Polaris Infrastructure Announces Q1 2022 Results
TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / May 5, 2022 / Polaris Infrastructure Inc.
(TSX:PIF) ("Polaris Infrastructure" or the "Company"), is pleased to report
its financial and operating results for the three-months period ended March
31, 2022. This earnings release should be read in conjunction with Polaris
Infrastructure's consolidated financial statements and management's discussion
and analysis, which are available on the Company's website
at www.polarisinfrastructure.com (https://pr.report/E-oPkIWn) and have been
posted on SEDAR at www.sedar.com (https://pr.report/EC39cdpx) . The dollar
figures below are denominated in US Dollars unless noted otherwise.
HIGHLIGHTS
· Consolidated energy production of 177,765 MWh (net) for the
period ended March 31, 2022, of which 113,915 MWh (net) was contributed by the
Company's geothermal facility in Nicaragua, the San Jacinto facility ("San
Jacinto"), and an aggregate of 63,850 MWh (net) was contributed by the
Company's hydroelectric facilities in Peru, being the Canchayllo facility
("Canchayllo"), the El Carmen facility ("El Carmen") and the 8 de Agosto
facility ("8 de Agosto").
· The Company generated $16.1 million in revenue, including $15.7
million from energy sales and $0.4 million from the sale of carbon emission
reduction ("CER") credits from San Jacinto for the period ended March 31,
2022, compared to $15.7 million in energy sales in the same period in 2021.
· Net earnings attributable to owners was $2.5 million or $0.13 per
share - basic for the period ended March 31, 2022, compared to net loss of
$0.9 million or $(0.05) per share - basic for the same period in 2021. Net
earnings were higher due to higher revenue from CER credits sold in the
quarter, coupled with other gains from valuation of conversion option
liability, and lower depreciation, partly offset by higher finance costs.
Adjusted EBITDA ((1)) was $12.1 million for the period ended March 31, 2022,
compared to $11.9 million in the same period in 2021.
· For the period ended March 31, 2022, the Company generated $7.6
million in net cash flow from operating activities, ending with a strong cash
position of $87.2 million ((2)) .
· Continued progress on the construction of the Binary power plant
at San Jacinto, which is on schedule for completion in the fourth quarter of
2022. An additional $6.8 million was spent in the quarter, bringing the total
investment to date to $13.7 million.
· On February 11, 2022, the Company completed a Senior Debt
Facility with three Development Financial Institutions for $110.0 million in
total and settled the Senior and Subordinated project loans for the Company's
wholly owned geothermal subsidiary in Nicaragua. Further to the December 2020
extension of Nicaragua's PPA to 2039, and consistent with the Company's
strategy, the Debt Refinancing now aligns the amortization of the debt with
the extended power purchase agreement ("PPA").
· On March 17, 2022, the Company announced it had signed a share
purchase agreement ("SPA") to acquire a run-of-the-river hydro project with
approximately 6.3 MWs capacity, in Ecuador, for $20.4 million. On the closing
of this transaction, the Company will also assume approximately $7.0 million
worth of debt from the Project lender. The hydro project includes two
expansion opportunities with the introduction of a conduction channel from the
adjacent Perlabi River, which the Company believes would increase the load
factor of the hydro project. Such expansion is underway and is expected to be
completed in the fourth quarter of 2022. The SPA is subject to customary
closing conditions, including the approval of the acquisition by local
regulatory bodies. It is expected that these conditions will take 60-90 days
to finalize.
· On March 17, 2022, the Company also completed the acquisition of
two solar projects, with expected total capacity of approximately 13
MWdc( (3)) , located in Panama. Polaris Infrastructure agreed to pay $0.6
million purchase price in exchange for the licenses and permits required to
complete the construction of the solar plants and to operate them once
construction is complete, as well as the land where they will be built. Total
construction cost is expected to be approximately $10.0 million, and the
target commercial operation date ("COD") is early 2023. In connection with the
completion of this transaction, the Company will receive exclusive development
rights for two additional development stage solar projects in Panama.
· On April 20, 2022, the Company announced it had signed a SPA to
acquire a 32 MWdc( (3)) operational solar project named Canoa 1 (the
"Project") located in the Barahona Province, Dominican Republic. The Project
reached COD in March 2020 and has a 20-year PPA in place with Edesur
Dominicana SA ("EDESUR"), a local Dominican distributor. Polaris
Infrastructure has agreed to pay $18.4 million in cash at closing in exchange
for all of the issued and outstanding common shares as well as the licenses
and permits of the Project. Such purchase price is subject to customary
working capital adjustments from signing of the SPA until closing. The Company
will assume non-recourse debt at the project level of approximately $35.0
million. The Project has a PPA denominated in US dollars with an estimated
price for 2022 of $128.10 per Mwhr. Such PPA has an inflator of 1.22% per
annum until the price reaches $142.80 per Mwhr at which point the price
remains fixed until the end of the PPA in 2040. The closing of the acquisition
is subject to customary conditions including approval of the share transfer by
appropriate local ministries and the project lender. Closing is expected to
occur within 90 days of signing.
· The Company remains focused on maintaining a quarterly dividend.
For the period ended March 31, 2022, the Company declared and paid $2.9
million in dividends. The Company has declared the twenty-fifth consecutive
quarterly dividend of $0.15 per outstanding common share, which will be paid
on May 27, 2022.
· The Company continued to advance its environmental, social and
governance ("ESG") initiatives as part of its core strategy while continuing
to maintain an excellent health and safety record. Readers are encouraged to
refer to the Company's ESG annual report, which is available on the Company's
website for additional details.
· The Company does not conduct business with or within Russia and
Ukraine; however global instability is increasing market and foreign exchange
volatility, worsening existing supply chain delays, and bringing inflationary
pressures to the economy, impacting not only the entities with interests or
exposures to both countries. Although the current exposure to these risks is
determined as low, the Company continues evaluating them to determine if
mitigation measures in place are appropriate or need to be adjusted, as
needed.
· Despite the unprecedented challenges faced as a result of the
Covid-19 global pandemic and related variants, all facilities remained in
operation and continue to operate to date. Over 99% of our employees in all
locations are fully vaccinated.

