capital expenditures on new projects under development or construction including energy storage projects, exploration activity and maintenance capital expenditures for our existing projects. In addition, $34.0$143.1 million will be needed for long-term debt repayment.

 

We expect to finance these requirements with: (i) the sources of liquidity described above; (ii) positive cash flows from our operations; and (iii) future project financings and re-financings (including construction loans and tax equity). Management believes that, based on the current stage of implementation of our strategic plan, the sources of liquidity and capital resources described above will address our anticipated liquidity, capital expenditures, and other investment requirements.

 

As of September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, we continue to maintain our assertion to no longer indefinitely reinvest foreign funds held by our foreign subsidiaries, with the exception of a certain balance held in Israel, and have accrued the incremental foreign withholding taxes. Accordingly, during the ninethree months ended September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, we included a foreign income tax expense of $1.4$0.4 million related to foreign withholding taxes on accumulated earnings of all of our foreign subsidiaries.

Restrictive Covenants

 

Our obligations under the credit agreements, the loan agreements, and the trust instrument governing the bonds described above, are unsecured, but we are subject to a negative pledge in favor of the banks and the other lenders and certain other restrictive covenants. These include, among other things, restraints on: (i) creating any floating charge or any permanent pledge, charge or lien over our assets without obtaining the prior written approval of the lender; (ii) guaranteeing the liabilities of any third party without obtaining the prior written approval of the lender; and (iii) selling, assigning, transferring, conveying or disposing of all or substantially all of our assets, or a change of control in our ownership structure. Some of the credit agreements, the term loan agreements, and the trust instrument contain cross-default provisions with respect to other material indebtedness owed by us to any third party. In some cases, we have agreed to maintain certain financial ratios, which are measured quarterly, such as: (i) equity of at least $750 million and in no event less than 25% of total assets; and (ii) 12-month debt, net of cash, cash equivalents, and short-term bank deposits to Adjusted EBITDA ratio not to exceed 6.0. As of September 30, 2022:March 31, 2023: (i) total equity was $1,992.3$2,337.0 million and the actual equity to total assets ratio was 44.0%46.6% and (ii) the 12-month debt, net of cash, cash equivalents, to Adjusted EBITDA ratio was 4.12.3.45. During the ninethree months ended September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, we distributed interim dividends in an aggregate amount of $20.2$6.7 million. The failure to perform or observe any of the covenants set forth in such agreements, subject to various cure periods, would result in the occurrence of an event of default and would enable the lenders to accelerate all amounts due under each such agreement.

51

 

As described above, we are currently in compliance with our covenants with respect to the credit agreements, the loan agreements and the trust instrument, (except as described below), and believe that the restrictive covenants, financial ratios and other terms of any of our full-recourse bank credit agreements will not materially impact our business plan or operations.

 

As of September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, we did not meet the dividend distribution criteria related to the DAC 1 Senior Secured Notes and the financing liability assumed as part of the Terra-Gen purchase transactionUSG Prudential - NV, which resulted in certain equity distribution restrictions from these related subsidiaries.

Non-GAAP Measures: EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

 

We calculate EBITDA as net income before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and amortization.accretion. We calculate Adjusted EBITDA as net income before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and amortization,accretion, adjusted for (i) mark-to-market gains or losses from accounting for derivatives, (ii) stock-based compensation, (iii) merger and acquisition transaction costs, (iv) gain or loss from extinguishment of liabilities, (v) cost related to a settlement agreement, (vi) non-cash impairment charges; (vii) write-off of unsuccessful exploration activities; and (v)(viii) other unusual or non-recurring items. We adjust for these factors as they may be non-cash, unusual in nature and/or are not factors used by management for evaluating operating performance. We believe that presentation of these measures will enhance an investor’s ability to evaluate itsour financial and operating performance. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not measurements of financial performance or liquidity under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or U.S. GAAP, and should not be considered as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities or as a measure of liquidity or an alternative to net earnings as indicators of our operating performance or any other measures of performance derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Our Board of Directors and senior management use EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate our financial performance. However, other companies in our industry may calculate EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do.

