Polaris Renewable Energy (TSE:PIF) Posts Earnings Results

Polaris Renewable Energy (TSE:PIF) released its quarterly earnings results on Thursday. The company reported C($0.48) earnings per share (EPS) for the quarter, FiscalAI reports.

During the same quarter in the prior year, the company earned ($0.02) earnings per share.

Here are the key takeaways from Polaris Renewable Energy’s conference call:

• Consolidated generation fell 3% year over year in Q3 and 5% year to date, mainly due to Dominican Republic curtailment and Nicaragua constraints. Dominican curtailment eased to 18% in Q3 from 35% in the first half, while Puerto Rico wind generation rose 52% and partly offset declines elsewhere.
• Polaris reported a $7.2 million net loss attributable to shareholders, including an $8.3 million non-cash impairment tied to Dominican Republic project constraints and curtailment; management said Canoa 2 is not a near-term priority. Revenue was broadly flat at $19 million, while adjusted EBITDA decreased 3% to $12.3 million.
• The company ended the quarter with approximately $99 million in cash and declared a quarterly dividend of $0.15 per share. Operating cash flow benefited from higher collections in Peru, partly offset by increased development spending.
• Management highlighted three awarded Mexico projects totaling 250 MW plus battery storage, with PPAs expected in December and January and construction anticipated to begin thereafter. It expects clarity on additional Mixtos 2 awards by the end of November, which could materially expand the company’s capacity over time.
• Polaris ordered battery equipment for its ASAP project, targeting delivery in March–April 2027 and commissioning in Q3 2027; management cited strong expected returns. The roughly $55–60 million supply choice is not expected to qualify for U.S. investment tax credits, but the company said its cost and timing assessment favored the selected supplier.