Measures' section below.
2. Net of transaction costs.
During the three months ended March 31, 2022 quarterly consolidated power
production MWs (net) was lower than the same period in 2021, due to lower
production in Nicaragua partly offset by higher production from Peru.
For Nicaragua, first quarter 2022 production averaged 52.7 MWs (net), compared
to 55.5 MWs (net) in the first quarter of 2021. On a quarter over quarter
basis, production increased from 51.4 MWs (net) in the fourth quarter of 2021
to 52.7 MWs (net) in the first quarter 2022. Management is of the view that
this increase is a result of reinstating a more outfield injection strategy in
early December 2021 leading to more stability in wells 9-3 and 6-2.
Consolidated production in Peru for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was
higher due to both higher water availability at 8 de Agosto and Canchayllo and
technical issues at the intake that occurred at 8 de Agosto in the first
quarter 2021 that were subsequently resolved. These increases were partly
offset by the decrease in production at El Carmen, which experienced minor
intake issues during the quarter. Such issues have been resolved and
management expects higher availability going forward at both El Carmen and 8
de Agosto.
"We are pleased with the first quarter results as we continue to build on our
longer-term strategy by delivering operationally, generating strong cash flow
and focusing on our diversification. Once the announced acquisitions close,
our jurisdictions will increase to five, with six plants in operation, and
solar power added to our generation mix, while maintaining 100% of revenues
derived in US dollars. In addition, we view all the new jurisdictions as very
attractive markets for the Company to grow and develop further renewable
projects" noted Marc Murnaghan , Chief Executive Officer of Polaris
Infrastructure.

information reflects management's current beliefs and is based on information
currently available to management. Often, but not always, forward-looking
statements can be identified by the use of words such as "plans", "expects",
"is expected", "budget", "estimates", "goals", "intends", "targets", "aims",
"likely", "typically", "potential", "probable", "projects", "continue",
"strategy", "proposed", or "believes" or variations (including negative
variations) of such words and phrases or may be identified by statements to
the effect that certain actions, events or results "may", "could", "should",
"would", "might" or "will" be taken, occur or be achieved..
A number of known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors may cause
the actual results or performance to materially differ from any future results
or performance expressed or implied by the forward-looking information. Such
factors include, among others: failure to discover and establish economically
recoverable and sustainable resources through exploration and development
programs; imprecise estimation of probability simulations prepared to predict
prospective resources or energy generation capacities; inability to complete
hydro projects in the required time to meet COD; variations in project
parameters and production rates; defects and adverse claims in the title to
the Company's properties; failure to obtain or maintain necessary licenses,

factors that cause actions, events or results not to be as anticipated,
estimated or intended. These factors are not intended to represent a complete
list of the risk factors that could affect us. These factors should be
carefully considered, and readers of this press release should not place undue
reliance on forward-looking information.

cause actual actions, events or results to differ materially from those
described in forward-looking information, there may be other factors that
cause actions, events or results to differ from those anticipated, estimated
or intended. Forward-looking information contained herein is provided as at
the date hereof and the Company disclaims any obligation to update any
forward-looking information, whether as a result of new information, future
events or results or otherwise, except as required by applicable laws. There
can be no assurance that forward-looking information will prove to be
accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from

Non-GAAP Performance Measures
Certain measures in this press release do not have any standardized meaning as
prescribed by IFRS and, therefore, are not considered GAAP measures. Where
non-GAAP measures or terms are used, definitions are provided. In this
document and in the Company's consolidated financial statements, unless
otherwise noted, all financial data is prepared in accordance with IFRS.
This news release includes references to the Company's adjusted earnings
before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("adjusted EBITDA") and
adjusted EBITDA per share, which are non-GAAP measures. These measures should
not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net earnings (loss)
attributable to the owners of the Company or other measures of financial
performance calculated in accordance with IFRS. Rather, these measures are
provided to complement IFRS measures in the analysis of Polaris
Infrastructure's results since the Company believes that the presentation of
these measures will enhance an investor's understanding of Polaris
Infrastructure's operating performance. Management's determination of the
components of non-GAAP performance measures are evaluated on a periodic basis
in accordance with its policy and are influenced by new transactions and
circumstances, a review of stakeholder uses and new applicable regulations.
When applicable, changes to the measures are noted and retrospectively
applied.
Descriptions and reconciliations of the above noted non-GAAP performance
measures are included in Section 11: Non-GAAP Performance Measures in the
Company's MD&A for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and in the