 

Starting in the fourth quarter of 2022, we include accretion expenses related to asset retirement obligation in the adjustments to net income when calculating EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA. The presentation of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA includes accretion expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2023, however, the prior year has not been recast to include accretion expenses as the amounts were immaterial.

Net income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 was $19.8 million and $57.6$33.5 million, compared to $20.8 million and $53.8$22.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021March 31, 2022 respectively.

 

Adjusted EBITDA for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 was $102.2$123.5 million, and $310.8 million, respectively, compared to $101.6 million and $285.4$107.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, respectively.

In May 2014, the Sarulla consortium ("SOL") closed $1,170 million in financing through SOL. As of September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, the SOL credit facility had an outstanding balance of $876.2$836.6 million. Our proportionate share in the SOL credit facility is $111.7$106.7 million. In September 2022, the last calculation period, Sarulla was able to meet its historical debt service coverage ratio covenant under the credit facility agreement notwithstanding the lower performance of the power plants, and it was able to pay the entire current Extended Political Risk Guaranty (EPRG) premium due in September 2022 (but not to eliminate the overdue EPRG amount of approx. $1.5 million from past periods). However, the consortium projects that the minimum DSCR requirement for the next calculation period ending on March 2023 will not be met. During the second quarter of 2022, Sarulla agreed with its banks on a framework that will enable it to perform remediation work that is aimed to restore the plant’s performance,performance. The recovery plan is ongoing;  however, uncertainty remains regarding Sarulla’s ability to meet the plan and we are evaluating the impact of the plan on future performance. As we determined that the current situation and circumstances related to our equity method investment in Sarulla are temporary, no impairment testing was required for the period.

Capital Expenditures

 

Our capital expenditures primarily relate to: (i) the development and construction of new power plants, (ii) the enhancement of our existing power plants; and (iii) investment in activities under our strategic plan.

 

The following is an overview of projects that are fully released for construction.

 

Heber Complex (California). We are currently in the process of repowering the Heber 1 and Heber 2 power plants.plant. We are planning to replace the steam turbine and old OEC units with new advanced technology equipment that will add a net capacity of 118 MW. Following these enhancements, we expect the capacity of the complex to reach 9289 MW. Construction ofPre-Commissioning activities at Heber 1 has started and construction of Heber 2 is near completion.are ongoing. We expect commercial operation of Heber 2 repowering in the fourth quarter of 2022 and Heber 1 repowering in the first halfsecond quarter of 2023.

Dixie Meadows (Nevada). We are developing the 12 MW Dixie Meadows geothermal power plant in Nevada.

Steamboat Solar (Nevada). We are currently developing a Solar PV power plant adjacent to our Steamboat 2/3 geothermal power plant at the Steamboat complex in Nevada. The project is expected to generate approximately 5 AC7 MW that will be used for the ancillary needs of the geothermal power plant and will free a similar amount of MW to be sold from the geothermal resource to SCPPA under the SCPPA portfolio PPA. Construction commenced and we expect commercial operation of the Steamboat 2/3 Solar PV is delayed due to weather conditions and commercial operation is expected in the firstsecond half of 2023.

 

Zunil Upgrade (Guatemala). We are expanding the Zunil geothermal power plant in Guatemala to add 5 MW of additional capacity. We are planning to sell the electricity generated under the existing PPA with the local utility, Instituto Nacional de Electrification or “INDE”. Construction has been completed and drilling is still ongoing. Commercial operation is expected in the first half of 2023.

 

North Valley (Nevada). We are developing the 25 MW North Valley geothermal power plant in Nevada. We recently signed a long term PPA with NV Energy. Construction is ongoing and commercial operation is expected in the first quarter of 2023.

Brady Solar (Nevada). We are currently developing a Solar PV power plant adjacent to our Brady geothermal complex in Nevada. The project is expected to generate approximately 6 MW that will be used for the ancillary needs of the geothermal power plant and will free a similar amount of MW to be sold from the geothermal resource to SCPPA under the SCPPA portfolio PPA. Construction commenced and equipment deliveries are ongoing. We expect commercial operation in Q1 2023.

The following is an overview of projects that are in initial stages of construction:

 

Carson Lake Project. We plan to develop between 10 MW to 15 MW at the Carson Lake project on BLM leases located in Churchill County, Nevada. We signed a Small Generator Interconnection Agreement with NV Energy in December 2017. As of September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, we are planning to begin the drilling activity next year.

 

We have budgeted approximately $600.0$570.0 million in capital expenditures for construction of new projects and enhancements to our existing power plants, of which we had invested $305.0$317.0 million as of September 30, 2022.March 31, 2023. We expect to invest approximately $88.0$164.0 million in the rest of 20222023 and the remaining approximately $207.0$89.0 million thereafter.

 

In addition, we estimate approximately $72.0$330.0 million in additional capital expenditures in 20222023 to be allocated as follows: (i) approximately $32.0$89.0 million for the exploration, drilling and development of new projects and enhancements of existing power plants that are not yet released for full construction; (ii) approximately $15.0$49.0 million for maintenance capital expenditures for our operating power plants; (iii) approximately $23.0$175.0 million for the construction and development of energy storage projects; and (iv) approximately $2.0$17.0 million for enhancements to our production facilities.

 

In the aggregate, we estimate our total capital expenditures for the last  twothree quarters of 20222023 to be approximately $160.0$494.0 million.

 

Exposure to Market Risks

 

Based on current conditions, we believe that we have sufficient financial resources to fund our activities and execute our business plans. However, the cost of obtaining financing for our project needs may increase significantly or such financing may be difficult to obtain.

 

We, like other power plant operators, are exposed to electricity price volatility risk. Our exposure to such market risk is currently limited because the majority of our long-term PPAs have fixed or escalating rate provisions that limit our exposure to changes in electricity prices. Our energy storage projects sell primarily on a "merchant" basis and are exposed to changes in the electricity market prices.

 

The energy payments under the PPAs of the Heber 2 power plant in the Heber Complex until the end of 2022, are determined by reference to the relevant power purchaser’s short run avoided cost. A decline in the price of natural gas will result in a decrease in the incremental cost that the power purchaser avoids by not generating its electrical energy needs from natural gas, or by reducing the price of purchasing its electrical energy needs from natural gas power plants, which in turn will reduce the energy payments that we may charge under the relevant PPA for these power plants. The Puna Complex is currently benefiting from energy prices which are higher than the floor under the 25 MW PPA for the Puna Complex. For both Heber 2 and Puna power plantsplant we signed a new PPA withand for Puna we are currently negotiating a new PPA, for a fixed energy rates,rate, as discussed above.

 

45

As of September 30, 2022, 98.6%March 31, 2023, 98.8% of our consolidated long-term debt was fixed rate debt and therefore was not subject to interest rate volatility risk and 1.4%1.2% of our long-term debt was floating rate debt, exposing us to interest rate risk in connection therewith. As of September 30, 2022, $29.5March 31, 2023, $26.0 million of our long-term debt wasremained subject to interest rate risk.

 

Our cash equivalents are subject to interest rate risk. We currently maintain our surplus cash in short-term, interest-bearing bank deposits, money market funds, corporate bonds and commercial paperdebt securities available for sale (with a minimum investment grade rating of A+ by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services).

Our cash equivalents are subject to interest rate risk. Fixed rate securities may have their market value adversely impacted by a rise in interest rates, while floating rate securities may produce less income than expected if interest rates fall. As a result of these factors, our future investment income may fall short of expectations because of changes in interest rates or we may suffer losses in principal if we are forced to sell securities that decline in market value because of changes in interest rates.

58

 

We are also exposed to foreign currency exchange risk, in particular the fluctuation of the U.S. dollar versus the New Israeli Shekels ("NIS") in Israel and the Euro. Risks attributable to fluctuations in currency exchange rates can arise when we or any of our foreign subsidiaries borrow funds or incur operating or other expenses in one type of currency but receive revenues in another. In such cases, an adverse change in exchange rates can reduce such subsidiary’s ability to meet its debt service obligations, reduce the amount of cash and income we receive from such foreign subsidiary, or increase such subsidiary’s overall expenses. In Kenya, the tax asset is recorded in Kenyan Shillings ("KES") similar to the tax liability, however any change in the exchange rate in the KES versus the U.S. dollar has an impact on our financial results. Risks attributable to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates can also arise when the currency denomination of a particular contract is not the U.S. dollar. Substantially all of our PPAs in the international markets are either U.S. dollar-denominated or linked to the U.S. dollar except for our operations on Guadeloupe, where we own and operate the Boulliante power plant which sells its power under a Euro-denominated PPA with Électricité de France S.A. Our construction contracts from time to time contemplate costs which are incurred in local currencies. The way we often mitigate such risk is to receive part of the proceeds from the contract in the currency in which the expenses are incurred. Currently, we have forward and cross-currency swap contracts in place to reduce our NIS/U.S. dollar currency exposure and expect to continue to use currency exchange and other derivative instruments to the extent we deem such instruments to be the appropriate tool for managing such exposure.

 

On July 1, 2020, we concluded an auction tender and accepted subscriptions for senior unsecured bonds comprised of NIS 1.0 billion aggregate principal amount (the “Senior Unsecured Bonds - Series 4”). The Senior Unsecured Bonds - Series 4 were issued in NISNew Israeli Shekels and converted to approximately $290 million using a cross-currency swap transaction shortly after the completion of such issuance.

 

In June 2022, we issued $431.3 million aggregate principal amount of our 2.5% convertible senior notes due in 2027. The Notes bear annual interest of 2.5%, payable semiannually in arrears, and mature on July 15, 2027, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased.

 

We performed a sensitivity analysis on the fair valuevalues of our long-term debt obligations, and foreign currency exchange forward contracts. The foreign currency exchange forward contracts listed below principally relate to trading activities. The sensitivity analysis involved increasing and decreasing forward rates at September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 and December 31, 20212022 by a hypothetical 10% and calculating the resulting change in the fair values.

 

At this time, the development of our strategic plan has not exposed us to any additional market risk. However, as the implementation of the plan progresses, we may be exposed to additional or different market risks.

In July 2019, the United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority (the “FCA”), which regulates LIBOR (London Interbank Offered Rate), announced that it intends to phase out LIBOR. LIBOR is still in use and being published until its phaseout in June 2023 in order to allow a transition period mainly for contracts that already exist using LIBOR. Additionally, the FCA has stated that no new contracts using U.S. dollar LIBOR should be entered into after December 31, 2021. The U.S. Federal Reserve, in conjunction with the Alternative Reference Rates Committee, a steering committee comprised of large U.S. financial institutions, is considering replacing U.S. dollar LIBOR with a new index calculated by short-term repurchase agreements, backed by Treasury securities ("SOFR"). SOFR is observed and backward-looking, which stands in contrast with LIBOR under the current methodology, which is an estimated forward-looking rate and relies, to some degree, on the expert judgment of submitting panel members. Given that SOFR is a secured rate backed by government securities, it would not take into account bank credit risk (as is the case with LIBOR). Therefore, the SOFR rate, if adopted, would likely be lower than LIBOR rates and is less likely to correlate with the funding costs of financial institutions.

We have evaluated the impact of the transition from LIBOR, and currently believe that the transition will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Effect of Inflation

 

We are seeing an increase in overall operating and other costs as the result of higher inflation rates, in particular in the United States. In addition, we are experiencing an increaseincreases in raw material cost and supply chain delays, which may put pressure on our operating margins in the Product segment and increase our cost to build our own power plants and energy storage assets. To address the possibility of rising inflation, some of our contracts include certain provisions that mitigate inflation risk.

 

In connection with the Electricity segment, none of our U.S. PPAs, including the SCPPA Portfolio PPA, are directly linked to the Consumer Price Index ("CPI"). Inflation may directly impact an expense we incur for the operation of our projects, thereby increasing our overall operating costs and reducing our profit and gross margin. The negative impact of inflation would be partially offset by price adjustments built into some of our PPAs that could be triggered upon such occurrences. In addition to the Heber 2 and part of the Puna rates that are impacted by higher commodity prices, the energy payments pursuant to our PPAs for some of our power plants such as the Brady power plant, the Steamboat 2 and 3 power plants and the McGinness Complex increase every year through the end of the relevant terms of such agreements, although such increases are not directly linked to the CPI or any other inflationary index. Lease payments are generally fixed, while royalty payments are generally calculated as a percentage of revenues and therefore are not significantly impacted by inflation. In our Product segment, inflation may directly impact fixed and variable costs incurred in the construction of third party power plants, thereby lowering our profit margins at the Product segment. We are more likely to be able to offset long term, all or part of this inflationary impact through our project pricing. With respect to power plants that we build for our own electricity production, inflationary pricing may impact our operating costs which may be partially offset in the pricing of the new long-term PPAs that we negotiate.

 

Interest rate increases for both short-term and long-term debt have increased sharply. Although our outstanding debt mostly bears fixed interest rates, as we refinance it, or borrow additional amounts, we may incur additional interest expense versus expiring loans.

 

Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments

 

We have various contractual obligations, which are recorded as liabilities in our consolidated condensed financial statements. Other items are not recognized as liabilities in our consolidated condensed financial statements but are required to be disclosed. There have been no material changes, outside of the ordinary course of business, to our contractual obligations as previously disclosed in our 20212022 Annual Report.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

Our credit risk is currently concentrated with the following major customers: Sierra Pacific Power Company and Nevada Power Company (subsidiaries of NV Energy), SCPPA and KPLC. If any of these electric utilities fail to make payments under its PPAs with us, such failure would have a material adverse impact on our financial condition. Also, as we implement our multi-year strategic plan we may be exposed, by expanding our customer base, to different credit profile customers than our current customers. 

 

The Company's revenues from its primary customers as a percentage of total revenues are as follows:

The Company believes it will be able to collect all past due amounts in Honduras.

Government Grants and Tax Benefits 

 

A comprehensive discussion on government grants and tax benefits is included in our 20212022 Annual Report. There has been some change to the comprehensive discussion as noted below.

 

On August 16, 2022, the President of the United States signed into law the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, (the “Act"), which is effective for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2022. TheAdditional information in respect of the Inflation Reduction Act includes several tax incentivesis detailed under Note 1 and 10 to promote climate change mitigation and clean energy, electric vehicles, battery and energy storage manufacture or purchase. Some of these measures may materially affect ourthe condensed consolidated financial statements,statements.

Ormat Systems received “Benefited Enterprise” status under Israel’s Law for Encouragement of Capital Investments, 1959 (the Investment Law), with respect to two of its investment programs through 2011. In January 2011, new legislation amending the Investment Law was enacted. Under the new legislation, a uniform rate of corporate tax will apply to all qualified income of certain industrial companies, as opposed to the previous law’s incentives that are limited to income from a “Benefited Enterprise” during their benefits period. As a result, we now pay a uniform corporate tax rate of 16% with respect to that qualified income. In March 2023, Ormat Systems received an approval from the Israeli Innovation Authority that it owns an "Innovation Promoting Enterprise" and we aretherefore is eligible for a reduced corporate tax rate of 12% on its "Preferred Technological Income" for the tax years 2021 through 2023 (effective tax rate of approximately 13% for 2021 through 2023). The tax benefit of lower effective tax rate is reflected in the process of evaluating the Act and identifying potential effects of the Act as more guidance is issued. Furthermore, the Act introduces the following: (i) a new corporate alternative minimum tax of 15% on adjusted financial statement income of corporations with profits greater than $1 billion over a three-year period; and (ii) an excise tax of 1% of the fair market value of any stock which is repurchased, reduced by any stock issued during the taxable year. The Act also includes significant tax incentives for energy and climate initiatives related to Production Tax Credits (“PTC”) and Investment Tax Credits (“ITC”), including extending ITC to energy storage projects for assets placed in service after December 31, 2022 and the ability to transfer or sell PTCs to other taxpayers. 

There is no immediate impact of the Act to the three or nine months ended September 30, 2022. The Company cannot reasonably estimate the potential impact that the Act’s tax incentives will have to its results of operations in future periods. The excise tax on stock repurchases and the new corporate alternative minimum tax are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations.2023 net income.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

 

A comprehensive discussion of our other risk factors is included in the “Risk Factors” section of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20212022 which was filed with the SEC on February 26, 2021.24, 2023. The risks described in our Form 10-K are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results. During the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, there have been no material changes in our risk factors as previously disclosed except the following:

 

Possible fluctuationsRecent events affecting the financial services industry could have an adverse impact on our business and financial condition.

The recent closures of Silicon Valley Bank, Signature Bank and Silvergate Capital Corporation, as well as acquisitions of Credit Suisse and First Republic Bank at regulators’ behest, have created bank-specific and broader financial institution liquidity risks and concerns. While we did not have any material deposits at any of these institutions, uncertainty remains over liquidity concerns in the costfinancial services industry and potential impacts on the broader global economy, and our business, our customers and suppliers, and/or industry as a whole may be adversely impacted in ways that we cannot predict at this time.

If other banks and financial institutions enter receivership or become insolvent in the future in response to financial conditions affecting the banking system and financial markets, our ability to access our existing cash and cash equivalents may be threatened. In addition, if any of construction, raw materials, commodities and drillingour customers, suppliers or other parties with whom we conduct business are unable to access funds, such parties’ ability to pay or perform their obligations to us or to enter into new commercial arrangements requiring additional payments to us or additional funding could be adversely affected. Moreover, sufficient external financing may materially andnot be available to us on a timely basis, on commercially reasonable terms to us, or at all. Any of these events could adversely affect our business financial condition, future results, and cash flow.

Our manufacturing operations are dependent on the supply of various raw materials, including primarily steel and aluminum, commodities, vessels and industrial equipment components that we use. We currently obtain all such raw materials, commodities and equipment at prevailing market prices. We are not dependent on any one supplier and do not have any long-term agreements with any of our suppliers. Global events such as the ongoing COVID-19 outbreak that began in 2020 has resulted in the extended shutdown of certain businesses in the regions and resulted in delays in the supply and cost increase of raw materials and components that we purchased for our equipment manufacturing and in the cost increase of marine and other transportation. Additionally, Russia’s invasion of and military attacks on Ukraine, including indirect impacts as a result of sanctions and economic disruption, has complicated and may continue to further complicate existing supply chain constraints. Our development activity is also impacted by the supply delay and cost increase of storage batteries and Solar PV panels. Further cost increases of such raw materials, commodities and equipment could adversely affect our profit margins.

We have incurred substantial indebtedness that may decrease our business flexibility, access to capital, and/or increase our borrowing costs, and we may still incur substantially more debt, which may adversely affect our operations and financial results.

In June 2022, we issued $431.25 million aggregate principal amount of 2.50% convertible senior notes due 2027, which we refer to as the Notes. As of September 30, 2022, we had $431.25 million outstanding aggregate principal amount of Notes. Our indebtedness may limit our ability to borrow additional funds for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions or other general business purposes, limit our ability to use our cash flow or obtain additional financing for future working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions or other general business purposes, require us to use a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to make debt service payments, limit our flexibility to plan for, or react to, changes in our business and industry, place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our less leveraged competitors and increase our vulnerability to the impact of adverse economic and industry conditions.

Our debt obligations may adversely affect our ability to raise additional capital and will be a burden on our future cash resources, particularly if we elect to settle these obligations in cash upon conversion or upon maturity or required repurchase.

Our ability to meet our payment obligations under the Notes, depends on our future cash flow performance. This, to some extent, is subject to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative and regulatory factors, as well as other factors that may be beyond our control. There can be no assurance that our business will generate positive cash flow from operations, or that additional capital will be available to us, in an amount sufficient to enable us to meet our debt payment obligations and to fund other liquidity needs. If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flow to service our debt obligations, we may need to refinance or restructure our debt, sell assets, reduce or delay capital investments, or seek to raise additional capital. Our ability to refinance our indebtedness will depend on the capital markets and our financial condition at such time. We may not be able to engage in any of these activities or engage in these activities on desirable terms, which could result in a default on our debt obligations. As a result, we may be more vulnerable to economic downturns, less able to withstand competitive pressures and less flexible in responding to changing business and economic conditions.

64

We may issue additional shares of our common stock in connection with conversions of the Notes, and thereby dilute our existing stockholders and potentially adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

In the event that the Notes are converted and the conversion value exceeds $1,000 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, the ownership interests of existing stockholders will be diluted, and any sales in the public market of any shares of our common stock issuable upon such conversion could adversely affect the prevailing market price of our common stock. In addition, the anticipated conversion of the Notes could depress the market price of our common stock.

The fundamental change provisions of the Notes may delay or prevent an otherwise beneficial takeover attempt of us.

If the Company undergoes a “fundamental change”, subject to certain conditions, holders may require the Company to repurchase for cash all or part of their Notes at a fundamental change repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date. In addition, if such fundamental change also constitutes a “make-whole fundamental change”, the conversion rate for the Notes may be increased upon conversion of the Notes in connection with such “make-whole fundamental change”. Any increase in the conversion rate will be determined based on the date on which the “make-whole fundamental change” occurs or becomes effective and the price paid (or deemed paid) per share of our common stock in such transaction. Any such increase will be dilutive to our existing stockholders. Our obligation to repurchase the Notes or increase the conversion rate upon the occurrence of a make-whole fundamental change may, in certain circumstances, delay or prevent a takeover of us that might otherwise be beneficial to our stockholders.

The Capped Call Transactions may affect the value of the Notes and our common stock.

In connection with the issuance of the Notes, we entered into Capped Call Transactions with certain financial institutions. The Capped Call Transactions are expected generally to reduce or offset the potential dilution upon conversion of the Notes and/or offset any cash payments we are required to make in excess of the principal amount of converted Notes, as the case may be, with such reduction and/or offset subject to a cap.

From time to time, certain financial institutions (with which we entered into the Capped Call Transactions) or their respective affiliates may modify their hedge positions by entering into or unwinding various derivatives with respect to our common stock and/or purchasing or selling our common stock or other securities of ours in secondary market transactions prior to the maturity of the Notes. This activity could also cause or avoid an increase or a decrease in the market price of our common stock.

The potential effect, if any, of these transactions and activities on the price of our common stock or Notes will depend in part on market conditions and cannot be ascertained at this time. Any of these activities could adversely affect the value of our common stock.

We are subject to counterparty risk with respect to the Capped Call Transactions.

All or some of the financial institutions (which are counterparties to the capped call transactions) might default under the Capped Call Transactions. Our exposure to the credit risk of the counterparties will not be secured by any collateral. Past global economic conditions have resulted in the actual or perceived failure or financial difficulties of many financial institutions. If an option counterparty becomes subject to insolvency proceedings, we will become an unsecured creditor in those proceedings with a claim equal to our exposure at the time under the capped call transactions with such option counterparty. Our exposure will depend on many factors but, generally, an increase in our exposure will be correlated to an increase in the market price and in the volatility of our common stock. In addition, upon a default by an option counterparty, we may suffer adverse tax consequences and more dilution than we currently anticipate with respect to our common stock. We can provide no assurance as to the financial stability or viability of the option counterparties.condition.
